Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 72 - Top Ten in the Martial Roll

"Is he that little beast from the Long Family who tried to get fresh with Senior Sister Su? The one who was thankfully suppressed by the Eldest Senior Brother?"

"He looks respectable enough, so why are his actions so vile?"

"Since the Eldest Senior Brother is still in seclusion, should we help Senior Sister Su kill this punk?"

Two men and a woman emerged from behind Su Miaoyu, all staring at Long Chen with cold, hostile eyes.

"That’s him. If Brother Po Jun hadn’t rescued me, I’m afraid he would have taken advantage of me," Su Miaoyu said, nodding with a wronged expression.

Hearing this, the trio grew even more furious. They exchanged a look and then simultaneously advanced on Long Chen.

Seeing this, Liu Bian gritted his teeth and moved to Long Chen’s side, warning him via voice transmission, "Senior Brother Long, all three of them are in the top ten of the Martial Roll. They are Gu Hanyue, ranked seventh; Zhang Qianyu, eighth; and Sun Bi’an, ninth. I don’t know who this Senior Sister Su is, but I’m guessing she and you have a deep-seated grudge. If they propose a life-and-death duel, just do whatever you can to delay the start of the battle!"

"Human Institute’s Liu Bian?" Gu Hanyue, dressed in a green gown that accentuated her graceful figure and delicate beauty, shot a disdainful look at Liu Bian for blocking her path. "Heh. You want to stand up for Long Chen? Do you really think you’re capable?"

"It’s true that I’m not your match, but if you want to lay a hand on Senior Brother Long, you’ll have to follow the Sect’s rules!" Liu Bian retorted coldly.

At the mention of Sect rules, Gu Hanyue and the other two couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Su Miaoyu, you shameless bitch! To think you’d still dare to spew such lies!" Long Chen’s expression turned icy. "Back in Dragon City, you would have been dead long ago if Shangguan Ming and his father, Shangguan He, hadn’t been protecting you! Since we’ve run into each other today, let’s settle this with a life-and-death duel!"

At these words, Su Miaoyu’s beautiful face became frigid, and she sneered with contempt, "You think you’re worthy of fighting me? You’re merely in the War Master Realm!"

HUM!

In an instant, battle qi erupted from Su Miaoyu, revealing her cultivation—War Maniac Realm, Nine Layer Heavens!

In a single day, she had not only recovered from her injuries but had also broken through eight layers, advancing from the First Layer Heaven to the Nine Layer Heavens!

"Your Emperor Meridans are truly wonderful. My cultivation increases significantly after every battle."

As she spoke, Su Miaoyu took the silver token from her waist, looking rather proud. "Look," she boasted. "I became a second-class disciple of the Earth Institute the moment I joined the sect. By myself, I suppressed all the other second-class disciples and took all their Earth Martial Pearls!

"You probably don’t even know what an Earth Martial Pearl is, do you? Hehe, it’s far more advanced than the Human Martial Beads from your Human Institute! A single Earth Martial Pearl is equivalent to ten of your Human Martial Beads. Once I use them to exchange for enough Superior Spirit Stones from the Martial Hall, I can enter seclusion to break through to the next realm. When I emerge, I’ll be a first-class disciple! Meanwhile, you’ll be a second-class disciple at best for the foreseeable future. We are destined to be worlds apart, like heaven and earth!"

Liu Bian was stunned. Emperor Meridans? Senior Brother Long’s? He couldn’t believe it. Long Chen actually possessed Emperor Meridans, and this woman stole them?

Wait a minute... A woman with the surname Su, the Earth Institute’s Eldest Senior Brother Shangguan Pojun, Dragon City? The pieces suddenly clicked into place. Liu Bian recalled the world-altering phenomenon that had originated from Dragon City and shocked the entire Martial Ancestor. The event was common knowledge within the sect, but the exact details were still unknown. Could she be Shangguan Pojun’s fiancée? The genius from Dragon City who triggered that phenomenon? Liu Bian realized with a start that they were in deep trouble.

Gu Hanyue’s red lips curled slightly as she said lightly, "Senior Sister Su, you’re overestimating him. He won’t get another chance to advance."

"Exactly! Because today, he met us!" Sun Bi’an added with a cold laugh.

Zhang Qianyu nodded, stating casually, "He’s just a piece of trash at the War Master Realm. We’ll take his life today."

"Long Chen, not only are we first-class disciples, but we’re also in the top ten of the Martial Roll! You have no right to refuse a life-and-death challenge! You will die today, without a doubt! If you kneel and kowtow to Senior Sister Su to admit your wrongs, we might consider giving you a quick death!"

A round of mocking laughter erupted from Gu Hanyue and her two companions.

Su Miaoyu also covered her face as she giggled. "Thank you, my three juniors. When Brother Po Jun comes out of seclusion, I’ll be sure to tell him everything."

Hearing this, delight spread across the faces of Gu Hanyue and her companions. Their true motive for defending Su Miaoyu and calling her "Senior Sister" was to curry favor with Shangguan Pojun.

"If you three want to challenge me to a life-and-death duel, I won’t refuse," Long Chen said, his cold gaze fixed on Su Miaoyu. He paused, his voice dripping with disdain. "However, I just challenged *her* to one. First come, first served."

"Hehe, Senior Brother Long is right!" Liu Bian chimed in. "You brag about becoming a second-class disciple right after joining the sect, but I bet you didn’t know that Senior Brother Long became a first-class disciple the moment he joined! He has challenged you to a life-and-death duel, which you have no right to refuse!"

The color drained from Su Miaoyu’s face. "Impossible! He’s only at the War Master Realm! He can only be a third-class disciple!"
