Then I'll Pick It for You

Achieving ten wins already places you among the top players in your realm.

After all, the Heavenly Prodigy who can come here are all Prodigy from various Aristocratic Clan, and they are all capable of taking on a thousand opponents of the same realm outside.

Before the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus bloomed, the competition for the Divine Spring Golden Osmanthus was exceptionally fierce. Even Su Qiyu and his group had to go all out. Judging from Su Wanqing's tone, it seemed as if this young man could win easily.

Su Wanxue looked at Li Hao, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She also wanted to see how strong this young man was in actual combat, aside from his Heavenly Talent.

Sensing the gazes of the Su Clan members, Li Hao looked at Su Muqing. The girl had a cold expression and sat quietly, like a snow lotus illuminated by the Mingyue. Her black hair fluttered and exuded a fragrance. She gazed at the distant Sword Pool, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, the other person did not speak, nor did they show any disgust on their face. Their stunningly beautiful face was serene and serene, as if their broken face was healing and slowly overlapping before their eyes.

No, thank you.

Li Hao shook his head, his gaze never leaving the girl, feeling that it was good enough for time to flow by quietly like this.

He came to the Northern Region not to seek fame, but to accompany her as she Awakening.

Hearing Li Hao's refusal, Su Wanqing was stunned. Li Hao's ability to keep up with her and Su Muqing's speed earlier showed that his Movement Method was extremely strong. Just that Movement Method and speed alone would make him invincible at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm. Even if his attacks were weak, he could still drag the fight to a draw.

But how could Li Hao just give up such a rare opportunity to make a name for himself?

"Um?"

Su Wanxue frowned, clearly not expecting Li Hao to give up this opportunity.

You should know that becoming famous here will quickly spread throughout the entire Gusu Emperor Star, a rare opportunity.

Su Qiyu's eyes also showed doubt. Prodigy with a hundred years of Soul Lifespan, why should he be afraid of fighting, unless he came up with drugs and was just a show-off.

"Snort!"

Su Muqing suddenly snorted coldly, turned to look at Li Hao, and her eyes revealed contempt.

"A true Heavenly Prodigy possesses the will to soar like an eagle and swim like a fish in shallow water, not someone like you who doesn't even have the ambition to be the best among those of the same realm."

Li Hao stared at her for a moment and said, "If I had, would you let me stay with you for another ten years?"

"Impossible! Don't even think about it!"

Su Muqing's expression changed instantly, her eyes filled with coldness. "Don't tell me it's just a thought. Even if you were truly invincible in your realm, I wouldn't even glance at you. Just give up."

"Since that's the case, why say any more?"

Li Hao said indifferently.

Su Muqing was so angry she choked. She gritted her teeth, turned her head, and ignored Li Hao.

Su Qiyu frowned slightly and said, "Young brother, Sister Muqing is right. As a young man, one should aspire to travel far and wide. If you don't even have the courage to suppress those of the same realm, how can you expect Sister Muqing to look at you differently?"

"My ambition lies in all directions..." Li Hao shook his head slightly, a hint of Years in his eyes. "To draw one's sword in the martial world and wait for fame and fortune, only to find oneself old and frail. If someone likes you because of your Merit and Fame, is it you they like, or the Merit and Fame themselves?"

Su Qiyu was slightly taken aback, then frowned and pondered, "But if you don't show your brilliance, how can you attract others?"

What kind of light qualifies as light?

Li Hao countered, "Is it the light that shines alone atop the mountain, or the light that accompanies you through thick and thin, sharing your joys and sorrows?"

In the desperate situation of the Southern Region, before the Supreme power, even though he had condensed the Dao Source Immortal Seal, it lost all its brilliance and became dim and lusterless. However, the figure that had traveled through the Years still faced death.

What kind of light is the other party seeking?

Su Qiyu raised an eyebrow, too lazy to discuss these matters with Li Hao any further. He only wanted to see Li Hao make a move, but that was clearly going to be in vain.

"Brother Qiyu, don't waste your breath on this coward. Even if he goes on stage, I won't give him a second glance."

