Su Chun watched them leave the stage, feeling a bit impatient to step up and show off.
‘As a former man, now that I have some skill, who wouldn’t want to show it to the world?’
“Wait, Husband, you’re going up now? Why not watch a bit longer? This is your first time actually fighting someone, after all.”
“She’s right. I think you should reconsider. These battles are incredibly intense. Why don’t we find a place where we can act as your opponents instead?”
Luo Yu and Luo Li still didn’t want Su Chun to take the field.
Su Chun immediately shut down their concerns with a single question.
“Would you two actually fight me with everything you’ve got?”
The two women were left speechless.
“Oh, you two… Don’t be like a pair of mother hens protecting their chick. The sister of me, Tantai Qing, is destined to be a figure who looks down on her peers. Chun’er, I support you. I’ll go grab a spot for you. Get yourself ready.”
After saying that, Tantai Qing vanished from her spot and reappeared on the battlefield.
As someone suddenly took the stage, everyone’s eyes immediately shifted toward the arena.
“Hey, isn’t that Tantai Qing? Why is she up there?”
“Tsk, tsk! I haven’t seen her in hundreds of years. She’s even more charming than back then. Man, that guy Feng Qingxuan is really lucky.”
Many cultivators who recognized Tantai Qing began to comment with interest.
There were still a few people present who fit the age requirement but possessed cultivation at the Sendai Realm, though they were mostly members of the Longevity Forces.
“Is that not the Young Madame Feng? I say, Young Madame, you’re already a mother. Are you really coming out here to fight and act tough with others?”
“Indeed. We wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you. If we accidentally hurt you, wouldn’t your husband come after us with everything he has?”
“Hahaha…”
Some old acquaintances who hadn’t seen her in a long time couldn’t help but tease her.
Tantai Qing glared at them.
“You group of thousand-year-old single dogs, are you just jealous? You’re all ancient monsters from the previous millennium, yet you’re out here pretending to be young. Haven’t you any shame?”
The members of the Feng Clan and the siblings Feng Yinyu and Feng Qingxuan suddenly felt second-hand embarrassment.
“Hee hee, Sister Qing, you really haven’t changed at all. Fine then, let me see if you’ve slacked off in your cultivation all these years.”
A woman with a charming aura, dressed in a fluffy white gown, spoke as she prepared to take the stage.
However, just as she was about to fly up, Tantai Qing interrupted her.
“Wait, it’s not my turn yet. I’m just occupying the stage for my sister so no one else beats her to it.”
Hearing this, the crowd was stunned again.
Immediately after, a rainbow bridge extended from the edge of the high platform to Tantai Qing’s side.
Su Chun, dressed in a purple gown, stepped onto the rainbow bridge and walked toward the center of the battlefield.
“Whoa, someone from the Tantai Family. So beautiful… Is she Tantai Qing’s sister?”
“That’s quite the unique entrance.”
Su Chun quickly reached Tantai Qing’s side and scanned the surroundings.
“Ahem… Sorry. Who will be my opponent?”
Su Chun’s voice was clear and bright, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.
At first, most people were captivated by Su Chun’s unique temperament and beautiful face.
But once they snapped out of it, no one responded.
It wasn’t until Tantai Qing whispered a reminder in her ear.
“Chun’er, you haven’t announced your age or cultivation level yet.”
Su Chun finally realized her mistake, looking a bit embarrassed.
“Oh! Right. Sorry about that. Brothers and sisters, I am Tantai Chun. I just turned 16 years old. I am in the Spirit Sea Realm, specifically at the peak of the Wheel Sea Realm. I hope to fight a cultivator of the same realm.”
Now, those who didn’t know Su Chun—especially her relatives—finally recognized her.
“So it’s Cousin Chun’er. It looks like her Bloodline Conflict has been resolved, and she even reached the Spirit Wheel Realm in one go. A 16-year-old in the Spirit Wheel Realm is quite rare.”
Now that they knew who she was, still no one stepped up.
“Is no one coming? Brothers and sisters from the various clans, it’s fine. Even if you injure me, I won’t hold a grudge.”
This was getting awkward.
