613: Long Aotian intervened

After listening to Wan Xixi's introduction, a trace of surprise flashed in Long Aotian's eyes.

He really hadn't expected that this boy at the Haotian Realm Third Layer before him was actually a participant in the Grand Competition.

Originally, he had thought that Yang Lingchen was just Wan Xixi's attendant.

Afterwards, Long Aotian chatted with Wan Xixi for a few more sentences before returning to the main seat.

He picked up his wine glass and said loudly, "Welcome everyone to this banquet hosted by This Prince."

"Eighth Prince is too polite." Everyone at the scene raised their wine glasses.

"Everyone here is a young Genius and Prodigy of the Dragon God Star Domain. It is fate that we are fortunate enough to gather here today. You can take this opportunity to communicate well. If anyone is interested in developing in Sacred Dragon City in the future, I, Long Aotian, will definitely give my full support," Long Aotian laughed heartily.

"Eighth Prince, you are too polite. It is already our great honor that you could spare time from your busy schedule to host us. In the future, if Eighth Prince needs anything, we will go through fire and water without hesitation," a handsome-looking man said with righteous indignation.

"He Shen is right. In the future, as long as Eighth Prince has a place where we are needed, we will definitely go all out," many youths said one after another.

"Damn, a bunch of bootlickers!" Yang Lingchen cursed inwardly, then started eating on his own.

"Bastard, have you never eaten before?" Wan Xixi said irritably.

"Xixi, don't just stand there! These delicacies are made from top-grade Spirit Medicine; it would be a waste not to eat more," Yang Lingchen said while eating.

Seeing this, Wan Xixi sat down as well, and the two began to eat as if no one else was around.

"Eighth Prince, it is rare for the Geniuses of the major forces to gather here today. If we just drink, it would seem too monotonous," Mo Tianyu said.

"Does Young Master Mo have any good suggestions?" Long Aotian said with a smile.

"Everyone present is a young Genius of our Yao Race. I presume you are all very confident in your personal Combat Power. Why don't we use martial arts to make friends and spar with each other? It would just add a little fun to this banquet. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Mo Tianyu said nonchalantly.

"Mo Tianyu is right. Our Yao Race Geniuses have always been combative. If we just drink, it is indeed too monotonous. Besides, the Grand Competition of the Dragon God Star Domain is coming up soon, so it is a good thing for everyone to communicate with each other," a dark-skinned youth beside Mo Tianyu stood up and said.

This dark-skinned youth was named Zhong Feifan, the Young Clan Chief of the Black Ape Clan.

"Since everyone has such elegant interest, This Prince will fulfill your wishes. However, everyone must remember, sparring and communication are fine, but you must stop at a certain point to avoid damaging harmony," Long Aotian said.

"Eighth Prince is right!" Everyone at the scene echoed.

Afterwards, everyone moved the banquet tables and chairs to the area around the Arena outside the main hall.

This Arena was very vast, and it was also blessed with powerful Formations around it, enough to support Cultivators of the Haotian Realm fighting inside.

As the battles continued, Geniuses from various Yao Race forces began to challenge each other one after another.

Yang Lingchen watched the battles of the Yao Race Geniuses while eating.

At the same time, he was also very shocked. In the same Realm, Yao Race Geniuses were clearly a grade stronger than human Cultivators.

Don't look at the fact that these Yao Race Geniuses only had cultivation levels at the Peak of the Haotian Realm; when they truly fought, these Yao Race youths absolutely possessed the strength to defeat human Cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

"Will that Long Aotian also participate in the Grand Competition?" Yang Lingchen asked in a low voice.

"Of course. Why? Lost confidence?" Wan Xixi giggled.

"Even if he participates, so what?" Yang Lingchen's voice was calm, but his tone carried a trace of unquestionable confidence, "With me here, he can only compete for second place."

"Bastard! If you can really defeat him, what would it matter if This Young Lady becomes your concubine?" Wan Xixi said coquettishly.

