Old Gu stared at Chu Tianjiao as he laughed, "I don't quite understand your highness's words. Crown Prince Xiao Lvl wants to bring Qin Yao back to Chu. Does Qin Yao agree to this?"
"How can the engagement of the Crown Prince of Snowcloud be a joke? Even if Qin Yao has some objections, she has to return to Snowcloud first." Chu Tianjiao calmly replied.
"You mean that even if Qin Yao doesn't agree, Snowcloud will still forcefully bring her back as a concubine? Not only that, Chu is willing to be an accomplice? " Old Gu countered, "This old man has lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've heard such a despicable act spoken of in such a manner. What's even more unbelievable is that it came from the mouth of the Crown Prince of Chu. Could it be that the Royal Clan of Chu has already fallen to such a state?"
Old Man Gu's words were sharp, especially the last sentence, as though he was implying something. Currently, the Royal Clan of Chu was at the heart of the storm, and the rumors of Qin Wu being sentenced to death were still spreading. Yet, Old Man Gu had pinned such a big hat on Chu Tianjiao, causing people to sigh in admiration.
Even Chu Tianjiao didn't expect Old Gu's words to be so sharp. A cold glint of light flashed in his eyes, "Old Gu's words, how can a person be untrustworthy? Marriage is a joke? Coming from the mouth of an Honorary Elder of the Emperor Star Academy, I, Chu, am truly ashamed."
"How ridiculous, when did I ever have a marriage engagement with Xiao Lvl?" Seeing how Chu Tianjiao kept mentioning the marriage agreement, Qin Yao couldn't help but be enraged. "I only agreed to interact with Xiao Lvl, and we don't even have any substantial relationship. Yet you're saying that I've already become his accessory?
Old Gu coldly snorted, "Chu Tianjiao, did you hear that clearly?"
"The important point is that the people of Snowcloud already know about the marriage between Qin Yao and Crown Prince Xiao Lvl. That's enough."
"What a load of nonsense." Qin Wentian couldn't help but shout, "According to the logic of the 3rd Prince, if I start a rumor today, saying that the Princess of Chu has a marriage engagement with me, Qin Wentian, wouldn't the Princess of Chu have to marry me the next day?"
"Impudent! Who do you think you are? How can you be worthy of the Imperial Princess?" Sikong Mingyue's gaze was as sharp as a sword as he stared straight at Qin Wentian, "What kind of status does the Crown Prince, Xiao Lü have? Since the news of Qin Yao and the Crown Prince's relationship is already known by everyone, how could she not return to Snowcloud?"
"Hehe, that's what you think. In my eyes, be it the Princess of Chu or the Crown Prince of Snowcloud, what do they count as? How can they be compared to my elder sister?" Qin Wentian looked at Sikong Mingyue as he sneered, "As for you, a loser, you still dare to act so arrogantly?"
As he spoke, a look of disdain flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes. Qin Wentian had seen many memories from the Astral-Being, he had seen the 'Dream of Spring and Autumn', he had also received the inheritance of the Azure Emperor and had gone to the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds to temper himself. How could his horizons be limited to Chu and Snowcloud? The world outside was extremely vast, and the Crown Princes of Chu and Snowcloud didn't count for anything. In the entire Nine Continents, they were nothing more than ordinary commoners.
His view of the so-called 'geniuses' had also changed. Sikong Mingyue was one of the most talented geniuses in the entire Snowcloud Country, but even so, he was still weaker than Luo Qianqiu. However, when compared to the geniuses in the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds, Luo Qianqiu could only be considered ordinary.
In this way, he would be able to remind himself not to belittle himself, but also not to get carried away, thinking that he was a genius.
He, Qin Wentian, was only a member of this boundless continent. He didn't have the qualifications to look down on others, but he also didn't need to look up to others. He could only take one step at a time, relying on his will and determination to advance steadily.
Sikong Mingyue was humiliated by Qin Wentian in public. His Sword Intent gushed forth as he dashed towards Qin Wentian as he roared in rage, "Let's fight again!"
"You are not worthy." Qin Wentian calmly stared at Sikong Mingyue, his eyes filled with disdain. That arrogant look in his eyes caused the killing intent radiating from Sikong Mingyue to grow even more intense.
Only then did Sikong Mingyue's aura calm down. However, Chu Tianjiao continued, "There's no point in talking too much. Today, the Royal Academy is paying a visit to the Emperor Star Academy. I have five Yuanfu cultivators on my side, and they wish to seek guidance from the outstanding students of the Emperor Star Academy.
"Why don't I see five from the Royal Academy?" Old Gu glanced at the other party.
"Ye Wuque, 1st level of Yuanfu, invites Qiu Mo of the Emperor Star Academy." Ye Wuque replied. He was ranked # 5 among the 10 prodigies, while Qiu Mo was ranked # 4.
"Wang Teng, 2nd level of Yuanfu, invites the leader of the Greencloud Association, Ling Hua of the Emperor Star Academy." A silhouette stepped out, exuding a powerful aura.
"First Sword, 2nd level of Yuanfu, invites the honorary elder of the Emperor Star Academy, Rain."
"Wu Chong, 2nd level of Yuanfu, invites the leader of the Asura Association, Du Yidao."
"Xiao Lan, 3rd level of Yuanfu, invites the leader of the Heavenly Demon Association, Xue Lengfeng."
Beside Chu Tianjiao, the five silhouettes all spoke. In an instant, an intense aura gushed forth, filled with an intense battle intent.
The five of them directly issued a challenge. Not only that, the people they invited were all at the same cultivation level as the five of them. Not only that, they were all extremely famous in the Emperor Star Academy. Three of them were the leaders of the three student associations, one was a member of the 10 prodigies, and the last was an honorary elder.
