Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 2593

At that moment, a priest dressed in a long robe stood up and held a scripture in his hands. He said many words but they were all meaningless to Fade.

Nearly half an hour later, when the sky had completely darkened, the priest finally ended his speech, announcing that the Sword in the Stone ceremony had officially begun.

Next, over ten thousand of the members of the royal family drew their swords and knelt to the Sword in the Stone on one knee.

After that, it was finally the highlight of the ceremony. Each member of the royal family was going to attempt to pull out the Sword in the Stone. If they succeeded, they would earn the respect of the royal family.

All the disciples in the royal family were itching to have a go.

Most of the people present knew that the battle for the Sword in the Stone was between Prince Aubrey and Prince Bruton. The other members of the royal family didn't stand a chance.

However, after all, it was an annual grand event and a chance to change one's life. Many royal members wanted to give it a try.

As the priest announced the list, the members of the royal family took turns heading towards the square stone in the center of the courtyard. They gathered their breath and held the rusty stone sword with their hands. Gritting their teeth, they tried to pull the sword out of the stone.

However, after a series of attempts, the Sword in the Stone remained intact. Moving it seemed like an impossible task.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten royal members had made their attempts, but there was still no progress.

Although everyone expected the results, they were inevitably a little disappointed when they saw it with their own eyes. The high-level members of the royal family sitting behind the curtain on the second floor of the manor couldn't help sighing when they looked down.

At this time, Fade squinted and looked at the scene as he became a little interested in it.

That was because he had been observing from before. Although these royal family members with common knowledge didn't have any powerful martial artists, they still had basic strength. Even the weakest were at the early stage of the Earth Level, while the strongest were even at the Heaven Level.

With this kind of strength, they would be considered experts compared to ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, if an iron sword was inserted into a stone, a martial artist at the middle or advanced stage of the Yellow Level could pull the sword out, let alone an Earth Level martial artist.

However, now, the Sword in the Stone still hadn't budged. He had to admit that it was a little mysterious.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into cheers, which awakened Fade from his thoughts.

He looked up and saw a man in his mid thirties. The surrounding area was filled with enthusiastic applause and discussions when he stood up. Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but ask Celine out of curiosity, "Who's that? Is he that good?"

She drew close to him and explained in a low voice, "That's Mr. Jobrey. He's a junior of the royal bloodline. Although his status isn't as high as Prince Aubrey or Prince Bruton, his grandfather was the younger brother of the king. He can be considered a blood relative of the royal family."

"More importantly, Jobrey served in the army since he was 18 years old. He has made outstanding military achievements and his strength isn't bad. He's quite famous."

"Someone even said that if it wasn't for the bloodline, Jobrey would be able to compete with the two princes."

"It's almost impossible for Jobrey to compete for the throne, but it'll be a great opportunity for him and his family to raise their social status if he succeeded."

"Besides, last year, Jobrey was one of the best royal members, so everyone is looking forward to seeing him."

After hearing what Celine had said, Fade nodded and looked at Jobrey with great interest. "I see!"

At that moment, Jobrey walked up to the Sword in the Stone. His legs parted slightly and his shoulders lightly shook, allowing his feet to stand firmly on the ground.

Then, his hands reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword. Then, he used his arms and began to pull out the sword.

The tremendous force he exerted made the veins in Jobrey's arms pop out. Both his feet sunk slowly into the ground.

The Sword in the Stone, which hadn't moved before, was shaking under Jobrey's great force.

Suddenly, the discussion and cheers in the courtyard became more enthusiastic.

As if encouraged, Jobrey once again clenched his teeth and tried his best to pull out the Sword in the Stone.

Finally, the Sword in the Stone, which hadn't budge, suddenly revealed itself a little.

Suddenly, the scene became quiet, and then everyone burst into cheers.

"Jobrey, good luck!"

"Good job, Mr. Jobrey!"

"As expected of Mr. Jobrey. He's too powerful."

Amidst the cheers, the Sword in the Stone was still slowly moving upward, and the sword slowly revealed from the stone, which excited everyone.

He had pulled out about ten

centimeters of the sword. Jobrey's face was flushed, his thick arms were trembling, and his teeth were bleeding slightly, but he wanted to try harder. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

However, the Sword in the Stone stopped moving.

After a

deadlock for over ten seconds, he couldn't go on. He loosened his grip, and the sword that was pulled out 10 centimeters went back into the stone. It was exactly the same as the original state, as if nothing had happened.

Presently, he was holding his knees with both hands and panting heavily. Obviously, he was exhausted.

Although he hadn't succeeded in drawing the Sword in the Stone, his wonderful performance had won warm cheers.

Even the royal elders behind the curtain on the second floor praised, "Not bad."

Jobrey gasped for a while and then left. The scene gradually quietened down.

Then, in the eyes of the crowd, Princess Erin, dressed in a beautiful fluffy skirt, walked out of the crowd.

At the sight of her face, everyone was drawn in. Looking at her exquisite angel-like face, many people appeared intoxicated.

Fade was also a bit surprised. He looked towards Celine and said, "Even Princess Erin wants to try?"

"Whatever the result is, it would be unjustifiable if they didn't even dare to try as members of the royal family," Celine replied as she nodded.

At this point, Erin had arrived in front of the Sword in the Stone. Compared to the sword, the 13-year-old seemed a little short.

In order to hold the Sword in the Stone, she had to gently stand on her tiptoes, then, she puffed up her pretty face, exerted a little force, and began to try to pull out the Sword in the Stone.
