Chapter 1482: I Can Let You Have The First Three Moves
The 10 geniuses were completely smitten by Devil Concubine. Of course, a few of them had stronger willpower and were much calmer than the others. At their level, the moment they entered the God Realm, they could marry even God Realm cultivators. Devil Concubine was someone with the potential to enter the God Realm and was indeed an optimal partner for them, but they wouldn't lose their composure over her.
Devil Concubine sat down outside the ring and did not spare any of the 10 geniuses a glance. Instead, she only looked in one direction with an expectant expression. She was very confident in Xiang Shaoyun. Regardless of whether it was 10 geniuses or 100 geniuses, she was confident Xiang Shaoyun could prevail over them all.
Soon, Xiang Shaoyun arrived with Purple Lightning Marquis, instantly causing sounds of discussion to erupt. Both Xiang Shaoyun and Purple Lightning Marquis looked incredibly young and handsome. In fact, both surpassed the 10 geniuses in terms of looks and temperament, like two bright stars overshadowing the various stars around them.
"Which of the two is Xiang Shaoyun? Both are so dazzling."
"Probably the one in black? He feels real. The one in purple is too incorporeal, so it's probably not him."
"That's right. The one in purple is Xiang Shaoyun's dao protector. If you look at who among the two is walking in front, you'll know. Xiang Shaoyun seems even more outstanding than the 10 geniuses."
"Can someone this young actually kill Great Saints? It's unbelievable."
"He has the looks to be a good match for our young lady, but I wonder if he also has the strength."
...
Xiang Shaoyun's arrival caused quite a scene. As someone who had forged a god body, he was already a step ahead of the other geniuses. With his good looks, he almost seemed perfect.
Devil Concubine looked at Xiang Shaoyun with infatuation, wanting nothing more than to charge forward, hug him, and declare him hers. But at this time, her great grandfather and father appeared at the same time, forcing her to suppress her urges.
"The Darkdevil Sect is honored that all of you are here to ask for Devil Concubine's hand in marriage. She already has someone in her mind, but since everyone is so outstanding, we can't bring ourselves to refuse all of you. Thus, we have prepared a match here. The one to defeat Devil Concubine's lover, Xiang Shaoyun, will be selected as the Darkdevil Sect's son-in-law. This is our way of giving all of you a chance. Of course, you are also free to give up if you do not want to participate in the challenge," said Mo Xuwu.
The geniuses were already aware of the rules of the match so nobody said anything.
Meanwhile, Yan Lie was losing his patience. He pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Xiang Shaoyun, get up here. I'll defeat you in three moves!"
Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything. He calmly walked up onto the ring, looked at Yan Lie with a smile, and said, "With the little bit of strength you have, I'll let you have the first three moves."
"How arrogant! Sure, let me have the first three moves if you really have the guts," said Yan Lie.
"No problem. Bring it on," said Xiang Shaoyun.
The moment Xiang Shaoyun agreed, someone sneered, "So it's just an egotist. Someone like this won't amount to much in the future."
The person who had spoken was the man with purple hair. Clad in a purple battle robe with a belt made of jiao tendon and a pair of boots with lightning markings, his entire person radiated a valiant aura.
"Maybe Yan Lie is really nothing for him?" said a different genius.
He was a tall and sturdy man with the most ordinary looks among the geniuses. However, he had a steadfast look and an extremely muscular body. His revealed arms were covered with extremely explosive veins. With one look, one could see that he was someone with great physical strength.
At this time, Yan Lie attacked. In fact, his declaration that he would defeat Xiang Shaoyun within three moves was his trick to make Xiang Shaoyun say something arrogant, giving himself the initiative. One ought to admit that not one of these geniuses could be underestimated.
Infernal Sky!
Yan Lie gathered a massive amount of flame energy around him and seemed to transform into a god of flame. The orange flame around him looked different than a normal flame. It was an orangeheart flame, a high-tier flame that could burn even a Saint to death. As he activated the flame with all his strength, he unleashed it upon Xiang Shaoyun.
The flame hot enough to evaporate oceans covered half the ring, making it impossible for Xiang Shaoyun to escape. As impressive as the technique seemed, Yan Lie was only using about half his full strength.
"Let me see if someone who had slain Great Saints like you is worthy of my full strength," muttered Yan Lie.
The raging inferno covered the sky, unleashing so much destruction that all the onlookers were alarmed and fearful. As for the other geniuses, they still looked calm and collected, as though what Yan Lie just did was nothing special at all.
With Xiang Shaoyun's current strength, he did not fear such flame. The flame energy he had absorbed from the sea of fiery dragon clouds was even more powerful than the flame he was currently facing. Thus, he would stick to his words of letting Yan Lie have the first three moves. He wasn't being conceited. Rather, Yan Lie truly wasn't strong enough to warrant his caution.
Xiang Shaoyun stood there as he welcomed the attack. Even so, the flame was unable to deal any damage to him. As for the flaming bird Yan Lie launched toward him, he easily avoided the birds. In his eyes, Yan Lie's attacks were too slow.
When the dust settled, Yan Lie's expression turned gloomy as he saw that Xiang Shaoyun was completely unharmed. He did not say anything and created a ball of fire before launching another attack.
Double Luan!
Instantly, Yan Lie sent two even more destructive fiery luan birds flying toward Xiang Shaoyun. He was finally attacking with all his strength, unleashing enough destruction to contend against Great Saints.
A few of the 10 geniuses looked alarmed; even they would have a hard time against such an attack. Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun merely stepped through the opening of the attack, suffering no damage at all. With a look of disdain, he said, "If this is all you have, you might as well surrender."
