[v]Laugh at me for being a loser? You'll all kneel down after you awaken your talent!

Bai Huang sat high on the platform, looking down at everyone.

At that moment, she seemed to truly understand what it meant to be "lonely at the top."

No wonder Madam Bai, having been in such a position for so long, has lost even the most basic conscience.

"Damn it!" The head of the Hua family hurriedly helped Hua Cheng up, his eyes filled with worry.

Hua Cheng was defeated, staring intently at Bai Huang.

Bai Huang met his gaze without backing down.

“Father…” Hua Cheng gritted his teeth, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" The head of the Hua family was extremely anxious, his brows furrowed.

"I'm fine, Father. I just remembered your earlier question."

His eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement, and a slight smile played on his lips as he glanced at Bai Huang.

He then pointed to the high platform, "Didn't you ask me if I had someone I liked? Now, I already have someone I love!"

"I must marry that girl named Bai Huang!"

Before Bai Huang could even utter a curse, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the entire area.

Pu Pu hurriedly called out, and a layer of emerald green light immediately enveloped her.

This saved her from kneeling under that oppressive force.

"Pfft!" Hua Cheng below was caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clearly, this oppressive aura was directed at Hua Cheng.

"Who goes there?" The head of the Hua family was furious, feeling that the pressure from that person had reached the Xuan King realm, and was no match for him.

A figure slowly rose, his purple-gold robe trailing on the ground, with gold threads swirling like dragons at the hem.

"Heh, I didn't expect that even a defeated person would dare to be so arrogant." Luo Jing's cold gaze fell on Hua Cheng. The Xuan King's aura was fully unleashed, suppressing Hua Cheng so much that he couldn't even speak and could only bend over and cover his chest.

"He can't even beat a young girl, yet he dares to dream of proposing marriage?"

Luo Jing approached Hua Cheng step by step, "Doesn't he even consider whether he's qualified?"

The head of the Hua family was so angry that his face turned red.

"Lord Luo, you've gone too far! How can my son be unworthy of a Gu family adopted daughter?"

In Tianfeng, Luo Jing holds a rather special position.

Everyone thought he was just a prodigy with extraordinary talent who had reached the Xuan King realm at a young age.

Little did they know, Luo Jing's true strength was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

The four major families knew very little about this matter, but one thing they all knew was that the usually arrogant Phoenix Emperor had completely concealed her sharpness in front of Luo Jing, and sometimes even appeared to be flattering and ingratiating.

At this moment, although the head of the Hua family wished he could capture Luo Jing and teach him a lesson, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, venting his dissatisfaction with words.

"You say I'm going too far?" Luo Jing sneered. "Think about it carefully. Your son cultivated for many years before reaching the Xuan Master realm, but what about Bai Huang?"

“An orphan girl found from outside, with no one to guide her cultivation, awakened her profound power just a few days ago after visiting the Gu family.”

"A gifted one-star Xuan cultivator, and a rare mutated ice-type at that. Where does your son get the audacity to ask to marry her?"

Luo Jing's tone was full of sarcasm, "Does he think he can solve everything in this world with just a word?"

Gu Nianci couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Those around him also showed expressions of agreement.

It must be admitted that Bai Huang's talent is indeed amazing.

Even if she were still an orphan with no one to rely on, let alone now that she is the adopted daughter of the Gu family, many powerful forces would probably be vying to recruit her and nurture her.

Phoenix chuckled and nodded, "Luo Jing is right. Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly. If the young man from the Hua family truly loves Bai Huang, he should focus on his cultivation and win her heart through his own abilities, earning the respect of others!"

He secretly regretted that such a good prospect had been snatched up by the Gu family.

Their ancestors must have been incredibly lucky!

Bai Huang watched this farce unfold before her and couldn't help but feel exhausted.

This job is really not easy.

"Bai Bai, let's go down!" Pu Pu affectionately nuzzled her cheek.

The nickname "Bai Bai" made Bai Huang frown slightly.

However, she didn't say much, because if it weren't for Pu Pu's help today, she would probably be in a sorry state right now.

"Your Majesty, I have emerged victorious in this contest, haven't I?"

Bai Huang casually tossed the flag to Feng Huang, her eyes darting around, and then said, "Speaking of which, besides being able to study with Luo Jing for three days, is there no other reward?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Feng Huang's eyes, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart regarding her and Feng Yu's relationship.

"What do you want?" she asked gently, encouragingly. "You're the star today, so please speak freely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Huang's gaze swept over everyone, lingering on Madam Bai's face for a moment.

Seeing her face gradually turn deathly pale, Bai Huang chuckled inwardly.

Does this woman really think I'm going to expose her identity in public?

How ridiculous! Hasn't she realized that she is no longer the pitiful orphan who needed to rely on the Bai family to survive?

"Your Majesty, if it's possible, could you please destroy this high platform?"

Bai Huang's words were firm and resounding.

Phoenix was taken aback by her words, clearly not expecting her to make such a request.

"Why?" He really couldn't understand the reason.

"I just took a look at the view from up there and found it truly awful," Bai Huang said without batting an eye. "I just couldn't stand it, so I wanted to destroy it."

It is precisely because of such heights that people strive to climb them, sparing no effort to reach the top.

This might lead to people like Madam Bai, who, in order to climb the social ladder, would not hesitate to trample on their own flesh and blood relatives!

"Just for this?" Phoenix's face darkened. "White Phoenix, you'd better think this through!"

Everyone secretly cursed her for being stupid, but they were also stunned by her willful and reckless nature.

How could there be such a person in the world?

Seeing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity being used only to destroy an inconspicuous stone pillar?

"Since you've made up your mind, then so be it." Phoenix sighed softly, tacitly granting the request.

Just as she was about to make her move, Luo Jing's voice suddenly rang out.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let me do it?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix's face immediately lit up with a fawning smile. "Then I'll trouble Prince Luo."

Although Bai Huang didn't understand Luo Jing's intentions, she didn't care who came as long as the goal could be achieved.

Luo Jing withdrew the oppressive aura of the Xuan King. With a wave of his hand, jet-black flames danced at his fingertips, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

This was the first time Bai Huang had seen his fire-type profound energy; she hadn't expected it to be mutated as well.

The black flames condensed into a giant eagle, which then charged towards the high platform.

With a loud "boom".

The platform shattered into pieces in an instant.

Everyone instinctively covered their heads, fearing they would be hit by falling rocks.

But they soon discovered that the shattered stones were engulfed in black flames as soon as they appeared, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Black flames scattered like dazzling fireworks, and ashes rained down from the sky.

Like a black snow.

Bai Huang stood in the center of the crowd, her gaze piercing through the layers of figures.

As everyone was captivated by the spectacular scene in the sky, her gaze was fixed on Lady White.

Madam Bai naturally noticed her as well.

The girl's resolute brows and eyes gleamed with an eerie light under the reflection of the black flames, as if they were an obsession crawling out from the depths of the underworld.

Bai Huang spoke, saying something silently.

Although she couldn't hear the words, Madam Bai understood lip reading, and her heart began to pound.

The girl was saying:

"You're next!"

The collapse of the high platform was by no means a spur-of-the-moment decision.

In reality, it was a silent declaration of war!

The blade of revenge is already pointed at you.

Are you ready?
