In the sky above the Groom Search Competition arena outside the City Governorās Estate, there were two figures standing in the sky behind the clouds and mist.
One of the two was a middle aged man in a crimson red robe with gold edges.
The middle aged man had a firm expression, emitting a dignified disposition as he stood, and it shapelessly brought a type of oppressive feeling to others.
Beside the middle aged man, an old man past 70 stood in the air.
"Interesting, interesting." The old man in grey clothes had a calm expression, and his muddy eyes abruptly lit up as if heād noticed something new.
"Elder Kong, youāve noticed something?" The middle aged man asked curiously.
"Eldest Young Master, perhapsā¦ The destined person of the Young Miss has appeared." The grey clothed old man spoke slowly with an unfathomable expression.
"Elder Kong, what you mean isā¦?" The middle aged manās eyes squinted and had an astounded expression.
In the Groom Search Competitionās arena, the City Governorās daughter stood there silently.
Whereas although there were many people in the surroundings, most of them came to watch the show, and no one ascended the arena after a long time.
"Let me experience the strength of the City Governorās daughter!" Along with an explosive shout, a swift figure flashed to ascend to the arena.
This was a young man around the age of 25-26, with a handsome appearance and arrogance mixed between his brows.
"Your age is past the limitā¦ Get down!" The City Governorās daughter hadnāt even reacted when the azure clothed old woman standing at the side of the arena raised her head indifferently and glanced at the young man.
"Iā¦" The young man opened his mouth, yet he hadnāt finished speaking.
Bang!
An enormous bang sounded out, and an aged figure had appeared where the young man stood earlier.
In the blink of an eye, everyone present saw that the azure clothed old woman that stood at the side of the arena was suddenly standing at the spot the young man was standing earlier.
As for the young man, he was directly blasted down the arena.
"The Groom Search Competition of my Young Miss is restricted to young talents below the age of 25ā¦ Donāt come make a fool of yourself if youāre above 25 years of age. I can discern if your age is over or not with a glance, donāt try your luck." The old woman spoke slowly with a tone that contained incomparable confidence mixed within.
However, no one present dared doubt what the old woman said.
"So fast!" The eyes of Duan Ling Tian who stood at the side of the arena squinted.
The old womanās speed was shockingly swift.
Although he was curious of the old womanās strength, Duan Ling Tian didnāt dare use his Spiritual Force to detect itā¦
"Could it be that the formidable Spiritual Force from before came from this old woman?" Duan Ling Tian couldnāt refrain from thinking in his heart.
Heād noticed the old woman that stood beside the arena long ago, but he only thought that she was an ordinary servant of the City Governorās Estate. He had never imagined that the old woman had hid her ability.
"Allow me!" A light footed figure descended into the arena, it was a young man around the age of 23 or 24.
Swoosh!
The young man looked at the City Governorās daughter that stood in the distance, then he stomped on the ground, transforming into a gust of wind as he took the initiative to gain the advantage in the battle.
Whoosh!
In the air, 600 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form, then dashed out in a formidable array.
Swish!
A three foot long blade appeared in the young manās hand, then his Origin Energy rages as he swept it out horizontally.
Instantly, another 168 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared beside the 600 ancient mammoth silhouettesā¦
Fourth level Nascent Soul Stage!
Grade seven spirit weapon!
This sword strike contained the strength of 768 ancient mammoths.
The hearts of the people present couldnāt help but float up to their throats when they saw the young manās sword about to touch the City Governorās daughter.
Swoosh!
In practically an instant, as if a cool breeze blew past, the City Governorās daughter had finally made a move. She casually swung her sleeve, and her sleeve instantly expanded, containing roaring Origin Energy as it swept towards the young man.
Bang!
Without any suspense, the young man and his sword were directly blasted down from the arena.
At the same time, above the City Governorās daughter, 800 ancient mammoth silhouettes could be vaguely seenā¦
At this moment, the City Governorās daughter didnāt utilize a spirit weapon.
"Sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!"
"My god! The City Governorās daughter was really concealing her cultivation, sheās actually a sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist!"
"A 20 year old sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist? There seems to have never been an appearance of a person with such natural talent in the history of our Darkstone Empire, right?"
"Even if itās throughout the entire Darkhan Dynasty, there are very few monstrous geniuses in the Martial Dao like her."
ā¦
The surrounding crowd of spectators were in an uproar, as all of them were shocked by the cultivation displayed by the City Governorās daughterā¦
"Sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage at the age of 20?" A slightly surprised expression appeared on Duan Ling Tianās face. "Was this City Governorās daughter really only 20?"
"Heheā¦ Big Brother Ling Tian, her natural talent seems to be better than yours." The little gold mouseās voice transmission entered into Duan Ling Tianās ears.
Duan Ling Tianās brows raised, and his eyes contained slight astonishment mixed withinā¦
A sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist at the age of 20.
Solely in terms of cultivation, it was indeed stronger than his.
As for natural talent, Duan Ling Tian neither agreed nor disagreed. His natural talent could be considered as the limit of natural talent for martial artists on Cloud Continent.
Even if the natural talent of the City Governorās daughter was any higher, it would at most be on par with him.
Whereas his natural talent was only unearthed by the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk three years ago, so his starting point was much later than the City Governorās daughter.
After the City Governorās daughter revealed a cultivation at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, no one ascended the arena to get a beating anymore.
Time slowly flowed by.
