In the battle ring, the Ninth Princess was looking grim because she knew that she had no hope of winning this battle at all.
No one had been able to endure a battle with Ao Wushuang for more than one strike in all the previous battles.
Ao Wushuang, with a cultivation at Lv 5 of the True Spirit Realm, had a combat strength that far exceeded everyone else’s.
“The Ninth Princess has such extraordinary talent, which is very rare. May I know the Ninth Princess’s real name? After the competition is over, we can exchange pointers in martial arts!” Ao Wushuang smiled amicably, slightly lowering his attitude.
The Ninth Princess’ alluring appearance had really stunned him. He had seen many beauties, but the kind of temperament that she was exuding was like nothing that he had seen before.
She creased her brows slightly, but she still replied honestly, “Hong Qingxuan!”
“Qingxuan?” Ao Wushuang murmured, nodding his head and as he praised her. “Xuan means pretty jade and Qingxuan implies crystal clear jade. An excellent name, indeed worthy of the Ninth Princess’s style!”
But the Ninth Princess remained silent.
“Princess Qingxuan, I assume that you are around 16 years old. It’s very rare for someone at your age to achieve such cultivation strength. There are few with that kind of talent in the Hong Domain. I really admire you!” Ao Wushuang was speaking with fervor and assurance as he praised her. However, she was cold.
The Ninth Princess’s talent was peerless. The number of praises that she had received since she was young was not less than what Ao Wushuang had said. She had heard such praises so many times so she was already immune to them!
In the spectator stands, Su Mo was speechless.
“Damn it! Ao Wushuang is obviously flirting with her!
“It looks like he is tempted by her beauty!”
But Ao Wushuang’s flirting skills were lousy. Apparently, he was only a rookie.
His intention was extremely obvious and he did not know how to do it progressively or that it would only lead to her being disgusted by his actions.
Actually, one could not blame Ao Wushuang’s lousy “skills”. With his talent and fame within the Hong Domain, countless beauties would throw themselves at him.
Normally, he did not need to take the initiative to get to know any girls. Instead, it was those girls who would take the initiative.
Therefore, it was Ao Wushuang’s first time initiating getting to know a girl.
In the fighting ring, the Ninth Princess looked at Ao Wushuang, who continued to talk, then she raised her brows and said impatiently, “Can we start now?”
Ao Wushuang was slightly surprised and a look of gloominess shot over him. Up until today, no women had ever dared to not give him face.
However, he did not express any displeasure, but just smiled and said, “Of course princess, you may attack. I’ll go easy on you!”
“I don’t need your mercy!” the Ninth Princess spoke mildly and then attacked. Her slender white hands waved slightly and beautiful flower petals came flying around like raindrops and attacked him.
“Haha! Good!” Ao Wushuang smiled lightly and sent out two vast punches that destroyed everything they passed, including the flower rain.
He looked indifferent as he swung to destroy the Ninth Princess’ attack, displaying his invincible posture.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
She looked cold and continued to attack. She waved both hands and two Devastating Red Lotuses shot out at him.
“Bang! Bang!”
Ao Wushuang sent out two more blazing punches, which were vast and held mighty fist force. The two Devastating Red Lotuses were once again destroyed and did not cause him any harm at all.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
The Ninth Princess continued to attack and once again sent out four Devastating Red Lotuses that were even brighter.
Ao Wushuang remained indifferent and casually swung his punches to destroy the four Devastating Red Lotuses.
“Too powerful!”
“Ao Wushuang is indeed very strong. He can easily destroy all attacks. I assume he’s yet to use his full force!”
“Yes! Looking at the young generation in the Hong Domain, no one can threaten Ao Wushuang’s position, not even Su Mo!” Many people in the spectator stands were discussing it as they were shocked by Ao Wushuang’s strength.
Su Mo creased his brows. Ao Wushuang was indeed very powerful, having the absolute strength to crush the rest of the talents.
Su Mo was secretly estimating how his strength stacked up against him, and indeed he fell just short.
He was born in the Heaven Sect, the leader of the Seven Overlords in the Hong Domain. Su Mo had heard that he was the grandson of the Master of the Heaven Sect. The way that Su Mo had been groomed was not comparable.
Coupled with his talent, it was not surprising that he had such powerful strength.
Without his hidden card, the Nirvana Sword Qi, he would not stand a chance to duel with him.
After taking a deep breath, Su Mo’s state of mind slowly returned to calmness. Once the nine Nirvana Sword Qi in his body had been completely condensed, he would have the hope for victory.
In the fighting ring, the battle continued.
However, this battle was different because Ao Wushuang did not attack at all, he was only defending.
He stood in the fighting ring, relaxing and not moving at all, with his left hand behind him, using only his right hand to defend the Ninth Princess’ attacks easily.
“Ethereal Flower Cut!”
“Blooming Field of Flowers!”
“Devastating Red Lotus!”
“…”
She did not stop attacking. She used all her tricks and skills to attack Ao Wushuang for more than a dozen strikes, yet she could not hurt him in the slightest.
He only used a single hand and easily blocked all of her attacks.
After a short while, she stopped attacking and sighed helplessly.
Ao Wushuang’s strength far surpassed hers by too much. They were of entirely different standings. She did not see the need to continue with the battle anymore.
Besides, based on his strength, her Teal Lotus Shield could never block him.
“You’ve won!” the Ninth Princess said plainly.
“Haha!” Ao Wushuang smiled proudly but he humbly said, “My cultivation exceeds Princess Qingxuan’s by two levels, my strength is naturally stronger than yours!”
After pondering for a while, Ao Wushuang said again, “Princess Qingxuan, in two months, it’ll be my 21st birthday. I’ll be holding a grand banquet and inviting all the geniuses on the List of Top 100 Talents of the Hong Domain. I hope you will be able to come to the Heaven Sect for the banquet and discuss martial arts together!”
Ao Wushuang was sincerely inviting the Ninth Princess.
In actual fact, he did not intend to hold any banquet for his upcoming birthday. He had just decided that on the spot so he could keep in contact with her.
The Ninth Princess muttered and shook her head, saying, “Sorry, but in two months, I might be leaving the Hong Domain, so I can’t make it to the banquet. Please excuse me!”
She rejected his invitation.
“Oh?” Ao Wushuang creased his brows and laughed. “Are you leaving to get experience? I’m quite familiar with the nearby Yuanwu Domain. Maybe we can go together so we can take care of each other.”
He still refused to give up and was striving to find chances to be with the Ninth Princess.
“Sorry! I’m not going to Yuanwu Domain!” She shook her head and rejected him coldly.
Ao Wushuang’s face slightly sank. Since when had he suffered such humiliation? He already ate humble pie and invited her politely, but she actually turned him down flat.
“In that case, maybe we can travel together in the future when there’s a chance!” Ao Wushuang’s face quickly returned to normal as he smiled.
After a short while, Ao Wushuang’s Dragon Luck devoured part of the Ninth Princess’s Dragon Luck and grew to 327 meters.
Thereafter, the Ninth Princess returned to the spectator stands. Ao Wushuang remained standing in the fighting ring.
Looking at his own Dragon Luck, 327 meters long, Ao Wushuang was getting excited. He was looking forward to defeating Su Mo, so his Dragon Luck would reach 333 meters and open the Firmament Divine Realm.
Ao Wushuang did not want to waste any more time and looked directly at Su Mo in the spectator stands. “Su Mo, come down!”
