Rong Chao saw that no one else was making a move, so he strode forward and sat on the mat closest to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
Ouyang Xue glanced at Bai Ying and Jingkong beside her and said, “I don’t want to sit with these smelly men.”
“Fairy Bai Ying and Little Master Jingkong, how about we sit in the second row?”
Bai Ying nodded. She didn’t really care where she sat, but since someone invited her, she agreed.
Jingkong clasped his hands together and said, “Amitabha Buddha, well done! This is fine!”
“Fairy Ouyang, you’re making me sad!” In the crowd, Qing Ji from the Illusion Dance Pavilion said with a face full of grievance.
“I’m also a woman, but you only invited those two and didn’t even look at me.”
“You’re making me feel really heartbroken!”
Ouyang Xue replied indifferently, “If you feel it’s unfair, you can spar with them. The winner sits, the loser leaves.”
Qing Ji snorted, her large steamed buns jiggling up and down. “Bai Ying has so many protectors, I wouldn’t dare provoke her.”
“As for Little Master Jingkong… I can’t beat him either!”
“My charm arts are useless against someone who’s taken vows.”
“Forget it, I’ll just sit in the third row. It’s not much different anyway.”
She walked forward on her own, swaying her hips as she sat down gracefully.
Her perfect curves made Tuoba Lie and the others sneak a few more glances.
“I’m not picky, I’ll just sit anywhere…” Lin Wuji from the body refinement family smiled and immediately sat down next to Qing Ji.
At this moment, the only ones left were the Shangguan siblings, the Crown Prince of Kingdom Qian Tuoba Lie, the prodigy of the Five Elements Sect Wang Sheng, the prodigy of the Heavenly Dao Sect Zhou Tong, and Fang Ling.
There were only four seats left, but six people remained!
“Let’s sit in the front too!” Shangguan Beifeng said calmly, leading his sister and Fang Ling forward.
“Hold on!” Tuoba Lie stopped them.
“Shangguan Beifeng, who are these two beside you?” he asked.
“My sister Shangguan Haiyue, and my friend Ling Fang,” Shangguan Beifeng replied flatly.
Wang Sheng from the Five Elements Sect also approached, smiling. “Beifeng, that’s not very considerate.”
“I acknowledge your strength, so you can have one of the remaining seats.”
“But your sister and friend…”
Zhou Tong from the Heavenly Dao Sect looked at Shangguan Haiyue and chuckled, “I despise people who don’t know their place.”
“Although anyone who pays can participate in the Dragon Arena Dao Conference, the ten seats closest to the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele are always reserved for prodigies!”
“Little girl, you’ve never shown your face before. Is today your debut?”
“Claiming to be a prodigy right from the start, your Shangguan family is really something!”
Then he looked at Fang Ling. “And you, hiding your face with a mask in front of us.”
“Do you think you’re worthy to sit with us?”
Zhou Tong’s words seemed to be aimed at those who were eager to approach, making them shrink back and not dare to move forward.
Shangguan Haiyue rolled up her sleeves and laughed, “You look down on me, huh?”
“Come on! Let me show you what I’ve got.”
“I’ll take this seat for sure!”
Shangguan Beifeng stepped forward, shielding his sister.
He knew Fang Ling’s strength was not inferior to theirs, and his sister was no longer the same as before.
With the three of them, they had a chance even if they clashed with Tuoba Lie’s group.
“Interesting! Then I will…” Zhou Tong chuckled, ready to make a move.
But at that moment, a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
Zhou Tong looked down, his face changing dramatically. “So fast!”
“Who are you?” He retreated quickly, distancing himself from Fang Ling.
Tuoba Lie and Wang Sheng were also shocked. They knew they couldn’t match Fang Ling’s speed.
Zhou Tong no longer dared to underestimate him and was about to use his divine power to suppress Fang Ling.
But in the next second, Fang Ling appeared behind him and punched him in the back.
Zhou Tong felt like his body was about to explode, and he flew out, crashing into the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
The crowd was in an uproar, even Rong Chao’s face changed as he turned to look at Fang Ling.
The elders from various major forces outside the arena were also shocked.
Zhou Tong’s strength was not weak among the prodigies, but he was easily beaten.
“Who is this person?” The elder from the Heavenly Dao Sect, Gu Tainiu, asked Prince Rongkang.
Prince Rongkang frowned and said, “I don’t know either, but he wasn’t invited by our Great Zhou royal family. He just paid to enter.”