"Cut that out. With your character, I wouldn't believe a word you say," Yang Lingchen smiled and continued eating.

Just at this moment, Mo Tianyu walked over, and following behind him was the gloomy youth who had been slapped away by Wan Xixi earlier.

"Wan Xixi, get on the Arena!" Mo Tianyu's voice was extremely cold, and his sharp eyes surged with a strong Battle Intent.

"Since you are looking for humiliation, This Young Lady will fulfill your wish." Wan Xixi snorted coldly, her figure ethereal like a swallow, and she instantly landed on the Arena.

Although Wan Xixi was a woman, her personality was extremely combative; otherwise, she wouldn't have challenged Yang Lingchen the first time they met.

Mo Tianyu's expression was gloomy. He suddenly leaped up and also landed on the Arena.

"Stinky brat! I'll be waiting for you on the Arena for the next match." The gloomy youth glared coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Your face hasn't even stopped swelling yet! And you're running over here to act tough again. Who gave you the courage?" Yang Lingchen chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.

"Brat, the more arrogant you are now, the more miserable you will be later," the gloomy youth said coldly.

Yang Lingchen did not respond to him but instead focused his attention on the Arena.

At this moment, Wan Xixi and Mo Tianyu were already fighting. Both of their cultivation levels were at the Peak of the Haotian Realm, and they were also the number one Geniuses of their respective forces; their true Combat Power could be said to be evenly matched.

Wan Xixi's swordsmanship was extremely sharp and tricky, while Mo Tianyu's defense was very steady. The two exchanged blows back and forth for hundreds of rounds, and for a time, neither gained any advantage.

The battle continued, and their speed became faster and faster. From the initial sparring state, it looked more like a life-and-death battle by the end, and their various killing moves emerged one after another.

"Young Miss Wan, Young Master Mo, you two should stop here!"

"With the strength of you two, it is hard to determine a winner in a short time. It would be better to save it for the Grand Competition."

Just at this moment, Long Aotian's voice rang out. His figure flashed suddenly and instantly appeared in the center of the Arena. He struck out with a palm to his left and right, directly forcing Wan Xixi and Mo Tianyu apart from the battle.

"Wan Xixi, we'll see." Mo Tianyu's expression was extremely gloomy, and he forcibly swallowed a mouthful of essence blood in his throat.

In the battle just now, it looked like they were in a stalemate, but he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Long Aotian's intervention, he would undoubtedly lose if they continued fighting.

"Stop acting tough in front of This Young Lady. Don't you know your own situation?" Wan Xixi's eyes were full of disdain.

"You...!" Mo Tianyu was so angry that his face turned livid.

"You what? If you are not convinced, let's fight again!" Wan Xixi said coldly.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Hurry down, others still need to challenge!" Long Aotian quickly came out to smooth things over.

The two left one more harsh remark before walking down from the Arena.

At this moment, the gloomy youth from Lion Demon Ridge walked onto the Arena. His eyes swept over Yang Lingchen, carrying a trace of provocation, and said: "Brat, come up and fight!"

"Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill your wish."

A cold light flashed in the depths of Yang Lingchen's eyes. He was not a person who liked to cause trouble, but if others provoked him, he would not be afraid of trouble either.

He leaped into the air and instantly landed on the Arena.

"Brat, with only a cultivation level of the Haotian Realm Third Layer, you dare to come and participate in the Star Domain Grand Competition? Today, I will let you know how trash your strength is."

A cold glint appeared in the gloomy youth's eyes. He struck out with a palm, carrying a trace of cold chill, and instantly slapped towards Yang Lingchen's cheek.

In his view, Yang Lingchen, a mere Haotian Realm Third Layer, could not possibly block this move of his; after all, the gap in cultivation level between the two was simply too great.

Seeing the opponent underestimate him so much, Yang Lingchen sneered. He suddenly swung his right hand, and immediately an invisible force of Qi, carrying a trace of dazzling light, struck the gloomy youth's face before the opponent's attack could land.
