New Chapter: A Bump to Youth's Waist
Zhou Xuan felt somewhat disappointed. He had been challenging others in the neighboring star field and had no rivals left in the True Immortal Domain.
But here, his white robes were stained with blood, his heroic spirit dimmed, and his body severely injured. Although he hadn't lost, his winning streak had been ended.
In particular, when he looked across the street, his expression changed, and he was unable to calm down at all.
Lu Wufa was covered in blood, his immortal armor shattered. After returning, he bowed again, clearly having already regarded Wang Xuan as a half-master, which shocked many people.
"Lu Renjia is only a True Immortal, yet Lu Wufa respects him so much. It's awe-inspiring to think about. Just how strong is this person?"
This reflects the sentiments of many, prompting a reassessment of his abilities. Although he wasn't the one who personally participated, his performance garnered even more attention.
At first, some people didn't take it seriously, but now they're all serious. Just how profound is his cultivation? Is he even a true immortal? They feel he can rival celestial beings.
The rising New Star, Zhou Xuan in white, fell silent. He had originally come for Lu Renjia, but the Lu Wufa stop him.
"Isn't that Zhou Xuan, the supreme immortal?" A newly arrived Supernatural Practitioner exclaimed in surprise, having just entered the Golden Book and Jade Scroll battlefield.
They saw Zhou Xuan covered in bloodstains in the center of the room and found it hard to believe.
The battlefield, formed by countless stars Golden Book and Jade Scroll, floats in the deep sky, appearing hazy in the distance.
People continued to arrive along the star path, and most of them came from the Anomalous Being ethnic groups, which was not just a simple matter of some people calling their friends.
"I heard something terrible happened in the Mysterious Sea. The noble lady of the Zhuo family eloped with someone and is pregnant. Is that true?"
Sure enough, the score on the plain was perfect!
The newly arrived Supernatural Practitioner immediately asked the people nearby, who all seemed to have come specifically to join in the fun.
Among them, some were emotional and pained, feeling that their Celestial Maiden had fallen; others were indifferent, watching coldly; still others smiled, clearly watching the show.
Some were filled with murderous intent, while others remained aloof and indifferent. All of them came from the Star Path, resulting in two to three times more people on the battlefield of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll than before.
Zhuo Feifan broke out in a cold sweat. How could the rumors be getting more and more unbelievable? He felt very insecure because he was standing right next to the seemingly innocent and charming "tiger mom." He was afraid of suffering another undeserved disaster and being beaten up!
Normally, Zhuo Yanran's face is as beautiful as an elf, but now her expression is frozen, and she almost turned evil and rushed over to kill them all. Who is spreading rumors about her?
She strongly suspects that one of her "best friends" is smearing her, otherwise how could such an outrageous thing happen? She swears this matter is not over.
"Look, Fairy Zhuo's complexion is not good, and her body is trembling slightly. Is she injured?"
Some people looked over and started talking in hushed tones.
"She's having morning sickness, that's normal, just pregnancy symptoms. Looks like she's being forced into an arranged marriage. I wonder who the father is? I really want to beat him to death, that lucky bastard!"
Zhuo Feifan trembled and silently backed away from his cousin.
"Shut up!" Zhuo Yanran could no longer bear it. She raised her snow-white right hand slightly, and the Imperial Daoized texture appeared faintly. She really wanted to strike out with her palm.
Unfortunately, the Golden Book and Jade Scroll on the battlefield issued her a stern warning: she must not use force or attack others without authorization.
"Everyone, stop talking. It's not what you think," Black Crane said, helping to dispel the rumors.
The enormous Golden Great Peng Bird, as large as a mountain, and Xuan Tian, whose White Turtle was dripping with blood, both stepped forward and told them not to speak nonsense.
"Anyone else want to spar? If not, let's call it a day," Wang Xuan said, having roughly assessed the cultivation level of the descendant of the supernatural being.
Of course, we haven't seen the closest disciples and children of the extraordinary person yet. If they exist, they must be thousands of years old, or even tens of thousands of years old.
