Shen Kong smiled as he looked around. His grace was exceptional, and his appearance was imposing.
All of a sudden, his gaze drifted over to Su Yu, and he smiled calmly. "Who are you here for?"
The empty venue was dead silent.
The crowd followed Shen Kong's gaze and examined Su Yu.
Bearing the glare of tens of thousands of gazes, Su Yu remained calm. He was neither servile nor overbearing. He looked straight at the Snow Cloud Celestial Sedan Chair. His gaze was gentle, and his words were short and firm. "I came for Xianer, and only for her alone."
Thousands of miles, mountains and rivers, all he wanted was to see Xian 'er.
That was all.
The pupils of the crowd constricted slightly. Six days ago, during the blind date, Shen Kong and Feng Xian had already been betrothed to each other for life. With the Phoenix Cabinet's Master making the decision, there was no longer any suspense.
Now, Shen Kong was merely going through the motions.
Feng Xian was a subordinate of Shen Kong.
The fact that he walked out of Feng Xian's personal Snow Cloud Celestial Sedan Chair had already explained everything.
It was even to the extent that this wasn't done intentionally by Feng Xian? She used this method to tell the world that she would not marry anyone other than Shen Kong.
Su Yu had revealed his true intentions in front of everyone, competing with Shen Kong. Everyone was shocked!
"Is he crazy? He actually fought with Shen Kong over a woman! "A female disciple widened her eyes in disbelief.
"He is only seeking his own humiliation. In the previous Phoenix Meet, there has never been a lack of people who were blinded by their own folly." The old female disciple calmly shook her head.
"Is that so? I feel that the courage to challenge Shen Kong in front of so many people is enough to suppress all the geniuses present!"
…
Palace Master Shen Kong smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "Change to another one. She is not suitable for you."
It looked like a suggestion with a smile, but there was no hint of a suggestion in his words. Instead, it sounded like an order.
He had forcefully taken Su Yu's fiancée, but had ordered Su Yu not to take her back?
Su Yu's expression was as calm as an autumn lake. "Xian 'er is my woman."
It was only one sentence, but it was domineering, resolute, and sharp.
That unrivaled aura, that nonchalant calmness, that arrogance that looked down on Shen Kong deeply shook everyone's heart.
In this world, there was actually someone who wanted to go against Shenkong!
"Pointless persistence." Shen Kong laughed and shook his head. He lifted his foot and brushed past Su Yu.
Su Yu's figure couldn't be seen in his gentle eyes, nor could he see anyone else. He could only see the sky and the earth.
That was arrogance.
The only thing that could restrain him was the heavens and earth.
The short collision caused the atmosphere to become much more solemn.
"Actually, Yin Yu is also a dragon among men. His looks and talent are not inferior to Shen Kong."
"It's a pity that I was born a few years later. I would never be able to catch up to Shen Kong in this lifetime."
Some of the female disciples were moved by Su Yu and felt pity for him.
At this point, all the young elites of the Northern Continent had arrived.
Once the Phoenix Cabinet's Master appeared, all the outstanding youths would be able to choose the female disciple they liked.
If there was a disagreement, the victor would be decided by force. The one with the better aptitude would be able to win the beauty.
Chirp —
Suddenly, an elegant cry of a phoenix resounded in the sky.
The Four Colored Divine Light shone from the depths of the Phoenix Cabinet, illuminating the world.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Welcome, Pavilion Master!"
Following this, over ten thousand female disciples knelt down and kowtowed.
Ten thousand people bowed in unison, their momentum shocking the heavens, the scene magnificent.
The young elites also showed respect on their faces.
Because, that divine light was the supreme representative of the Phoenix Cabinet. It was the most dazzling divine light in the north continent.
It represented a person, a peerless expert with peerless elegance.
The Phoenix Cabinet's Master!
Suddenly, the Four Colored Divine Light shone brightly. From the depths of the Phoenix Cabinet, a Four Colored Ball of Light slowly rose.
