Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 50: Shang Clan’s Young Emperor, The Princess Wants to Form a Marriage

“The Royal Azure Dynasty’s Crown Prince Gu Changge can’t even take a single strike from my sword, and you’re down after a strike at half-strength. No, that’s not right, maybe Gu Changge was the same and can’t even take half a strike from my sword as well.” Chu Kuangren said childishly.

Back then when he defeated Gu Changge, he had only just broken through and reached the early stages of Nascent Soul Realm cultivation. Now he was at the completed stage of Nascent Soul Realm cultivation. If he were to fight Gu Changge again, then he would definitely defeat him easier than last time.

Gu Changfeng’s face went pale in shame as he struggled to refute. If it were not for Princess Linglong’s sudden intervention, he would not have been able to take the full blow of that sword attack.

When the other Sky-prides heard of this, their expressions did not look good either.

Word said that Gu Changge consecutively defeated the six great sage orthodoxies. Even if it were true, he was already not someone worth mentioning in the eyes of Chu Kuangren.

What would they be, then?

Some of them were not even as strong as Gu Changge.

In the eyes of Chu Kuangren, that would mean that they paled significantly in comparison!

This was a world where great battles and conflict were waged.

It was supposed to be a clash of glorious battles between all Sky-prides from around the world.

However, why did they all had the feeling that the stage now belonged to Chu Kuangren alone?

“How can such a person appear in this era? What’s the use of the other remaining Sky-Prides in the world then?” One of the Sky-pride said in an unsatisfied tone.

It could be seen that Chu Kuangren had too big of an impact on everyone.

“My honored guests, I apologize for delaying this banquet, so everyone, please leave before me. I have some matters to discuss with brother Chu here.”

Princess Linglong suddenly announced.

When she blocked and withstood Chu Kuangren’s attack, she was extremely calm.

At that moment, everyone in the crowd no longer saw her as an ordinary princess. Instead, she was a top-notch Sky-pride!

She could even be stronger than Gu Changge!

The crowd of Sky-prides who attended left with mixed feelings, each of them buried in their own thoughts.

“Brother Chu, I’ll leave you be with the princess to chat.” Li Xingchen winked at Chu Kuangren and smiled.

“Third younger brother, please leave us be as well.” Princess Linglong said.

Gu Changfeng was hesitant.

“Leave us be, now.” Gu Changfeng only left when Princess Linglong repeated with a more serious tone.

Not long after, only Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, and Princess Linglong were left.

Princess Linglong took a look at Lan Yu, not letting her leave, and spoke to Chu Kuangren, “If I do not block that attack earlier, my third younger brother will be injured to the point of dying. Did you really intend to kill him?”

The air around them carried a certain chill.

Chu Kuangren casually replied. “If that is the case, what would you do?”

“That’s not true, you were forcing me to make a move.”

“Since her Royal Highness has been messing with me all this time, I cannot stand by idly and do nothing. You see, I’m not someone who likes being manipulated by others.”

Chu Kuangren had noticed very early on that Princess Linglong was messing with him, purposefully speaking well to him and sometimes with lust as well. She was biased against him to manipulate the other Sky-prides’ jealousy against him and cause him trouble. How could he not do anything in retaliation to that?

‘If you mess with me, I would definitely return the favor.’

Upon seeing Princess Linglong, he used his Eye of Revelation to go through her stats and information at the first instance. She was at the Paradise Realm cultivation level, and her battle strength was stronger than Gu Changge, Fangtian, and the others. She was sufficiently strong to block that attack of his earlier on.

“If I do not do anything, or if I do not react in time, then doesn’t that mean my third younger brother would have died by your hand?” Princess Linglong uttered.

“That was my attack, so naturally I have confidence in controlling its power output.”

Chu Kuangren was very confident in his Sword Dao.

Even if Princess Linglong were to not react earlier on, he could also control the intensity of the sword beam in time to at least guarantee that Gu Changfeng would not be injured to the point of dying.

“Alright, then let’s talk about the Princess who’s now scheming against me repeatedly. Is this all to take revenge for your elder brother, the Crown Prince?”

“That wasn’t scheming against you, I’m merely just probing your strength.”

“It better be the case.”

“Let’s discuss more inside.”

The three of them entered another palace hall, where Princess Linglong then sat down and immediately asked, “What do you think of me?”

Chu Kuangren froze for a short while. “Your Royal Highness, are you intending to ask my hand for marriage? Sorry to disappoint, but I really am not interested in you.”

His words made Princess Linglong stretch her brows, speechless. Not interested?

‘D*mn, I can have beauty, wealth, power, and any talents I desire I already have, yet there’s still some guy who’s still not interested in me?’