"Since when did First Sword become a member of your Royal Academy? And why haven't I heard of Xiao Lan and Wang Teng before?" Old Gu's countenance turned sharp.
"The Royal Academy and the Godly General Martial Palace have just merged, so Old Gu naturally isn't familiar with some of them. As for First Sword, the matter today concerns the entire Snowcloud Country. It's just that because of the merger of the two academies, I don't wish to bully the Emperor Star Academy. Hence, Crown Prince Xiao Lvl and I will not participate in the battle." Chu Tianjiao slowly spoke, causing the pupils of the crowd to narrow. What an arrogant tone.
Indeed, Chu Tianjiao was ranked # 2 among the 10 prodigies. In addition, Xiao Lvl was the leader of the Duo Prides of Snowcloud Country. There was no need to doubt the strength of the two of them.
If Chu Tianjiao and Xiao Lvl were to participate, the Emperor Star Academy would be in even more trouble.
However, the two of them chose not to participate.
This was a battle between Yuanfu Realm cultivators. Regardless of the Emperor Star Academy or the Royal Academy, Yuanfu Realm cultivators were the backbone of the academy. People at this level were the true elites of the Emperor Star Academy.
From a certain perspective, the scale of this battle didn't lose out to the Jun Lin Banquet. The five participants were all extraordinary characters.
Ye Wuque, a Yuanfu Realm cultivator of the 10 prodigies.
First Sword, the leader of the Three Swords of Snowcloud Country.
Wu Chong, a genius disciple of the Godly General Martial Palace.
As for Wang Teng and Xiao Lan, they weren't simple characters either. Especially Xiao Lan, who was at the 3rd level of Yuanfu, challenging the leader of the Heavenly Demon Association.
"Will the Emperor Star Academy accept the challenge?" Chu Tianjiao's voice boomed out, reverberating in the air above the Emperor Star Academy.
They had already investigated the cultivation bases of the geniuses of the Emperor Star Academy. From the looks of it, the Emperor Star Academy didn't have any intentions of taking advantage of the Emperor Star Academy.
The gazes of the students of the Emperor Star Academy all turned to the Elders in the spectator stands. Under such circumstances, how could they reject?
"Are all of you willing to accept the challenge?" Old Gu didn't make the decision for the geniuses of the Emperor Star Academy. He knew that the cultivation bases of the five participants were exactly the same as their opponents. Not only that, they were all from the Emperor Star Academy.
"Fight."
Only to see Qiu Mo stepping out, landing on the platform. His sharp eyes stared at Ye Wuque. His ranking was higher than Ye Wuque's, there was no reason for him to refuse.
"Ye Wuque, you're ranked within the top 5 of the 10 prodigies. At the very least, your position is unshakable." Qiu Mo indifferently stated as he stared at Ye Wuque.
Ye Wuque's countenance was calm as he stared at his opponent. After which, he released his 3rd Astral Soul, causing a resplendent golden-red light to flash about.
"Golden Astral Soul, 4th Heavenly Layer." Qiu Mo's countenance stiffened when he saw this. Not only did Ye Wuque open an Astral Gate and condense his 3rd Astral Soul, he even condensed an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer.
This Astral Soul was in the form of a golden-red sharp sword. As the light shone, the sharpness of the sword intent was bone-piercing.
"Bzzz." A terrifying sharpness erupted forth as Ye Wuque stepped out, instantly causing Qiu Mo to feel an immense pressure. Behind his back, a pair of silvery wings appeared, gleaming with a resplendent light. This was his 2nd Astral Soul, and after stepping into Yuanfu, even his wings seemed to have become real.
After Wu Xiu stepped into Yuanfu, his arterial pathways transformed into a vortex, and the Astral Energy in his body transformed into Yuan Energy droplets. Each droplet was condensed from a vast amount of Astral Energy. These Yuan Energy droplets, which contained a terrifying amount of energy, would appear in the Yuanfu within Wu Xiu's body. Not only that, the newly formed Yuanfu would also begin to nurture an Astral Nova.
The amount of Astral Energy a Yuanfu cultivator possessed was far beyond what a Arterial Circulation Realm cultivator could compare to. That was a qualitative change, a leap in strength.
The vast amount of Astral Energy they possessed would allow them to use many different techniques. Even their Astral Souls would have a corporeal quality to them. When they gradually nurtured their Astral Novas and stepped into Heavenly Dipper, they would then possess a corporeal Astral Nova.
"Chi … …" Just when Qiu Mo was in a daze, Ye Wuque stepped out. In an instant, countless golden swords converged together, transforming into a gigantic Heaven Punishing Sword, slashing towards Qiu Mo. Golden Sword Qi enveloped the surroundings, and the might of this attack was akin to a terrifying tempest.
An Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer could even amplify his attacks. How terrifying was this?
Qiu Mo also released his own Astral Soul, but when faced against Ye Wuque's attack, he discovered that all of his defenses would be broken apart. A deep sense of disappointment could be seen in his eyes. The position of the 4th prodigy was about to change hands.
The attacks of the two collided together. With just a single strike, Qiu Mo was blasted off the platform, causing the spectators to be stunned.
Was the difference in strength between the 4th and 5th prodigies so great? Not only that, the 5th prodigy was even stronger.
The first battle, the Emperor Star Academy was defeated.
Ye Wuque cast his gaze in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy's spectator stand, only to see him bowing as he stated, "I won this round by luck."
After speaking, he slowly retreated, returning to his original position. However, when the sound of his voice drifted into the ears of the spectators, it was extremely ear-piercing.
