85: Chapter 85: Casually tossing out a Dongfeng missile!

Xiao Duanjiang had long since seen that these juniors were just putting on an act, exactly the same as the previous situation, but he was helpless. He couldn't force them to marry his daughter, could he?

Xiao Duanjiang heaved a long sigh.

His daughter had been diagnosed since childhood with a one-in-ten-thousand Physique—the War Heaven Overlord Body.

This Physique was Innate and different from ordinary people; it was naturally combative, allowing her to Cultivate during battle, but it had a fatal flaw: after every battle, her Physique would grow a bit more.

Consequently, although Xiao Yurou was only in her thirties, in the prime of her youth, she had already reached the Late Stage of Golden Core cultivation, and her Physique had become this muscular; even practicing Cultivation Techniques that could alter one's Physique was completely useless.

Xiao Duanjiang had sought out several famous physicians in the Cultivator world.

Most of them said that Xiao Yurou had an excess of Yang Qi in her body and that only by finding a man for Dual Cultivation to balance the Yin and Yang in her body could the side effects of the War Heaven Overlord Body be neutralized.

"Sigh, Yurou... this time, it failed again..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Yurou tugged on Xiao Duanjiang's sleeve and said softly, "Father, throw the embroidered ball."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Duanjiang was stunned for a moment, then overwhelmed with joy.

"Is there actually someone you fancy among this batch of Cultivators?!"

The embroidered ball was something Xiao Duanjiang had prepared for Xiao Yurou to choose someone she fancied; it hadn't been used in the previous ten sessions, but it was actually coming in handy this time!

Xiao Yurou nodded shyly, a look of excitement in her eyes, as she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Su Mo, who was pretending to be unconscious.

"Good, good, good! Hahahaha..."

Xiao Duanjiang was in a great mood and casually tossed the two people on the stage off the arena.

"Fellow juniors, this competition was truly spectacular; this Seat is very pleased!"

Seeing Xiao Duanjiang's joyous expression, everyone else was extremely nervous, fearing that if they weren't careful, they would be chosen.

"Although there was no one my daughter fancied this time, since you all have come, I cannot let you return disappointed."

"Therefore, this Seat has decided!"

"To specially use this embroidered ball to select one fated person from among you."

As he spoke, an embroidered ball with red and gold colors, emitting a faint spiritual light, appeared out of thin air in Xiao Duanjiang's hand.

"This embroidered ball was consecrated in the Qingyun Temple for forty-nine days; it is exceptionally profound and can select the person most fated to be with my daughter."

"Whoever is struck by the embroidered ball shall be my prospective son-in-law!"

The Cultivators present were shocked and looked at each other; if that was the case, one of them would definitely be chosen, which was even harder to dodge than the arena competition!

"There's another round?!"

Su Mo rubbed his chin, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Why isn't it over yet! I'm consuming more than I'm eating!"

He silently took a few steps back, shielding the still-dazed Lin Xiao in front of him.

Xiao Duanjiang raised his hand to throw the embroidered ball, but was interrupted by Xiao Yurou from the side.

"Now..."

"Father, let me do it."

The head-sized embroidered ball looked as small as an egg in Xiao Yurou's hands.

This embroidered ball was actually just an ordinary top-grade Spiritual Artifact; what Xiao Duanjiang said just now was merely an excuse, as the candidate had actually already been decided internally.

She swept her gaze over the Cultivators below, finally stopping at a certain spot, and gave a shy smile. Her body leaned slightly to the side and backward, her palm placed behind her head, and the embroidered ball began to emit a blinding spiritual light—

"Catch it~"

Su Mo poked half his head out from behind Lin Xiao, closely monitoring every move on the high platform.

Seeing Xiao Yurou lock her gaze onto Lin Xiao, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to pull his head back, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Yurou's gaze was shifting too; wherever his head moved, Xiao Yurou's gaze followed.

"Damn it! Not good! This woman..."

Before he could finish, the embroidered ball had already left her hand!

