The entire venue was silent.
All present were the geniuses of the Imperial Capital.
The lowest level of cultivation was the Battle King Level, and some had even stepped into the Saint Realm.
However, their ages were almost all above twenty-five.
Now, seeing Xu Nian, an eighteen-year-old young man, suddenly burst out with the cultivation of a Nine-star Battle Saint,
and with such high proficiency in the realm of insight, they were both shocked and admiring.
"This Xu Nian is simply demonic. No wonder he could become the Divine River Palace Master at such a young age. When I was his age, I was only at the Battle General Level," Leng Wuqing couldn't help but say.
His tone was filled with helplessness and self-mockery.
He was now thirty years old, with the cultivation of an Eight-star War Saint.
As the number one genius of the Leng Family, he had always thought himself highly gifted.
But compared to Xu Nian, he felt he was leagues behind.
"Sister, you have good taste. Although he is a bit young, he is definitely a perfect match for you. He was willing to make a scene at the Crown Prince Palace for you, so he must truly care for you. I'll tell father about this when we get back," Leng Wuqing said.
Leng Yanran was his cousin.
But, since they had grown up together from childhood, Leng Wuqing always considered Leng Yanran as his own sister.
So, he cared deeply about Leng Yanran's matters.
Initially, he thought it was not bad for his sister to marry the Crown Prince, but now, he would never let his sister jump into fire.
And Xu Nian was the best choice for his sister.
When Leng Yanran heard Leng Wuqing's words, her cheeks reddened.
She hadn't expected Leng Wuqing to say that.
However, Leng Wuqing's words made Leng Yanran seriously ponder over the matter.
Perhaps she really should hold on to her love for once.
Realizing this, Leng Yanran felt increasingly guilty about her past actions that had hurt Xu Nian.
"Xu Nian, this time I will absolutely not push you away. Even if it means death, I want to die together with you," Leng Yanran determinedly said to herself.
Watching the proud young man standing on the lake, her eyes were filled with deep love.
Xu Nian hadn't noticed the change in Leng Yanran's heart.
At that moment, he was intently staring at the ruins where Xiahou Chun fell.
After Xiahou Chun fell into the ruins, his presence had disappeared.
This was unexpected for Xu Nian.
While his punch was formidable, Xiahou Chun was the Crown Prince of the Imperial Family, assuredly with many tricks up his sleeve.
It was unlikely for him to be killed so easily.
Whenever something is abnormal, it is suspicious.
The sudden disappearance of Xiahou Chun's presence was definitely not a good sign.
Suddenly, Xu Nian felt a terrifying chill surge up from the soles of his feet.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Nian's figure rapidly retreated backward.
And just as he retreated, Xiahou Chun burst out from the lake beneath Xu Nian's feet.
In his hand was a Long Spear.
The fearsome spear tip nearly grazed past Xu Nian's chin.
Had Xu Nian's reaction been a fraction slower, that Long Spear would have been enough to pierce his body into two halves.
Xu Nian tapped his toes rapidly on the ground, hurriedly creating distance between himself and Xiahou Chun.
That moment just now was truly a matter of life and death.
He was almost struck by Xiahou Chun's long spear.
Xu Nian didn't understand how Xiahou Chun had suddenly disappeared and then reappeared beneath him in the lake.
Xiahou Chun stood with his spear, his body emitting a faint blue glow.
His clothes were somewhat tattered, but there was not a single mark on his body from Xu Nian's fierce strike.
Even his skin was unscathed.
This had Xu Nian utterly astonished.
His punch had clearly been powerful; how could Xiahou Chun possibly have been unharmed?
"You're quite quick to react and even managed to dodge my Destructive God Spear," Xiahou Chun said with a sneer, the faint blue glow still flickering.
The glow wasn't intense; it even seemed somewhat gentle.
Xu Nian looked at the faint blue glow and instantly understood what was happening.
It wasn't that his attack had failed to harm Xiahou Chun. Instead, Xiahou Chun had used the power of this faint blue glow to heal his injuries.
"Water attribute Profound Argumentation, Absolute Healing."
Xu Nian muttered to himself.
Xiahou Chun had actually comprehended the Water attribute Profound Argumentation.
And just now, he had abruptly dived into the water, using the healing properties of the water to instantly recover from his injuries.
"Such a powerful healing effect. His comprehension of Absolute Healing must have definitely reached the level of Insight," Xu Nian thought to himself.
Someone who possessed such powerful healing techniques was truly frightening.
Unless you could kill him in one strike, he could continually use the healing effects of the Water attribute to repair his injuries.
In that way, he was essentially an unkillable cockroach.
"Ha ha, you found out. Yes, the Profound Argumentation I've comprehended is the Water attribute's Absolute Healing. Although this Argumentation lacks any offensive power, I can heal my injuries in extremely short periods, making it very difficult for others to kill me," Xiahou Chun laughed heartily.
The people in the loft all showed expressions of surprise.
This type of Profound Argumentation was something every Cultivator wished to comprehend.
After all, being able to heal one's injuries in extremely short periods indirectly enhanced one's survival ability.
Sometimes, when both parties were severely injured, if one suddenly regained their strength,
it would be a fatal blow to the opponent.
"How about that, Xu Nian, are you scared now? Killing me is impossible. And in the end, you will be the one killed by me," Xiahou Chun proudly said.
Xu Nian just gave a cold smile.
"It's just a healing technique, not an Undying Technique. With just one move to take you down, no matter how powerful your healing technique is, I doubt it can bring you back to life," Xu Nian coldly responded.
He also produced a sharp sword in his hand.
Hearing Xu Nian's words, Xiahou Chun showed a trace of mockery.
"Xu Nian, in fact, from the time you chose to fight me, you had already lost. If you knew the Profound Argumentation I had comprehended, you would definitely not have chosen this place to battle me because I've comprehended more than just Absolute Healing," Xiahou Chun said with a cold laugh.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's brows furrowed, and he got an ominous feeling.
"Xu Nian, do you think you're the only one who has reached the Bright Mirror Realm? Today, let me give you a taste of my Ice Desolation," Xiahou Chun suddenly declared.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying chill spread rapidly from Xiahou Chun as its center.
With the spread of this chill, the lake water beneath Xu Nian and Xiahou Chun also began to freeze at that moment.
Snowflakes also started to drift down from the sky.
