Chapter 1335 - Lin Xiaoxiaos Cards

"General s.h.i.+ wants you to lose, but I hope youll win, Li Tianming," said Gujian Qingshuang.

s.h.i.+ Yan didnt agree with his words. "Its better if you win, of course. Itll prove youre invaluable. Youths of the Myriad Solar Sects havent defeated the celestial orderians for millions of years, because they have hundreds caeli imperius guiding them. Even Long Youyou, a descendant of the Veildragon Palace who isnt a Saintdragon Talent, was able to become a sixth-level constellier. You can see how useful caeli imperius are. If you defeat the sun emperors son today, youll be creating history. A million years from now, people will still know your name. All of the Myriad Solar Sects will be proud of you! By this point, s.h.i.+ Yan was impa.s.sioned.

"Really? Then Ill fight to the death." Tianming never imagined this duel would be so important. That was what he desired, for the people of this world to gradually develop a belief in him and their faith to integrate with his Imperial Will. He desperately needed a mind-blowing situation like this.

More importantly, Tianming wasnt the one that had provoked the enemy. Instead, their opponents thought them weak and wanted to oppress them. They were forced to resist and fight. In the eyes of the world, it was the celestial orderians who invaded their territory to oppress them, while Tianming resisted on behalf of the Myriad Solar Sects. The resentment the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect had been repressing finally had an outlet.

Long Wanying, Yan Nuxia, s.h.i.+ Yan, and Gujian Qingshuang were all moved by Tianming's strong conviction. It wasnt an easy task convincing them to believe in him, especially Gujian Qingshuang. The pa.s.sion in Tianming's eyes could move others.

"You never suffered defeat in the Voidsky Realm. I hope youll keep up your performance." Jiang Qingliu silently watched them.

"Youve all inspired me. I hope to fight to my hearts content," said Tianming.

He wasnt supposed to be the protagonist today. It was Li Haochen who pushed him into the spotlight.

The moment Gujian Qingshuang announced their decision, the audience boiled with excitement.

Whats the head instructor thinking?"

Isnt it obvious theyre giving the enemy the divine herbs?"

"In the past thousand millennia, no one has defeated the celestial orderians before the age of thirty."

"Maybe the Ninedragon Emperor succeeded. Theres too many versions of history."

A wave of pessimism swept over the people of the Azuresoul Palace. However, there was no point in being pessimistic once the words had been spoken. They had to accept the fact. Even if they were defeated, it wouldnt be as humiliating as losing a duel between experts. After all, only a small part of Tianmings team represented the Azuresoul Palace. A disciple of the Sky Palacethat was his main ident.i.ty. Even if he was purely representing the Azuresoul Palace, wasnt it an honor for the disciple of a second-rate sect to fight a leviathan like the celestial orderians?

"We have one condition. Well each send out three disciples, but our disciples will choose their opponent. Gujian Qingshuang added.

As Long Wanying had expected, Yun Tianque shook his head. "Thats impossible. The strong will compete with the strong. His Solar Majestys son, Li Haochen, has decided to fight Li Tianming, the number one disciple on the imperial star ranking. The others arent qualified to fight him.

"Then we get to decide the other two matches." Gujian Qingshuang replied.

"No problem." Long Youyou and Li Ruos.h.i.+ were the other two.

"Send out your three disciples wholl be competing," said Yun Tianque.

Thus, Tianming, Lingfeng, and Xiaoxiao appeared before them. Long Youyou noticed Lin Xiaoxiao at once. "Big Brother Haochen, thats the woman whos holding our ancestor's Dragonblood Desecration. The Veildragon Palace has been too busy trying to suppress the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect to take back whats ours. If I defeat her today, can I take the Dragonblood Desecration?"

You can try, but she might be too afraid to fight you," said Li Haochen.

"Shell choose Youyou." Li Ruos.h.i.+ chimed in.

Why?

"The soul of that disciple named Feng is supposedly at the third regal soul level. Hes extremely lethal to totems. Hell definitely challenge me," said Li Ruos.h.i.+.

Itll be like throwing straws against the wind."

Judging from their strength in the imperial star ranking battle, Long Youyou regarded them with contempt.

"Yes, Yu Ziqian is such a loser. Hes second on the imperial star ranking, but hes too afraid to fight. I really don't know how a person like him could become a Sky Palace disciple." Li Ruos.h.i.+ frowned. She had a.s.sumed that Yu Ziqian would be a formidable opponent.

"Im ranked second in the celestial orderian clan, but Im supposed to deal with a n.o.body who ranks seventh on the imperial star ranking. Thats like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, Long Youyou pouted.

Squeezing her cheeks, Li Haochen said, "Youll be fine, but s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ will have to be a little more careful. If your totems dont feel right, it's alright to concede defeat.

