Su Miaoyu lifted the sixth Jade Cauldron single-handedly above her head, making it look incredibly easy. She even balanced it on a single fingertip, causing everyone to gasp in astonishment.
Such potential undoubtedly indicated that Su Miaoyu could easily step into the War King Realm! A War King was considered a pinnacle expert within a ten-thousand-mile radius!
"Damn it!" The Long Family members were furious. The Emperor’s Pulse Talent should have belonged to their Young Clan Leader, Long Chen, but now it had become the source of Su Miaoyu’s arrogance.
"Haha, it seems Junior Sister Miaoyu’s fusion with the Emperor Meridians went very smoothly," Shangguan Ming laughed heartily, casting a meaningful glance at Chu Lingjun.
Chu Lingjun replied coolly, "Even a mediocre person could reach the War King Realm by relying on the Emperor Meridians. This proves nothing."
"Hehe, Junior Sister Chu does make a fair point. It’s a pity our Martial Ancestor only has Seven Cauldrons, so we can’t test for talent beyond the Warlord Realm."
Shangguan Ming paused before adding, "However, for someone with the Emperor Meridians, surpassing a Warlord is no difficult task."
Chu Lingjun replied coolly, "You have a great misunderstanding of the Emperor Meridians. Although they can raise the upper limit of a Martial Artist’s potential, only a true expert can unleash their greatest might. If Su Miaoyu’s own innate talent were already that strong, she wouldn’t still be in the War Maniac Realm."
Shangguan Ming’s expression darkened at her words. "Is that so? Then let’s wait and see!"
"Su Miaoyu is going for the seventh Jade Cauldron!" the crowd shouted.
Su Miaoyu stood before the seventh Jade Cauldron. She indifferently reached out and lightly grasped one of its handles.
Everyone held their breath at the sight. After all, Su Miaoyu had effortlessly lifted the previous six Jade Cauldrons with just one hand!
"Hmm?" Su Miaoyu frowned. I can’t lift it as easily as the other six?
"Hasn’t she started yet?" the crowd wondered, looking at the motionless Su Miaoyu.
Su Miaoyu refused to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. She kept her grip on the handle with one hand, continuing to strain with all her might.
Her hand turned pale and her delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably, yet the Jade Cauldron only lifted a finger’s width from the ground.
"So she had already started!" the crowd realized.
Seeing this, Long Chen scoffed, "This just proves you are unworthy of the Emperor Meridians."
"The one unworthy of the Emperor Meridians is *you*, Long Chen! Otherwise, why would they be inside my body?" Su Miaoyu’s eyes turned cold as she switched to using both hands.
Instantly, Su Miaoyu heaved the seventh Jade Cauldron up, raising it from a mere finger’s width off the ground to above her waist!
Then, as everyone watched, Su Miaoyu gritted her teeth, her face flushed red with effort, and hoisted the seventh Jade Cauldron above her shoulders.
"AHHH!" With a furious shout, Su Miaoyu successfully heaved the Jade Cauldron over her head.
It was clear to all that her delicate body was trembling, her legs were shaking uncontrollably, and her pretty face had turned from flushed red to a purplish-blue from the strain.
Yet, no matter how she looked, and no matter how painful or humiliating it was, she had successfully lifted the seventh Jade Cauldron!
This undoubtedly meant Su Miaoyu possessed the potential for the Warlord Realm. Her ascension was merely a matter of time!
"Hahaha! Excellent! Excellent!" Shangguan Ming stood and applauded in admiration. "A War King is already a pinnacle expert within a ten-thousand-mile radius, but a Warlord is absolutely invincible!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Lingjun and added meaningfully, "What’s more, as Junior Sister Chu just said, Junior Sister Miaoyu has not yet perfectly fused with the Emperor Meridians. Once she does, even a small advancement will allow her to surpass a Warlord!"
Chu Lingjun maintained her indifferent expression. "Let’s hope so."
"Long Chen! It’s your turn now, you failure! I’d like to see just how strong your Constitution is!" Su Miaoyu sneered as she set the Jade Cauldron down.
A cold light flashed in Long Chen’s eyes. "Merely Seven Cauldrons. Let me show you that even with the Emperor Meridians, you and I are still worlds apart!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Chen kicked the Jade Cauldron in front of everyone, sending it flying.
