Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Cang Wu walked out in silence, hoping not to face Qin Ershi, even Jiang Chen would be more manageable. For them, Qin Ershi might be the most challenging to contend with.
Jiang Chen, having just advanced to the Great Master realm not long ago, might be somewhat easier to deal with, as his formidable talents might not fully manifest in battle strength.
However, when Cang Wu saw it was Lu Yuan he was to face, he couldn’t help but smile broadly. Anyone but Qin Ershi was manageable. Lu Yuan, he thought, could easily be defeated.
“If I were you, I’d just surrender!” Cang Wu, a man of extreme pride and even a bit of arrogance, or perhaps one who bullies the weak and fears the strong, would stay silent and endure in front of those stronger or of higher status than himself.
Like the White Tiger God Son, who is superior in every way, Cang Wu would only silently endure. But when facing someone inferior in status or strength, he would eagerly demean and show them off.
“Why should I surrender?” Lu Yuan, somewhat speechless, replied lightly, Among the five opponents, you’re the weakest. If I surrender to you, how could I face anyone in the Nine Heavens Realm again? What would others think of me?”
Lu Yuan couldn’t fathom where Cang Wu’s confidence came from, to demand his surrender as if he were someone like the White Tiger God Son. Even against them, he would not surrender, let alone to Cang Wu.
“Ignorant!” Cang Wu’s face instantly turned cold, a murderous aura spreading. He had kindly suggested Lu Yuan surrender to avoid physical suffering, yet Lu Yuan dared to mock him.
“Am I wrong to speak the truth?” Lu Yuan spread his hands, showing great helplessness. Was it your fault? Or mine?
Cang Wu’s dissatisfaction and irritation grew. “Enough talk, die!” Cang Wu roared, spreading his hands as a lifelike Azure Dragon materialized behind him, like a real dragon, its majestic presence sweeping over.
“Sword Qi River!” Lu Yuan’s expression turned solemn, a divine sword appearing in his hand, its light flickering like a vast river surging upwards. Each strand of sword Qi contained deadly power, each capable of slicing through the heavens and tearing the earth apart.
With a thunderous noise, the two divine powers collided, causing a continuous explosion, the arena’s formation trembling as if about to burst, but soon a flash of light restored the arena to its original state. The battle between the two was fiercely contested, evenly matched.
“Old Lu, your clan’s prodigy is quite capable, able to stand against our God Son without falling short. He’s a good seedling, but he will ultimately be defeated!” An Azure Dragon Clan powerhouse said arrogantly, as if the outcome was already in his grasp.
The Lu family powerhouse was speechless. This Azure Dragon Clan really came from the same mold, not understanding why they were so superior and arrogant. “Who gave you the confidence to think your God Son could win?” The Lu family powerhouse scolded sharply, not giving any face.
Those ancient imperial families wouldn’t dare to say anything to you because your father, the True Dragon Clan, has influence among the foreign races. But our Lu family won’t eat that up. Trying to show off in front of our Lu family? Dream on! The Lu family powerhouse thought coldly.
“Of course, it’s because of our God Son’s strength! You don’t have to force it, losing to our God Son is not shameful!” The Azure Dragon Clan powerhouse sneered.
“No! Actually losing would be truly shameful, losing to anyone else doesn’t count for much, but losing to your God Son is the only unacceptable outcome!” The Lu family powerhouse hastily interjected. “What do you mean!”
“Exactly what it sounds like, do I need to spell it out more clearly? Who doesn’t know your God Son is the weakest, and the most likely for us to win against! Losing to your God Son would be utterly shameful!” The Lu family powerhouse said impatiently.
How could this guy not understand plain speech? What he said was already straightforward enough. Oh, this one isn’t human. Then, never mind.
“Haha, Old Lu, don’t be so blunt! What if this old mudfish cries? Then he’ll have to go find his True Dragon Clan daddy, and you guys won’t be able to handle that!” The Pure Yang Holy Son taunted.
“Bring it on, what’s there to fear? Those ancient imperial families might fear his daddy, but our Lu family doesn’t!” The Lu family powerhouse said nonchalantly.
