Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 626 - 601 Martial Arts Contest for Marriage

A few days later, in front of the City Lord's Mansion of Copper Medicine.

The place was teeming with people, a clamor reverberating in the air. What was once an open space was now hard-pressed and crowded with a dark mass of people.

The attendees were dressed differently, varying in height, each a robust man at the True Spirit Realm.

Among them, squeezed in the crowd, was a burly man with a full beard, his face covered in dark, pockmarked blemishes, a broad nose, and thick eyebrows, so ugly it reached a certain realm.

However, this ugly man's eyes were exceptionally clear, incongruous with his hideous visage. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

This person was none other than Wang Xu.

"So many people."

The ugly burly man Wang Xu sighed as he squeezed through the crowd.

The entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, no less than a thousand square meters of open space, was now densely packed with people, difficult for any outsider to squeeze in.

It was evident how many people this martial arts tournament and bride-seeking contest had attracted!

Everyone here longed to ascend to a higher position overnight by securing this chance.

To them, regardless of how humble or bleak their previous circumstances were, becoming the City Lord's son-in-law meant an immediate turnaround, paving the way for future success.

"Even a Ganges Celestial Spirit with two fingers dares to join the fun, truly unafraid of death."

As Wang Xu glanced around, he noticed individuals from the Celestial Spirit Realm also wishing to attempt the challenge.

This challenge was limited to men below the Ancient Spirit Realm, so anyone from the Ancestral Spirit Realm with one finger or the Celestial Spirit Realm with two fingers was included.

It's important to know that the City Lord of Copper Medicine was hosting this martial arts tournament to seek young, talented individuals to rejuvenate his family.

As long as someone could defeat his daughter, the lower their realm, the stronger their talent; there was no logic to imposing a restriction.

However, one must act within their means.

Let's not discuss the vast gap between the Ancestral Spirit Realm, Celestial Spirit Realm, and Ancient Spirit Realm; even the exemplary descendant of one of Copper Medicine City's four great families, Shudong Qing, was defeated by the City Lord's daughter, showing she spares no mercy, with no regard to holding back in her attacks.

Yet, these guys from the Celestial Spirit Realm still dare to charge ahead...

"Blinded by greed, they deserve to die," Wang Xu shook his head.

He naturally understood the mindset of these hopeful Celestial Spirit Realm individuals, preparing to seize the opportunity when the City Lord's daughter was exhausted from successive battles to reap benefits without effort.

But do they think they're the only ones with such thoughts? How could the City Lord not foresee this?

If they don't regard their lives as important, then they're useless to keep, so Wang Xu turned his eyes away from these "doomed men" and focused on the Martial Platform.

The Martial Platform was a special stone, exceptionally hard, yet the range was very small, only ten meters long and ten meters wide.

The rules of this martial arts tournament and bride-seeking contest were simple: as long as a challenger could defeat the City Lord's daughter, make her voluntarily admit defeat, or push her off the platform, they would be considered victorious. Conversely, if the challenger was beaten to the point of shouting for surrender or was kicked off the stage, they failed the challenge.

After waiting for a moment, the crowd suddenly became restless.

The tightly closed doors of the City Lord's Mansion opened with a creak.

"She's coming out!"

"The City Lord's daughter is coming out! Look quickly!"

"Oh my god! So beautiful, that's the City Lord's daughter? She's as beautiful as someone out of a painting. No wonder the young descendants of the four great families are so reluctant to give up pursuing her, with such stunning looks!"

"Today, no matter what, I must win! Being able to ascend to a higher position in one step and win over a beautiful maiden, such an opportunity is practically a once-in-a-lifetime event!"

"..."

As a silhouette gracefully walked through the City Lord's Mansion gate and directly onto the Martial Platform, the crowd below erupted into a frenzied uproar.

With a queenly noble, cold demeanor, her gaze held no trace of feminine softness, instead filled with a steely determination stronger than most men. Nonetheless, it failed to overshadow her willow-like slender, well-proportioned, and flawlessly tender white figure!

A trace of light red hair, with strands of red dancing beside her glittering eyes in the breeze.

This was Copper Medicine Yerong, the City Lord's daughter of Copper Medicine.

"Indeed, she's quite beautiful, comparable to Han Qing'Er."

Nearly all the men were enraptured by Copper Medicine Yerong's unparalleled beauty, yet for Wang Xu, who had weathered countless hardships and storms, Copper Medicine Yerong's beauty was at most on par with Han Qing'Er.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

At this moment, a black shadow swiftly swept by, even Wang Xu's eyes couldn't catch the movement. When he focused, he noticed an upright middle-aged man in black had suddenly appeared on the Martial Platform.

"Greetings, City Lord of Copper Medicine!"

Instantly, everyone present shouted in unison.

"Everyone, there's no need for formalities. Today, your participation in the martial arts tournament I've organized for my daughter brings honor to Copper Medicine Yangze," said the City Lord of Copper Medicine. "I believe everyone knows the rules. As long as you can knock my daughter from the Martial Platform or make her concede voluntarily, you'll emerge victorious. The winner will be, as promised, my esteemed son-in-law."