The light shone in all directions, overshadowing the light of the sun and the moon.
It was as if it was the only one in the world!
The glaring divine light was difficult to look at. Su Yu narrowed his eyes and revolved his crystalline pupils to barely see through the divine light.
That was a dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman.
Even though she was over forty years old, her skin was fair and smooth, her figure tight.
If not for the vicissitudes in her eyes that did not lose to the young woman, it would have been impossible to connect the dignified and beautiful woman in front of him to a woman.
She wore a four-colored brocade robe, luxurious yet simple, noble yet elegant.
Her every movement was dignified and elegant, calm and magnanimous.
The moment Su Yu saw her, he felt his heart move.
What an unrivalled beauty!
She was not as beautiful as Xia Jingyu, not as youthful and beautiful as Xianer, but her dignified and elegant demeanor was rare in the world.
Whoosh —
The divine light dispersed, leaving only an afterimage. The world regained its clarity.
The Phoenix Cabinet's Master disappeared.
But her voice could be heard from the viewing platform.
"There are some changes to the rules this year. Everyone, please calm down!"
So fast! There was no one who wouldn't be shocked!
Su Yu had not even sensed the slightest bit of her aura before she had teleported to the viewing platform.
So powerful! Su Yu was secretly shocked.
"Changes?" The geniuses were shocked. "We will obey the Cabinet Master's arrangements."
They had come for a matchmaking session, so how would they dare to slight the Cabinet Master?
"Then, prepare for battle. The first stage is the elimination round.
Among the hundred of you, only the top hundred will have the chance to choose the woman you like. Once you have chosen, you cannot change it. "The Phoenix Cabinet's Master's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze.
All the geniuses were eager to try.
This was a battle between the north continent's geniuses.
Even if they did not choose a woman, they would fight with all their might and become famous in the continent.
"Tianfang, I'll leave it to you," the Phoenix Cabinet's Master ordered.
"Yes, Master!" Mu Tianfang respectfully did as she was told, taking out 150 jade butterflies with colorful phoenixes and numbers carved on them.
They were given to every genius present, a total of 150 butterflies.
Su Yu's number was 150.
"Ten people to a group," the Phoenix Cabinet's Master said. "Those who win two matches will enter the top 100. The higher your rank is, the more priority you will have in choosing the woman you like."
In other words, if they won all the matches in the group stages, they would be able to enter the top 15 and choose the woman they liked.
But what if there was more than one person in the top 15? Who would go first?
"The groups have begun! First group, get ready, "Mu Tianfang instructed.
Su Yu looked over and saw that Zhong Luan was in the first group.
Sword Demon Zhong Luan, where was his sword?
The Hundred Territories Alliance was desolate, and it was difficult for Zhong Luan's name to be known in the north continent.
Outsiders had no way of knowing his exact abilities or areas of expertise.
They only knew that he was called the Sword Demon.
But he never carried a sword with him.
Su Yu watched the matches silently, filled with anticipation.
"The first match, Hundred Territories Alliance's Zhong Luan versus Hundred Territories Haoran Faction's Liu Kang."
Liu Kang, Immortal Realm Level Two.
Zhong Luan went up the stage, his expression warm. He looked Liu Kang up and down, nodding his head in approval. "I have heard of your name. Outside of the Shentian Manor, you are the strongest genius of the Hundred Territories Alliance."
The Shentian Manor accepted all the geniuses of the Hundred Territories Alliance, but there were a few geniuses who were unwilling to enter for various reasons.
Liu Kang was one of them.
Liu Kang had a respectful expression, overwhelmed by the favor. "Mister Zhong Luan, you flatter me!"
In the Hundred Territories Alliance, Sword Demon Zhong Luan was a legend that all geniuses looked up to.
Now that he was battling him, he felt the same way.
"It is rare for me to meet you. Let me try." Zhong Luan smiled.
Liu Kang was excited. "I have offended Mister Zhong Luan, please have mercy."
