The Wu family, Yuan family, and others looked rather grim, as the existence of such a genius in the Chu family was a great misfortune for their families.
City Lord Xie Yi sighed inwardly, thinking what a pity that such a talented and beautiful woman had rejected the marriage proposal from the Qi King's family.
Sang Hong's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that Chu Chuyan was a woman; otherwise, with such a capable son, Chu Zhongtian would have been unable to carry out any of his plans.
Everyone thought Chu Chuyan had won the competition, and even Chu Chuyan herself said, "Thank you for the concession... Huh?"
She originally intended to withdraw her energy to unseal her opponent, but suddenly sensed something was wrong. Looking up at the ice sculpture in the air, she saw that the outer ice shell was cracking inch by inch, and finally turned into a cloud of white powder. Wu Di landed back on the ground, his whole body glowing, as if there was a transparent film around him.
"Sixth rank!"
Everyone in the room was stunned. The elemental protective membrane was a unique feature of the sixth rank, capable of blocking attacks from low-level elements.
"How could they be sixth-rank!" Qin Wanru suddenly stood up, her face full of disbelief.
Chu Zhongtian also looked at the Wu family with lightning speed: "Lord Yangquan, what do you mean by this?" He knew, of course, that the Yuan family did not have this kind of background, and the other party must be from the Wu family.
Wu Wei smiled and said, "I don't understand what you're saying, Lord Mingyue. It's a competition between your Chu family and the Yuan family, why are you asking me?"
Chu Zhongtian snorted: "You and I both know exactly what happened."
Wu Wei said, "It's just a sixth-rank official, why is Lord Mingyue making such a fuss? I don't think the clan competition says that sixth-rank officials are not allowed to participate, Prefect, am I wrong?"
Sang Hong nodded: "That's right, there is no such rule."
Chu Zhongtian frowned. There was indeed no such rule, but the competition between the two families selected their own children to participate. How could the younger generation possibly have a sixth-grade cultivation level?
Even someone as talented as Chu Chuyan is only at the peak of the fifth rank. Could it be that the unknown Di Wu on the other side has an even higher aptitude?
Wu Wei laughed and said, "Master Mingyue, your daughter isn't the only genius in this world. The situation is already quite clear. Why don't you let your daughter admit defeat in advance? Otherwise, it might hurt her."
It is universally acknowledged that a sixth-rank official has an overwhelming advantage over a fifth-rank official. This is not dependent on individual ability. After all, the elemental power of a fifth-rank official is practically useless in front of a sixth-rank official's protective barrier, so what's the point of fighting?
Chu Zhongtian looked at his daughter in the arena, and just as he was about to speak, Chu Chuyan's cold voice came from the arena: "The fight isn't over yet, why admit defeat?"
At this moment, Shi Kun couldn't help but say, "Miss Chu, as everyone knows, there is a world of difference between the fifth and sixth ranks. This is not a fault of your own, so don't be stubborn. Even if you admit defeat, it will not damage your reputation in the slightest."
He worried that if the other party forced a high-level battle, they might accidentally leave a scar on their perfect body, which would be a real shame. If they were to be disfigured by accident, that would be even more unacceptable.
Chu Chuyan said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Shi. I know what I'm doing."
Yuan Zhengchu, the head of the Yuan family, laughed and said, "Since that's the case, Di Wu, you can have another match with Miss Chu. Just remember not to hurt her."
Wu Di smiled slightly: "That's natural."
Chu Zhongtian knew his daughter would never act recklessly, so when he heard her say that, he agreed to continue the competition. At the same time, he secretly instructed her, "If you do something wrong, just admit defeat. Just don't hurt yourself."
Chu Chuyan nodded and quietly looked at Wu Di opposite her.
Wu Di couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Chu, you are indeed a genius, but there is a huge gap between us. Your Snowflake Divine Sword did no damage to me at all. I don't know what the point is for you to keep fighting."
Chu Chuyan finally spoke her first words to him: "Nothing in this world is absolute."
As soon as she finished speaking, she transformed into a blur, her long sword gleaming coldly as she attacked him from all angles.
Wu Di instantly understood her thoughts. She clearly knew that elemental attributes couldn't harm him, so she simply abandoned elemental attacks and focused all her strength on swordsmanship, intending to decide the outcome with exquisite swordsmanship.
That's incredibly naive. You can't use elemental attacks, but I can.
He stomped his foot on the ground, and two chains of flame appeared on the ground, like two serpentine snakes that quickly coiled around the other person's feet.
Seeing that he had successfully entangled his target, he felt a pang of regret. It would be such a waste to leave burn scars on the feet of such a stunning beauty.
However, his expression suddenly changed, because he noticed that what he had entangled was only a phantom. He hurriedly turned his sword to defend himself, and sure enough, Chu Chuyan had already appeared behind him.
The two exchanged several blows in an instant. He secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Was this the true strength of a genius? He was a whole realm above her and he was still having such a hard time fighting her. If they were at the same realm, wouldn't he have been defeated long ago?
Thinking of this, he dared not show the slightest pity for the woman and focused all his attention on dealing with the situation.
This put immense pressure on Chu Chuyan. Surrounded by flashes of swords and flames, she narrowly escaped several times.
Shi Kun on the stage sat up straight and stared coldly at Wu Di, thinking to himself, "If you dare to leave any scars on my woman, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"The game is over, Miss Chu!" Wu Di was worried that something might happen if the game went on too long, so he stopped holding back. He seized an opportunity and suddenly transformed his long sword into a flaming blade nearly thirty meters long, slashing at his opponent. This slash was several times more powerful than the previous one in both size and momentum, far exceeding the energy of a fifth-grade cultivator.
Even Chu Zhongtian stood up, ready to rush over to rescue his daughter at any moment if things went wrong, even if they lost the competition.
Just then, a mocking voice came from below the stage: "Wu Di, your mom is calling you home for dinner."

I had insomnia again last night, and didn't fall asleep until after 5 a.m. I feel like I'm entering old age prematurely...
In addition, this book will be available soon. I'm a little panicked to see that it only has 3,400 favorites. Based on the normal subscription-to-collection ratio, I estimate that it will only have a few hundred subscriptions. Is it because I'm too nervous that I can't sleep?
