At the Elegant Gathering, Zhao Fangfei may seem like she was praising Chu Kuangren when, in fact, she was directing hatred toward Chu Kuangren by provoking the animosity everyone felt for him.
After the mental spar, the second part of the Elegant Gathering was the duel, which was also the part that everyone was looking forward to the most. The Heavenly Champions’ strength was mysterious, and everyone was eager to know what level they were at.
The duel might reveal some of their Daos.
“I should be able to participate in this duel, right?” said Lan Yu.
“Of course.”
“Are you willing to enlighten me, Inkstone Heavenly Champion?”
Lan Yu pointed at Zhao Fangfei.
She was displeased at how Zhao Fangfei instigated everyone’s hostility toward Chu Kuangren, so she decided to take action.
“Oh.”
A strange look appeared in Zhao Fengfei’s eyes when she heard what Lan Yu said. “I didn’t expect Miss Lan Yu to select me as an opponent.”
“Do you dare to take the challenge?”
“I won’t turn you down since you’re interested, Miss Lan Yu.” Zhao Fangfei smiled.
The rest of the people were curious and eager to watch the contest between the two goddess-tier characters.
Zhao Fangfei took out a thin, long, and delicate sword with a chilling ray flowing on its tip.
“Please.”
With a smile, Zhao Fangfei did a fist salute and then immediately made her move.
As she thrust her long sword forward, a sword ray shot out, almost slashing through the void.
At the same time, Lan Yu waved the Heavenly Skylight in her hand.
Bang!
The moment the sword ray and Heavenly Skylight clashed, a shockwave spread across the land.
Lan Yu did not show mercy because of Zhao Fangfei’s plot against Chu Kuangren, and every move of hers was laced with anger.
Everyone witnessing the scene was amazed.
‘Do these two women have a grudge?’
“Miss Lan Yu, you’re showing me no mercy. Could it be because you think I’m coveting Chu Kuangren, so you’re treating me as a rival in love?” Zhao Fangfei teased while smiling.
“Hmph. Only you would know.” Lan Yu snorted.
She attacked with the Heavenly Skylight in her hand again, while Zhao Fangfei unleashed another attack too.
Everyone exchanged glances and seemed to understand something.
Those two women were fighting out of jealousy.
“What makes Chu Kuangren deserving of these two goddess-tier characters fighting for him out of jealousy?”
“Comparison is the thief of joy.”
The battle between the two women was intense, and it lasted for more than an hour.
In the end, Zhao Fangfei voluntarily gave in. “Miss Lan Yu, you’re powerful. I’m willing to surrender.”
Lan Yu could not help but frown as she did not feel that Zhao Fangfei had fought her with all her strength. The outcome would be different if she did her best.
‘She’s hiding her strength.’
Naturally, Lan Yu did not do her best either.
“I can’t believe Inkstone Heavenly Champion lost the battle.”
“I didn’t expect Lan Yu to be so powerful.”
The others did not know the actual circumstances of the battle between the two. All they saw was the Inkstone Heavenly Champion conceding defeat to Lan Yu, which they found surprising.
Lan Yu was not a Heavenly Champion, but she defeated a Heavenly Champion!
Such an incident would definitely be a sensation in the academy.
“Miss Lan Yu, you’re powerful, and I would like to learn from you,” said Scholar Yao.
He stood up slowly while waving the jade fan in his hand.
Lan Yu pondered for a while before she nodded slightly and did not reject. After all, she was here to check out the Heavenly Champions’ strength.
“Please,” said Scholar Yao charmingly as he stood confidently with a calm smile on his face.
After watching the battle between Lan Yu and Zhao Fangfei, Scholar Yao was highly confident that he would win.
“Women like to yield to the strong. As long as I can defeat her and prove my strength, even if I can’t capture her heart immediately, I can leave a deep impression in her.”
“With this impression, I can then plan my next steps slowly in the future,” Scholar Yap thought.
He was confident in himself as he had been involved in many relationships and had won many women’s hearts.
He was outstanding in terms of appearance, cultivation, talent, strength…
In the former Fragmented Immortal World, he was well-known for successfully capturing many women’s hearts.
“Lan Yu, you can’t escape my grasp.”
A possessive desire emerged in Scholar Yao’s eyes.
Lan Yu felt a sudden chill run down her spine. Although Scholar Yao had hidden it well, she knew his filthy desire.
With Heavenly Skylight in hand, her eyes turned cold.
Without another word, Lan Yu made a move by waving her Heavenly Skylight Scepter, which contained the energy fluctuation of the Radiant War Immortal’s Core.
Scholar Yao calmly raised the jade fan in his hand to resist the attack. The jade fan was an impressive high-grade Immortal Weapon.
He confidently resisted Lan Yu’s attack until the Heavenly Skylight Scepter collided with his jade fan. At that moment, he was shocked. “How can this Immortal’s Core energy fluctuation…”
The unimaginably powerful Immortal’s Core energy fluctuation made Scholar Yao stagger backward for more than a hundred meters, which was quite embarrassing.
At that scene, all the Heavenly Champions’ gazes turned serious.
“Did she use her full strength in the battle just now?” Li Wangchen asked in surprise.
Zhao Fangfei grinned without feeling surprised. “Sure enough. She also hid her strength like me. Scholar Yao, it seems like your disgusting desire has provoked her even more.”
“D*mn it.”
Scholar Yao’s expression changed when he saw Lan Yu attacking ferociously. He mobilized Immortal’s Core in a hurry, and the jade fan in his hand hit the Heavenly Skylight Scepter non-stop.
Bang, bang, bang!
One explosion after another erupted in the void.
Scholar Yao got off to a bad start and was overpowered by Lan Yu.
“Her strength is much stronger than I expected. Will I lose if this goes on?!”
“How is this possible?”
Scholar Yao’s high ego could not allow himself to lose to Lan Yu, who was not even a Heavenly Champion.
More importantly, she was the woman whose heart he intended to win.
“Heavenly Big Dipper Tornado!”
Scholar Yao attakced with his full strength as he could not care less anymore. As he waved the jade fan in his hand, surges of strength qi swept out like a wind blade, with each containing enough force to kill an Immortal.
“Heavenly God Ray!”
Lan Yu activated her Winged Human combat skills, and a white light beam shot across the sky, tearing the endless gust of wind apart.
“Come again!”
“Hurricane Divine Sword Art!”
Scholar Yao once again cast an Immortal Technique.
He slashed downward with the jade fan in his hand!
Although he had not mastered the Immortal Technique completely, the strength was so mighty that he could not control it.
However, that was the least of his concerns now.
A sword shadow slashed down with unparalleled might that tore the void.
Lan Yu’s expression turned solemn in the face of the attack. She struck the sword shadow with the Heavenly Skylight Scepter in her hand but was forcibly forced back several kilometers with a loud bang. Blood trickled down the corner of her mouth, and the mountain under her feet shook.
Upon seeing that, Scholar Yao’s figure immediately took the chance to dash toward Lan Yu in a flash and unleashed a palm attack.
On top of the previous sword attack, Lan Yu would be severely injured if she could not resist the ferocious palm attack.
The crowd exclaimed in shock as they did not expect Scholar Yao to make a killing move!
‘Is a duel turning into a life-and-death battle?!’
However, a hand stretched out from the void at that moment.
Scholar Yao’s ferocious palm attack was caught in the air by the slender palm, making it hard for him to escape.
As they looked toward the slender hand, the crowd saw a handsome young man dressed in white who exuded a transcendental presence.
“Chu Kuangren! He’s here!”