"BOOM—!!!"

The moment the embroidered ball left her hand, it broke the sound barrier, turning into a crimson meteor that streaked straight toward Su Mo at dozens of times the speed of sound.

The embroidered ball tore through the air, causing dirt to fly up from the ground wherever it passed, and stirring up waves dozens of meters high as it passed over the sea.

Seeing this, many Cultivators looked on in horror, scrambling to use their best trump cards to either defend themselves or flee in all directions.

"Is this f*cking a Dongfeng missile?! Is she trying to kill someone or throw an embroidered ball!"

Su Mo flew rapidly through the air, but the embroidered ball behind him bypassed everyone else, chasing after him relentlessly as if it had eyes.

"I didn't do anything, why did it target me?!"

Seeing the embroidered ball getting closer and closer, Su Mo suddenly stopped abruptly and used Blood Shadow Escape, flashing behind the embroidered ball.

"Phew, dodged it..."

Su Mo let out a long sigh of relief and looked toward the high platform, only to see a hint of an excited smile in Xiao Yurou's eyes.

"Something's not right..."

Ordinary Magic Treasures generally have more than one function, but this embroidered ball Magic Treasure had only one: extreme speed!

For this reason, this embroidered ball Magic Treasure was crafted from the lightest Materials, Feather Silkworm Silk.

Su Mo had no time to dodge; he could only perceive it with his Divine Sense.

The embroidered ball returned along the same path, but this time it was even faster, several times faster than before, and it instantly struck Su Mo in the back.

To Su Mo's surprise, the feeling of the embroidered ball striking his body was like being gently patted, not as heavy as he had imagined.

Xiao Duanjiang didn't care at all about the awkward appearance of the other Cultivators and laughed loudly, "This is Heaven's will! Come here, worthy son-in-law!"

Su Mo's vision blurred, and Xiao Yurou's muscular figure was right before his eyes.

"worthy son-in-law, you and Yurou should spend a few days together, and tomorrow we will hold the wedding ceremony for you both!"

"Father~"

Xiao Yurou's voice was soft and sweet, and she shook her body, saying annoyedly.

"Father, the person I fancy must be able to beat me, otherwise I won't agree."

After speaking, she turned her head away, looking all puffed up with anger.

Xiao Duanjiang pretended to be in a difficult position and looked at Su Mo, "worthy son-in-law, look..."

Su Mo felt speechless.

Acting! They were such good actors!

Fine, I haven't even expressed my opinion yet, and you've already got everything arranged for me, right!

A nameless fire surged in his heart.

Su Mo said indifferently, "No matter, then let us have a match."

As soon as he agreed, Su Mo appeared in the arena.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yurou jumped directly from the high platform, actually cracking the exceptionally hard arena floor.

"Eh? You are also at Golden Core Perfection?!"

Xiao Yurou was surprised to find that her cultivation was not suppressed by the Formation.

After his true cultivation was discovered, Su Mo simply put away his breath-concealing Cultivation Technique, and the aura of his Golden Core Perfection was immediately revealed without reservation.

"Why did you choose me? There's nothing about me that could attract you, right?"

"Could it be that even when I restrain my charm, I'm still this alluring?"

Su Mo couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist, you joke."

"I possess the War Heaven Overlord Body; I have been passionate about fighting since childhood and am very sensitive to those with a strong Physique."

As Xiao Yurou spoke, the look in her eyes became even more excited, and her body couldn't stop trembling.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately understood; his Physique was already strong due to the accumulation of his talents, and after being tempered by the Lightning Tribulation, it was even stronger, so it was no mistake to say his Physique was strong.

"Fine, since you've seen through it, I won't pretend anymore."

Four wings of lightning flashed behind Su Mo, and his body was completely covered by lightning-patterned armor.

Seeing that Xiao Yurou was standing still without moving.

"Fellow Daoist, are you not going to use a weapon?"

"No need, my body is my weapon!"

"What a coincidence, so is mine!"