Wang Xuan didn't want to continue fighting at the True Immortal level. He was considering whether to exchange blows with a Celestial-level creature. He knew it was not easy to deal with, after all, some of them had reached the Dao-imperialized. Should he start from the "Celestial One" level?
The newly arrived Supernatural Practitioner finally figured out some of the situation and were all shocked. This was just a true immortal, yet he was facing a whole group of descendants of superhumans.
In particular, they were all unsettled when they learned that Lu Wufa perform the disciple's rites for him.
Furthermore, Zhou Xuan stood there looking somewhat forlorn, making the group of people unable to believe their ears after learning the situation.
Recently, everyone knows that Zhou Xuan's rise is unstoppable. He has swept across the immortals of the Ink Blue Starfield and has never been defeated. Mentioning his name will make everyone admire and be shocked.
However, he was blocked by Lu Renjia's disciple before he could get close to him, which made many people lose their minds.
"How about we go and spar with him? Otherwise, it would be a shame to make such a big fuss only to end up with a weak performance against a complete novice."
The roc, Black Crane, and the others discussed that since they had already made various pronouncements, if no one took the stage in the end, they could have a void duel on the Golden Book and Jade Scroll battlefield.
However, they knew very well that Lu Renjia was too troublesome, and even they, after returning to the True Immortal Domain, probably wouldn't be able to subdue him at all.
"Fight for a few rounds, then retreat," said the Golden-winged Great Peng. According to him, it was enough to just go through the motions, so that both sides would save face, and then they would leave the field safely and orderly.
Of course, they didn't tell Zhuo Yanran that they knew their friend was so angry she felt suffocated and was about to intervene herself, but they had Ye Lin stop her.
"I, Jin Yu, will spar with you." The enormous, mountain-like Golden-winged Great Peng stepped onto the stage and introduced itself.
"Sure, no problem." Wang Xuan readily agreed. The descendants of Anomalous Beings, a powerful figure among the Heavenly Grade Beings, being suppressed back to the True Immortal state by the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, is still worth looking forward to.
Lu Wufa move forward, he wanted to fight, but Wang Xuan stopped him, telling him to rest and recover from his injuries and not bleed any more.
"Brother Jin Yu has personally taken to the field. He is a renowned Heavenly Grade Expert who has re-tempered his Immortal Body. His strength should be at least five times that of Qingya, and as for the upper limit, there is no cap yet; it may be the absolute maximum." Zhuo Feifan commented, looking forward to it.
The crow immediately glared angrily!
Billions of golden rays burst forth, the Great Peng Spreads Wings and shook the heavens, soaring straight up, then unleashed a barrage of swords, like countless meteors crashing down, threatening to shatter the earth!
However, Wang Xuan blocked his way. He did not retreat. Covered in starlight, his arms burst forth with sword energy, even more domineering than Jin Yu's, and he charged forward to meet the attack head-on.
In an instant, a man and a golden Divine Bird became entangled in a fierce battle, and then blood-stained roc feathers fell down, moving many people.
"Wait a minute, brother, let's talk this over. As they say, 'no fight, no friendship,' so let's call it even. I'll treat you to a drink later. Since today's misunderstanding was cleared up, this sparring is just a formality. Let's call it a day."
Jin Yu secretly transmitted his voice, sensing that the opponent was too fierce and that he couldn't withstand him at the True Immortal realm. He was already covered in blood.
Wang Xuan's expression turned strange. Did this ferocious roc want him to go easy on it? What was going on today? The powerful figures he encountered all looked like fierce demons, but none of them wanted to fight to the death; they were all very cautious.
"Warning: This is a fair fight. Fake fights will be severely punished!" The Golden Book and Jade Scroll revived once more, solemnly reminding the two people in the arena.
"I..." Jin Yu was dumbfounded.
Wang Xuan said it was nothing, his expression calm. Having experienced the Xuan Tian incident, he was already experienced.
Puff!
In the end, the Golden-winged Great Peng, its feathers stained with blood, staggered and fell to the ground, retreating in defeat. That damned Golden Book and Jade Scroll made it impossible for him to bribe his opponent.
