Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

“This isn’t possible. How can there be such guqin music Daoist Rhyme in this world?!” Jing Nian stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.

In face of Chu Kuangren’s guqin music, she could not produce any intent of having a musical duel with him. She had been defeated, utterly defeated!

After playing the Boundless Overworld song, Chu Kuangren picked up his guqin, looked at Jing Nian, and said, “It’s your turn now, take it away.”

Jing Nian was extremely anxious now.

‘My turn, you say?’

‘What do you mean my turn? Can I even continue the musical duel like this?’

“I concede defeat!”

Jing Nian took out the Fire Spirit Crystal and tossed it over to Chu Kuangren. She then inquired curiously, “May I ask if you’re a Musical Daoist Grandmaster?”

“Musical Dao is not my specialty. I’m merely doing it to pass time. I don’t think I’m worthy of being called a Grandmaster.”

Chu Kuangren said indifferently once he took the Fire Spirit Crystal over. Meanwhile, the audience who had just come back to their senses from that guqin music earlier now looked baffled. Even Lady Snowflake who usually remained icy cool could not help but twitch her lips.

The almighty Musical Daoist Grandmaster Realm that she and all other cultivators of her Heaven Chord Sect worked all their life towards, was to their utter shock, just another leisurely activity for somebody else.

Was there still any logic left in this?

Did this man speak any reason at all?

“Since you do not wish to reveal your name, I will not push you either. Nonetheless, I’d like to invite you over to my place tonight, so we can practice some music and perhaps do some mental sparring.”

Jin Nian said with eyes full of passion.

Was it to practice music and mental spar?

Or did she mean a date?

All the male cultivators surrounding them looked at Chu Kuangren with jealousy. After all, she was the Sky Emperor Palace Dame. To receive an invitation from her was certainly one of the things that countless male cultivators dreamed of.

If things were to develop any further, it would be the greatest fortune of their lives. God knew how many people there wished that they were in Chu Kuangren’s shoes instead.

Just then, Lady Snowflake, who was standing not far away, walked up to the scene too. She said to Chu Kuangren, “Daoist Brother, the level of your musical Dao is undoubtedly high, and I truly admire your abilities. I, too, would like to invite you to my place for an overnight study tonight.”

Even someone as cold-hearted as Lady Snowflake could not resist her feelings when she saw Chu Kuangren’s otherworldly musical Dao mastery.

Not even her teacher had such a high level of musical Dao prowess.

If she could get on good terms with a great figure like him, maybe she could obtain a pointer or two. Either way, it would surely be extremely beneficial for her.

The moment Lady Snowflake announced her intentions like that, the jaw of every single male cultivator at the scene dropped, their faces filled with shock.

‘What the h*ck!’

‘Lady Snowflake, what happened to that coldness and dignity of yours?’

‘You had to stoop so low!’

Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan was all the more envious as he glared at Chu Kuangren. He had painstakingly tried to win Lady Snowflake over for so many days, yet she never batted her eyes at him. Now, she even had the audacity to invite a mere male stranger back to her place!

For a godd*mn overnight study no less!

“Finders keepers, it is I who invited this gentleman first.” Jing Nian swept a glance at Lady Snowflake and said with hostility in her tone.

“Hah, for certain things, it doesn’t matter who was first. Sometimes, fate is the thing that matters. Perhaps this Daoist Brother wishes to have a mental spar with me more than with you.”

“You just lost to me. What makes you think you have the right to compete with me?”

“I have been humbled, thus I now know where I must do better at. It’s precisely because of my defeat that I need to cherish this opportunity more, to learn from this Daoist Brother here and improve myself.”

Lady Snowflake and Jing Nian were two women whom many men could desire but never get. Yet, here they were, competing for a man!

Both ladies were sharp in their speech, not willing to let the other have an edge over them. Although there was no involvement of violence, everyone at the scene was able to sense the tense atmosphere which developed over this matter.

The crowd had now developed a sense of envy towards Chu Kuangren. They all wanted so badly to answer for him… ‘Stop this catfight, only kids would make a choice between two. Men would take them all! Let’s all get in love together! Oh, no, I mean, get into music!’

“I really appreciate the invitations from you both, but as a lowly person with a simple life, I still have some other things to attend to. I shall rest this case right here then, farewell.”

Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly, but his words meant, “Sorry, I don’t really know you that well, see you!”