"Not only that, but the winner will also receive a Secret Technique gift, as well as a pass to the First Layer."

As soon as the City Lord's words fell, an uproar arose from below.

Abundant.

Truly abundant.

Such rewards were deadly tempting for them!

It's important to know that most of the challengers here come from the Third Layer or some young members of the Second Layer tribes. Their tribes don't have the qualification to possess such rare items as secret techniques, let alone the chance to enter the First Layer.

"Secret techniques? This is an unexpected gain." Wang Xu thought to himself, smiling inwardly.

"Next, there's no need for me to say more. My daughter is here. Any hero who thinks he has the strength can come up and try!" said Copper Medicine City Lord, "But I must declare in advance, on the Martial Platform, there is no mercy with weapons. Once casualties happen, Copper Medicine Yangze can't be blamed."

"Alright, let's begin!"

These words from Copper Medicine City Lord did nothing to make those below retreat. Since they dared to come, they were ready for everything. The moment the City Lord gave the order, the crowd couldn't wait to rush to the stage.

"Everyone else, get down!"

In an instant, no less than dozens wanted to rush onto the stage first. Except for one who was the quickest, all others were blocked by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

The first challenger was a man in military attire with a handlebar mustache.

Looking at his lewd face, his lustful eyes sizing up Copper Medicine Yerong in front of him, his eyes lit up, almost drooling.

"Hmph!"

Copper Medicine Yerong, whose expression was already as cold as an iceberg, was immediately angered upon seeing this challenger. Her slim figure leaped, leaving a faint red shadow in the air.

Zheng.

Two Crescent Sabers suddenly appeared, cutting a fierce trail, slashing toward the handlebar mustache man!

"Heh heh."

The handlebar mustache man naturally had some strength to be the first to rush onto the Martial Platform. How could he be so easily defeated?

He didn't take out any weapons, but instead, flicked his hands, and his sleeves suddenly extended, turning into two soft whips, facing up.

Crescent Saber against Sleeve Whip.

It seemed that the latter had the advantage, as being soft to the extreme, they could glide over the blade without leaving a scratch.

But the handlebar mustache man was clearly not up to that high level of skill.

After a few dazzling rounds, the man with the handlebar mustache's expression changed dramatically. The Sleeve Whip in his hands was evidently no match for Copper Medicine Yerong's Crescent Saber.

What frustrated him even more was that the Martial Platform was so small, he couldn't even showcase his vaunted speed.

Thus, the result was no surprise whatsoever.

Bang!

Copper Medicine Yerong delivered a powerful kick, sending the handlebar mustache man flying off the platform, crashing to the ground.

The handlebar mustache man spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression weak. Clearly, his core was injured.

"Next."

Copper Medicine Yerong didn't even glance at the handlebar mustache man, coldly scanning below.

Immediately, many who were eager and ready to try stepped back involuntarily.

The handlebar mustache man's strength was considered above average among them. If he couldn't last a few moves against Copper Medicine Yerong, what chance did they have?

Moreover, the most important thing was that they had witnessed Copper Medicine Yerong's ruthlessness, striking without mercy. The handlebar mustache man's core was shattered, and it would take tens of thousands of years to recover. This alone was enough to extinguish their previously boiling desire.

"Next, let me."

As the voice came out, all eyes turned to look, and Wang Xu also curiously glanced, nodding slightly.

Whoosh!

The person stepped forward, his form moving like a phantom onto the Martial Platform. His speed was fast enough to rival someone at the Ancient Spirit Realm.

Looking at his young, handsome face and his luxurious attire, just from the Treasure Sword in his hand, shimmering with a watery glow, it was clear that this individual was no ordinary person.

"Isn't this the strongest young member of the Four Great Families, 'Yun Juan Feng You'?"

"There's no chance for us now. It's said his strength can already rival that of someone in the Ancient Spirit Realm. Defeating Copper Medicine Yerong would be a piece of cake!"

"I thought we could pick up some benefits, but now we can't even see a good show!"

"..."

Seeing this handsome young man, the crowd below became utterly dejected.

Yun Juan Feng You, a descendant of the Yun Juan family, one of the Four Great Families, had mysterious and unpredictable power. Not only did he possess great talent, but he also practiced secret techniques, able to fight on equal terms with someone in the Ancient Spirit Realm.

This type of person should have appeared as the grand finale. Yet, unexpectedly, Yun Juan Feng You was even keener than they imagined, stepping up as the second challenger.

With their top contender out, how could Copper Medicine Yerong not lose?

This martial contest for marriage was as good as over.

"It's you." Copper Medicine Yerong said with a cold snort upon seeing the challenger.

"Yerong, last time my father proposed to the City Lord, you didn't agree. But now you've created this martial contest for marriage. I really can't understand you." Yun Juan Feng You smiled lightly, "But since you're willing to play this game, I'll play along with you."

"If you want to boast, defeat me first!"

Copper Medicine Yerong's eyes grew cold, a trace of murderous intent flashed in her gaze. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
