Banshee Family Training Record

Clearly, he had seen through everything. He didn't turn around, as if he were just talking to himself, but behind him, Sima Zongzheng's face was burning red.

He gritted his teeth secretly, but comforted himself, telling himself not to panic. As long as Lixin launched an attack and defeated Yun Chuan with a powerful and fierce strike, everything would be alright!

On the stage, Sima Lixin's expression was somewhat unnatural. He knew that these words could fool some laymen who couldn't understand the situation, but they would definitely not fool his opponent, the one he had fought before.

However, he didn't care anymore. As long as he could defeat him with one blow, everything would be fine!

With this thought in mind, he immediately leaped forward, his last ounce of spiritual energy surging within him, the two steel whips in his hands gleaming with blinding light: "Take this—"

He roared and covered a distance of a thousand meters in less than half a second, his steel whip lashing down at Yun Chu'an—

Yun Chu'an was prepared, but at this moment he neither dodged nor evaded, standing still and suddenly casting a spell—

He abruptly transformed into a blue-green stone ape, standing still and bracing himself for the blows. His body didn't grow larger, because at the same time he abruptly crushed several long-unused Vajra Talismans. In an instant, the hard stone ape's body combined with the indestructible effect of the Vajra Talismans, making the power far greater than before!

The next instant, the steel whip struck him on the head—

clang--

The two collided with a piercing sound. Yun Chu'an, who had transformed into a blue stone ape, suddenly dropped half a meter. The terrifying force caused the floor of the arena to suddenly crack on a large scale, like a giant spider web. As a result, a minister on the cloud turned pale. His embezzlement of repair funds was about to be exposed!

Sima Lixin felt a tremendous recoil force, and his right hand, which was holding the steel whip, almost lost sensation for a moment. In an instant, his face contorted with rage, and he retreated repeatedly.

Yun Chu'an reverted to his original form, standing amidst a pile of rubble, feeling his head buzzing. He hadn't been idle these past few days, constantly pondering how to combine new spells with old methods, so that he could use these techniques even at a higher level.

Previously, the enemies he encountered were too weak to test anything. Today, at least he met a suitable opponent, so he suddenly decided to give it a try. Mei, what's wrong? Mei, what's wrong? Mei, what's wrong? You're empty, Lin is here, what's wrong...

only……

He touched his head; his brain was still throbbing, and he felt his body trembling slightly, almost unable to stand steadily. Looking at Sima Lixin opposite him, who had already recovered, he sighed inwardly.

Okay, it's still immature. At least it can't perfectly defend against a full-force attack from a late-stage Golden Core enemy...

Alright, alright, let's do some more research and optimization later.

On the other side, Sima Lixin felt his face burning. He was a prodigy, having experienced few setbacks, and had just made a boastful statement. Yet, his all-out attack not only failed to win, but he was also countered by his opponent!

He felt humiliated, believing this was the other party's trump card. If he knew what Yun Chu'an was thinking—that this was merely the other party using him as a guinea pig to test his new moves—he would probably be even more furious, feeling deeply insulted.

Even so, he was furious. Sima Lixin gasped for breath, seeing that Yun Chuan seemed unsteady on his feet as well. He gritted his teeth, desperately telling himself that as long as he could win, everything could still be explained, and everything could still be salvaged!

And we must win completely!

"I originally thought that no one could force me to use this move..."

Finally, trying to salvage the situation, he gritted his teeth and activated the golden light emanating from his armor: "But I cannot give up my lifelong love to someone else. This move, which I originally intended to save for a powerful figure from an enemy country, will now be used on you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious patterns on his golden armor shone with a dazzling light, swirling and forming a terrifying, fifty-meter-tall phantom.

The illusory figure emanated an astonishing aura; the moment it took shape, many spectators trembled in shock. Those with less experience, bewildered, felt only fear and whispered amongst themselves, while those with more experience erupted in an uproar:

"What is that? It's terrifying!"

"It's a Suanni! The armor even has the shape-shifting patterns of the Suanni mythical beast? The Sima family is truly wealthy and powerful. I didn't expect that besides his weapon, his armor is also extraordinary."

"Is this the confidence of a powerful family? No, this is simply using magic weapons to bully rogue cultivators!"

