233: Next

"Uncle, then do you think I can participate?"

Little girl's eyes lit up slightly as she asked excitedly.

When she competed with others in her clan, everyone let her win, which was boring. Now, no one here knew her, so she should be able to fight to her heart's content, right?

"You?"

The passerby uncle's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then he shook his head and said earnestly, "Little girl, on the arena, swords have no eyes. This is not a place for children to play. You should wait until you're older."

"Hmph, I'm not a child!"

Little girl was a bit displeased. She turned around and tugged at Wu Ning's clothes at his waist, "Brother, Little girl also wants to participate in that Prodigy Gathering..."

"Mm, of course you can."

Wu Ning nodded slightly.

He had brought her out to travel in the first place, and participating in a Prodigy Gathering was part of their journey. Anyway, with him watching, nothing unexpected would happen.

"Oh, Brother, you're so good!"

Little girl instantly jumped up happily.

The uncle on the road immediately became anxious and started lecturing Wu Ning, "Hey, I say, how are you being a brother? Your sister is still so young, how can you let her..."

The next second, Wu Ning directly disappeared with Little girl.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you running? Young people nowadays, they really have no manners at all."

"No, I have to go and see..."

The passerby uncle mumbled, then turned and plunged into the crowded mass of people, heading towards the center of White Emperor Plaza.

...

On the arena in the center of White Emperor Plaza.

Boom—!

A man in black was kicked in the chest, instantly spitting blood and flying backward. His body, like a cannonball, heavily impacted the defensive barrier around the arena, then bounced off and fell outside the ring.

"Useless!"

"You, with your meager abilities, dare to challenge this Young Master? You overestimate yourself. Go back and Cultivate for a few more years!"

On the arena, a young man in a blue robe said with disdain.

"Woo! Wang Zhen is mighty!"

"Wang Zhen is invincible, number one in the Emperor Realm!"

"Ahhh, Wang Zhen is so handsome!"

The surrounding spectators immediately erupted in deafening cheers.

Wang Zhen felt the worshipful gazes of the crowd and felt a surge of pride. He held his head high, raised a finger, and calmly said, "Next!"

"Next, next!"

A wave of enthusiastic shouts rose again from all around.

"Arrogant! I'll fight you!"

A burly young man with a rugged face leaped onto the arena, his eyes defiant, "This is as far as you go. Remember, my name is Lu Kai, the one who defeats you."

Wang Zhen said coldly, "I hope your strength matches your tone, otherwise I will break your limbs!"

"Haha, come if you dare!"

Boom—!

The two instantly clashed, without any probing. They went all out from the start.

Spells collided, divine light overflowed, and every move carried astonishing power. The powerful energy impact made the defensive barrier hum, further exciting the surrounding audience.

On a viewing platform near the high stage.

"Just charge! He's just making a feint, why are you dodging? Your speed is too slow, you can't even touch his shadow!"

"Oh no, tricked again! These two guys are too weak!"

Little girl watched anxiously, wishing she could immediately rush onto the stage and give those two guys a good beating.

Boom!

In less than a hundred rounds, the burly young man was defeated. It was clear that although their cultivation was similar, there was still a significant gap between his strength and Wang Zhen's.

"I surrender!"

The burly young man threw out these words, then instantly flashed and disappeared from the arena. Staying any longer would be too humiliating.

"Hmph—!"

"Tsk, I thought he was so great, turns out he was just a silver spear and wax head!"

"Wang Zhen!"

"Wang Zhen!"

After a round of disdain, the surroundings once again enthusiastically cheered Wang Zhen's name, and the atmosphere grew even more fervent.

"Haha, who else!"

Wang Zhen's heart surged with emotion, and he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, his gaze sweeping arrogantly across all directions.

"I'm coming!"

Little girl immediately cried out impatiently, then transformed into a streak of light and instantly flew onto the arena.

"Huh, where did this Little girl come from?"

"What's going on? This is a Prodigy Gathering, how can a girl who hasn't even fully developed get on stage? Why aren't her elders doing anything about it?"

"Hehe, such a cute Little girl, a punch would probably make her cry for a long time, wouldn't it?"

"Little girl, hurry down, this isn't a place for children!"

A chorus of boos rose from all around.

Wang Zhen was also slightly stunned, his expression odd as he said, "Little girl, do you know what kind of place this is that you dare to come up? Hurry down, getting on the arena isn't child's play. No one will care if you cry."

Only a few Immortal King powerhouses on the high platform had a strange glint in their eyes.

"Oh? This Little girl isn't simple, is she?"

"Isn't that obvious? Although her cultivation is concealed by a Magic Treasure, just that speed when she got on stage, the Emperor Realm definitely can't do it. How could she be simple?"

"Tsk, I wonder which family's little monster has run out. I think Wang Zhen is probably in trouble this time."

On the arena.

Little girl looked at Wang Zhen and asked very seriously, "Weren't you guys just playing like children before?"

Wang Zhen was stunned, "You said I was playing like a child?"

"Isn't that right?"

Little girl said with a strange expression.

"I..."

Wang Zhen felt his nose about to be twisted out of shape from anger, "What a sharp-tongued Little girl! Hmph, today I shall properly discipline you on behalf of your elders."

Wang Zhen snorted coldly and flashed, pouncing towards her.

Boom—!

However, the next instant he turned into an afterimage and flew backward, instantly crashing into the defensive barrier with a thunderous roar.

Everyone watched dumbfounded, their jaws dropping to the floor.

"Heavens, what did I see? Wang Zhen was actually sent flying with one move?"

"Holy crap, how is this possible? Is the world crazy or am I crazy?"

"I don't believe it, this must be fake! Illusion, it's all an illusion!"

On the arena, Little girl imitated Wang Zhen's earlier posture, proudly raising her head slightly, one hand on her hip, the other raising a finger, "Next!"

"Cough cough..."

Wang Zhen fell to the ground, shaking his head in disbelief, "How is this possible? How could I lose?!"

He couldn't accept this fact. He pushed himself up with both hands, flying back onto the arena, "I was careless just now. I can absolutely not lose to a Little girl!"

"Little girl, go to hell!"

Boom!

Wang Zhen roared furiously, striking at Little girl with a full-powered palm.

Bang—!

Wang Zhen only felt a blur before his eyes, followed by an irresistible force impacting his body, slamming him hard against the defensive barrier.

In that instant, he seemed to hear countless crisp sounds of bones shattering.

Bang!

Wang Zhen fell to the ground again, unable to get up for a long time.

He stared blankly at the small figure on the arena, "I... how could I lose..."
