Chapter 3196 - Beauty With Pink Hair
"Little... shit?" What kind of term of endearment was that? Either way, it couldn’t be a bad thing for Suishen Yao to be in a good mood.
"Brother, howd you do it? Even if you broke through once, it couldn’t have been so drastic. Don’t tell me you actually broke through twice within two days?" Suishen Zhao was still reeling from the sheer shock and asked that question in public.
The crowd wondered as well.
"Breaking through twice in a row? Was it thanks to the omnisentient and imprisoned idols?"
"He already broke through once using the vitality idol!"
People began paying attention; they simply couldn’t believe it. Everyone in the Ascension Colosseum, including members of House Yumo, waited with bated breath. The results were clear even without Tianming having to answer them. The only way he could possibly have overwhelmed Yumo Yuanni, who had just broken through himself, was that hed made a double breakthrough to supersede his opponent’s own recent breakthrough!
"Even the minor pathkeepers of the Three Exalted Houses would only be able to break through once using all six divine idols, and that would easily be considered signs of a peak genius."
"Did an outer mundi genius really break through three times in a row using only four divine idols?"
It was far too hyperbolic to be true. Accepting a fact like that required some elite cultivators to completely overhaul their worldviews. What had been thought impossible had been shown to be possible! From thirty breaths, to fifteen breaths, then to three breakthroughs in a row, all of it broke historical precedentsand not by slim margins, either! And it came from someone who was allegedly the lowest of the low: a tainted beastmaster.
Suishen Zhao’s timely rhetorical assist caused an uproar across the Ascension Colosseum. People were frantically discussing the birth of a monstrous genius that wasnt a member of the Three Exalted Houses. Many specters looked down in serious contemplation.
"If its all real, it’s far too ridiculous."
"Talent like that.... It’s difficult to believe that it came from the Million Mundi. How could it? Have we not found his true origins yet?"
"Only the valley lord who controls the Myriadpath Celestial Formation can trace him through the stareyes he frequents. However, why would someone of the valley lord’s caliber do something so menial as to look up someone who’s less than a hundred years old?"
"Come to think of it, the valley lord hasn’t appeared for years."
"If the valley lord was someone from House Yumo, there might be some interest in visiting Li Tianming’s mundus. However, someone from House Qitian holds that office for now."
"Everyone, it isnt as outrageous as you think. We can clearly see his talent, but it will require more time to see if all of it converts into true combat potential!"
Either way, breaking through three times in a row was Tianming’s new crowning achievement. Not a single person would dare to call him someone that peaked early any longer.
"No matter what, its amazing indeed. To think that a brat this young would be able to make all the specters in Myriadpath Valley learn to shut up."
"That’s right!"
Millions of disciples and saints looked at the white-haired youth, their hearts unable to stop pounding. It marked the true moment when Tianming turned things around.
"To be honest, I thought he was only lucky to have been noticed by Suishen Yao and made a minion at first. But now it seems like Tianming and Suishen Yao seem to match in a peculiar way, despite him being much younger."
"Don’t go around carelessly saying things like that. If someone from House Suishen hears that, youll face consequences for it. Eminent Ranxing already announced that the two major pathkeepers of House Suishen shall take Suishen Yao’s hand in marriage depending on who performs better."
"Suishen Yue and Suishen Yuan? They are amazing in their own right, but they haven’t become eminents yet."
"It’s said that the only thing that Suishen Yue lacks for that is Suishen Blood, and a particular high-grade one at that."
"Tsk tsk.... How envious. He’ll be able to increase his simulacra."
"Even though the Little Demon King is quite a headache for everyone, she’s cute in her own way. No doubt, she’s one of the most beautiful people in all of the astralscape."
Gossip and rumors spread nonstop and the audience still hadnt left even though the battle had long been concluded. What none of them knew was that, somewhere amidst the misty clouds away from the Fortuna Arena, some elite eminents of House Suishen had watched the battle. Eminent Ranxing, Suishen Cang, Suishen Ling and five other eminents were all people with high status in the house, with the exception of Fen Nu.
"He broke through three times using four divine idols!" said a girl who shattered the silence. She was a top beauty and stood beside Eminent Ranxing. She had pink hair and eyes like Suishen Yao and her skin was fair with a slight tint of healthy red.
But her aura was completely different. Suishen Yao gave off a manic pixie vibe, whereas this beauty was elegant, had long, slender legs that radiated grace and elegance and deep pink eyes filled with charm. She seemed like a pink peach at the peak of its ripeness.
Her figure wasnt inferior to Lan Yun’s in the least. In fact, she seemed much more alluring. Combined with the pretty and cute features of Suishen Yao, she was an even more perfect specimen of beauty than the cold Lan Yun. The confident air of nobility that stemmed from her bloodline and upbringing wasn’t something that could be learned or feigned.
The beauty’s eyes were bright and glued on Tianming. Nobody uttered a sound after hearing what she said, making her rather displeased. She turned to Eminent Ranxing and said in a hushed voice, "Big Brother, have you gone blind? All those achievements, and before he reached a hundred years old.... Nobody in the history of our house has achieved anything nearly equivalent to this."
Eminent Ranxing glared at her and grit his teeth. "I know that without you having to remind me of it."
"Then act fast! Whatre you waiting for? Nows our chance to take him into House Suishen. We don’t have to consider who we’ll have him marry yet. All we have to do is to give him some kind of status and proclaim our stance toward him. He doesn’t have anyone to rely on now, so hell be thankful," said the beauty.
Eminent Ranxing’s starfire-filled eyes merely stayed on Tianming while he kept quiet. Behind them, Suishen Yuan’s father, Suishen Cang, said, "Suishen Jiguang, hear me out. After what happened with the previous valley lord, taking in an outsiders a sensitive topic for the Three Exalted Houses. This childs talented, theres no doubt about that, but theres questions to be asked concerning his talent. We should keep observing him. It won’t be too late to revisit this once he’s five hundred years old."
"The previous valley lord?" The beauty couldn’t help but wryly laugh. "Why aren’t you blowing this out of proportion? All we have here is a child that needs protection. If we don’t make our stance clear, how will he even survive until he turns five hundred?"
