“You’re admitting defeat?”
Lu Changsheng, while relentlessly pursuing and overpowering Yuexi, inquired without pausing his attack.
The opponent was a genius at the nine-rank Divine King Realm. By taking the initiative and closing in on Yuexi, Lu Changsheng could suppress her. Once she created distance and employed the divine skills of the Mysterious Lady Palace, she would become difficult to deal with.
“I…”
Yuexi’s face turned red with strain. She was being dominated by Lu Changsheng, clearly at a disadvantage.
But she was the top genius of the Mysterious Lady Palace. If she admitted defeat, what would become of the palace’s reputation?
“Yuexi, that’s enough.”
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Lady Palace hadn’t anticipated such an outcome.
Lu Changsheng attacked like a madman. Unable to create distance, Yuexi could only end up in a mutually-destructive fight with him. Unfortunately for her, Lu Changsheng was a Tempered Body Expert with a robust physique, proficient in various Cultivation Techniques, making it unimaginable for Yuexi to find a way to create distance.
The top genius of the Mysterious Lady Palace in such a sorry state, her defeat to Lu Changsheng was only a matter of time.
The twelve Sword Maidens of the Mysterious Lady Palace were all rattled by this move of Lu Changsheng.
“However, looking at it from another angle, for someone at the Immortal Emperor Realm to have tempered his physique to such an extent is truly astonishing. Have you noticed? His True Qi volume isn’t much less than that of my disciple.”
The Palace Master of the Mysterious Lady Palace discussed with the other eleven Sword Maidens.
Mengchen Sword Maiden and others, upon reflecting on this match, acknowledged that in addition to beating geniuses with wild punches, Lu Changsheng’s True Qi was indeed profound.
Even Chu Wuqing of the Wushen Palace, using the same method, couldn’t make the stunning top genius of the Mysterious Lady Palace so disheveled.
“How could this young man, with merely the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor Realm, have such a surprising volume of True Qi?”
“This young man’s talent is truly monstrous.”
“He gained victory over Yuexi with a preemptive strategy, but Emperor Ku will be on guard against it, maintaining distance from the start. He won’t be able to use the same tactic and will only secure second place.”
“Under the heavens, there’s probably no one of his generation that can defeat Emperor Ku. For him to have obtained the second place is enough to establish his fame.”
“What a pity that he’s male and doesn’t meet the recruitment criteria of our Mysterious Lady Palace.”
The twelve Sword Maidens communicated secretly.
No one expected there to be such a prodigy from the Lower Realm, one who successively defeated the peerless geniuses of divine palaces such as Wushen Palace, Wuming Palace, and the Mysterious Lady Palace, shining brilliantly.
With the Palace Master of the Mysterious Lady Palace agreeing to admit defeat, Lu Changsheng ceased to press Yuexi any further. Yuexi glared at Lu Changsheng resentfully.
It was the first time she had been beaten like this; her opponent showed no mercy. As the fight went on, she was nearly pinned to the ground, it was almost like a street brawl.
The top genius of the Mysterious Lady Palace, rarely so bedraggled.
How was she going to mix in the Immortal Realm after this?
“Immortal Yuexi, my apologies.”
Lu Changsheng was also drenched in sweat, having exerted all his energy.
He had to use all means available to defeat Yuexi.
Specifically because Yuexi had a high cultivation level, only her physique was her weak point, so Lu Changsheng took the initiative, giving no chances to Yuexi.
Beating the Mysterious Lady Palace’s genius in front of everyone, nearly mounting her to throw punches, was somewhat embarrassing for both Yuexi and the Mysterious Lady Palace.
“Hmph.”
Yuexi bit her thin lip and turned to leave.
It took a while for the Golden Armor Heavenly General to recover his senses before announcing the result of the match: “In this round, Lu Changsheng from Mount Taihua wins.”
“Lu has emerged as a dark horse to enter the finals; it’s truly miraculous.”
“With someone from the Lower Realm entering the finals, even if we cannot claim the championship, it has been enough.”
“Mount Taihua has truly lived up to expectations this time, producing such an extraordinary genius.”
“This young man will undoubtedly become one of the Great Experts.”
“In the future, we should forge good relations with Mount Taihua Sacred Land and Lu.”
People from the Holy Lands and Prestigious Families were overjoyed to see someone ranked in the top two.
Originally, it was already a pleasant surprise for a genius from the Lower Realm to make it to the top eight, but Lu Changsheng made it to the top two!
No one expected Lu Changsheng to be able to defeat Emperor Ku, as this match was suggested by the Heavenly Emperor to call attention to Emperor Ku, with almost no one capable of defeating the Supreme Emperor Body.
The top two exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“Congratulations, Saint Lord Lin. Your Mount Taihua has produced an exceptional disciple.”
“This young man is sure to achieve great things in the future.”
People from various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families congratulated Lin Xuantong, envying him openly.
With Lu Changsheng making it to the top two, Mount Taihua Sacred Land also reaped the benefits.
“Changsheng, second place is sufficient. In the final battle, do as much as you can.”
Lin Xuantong was already very satisfied with his disciple’s performance.
He also knew that Emperor Ku possesses the Supreme Emperor Body, invincible within the same realm, and considering Lu Changsheng had already gone all out to defeat Yuexi from the Mysterious Lady Palace, it was highly likely that he would lose against the even stronger Emperor Ku. Thus, he consoled Lu Changsheng in advance.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng consumed some Elixir Pills to quickly recover his True Qi.
The final opponent was Emperor Ku, who possessed the unique constitution of the “Supreme Emperor Body,” and his strength was even greater than that of Yuexi, making him an absolute formidable adversary.
If it weren’t for his mastery of the first chapter of the sword technique in the Fifth Sword Realm through training in the cultivation space, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t stand a chance.
“Lu, that Emperor, said to possess the Supreme Emperor Body and great strength, you must be careful.”
Xia Ningxue also advised Lu Changsheng.
The Supreme Emperor Body was widely renowned for remarkable talent, capable of doubling the efficiency of any Cultivation Technique cultivated. Furthermore, Emperor Ku had cultivated for 600,000-700,000 years, becoming a nine-rank Divine King, overwhelmingly bright among the ten thousand divine palaces of the Heavenly Court, truly the number one genius of the Heavenly Court.
