He was willing to be cut into pieces to drag the Sage Emperor off his horse!
Ling Xiao had no other choice. He could only defend himself in the face of the Sage Emperor's aggression.
Seeing the Sage Emperor's gloomy expression, Ling Xiao flicked his sleeves and said, "Sister Moon Lady, let's go!"
The Moon Lady followed Ling Xiao. The Sage Emperor was livid, but he didn't make a move.
He didn't understand how Ji Furing could gain Yu Xuanyue's favor.
How could this Ling Xiao gain the favor of such an amazing woman like the Moon Lady?
Could this Ling Xiao really be Ji Furing's son?
No!
That shouldn't be possible. Ji Furing's son had already died in an assassination attempt, and the Sage Emperor had confirmed it himself.
Maybe he just looked like Yu Xuanyue and had a personality like Ji Furing. There were still people like that.
The Holy Emperor took a deep breath as he watched Ling Xiao and the Moon Lady leave. Suddenly, he slammed his palm onto the floor, and the floor tiles that were a foot thick were smashed to pieces.
"In the Prodigy Battle the day after tomorrow, if a man defeats Ling Xiao, he will be able to marry Mingkong! If a woman defeats Ling Xiao, she will be conferred the title of Princess of the Sacred Dynasty! "
After he finished speaking, his eyes revealed a cold killing intent.
Defeating Ling Xiao was just the first step. Next, he would humiliate this kid who dared to disrespect him.
...
One day and two nights was really short.
Ling Xiao was worried that the Sage Emperor would harm the Yuehua School students, so he created a large number of secret scrolls that could teleport them back to the Yuehua School.
Of course, he could only teleport them back to the Yuehua School.
He couldn't go anywhere else because this secret scroll borrowed the power of the Moonlight Pagoda.
However, the Sage Emperor didn't do anything the next day.
On the third day, the Prodigy Battle officially began, but the Sage Emperor still didn't do anything.
Ling Xiao couldn't guess what the Sage Emperor was thinking, but he definitely had to participate in the Prodigy Battle. Anyway, he was prepared to escape, so he wasn't afraid of the Sage Emperor playing any tricks.
Dawn.
The sky had just turned white, but the competition grounds were already packed with people. Moreover, the sound waves were monstrous.
Today's audience was much larger than usual.
Furthermore, the original ten battle stages had been merged together to form an even larger battle stage with a length and width of a hundred meters.
Outside the square battling platform, there were ten defensive formations that could defend against even more powerful attacks.
After all, today's twenty prodigies were the most outstanding ones under the age of twenty in the Sky Dragon Continent.
Their strength could break through at any time.
If a battle between two Celestial Realm cultivators occurred, ordinary arrays would not be able to defend against it.
When they arrived, Ling Xiao felt that the atmosphere was completely different. There seemed to be a thirst in the eyes of the geniuses who had already arrived.
It was a thirst for victory.
It was also a desire to defeat him.
Apart from Long Chen's eyes that were filled with worry, the others' eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight.
"What's going on, Junior Brother Ling? These people seem to have a grudge against you?"
Lan Yu 'er asked in confusion.
"Hmph, it's probably because of what happened at the banquet that day. I don't know what the Holy Emperor said, but these people have decided to target me."
Ling Xiao snorted coldly. In the face of these people's coercion, he was not afraid at all. The flames of war in his heart, which were originally calm, were now burning fiercely.
"You want to deal with me, but I also want to take away your Nine Cauldrons of Providence! Let's see who will have the last laugh! "
Ling Xiao's face was filled with joy.
After he had obtained Jian Wuji's three cauldrons of Providence, he realized that the Providence could not only improve one's luck and make it easier to circulate the Heavenly Origin Energy in one's body, but it could also constantly nourish one's body and soul, constantly improving one's entire being.
That feeling was simply wonderful.
Of course, the rest of the geniuses probably had the same idea.
Although they regarded Ling Xiao as their greatest enemy, they were also very vigilant against each other. No one was willing to lose to anyone.
This was the battle between the last twenty geniuses. It was the most intense and exciting battle.
Whoever could obtain the Nine Cauldrons of Providence would become the chosen one and receive the blessings of the entire Sky Dragon Continent.
When that time came, the situation would be completely different.
After the Yuehua School's people arrived, all the judges arrived about 15 minutes later.
The head judge began to announce the rules of the Sky-Pride Battle in front of everyone.
The Sky-Pride Battle would be carried out in the marketplace.
The battle would be carried out in a fighting ring.
There would be a total of 20 rounds of battle, and each round would have one opponent.
There was no elimination rule for consecutive defeats.
In other words, no matter what, every genius would get a chance to fight with another genius.
Who was stronger and who was weaker would be revealed very soon.
Moreover, every genius would receive the Nine Cauldrons of Providence. The only difference was the amount of Providence.
If one lost the battle, the Providence would decrease. If one won the battle, the Providence would increase.
Therefore, if one admitted defeat, the loss would be very serious.
The 20 rounds of battle would be carried out day and night. A certain amount of rest time would be arranged between each round until the end of the battle.
Such a rule was not a big deal. After all, a Transcendent Realm cultivator would not die if he did not sleep or eat for several days. Moreover, there was rest time in between rounds. He would recover after meditating for a while.
In addition, because Jian Wuji was killed, Feng Mo Ting, who was originally ranked 21st, was lucky enough to be among the top twenty geniuses.
Many people had doubts about Jian Wuji's death. However, the people who were there that night kept their mouths shut. Therefore, it was almost impossible to find out anything.
"Lastly, we will add one more rule. We will choose six seeded contestants based on the previous performances. These six seeded contestants will not meet in the previous rounds to ensure the excitement of the battle!"
The head judge continued.
Although some people were not satisfied with this rule, they had nothing to say in front of the head judge. They could only accept it.
Moreover, this would ensure the fairness of the battle, so the audience was very supportive of it.
"Who do you think will be among the six seeded contestants?"
"Isn't that obvious? His Highness Holy Son will definitely be among them!"
"Don't forget about Mo Wu Shang. In the last competition, His Highness Holy Son personally said that Mo Wu Shang was the most difficult opponent to deal with!"
"Bai Qianjiao will definitely be one of them."
"That's three already. There's also Liu Tai Yin and Hong San Mei."
"Liu Tai Yin is okay, but Hong San Mei lost to Qin Bixue. There's no hope."
"That's right. That's four. The fifth one will definitely be Qin Bixue. He defeated Hong San Mei, so it would be unreasonable if he wasn't a seeded contestant."
"Then there's only one left. Who do you think we should choose?"
"Ling Xiao. After all, he defeated Jian Wuji!"
"I think Long Chen is not worse than him!"
"Have you forgotten Hong Li?"
"Tsk tsk, the last one is really difficult to choose."
