Ow, that hurts like hell.
Nan Qiuqiu, who had been blasted to the ground, immediately got back to her feet.
The pain shooting through her backside made her suck in a sharp breath.
But remembering her current surroundings, Nan Qiuqiu forced herself to hold it in.
What a bizarre soul skill?!
At the same time, Nan Qiuqiu's gaze toward Su Ming became filled with wariness.
Her martial soul's ever-victorious Annihilation Attribute had actually been effortlessly neutralized by him, leaving Nan Qiuqiu deeply shaken.
That kid Ming really has given me a huge surprise! Yu Xingtuo watched the scene with immense satisfaction.
He had not expected the effect of Su Ming's first soul skill to be far more powerful than what he had seen that day.
Although this would certainly make the Earth Dragon Sect wary, Yu Xingtuo did not care.
Even without a Title Douluo overseeing the Heavenly Dragon Sect, they had nothing to fear from the Earth Dragon Sect.
Besides, Su Ming was only a single exceptional case. As long as the Earth Dragon Sect was not stupid, they would never completely fall out with the Heavenly Dragon Sect over this.
As for Yu Tianlong, he was already dumbfounded. He had never expected Brother Ming to be this powerful.
Brother Ming is Brother Ming, after all. Let's see how the Earth Dragon Sect can keep acting so arrogantly! Without a doubt, after this battle, Yu Tianlong admired Su Ming even more.
Meanwhile, Nan Shuishui, the Earth Dragon Sect's sect master, praised him with a smile. "As expected of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's future. Now that I have seen him today, he truly lives up to the reputation."
The killing intent she had felt toward Su Ming just now had been an instinctive reaction born from her wariness after her sect's proud martial soul ability had been so easily dismantled.
Once she came to her senses, Nan Shuishui naturally knew what attitude she should take toward Su Ming, the future of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
However, his ability to neutralize the Annihilation Attribute was simply too monstrous for the Earth Dragon Sect.
Therefore, in Nan Shuishui's eyes as sect master, they needed to get Su Ming under their control as much as possible, thereby "resolving" this threat.
With that, Nan Shuishui came up with a plan and continued in a different tone.
"Sect Master Yu, I do not know why, but the more I look at this child, the more pleasing he becomes to my eyes."
"To be frank, when the two children were sparring just now, I felt that they were such a perfect match. Standing together, they looked like a golden boy and jade maiden."
At this point, Nan Shuishui finally revealed her true intentions. "Sect Master Yu, does Su Ming already have a marriage arrangement?"
"If not, why not take advantage of this auspicious day and arrange an engagement for the two children?"
"They are both still young, so they can slowly cultivate their feelings."
Once Nan Shuishui finished speaking, the other three people present were all stunned.
"Mother?!" Nan Qiuqiu cried out shyly.
Had they not said they were only coming to test him?
How had things suddenly developed into this?
Yet even as Nan Qiuqiu called out to her mother, she secretly watched Su Ming's reaction from the corner of her eye.
People of the Douluo Continent matured very early.
Eight-year-old Nan Qiuqiu naturally understood what an engagement—and everything behind it—meant.
Although Su Ming was two years younger than her, Nan Qiuqiu did not feel any resistance to being with him.
Because from Nan Qiuqiu's perspective, Su Ming was indeed utterly perfect.
First was his status. He was the future hope of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Those words carried tremendous weight.
Second was his appearance. Though Su Ming was only six, his looks and bearing already showed just how extraordinary he was.
Just now, when Nan Qiuqiu first saw Su Ming, she had already developed a certain degree of fondness for him.
Otherwise, she would not have repeatedly reminded Su Ming during their fight.
Last came his strength.
At six years old, he was already a sixteenth-level soul master, and he possessed incredible strength, able to defeat her with ease.
One had to know that the world of soul masters had always revered strength above all else.
When female soul masters chose their other half, they naturally hoped for someone powerful—someone stronger than themselves.
Therefore, in Nan Qiuqiu's eyes, Su Ming was the perfect marriage alliance candidate.
He had status, looks, and potential...
Qiuqiu really does take after me in this regard. Seeing her daughter's expression, Nan Shuishui felt deeply satisfied.
No one knew a daughter better than her mother. She could naturally tell that her daughter was not opposed to the matter at all, and was even somewhat expectant.
"No way!" Yu Tianlong said in shock.
That demoness was going to be with Brother Ming?
"This..." Yu Xingtuo did not know what to say for a moment.
How had the discussion suddenly turned to a marriage alliance?
But after considering Ming's circumstances, Yu Xingtuo relaxed.
He truly was an unparalleled prize.
A marriage alliance with the daughter of the Earth Dragon Sect's sect master would naturally be an excellent thing.
First, the relationship between the two sects would become more harmonious.
Their former friction and competition would decrease, while opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation would increase.
That would be good for both sects.
Second, after the marriage alliance.
Su Ming would also receive more resources for his cultivation.
And with the protection of both sects, his safety would be greatly enhanced...
But the premise of all this was whether Su Ming was willing.
"Sect Master Nan, Su Ming himself still has to agree to this matter."
"We adults can no longer make such decisions on his behalf."
After saying that, Yu Xingtuo looked toward Su Ming.
In his eyes, Su Ming was a clever child with strong opinions of his own.
He knew how to follow his own wishes when making decisions.
That was precisely why Yu Xingtuo would not presumptuously decide for him.
"Uh..." Su Ming did not know what to say.
The conversation had suddenly turned toward a marriage alliance. The Earth Dragon Sect really knew how to seize an opportunity.
A marriage alliance with Nan Qiuqiu?
How should he put it? It was indeed a very good choice.
After all, Nan Qiuqiu was beautiful, and her talent and background were both excellent. She was not some so-called decorative vase.
But if he directly entered a marriage alliance, Su Ming did not want to tie himself to this one rope for life.
After all, in this feudal society of Douluo II, it was commonplace for both powerful people and nobles to have multiple women by their sides.
Therefore, it would not be some outrageous act for Su Ming to have multiple women around him in the future. On the contrary, it would be perfectly normal.
Although I'm not a good person, agreeing to this outright would feel a little like fraud.
I should just tell the truth. This sort of thing is perfectly normal in this world anyway.
After thinking it over for a moment, Su Ming voiced his thoughts.
"Great-Granduncle, I want to carry on the family line, so I am afraid I will not have only one wife in the future."
Put simply, it meant: I want a harem!
