Princess Linglong, He Was Too Handsome

Daoist Rhyme filled the air as sharp, golden Sword Qi hurtled toward Lan Yu!

This strike already possessed the might of nascent soul perfection!

When Lan Yu had first been summoned, she had been at the nascent soul early stage, but now she was at the nascent soul late stage. With the enhancement of her supreme dao body, however, even a Void Insight cultivator could not hope to gain the slightest advantage over her. She threw a punch and blasted the Sword Qi apart!

A trace of surprise appeared in Fang Tian's eyes, followed by a burst of fighting spirit. He said coldly, "Good. It seems I underestimated you. Then I'll defeat you first, and your master afterward!"

"You won't get that chance." Without another word, Lan Yu summoned the Staff of Light. With the Sage Artifact's enhancement, her aura soared once more.

She threw a punch, unleashing a vast surge of light's might. Even a prodigious Daoist disciple like Fang Tian was blasted back several yards by it.

Many of the surrounding cultivators were astonished.

"This woman is actually strong enough to suppress Fang Tian?"

"Fang Tian is in the Void Insight realm! Even the former Qingyun Crown Prince, Gu Changge, might not have been able to suppress him, yet this woman can. Just who is she?"

"When did the Featherfolk produce such a Heavenly Pride? And she's even willing to serve as Chu Kuangren's follower. It's simply inconceivable."

Everyone was astonished by Lan Yu's strength, but they grew even more curious about Chu Kuangren.

If even a follower was this powerful, what about Chu Kuangren himself?

"Five Elements, Li Fire Art!" Fang Tian formed profound hand seals. Daoist Rhyme flowed around him, and crimson flames surged forth.

Lan Yu neither dodged nor evaded. She threw a punch, and the might of light forcibly blasted the skyful of flames apart. Her bearing as a Goddess of War shook everyone present.

"Five Elements, Yi Wood Art!"

Fang Tian's expression grew increasingly grave. The Daoist Rhyme around him thickened, and spiritual power circulated within him as he unleashed his full strength.

Countless vines condensed from spiritual power suddenly appeared around Lan Yu, binding her in an instant.

"Five Elements, Geng Metal Art!" Seizing the opportunity, Fang Tian unleashed another supreme Five Elements technique, sending several sharp streams of Sword Qi slashing out.

"Hmph." Lan Yu snorted softly, and spiritual power erupted within her. With a flap of her pure-white wings, countless blades of spiritual qi spun out, slicing apart every vine wrapped around her. Then she threw a punch.

The fist of light blasted all the Sword Qi apart.

"With only this much ability, you want to challenge my young master? What a fool's dream!" Lan Yu sneered.

Lan Yu's words sent Fang Tian into a fury. "A mere maid dares to be so arrogant? Let me show you what the Dao of the Five Elements is!"

Daoist Rhyme flowed around Fang Tian as an immensely terrifying aura emerged. Five-colored light gradually began to flicker over his body.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The five lights flickered in Fang Tian's palm, forming a boundless force that even shook space itself.

"Sage Law, Five Elements Great Capture!" Fang Tian thrust out his palm in a sudden grasp, and the five lights converged into a gigantic multicolored hand.

This strike was a Sage Law, and it was exceedingly terrifying.

Even cultivators who were also in the Void Insight realm would be easily defeated by it.

A grave look appeared in Lan Yu's eyes. Then a beam of white light shot skyward from her body. She spread her wings as vast Daoist Rhyme filled the air, and runes of the Great Dao flickered around her, making her look incomparably sacred.

Everyone was shaken by the sight.

They actually felt an urge to prostrate themselves before Lan Yu in worship!

The pupils of some powerful cultivators abruptly contracted in disbelief.

"That's a Dao Body Phenomenon... ten thousand rays of light!"

"The legendary supreme dao body, the sacred light body!"

"She has a supreme dao body too!"

Every powerful cultivator who recognized the sacred light body was shocked. Such a constitution had not appeared for many years.

