Actually, strictly speaking, Shen Cangming did not look bad; he could be considered a famous handsome man in the Feiyu Star System.
It was just a pity that in front of Jun Xiaoyao, no man was qualified to call himself handsome.
Perhaps if Jun Xiaoyao were not here, Shen Cangming's performance would have made Princess Huo Linger take another look.
But now, clearly, Princess Huo Linger's attention was entirely on Jun Xiaoyao.
Bang!
Shen Cangming fiercely blasted a Prodigy in front of him away, causing his bones to shatter and his internal organs to be pulverized.
The first arena battle ended.
Shen Cangming was one of the few people still standing on the arena.
And the others had, more or less, sustained some serious injuries.
Shen Cangming, however, did not have any major injuries.
Apart from his own strength, this was naturally also due to Elder Hei secretly protecting him.
With Jun Xiaoyao's keen Divine Soul perception, he could detect the Soul entity inside Shen Cangming.
But the others could not detect it.
Therefore, Shen Cangming was undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence.
He was also qualified to be fought over.
And just as some forces were preparing to speak.
Shen Cangming made a decision in his heart and directly cupped his hands toward the Fire Clan side, saying.
"I am bold enough to ask, am I qualified to become a follower of Your Highness and join the Fire Clan?"
At this, the whole scene went quiet.
Many people were surprised.
Usually, people would accept being selected; no one expected Shen Cangming to request it proactively.
However, the crowd thought about it, and if it were them, they would likely make the same decision.
Because given Shen Cangming's performance, he was indeed qualified to join the Fire Clan.
That Fire Clan Elder also said to Princess Huo Linger, "Young Miss, this youth's performance is indeed good; he is considered excellent in our Fire Clan and has potential."
In the eyes of this Fire Clan Elder, Shen Cangming could even be considered an uncut jade.
He was gold panned out from the sand.
However, Princess Huo Linger was uninterested and had no reaction.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Seeing this, Shen Cangming gritted his teeth again and couldn't help but say.
"Your Highness, this world is realistic. Appearances are just superficial; only strength is everything!"
His words clearly had an implication.
One cannot just look at a face when judging people; strength is the truth.
However.
Princess Huo Linger frowned, and a faint cold look appeared on her fair and delicate face.
He hadn't even joined the Fire Clan yet, and he was already preaching to her?
Overstepping one's bounds; this was the greatest taboo.
Not to mention, Princess Huo Linger was the youngest daughter of the Fire Clan Saint Lord and had always been pampered.
Who would dare to preach to her?
It could be said that it would have been fine if Shen Cangming hadn't said that.
Once he said it, it had the opposite effect, making Princess Huo Linger feel disgusted.
This was the disadvantage of not understanding a woman's heart; one wouldn't know which sentence would offend a young lady.
Princess Huo Linger casually took out a spiritual fruit to eat, ignoring Shen Cangming completely, and didn't even respond to him.
Disregard is the greatest insult!
The Fire Clan Elder also gave a wry smile; he was already used to Princess Huo Linger's willfulness.
But since Princess Huo Linger was unwilling, he naturally wouldn't say anything more, nor would he force Shen Cangming to stay.
At this point, Shen Cangming had undoubtedly become a clown.
Even for the others present, the looks they gave Shen Cangming were full of mockery.
Human nature is just like that; what one cannot obtain, one also does not want others to obtain.
Shen Cangming felt deep humiliation, and a baleful aura rose in his heart.
Even Shen Xin, who admired and adored Shen Cangming so much, had a dazed expression at this moment.
This cousin who was originally tall and magnificent in her heart now seemed to have such humble and ridiculous moments.
At this time, Teng Wu of the Great Sun Divine Vine Palace spoke up.
"Why not become my follower and join the Great Sun Divine Vine Palace."
Shen Cangming took a deep breath, suppressed the humiliation in his heart, and agreed.
Shen Cangming, settling for the next best thing, joined the Great Sun Divine Vine Palace.