"As expected of the Sima family's chosen one, even such a priceless treasure has recognized him as its master. That Yun Chu'an is going to be in trouble..."

……

Many viewers were discussing the incident, some were amazed, but many others with ulterior motives continued to mock and ridicule Yun Chu'an after seeing his performance, while praising Sima Lixin.

Only Sima Lixin, who was in the arena, knew how much he was suffering. He couldn't actually control the full power of this armor, and his spiritual energy was being consumed at lightning speed.

But there was no other way. His opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations. Only by revealing this trump card could he possibly win instantly!

"watch out!"

He roared and leaped forward. The enormous phantom of the Suanni divine beast, formed by his spiritual energy, also pounced forward, baring its fangs and claws. The immense power made the officials maintaining the protective barrier secretly groan, fearing that the aftershock of this attack could shatter the barrier!

Everyone in the arena held their breath, but Yun Chu'an, standing in the center, remained completely calm. That illusory Suanni seemed powerful and terrifying, but it possessed something far more formidable!

"Huanghuang Weiling——"

He recited a spell.

A blinding golden lightning suddenly appeared, and the thunder that resounded through the sky even startled the high-ranking officials of the Jin Kingdom above the clouds. Terrifying lightning surged from Yun Chu'an's body, and his body began to grow larger, instantly forming a lightning giant a hundred meters tall!

The giant was clad in armor and resembled a terracotta warrior formed by divine lightning. He held a Guan Dao identical to the one in Yun Chu'an's hand, and his aura completely overwhelmed the Suanni!

The officials maintaining the protective barrier all paled in shock. They realized that the full force of this giant thunder terracotta warrior's attack would easily shatter the barrier.

Despair filled their hearts. Above the clouds, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Duke of Jin. He suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a powerful spiritual force was injected into the protective barrier, making it even more solid.

Almost simultaneously, the thunderous giant swung its halberd down, slashing at the Suanni. Sima Lixin's eyes widened in fury, and he lashed out with all his might with his double whips, but unfortunately, his attack was so fragile before the thunderous giant. The Suanni's phantom was completely shattered and destroyed by the thunderous halberd, turning into dust like tree branches crushed by a road roller.

The thunder giant summoned by Yun Chuan subsided, and he hovered in mid-air, panting heavily, clearly having also exhausted himself.

However, Sima Lixin fell like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground a kilometer away, where he remained motionless for a moment.

At this moment, the winner and loser are already clear.

Above the clouds, Sheng Linglong watched all this with a smile on her lips and eyes that were almost overflowing with tears.

She had long known of Yun Chuan's strength; he was already extraordinary when he fought against the Yellow Python Ancestor. Now that he had returned from the Qingyun Sect and possessed new divine weapons, dealing with Sima Lixin would naturally be no problem.

But at this moment, seeing that he had really won, her heart still couldn't help but pound wildly. Knowing that she was about to marry him, she looked at Yun Chu'an's figure with an unprecedented gentleness in her eyes.

At that very moment, Yun Chuan's system suddenly emitted a notification sound: [Ding, Sheng Linglong's trust level has increased to 'Admiration']...

Chapter 578 The Birth of the Champion

The audience was completely silent, hardly believing their eyes. Not only them, but even the centuries-old, knowledgeable Golden Core elders on the clouds were now dumbfounded.

Almost everyone believed from the beginning that Yun Chu'an was doomed to lose. They thought the late-game dominance over the early-game would be as easy as a father beating his son. But this... this scene before their eyes...

This was beyond their comprehension, leaving them stunned and trembling. Only the Duke of Jin remained calm and composed, as if he had foreseen this outcome from the beginning, and that everything was under his control.

He glanced to the side and saw his daughter's face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally break into a bright smile, uncontrollably and unconsciously.

Then, he said slowly and deliberately, "It seems that Yun Chu'an has won, um..." Mei isn't here, Lin isn't available, Lin isn't here...

He personally announced, "I declare Yun Chu'an the winner of this match. Hmm, is there anyone else who wants to challenge Yun Chu'an for the championship?"

The audience was completely silent. No one had yet recovered from the shock, and no one responded. Even Sima Lixin had lost; who would dare go on stage now?

