On the stage, after Su Chen leapt forward, he suddenly kicked the ground with both legs, launching another "Gale" as he shot forward like an arrow. His opponent, facing the suddenly accelerating Su Chen, had a slight change of expression. The Flame Blade in his hand surged several inches once more as he swung it out a step ahead! But just as he thought he could cut through his opponent’s Wind Shadow Blade, the darting Su Chen tapped the ground with his toes again, drifting into the air like a feather. After a graceful somersault, the Wind Shadow Blade mysteriously disappeared, and instead, his palms suddenly shot out, unleashing two whirlwinds of visible blue wind! A gasp erupted from the audience below! The whirlwinds swept up the youth, flipping him to the ground, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He raised his hand weakly and said, "I surrender..." Only then did Su Chen reveal a faint smile as he silently walked off the stage. "Did that kid just unleash an external skill?" Someone exclaimed in shock. "Such deep understanding of the Cultivation Technique, at such a young age, tsk tsk tsk..." "Indeed, it seems a dark horse is emerging in this session of the tournament. But which faction does he belong to?" Hearing the discussions among the crowd, Dolmont beamed with joy and said to the surprised Nanding Xiongqi, "Did you see that? This is what you call hiding your capabilities. External skill release is not something an ordinary person can achieve. Hehe, truly worthy of being a talent I’ve placed my bet on, a thirteen-year-old Four-star Beast Master!" However, this was merely a sign discernible to those unfamiliar with the Beast Cultivation Realm. Someone as powerful as Tianhui wouldn’t fail to see that Su Chen had already reached the level of a One-Star Beast Venerable. Even he was somewhat amazed that this young man could endure such inhuman torment. His determination was truly admirable. I wonder how far he can go on his will and determination? The master from the always indifferent Divine Concealment Hall became uncharacteristically expectant at this moment... Below the stage, Phoenix carefully wiped the sweat off Su Chen’s brow, her smile as radiant as a flower, her voice gentle, "Congratulations on your triumphant start." Su Chen smiled lightly, teasing, "Why aren’t you saying congratulations to yourself? What’s mine is yours, isn’t it?" Phoenix’s cheeks flushed, but her heart was sweet, as she retorted playfully, "You rascal, can’t stay serious for two sentences before starting with your mischief. Who taught you these terrible ideas?" Su Chen chuckled, scratched the back of his head, and said, "That’s something you have to ask my dad about. I’ve been taught by him since I was a kid." Phoenix came to a sudden realization, "Oh... no wonder~ like father, like son..." But just then, from the fifth arena separated by the fourth arena, came a heart-wrenching wail! Almost simultaneously, all gazes shot towards that direction! Across the vast arena, a cold and indifferent woman clad in a black long dress stood, her eyes hollow, staring at the boy lying in a pool of blood opposite her, like a millennia-old ice. In her slender jade hand, she held a crystal-blue short sword, with strands of cold air still lingering on it. In front of her, the ground was covered with several hard and irregular ice spikes, the ice shards stained with bright red blood. After letting out a scream, the boy made no further movements, his neck tilted, devoid of all signs of life. The arena fell into silence. Everyone was dumbfounded, staring speechlessly at the ruthless girl in the black dress. Someone exclaimed in shock! "That sword is so... so powerful, could it be a Spiritual Treasure level?" Su Chen’s expression suddenly turned grim as he immediately recognized this woman as the ruthless girl from the day they encountered in the Forest of Death, the one who sought to end his life! Not only Su Chen, but even Jin Zhenhuan, who had just stepped off the arena, was also closely watching the girl in the black dress, his face solemn. Seeing his demeanor, Ginny asked curiously, "Imperial Brother, do you know that person?" "The most mysterious of the four great families, the Habsburg Clan." Jin Zhenhuan said in a low voice. "She’s from the Habsburg Clan?" Ginny was taken aback. She knew very well that the Habsburg Clan is an ancient family with many prodigies in the Beast Cultivation Realm. It is said that since the founding of the Golden Wind Empire, the Habsburg Clan has appeared and ranked first among the four great families. Yet, as time passes, while the stars shift, the other three families either disappear into the river of history or submit under more powerful families, but the Habsburgs have remained standing mysteriously at the top of the four family lists, never falling, not even exceeded by any other family. Although in the military, political, and commercial sectors, the Habsburgs did not achieve as illustrious achievements as the other three families, strangely, the empire always revered this ancient and mysterious family like a deity. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 But no matter how ancient or mysterious a family is, being the foremost of the four families, how can it not be the focus of external attention? The most famous thing is that the Clan Leader of the Habsburgs, Qiao Buyi, Habsburg, is one of the three great Master Artisans in the Profound Cyan Continent! Under his leadership, the number of Spiritual Artifacts and Spiritual Treasures produced surpasses even the top treasures that have appeared in the Nanding Auction House. As the saying goes, those who are near the waterside are the first to receive the moon; every genius youth of the Habsburg Clan receives Qiao Buyi’s award, obtaining a weapon at the level of a Spiritual Treasure. Coupled with extraordinary beast cultivation prowess and formidable spiritual treasures, it makes it extremely rare for someone to defeat a member of the Habsburg Clan in the tournament. Moreover, perhaps to satisfy people’s curiosity, every few years, the Habsburg Clan produces a prodigy in beast cultivation unmatched for a century, genuinely recognized by everyone. According to conservative statistics, over more than a dozen sessions of the tournament, the Habsburg family secured over five championships. What was even more unacceptable was that these geniuses who won the grand crown in the tournament eventually turned down the golden opportunity to hold high positions in the empire’s ranks!
