"How powerful!"

"This is the might of the first genius of Ling Tian Sect?"

"We can't even catch up."

"We're too far behind!"

Many young geniuses present looked at You Qianxue, her overwhelming presence and stunning beauty left them in shock, feeling utterly insignificant, like a ugly duckling compared to a swan, unable to reach her heights.

What kind of man could possibly be worthy of such an extraordinary woman?

As they thought of this, everyone's gaze fell on Qin Chen, who was sitting opposite You Qianxue. Their hearts felt like they were about to bleed with frustration. They couldn't understand how someone of You Qianxue's status could sit so closely with such a guy, appearing so intimate.

Internally, they each suffered a hundred thousand critical hits.

"Do you want to try again?"

You Qianxue glanced at the several geniuses from the Da Wei Dynasty, lightly drained her cup of wine, exhaling like orchids.

Wu Yao's eyes flickered, his heart shook violently. You Qianxue's previous sword strike was too powerful. Although it wasn't aimed at him, he felt as if a sword was pointed at his forehead, sending chills down his spine.

He knew very well that in terms of true strength, he wasn't much stronger than his companions. The only thing that gave him an edge was his comprehension of the fist's Law, which doubled his attack power.

Even so, Wu Yao still didn’t have full confidence that he would be a match for You Qianxue.

Was this person really a genius among the Five Kingdoms? How could she be so terrifying?

Wu Yao's heart was shaken, his palms sweaty. At that moment, You Qianxue's ethereal presence grew immensely in his mind. Before gauging her bottom line, he even hesitated to fight.

However, having previously boasted, if he were to leave now, he would certainly become a laughingstock, losing face for the Da Wei Dynasty. At that point, not only would he be embarrassed, but the elders of the Tianmen House would also reprimand him.

Thus, even if he lacked confidence, he had to brace himself and stick it out, never allowing himself to show fear or retreat.

Shifting his gaze, Wu Yao focused on Qin Chen, who was opposite You Qianxue, suddenly his expression brightened.

"I may not have full confidence against this woman in white, but I have much more confidence against this youth. Although he is young and his cultivation is not weak, his strength is surely not on par with the woman in white. Moreover, from what I heard, this person seems to be a genius from the Five Kingdoms as well. If I defeat him, it will equally preserve the reputation of the Da Wei Dynasty. After that, I can leave without anyone saying anything."

Sighing in relief, Wu Yao declared loudly, "I admit my previous words were biased. There are indeed one or two decent geniuses in the Northwest Five Kingdoms, and this lady is one of them. However, I wonder if the young hero beside her possesses equally remarkable talent. Can he take on my next strike?"

As the words fell.

Whoosh!

Wu Yao's figure shot like lightning towards Qin Chen, a dazzling light bursting from his right hand, releasing an astonishing aura as he attempted to capture Qin Chen in one claw.

"This guy is too despicable, actually making a move on Qin Chen."

"Yes, he must know he is no match for You Qianxue and has shifted his target to Qin Chen."

"Damn, Qin Chen is clearly two years younger than You Qianxue. It’s said he was the youngest during the initial trials of the Five Kingdoms. Wu Yao really has calculated well."

The hall erupted, the crowd murmuring, all feeling that Wu Yao was too despicable.

"He's targeting me?" Qin Chen was taken aback, a smile curving at the corners of his mouth, did he think he was easy to bully?

He lightly picked up a piece of phoenix liver with his chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, completely ignoring Wu Yao's attack.

At the same time, he said, "Wang Qiming, although you have grasped the blade's intent, you have taken a wrong turn. Your blade intent is inclined towards anger. While anger can enhance your attacks, you must remember that anger is an emotion, not an intent. Relying on anger for your blade intent will only narrow your path, ultimately leading you astray, even to the point of losing yourself..."
