After Xiao Yu said this, his eyes shone with immense confidence.
At the same time, his Profound Core Fourth Layer might erupted.
The temperature around them began to rise rapidly.
Scorched by the flames, the arena had already begun to blacken and crack.
"Qing'er, how about I do it?"
Just then, a voice rang out.
Hearing this, Shangguan Qing'er looked over, disgust in her eyes.
"No need. Sorry to trouble you, Young Master Du, but my affairs are none of your concern."
Di Juetian glanced over.
Name: Du Ziteng Identity: young master of the No Delusion Sect, cannon-fodder villain Strength: Profound Core Fourth Layer Cultivation techniques: No Delusion Art, Break Yang Finger...
He hadn't expected this guy to be a minor villain too.
Looks like he's a simp.
But he's a good-for-nothing simp.
At least other simps pursue heroines blessed by fortune. This Shangguan Qing'er isn't even a Child of Fortune.
Why are you chasing after her?
I can't understand it.
Still, since this guy's a villain, I'll lend him a hand.
Di Juetian thought of something, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes.
Beside him, Du Ziteng's body jolted.
Then he sat down and quietly watched the match in the arena.
Seeing Du Ziteng act this way, Shangguan Qing'er also looked surprised.
Then she lost interest.
Xiao Yu glanced at Du Ziteng, disdain in his eyes.
If this guy came up here, I could deal with him in one move.
"Xiao Yu, let me see how much skill you've gained over these three years."
Shangguan Qing'er came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Yu.
"Fire God Palm!"
Xiao Yu opened with his signature move.
Xiao Yu had his own plans.
He would end the fight as quickly as possible.
And make Shangguan Qing'er regret it.
Breaking off the engagement back then had been the wrong decision.
But ideals were beautiful, while reality was cruel.
Shangguan Qing'er moved and vanished.
She dodged Xiao Yu's palm strike outright.
Xiao Yu's expression changed.
He hadn't expected Shangguan Qing'er to be so fast.
The other spectators also looked on in disbelief at Shangguan Qing'er.
Then they looked at the young master in the arena.
They wondered whether this young master had intervened and helped Shangguan Qing'er make a breakthrough.
Shangguan Qing'er's aptitude wasn't very good.
Some of the factions also knew how strong Shangguan Qing'er was.
Now, Shangguan Qing'er's strength was completely different from what she had shown in battle.
Xiao Yu's expression merely changed.
As a Child of Fortune, his mental fortitude was beyond what others could match.
Seeing Shangguan Qing'er dodge his palm strike, Xiao Yu put away his contempt.
But immediately afterward, his expression changed.
He discovered something.
Shangguan Qing'er had actually gotten behind him.
Xiao Yu turned and threw a punch behind him.
"Bang!"
Xiao Yu's fist was caught.
"Is this how you spent these three years?"
Shangguan Qing'er exerted force.
Xiao Yu went flying and crashed straight to the ground.
The arena trembled.
Cracks appeared where Xiao Yu had fallen.
Quite a few people snickered at the sight of Xiao Yu.
"Let me show you how I spent these three years."
"That's right, I spent them falling on my face."
"Haha, fellow Daoist, what you said was truly profound."
The people watching the fight in the arena began to mock Xiao Yu.
A Child of Fortune?
Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he looked embarrassed. He hadn't expected a moment of carelessness to make him lose face.
But however harshly you're mocking me now, I'll soon show you how quickly a face-slap can come.
At the thought, the flames around Xiao Yu began to gather.
A fire python appeared.
His eyes glinted coldly.
Xiao Yu moved, riding the fire python as he charged at Shangguan Qing'er.
At the same time, might began to gather in his hand.
A giant palm three meters across appeared, surrounded by flames.
A closer look revealed that flames were burning in Xiao Yu's eyes as well.
"I didn't expect it to be a kind of heaven and earth's strange fire."
"Indeed, but I can't make out what kind of flame it is. It looks rather like beast fire."
There wasn't a ripple in Shangguan Qing'er's eyes, but she was now somewhat relieved.
If Di Juetian hadn't helped her break through, she would have lost today.
She hadn't expected that over a decade of hard work would be worth less than this guy's three years of cultivation.
Thinking of her older sister, who was even more terrifying than Xiao Yu, she wondered what level Shangguan Wan'er's strength had reached.
"No, I have to win. I have to replace her. I want her to look up to me."
Shangguan Qing'er's gaze changed.
She looked at Xiao Yu.
Then she moved and vanished.
When she appeared again, she descended from the sky.
She swung out a palm.
It smashed the fire python apart.
At the same time, a freezing power appeared.
It froze Xiao Yu solid.
Seeing Shangguan Qing'er suddenly strike and smash Xiao Yu's fire python apart,
then freeze Xiao Yu,
the others sucked in a cold breath.
What level had this woman's strength reached?
Looking at the frozen Xiao Yu,
the spectators sighed.
"I didn't expect the three-year challenge to become a joke."
"A joke? Could you reach the Profound Core realm in three years?"
"If it weren't for that young master, do you think she could have won?"
The others fell silent. Even in ten years, let alone three, they couldn't cultivate to the Profound Core realm.
Cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current: if you didn't advance, you fell back.
Only now did they come to their senses. Shangguan Qing'er had cultivated for over a decade, while Xiao Yu had cultivated for only three years.
"This guy is actually a genius. It's just that fortune hasn't favored him."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Holy shit!"
Just then, quite a few spectators cried out in alarm.
Even Di Juetian was surprised.
He hadn't expected Shangguan Qing'er to be so ruthless.
They saw Shangguan Qing'er take out a sword and thrust it straight into the ice sculpture.
That was right, she had thrust it straight in.
"Crack!"
The blade went in white and came out red.
Seeing the ice sculpture turn red,
quite a few people's scalps went numb.
Shangguan Wan'er's body also trembled, and she felt a pang of pain.
"Shangguan Qing'er, stop!"
Shangguan Wan'er shouted angrily.
Shangguan Qing'er acted as though she hadn't heard.
Then she continued stabbing the ice sculpture.
At the thought, anger burned in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes.
"I didn't expect you to become so rebellious in three years. Today, I'll take action in Father's place."
"Our Shangguan Lineage was in the wrong about this to begin with."
After saying this, Shangguan Wan'er was about to act.
"Kneel."
But just then, Di Juetian spoke.
A vast, terrifying pressure descended.
Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed drastically.
She tried to resist, but couldn't.
She fell to her knees.
The others' expressions changed drastically.
"Young Master, you..."
"You don't understand men. When men fight, they don't allow women to interfere. Besides, this is their grievance."
"If you don't want that Xiao Yu to hate you, just watch quietly."
Di Juetian spoke.
When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, her eyes were initially filled with anger.
But after hearing Di Juetian's words, she came to her senses.
That's right. Xiao Yu has always been a proud man.
"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master."
Di Juetian nodded.
Then he withdrew his pressure.
Stabbing a Child of Fortune is so satisfying. I can't let a boring person like you interrupt it!
