"The Crown Prince of the Royal Azure Dynasty, Gu Changge, can take one sword attack from me, but you can't even take half a sword attack from me. No, that's not right either. Perhaps Gu Changge can't even take half a sword attack from me either." Chu Kuangren said arrogantly.
When he defeated Gu Changge, he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Now that he was at the peak stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, it would be even easier for him to defeat Gu Changge.
Gu Changfeng's face turned pale. He wanted to refute but he had no way to do so. If not for Princess Linglong's sudden intervention, he would not have been able to withstand the blow.
The rest of the Heaven's Favorites did not look too good either.
It was true that Gu Changge had defeated six great sage orthodoxies in a row, but Gu Changge was not even worth mentioning in front of Chu Kuangren.
What about them?
Some of them were even inferior to Gu Changge.
In front of Chu Kuangren, it was even more insignificant!
This was a world of great competition.
It was supposed to be a glorious battle between geniuses from all over the world.
However, why did they feel like it was Chu Kuangren's stage?!
"How could such a character appear in this epoch? What's the point of having geniuses in this world then?" One of the geniuses said in dissatisfaction.
It was obvious that Chu Kuangren had left a huge impact on the crowd.
"Everyone, I have neglected this banquet. I will have to trouble everyone to leave first. I have something to discuss with fellow daoist Chu."
Princess Linglong suddenly said.
She blocked Chu Kuangren's attack with a calm expression on her face.
At this moment, no one dared to treat her as an ordinary princess. It was obvious that she was also a peerless Heaven's Favorite!!
She was even better than Gu Changge!
The prodigies who came to attend the banquet left with various thoughts in their minds.
"Brother Chu, take your time chatting with the Princess. I'll take my leave first." Li Xingchen winked at Chu Kuangren and chuckled.
"Third Brother, you may leave as well," Princess Linglong said.
Gu Changfeng hesitated.
"Leave." Princess Linglong repeated in a stern tone. Only then did Gu Changfeng leave.
Soon, only Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, and Princess Linglong were left.
Princess Linglong glanced at Lan Yu and did not allow him to leave. She then turned to Chu Kuangren and said, "If I didn't manage to block that sword attack just now, Third Brother would most likely die. Do you really want to kill him?"
The air turned solemn with a hint of coldness.
Chu Kuangren chuckled. "If so, what would you do?"
"No, you're luring me to attack."
"The Princess has tricked me so much. If I don't do something about it, it won't be right. I don't like to be used by others."
Chu Kuangren had long noticed that Princess Linglong was trying to set him up. She had been nice to him and used the jealousy of the other sky-prides to create trouble for him. How could he just sit there and wait for his death?
You tricked me, so of course I'll return the favor.
After seeing Princess Linglong, he immediately used the Eye of Revelation to check on her. She was at the Insightful Emptiness Realm, and her battle prowess was even stronger than Gu Changge and Fang Tian. She was strong enough to block his sword attack just now.
"If I don't make a move, if I can't make a move in time, then wouldn't Third Brother really die under your sword?" Princess Linglong said.
"Since it's my sword, I naturally have the confidence to control it."
Chu Kuangren was very confident in his swordsmanship.
Even if Princess Linglong did not make a move in the end, he would have been able to control the sword gleam in time to at least ensure that Gu Changfeng did not die.
"Alright, now it's time to talk about why the princess has targeted me time and time again. Is it really to avenge your brother?"
"I'm not targeting you. I'm just testing you."
"I would like to hear the details."
"Let's talk inside."
When the three of them entered the palace, Princess Linglong immediately asked after she sat down, "What do you think of me?"
Chu Kuangren was stunned for a moment. "Princess, are you going on a blind date with me? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm really not interested in you. "
His words made Princess Linglong frown. 'Not interested?
'F * ck, I'm beautiful, rich, powerful, and talented. How can there be men who are not interested in me?'
Princess Linglong, who was used to being the center of attention, felt a little aggrieved, but she did not show it. Instead, she said nonchalantly, "Then let's change the question. What do you think the others are here for?"