Princess Linglong, who had been accustomed to praise and kindness from everything under the moon and stars felt aggrieved inside, but she did not let it show. Like nothing happened, she then said, “Then let me ask another question, what do you think the others are here for?”

“Most of them came for the power, wealth, and positions of authority, but mainly to lust after your body. While some of them pay no heed to even that, and instead are mainly here to lust after your body.”

“That is ... Quite straightforward of you.”

Power, wealth, positions of authority, resources. Those were the main reasons a large portion of the crowd came and attended the martial arts competition to ask her for her hand in marriage. However, cultivators from sage orthodoxies like Fangtian and Lin Batian did not really lack much of those.

What they were here for was to lust after the body of Princess Linglong.

Frankly speaking, they were after the Godly Essence within the Godly Daoist physique!

“Correct, the Godly Essence within the Godly Daoist physique is a widely sought after treasure by all cultivators around the world. Because of this physique that I possess, I’ve even become a target of a Young Emperor.” Princess Linglong said.

Chu Kuangren’s expression changed slightly. “Young Emperor?”

“The Young Emperor of the Shang clan from the Scarlet Phoenix Domain! To seek the power of the Shang clan to strengthen the country’s might, my father the emperor has already promised my hand in marriage to the Young Emperor of the Shang clan!”

Young Emperor, short for someone who would eventually become an Emperor level cultivator.

Every Young Emperor in existence was a peerless Sky-pride with superior combat power. Compared to people like Gu Changge and Fangtian, they were leagues above in terms of strength.

There were a total of eight known Young Emperors on the Firmament Star. They were located in the four regions of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Scarlet Phoenix, and Black Warrior domains respectively.

“The Young Emperor of the Shang clan sounds very powerful and strong. Then again, what does this have anything to do with me?” Chu Kuangren asked.

“The Shang clan’s Young Emperor is a devoted Daoist. To him, I’m just another tool to be utilized to help him in his cultivation. Once I’ve exhausted my use, I’ll be tossed aside and discarded on his whims.” Princess Linglong replied in a resentful tone.

Chu Kuangren was silent as he listened attentively.

“I’m not willing to be such a tool, so I organize this martial arts contest for marriage in hopes of finding a Sky-pride that can deal with the Shang clan’s Young Emperor. That person I’ve chosen is you, Chu Kuangren!”

“The last time, I purposely messed with you by using others to confirm your strength. Now it seems I have not chosen wrongly.”

“Chu Kuangren, I want you to defeat everyone in the contest, including the Shang clan’s Young Emperor. I want you to properly and officially become my consort!

“This will be a collaboration between us!”

Chu Kuangren quietly listened to everything Princess Linglong had to say.

He understood now.

Princess Linglong was an independent lady who was dissatisfied with the marriage arrangements made for her. Wanting to hide it from others, she planned to find a marriage partner herself, which ended up being him.

“I’m sorry to disappoint, but I refuse to help. Firstly, I have the same amount of power, authority, and wealth that you possess. I also guess this so-called title of consort you want is just a guise for formality, meaning you won’t even let me touch a single hair on you right?

“Secondly, I have no reason to get on the wrong side of a Young Emperor just because of you.”

Chu Kuangren was not foolish.

That title of a consort was something that was not the slightest bit attractive to him. The only one who would reap all the benefits would be Princess Linglong herself.

“So you’re afraid of the Shang clan’s Young Emperor?”

“Too bad provocation does not work on me.” Chu Kuangren raised his brows. The Shang clan’s Young Emperor? He did not know of the strength of that person for sure, but unfortunately, he was never afraid of anyone before.

He could already kill an Honorable Supreme, so what was the big deal of a so-called Young Emperor?

“Three requests. If you promise to help me, I shall fulfill any three requests that you wish. I’m her royal highness Princess Linglong, I possess the Godly Daoist physique and have achieved many great feats of brilliance. I can surely be of help to you in the future.”

“If it’s something that even I cannot accomplish, then you won’t even be able to do it either. Lan Yu, let’s go.” Chu Kuangren turned and left.

Upon seeing the figure of his turned back, Princess Linglong gritted her teeth. “Don’t you want the Godly Essence? If you agree to become my consort, I can promise to offer you the Godly Essence and help you achieve great heights in your path of Daoist cultivation.”

That was the last and most precious item she could offer.

In her opinion, it was better to give it to Chu Kuangren than the Shang clan’s Young Emperor. At least Chu Kuangren’s looks met her requirements.

“I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’ve already said that I’m not interested in you. I, Chu Kuangren, can achieve great feats in the Supreme path of Daoist cultivation without needing favors like these!”

After saying that, Chu Kuangren left without ever turning back.

Princess Linglong was left alone with an unhappy and unsatisfied look on her face.
