Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1687: There Are Plenty Out There

In the high sky.

The woman stands in mid-air.

Her supreme bearing instantly becomes the focus of everyone’s attention.

There is no need for excessive decorations, already she shines the brightest, unmatched by anyone.

On the ground, Xiao Yi glanced up and frowned.

Ran Qi stared straight up, gnashing his teeth.

Among the tens of thousands of martial artists around, expressions of amazement appear on their faces; their gazes, some filled with fervor, some with awe, some with infatuation, and some unable to extricate themselves...

Yet, all these varied gazes are suddenly overshadowed by a single glance.

No one knows who it is, but suddenly a loud voice calls out, "Is Young Master Shui Ninghan also here to compete for a spot?"

"Hmm?" The tens of thousands of martial artists around immediately react.

The originally fervent, awe-filled, infatuated, and inescapable gazes instantly turn into frowns and vigilance.

"That’s correct." In the high sky, Shui Ninghan nods lightly and her voice is very gentle.

"Absolutely not." A martial artist first shouts loudly.

"The contest has already begun, how can someone suddenly intervene now?"

"Indeed." More and more martial artists shout loudly, "This contest for spots gathers the major forces of the Central Region, it’s not child’s play."

"The contest has been ongoing for quite some time."

"Although Young Master Shui Ninghan’s reputation is remarkable, it does not mean you can disrupt the rules."

Some martial artists even stand up and express their dissatisfaction, "So what if you’re Shui Ninghan? Strong as she may be, she hasn’t participated in a single contest before."

"Is it possible that the contest relies on reputation? Without battling once, just relying on reputation, you’re going to eliminate most of our previous Heavenly Talents?"

Shui Ninghan’s current situation is exactly like when Xiao Yi first arrived.

Just like the name Purple Flame Yi Xiao, now known by everyone in the Central Region.

The name Shui Ninghan is equally well-known in the Central Region.

The number one ranked talent of the Eighteen Mansions is already enough to indicate everything.

Having such a figure join is equivalent to losing a spot for nothing.

Naturally, almost all martial artists present are unwilling.

In the high sky.

Shui Ninghan’s face remains aloof, her voice still so gentle, "Even if I had come earlier, so what?"

"Who among you can be my opponent?"

"Palace Master Ao." As she talks, Shui Ninghan looks towards Ao Donglou seated in the chief seat of the audience.

Ao Donglou nods and stands up, saying loudly, "A month ago, Young Master Shui Ninghan had already asked for my permission."

"Considering Young Master Shui Ninghan’s strength, I opened a convenient door for her."

"After all, even if Young Master Shui Ninghan had come earlier, there are very few at her level to draw lots against."

"However." Ao Donglou pauses suddenly as he speaks, glancing at Shui Ninghan, showing a hint of apology.

"Here, I must apologize first."

"Originally, Young Master Shui’s strength was indeed unquestionable to other young talents."

"But I hadn’t anticipated Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao would also come to my Dongli Sword Palace and participate in this contest."

"Hence, if Young Master Shui had arrived earlier, she should have already drawn lots to compete at Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao’s level."

"Therefore, regarding whether Young Master Shui can now directly participate in the contest, I must ask for Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao’s opinion."

Wow...

Instantly, everyone’s attention turns towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi slightly frowns.

In fact, when Shui Ninghan first appeared in the sky, everyone’s gaze was already fixed on her.

But no one noticed, from the moment Shui Ninghan appeared, her gaze was always fixed on Xiao Yi.

Including this very moment.

Whoosh... Shui Ninghan suddenly descends from the high sky, arriving before Xiao Yi.

"I never thought the famous Purple Flame Yi Xiao would actually be here." Shui Ninghan chuckles, "Greetings, young lady."

Despite saying ’greetings’, there isn’t the slightest intention to pay respect, just a faint nod.

"Miss Shui is too kind." Xiao Yi responds indifferently.

Shui Ninghan chuckles, "I think a figure like Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao would not refuse my participation in the contest out of battle fears."

Once Shui Ninghan speaks, she uses the words ’battle fear’.

If it were any ordinary martial artist, it wouldn’t matter.

But given Yi Xiao’s current reputation, if he refuses for even half a sentence, it might easily remind people of ’battle fear’, including all the martial artists present.

"It doesn’t matter to me." Xiao Yi says indifferently.

"That’s good then." Shui Ninghan nods and then glances at Ran Qi beside her, "Oh, so the eternal number two is here as well."

"Just now I almost missed you."

Shui Ninghan casually says, yet she covers her mouth and giggles.

"You..." Ran Qi immediately becomes furious, "You nasty woman, you..."

"What?" Shui Ninghan speaks first, "Want to battle me?"

Ran Qi instantly gathers the Mad Dragon Cloud Piercing Spear in his hand, "Nasty woman, bring it on, I’m not afraid of you!"

Shui Ninghan chuckles without speaking, her gaze looks towards Ao Donglou at the chief seat of the audience.

Ao Donglou nods, "Since Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao and Young Master Ran Qi have no objections, the Young Master Shui may join the audience seat, and her number will be added to the draw lot later."

"Thank you." Shui Ninghan cups her hands.

Xiao Yi glances at the scene, squinting his eyes again.

This woman is very clever.

Her current situation is exactly like Xiao Yi’s situation before.

It’s interesting that she, like Xiao Yi, finds Ran Qi and lets Ran Qi speak.

Perhaps it’s not just coincidence, but that both she and Xiao Yi know that Ran Qi, this Martial Arts Fool, is a good breakthrough point.

Of course, in reality, finding Ran Qi as a breakthrough point is just an easier way to resolve these pointless disputes.

For the two of them, if they want to act with absolute strength, no one would dare to speak more.

"Oh right." Shui Ninghan, about to leave for the audience seat.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly stops and turns back, facing Xiao Yi.

"Earlier, if my eyes didn’t deceive me."

"Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao seemed to be gazing directly at me as well."

"Hehe." Shui Ninghan chuckles, "Could it be that Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao is also captivated by the young lady’s supreme demeanor and stunning beauty?"

"If that’s the case, the young lady wouldn’t mind."

Shui Ninghan doesn’t sound as her name suggests, which would make one feel cold.

Rather, she laughs very sweetly, with crescent eyes, appearing quite carefree.

One must admit, Shui Ninghan is very beautiful.

With such an exquisite face, and that dreamy feeling, it’s enough to make any man indulge and unable to extricate himself.

Including the martial artists in the audience seat, the previous momentary gaze filled with infatuation and fervor is the best proof.

Yet Xiao Yi indifferently shakes his head, "No."

"No?" Shui Ninghan chuckles, "Right, of course."

"The esteemed Purple Flame Yi Xiao surely knows the saying ’red powder skulls’, a face is just an outer husk, not worth mentioning, how could he entertain such mundane thoughts and glances."

"Not quite." Xiao Yi indifferently shakes his head.

"It’s just that, I’ve seen quite a few beautiful women; and those more beautiful than Miss Shui, there are plenty."

After saying this, Xiao Yi looks at Ran Qi and indifferently says, "Let’s go."

The two turn and leave.

Behind them, Shui Ninghan’s tone stalls, "You..."

First update.
