"Inside the Celestial Pride Hall, everything comes down to strength. The younger generation of the Great Zhou Country—even the one before them—might not be strong enough to suppress the others. But you are different. You can."
Upon hearing this, Shen Bai's expression shifted to one of sudden understanding. "So, Your Majesty's purpose in summoning me was to have me go to the Celestial Pride Hall and give the prodigies from other countries a sound thrashing."
The Saint Martial Emperor stated expressionlessly, "That's right. That is my purpose. I want them to know that even though I suffer from a chronic illness, I am not someone they can trifle with."
The "they" he referred to were, of course, the emperors of the other countries.
As the monarch of a nation, one who had risen during a time of war and conquered all under heaven, the Saint Martial Emperor had never feared anyone.
