"It seems my Emperor Meridians have only inflated your confidence, you despicable wretch. How ironic. With your mediocre talent, you’re not fit to possess them, no matter how strong they are." Long Chen appeared extremely calm, having long grown accustomed to Su Miaoyu’s ugly antics.
"Your Emperor Meridians? You’re the real joke here, aren’t you?" Su Miaoyu retorted with disdain. "As the saying goes, to the victor go the spoils. Since the Emperor Meridians are within my body, they are mine by heavenly destiny!"
As her voice fell, Su Miaoyu turned to the tens of thousands of spectators and declared, "I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumors by now—that I stole the Emperor Meridians from Long Chen, that my Su Family betrayed the Long Family, and that I, Su Miaoyu, was the one who entrapped him!"
This declaration stunned everyone; even the expressions of the Long Family members changed. No one had ever imagined that Su Miaoyu would dare to admit the truth in public.
"But so what? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong!" Suddenly, Su Miaoyu’s tone shifted as she spoke with arrogance. "I, Su Miaoyu, am destined to be a peerless talent of the heavens with a limitless future. Why would I ever be content in Dragon City? And I certainly would never marry an imbecile like Long Chen! Compared to Shangguan Pojun, what is the Long Family? What is Long Chen?
"I bravely pursued my own future and a life partner more suited to me. Is there any fault in that?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd had mixed reactions. Some admired and even respected Su Miaoyu’s ruthlessness, while others sneered in disgust. But whatever their reaction, Su Miaoyu clearly didn’t care.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, she stated coldly, "A martial artist’s cultivation is an act of defying the heavens, where deception is the norm! The fact that I successfully obtained Long Chen’s Emperor Meridians proves they were always meant for me. Only I am worthy of the Emperor Meridians! The result is now obvious. It took me only three short days to step into the War Maniac Realm! As for Long Chen... heh!"
Su Miaoyu didn’t continue, but everyone understood her implication. Before Long Chen lost his Emperor Meridians, his highest cultivation was the War Master First Layer Heaven. Su Miaoyu, on the other hand, had been in the Warrior Realm. After obtaining the Emperor Meridians, she had soared into the War Maniac Realm in just three days. Judging solely by their Martial Arts Realms, it was clear that Su Miaoyu was far more suited for the Emperor Meridians.
Young Master, this wretched woman is utterly ignorant! If not for the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body being incompatible with the Emperor Meridians, forget the mere War Maniac Realm; you could have easily reached the War King Realm, or even higher! It’s just a pity this cannot be revealed publicly, as no one would believe it. Xia Duoduo’s voice echoed in Long Chen’s mind.
Long Chen felt quite helpless. After all, the only constitution capable of suppressing the might of the Emperor Meridians is the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body! Even if I explained it to everyone, no one would believe me. Worse, it would expose my Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body and attract an overwhelming disaster I couldn’t possibly handle.
"That’s hilarious!" Suddenly, Long Xin covered her face and laughed mockingly. "You contemptible wretch! To think you’d speak of your ingratitude and shamelessness as if they’re justified—you..."
Long Chen raised a hand to stop her. "Let her talk. Why bother arguing? It is never reason or truth that silences people, but strength!"
To think the Young Master has such a mindset... I am truly impressed! Xia Duoduo thought in admiration.
"Brother Chen, that was so powerful! What you said makes so much sense!" Long Xin’s beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.
"The Young Clan Leader is mighty!" the members of the Long Family exclaimed in unison. Everyone else present was immensely shocked. No one had expected Long Chen to be so confident.
"Listen well, you wretch. Soon, I will dig out the Emperor Meridians, chop off your head, and erase your Su Family from Dragon City!"
With his hands clasped behind his back, Long Chen added coldly, "I will make you understand that for a mediocre piece of trash like you, not even the Emperor Meridians can save you!"