"Big Brother Haochen, don't worry. I won't embarra.s.s the soul tribulators and celestial orderians. Even if were inhibited, we can't lose to these insignificant Myriad Solar Sect juniors." Li Ruos.h.i.+ said softly. Although her voice was gentle, her thoughts were bold.

During the conversation, they had already agreed on the order of the matches. In the first duel, Long Youyou of the Veildragon Palace would face Lin Xiaoxiao, who ranked seventh on the imperial star ranking. Despite the similarity in their names, one appeared vivacious while the other was aloof. Coupled with Xiaoxiaos possession of the Dragonblood Desecration, it almost seemed as if the two were natural enemies. Although the two were young women, their duel would be interesting.

In the second round, Li Ruos.h.i.+ of the soul tribulators would duel Feng, who was fourth on the imperial star ranking. It would be a confrontation between a totemancer and specter. Many thought that was the only match that the Azuresoul Palace had a small chance of winning. As for the third duel, Li Haochen, the sun emperors son, was up against Tianming, who was first on the imperial star ranking. It was a duel between Lis, a showdown between the celestial orderians and Myriad Solar Sects.

"Xiaoxiao, if you perform well, I won't even need to fight." Tianming laughed.

"Alright, then we wont inconvenience you today, said Xiaoxiao.

So confident? Tianming said in amazement. Why was everyone so certain today!? They were probably inspired by Jiang Qingliu.

"Well, shes quite similar to the one I challenged on the Violetglory ranking. They both have five lifebound beasts. However, her contempt for me is much stronger. Itll be an opportunity for me," said Xiaoxiao. She was obviously extremely clear-headed.

In her final imperial star ranking battle, Xiaoxiao had been utterly defeated by Weisheng Moran. Throughout the Voidsky Skirmish, she hadnt clocked any notable achievements. Aside from being lucky enough to obtain the Dragonblood Desecration, she was simply a n.o.body to the audience. Her brilliance was less than a thousandth of Tianmings.

Her opponent, Long Youyou, was the Veildragon Palaces number one disciple under thirty and the daughter of the Veildragon Palaces first dragon imperial. She cultivated under the guidance of caeli imperius since she was a child. In terms of cultivation, she was two levels ahead of Long Longlong, the Saintdragon Talent. As a beastmaster, she had suppressed countless celestial orderian geniuses. Long Youyou and Li Ruos.h.i.+ were evenly matched; she was second only to Li Haochen.

There was a vast difference between the two. To put it bluntly, Xiaoxiao had nothing but the Dragonblood Desecration. In their eyes, she was inferior in terms of ident.i.ty, status, strength, and talent. How could she compare? It was clear that Long Youyou was filled with impatience and dissatisfaction toward her opponent. Born with a golden spoon in her mouth, she had grown up surrounded by older brothers and sisters. Even Li Ruos.h.i.+'s duel with Feng seemed somewhat challenging. At least her opponent had defeated Kong. On the other hand, Long Youyous opponent seemed humble in comparison.

"Never mind. Ill win so Big Brother Haochen praises me.

Xiaoxiao and Long Youyou stood face to face on the Azurecloud Divine Tree. The battlefield was large enough for them to fight to their hearts content. Although her opponent had a few cards, there were hundreds of thousands of seniors watching. Long Youyou felt a hint of nervousness for the match.

The sword is blind. Dont blame me if I accidentally kill you." Long Youyou condescendingly said with her chin raised.

Xiaoxiao found that Long Youyou was somewhat similar to Huiye s.h.i.+. When Huiye s.h.i.+ had first descended upon the Flameyellow Continent, her contempt was no different. However, Long Youyou was even more detestable than her.

The ferocious Archaionfiend sprang from behind Xiaoxiao, surging with red lightning. Its bone spurs, armor, thick claws, blade-like wings, vicious face, and fangs made a strong visual impact. Being stared at by it at close range startled Long Youyou.

But when she only saw four thousand stars in the Archaionfiends eyes, she couldn't help but laugh, "You only have a four-star divine beast? Ive not encountered such an easy opponent in almost eight years. If it weren't for the Dragonblood Desecration and today's situation, you wouldnt be qualified to be my opponent even if you cultivated hard for a thousand years." Long Youyou pursed her lips.

"Yes, youre really amazing. I dont understand at all. A girl like you should have had a proper education, but it doesnt seem like you have," Xiaoxiao mocked.

Long Youyou frowned. She couldnt believe it. Was this a provocation? A n.o.body like Xiaoxiao, who only managed to stand here due to chance, was speaking to her about proper education? In front of her elders and those at the same level, Long Youyou was modest, polite, conscientious, dedicated, and well-liked. But why did she have to be polite towards an insignificant opponent?

"You dont want your tongue anymore, do you?" The absence of her lifebound beasts demonstrated her contempt for Xiaoxiao. She didnt even bother pulling out her weapon, but struck with her hand, aiming to slap Xiaoxiao.
