"Junior Sister Chen Yao, not only will you have made a wasted trip to Dragon City today, but you will also be punished by the Elders Council of the Human Institute for failing to secure Su Miaoyu!"
Shangguan Ming sneered, then looked at Su Miaoyu. "Sister-in-law, no matter what constitution Long Chen has, he must die today!"
"Rest assured, Big Brother Shangguan. I will make Steward Chen understand that Emperor Meridans are the supreme aptitude! Choosing Long Chen was destined to be a mistake!"
Su Miaoyu laughed coldly. "Long Chen, your plans have fallen through. In today’s trial, you’re not allowed to use Elixir Pills, nor are you permitted to use any external force!"
The moment her words fell, battle qi surged around Su Miaoyu, revealing the oppressive might of the War Maniac Realm! Even though it was just the War Maniac Realm First Layer, it was utterly incomparable to the War Master Realm!
"I have already stepped into the War Maniac Realm. What can you possibly use to fight me, Long Chen? So what if you have a special physique that can withstand the effects of the Tianmo Pill?"
Su Miaoyu’s face was full of scorn. "Today’s trial forbids the use of Tianmo Pills! No matter how special your physique is, it can’t compare to my powerful Emperor Meridans!"
In an instant, the entire area was so silent you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at Long Chen with pity. His fiancée had found a new love, climbing the social ladder with his Emperor Meridans. Now, she even wanted to kill him to keep him quiet!
Furthermore, no external forces were allowed in this trial. Even if Long Chen’s physique was strong and special, he couldn’t use Tianmo Pills!
"This..." The Long Family Members grew deeply worried. If Long Chen, their Young Clan Leader, was defeated, everyone in the Long Family would die!
"Mistress, he’s merely Long Chen. Why must you act personally?"
Suddenly, a young man walked out from the crowd of Su Family Members. It was Long Yu, son of the Long Family’s Great Elder, Long Tian!
"You scoundrel!" Long Tian’s face turned livid, his chest heaving with anger.
However, Long Yu turned a blind eye. He was grotesquely ingratiating toward Su Miaoyu, bowing and scraping to an infuriating degree.
"Once I kill Long Chen, I ask that you spare my father’s life, Mistress," Long Yu said with a deep bow.
Su Miaoyu’s face bloomed into a smile. "Considering your loyalty, I accept. Don’t disappoint me later."
"Thank you, Mistress!" Long Yu hurriedly replied.
Seeing this, Long Tian blushed with shame and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Long Chen’s eyes turned to ice. "To think the Long Family produced someone as disgraceful as you! What a disaster for our house! You are the shame of the Long Clan!"
"Heh, Long Chen, there’s no need to put on an act! This is all because of your own stupidity and incompetence! Fate decreed that you were never worthy of possessing the Emperor Meridans!"
Long Yu sneered, "Surely you can’t expect me to be buried alongside you, can you?"
Hearing these words, Long Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists. He had to admit it was all because he had loved the wrong person, because he had been blind! But that didn’t mean Long Yu’s actions were justified. As a direct descendant of the Long Family, as a martial artist, as a man, how could he bow and scrape before an enemy, fawning over a vile woman without a shred of dignity?
"I, Long Chen, loved the wrong person, treating a venomous snake like Su Miaoyu as my beloved. This is the first time I have made such a mistake, and it will be the last!"
As he spoke, a killing aura engulfed him. "I was wrong, but I am confident I can turn the tide! I hope you, Long Yu, have the same confidence!"
"Stop boasting! You think you can turn the tide? Are you worthy?" Long Yu scoffed, clenching his fist and releasing his battle qi.
It was the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm!
Everyone gasped. No one had expected Long Yu to have broken through to the Ninth Layer of the War Master Realm! He had, after all, only been at the War Master Sixth Level!
"We’ll soon find out whether I’m worthy or not!" Long Chen was not surprised. After all, Su Jun had advanced from the War Master Fifth Heaven to the Eighth Layer Heaven in just a day or two. Since Long Yu had pledged his allegiance to Su Miaoyu, his rapid advancement was hardly surprising!
Just then, a cold female voice suddenly rang out. "It seems I’m a bit late. I’ve kept Steward Shangguan and Steward Chen waiting."
"Hmm?" Hearing this voice, both Shangguan Ming and Chen Yao’s expressions changed drastically.
She’s actually here?