Su Muqing said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Su Qiyu had no choice but to give up regretfully.

Seeing the atmosphere turn cold, Su Wanqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly and didn't try to persuade her any further.

Beside her, Su Wanxue glanced at the boy's shoulder, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

As the Heavenly Prodigy on the Battle Stage continued their fierce fight, time passed. When a Heavenly Prodigy a noble Aristocratic Clan at the Sixth Layer of Immortal Lord Realm stepped onto the stage, Su Muqing suddenly stood up and said:

"It stinks here, I'm going to get some fresh air."

As he spoke, his figure blurred, and he leaped onto the Battle Stage.

The Heir on the Battle Stage was still surveying his surroundings, selecting his opponents, when he suddenly saw Su Muqing Descent onto the Battle Stage. He was stunned for a moment, then his hair stood on end and his expression changed drastically.

That stunningly beautiful young woman was like a raging flood in his eyes, as if he were sharing a cage with a ferocious beast.

"Miss Muqing, what's going on?"

The Heir was startled and forced a smile.

The audience fell silent instantly, followed by an uproar as everyone was taken aback.

In previous years, True Phoenix was always the last to perform, but this time she took the stage before the other Four Little Phoenixes, Lin Jinrou, Jiang Huanhuan, and others could even go on stage.

"Stop talking nonsense, take this sword strike!"

Su Muqing was seething with anger. She said she would draw her sword, but in reality, she didn't. No one in the same realm could make her actually draw her sword!

With a slender, white hand like two fingers joined together, she raised her hand and drew a Sword Qi Void in the air. Instantly, the Void split open, as if time itself had been severed, and the sword aura slashed towards the young Heir along the silent path of time.

That silent trajectory of time is Time Stop; there is no time or space. This also means that her Swordsmanship will hit her instantly, with no way to dodge!

Bang!

Before the young Heir could react, the immortal Immortal Gang that had just erupted from his body suddenly shattered. The surging Immortal Power was crushed by a sharp aura, and his body flew backward, crashing heavily into the Sealing Array Barrier.

The bloodstains spread from his forehead to his chest, showing no signs of healing and instead growing larger.

The young Heir hurriedly scrambled to his feet, but his injuries only worsened. The Sword Qi at the crack seemed to devour his Divine Blood like a venomous snake, relentlessly destroying his Immortal Body. He quickly said:

"Muqing, please show mercy! I concede!"

Su Muqing snorted coldly, raised her hand and waved it away, dispersing the Sword Qi on his body.

The young Heir thanked him profusely, and the moment the Sealing Array Barrier opened, he rushed out and fled as if escaping.

"This is outrageous! The young master of the Kong family was defeated in a single move!"

"This wasn't even a proper attack. He had at least five wins before, qualifying him for the Flowing Frost Silver Osmanthus. This Su Clan's True Phoenix truly lives up to his reputation!"

"It's probably no exaggeration to say that she's invincible within her realm. This once-in-a-millennium Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus is truly worthy of her."

After the initial shock, everyone discussed the matter animatedly. Although surprised by the outcome, they were able to accept it.

"Isn't she usually the last to perform? Why is she going on stage now? Is she so eager to secure a spot?"

"There are six 'Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus' blossoms, more than enough. Su Muqing Peerless in the Same Realm, but the others may not be. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle between them!"

All eyes turned to Su Wanqing and the others, their eyes revealing anticipation for a good show.

Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue frowned slightly. If it were just a matter of winning ten games, it would be easy for them. But the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus requires being invincible in the same realm, which means that if their realms collide, they must decide who is superior!

"Who else? Come up here now, let me finish my round!"

At this moment, Su Muqing on the Battle Stage said impatiently.

Below the stage, the numerous Sixth Layer of Immortal Lord Realm, seated on their Meditation Cushion, exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions shifting.

After a brief silence, someone finally stood up and leaped onto the stage.

"Then let me experience Muqing's abilities firsthand. I've long admired your name, and it's a rare opportunity to witness it today..."

