Ordinary people simply cannot understand them. But those who truly understand Beast Cultivators would naturally know that this is because the people of the Habsburg Clan are in pursuit of the Heavenly Dao. They firmly believe that only by single-mindedly cultivating beasts can they attain immortality. All other worldly fa would rely beco stumbling blocks on their path of cultivation.
And this cold-blooded and heartless girl in the black dress is nad Jolena Habsburg, the most outstanding granddaughter under the Qiao Buyi Clan Leader. By nature, she is cold and emotionless, always acting alone, like a lone, eerily cold female wolf. Yet her talent in beast cultivation is undeniable. Though young, she has already stood proudly among her peers in the family, barely encountering any rivals. Therefore, Qiao Buyi specially crafted an Ice Soul Blade of water attribute for her, which is of dium Spiritual Treasure grade!
dium Spiritual Treasure! What a terrifying na, no wonder she dares to roam freely on the outskirts of the Forest of Death, even alone.
At this mont, her gaze unintentionally swept over Su Chen’s face, yet there wasn’t the slightest fluctuation on that icy face. Su Chen, being stared at thus, felt his previous anger instantly freeze over.
How hateful, to harm others for no reason, and still dare to look down on so brazenly? Su Chen gritted his teeth, a ruthless coldness also appearing in his eyes.
Just wait, I will definitely take back the grudge from the Forest of Death!...
The first day’s elimination competition concluded amid great attention. Su Chen, as a mysterious dark horse, successfully forged through the encirclent, becoming a target of many forces. Simultaneously, Jin Zhenhuan, Nalan Kang, Jolena, and others also beca the focus of everyone, providing many topics for conversation over the following exciting days.
The sun set slightly slanting over the spacious Cang Family backyard.
A tall figure danced with a longsword, his body moving fluidly like a gust of wind; each shuttle, each leap would inevitably bring a rush of wind, raising a small swirl of explosive dust from the ground. The air that continuously overflowed with the dance of the swordbody moved in an uncertain direction within the courtyard, making the surrounding leaves rustle as if about to fall. The black hair tied behind his back occasionally flew up and fell back down, but never appeared to scatter.
Suddenly, the figure abruptly halted and charged, the sword tip gliding forward like a snake’s tongue; the whole person seed to leap towards the moon, breaking through the resistance of the air, tracing a sharp afterimage in the mid-air of the courtyard! While airborne, he twisted the longsword to his back, twisting his body halfway, and instantly condensed an unimaginably terrifying burst of force, with a burst of blue light, the entire person spun down like a top, stirring up dirt all over the ground!
The left palm suddenly shot out, and another vortex of wind lifted the figure into mid-air, turning him upside down, the swordbody constantly swirling in small ranges, as if inscribing sothing onto the ground. Monts later, a small whirlwind ford out of nowhere, then the figure softly cried out, hurtling down like a top, the swordbody clanging as it pierced the ground!
Chichichichi!
The swordbody enveloped in green light, the green light suddenly converged at the sword tip, like countless raindrops gathered together. At the mont the green light blood, it pierced a small hole about a ter deep in the ground!
Invisible dust ascended in a column, swirling violently in the air!
Phoenix, who had been silently watching from the corridor, gave a low gasp, her face full of astonishing expression. Because she noticed that on the ground, her own na, Cangyan, astonishingly appeared!
And between the nas, the dust dyed red by the sunset, like colorful lanterns, shone especially poetically on the word "Yan." She couldn’t help but feel joy in her heart and ran towards the figure.
"Su Chen..."
The figure turned slightly, revealing a smile on the exceptionally handso face dyed by the sunset, the starry black eyes emitting a soft tenderness, "Why did you co out?"
"I ca out after hearing soone’s voice longing for ."
Phoenix said with a gentle laugh.
"Haha, and who might that be?"
Su Chen sheathed his sword in the Canghen crystal, smiling faintly.
Phoenix took a few steps forward, wrapped her left hand over his, leaned her head on his shoulder, and happily said, "It’s a guy nad Su Chen. A rogue who is very good at capturing a woman’s heart."
Su Chen said innocently, "Since I’m a rogue, aren’t you afraid of being taken advantage of while holding so tightly?"
Phoenix’s face blushed like flowers, her eyes bright with deep emotions, "I’m not afraid, because Cangyan has already set her heart on him, this life and forever, she’ll only marry him as her husband..."
The sun set behind the western hills, and the two figures leaned against each other for a long ti without parting...
After three days of brutal elimination matches, the top ten were finally decided amid great anticipation. According to past conventions, the top ten matches would move to another competition venue.