Like Chu Kuangren's nine-orifice exquisite sword heart, it was a supreme dao body with the terrifying potential to strive for the Emperor Realm.

With the Phenomena of Ten Thousand Rays of Light manifested and enhancing her, Lan Yu activated the Staff of Light again, condensing a spear before her. Runes flowed across it, and terrifying Light Daoist Rhyme gathered within.

Boom!

The spear tore through the air, its sonic boom thundering through the void!

This strike was incomparably powerful.

It slammed into the five-colored hand, and the shock waves unleashed by the two forces battered the void wildly. The surrounding buildings began to sway.

Lan Yu stood where she was, light flowing around her, incomparably sacred.

Opposite her, Fang Tian's expression was far less pleasant, dark as still water. He had never expected that even his strongest strike would fail to defeat Lan Yu.

If he could not even beat a maid, how could he contend with Chu Kuangren?

At the thought, frustration lodged in Fang Tian's chest.

"Here beneath the emperor's feet, who gave you permission to brawl?"

Just then, a dignified female voice sounded from the sky.

A carriage drawn by six divine steeds flew through the sky, and a terrifying pressure descended forcefully.

The surrounding cultivators hurriedly knelt. "Greetings, Princess Linglong!"

Only Daoist disciples of Saintly Dao Traditions like Chu Kuangren and Fang Tian could remain standing. Their status was enough to place them on equal footing with Princess Linglong.

"Princess Linglong has appeared."

"To think we'd get to see her so soon."

"I wonder whether she's truly as beautiful as the rumors say."

The Heavenly Prides exchanged glances.

Fang Tian and Lan Yu also ceased fighting.

"You are all outstanding talents of this generation. Brawling with one another in public-what sort of conduct is this?" Princess Linglong demanded again.

"You're right, Princess."

Lin Batian, Huayun, and the others replied.

This was the Qingyun Dynasty's territory, and the person before them was the princess who would choose a husband through a Tournament to Find a Spouse. They had to show her this much respect.

"Very well. Considering that you have only just arrived and do not understand the royal capital's rules, we will let this matter rest. Tonight, I will host a banquet at Thousand-Island Lake and invite all the Heavenly Prides. Please do me the honor of attending," Princess Linglong said.

"With your invitation, Princess, we will certainly attend."

The Heavenly Prides smiled as they spoke.

"Senior Brother of the Profound Heaven Sect, I'll be waiting for you at Thousand-Island Lake."

Just then, Princess Linglong spoke again.

Chu Kuangren froze for a moment.

Why single me out? Are we acquainted?

As Princess Linglong's words fell, everyone present turned their gazes toward Chu Kuangren in unison, filled with indescribable envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Fang Tian, in particular, looked as though he wanted to devour someone.

With so many Heavenly Prides present, Princess Linglong had mentioned no one else, only Chu Kuangren. What did that mean?

It meant that Chu Kuangren held an unusual place in Princess Linglong's heart!

Without anyone noticing, Chu Kuangren had already taken a huge lead in this contest for her hand.

Some of them were stunned.

Princess, you can't crush us like this.

You're throwing us off our game.

"Princess, he's Chu Kuangren, the one who severely injured the Qingyun Crown Prince," someone beside her reminded her.

"Yes, I know," Princess Linglong said calmly.

"Well, didn't you declare back then that you would show him no mercy if you met him?" Someone recalled the declarations the various Heavenly Prides had made back then.

Princess Linglong had been among them.

"I remember. It's just that I hadn't expected the Senior Brother of the Profound Heaven Sect to be so... handsome."

Princess Linglong paused, seemingly a little shy.

Everyone's composure crumbled again.

We never expected you to be this kind of Princess Linglong.

Damn it, does being good-looking make you so special?

Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren, and some gritted their teeth in anger.

The Tournament to Find a Spouse had clearly not even begun, yet they felt as though they had already lost.

Chu Kuangren was stunned too. Princess, we barely know each other. Is it really all right for you to set me up like this?
