The white-robed man's expression changed, and he said, "Third Princess, you jest. How could my strength possibly withstand a single spear thrust from you? I'm afraid I would be reduced to ashes in an instant!"
Nie Qing said lazily, "Don't worry, I will suppress my power and only use the power of someone at your level!"
"In that case, I am relieved!"
The man in white breathed a sigh of relief, got into position, and waited attentively.
Lu Chen's eyes widened as well. He decided to take a good look. This Third Princess seemed quite extraordinary. Although she appeared lazy, she was full of power.
This girl is violent.
Princess Nie Qing suddenly flicked her spear, which transformed into a fierce dragon and pierced out instantly.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to shake.
The man in white, holding a long sword, had already positioned himself in front of him.
However, the spear struck the longsword directly.
Bang!
A loud bang.
The man in white was sent flying backward, spitting out blood. He collapsed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. It took him a while to recover his senses. He stood up shakily, but he could no longer hold the knife in his hand, and it fell to the ground.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Then, a deafening roar erupted from the crowd, all applauding for the third princess.
"This can't stop it?"
Lu Chen was stunned.
In his eyes, this shot was nothing special. It was simple and unpretentious, so why was the man in white blasted away?
strength?
Lu Chen suddenly realized what was going on.
Nie Qing's power was so great that the white-robed man, who was at the same level, couldn't even withstand a single spear thrust.
"Next!"
Nie Qing remained calm as he returned the spear to his shoulder once more.
This time, no one dared to go up on stage rashly.
After all, everyone will consider their own strength and whether they can withstand this shot; otherwise, going up there will only make them look foolish.
But Lu Chen was tempted.
"I'll do it!"
Lu Chen soared into the sky and landed in front of Nie Qing.
Everyone was immediately disappointed.
"What? Only at the third level of the Star Realm?"
"With this level of strength, you dare to go up there and make a fool of yourself?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
The crowd couldn't help but burst into curses.
This kid is way too overconfident.
Nie Qing also frowned. There were already rules for the martial arts contest to choose a husband. Only those with strength at the fourth level of the Star Realm or above were qualified to enter the arena.
Lu Chen had no choice but to use all his star stones, and only then did he reach the third rank. He was just a little short of entering the fourth rank of combat power.
We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Didn't you hear the rules?" Nie Qing's face turned cold, but when she saw Lu Chen's handsome face, she hesitated for a moment and did not kick him out directly.
Lu Chen smiled.
He could tell that the third princess didn't seem to have a very bad impression of him.
Lu Chen calmly replied, "The rules were set by the Third Princess herself, and she can change them at any time if she doesn't like them. However, for me, this is my only chance! I have long admired the Third Princess, and even though I know my strength is insufficient, I have to risk my life to go for it!"
"Hey, stop with the smooth talk. I've never even met you, so how could you claim to have long admired you? You've got some nerve, huh? Fine, I'll make an exception for you today. Of course, I won't hold back, and you'll have to take a shot from me too!"
Nie Qing drew his spear, ready to strike.
System notification: Your confession to Nie Qing failed. You have received the reward [Earth Source Spirit Crystal].
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
"What's this?"
He hesitated for a moment, then immediately chose to use it. The earth spirit crystal then disappeared, transforming into a stream of pure energy that directly merged into his body.
"Huh?"
Lu Chen felt that he hadn't changed much, but his defense seemed to have become much stronger, with a thick energy protecting his entire body.
"Could it be that this Earth Source Spirit Crystal enhances defense?"
Lu Chen secretly wondered to himself.
Suddenly, Nie Qing made his move, thrusting out with his spear, though with slightly less power than before.
After all, Lu Chen's displayed strength was only at the third level of the Star Realm.
The spear struck the Thunder Sword in Lu Chen's hand directly.
boom!
It was another loud bang.
Lu Chen felt himself being hit hard, and a terrifying force traveled through his entire body via the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his hand.
His figure continued to retreat, and this force was continuous.
"Amazing!"
Lu Chen was secretly shocked. This shot, though seemingly simple, was extremely powerful.
If I weren't also known for my strength, I might not have been able to withstand it.
"Huh? You actually caught it!"
Nie Qing was stunned for a moment.
That was a bit unexpected.
Lu Chen stood up, walked back to Nie Qing, smiled, and said, "Third Princess, I caught it. It must be that you were moved by my devotion that you showed mercy. Third Princess, I will not change my name or surname..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Nie Qing waved her hand to stop Lu Chen from continuing, saying, "I have no interest in knowing your name. Where did you come from and where did you go? You were knocked back so far, what kind of catch is that?"
Lu Chen was delighted upon hearing this.
System notification: Your confession to Nie Qing failed. You have received the reward [Water Source Spirit Crystal]!
"use!"
Instantly, Lu Chen felt that the numbness in his arm and the soreness in his shoulder after taking that bullet had completely disappeared.
