Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 270: The Luo Family has a Daughter! The Eve of the Grand Competition!

Chapter 270: Chapter 270: The Luo Family has a Daughter! The Eve of the Grand Competition!

In the early morning on Qingxuan Peak, mist floated ethereally. Under the morning sun, everything was coated in a faint golden light, the clouds steaming and the rosy skies brilliant—like a celestial paradise on earth.

Along the mountain path.

Luo Cheng and Chen Lingyu walked side by side, with Chen Xuan Elder ahead of them, followed closely by Yuan Zhilan and Gu Lingfeng.

Luo Cheng asked, "Senior Sister, why hasn’t Senior Brother come?"

"He’s probably over at Crown Prince Hall."

Chen Lingyu replied and added, "Senior Brother, despite being a member of Crown Prince Hall, has never bullied other disciples. He’s been nothing but sincere to you, doing his best to avoid conflicts between you and Crown Prince Hall. You mustn’t blame him."

"I understand."

Luo Cheng nodded.

Lin Xiaoyun had gifted him a Protective Armor and personally warned him that Crown Prince Hall would target him during the Outer Sect Tournament.

He had long accepted this Senior Brother fully in his heart.

"Why did Senior Brother join Crown Prince Hall?" Luo Cheng asked casually.

"That’s a long story."

Chen Lingyu explained, "Senior Brother comes from humble roots. His parents were not Martial Artists, and members of Crown Prince Hall initially looked down on him."

"However, by chance, Senior Brother saved Qi Guyun while he was on a mission outside. The two became close friends, and it was Qi Guyun who invited him to join Crown Prince Hall."

"As for why he accepted, aside from Qi Guyun’s invitation, the reason likely lies in cultivation resources. Even the greatest genius without sufficient resources will eventually fade into obscurity."

Luo Cheng nodded slightly.

If not for the abundant Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Pills, and Soul Crystals, he wouldn’t have achieved his current realm and strength.

For Martial Artists, cultivation resources are just as vital as talent.

The group of five gradually moved closer to the Outer Sect Martial Arts Square.

Excited voices echoed ahead.

"So many people! Why are there even folk from the jianghu?"

Yuan Zhilan exclaimed in surprise.

On the mountain path ahead, people bustled about. Aside from Outer Disciples heading to the tournament, there were numerous jianghu figures in varied attire.

Chen Lingyu smiled, "The Outer Sect Tournament is an annual grand event of our Xuanyuan Sect. Nearby nobles and renowned jianghu experts are invited to spectate, showcasing the prestige of our sect."

At this moment, Elder Chen Xuan in the lead slowed his pace and said:

"That’s only one reason."

"By inviting these people to spectate, the sect hopes you can make a name for yourselves."

"Don’t underestimate fame. With enough reputation, many benefits follow. There’s a chance of being valued by major forces or prominent figures, invited as honorary guests, or even becoming a family tributary. They may fund your cultivation."

"With sufficient resources, cultivation is one thing; without them, it’s entirely different. If you spend every day working to earn wealth and fight for Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Pills, how can you focus on cultivation? You’d be left far behind by those with the same talent."

"Remember this; the key to Martial Arts cultivation lies in one word: competition!"

"Compete for fame, resources, and fortune! If you don’t strive, it’s as if you’re gifting away your opportunity to become a powerhouse."

"Disciple will remember this well!"

The group nodded.

Luo Cheng firmly etched these words into his heart.

At that moment, Elder Chen Xuan looked at Luo Cheng:

"Luo Cheng, your matters with Crown Prince Hall will have to be resolved by yourself. I’ll be watching from the audience and can ensure that Crown Prince Hall doesn’t pull any cheap tricks. If you face an unbeatable opponent, admit defeat early. Nothing is more important than your life."

"Understood. Thank you, Master."

Luo Cheng cupped his hands and bowed, though inwardly he sneered.

Admit defeat?

That’s only if someone is qualified to make him surrender!

"Alright! I’ve said all I needed to. I have to go discuss the tournament’s rules with the other Elders. You may head to the Martial Arts Square on your own."

As his voice fell, Elder Chen Xuan’s Essence Energy surged around him, transforming into a rainbow streak that instantly shot into the sky.

Luo Cheng watched Elder Chen Xuan disappear into the horizon, a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.

To ride the wind and control the sword, vanquishing demons across heaven and earth!

What freedom and grandeur that must be!

Chen Lingyu smiled, "Keep cultivating. Once you reach the Awakening Vein Realm, you will be able to traverse the skies. That’s the true essence of cultivation and freedom."