"Brother Jin, your acting was excellent, just like a real fight," Black Crane commented, expressing his approval, before he also went offstage.
The Golden-winged Great Peng wanted to say, "What's the point of acting? There's no more real fight than this. I haven't been this tired in recent years."
He wanted to remind him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Good brothers should walk the same path and share both joy and sorrow.
"Wow, it's Black Crane! This person is extremely powerful and has a great reputation among many Heavenly Grade Being."
Everyone was watching; they all knew Black Crane was formidable, and every angler in the Mysterious Sea knew him.
As expected, the battle was fierce. The Black Crane soared into the sky and then fought its way back to the ground. Its black wings carried the power of stars. After returning to its true immortal state, it was indeed a flawless immortal being.
But in the end, he too was stained with blood; feathers drifted down, stained with a poignant bloodstain.
In fact, Black Crane was cursing inwardly. That grandson of Golden-winged Great Peng didn't tell him the truth. He couldn't fake a fight here; he had already tried and been warned.
"Alright, you guys don't need to go on stage anymore. With Black Crane and my efforts, that's enough. Let's end it here for today," the Golden-winged Great Peng said to the people around him.
He was also afraid of incurring public wrath and couldn't let several acquaintances be harmed.
"What's going on? Weren't you supposed to have a few peaceful matches? Why are you and Black Crane fighting so hard?" someone asked.
"Was that a fake fight? I was really fighting." The Golden-winged Great Peng was dissatisfied, and then told them that he had been warned by the Golden Book and Jade Scroll Battlefield and almost sacrificed himself in a bloody battle.
Everyone was speechless. So you didn't tell Black Crane?
Of the people present, only Xuan Tian remained calm. He was the "pioneer," and these were all things he had already done before, but he would never say it; it had to be kept secret. He was the one who first wanted to fake a fight.
Black Crane was indeed very strong, and he had followed the path of Dao-imperialized, but he hesitated at the last moment and ultimately suffered a direct defeat without revealing the Imperial Daoized rune.
He had already assessed the situation and realized he was no match for the enemy. He didn't want to expose himself in this situation, so he went back with bloodstains on his hands.
"Even Black Crane, a famous figure among the Heavenly Grade Expert, was defeated. This is a bit outrageous. After advancing to the Heavenly Grade Domain, he reshaped his immortal body. Theoretically, he could erase many of his former weaknesses."
People were shocked; yet another celebrity had fallen!
"Dapeng, Jin Yu, don't play dead!" After returning, Black Crane immediately began to interrogate him.
However, the next moment, he fell silent. The surroundings became quiet, and he turned to look in the other direction.
Zhuo Yanran stepped down to personally confront Lu Renjia.
In fact, the surrounding area fell silent for a moment before bursts of exclamations erupted again.
Wang Xuan frowned. This woman who loved to cry seemed to be quite famous, even more so than Xuan Tian and Black Crane.
He could tell from the reactions of the crowd that Zhuo Yanran was very popular, and judging from the divine aura of rules flowing from her, her cultivation seemed to be extremely profound.
"When my cousin was at the True Immortal realm, she left her name in the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, which can be measured by 10 Azure Crows, surpassing the extreme number." Zhuo Feifan said, exchanging words with the people around him.
Many people echoed this sentiment, discussing it enthusiastically and expressing great anticipation. Zhuo Yanran's achievements in the past were indeed remarkable.
In the arena, Wang Xuan remained calm, showing neither joy Wu You. He didn't care who she was or how illustrious her past was; he would fight.
Besides, he had personally witnessed the woman crash headfirst into the suddenly appearing protective light barrier, and she collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest and covering her face, looking utterly disheveled.
Therefore, psychologically speaking, he wasn't afraid of this woman at all, and even wanted to laugh.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Zhuo Yanran took a step forward, her curves clearly visible beneath her black dress, revealing her excellent figure. However, her pure face was cold and aloof as she approached step by step.
The entire battlefield trembled slightly under her footsteps, and then Dao Ming was heard. She had made her move, allowing the Daoist aura of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll to resonate with her, and directly began to suppress her opponent.