The sa do-shaped building occupied a large area, but the seating inside was set with extrely strict hierarchy. Specifically, it was divided by the royal family, state guests, grand nobles, small nobles, and ordinary city residents, with nearly ten thousand seats from front to back, filled to the brim within the building. For fairness in the competition, the tournant also specially invited several authoritative figures from across the country as judges for the top ten matches.
At this mont, within the gigantic building, all that could be seen was a sea of people.
From front to back, the numbers increased sequentially. Those citizens who could barely afford the tickets shouted crazily from the back, howling as if to attract soone’s attention. While the VIPs in the front row sat quietly in their seats, waiting patiently for the competition to begin.
There were only two arenas in the entire venue, each occupying several hundred square ters. One was the main arena, and the other was a backup arena in case of ergencies.
Not far from the main arena was a special area designated for the Golden Wind Empire’s royal family mbers. At this mont, several luxuriously dressed n and won were sitting there. Among them was Jin Chengxuan, the Emperor of the Golden Wind Empire, and his several beautiful concubines.
Ginny, being a princess, was naturally the daughter of the Empress. Unfortunately, her mother passed away early, leaving only her and her brother Jin Zhenhuan. At this mont, Ginny sat beside Nalan Yan, head down and silent, with a dull deanor.
"Princess, why do you seem so downcast?"
Nalan Yan, who was as beautiful as an immortal, said softly.
But hearing her voice, Ginny’s expression grew noticeably worse, only uttering a few words faintly, "I’m unwell."
Nalan Yan uttered an "oh" and intended not to further find trouble. But with a brow tug, she seed to think of sothing and said softly, "I heard the Eldest Prince successfully advanced this ti, congratulations. However, I also heard that my useless brother seems to have fortunately made it into the top ten."
Ginny furrowed her brows and snorted, "What’s there to congratulate? My brother already has that capability. Also, no sister would describe her brother’s success as ’lucky,’ that disrespects his efforts."
Nalan Yan’s expression changed, and finally, she shook her head after a long while, forcing a smile, "The Princess is right, hehe..."
At this mont, Jin Chengxuan, who was still talking to other concubines, suddenly turned and asked, "Dear, what are you and the girl talking about so happily?"
Turning back to the steady and handso Jin Chengxuan, Nalan Yan’s pretty face noticeably glowed with light, tenderly speaking, "Your Majesty, this concubine is talking with the Princess about matters concerning the Eldest Prince."
Jin Chengxuan smiled faintly, nodding affectionately, "Is that so, haha, that child indeed brought honor this ti, making it all the way to the top ten, but I’m not sure if this ti he can break the Habsburg Clan’s spell."
"Your Majesty’s worry is also exactly what I am concerned about."
Nalan Yan laughed softly, seemingly sincere, which disgusted Ginny next to her.
"The Habsburg Clan has frequently produced beast-cultivation talents over the years, coupled with the spiritual treasure aid crafted by Clan Leader Qiao Buyi, the Habsburg Clan is booming like the sun at midday. It’s nearly impossible for ordinary people to defeat them. It’s said that this year, the contestant is Clan Leader Qiao Buyi’s granddaughter Jolena, wielding a dium-grade Spiritual Treasure!"
Nalan Yan flaunted the information she received from her father in front of Jin Chengxuan.
Jin Chengxuan’s expression also slightly tensed, "Dear is right, I too noticed that Jolena earlier. She does indeed match Zhenhuan’s strength."
Nalan Yan felt more proud, but Ginny could no longer tolerate it, coldly snorting, "So what if it’s a mid-level Spiritual Treasure, as long as Imperial Brother and Brother Nalan are a bit careful, they can definitely break the Habsburg Clan’s string of success."
Nalan Yan, more smug, watched as Ginny grimaced but then managed a forced smile, "The Princess is right, haha..."
At that mont, Jin Chengxuan, who had still been chatting pleasantly with other concubines, turned around and asked, "What were you and the girl talking about so happily, my love?"
Looking back at his composed and majestic appearance, Nalan Yan bead and softly said, "Your Majesty, I was just discussing with the Princess how the Eldest Prince will certainly bring you pride this ti, having made it to the top ten, though I wonder if he can break the curse of the Habsburg Clan this ti around."
Jin Chengxuan smiled warmly, doting, "That’s right, haha, that child really gave face this ti. He fought his way to the top ten all the way, I’m just not sure if he can break the Habsburg spell this ti!"
"What Your Majesty is concerned about is exactly what I am also worried about," echoed Nalan Yan with glee.
"I heard that the Habsburg Clan has spawned nurous beast cultivation prodigies over the years, and with the spiritual treasure crafted by Clan Leader Qiao Buyi as an aid, the Habsburg Clan is flourishing. It is hardly possible for ordinary people to compete with them. This ti, it’s rumored that Clan Leader Qiao Buyi’s granddaughter Jolena is participating, and what she wields is a dium-grade Spiritual Treasure!"