Chen Lingyu, now at the Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak, could not yet fly either and was only capable of brief gliding in mid-air.

Luo Cheng nodded, reflecting internally: I still have a long way to go!

When the four arrived at the Martial Arts Square, it was already packed with crowds!

Just the Outer Disciples participating in the tournament numbered over a thousand. The audience seating was even more crowded, exceeding ten thousand, with people constantly rushing in—the scene was extraordinarily grand.

The sect outsiders were seated on the square’s southern side.

Among them were clan leaders, gang chiefs, trade guild heads, the City Lords of nearby cities, and renowned jianghu experts—all from near the Xuanyuan Sect’s vicinity!

Many people recognized one another, gathering in groups of three or five to chat and laugh.

"Master Xu, you’re here too!"

"Of course. Xuanyuan Sect is one of the Great Yue Dynasty’s Three Great Sects, teeming with talent. I brought a few younger disciples from the gang to watch these top-tier geniuses battle and expand their horizons—so they don’t end up as frogs at the bottom of a well."

"Haha, I had the same thought. I brought two young clan members, hoping it will inspire them."

"I wonder who will take first place in this year’s Outer Sect Tournament?"

"Judging from the current situation, Qi Guyun stands the best chance. His Sword Dao Realm has reached Sword Heart Perfection! He holds a record of defeating three Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak Martial Artists with a single sword strike. Moreover, he’s backed by Eighth Prince Jin Min and the Imperial Family—an extraordinary combination. Besides him, Lin Xiaoyun and Xu Bingyi are also contenders..."

"Yes, Lin Xiaoyun is Elder Chen Xuan’s Direct Disciple. He keeps a low profile and has few public achievements, but he’s never lost. As for Xu Bingyi’s awakened Martial Soul, it’s said to be quite exceptional, though nobody knows what it is."

The crowd discussed this year’s tournament favorites.

Among them, Qi Guyun had the highest chances of victory!

"Oh! Who is that woman? I’ve never seen her before, yet she’s seated in City Lord Fu’s spot!"

Suddenly, someone looked toward the highest seats in the audience and gasped.

The arrangement of seats in the audience wasn’t random.

The lowest level consisted of ordinary seats, the middle level had private booths, and the highest level was divided into compartments by screens!

From this, one could instantly discern someone’s influence, status, and strength.

The central compartment in the highest level, offering the prime view, had always been reserved for Linjiang City’s City Lord Fu Canglei.

At this moment, however, Fu Canglei was sitting in an adjacent compartment, as the central one was occupied by only two figures—a young woman and a maid clad in green. fгeewebnovёl.com

The young woman, seemingly around sixteen years old, wore a fox-fur cloak. Her skin was like white jade, her legs long and slender, her delicate frame perfect in its grace. She had a veil covering her face, concealing her features, but judging from her divine facial contours, she was unquestionably a peerless beauty!

"Who is this woman, shocking even City Lord Fu to back off?"

Witnessing this scene, many were astonished, desperately trying to uncover her identity.

An obese merchant chuckled mysteriously, "She’s the newly appointed Sub Pavilion Master of Lingyun Pavilion in Linjiang City."

"A Sub Pavilion Master from Linjiang City! That alone isn’t enough to make City Lord Fu move aside!"

The merchant smiled knowingly. "Of course it’s not sufficient. However, her surname is Luo, and she reportedly hails from the main house of Lingyun Pavilion in the Central Continent. Her status seems rather significant."

"Surname Luo! From the Central Continent’s main house of Lingyun Pavilion!"

Everyone was startled, their gazes instantly shifting away, not daring to look further.

The young woman was none other than Luo Yao, with her maid, Ah Mu, by her side.

"Miss, he’s here!"

Ah Mu suddenly glanced at the Martial Arts Square’s entrance.

Luo Yao followed her gaze and indeed spotted Luo Cheng at the entrance. She let out a soft exclamation, her eyes flashing with intrigue.

She noticed the surging vitality in Luo Cheng’s physique—he had already reached Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Peak!

In merely ten days, he had advanced from Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Middle Stage to Second Layer Peak!

This development left her astonished.

"Looks like this year’s Outer Sect Tournament will be quite interesting..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Mu pursed her lips in mild jealousy.

"I’d like to see what place he’ll manage to achieve! Hopefully, he doesn’t fail to even break into the top 100!"

While the two conversed,

suddenly, thunderous cheers erupted in the square.

Qi Guyun and a group of Crown Prince Hall experts appeared at the entrance to the Martial Arts Square!
