Chapter 172: Fan Longyus Dominance

Chapter 172: Fan Longyus Dominance

Zhanyue sheathed his sword and turned his gaze to the arena. He had grasped the most basic moves of the Xiaguang Sword technique, but was far from being able to create a sky full of rosy clouds like Song Yuxian. However, Song Yuxian had only fallen to the losers’ bracket, so Zhanyue would have more chances to observe later.

On the arena, Gongsun Taoli’s face was serious. He too had an extraordinary bearing, holding a peach wood staff in his right hand. Opposite him stood a muscular red-haired man. Though clothed, a red light on his chest was impossible to conceal. He looked at Gongsun Taoli with a hint of mockery, seemingly not taking his opponent seriously at all.

“This Fan Longyu is a disciple of the Four Saints of the Lake, who are four True Realm experts,” Alchemy Daoist introduced.

“Four True Realm masters?” Zhanyue was shocked. He had been underestimating the heroes of the world all along.

“What should we do? Senior Brother can’t beat him,” Nangong Weilai beside them was too nervous to sit still. Having grown up in the Moon Reflection Pavilion, Gongsun Taoli had cared for her like an elder brother, so she naturally hoped for her senior brother to win.

Gongsun Taoli took a deep breath, feeling somewhat angry at Fan Longyu’s disdainful gaze. He was really being underestimated.

He thrust his peach wood staff into the ground, and instantly, a peach forest rose on the arena, as if by magic.

“Illusion?” Everyone was surprised, but only the target of an illusion should be able to see these phantoms. Could he have cast the spell on everyone simultaneously?

“It’s not an illusion, but an illusory realm. We can all see it. This is a technique more advanced than illusions, even more advanced than illusion arrays. This Gongsun Taoli is no simple character,” an elder skilled in illusions said.

“Child’s play,” Fan Longyu still looked disdainfully at the surrounding peach forest, not moving an inch.

“Three Thousand Blades of Falling Peach Blossoms!” Gongsun Taoli immediately unleashed his signature move. Countless peach blossoms fell, the petals like countless blades flying towards Fan Longyu. The spinning peach petals formed a terrifying blade storm, with Fan Longyu at its center.

Fan Longyu took a step, and a ring of fire spread from his feet, instantly dispersing all the surrounding flying blades, not a single leaf touching him.

Just as Fan Longyu was about to mock, he felt a chill on his neck. A small green snake had somehow silently approached him and bit the back of his neck.

“Get lost!” Fan Longyu roared, letting out a high-pitched dragon’s cry from his mouth. This dragon cry made everyone feel dizzy. The small green snake was stunned unconscious and tossed back to Gongsun Taoli like trash.

Soon after, a deep voice came: “Her marriage is her own decision. We won’t interfere.” Fan Longyu’s special status made it difficult to directly offend him.

Outside the arena, Mi Hongchen, who had been watching the competition with Gong Xiaoyu, suddenly had her face covered in black lines when she was mentioned. She was about to go down and beat up that bastard, but was held back by Gong Xiaoyu.

“If you appear, you’d be fulfilling his wish. Even if you win, so what? It would just be bullying someone weaker,” Gong Xiaoyu advised.

Mi Hongchen nodded and responded via voice transmission: “I am devoted to the martial path and have no interest in these romantic affairs. Moreover, I don’t think we are a ‘perfect match’ as you claim. Your dragon breath indeed aids my cultivation, but I have always relied on my own efforts to advance. Why would I need assistance from others? Don’t entertain any further thoughts. Give up this idea.”

Mi Hongchen had directly rejected him. Fan Longyu didn’t get angry or embarrassed, but said: “Your Highness, I won’t give up on you. One day, I will make you see my worth!” He hadn’t expected Mi Hongchen to agree in the first place, he just wanted to announce to the world that Mi Hongchen was the woman he had his eye on, warning others not to have any ideas.

After this scene, gossip ignited everyone’s hearts. The ticket was really worth it.

“This Fan Longyu is so domineering. He probably hasn’t had any interaction with the Princess, maybe hasn’t even met her, yet he directly proposed,” Zhanyue frowned, disliking this kind of behavior. He was still a superficial person who cared about looks. These cultivators didn’t even look at faces, purely for their own cultivation. Under this concept, what’s the difference between people and tools? He didn’t think Fan Longyu was attracted to Mi Hongchen because of her beauty.

Baizhi beside him said, “Don’t learn from him. It’s so embarrassing.”

“Isn’t public confession romantic?” Zhanyue asked curiously.

“It’s stupid. I prefer something more low-key,” Baizhi replied. Not all girls like this approach.

“Hmph, you only know how to talk about love. Can’t you comfort someone!” Nangong Weilai said dissatisfied. She was still upset about her senior brother’s defeat.

“Your senior brother has only fallen to the losers’ bracket. He still has a chance. Let’s continue watching the competition,” Zhanyue comforted.

“In Group B, Huang Xueqing and Fan Longyu enter the winners’ bracket, Jiang Licheng and Gongsun Taoli enter the losers’ bracket. Next is the battle of Group C, Yunyao from White Cloud House versus Huan Xiaoyao from Night City!” Thunder Lord’s voice resonated throughout the venue.