"Most of them are here for power, wealth, and status. A small portion of them are not here for power or wealth, but for your body," Chu Kuangren said.
"That's … straightforward."
Power, wealth, status, and resources. These were the goals of most people who came to participate in the betrothal contest. However, for Daoists from sage orthodoxies like Fang Tian and Lin Batian, they did not lack any of these.
They were here for Princess Linglong's body.
To be more precise, they were here for the Godly Essence of the Godly Daoist Physique!
"That's right, the Godly Essence of the Godly Essence of the Godly Daoist Physique is a treasure that every cultivator in the world yearns for. Because of this physique, I've even been targeted by a Young Emperor," Princess Linglong said.
Chu Kuangren's expression changed slightly. "Young Emperor?"
"The Young Emperor of the Shang clan from the Scarlet Phoenix Domain! My father has promised me to the Shang clan's Young Emperor in order to strengthen the nation's power! "
Young Emperor was the shorthand for the Young Emperor.
Every Young Emperor was an unparalleled sky-pride with extraordinary combat strength. They were much stronger than people like Gu Changge and Fang Tian.
There were a total of eight known Young Emperors in the Firmament Star, scattered across the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Scarlet Phoenix, and Black Tortoise Domains.
"The Shang clan's Young Emperor sounds impressive, but what does that have to do with me?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"The Shang clan's Young Emperor is only focused on Daoism. To him, I'm just a tool to aid his cultivation. Once I'm no longer useful, he'll just throw me away." Princess Linglong's tone was a little resentful.
Chu Kuangren listened quietly without saying a word.
"I'm not willing to be a tool like that, so I organized this martial arts contest in hopes of finding a sky-pride who can fight against the Shang clan's Young Emperor. And that person is you, Chu Kuangren!"
"Previously, I used some tricks to test you, just to confirm your abilities. Now, it seems like I made the right choice."
"Chu Kuangren, I want you to defeat everyone, including the Shang clan's Young Emperor. I want you to be my legitimate Fiancé!"
"This is a collaboration!"
Chu Kuangren listened to Princess Linglong's words quietly.
He understood now.
Princess Linglong was an independent woman who was dissatisfied with her arranged marriage. However, in order to hide it from others, she wanted to find a marriage partner, and that partner was Chu Kuangren.
"I'm sorry, but I refuse. Firstly, I have all the power, wealth, and resources you have. The Fiancé you want is just a formality. I don't think you'll let me touch you."
"Secondly, I don't need to offend a Young Emperor just for you."
Chu Kuangren was not stupid.
To him, the Fiancé title was not tempting at all. The only person who could benefit from it was Princess Linglong.
"Are you afraid of the Shang clan's Young Emperor?"
"I'm sorry, but psychological tricks don't work on me." Chu Kuangren raised an eyebrow. Shang clan's Young Emperor? He did not know how strong his opponent was, but if he had to be afraid, he had never been afraid of anyone.
He could even kill Honorable Supremes, let alone a so-called Young Emperor.
"Three things. As long as you promise me, I can promise you three things. I'm Princess Linglong, and I possess the Godly Daoist Physique. My achievements are limitless, and I'll definitely be able to help you in the future."
"Heh, if even I can't do it, then you definitely can't. Lan Yu, let's go." Chu Kuangren turned and left.
Looking at his back, Princess Linglong gritted her teeth. "The Godly Essence, don't you want it anymore? As long as you become my Fiancé, I can promise to give you the Godly Essence to help you achieve your Dao! "
That was the last and most precious thing she could offer.
To her, giving it to Chu Kuangren was better than giving it to the Shang clan's Young Emperor whom she had never met. At least Chu Kuangren's looks suited her taste.
"I'm sorry, but I've already said that I'm not interested in you. I, Chu Kuangren, do not need that kind of thing to achieve the Supreme Dao!"
With that, Chu Kuangren left without looking back.