Before she could finish speaking, a Sword Qi had already condensed, hovering at the girl's fingertips without being released.

"I'll give you a chance to make a move," Su Muqing said.

His voice was cold and his words were extremely arrogant. The young man's face immediately turned ugly. Without saying a word, he took a deep breath, his eyes revealing hidden Anger, and suddenly drew his sword.

Bang!

His Immortal Seal was revealed, and it was none other than the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal. The Immortal Dao Laws around him were locked, and a Sword Qi aura resonated with the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form behind him, slashing out together.

But the immense momentum that surged forth in an instant vanished in the blink of an eye.

A Sword Qi, as fine as silk threads, contained the power to distort time, and struck directly at the moment the opponent stepped onto the stage.

It was said that she was letting the other party make a move, but when Su Muqing used her Swordsmanship, it was as if the other party was just standing there and obediently taking a beating.

Bang!

The figure was cleaved like a tattered rag and sent flying.

Two wins!

The entire arena fell silent as everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Most of them hadn't even seen how the man had been defeated. His Sword Move was so powerful, yet it seemed like a mirage; he hadn't even had a chance to clash with Su Muqing.

"What terrifying time Mastery!"

Someone's expression turned serious, and they spoke in Whispers.

Su Qiyu's eyes shone with pride; even he was wary of his younger sister's Mastery the Time Origin.

Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue, however, remained calm, having long been aware of Su Muqing's strength.

Jiang Huanhuan and Lin Jinrou looked solemn, and the other members of the Lin Clan and Jiang Family around them also looked wary.

The Su Clan's True Phoenix is indeed well-deserved.

"Again."

Su Muqing said indifferently, as if giving an order.

The area outside the Battle Stage grew increasingly quiet. After a long while, someone went up onto the platform again.

Bang!

The battle ended in the blink of an eye, unable to withstand a single move from Su Muqing.

Four wins, five wins... As Su Muqing's wins continued to accumulate, she soon reached twenty wins without a single loss.

Thus, she is considered invincible in her realm and has earned the qualification to pluck the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus.

Su Muqing's cold expression calmed down. After venting her anger in twenty consecutive matches, she had finally released her pent-up frustration and even obtained the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus. She was eager for the competition to end as soon as possible so she could pick the osmanthus herself.

As Su Muqing left and returned to the stage, a figure from the Jiang Family soared into the air and landed on the Battle Stage.

Who will take on the challenge?

This is another woman from the Jiang Family, whose relationship with Jiang Huanhuan is so-so. She felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing Su Muqing stealing the spotlight.

His cultivation level was at the Immortal Lord Realm Fifth Layer, and soon, people of the same realm came up to the stage.

This woman from the Jiang Family was ruthless; like Su Muqing, she aimed to defeat her enemy in one move, hence her extremely powerful strikes.

The first fighter was severely injured, his Primordial Spirit damaged; the second Immortal Body was shattered, requiring rare elixirs to repair.

The other participants also became more aggressive. The Sword Pool Victory was originally a gathering of Heavenly Prodigy and Prodigy from various Aristocratic Clan, where they would stop short of truly engaging in life-or-death battles. However, their fight with the woman from the Jiang Family seemed to have turned into a life-or-death struggle.

Despite this, the women of the Jiang Family still managed to win one victory after another.

However, her moves to defeat her enemy in one strike became increasingly ruthless and powerful, clearly lacking the effortless composure of Su Muqing.

Seeing that her opponent had won ten consecutive matches, Su Wanqing decided not to wait any longer and made her move.

Both being at the Immortal Lord Realm Fifth Layer, the opponent had ten victories and was already qualified to win the Divine Spring Golden Osmanthus. As for the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus, she was unwilling to give it up so easily.

Seeing Su Wanqing make her move, many of the noble families who had been defeated by the Jiang Family woman immediately cheered for Su Wanqing.

"I'm definitely getting this 'Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus'!"

The woman from the Jiang Family said coldly.

Su Wanqing said calmly, "Let's see how you Cultivation Method."

"Snort!"