At that moment, she saw Wang Xuan's barely suppressed smile, and her face immediately darkened. She had been bumped and deformed, and the other party had seen her disheveled state clearly. Was he mocking her?
On the battlefield, golden ripples expanded, attempting to lock Wang Xuan in place and strangle him, accompanied by a booming Daoist aura.
At the same time, Zhuo Yanran moved. Her fist was pure white. This girl was incredibly fierce. She brought lightning and endless runes of rules with her fist and punched towards Wang Xuan's head. It arrived in an instant.
With a bang, Wang Xuan shattered the ripples on the ground, and instead of dodging, he directly clashed with her head-on.
In the arena, the two were moving too fast, constantly appearing and disappearing, their illusions fading.
Wherever they appeared, black void rifts appeared everywhere, and they shattered one void after another.
This unconventional battle shocked everyone.
Thump!
Amidst the deafening explosion, the runes of the rules bloomed and vanished in patches, and the two appeared and disappeared like ghosts, almost disappearing from sight.
Even the expressions of Heavenly Grade Expert changed. At their level, even if they were still True Immortals, killing Heavenly Grade Expert would be no problem.
A flash of divine light shattered the void, and Zhuo Yanran vanished.
When she reappeared, she slammed down from above Wang Xuan's head, and dense fragments of immortal Dao erupted between the two once again, with Daoist energy surging and clashing fiercely.
Wang Xuan's expression was solemn. This was not an ordinary battle. He had used the Imperial Daoized texture. His opponent was eager to defeat him immediately and had no time to prepare. He came out with a powerful move right away.
With a deafening boom, the void shattered. This time, Zhuo Yanran's speed reached an unbelievable level. Fragments of time flowed by, as if she were traversing through time and space.
She exchanged another punch with Wang Xuan. The Imperial Dao Texture on her white fist were very clear, and the power was extremely terrifying. The continuous vibration caused the surrounding space to collapse.
"Huh?" Wang Xuan was startled.
Zhuo Yanran was incredibly aloof and beautiful. A pair of transparent butterfly wings had appeared behind her at some unknown time, weaving together a unique and dazzling pattern, and suddenly flapped towards him.
These are not wings that are naturally generated by any race; they are constructed from the textures of the Dao-imperialized.
This made Wang Xuan gasp in shock. Not only had the opponent's right arm Dao-imperialized, but there was also this otherworldly ability behind him!
At this moment, he had no choice. The innermost part of his skull glowed as he connected with his unique textures, which intertwined with his arms.
Previously, he had only used the Imperial Daoized texture he had cultivated by referencing other people's extraordinary bones and scriptures, but now it's different.
With a bang, he lunged forward, engaging in close combat. He blocked the opponent's fist imprint transformed into a Dao-imperialized weapon with one hand, while his other hand unleashed even more patterns and power, decisively meeting the transparent divine wings that were interwoven with Imperial Dao runes and were flapping.
They exchanged blows, neither of them backing down.
Finally, Zhuo Yanran appeared surprised. The divine wings behind her, interwoven with the Imperial Dao Texture, dimmed, and she quickly retreated.
However, Wang Xuan followed closely, staying close to her and not wanting to distance himself from her.
With a bang, Zhuo Yanran was struck in the waist, causing part of her Dao-imperialized Wings on one side to break apart and almost disappear. She was sent flying and then staggered backward.
At that moment, she clutched her slender waist, writhing in pain. If she were standing there alone, she would probably be in tears. But under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could only swallow her anger, rub her lower back repeatedly, and retreat a short distance.
"Zhuo Feifan, your cousin's eyes reddened for a moment, something's not good. Has she been seriously injured?" Qingya leaned closer.
Zhuo Feifan rebuked, "What do you know? It's just a minor bump on her waist. My cousin's True Immortal Domain is invincible, far surpassing 10 Green Crows. Just wait and see!"
It's the weekend, and as I've said before, I'll take a half-day break. Don't wait for Chapter 2.