No one dared to step forward, and for a moment, no one answered. The Duke of Jin coughed lightly and said, "Since no one else is going to come up, then I announce..."

Behind him, Sima Zongzheng's face turned deathly pale. What could he possibly say now? Words spoken are words spoken; Yun Chu'an had indeed won, and his grandson had lost. What more could he possibly say?

He looked at the Duke of Jin, his initial confidence replaced by fear. He suddenly realized that the Duke might have long been aware of his ambition, and that he still held many cards in his hand…

There are many cards like Yun Chu'an's that could easily slap him in the face.

Sima Zongzheng put away his ulterior motives, and his expression became compliant again.

Just as the Duke of Jin was about to announce that Yun Chu'an was the champion, he suddenly swallowed his words back.

He turned to his daughter, Sheng Linglong, and said, "Linglong, since you have already promised to marry the champion of the martial arts tournament, then you can announce it."

Sheng Linglong was staring at Yun Chuan below, a silly smile playing on her lips, one she herself didn't even realize. Hearing her father's words, she snapped out of her daze, her face flushing slightly: "Ah? Me? Ah... alright, alright."

She felt a little embarrassed in front of her own father. But she quickly took a deep breath, composed herself, and solemnly declared: "A genius of unparalleled talent, sweeping across the entire field. This princess never expected that there would be such a person, who, at the tender age of twenty, already possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core, and even went against the tide to defeat powerful enemies. His talent and genius can be described as unprecedented."

As she recounted this, the silent audience gradually came to life. Many spectators belatedly realized that their country had welcomed a peerless genius, which might bring about the revival of the State of Jin.

At this thought, excitement began to spread through the audience, and Sheng Linglong's announcement continued.

"Therefore, today, here, I, the princess, hereby announce that the overall champion of the martial arts tournament is..." Sheng Linglong continued, "Yun! Chu! An—!"

Finally, unable to contain her overwhelming joy, she cried out his name. This ignited the emotions of the audience, and countless people joined the princess in shouting his name. Flowers burst forth in the arena, adorning the entire stage with dazzling splendor.

In a corner of the arena, Sima Lixin gradually opened his eyes, his body tingling from the lightning.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the princess he had been longing for descend from the clouds, holding the four-colored lotus that was originally meant for him as a prize for winning the championship, and personally handing it to Yun Chu'an.

Then, they held each other's hands tightly.

For a moment, the pain of losing his beloved even overwhelmed the shame of defeat, and this man, who had just been so full of vigor, felt that he would rather have fainted.

A surge of intense anger welled up within him. Gazing at the Guan Dao in Yun Chu'an's hand, he wanted to shout, "You're just getting the better weapon! If we were both using weapons of equal quality, the outcome would be completely different!"

But upon closer reflection, he realized that his advantage in cultivation level was probably greater, and in the previous battles, he had the upper hand in terms of weaponry.

After a moment of intense thought, the man finally closed his eyes in pain and despair.

Thus, the competition for the overall championship came to a close. After receiving his prize, Yun Chu'an returned to his residence, the small courtyard that Sheng Linglong had arranged for him.

He fiddled with the newly acquired treasure in his hand, the strange four-colored lotus, and after studying it for a while, he still couldn't figure out how to use it.

But he wasn't in a hurry and studied it slowly. Time passed by, and darkness gradually fell. As the night deepened, there was a sudden knock on his door: "Knock, knock, knock—"

Even without opening the door, Yun Chu'an could guess who was coming. He placed the four-colored lotus on the table beside him, then got up and opened the door.

As expected, Sheng Linglong stood at his door, dressed in a delicate, form-fitting, and exquisitely crafted silk robe. The princess's pretty face was still covered with a layer of frost, as serious as when she was presenting awards during the day, and even now in private, she was still angry with him, as if she had come to settle scores with him.

He then bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Your Highness!"

Sheng Linglong walked into the room, closed the door, sat on his bed, turned around and looked back at him: "Yun Chu'an! What exactly are you thinking!"