Zhong Luan stood with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at a junior, his attitude humble. "Go ahead. This is a spar, there is no need to hold back."
Taking a light breath, Liu Kang attacked.
"Great Monument Palm!" With a grunt, Liu Kang unleashed an immortal-level technique, Stage One Upper Class. Its power was not weak.
Zhong Luan stood at his original position with his hands behind his back, not retaliating.
Puuu —
A palm landed on Zhong Luan's body. The powerful palm created a powerful energy wave, lifting up a cloud of dust.
But Zhong Luan did not move an inch. Even his hair and clothes remained the same.
It was as if Liu Kang had struck a stone man.
The geniuses were secretly shocked.
Even an Immortal Realm Level Four would not feel good after being struck by an Immortal Realm Level Two without any defense.
What was going on with Zhong Luan? He was not affected in the slightest!
Looking closely, the crowd realized that the surface of Zhong Luan's body was surrounded by a transparent air current.
Liu Kang's attack was negated by the air current.
"It's spirit energy protecting the body!" someone recognized.
"As expected of an Immortal Realm Level Four. Just his spirit energy alone is enough to suppress Zhong Luan."
Su Yu observed, his expression turning serious. "Sword Demon Zhong Luan! What frightening spirit energy! "
In the eyes of an outsider, Zhong Luan was only releasing Immortal Realm Level Four spirit energy. But Su Yu could clearly sense it.
That was only a portion of Zhong Luan's spirit energy.
There was an even more frightening spirit energy in his body.
The portion that was revealed was not even a third of what was hidden!
Such dense spirit energy was unnatural for an Immortal Realm Level Four Lower Tier.
To think that the seemingly gentle Zhong Luan had hidden so much.
"Your technique is powerful, but you are not proficient in using it. You can only unleash eighty percent of its power. You will improve with more practice," Zhong Luan commented.
Liu Kang was excited, bowing respectfully. "I will remember Mister Zhong Luan's pointers."
"Then I will send you down." Zhong Luan waved his sleeves.
A strange scene ensued.
Zhong Luan was unarmed, but he released a bolt of sword energy, sending Liu Kang down the stage!
Where was his sword?
There was no suspense in the following battles.
Zhong Luan only used one move. He released a bolt of sword energy with a wave of his hand, sending his opponent down the stage.
No matter if it was an Immortal Realm Level Two or Immortal Realm Level Three, there were no exceptions.
He defeated all of his opponents with one move!
There was an insurmountable gap between Immortal Realm Level Four and Immortal Realm Level Three. The difference was too great!
"First group, Zhong Luan wins all!"
"Second group, get ready!"
So on and so forth, the competition proceeded in an orderly manner.
The battles between Immortal Realm Level Threes were exciting and entertaining. The screams of female disciples could be heard from time to time.
But every time they met an Immortal Realm Level Four, it would end quickly, just like the first group.
There was no suspense in the overwhelming battles.
Su Yu also paid close attention to every Immortal Realm Level Four fighter.
But it was a pity that they only used one move to defeat their opponents.
Shen Kong, Wei Qilin, and Liu Li were all the same.
Especially Shen Kong. He did not even attack.
Because no one was willing to fight him. Those who went up the stage all admitted defeat.
Shen Kong was invincible. Who could fight him?
"Last group."
It was Su Yu's group's turn.
"First group, Su Yu of the Empire of Darkness versus Li Shanming of the Snow Listening Tower."
Li Shanming was twenty years old, Immortal Realm Level Three.
In terms of cultivation level, he was on par with the Fourth Son, Zhang Xueyi.
But his abilities were slightly weaker.
Whoosh — —
Su Yu and Li Shanming flew onto the stage.
"Do we still need to fight?" Su Yu stood calmly with his hands behind his back.
In terms of cultivation level, Su Yu could crush him.
"Why not? Do you think you are Shen Kong? That you can make me retreat without fighting? "Li Shanming took out a weapon from his back. It was a bow and arrow!
