1031: Chapter 97: The Strength of Chu Yue Ling 1031: Chapter 97: The Strength of Chu Yue Ling The Holy Maiden of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, emerged from seclusion and, with Princess Xidie presiding, held a gathering.
Every hero from Qingyun Academy was in attendance without a single absence.
Without exception, they were all there to catch a glimpse of the beauty that could topple cities and states, Holy Maiden Chu Yue Ling, which was why they had all gathered there tonight.
Hearing about someoneās reputation is never as good as meeting them in person; praise heard is never as good as what is seen with oneās own eyes.
The beauty of Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, was indescribable.
The Tenth Princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty was already renowned for her beauty, but in front of Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, she was simply overshadowed.
At this moment, Gu Chen, surrounded by a group of demons, listened as they discussed various topics based on the situation in the upper realms, showing not the slightest intention to intervene in the conversation.
Gu Chen, holding a wine glass in his hand, sat alone.
His gaze inadvertently crossed paths with that of Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, who was looking intently at him.
As expected, their eyes met for a moment, but the next instant, they looked away.
Gu Chen smiled, about to turn his head away, but suddenly a voice from within startled him, almost causing him to lose his grip on the wine glass.
āYoung Master Gu, whatās wrong?
Is there something troubling you?ā Princess Xidie was extremely perceptive and noticed that something was off with Gu Chen, who sat beside her.
āCould it be that someone was too eager to progress and left flaws during their breakthrough, and now theyāre starting to tremble so much they canāt even hold a cup steady?ā An untimely voice spoke upāit was Chen Xuan from Yuexiao Sect.
At this moment, he looked at Gu Chen with a mocking smile, pretending to be deeply concerned as he said, āBrother Gu, if thereās anything you need, I am absolutely willing to lend a helping hand.ā
Gu Chen ignored him completely and shook his head at Princess Xidie, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan snorted and decided not to continue pestering Gu Chen, as he was in a good mood today.
Gu Chen glanced subtly at Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, who now turned her head away, revealing her long, fair, jade-like neck, incredibly smooth and as translucent as mutton-fat jade.
The reason Gu Chen lost his composure was simply that this Holy Maiden had transmitted a message to him, saying one thing.
āBrother Gu, we meet again.ā
Gu Chen was taken aback, not expecting that after just one meeting, Chu Yue Ling would recognize his true identity and completely see through him.
He didnāt know whether to be relieved that their relationship was so close and familiar that the Holy Maiden recognized him at a glance or to wonder if his concealment had failed.
āIt shouldnāt be, I have concealed my aura with the Heavenly Seed and the Yu Ding, let alone the mightiest beings, even the Great Powers of the Heavenly Realm and figures of the level of the Saint Lords should find it hard to discern or discover me,ā he thought.
No matter how extraordinary Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, was, she could not possibly compare to the Great Powers of the Heavenly Realm or the Saint Lords at her current stage.
Otherwise, she wouldnāt be a Holy Maiden, she would be a true celestial fairy.
No matter how much Gu Chen pondered, he found no answer and ultimately concluded that perhaps some behavior of his had been seen through by Chu Yue Ling.
āIt is well-known that the Holy Maiden possesses extraordinary strength.
If willing, you could be listed on the Dao Gold List at any time.
I am not talented, but I wish to learn from the Holy Maiden and hope she will agree,ā he said.
At this time, Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, with his light golden hair, spoke up, seeking to spar with Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling.
As soon as he spoke, many prodigies were astonished, seemingly not expecting him to make such a request.
One would expect Chu Yue Ling to refuse, but unexpectedly, the Holy Maiden nodded her agreement.
āYes,ā she said softly.
āThank you, Holy Maiden!ā With those words, Yan Qi was immediately overjoyed.
As a demon of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan, his bloodline might not compare to that of the Golden Raven Clan, but it was still extremely extraordinary.
Furthermore, having been subjected to various medicinal baths and nourished with rare treasures since childhood, and having exchanged a great price at Qingyun Academy for many hard-to-find spiritual items from the outside world.
Thus, Yan Qiās cultivation had reached the early stages of the God Transformation Realm.
The others, hearing that Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, would take action, were also very excited, watching unblinkingly.
In the center of the island, there was a huge arena for sparring and competition.
This also showed that Qingyun Academy truly encouraged the constant exchange among various talents to affirm their own learning.
Only in this way could the strongest heroes and demons be cultivated.
āHoly Maiden, since that is the case, I shall not hold back!ā
Stepping onto the arena, Yan Qi knew that he had to strike first to have the advantage, so the moment his words fell, he immediately activated his strongest technique.
āFire engulfs the heavens!ā
Yan Qi shouted, and after reaching the God Transformation Realm, the sunās true fire within him had grown much more powerful as well.
Endless faint golden flames turned into a hundred-zhang tall vermilion bird.
The blazing flames burned heaven and earth, shooting towards Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling.
This move was indeed extraordinary; even cultivators at late stage God Transformation Realm or peak completion would have to face it with caution, as it was Yan Qiās all-out minor divine power.
āThe battle begins!ā
At this moment, everyoneās hearts were gripped with tension, watching the arena without blinking.
Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden, Chu Yue Ling, with her celestial physique and city-toppling beauty, had an ethereal and cool temperament.
She stood there quietly, waiting for Yan Qiās attack to approach.
As everyone looked on eagerly, Taoxu Roadās Holy Maiden finally made her move.
Bang!
A pristine, flawless, and supple jade-like hand reached out, lightly pressing forward.
Instantly, the vast sunās true fire and the assembled vermilion bird, everything vanished.