"The Groom Search Competition will officially come to an end in half an hour." The azure clothed old woman said indifferently.
"Looks like no one is able to defeat the City Governorās daughter and get the girl."
"Thereās also that Soul Transformation Fruit. Supposedly, one can consume it even if one isnāt an Inscription Master. Once consumed, the soul will obtain a huge advancement, and would even be able to affect comprehension ability to a certain extent."
ā¦
The crowd discussed animatedly.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, are you still not going?" The little gold mouseās voice transmission entered into Duan Ling Tianās ears.
Duan Ling Tianās brows raised, then he stomped with his feet to leap up and descend onto the Groom Search Competitionās arena.
For a time, the combination of one man and one mouse attracted the attention of everyone.
"Another person has gone up to seek a beating."
"Itās even a young man that looks to be 22 at mostā¦"
"Eh, isnāt this young man that person we saw in the restaurant earlier?"
"It seems to be soā¦ That little gold mouse on his shoulder isnāt simple, itās a formidable demon beast! That Chang Clan Young Master, Chang Hui, had his arm crippled from a single swing of the tail by it."
"That harmless little gold mouse is actually a Void Prying Stage demon beast?"
ā¦
In next to no time, along with the explosive revelations of the people who had seen Duan Ling Tian in the restaurant earlier, everyone knew that the little gold mouse that stood on Duan Ling Tianās shoulder was a demon beast.
"Demon beast?" The azure clothed old woman heard the discussions of the crowd, then she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said indifferently. "The rules of our City Governorās Estateās Groom Search Competition is to disallow the usage of any other external sources of strength besides spirit weaponsā¦"
"Squeak squeak~" The little gold mouse brandished her claws and bared her fangs at the old woman when she heard the old womanās words, then the little gold mouse turned her body around and shook her butt at the azure clothed old woman.
This caused the azure clothed old woman to be stunned.
The surrounding crowd of people were dumbstruck as well.
"This is really a demon beast?"
"It has simply destroyed the lofty image of demon beasts in my heart!"
"This little gold mouse doesnāt look like a demon beast no matter how I look at itā¦ Itās instead like a pet."
ā¦
Meanwhile, the beautiful watery eyes of the City Governorās daughter that had remained motionless all along looked at the little gold mouse by Duan Ling Tianās side, and her willow shaped brows slightly raised. "What a cute little gold mouse."
The City Governorās daughter spoke with a gentle and moving voice that caused one to feel as if bathing in spring breeze.
"Donāt worry, she wonāt attack." Duan Ling Tian nodded to the azure clothed old woman then looked at the City Governorās daughter and smiled lightly. "May I know Young Missā name?"
"Want to know? Then defeat me first." The City Governorās daughter looked at Duan Ling Tian and said slowly, her voice was airy, as if it reverberated out from a gorge.
"Hmm?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned, then he nodded and said, "Young Missā¦ Errā¦ I wonder, can I not marry you if I defeat you? I only want the Soul Transformation Fruitā¦ Is that alright?" When Duan Ling Tian said these words, he felt slightly awkward.
After all, these words were slightly hurtful.
But he had to say it, as the reason heād ascended the Groom Search Competitionās arena wasnāt the City Governorās daughter, but the Soul Transformation Fruit.
The Soul Transformation Fruit was too important and too difficult to come by for him.
He wasnāt willing to miss the opportunity.
Along with Duan Ling Tian words entering the ears of everyone, the scene went deathly silent.
After a short moment, the surrounding spectators were in a complete uproar.
"F**k! I didnāt hear wrongly, right? This kid actually said he only wants the Soul Transformation Fruit and not the City Governorās daughter?"
"Is he mad? Although the Soul Transformation Fruit is difficult to come by, but how is it better than the City Governorās daughter? Marrying the City Governorās daughter would mean that he would have the chance to soar into the sky!"
"Madman! Madman!"
ā¦
The crowd was in an uproar as they were all shocked by Duan Ling Tianās words.
Of course, there were also some people that felt Duan Ling Tian was too arrogant and conceited.
"This kid looks to be around the age of 22, but he actually dares speak such arrogant words. Does he really think he can defeat the City Governorās daughter?"
"Exactly! If heās unable to defeat the City Governorās daughter, then what he said now is completely useless."
"Heās too arrogant!"
ā¦
High above in the air, the red robed middle aged man couldnāt help but be stunned and had a strange expression. "Elder Kong, I slightly believe it nowā¦ Perhaps, he really is the man in Tian Wuās destiny. He only came for the Soul Transformation Fruit."
"The temptation of the Soul Transformation Fruit is too strong for an Inscription Master." Elder Kong nodded. "His Spiritual Force is only a fraction away from stepping into the Void Prying Stageā¦ Itās still the first time that Iāve seen a little fellow at such a young age possess such a formidable Spiritual Force."
"Elder Kong seems to be extremely interested in him?" The red robed middle aged man laughed.
Elder Kong didnāt reply, yet his eyes that flickered with bright lights were sufficient to reveal his thoughts.
In the Groom Search Competitionās arena.
"Kid, arenāt you ashamed for talking big!?" The azure clothed old womanās face sank, and her fierce gaze swept towards Duan Ling Tian. "If youāre here to make trouble, then get down!"
Duan Ling Tian was slightly embarrassed.
People canāt even speak the truth in this age?
"If you want the Soul Transformation Fruit, then it will depend on if you have the ability!" The City Governorās daughter let out a shout in a gentle voice.
