Chapter 392: Are There Still Experts?

In contrast, the scions of noble families present seemed somewhat awkward.

Not only did all twelve challengers in the first batch lose, but three unknown dark horses also stole the limelight.

This was no longer just about their personal reputation, but about the honor of their Families.

Therefore, after Wu Xian and his two companions successfully completed their challenges, the scions of noble families were shocked, but also began to roll up their sleeves and prepare for battle with full effort.

Take Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe, for example.

Bai Shiqi, on his part, mainly wanted to follow in the footsteps of Wu Xian, his peer 'idol,' and verify the results of his own hard work.

And so, while audiences worldwide were mocking these scions of noble families, Bai Shiqi silently ascended the Fire God Heavenly Rider's arena.

He released the gold scroll Flame Goddess, which had not been seen for a long time. The current 'Flame Goddess' was already an eight-star gold scroll, exuding an astonishing aura of flames.

She was completely different from the Flame Goddess Wu Xian had seen before, having been thoroughly reconstructed from a flame spirit body into a human Physical Body.

"Excellent, Brother Bai has indeed made progress!"

Wu Xian curiously observed the Flame Goddess on the stage, sensing a hint of Sekhmet, the Goddess of Destruction, in her.

As the Goddess of Destruction in ancient Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet was also the Goddess of Fire.

It was just that Bai Shiqi's Flame Goddess had not yet fully developed the 'lion's head' image, but her body already sported a terrifying cobra spitting flames.

Of course, the image didn't necessarily have to strictly conform to the standard.

Just like Wu Xian designed Dispenser of Oblivion Soup to be a beautiful girl, as long as the background and power-level concepts were well-conceived, it would suffice.

And although Bai Shiqi's Flame Goddess had not evolved a 'lion's head,' the overall image of this goddess was already very fitting.

She had a touch of 'Cleopatra' style, a proper Egyptian appearance.

After some observation, the completion rate had reached at least 40%.

It's unknown how his 'Desert God of Death' has been refined?

The subsequent battles were also incredibly intense.

The Fire God Heavenly Rider was, after all, the Fire God Heavenly Rider, and he engaged in a magnificent battle with the Flame Goddess.

Ultimately, Bai Shiqi, with his extraordinary perseverance, and accompanied by the Flame Goddess, narrowly won, successfully taking home a scroll master and regaining some face for the vast number of scions of noble families.

Then, other scions of noble families also revealed their trump cards and participated in the challenges.

They showcased the strength and heritage of their Families to the world.

Although the final results were a mix of wins and losses, it still proved the capabilities of the scions of noble families.

Zhao Qinghe also brought his Yellow Springs Ugly Woman to participate in the challenge, as he couldn't let Xue Lingling outshine him.

Unfortunately, the result was a bit awkward.

Just barely, by a tiny margin, the Yellow Springs Ugly Woman ultimately lost to the Death God Sky Knight.

After his defeat, Zhao Qinghe was crestfallen, his face grim, unable to accept it internally.

Little did he know, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling didn't care about him at all.

At this moment, their attention was focused on the battle on another arena.

Guarding the arena was the [Sword God Sky Knight] among the Twelve Heavenly Riders, a mecha with a distinct 俠客 (swordsman/knight-errant) and sword master style. It was entirely black, interspersed with some dark red stripes and embellishments, with several sword-like shapes, actually wings, 插 (inserted/attached) to its back.

A scarlet energy cloak fluttered fiercely behind it, which was incredibly cool!

In its hand, it held a strangely shaped black sword, dragging it diagonally, radiating Killing Intent.

Of course, the focus wasn't the Sword God Sky Knight, but the Sword God Sky Knight's opponent: a young Scion of Noble Families from the Tiangong Taoist Temple, wearing luxurious black and gold light armor, holding a long spear with a unique aura.

The moment they saw that long spear, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling caught a whiff of Wang Xiaocong's scent.

Sure enough, the instant the young man infused spiritual power into the long spear, a black Dragon roared and appeared behind him, like a martial spirit.

This drew the astonished attention of the entire audience.

After all, mainstream audiences had no impression or concept of Body Cultivator Spirit Masters.

The Tiangong Taoist Temple youth's dashing entrance, combined with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and handsome appearance, instantly captivated countless young girls.

Subsequently, the great battle with the Sword God Sky Knight elevated the concept of 'combat' to another level.

The battles between other Scroll Masters and Spirit Masters were basically all about punches and kicks colliding between scrolls, and skill clashes.

But this battle, however, exuded a strong sense of 'artistry.'

Whether it was the Sword God Sky Knight's sword Move or the Tiangong Taoist Temple youth's spear techniques and combat skills, they all revealed a sense of precision, elegance, and aesthetic pleasure.

The black Dragon accompanied the youth's spear tip, soaring and roaring, and the special effects were not lacking either.

The key point was that this Tiangong Taoist Temple youth was also a seventh-stage Body Cultivator, with the nascent form of a spiritual energy circuit faintly appearing around his body.

He ultimately narrowly lost to the Sword God Sky Knight, but he left a deep impression on everyone.

"Tiangong Dao Hall is also showcasing new things!"

"Weapons with special spirit bodies, that's pretty cool, everyone."

"It's absolutely awesome, okay?"

"Damn it, this is how real men should fight, not by controlling scrolls."

"A seventh-stage Body Cultivator, he looks to be under thirty, right?"

"Uh, is a seventh-stage Body Cultivator very strong?"

"Let me put it this way, a seventh-stage Body Cultivator can already serve as the highest-ranking officer in local military departments in some second and third-tier cities."

"Holy crap, that's indeed quite impressive."

"Everyone might not understand the concept of a seventh-stage Body Cultivator in their twenties; they are definitely considered a Genius among Geniuses."

"If I'm not mistaken, this guy should have held back just now. You know, a seventh-stage Body Cultivator can already directly confront a power-type seven-star gold scroll with just their Physical Body strength."

"Really? Body Cultivators are that powerful?"

"They are powerful, but Cultivating is also truly arduous; most people simply can't persevere."

"No matter, as long as I'm poor enough, I'll definitely persevere!"

...Unknowingly, the scions of noble families had basically finished their challenges, with both wins and losses.

The series of matches was highly entertaining, allowing both the live and online audiences to feast their eyes.

And after the challenges by the scions of noble families concluded, it was time for other young talents to step up and challenge.

However, unlike the initial scene of crowds rushing forward, after witnessing the complete defeat of the scions of noble families and realizing the power of the Twelve Heavenly Riders, not many people dared to easily step up and challenge.

After all, if even the noble scions of noble families couldn't necessarily win the challenge, there was even less hope for those from ordinary Families or collateral branches of noble families.

But there were also some young talents who bravely took the stage to showcase themselves.

Unfortunately, they all ended up losing miserably.

Watching from below, they hadn't felt much, but only after truly stepping onto the stage to challenge did they deeply realize the power of the Twelve Heavenly Riders.

Until an elegant woman with a dignified demeanor gracefully floated down onto the [Light Heavenly Rider]'s arena.

Initially, people thought she would quickly lose, just like the other challengers.

But when that woman released a shining gold scroll, the laughter from the entire audience instantly disappeared, and everyone stared in astonishment at the peculiar humanoid scroll with flowing wings on the stage.

"There are still experts?!"

Wu Xian rose from his seat, his expression uncertain and surprised, his breathing quickening.

"That is... Baldr? And a perfectly conceived Baldr!"
