Tianhe Marketplace's Ascension Ceremony had already been in full swing for several days. During this time, many prodigies had emerged, giving quite a few rogue cultivators watching the matches a thoroughly satisfying spectacle.
Among them, Shi Nantian and Jiuxiao were undoubtedly the most eye-catching. The former was a prodigious descendant of a cultivation aristocratic family, while the latter had risen from an obscure rogue cultivator.
Though the two came from different backgrounds, they shared many things in common—for instance, formidable strength, extraordinary looks, and outstanding bearing!
Whenever either of them took the stage, the female cultivators below would have a strange light bloom in their eyes. Though they did not cry out loudly, it was obvious they had already fallen for them.
"Shi Nantian's methods are a little too ruthless. So long as his opponents refuse to surrender, he cuts them until their bones break and tendons snap!"
"Sigh, though blades and swords have no eyes in arena duels, and life and death rest with fate, such cold-blooded methods truly make one's heart tremble."
"Exactly. Yet even so, so many female cultivators are smitten with him. Even Fairy Heyue of Spirit Phoenix Tower regards him differently!"
"That really is the case. Could Fairy Heyue be planning to take Shi Nantian as her guest beneath the curtain?"
"."
As many rogue cultivators below discussed the matter, their gazes intentionally or unintentionally drifted toward an independent viewing platform not far away.
There sat a woman with her hair pinned up, her temperament gentle and soft. She wore a lotus-green gown and sat upon the platform with a delicate, pitiable bearing.
A veil covered her face, revealing only brows and eyes as picturesque as poetry and painting. A single glance was enough to make one feel the urge to bow at her feet.