The woman from the Jiang Family snorted coldly, but her eyes became serious. She naturally did not intend to defeat one of the Four Little Phoenixes of the Su Clan with a single move. Although the other party was not as good as Su Muqing, she was still a top Prodigy of the Su Clan and a top Prodigy of Gusu Emperor Star.

As the Sealing Array Barrier closed, a fierce battle erupted between the two sides.

The two swords rang out like dragons, violently shaking the arena. A terrifying wave of Sword Intent surged forth, causing many Heavenly Prodigy to change color.

"So strong!"

"I've long heard that Su Wanqing cultivates the Nether God Sword Dao. I've heard that once you touch her Sword Qi, it's incurable and extremely terrifying!"

"This is High Antiquity forbidden Swordsmanship, extremely difficult to cultivate. Unless Jiang Yingtong can finish the battle quickly and use her Destruction Eye Technique, she will likely be defeated!"

Both Su Wanqing and Jiang Yingtong Heavenly Prodigy. Their competition has clearly escalated to a higher level. They freely unleash top-tier Immortal Arts, their Immortal Power surging. All of them possess the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, and are even the Nine Sequences Nine Flowers!

In the midst of a fierce battle, Jiang Yingtong suddenly unleashed her Destruction Eye, but Su Wanqing was prepared and unleashed a blood-red Sword Light, stained with some kind of terrifying overflowing Blood Qi.

Smelling the blood, Li Hao, who had been staring at Su Muqing in a daze, also came to his senses, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up.

Bang!

A crimson Sword Qi suddenly flashed past, and Jiang Yingtong abruptly covered her face, screaming, "My eyes!"

Blood seeped from the Destruction Eye on her forehead, seeping from between her fingers, a truly horrifying sight.

Whoosh!

The Sword Light, carrying a chilling Jiang Yingtong's throat as she was injured.

Jiang Yingtong covered her forehead with both hands, her face covered in blood, and looked at Su Wanqing with hatred and anger, saying:

"Untie me now!"

Su Wanqing glanced at her, raised her hand and waved it. A crimson light, containing a strong fishy smell, retracted from her forehead and flew back into Su Wanqing's body.

You lost.

Su Wanqing said calmly.

Jiang Yingtong was furious. She glared at her fiercely, then turned around and teleported away, leaving the Battle Stage.

"Well done Wanqing!"

Su Qiyu and the others immediately cheered for Su Wanqing, their faces beaming with smiles.

Su Wanxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wanqing's Nether Blood Physique has strengthened again!"

Su Muqing's expression was indifferent, but her gaze suddenly turned to Li Hao beside her. Seeing him looking at Su Wanqing thoughtfully, a cold smile appeared on her lips, along with a hint of barely perceptible Anger.

"Now you know you regret it? Your father gave you the chance to choose, but you insisted on pestering him. Marrying Wanqing was already a blessing you'd ask for in a million years, and you still refused? It's ridiculous!"

Su Wanxue was taken aback, then remembered that day in the main hall when her father had summoned them to choose a young man for her.

If this young man hadn't been so determined to win over the Su Clan's True Phoenix, and given the choice between her and her sister Su Wanqing, his father would probably have agreed on the spot.

Thinking of this, Su Wanxue felt a chill of fear. Suddenly, she realized that the way the boy was staring at Su Muqing so blankly wasn't so irritating after all; in fact, it was rather endearing.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze, glanced at Su Muqing, and said nothing.

The bloody scent that Su Wanqing had just emitted felt somewhat familiar to Li Hao; it seemed to contain the scent of Ancient Demon Qi and Blood.

But without a doubt, the other party could not be Ancient Demon in disguise. Otherwise, if the Su Clan could not even detect the Ancient Demon right under their noses, they would not have been able to stand in the Northern Region for 100,000 years.

"Could he be Half-Human, Half-Demon?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered, and this thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the Battle Stage fell silent. Many people cheered for Su Wanqing, but no one went up on stage for a while.

Having defeated even Jiang Yingtong, there are very few people left who can rival Su Wanqing.

