"Senior Disciple Brother, you're back!"
Tang Xiaoguo immediately stood up and said guiltily, "Sister Su said she wants to defeat the three newly selected disciples, so she can join us in Qingxu Heaven..."
"Nonsense!"
Li Tianjue's face sank. Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sweet voice calling him, "Senior Disciple Brother! You're here to watch my match too, I'm so happy!"
On the stage, Su Luo smiled like a blooming rose and waved at him, "Don't worry, Senior Disciple Brother, I can definitely defeat the First Prince. Then we can return to Qingxu Heaven together."
With a swish, countless pairs of eyes fixed on Li Tianjue.
The First Prince, Shangguan Hanyu, could hardly believe it, "Young Master Li, you, you know her?"
No wonder this woman's cultivation was so rapid. Not only was she audacious enough to kill his fourth brother and injure so many people, but she even dared to come to him, wanting to snatch his qualification to join Qingxu Heaven. It turned out she had the backing of this influential figure in Qingxu Heaven.
Although everyone saw Li Tianjue for the first time, they had already guessed that he was the renowned chief disciple of Qingxu Heaven.
"So he is Young Master Li? Indeed, he has extraordinary bearing and exceptional demeanor!"
"Miss Su actually managed to get close to Young Master Li, how is that possible?"
"What a distinguished figure Young Master Li is, no wonder Miss Su has transformed from a cripple into a genius so quickly. It seems to be all thanks to Young Master Li. I'm truly envious of her..."
"I can't believe Young Master Li, who is so cold and ruthless, would break Qingxu Heaven's rules for a woman, tsk tsk!"
Just as everyone was murmuring and Li Tianjue's expression grew increasingly grim, Emperor Yun Cang rushed over anxiously.
"It's her, Young Master Li! This woman is outrageously bold, she actually violated Qingxu Heaven's recruitment rules, injured so many people, killed my fourth imperial son, and still dares to challenge Hanyu in public. I implore Young Master Li to deal with this impartially."
After speaking, Emperor Yun Cang cautiously awaited his response.
Amidst the crowd, Li Tianjue stood with his hands behind his back, like a crane among chickens, a god descended to earth. Countless people were captivated by his demeanor, and the scene quickly fell silent, becoming utterly quiet.
Li Tianjue glanced at the stage and said with an unreadable tone, "Su Luo, come down. If you continue to make a fuss, don't blame me for being ruthless."
He didn't know why, but he didn't directly lay a heavy hand on this woman and throw her out. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Seeing Shangguan Hanyu's schadenfreude, Su Luo said with mock seriousness, "I'm not making a fuss. Since Qingxu Heaven recruits new disciples through martial arts competitions, they should naturally select the powerful ones. If I can defeat these three, they are just incompetent fools. Why would Qingxu Heaven want such idiots? Of course, they should choose me."
"Everyone, tell me, am I making sense?"
The crowd, initially relishing the chaos, had wished for this, but as someone piped up in agreement, "Right..."
Immediately, they were nudged by the person next to them, and only then did they realize and quickly shut their mouths.
With Li Tianjue present, no one dared to speak out of turn.
Li Tianjue's face darkened, "I said Qingxu Heaven won't accept you, don't you understand?"
"Senior Disciple Brother, how can you be like this?"
Su Luo instantly changed to a pitiable expression and said resentfully, "Are you still holding a grudge for what happened last night? You pinned me down so heavily, and I didn't blame you, yet you're like this... Do you want to hide from me forever?"
This statement shocked everyone.
So, the eldest daughter of the Su family really had something going on with this Young Master Li, and things had progressed to that point!
Even Emperor Yun Cang and Su Fengnian and others conjured up seventeen or eighteen romantic scenarios in their minds, speculating if this seemingly stern and decisive chief disciple of Qingxu Heaven was trying to abandon her after seducing her, which was why he was resisting Su Luo so much.
Tang Xiaoguo was full of curiosity. What exactly did Senior Disciple Brother do to Sister Su?
"Shut up!"
Li Tianjue's eyes were sharp, wishing he could drag Su Luo off the stage and kill her with a single palm...
No one had ever dared to slander him like this. This little brat was tired of living!
Shangguan Hanyu noticed Li Tianjue's anger and seized the opportunity, saying, "Young Master Li, this woman is so arrogant and even dares to slander you. Why don't you let me have a decisive battle with her, so she knows her place!"
"If we fight, the loser has to obediently hand over their jade token."
Su Luo showed no fear, looking at him with a half-smile.
Shangguan Hanyu's face darkened, and he swiftly drew his long sword, pointing it at her and shouting, "Stop the nonsense! My sword has eyes too. Today, I will avenge my fourth brother and tear you to shreds!"
With that, he thrust his sword towards Su Luo.
Su Luo, having been prepared, drew her sword to meet him.
With a clang, the tips of their swords collided, sparks flying.
Shangguan Hanyu's sword moved like a shooting star, and he exchanged over ten blows with Su Luo in an instant, but every one of them was blocked by her. He couldn't exert his usual power and grew increasingly alarmed as they fought.
"Eighteen Swords of Cangqiong, nothing more. Is this all you've got? You still want to join Qingxu Heaven?" Su Luo chuckled lightly, stepped forward abruptly, deflected Shangguan Hanyu's attacking sword, and thrust it towards his brow.
Shangguan Hanyu was caught off guard, his footing faltered, and he almost fell to the ground.
Enraged, he dared not hold back any longer. His palms erupted with a burst of spiritual light, and he fiercely struck upwards, roaring, "Heavenly Thunder Slash!"
Boom!
In the clear blue sky, a thunderous roar erupted, making everyone's eardrums ache faintly.
As a blue lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, was about to descend, Su Luo not only remained unfazed but had been waiting for this moment. She threw a punch towards Shangguan Hanyu's chest.
Shangguan Hanyu was about to dodge but found he couldn't muster any strength. In his alarm, he took the punch head-on.
"Enjoy it!"
Su Luo gave a sly smile, changed her fist to a claw, and lightning-fast, grabbed Shangguan Hanyu by the collar, twisted, and lifted him, throwing him out like a human sandbag.
The lightning struck precisely at that moment, hitting Shangguan Hanyu right on the head. He let out a scream as his hair stood on end, instantly becoming disheveled, his hair styled into an explosion, and white smoke rising from his body.
Su Luo sheathed her sword and stood, not pursuing him further.
From the beginning, she had known the First Prince Shangguan Hanyu's weakness. Although he was already at the second stage of Xuantian Master, his cultivation far surpassed hers, and his techniques were potent, he had a fatal flaw.
Once Shangguan Hanyu unleashed his most adept lightning-elemental techniques, there would be a one-second lag in his spiritual energy, making it impossible to circulate. Su Luo had been waiting for this precisely, finally catching him using this suicidal move.
The crowd below was stunned and finally erupted in cheers.
Miss Su had even defeated the First Prince, she was too formidable. She was truly the undisputed number one genius of the younger generation in Yun Cang Kingdom!
"First Prince, you lost. Hand over the jade token," Su Luo said calmly, holding her sword.
Shangguan Hanyu, electrocuted by his own Heavenly Thunder Slash and humiliated in front of everyone, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
He slowly reached into his robes, as if to take out the jade token, then suddenly flung his hand forward... dozens of cold glints shot out, striking Su Luo like a torrential downpour.
Shangguan Hanyu roared, "Bitch, die!"