She shouted angrily, her cheeks puffed out, as if she was still mad at him. Yun Chu'an bowed and said, "Your subject does not understand; please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Sheng Linglong said, "Last time, I asked you to marry me, but you refused. However, in today's final, I said I would marry the champion, and you insisted on participating, and you actually won the championship."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, finally managing to suppress her laughter: "So tell me, what should we do now?"

Yun Chu'an muttered something to himself, summoned the system, and looked at Sheng Linglong's trust level, which clearly showed "Admiration," and found it amusing.

He feigned deference and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's not that I'm unwilling to marry you, but I truly don't want to divorce my wife who has shared so much hardship with me."

Sheng Linglong stared at him: "So, you mean you want me, the princess, to be your concubine?"

Yun Chu'an said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Then, Your Highness..."

He suppressed a laugh and whispered, "Then why doesn't Your Highness just say tomorrow that you really can't find a suitable candidate for me, so that promise doesn't count?"

Sheng Linglong glared at him fiercely, genuinely angry at his words: "You want me, the princess, to break my promise? Impossible! That would only bring shame upon the royal family!"

Chapter 579 The Princess's First Experience (A Long Chapter of 5,000 Words)

Yun Chu'an spread his hands: "This won't work, that won't work, then Your Highness, can you give me some ideas?"

Sheng Linglong turned her face away and said, "I don't care. This isn't my responsibility. You insisted on participating and winning the championship."

"This is trouble you caused, and you're the one who needs to come up with a win-win solution. If you can't come up with a satisfactory solution tonight, this princess isn't leaving!"

She threatened him like that at the end. He had just said that she could break off the engagement, and she suddenly panicked, unsure if he really didn't like her.

After saying that, she kicked off her shoes, revealing her small feet encased in white socks. She turned around, put her feet on his bed, hugged her knees, and acted like a spoiled child, insisting on staying there.

Although she had practically singled him out and stared intently at him, urging him to go on stage, the princess had no intention of arguing with him about the reasons behind it all.

Yun Chu'an shrugged, thinking to himself, "Why don't I just usurp your father's throne? That way you won't be a princess, and being a concubine won't be a problem."

After thinking it over, he decided not to make the joke. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he stepped forward, suddenly opened his arms, and gently hugged her: "Linglong, I promise you, no matter what, I will marry you."

His way of addressing her suddenly changed; his tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

Sheng Linglong's body suddenly went limp, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into her stomach. With his promise, no matter how things were resolved in the end, she felt incredibly at ease.

At this point, she was certain that Yun Chu'an harbored the same feelings as she did.

This is enough.

"Well..." Her voice softened, sounding more like a coquettish plea, "Anyway, you haven't figured it out yet, so you can't kick me out..."

Yun Chu'an chuckled inwardly and said, "Your Highness, even if you asked me to think of something right now, I really couldn't come up with anything."

As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and he changed the subject, saying, "It's getting late, Your Highness, I should go to sleep."

What need is there for a Golden Core cultivator to sleep? His statement is utterly absurd. But Yun Chu'an remained calm, immediately began to take off his clothes, and then lay down next to her on the bed, saying, "Your Highness, if you want to sit, please sit over there. Make way for me, I need to sleep."

Sheng Linglong's face gradually turned red. She felt at ease, and her mind began to clear up.

She gradually recalled her experience of bathing together in the hot spring. At that time, she had touched Yun Chuan's naked body and even touched his thick, enormous penis. He even accidentally ejaculated on her face and into her mouth.

It was an extremely embarrassing experience, so much so that she would blush every time she thought about it, and occasionally she would use it as a way to comfort herself late at night.

And today, will I be able to see it again?

Although... although I didn't plan to make love with him today, well, we're going to get married anyway, so being a little more intimate wouldn't hurt...

Her mind raced with thoughts, but she quickly made up her mind. Seeing Yun Chu'an taking off her clothes, she whispered, "This princess is going to sleep too. Don't even think about escaping. This princess will keep an eye on you."

Yun Chu'an turned to look at her, her eyes subtle: "Really? I only have one quilt here, I'm afraid there's no way Your Highness can sleep in it too."

What need does a Golden Core cultivator have for bedding to rest? His excuse is utterly absurd. Sheng Linglong's cheeks gradually flushed red. She had her own thoughts and stubbornly said, "So what? Don't try to find these reasons to drive me away."