Others joining the fray would only add to her achievements, but although Su Wanqing was gentle and charming, her Nether Blood Physique made her attacks extremely terrifying, easily causing severe injuries that were difficult to heal.

During the long wait, several more people, each with their own ideas, went up on stage to challenge her, but they were all defeated by Su Wanqing's sword in one move.

While waiting for no one to accept the challenge, Lin Jinrou suddenly stood up from the Lin Clan's side.

She is also at the Immortal Lord Realm Fifth Layer. If Su Wanqing wins the undefeated qualification, then the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus will no longer be hers.

"It seems that in the end, it will be a contest between the two of us."

Lin Jinrou stepped onto the stage and spoke with a smile.

Su Wanqing had anticipated that she would go on stage, after all, everyone was vying for the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus.

"It's been a long time since Sparring. The last time we competed was at the Northern Region Summit."

Su Wanqing said in a sweet and Wenrou voice.

Lin Jinrou nodded with a smile, "Yes, it's been about a hundred years. We couldn't decide a winner that time, so let's see who comes next."

The two exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

As the Sealing Array Barrier was activated, the two quickly unleashed their Sword Intent, revealing their Extreme Realm Power. Both were Nine Flowers Nine Sequences Immortal Seal. In the blink of an eye, a surging storm of immortal Immortal Power swept across the Battle Stage, with terrifying Sword Qi piercing through.

As top Heavenly Prodigy of the Northern Region's Human Race, both of them were qualified to become disciples of the Emperor Lord, making them virtually invincible among their peers.

Unfortunately, three or four such invincible beings Descent in the same era. Only by defeating the other invincible ones can one become truly invincible!

As the exchange between the two intensified, the murmurs from the audience died down; everyone held their breath and stared intently, afraid of missing a single moment.

Bang!

On the Battle Stage, a burst of Immortal Power suddenly turned crimson red. Su Wanqing activated her Nether Blood Body, indicating that she had used her True Power.

Lin Jinrou was enveloped in a seven-colored light that transformed into countless ribbons, making her resemble Nine-Heavens Goddess, and she managed to block the crimson Immortal Power.

The battle between the two intensified, and the Sealing Array Barrier on the Battle Stage trembled continuously, as if it were about to break.

As the Immortal King Tan gazed upon this scene from high above, his expression grew solemn, yet his eyes shone with joy. It was a blessing for the Northern Region's Human Race to have such Heavenly Prodigy.

Bang!

Suddenly, a burst of seven-colored light exploded, scattering the Blood Qi within the Battle Stage. Lin Jinrou's figure flickered, like a ghostly phantom, her Sword Light darting through the air, and pressed against Su Wanqing's brow.

Su Wanqing's expression hardened slightly, and she finally gave up on releasing her Immortal Power, saying bitterly, "I lost."

"I'm sorry, a few days ago, my Mystic Meridian merged into my Dao Meridian, marking a new stage in my life."

Lin Jinrou smiled and spoke softly, then sheathed her sword.

This Mystic Meridian was not controlled by the Immortal Lord, but rather it was a unique cultivation method accompanying her special physique.

Su Wanqing smiled wryly and said, "Then congratulations."

Having said that, he sheathed his sword, turned, and flew off the Battle Stage.

If she continues the fight, she may not necessarily lose, but that would require her to use her Ultimate trump card, the Nether Blood Body, which, once used, is irreversible.

It's clearly not worth using such a forbidden power that can reverse life and death for a mere Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus.

But... the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus was destined to remain forever out of reach for her.

She sat down on the Meditation Cushion next to Li Hao, looked up at the purple of the highest branch on the peak behind the Sword Pool, her eyes filled with regret.

Li Hao noticed the girl's gaze, seeing the regret and reluctance in her eyes, as if she had lost a beloved possession. His expression shifted slightly, and he whispered:

Do you really like that thing?

Looking at the waterfall rushing past the Immortal Charm Purple Osmanthus, Su Wanqing said, "Of course I like it; no woman wouldn't."

Li Hao gazed at her for a moment, then said in a low voice, "If you True Heart like it, then I'll pick it for you."