When the people around them heard his words, they were all close to losing their minds.

He had rejected it!

The madman had rejected the invitations from two goddesses!

Oh god, such an incredibly rare chance — an opportunity that many could only dream of, and this crazy fella rejected it without any second thought!

Even Lady Snowflake and Jing Nian were surprised.

Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren did not care about the ladies’ feelings. After retrieving the Fire Spirit Crystal, he was prepared to leave the place with Lan Yu.

Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan who was standing beside could not press on any longer. He shouted, “Stop right where you are!!”

However, Chu Kuangren ignored him as he continued to stride forward. Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan’s expression turned glum, and he dashed forward to try and grab hold of him.

Before he could even reach Chu Kuangren, Lan Yu, who was at his side, immediately reacted. She lashed out a fist and unleashed a boundless Daoist Rhyme that turned into a ray of brilliance, surging at Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan. It instantly blasted him off his feet and sent him flying about a hundred meters back.

The crowd gasped as they saw the scene unfold. They did not expect that the woman, who was kept by Chu Kuangren’s side quietly, had such capability!

Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan’s face was full of shock too.

He knew clearly that although he was not amongst the most powerful individuals amongst the younger generation, his strength was still only second to those Young Emperors.

For a person like him to be blown off with just a single fist attack!

How terrifying were this girl’s powers?!

At the thought of this, his envy-fogged mind of his slowly cleared up. He would not dare to attack people in such haste again.

Meanwhile, Lady Snowflake and Jing Nian seemed deep in thought as they stared at Chu Kuangren and his companion’s receding silhouette.

These two people may have had spiritual veils covering their faces, but their voices sounded very youthful. Could they be one of the sky-prides who came here to participate in the championship?

The more they pondered about it, the more likely they thought it was. Hence, they decided to return to their place and send someone to investigate further.

At this moment, after Chu Kuangren had departed from the crowd, he handed the Fire Spirit Crystal in his hand to the Godly Phoenix Lil Red. The phoenix pecked onto the crystal surface, chipping off a tiny hole on it.

Just like drinking water, she continuously absorbed the Fire Spirit Crystal’s spiritual qi into his body, and the feathers on her body emitted a faint glow.

Chu Kuangren was worried that if she kept absorbing it like this, Lil Red would surely not be able to contain herself and morph back into her true form. Thus, he took away the Fire Spirit Crystal and deposited it into his Yin and Yang Ring. “I think that’s it for now. It’s all yours when we get back.”

He and Lan Yu toured the city for a good half of the day before they returned back to the accommodation venue that was specifically arranged for the many sage orthodoxies.

The instant they got back to the place, several glances landed right on them.

Chu Kuangren glanced back at that but did not give it any more heed. Instead, he immediately returned to the zone that was catered for the Black Heaven Sect.

Those few people quickly left too when they saw him leave.

Inside a room, Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan was astonished. “Are you sure that they’re from Black Heaven Sect?”

“Yes, one guy and one girl, and they brought along a red bird. I can’t be mistaken. They definitely stepped into the Black Heaven Sect’s area.”

“Since they’re from the Black Heaven Sect, good thing that things did not go too terribly earlier today.” Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Although the Overlord Sage Tribe was powerful and had a strong backing, they were still rather fearful of Black Heaven Sect’s Chu Kuangren.

“Speaking of which, since when did Black Heaven Sect have a Musical Daoist Grandmaster amongst their younger disciples?” Bachelor Sage Chang Yuan felt a little puzzled.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The scouts that Lady Snowflake and Jing Nian sent to spy on them had also returned.

“They really are sky-prides who have come here for the championship, but never did it cross my mind that they’re from Black Heaven Sect,” Jing Nian muttered under her breath.

Suddenly, it looked as if she had just recalled something. “Rumor has it that Chu Kuangren had tamed a Godly Phoenix before. That bird that I saw earlier today resembles the Godly Phoenix for almost seventy to eighty percent. Could that really be the Godly Phoenix itself?”

The more she thought of it, the more eerier she felt.

If that was really the Godly Phoenix, the mysterious identity of the Musical Daoist Grandmaster that she had met today would also be solved.

“I can’t believe that was him!” She felt rather fortunate, or rather relieved that she did not pull off any over-the-top stunts.

Otherwise, she was not sure if she could still be here, standing and talking.