“Elder Shangguan? This person seems to be related to your Shangguan family. Do you know who he is?” He looked at Shangguan Qiu.
Shangguan Qiu was equally surprised and replied, “I don’t know his background. He only said he’s a casual cultivator.”
“Our young master met him on the way here and they hit it off.”
“Interesting. Just based on his physical strength, he’s not inferior to Lin Wuji from the body refinement family,” Prince Rongkang laughed.
At the seat, Purple Bamboo smiled faintly but said nothing.
…
In the Dragon Arena, under the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele, Zhou Tong was stunned by Fang Ling’s punch.
When he came to his senses, he felt humiliated in front of the world’s heroes and was furious.
“You really want to fight me?”
“Fine, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
He leaped into the air, and a vision appeared behind him.
This vision was called “Sunrise Over the Sea of Clouds,” a magnificent scene of the sun rising over a vast sea of clouds.
Among the prodigies of the Southern Dipper Region, only Zhou Tong had an innate vision, which was the foundation of his ability to compete with other prodigies.
Innate visions are inborn, cannot be learned later, and cannot be transferred to others.
Depending on the vision’s intent, they have different effects.
But without exception, these innate visions’ power and effects are stronger than the top divine powers of major forces!
The grandeur of “Sunrise Over the Sea of Clouds” moved everyone present.
Even Rong Chao couldn’t help but sigh, “Such divine power, even I must go all out.”
“This is the power of an innate vision? Truly terrifying. This person is not just boasting,” Ouyang Xue thought.
The Shangguan siblings were worried. The vision’s suppression was aimed solely at Fang Ling, who would bear this terrifying divine power alone.
Outside the arena, the elder from the Heavenly Dao Sect, Gu Tainiu, looked at Prince Rongkang and smiled, “Your Highness, please don’t be offended.”
“Our sect’s disciple has always had a bad temper, but…”
“But it was this person who struck first. Zhou Tong…”
Prince Rongkang said solemnly, “Even so, using a killing move is too much.”
This was, after all, the territory of the Great Zhou. Gu Tainiu sighed inwardly and said, “In that case, I’ll make him stop.”
He was about to intervene and suppress Zhou Tong.
But at that moment, Fang Ling moved first, shooting out like a bullet, still with just one punch.
This punch was accompanied by a rumbling sound, like thunder. The space where the punch passed undulated, and black ripples spread out.
With a loud bang, Zhou Tong’s innate vision shattered instantly.
He was struck by the backlash and fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood.
“How could this be…” Zhou Tong’s eyes were red as he looked at Fang Ling in fear.
The crowd inside and outside the arena was in an uproar. The elder from the Heavenly Dao Sect’s face darkened. Zhou Tong’s miserable defeat brought shame to the sect!
With just one punch, Fang Ling shattered the innate vision!
…
In the Dragon Arena, Fang Ling said calmly, “Let’s not waste any more time. Just sit down.”
He walked forward and sat next to Lin Wuji.
“Brother, how did you train your body? You’re even stronger than me!” Lin Wuji turned his head, staring at him in amazement.
Fang Ling ignored him and looked ahead, preparing to study the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
But the people sitting in front of him blocked the bottom of the stele.
He had to get up and walk straight to the chief seat where Crown Prince Rong Chao was sitting.
The two of them locked eyes, neither saying a word.
After a moment, Crown Prince Rong Chao silently stepped back, giving up his seat to Fang Ling.
Fang Ling had easily shattered Zhou Tong’s innate vision with a simple punch. Even Rong Chao didn’t dare to fight him rashly.
Although his Emperor’s Body was powerful, it had a flaw.
If he lost to someone of the same age, it would greatly affect him, causing his emperor’s aura to dissipate.
So he only fought when he was absolutely confident of winning.
But it wasn’t that he avoided fighting. When the fighting spirit arose in his heart, there would eventually be a showdown!
After Crown Prince Rong Chao stepped back, Fang Ling sat down, occupying the best position to comprehend the Heavenly Dao Divine Stele.
Sitting right behind him was Bai Ying.
Although Fang Ling had changed his aura and concealed his face, this back…
A skilled artist is also good at observing people. She had secretly drawn several portraits of Fang Ling.
So Fang Ling’s figure was etched in her mind.
Yesterday in the corridor, she had found him familiar, which was why she had looked back.
And now, staring at him from such a close distance, she was certain.
“It’s you, it must be you!” She felt a surge of joy in her heart.