There were too many powers present allied with the Tantai Family through marriage.
Knowing Su Chun’s identity, those forces naturally didn’t want to go up.
However, if they didn’t, and a group with bad relations with the Tantai Family stepped up instead, Su Chun would likely be in trouble.
In their eyes, how much skill could a young girl who had only recently become a cultivator truly have?
“Hmph! Tantai Qiong Hua killed our tribal chief not long ago. Perfect. We’ll go up and properly torment their Little Princess to avenge him.”
A group of tall men and women finally moved.
They were from the Barbarian Tribe.
“You little brat from the Tantai Family, I’ll take you on!”
With a shout, a wild young man over 2 meters tall dropped from the stands like a cannonball.
As he landed, his murderous aura combined with his raw strength kicked up a massive cloud of dust from the ground.
“Chun’er, he’s a cultivator of the Barbarian Tribe. Be careful. I’m leaving the stage now,” Tantai Qing warned before returning to the side of Luo Li and the others.
“Big Sister, this is…”
Luo Li and her sister were still very worried about Su Chun.
“Enough. Just watch quietly. She won’t die. As the future master of the Tantai Family, how can she fear a challenge from a cultivator of the same realm?”
Looking at the man’s expression, which seemed like he wanted to devour her, Su Chun felt a bit of trepidation in her heart.
But it only lasted for a moment.
She raised one finger, and nine-colored light flowed from her fingertip.
She quickly drew a white wolf in the void.
Her drawing speed was incredibly fast, nearly instantaneous.
After becoming a cultivator, Su Chun had integrated the Heavenly God Pen into her body.
When she needed it, she could activate its power using her own energy, making it much simpler than before.
Once the white wolf’s form was complete, it solidified into a physical entity and landed in front of Su Chun, letting out a howl at the barbarian cultivator.
“Isn’t that an Azure Moon Silver Wolf? What kind of method is the Tantai Family’s Little Princess using?”
Many people couldn’t clearly see what kind of power Su Chun was employing.
Only the Wang Family and a few other forces recognized it.
“That’s the power of the Heavenly God Pen to make drawings a reality, isn’t it? I didn’t expect my cousin to have mastered it already.”
In the Wang Family’s area, Wang Yang spoke while standing next to a tall young man.
“Let me see what the Ancestral Bloodline of the Tantai Family is capable of,” the young man beside Wang Yang said calmly.
This person was Wang Yang’s older brother and the current Young Lord of the Wang Family, Wang Hao.
The barbarian cultivator grinned and sneered.
“Little brat, you think summoning a beast is enough to deal with me? Watch me tear it apart. Don’t go crying later!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the barbarian blurred into a residual shadow and lunged.
His fist, as large as a clay pot, let out a piercing whistle as it tore through the air toward Su Chun.
The white wolf pounced immediately, biting down on the man’s massive hand.
However, the physical constitution of the Barbarian Tribe was extremely powerful.
His cultivation might only be at the Spirit Wheel Realm, but his physical strength was generally on par with the Dao Palace Realm.
“Get off me!”
The barbarian grabbed the wolf’s head and pulled with immense force, easily twisting it off in a brutal display of violence.
Fortunately, the wolf was only a creation of the Heavenly God Pen’s power.
Once killed, it simply turned into spiritual light and dissipated.
‘Is he really that brutal? I can’t let him get close.’
Su Chun began to retreat, her fingers constantly drawing in the void.
One exotic beast after another roared into existence, lunging at the barbarian cultivator in a continuous wave.
“So annoying! You brat from the Tantai Family, what kind of skill is this? Just using summoned beasts to wear me down?”
Su Chun rolled her eyes.
‘Fine, fine. I won’t summon monsters anymore. I’ll summon something else, okay?’
After grumbling to herself, she continued her Void Condensation Drawing.
Suddenly, a dark cloud condensed above the barbarian’s head.
Bolts of electricity began to dance within the cloud, and a flash of heavenly lightning struck down on the barbarian who was currently entangled by the beasts.
The electricity caused him to roar in fury and pain.
The current only targeted the barbarian cultivator and did not affect the summoned beasts at all.
