A single sentence from Jun Xiaoyao caused the uproar of the entire crowd to come to an abrupt halt!
Everyone was stunned, looking at Jun Xiaoyao in a daze.
How big must one's heart be to be able to say such a thing?
Rejecting a princess of a sub-ultimate power was one thing.
But to actually say something like that.
Many people found it inconceivable.
Was Princess Huo Linger not beautiful enough?
Or was her status not noble enough?
Such an attractive young lady invited him, yet she was still rejected.
"Junior, you..."
The expressions of several Fire Clan members, as well as that Fire Clan Elder, changed, and their eyes flashed.
In the Void Realm, the temperature seemed to rise, becoming incredibly scorching.
Jun Xiaoyao stood indifferently, his expression unchanged.
However, before the few Fire Clan Cultivators could get angry.
Princess Huo Linger's red eyes brightened as she said.
"Such personality, this Princess likes it!"
The entire crowd was speechless once again.
Is this the power of good looks?
It could actually make the little Fire Clan Princess ignore such sarcastic words.
If it were someone else, I reckon she wouldn't have such a good attitude.
Many male Prodigies looked at Jun Xiaoyao; envy and jealousy were not enough to describe their feelings.
They only hated that their parents' genes weren't good enough; why didn't they give birth to them looking a bit more handsome?
Although Cultivators can change their appearance to a certain extent.
But this innate, perfect appearance and temperament cannot be achieved through Acquired cosmetic adjustments.
Jun Xiaoyao was also silent.
It wasn't that he was deliberately putting on an act; he was simply telling the truth.
It really wasn't any kind of sarcasm.
Given his status, for this little Fire Clan Princess to be his maid was truly just barely acceptable; it would depend on his mood.
Seeing Princess Huo Linger's attitude, the Fire Clan Elder couldn't really lose his temper.
"Then let's hold the arena tournament first," Princess Huo Linger said, waving her slender hand.
She wasn't in a hurry; in her heart, she had already decided that she must get her hands on this handsome Young Master.
Even if it were just to keep him as a vase, he was pleasing to the eye and made one feel happy.
Next, the arena battle began.
Strictly speaking, it is usually after the arena battle that the various powers of the Shanhai Star Realm select followers and potential seeds.
After all, not everyone is like Princess Huo Linger, where looks are greater than strength.
Generally speaking, looks are just a bonus; strength is the hard truth.
And the gazes of many people present quietly fell on Jun Xiaoyao.
Jun Xiaoyao's appearance was unparalleled, his temperament outstanding.
But no one could fathom his cultivation level; they only felt that he looked somewhat extraordinary.
However, a feeling is just a feeling; strength must be proven through real combat.
Therefore, everyone present was very curious: what exactly was the strength of this Young Master, who looked as immortal as if in white robes?
If he were just purely handsome, that would be one thing, and the crowd could accept it.
If he were handsome and also strong, that would make people jealous to the point of disintegration.
On the other side, Shen Cangming clenched his fists, his gaze also directed toward Jun Xiaoyao.
He wanted to know what the true strength of this white-robed Young Master, whom even Elder Hei thought was not simple, actually was.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In the Void Realm, the sound of wind breaking rang out.
One Prodigy after another stepped onto the arena.
This arena battle was a melee, not one-on-one.
The arena area was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Usually, it was a melee of several thousand people, and only those who remained at the end could catch the eyes of the various powers.
There might be all kinds of luck and coincidences involved, and perhaps sometimes it wasn't fair.
But luck is also a part of strength.
Shen Cangming, unable to wait, was the first to jump onto the arena.
He wanted to display his own strength; perhaps he could then attract Princess Huo Linger's attention.
After Princess Huo Linger appeared, Shen Cangming only wanted to join the Fire Clan.
This was the fastest way to improve himself.
If he were lucky enough to be favored by Princess Huo Linger and become a follower, that would be an even greater leap to the heavens.
Clearly, the other Prodigies present had the same thoughts as Shen Cangming.
And just as Ji Mingshuang was about to step onto the arena.
Jun Xiaoyao called out to her.
"You might want to step onto the stage in the second round; if that Shen Cangming targets you, there's no guarantee he won't use some underhanded means in the shadows," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Although he had previously given Ji Mingshuang a talisman condensed from his mana.
But it was clearly not to be used now.
"Understood," Ji Mingshuang nodded slightly.
At this moment, thousands of Prodigies were already standing on the arena.
All gazes subconsciously converged on Jun Xiaoyao.
Including Princess Huo Linger!
She actually also wanted to know what the true strength of this peerless, elegant white-robed Young Master was.
Although she didn't care too much.
But if his talent and strength were also not bad, that would be even more perfect and would make her even happier.
However, to everyone's surprise.
Jun Xiaoyao stood where he was and did not step onto the arena.
"What is going on? Is he not going to step onto the arena?"
"Coming to Feitian City but not stepping onto the arena—is he feeling insecure?"
Some Prodigies whispered.
Jun Xiaoyao completely ignored them.
Ji Mingshuang, standing to the side, secretly snorted coldly.
Jun Xiaoyao had told her from the beginning that he would not participate in the arena battle.
Because he wasn't here to join any power in the first place.
Now, these people mistakenly thought that Jun Xiaoyao was feeling insecure, lacked strength, and dared not step onto the stage.
Only Ji Mingshuang knew just how terrifying this peerless Young Master, who had walked out of the chaos green lotus, truly was.
That was an existence who could slap a Quasi-Emperor Realm great demon to death with one palm!
On the arena, Shen Cangming saw this scene and also snorted coldly in his heart.
In terms of looks, perhaps Jun Xiaoyao did indeed crush everything.
But what truly reflected value was talent and strength.
Shen Cangming did not know Jun Xiaoyao's strength.
Even Elder Hei inside his body could not probe Jun Xiaoyao's background.
Jun Xiaoyao possessed the Heaven-Stealing and Sun-Changing Technique; if he was unwilling, no one could probe him in the slightest.
"Elder Hei, could it be that you overestimated this person?" Shen Cangming thought to himself.
"This Emperor's judgment will not be wrong. In short, this child has great secrets," Elder Hei said.
Shen Cangming shook his head secretly and did not pay attention to Elder Hei's words.
Next, the first arena tournament began.
Thousands of Prodigies in a melee; such a scene could be called spectacular.
If it weren't for the formation patterns carved on the arena and the Restrictions carved in the Void Realm.
The fluctuations alone would have been enough to submerge Feitian City.
And in the melee, there were indeed Prodigies who stood out.
Among them, the most eye-catching was naturally Shen Cangming.
His performance made people's eyes light up.
"Oh?"
Teng Wu of the Great Sun Divine Vine Palace looked at Shen Cangming, his eyes brightening.
"This person actually has some substance."
Teng Wu was somewhat moved.
On the arena, a curve appeared at the corner of Shen Cangming's mouth.
He was fairly satisfied with his own performance.
He scanned with his gaze and discovered that the Prodigies of the various powers had all noticed him.
But when his gaze turned to Princess Huo Linger.
The smile on his face stiffened.
In fact, he mainly wanted to attract Princess Huo Linger's gaze.
But Princess Huo Linger still did not look at him even once.
Instead, she was still looking at Jun Xiaoyao below the arena.
This made Shen Cangming's eyes turn dark as water, and he felt as if a fire of resentment was burning in his heart.
Even though he performed so excellently, Princess Huo Linger still disdained to pay him any attention!