Facing the taunts and ridicule from the two, the Azure Dragon Clan powerhouse’s face grew increasingly ugly. Meanwhile, the powerhouses from the ancient imperial families remained silent, as if they saw and heard nothing.
They’ve been annoyed with the Azure Dragon Clan for a long time. Relying on the True Dragon Clan to dominate among the foreign races, they hardly took them seriously.
If not for the True Dragon Clan’s presence, many races within the foreign races would have slaughtered the entire Azure Dragon Clan long ago, especially for some ancient imperial families. The Azure Dragon Clan is even more despised than the human race.
After a fierce battle, the fight finally concluded. The outcome was unexpected, no one saw it coming. Lu Yuan and Cang Wu both fainted, falling to the ground, ending in a draw. This outcome was completely acceptable to the human side. As long as they didn’t lose.
But the foreign races felt as if they’d eaten something disgusting.
“What a waste! Can’t even defeat a top prodigy!” The White Tiger God Son couldn’t help but mutter.
In their view, Zifu and Lu Yuan were just points to be earned, surely giving them points. They should have been able to score at least two points from these two.
Zifu’s side had already been easily scored. They thought Cang Wu could easily score too. Who knew Cang Wu would be so useless, ending up in a draw. This surprised the White Tiger God Son.
Bai Chen almost wanted to curse. Being such a waste, not sure what there was to be proud of.
“The Azure Dragon Clan really is all trash, the old useless, the young useless!” The Vermilion Bird Maiden didn’t hold back, directly cursing, and including the entire Azure Dragon Clan.
“Vermilion Bird Maiden, your words are a bit too much!” The Azure Dragon Clan powerhouse said gravely.
“Too much? What’s so excessive about it? Old man, shut up properly! You don’t have a say here, speak again and I’ll slaughter you!” Before the Vermilion Bird Maiden could even speak, a powerhouse from the Vermilion Bird Clan immediately backed her up, as if recalling some unpleasant memory.
You! The Azure Dragon Clan powerhouse was so angry he almost burst, but thinking of this old woman’s temperament, he forcibly held back.
“Waste!” The powerhouse from the Vermilion Bird Clan seemed to feel that her words weren’t enough, so she cursed at him again.
Hearing these words, the human side looked at each other, finding it strange. Why were the foreign races fighting among themselves? And the Azure Dragon Clan didn’t dare to retort?
“He wouldn’t dare to retort. The foreign races’ defeat back then was because this old mudfish and his clan’s God Son were useless, causing the foreign races’ complete collapse. If not for the True Dragon Clan daddy protecting them, this old mudfish would have died long ago!”
“Turns out, this old mudfish was the Azure Dragon Clan’s God Son of the previous generation. It seems trash does get passed down!” The Pure Yang Holy Son ridiculed unabashedly.
Hearing this, everyone understood such secrets. No wonder this old dragon didn’t dare to speak, he had issues himself.
Soon, the fourth round began. Qin Ershi faced the White Tiger God Son, Bai Chen. Both were supreme demons of the Nine Heavens Realm, almost equal in all aspects. Almost standing at the pinnacle of prodigies, only a few could be mentioned in the same breath as them.
Since their strength was so similar, their final result was much like Cang Wu’s. It also ended in a draw. This meant that both sides were now on the same starting line.
One win, one loss, two draws. This also meant that the final match would truly decide the outcome. Seeing both sides on the same starting line, the foreign races’ eyes shone brightly, filled with immense confidence.
“Human race, you’re doomed to lose!” Bai Chen’s voice was weak, yet filled with confidence! Because their next person would be the God Son of the Undying Phoenix Clan, Huang Qingtian.
Jiang Chen was doomed to lose! At the same time, the void was torn apart, and colorful flames spread out, forming a gigantic phoenix, appearing before everyone.
Standing above it was a young man with an impressive aura, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down on all beings!
Seeing this figure, everyone’s faces changed drastically. The God Son of the Undying Phoenix Clan, Huang Qingtian, was also one of the most powerful prodigies!