Next was the second arena competition.
After what happened with Shen Cangming.
Everyone now understood.
No matter how stunning one's performance was, it was difficult to catch Princess Huo Linger's eye.
Her eyes were only on Jun Xiaoyao now.
And what surprised everyone was.
Jun Xiaoyao still did not take the stage for the second round!
"This... is he really not planning to make a move?"
Many people were surprised.
A hint of surprise also flashed in Princess Huo Linger's glazed red eyes.
Although she had already set her heart on Jun Xiaoyao.
But to be honest, if Jun Xiaoyao's strength was not bad, he would be even more perfect in her heart.
But perhaps in this world, there is ultimately no such thing as perfection.
Ji Mingshuang also leaped onto the arena.
The second arena battle began.
And Ji Mingshuang's strength was not weaker than Shen Cangming's.
So her performance would naturally not be worse than Shen Cangming's.
Some Prodigies on the arena communicated via Divine Thought in secret.
They felt that they could not let Ji Mingshuang perform as outstandingly as Shen Cangming did before.
Otherwise, wouldn't they look dull and lusterless?
Therefore, a tacit understanding was forming.
First, a few people joined forces to attack Ji Mingshuang.
Then it was a dozen people attacking together.
In the end, a full hundred people, openly or secretly, were suppressing Ji Mingshuang.
Even if it seemed like there was no targeting on the surface, they would secretly use underhanded moves to attack.
At this point, no matter how strong Ji Mingshuang was, it was impossible for her to withstand such great pressure.
She bit her red lips tightly.
She was devoted to Cultivating; only by going to the Shanhai Star Realm could she advance further.
So she was holding on stubbornly.
Cough...
Another underhanded move came attacking.
A trace of blood coughed out from the corner of Ji Mingshuang's lips.
Her situation was very bad; she had sustained some injuries.
Although she had the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, which allowed her to break and then stand.
But she had just undergone a transformation under Jun Xiaoyao's guidance, so naturally, she could not make another Breakthrough in such a short time.
Therefore, the current situation was extremely critical.
Seeing this scene, Jun Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
If it were only a few people targeting her, that would be normal.
But the current situation was a bit excessive.
Jun Xiaoyao believed that Ji Mingshuang might still be connected to some Karma.
She could not stop here.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaoyao also took a step forward.
And at the same time.
The mana fluctuations of a dozen people converged into a stream of light, blasting toward Ji Mingshuang.
Just as Ji Mingshuang was about to resist it head-on.
A white-clothed figure appeared in front of her.
"Young Master Jun!"
Ji Mingshuang was extremely surprised.
That surging torrent of mana, the moment it approached within three zhang of Jun Xiaoyao, instantly dissolved into nothingness, as if it had never appeared.
Jun Xiaoyao's sudden appearance stunned everyone.
Especially when they saw that the torrent of mana disappeared bizarrely in front of Jun Xiaoyao.
They felt a thud in their hearts.
The previous guess seemed to be wrong.
"You have gone a bit too far."
Jun Xiaoyao's voice fell faintly, and then he casually flicked his sleeve!
Boom!
Like a heavenly thunder triggering a terrestrial fire, the entire arena's Law power boiled, and the Void Realm exploded!
Those thousands of Prodigies were all blasted away, vomiting blood, with broken bones and tendons, in a miserable state!
Those with slightly lower cultivation had their bodies explode directly, blood raining everywhere, with only their Primordial Spirits escaping, fleeing in panic!
This was an indiscriminate attack; there was no distinction; all the Prodigies participating in the arena competition were swept away!
Not only that, even the Formation on the arena floor and the Restriction in the Void Realm could not withstand the power of Jun Xiaoyao's sleeve flick and were directly destroyed.
The huge arena instantly collapsed into countless fragments, falling down from the Void Realm!
The roaring sound spread across the wild, and the entire Feitian City was shaking non-stop at this moment, as if it could not withstand this fluctuation!
