Chapter 4715: Challenge
Shen Juntian put virtually everyone else in the same generation to shame. All of his statuses commanded attention and respect.
Many girls screamed after seeing him. Though the majority thought that he was no match for Li Qiye, this didnât diminish his popularity.
He seemed to be the heavenâs favorite and had unique advantages unavailable to others. Their lifelong achievements were only comparable to his starting point - an unfair disparity.
A hush fell over the scene. Both were the apex existences of the young generation, standing at the top of the dao path. A battle between them would be epic indeed.
âYou want the immortal gemstone as well?â Li Qiye smiled and asked.
Shen Juntian smiled before answering, causing men to admire him while women became enamored with him with hearts in their eyes.
âThe immortal gemstone is one and only but it is yours now and I have no intention of taking it.â His voice was pleasant and charming - a perfect match for his immaculate appearance.
âInteresting.â The older experts said. They came running after seeing the immortal beam since no one could resist the temptation.
If Shen Juntian was telling the truth, then he had far more self-control than they did.
âHe has never put his fatherâs name to shame.â An ancestor said.
âHeâs wonderful both inside and out, a real man.â One girl found her love for him rising.
âThen why are you here?â Li Qiye asked.
Juntian sincerely responded: âDao Brother, your dao has reached an incredible height, far ahead of all the competitors including myself. You are the most likely to become the next dao lord.â
His humility earned him more points with the crowd. To have such self-awareness and humility was rare for someone of his background and success.
âAnd?â Li Qiye smiled.
âDespite being outmatched, I wish to fight you and am ready to die for it.â Juntian said earnestly and stirred the crowd.
âDonât!â One girl shouted, wanting to stop him.
The word âdieâ made them feel something ominous. None wanted to see him fall in battle but were powerless to stop it.
âThis is the definition of being suicidal.â Li Qiye said.
âThe dao path is full of perils, especially when one wants to become the dao lord. You are the number one rival right now and I canât yield without fighting. If I miss the chance today, I may not be able to fight you again since you might have taken the next step. I would regret this for the rest of my life.â Juntian responded.
âGood, not giving up in the face of danger, a dao lordâs son indeed.â Li Qiye clapped and seemed amused.
âYouâre too kind.â Juntian said.
The older crowd members thought that this was an impressive mentality while the girls wanted to fight in his place. They believed that he was the most perfect man in the world; some even fell to tears.
âPlease give me pointers, let my outcome be up to fate.â Juntian said.
âAs you wish then.â Li Qiye smiled: âCome, show me what you can do.â
âI am only a beginning with a bit of comprehension in the dao. Allow me to show you my dao.â Juntian said.
âSo be it. Start.â Li Qiye smiled.
Shen Juntian laughed after getting what he came for. Meanwhile, the crowd watched with bated breath.
âDoes he have a chance to overcome Li Qiye?â Someone whispered.
âHis chance of winning is minuscule even if heâs the strongest among the five.â One ancestor responded. The big shots in the crowd felt the same way.
âJudging by what we saw in his fight with Tian Feng, he won without using all of his strength. Juntian canât be much stronger, even if heâs one level above Tian Feng, heâll still lose.â Another ancestor said.
The battle with Tian Feng shocked all spectators - defeating the physical innate gift with his bare hands. This should have been impossible.
âWho knows, his dao lord bloodline is thick and blesses him.â A golden daughter said.
âHis regality can be considered an innate gift.â A lord replied: âItâs akin to having a dao lord possess his body. It should be terrifying to see.â
âThereâs still a difference between empowerment and a dao lord being here in person. I wonder how close heâll get to his fatherâs true power.â A big shot said: âIf itâs fifty to sixty percent, thatâs enough to beat anyone including Li Qiye. Twenty to thirty percent? I donât think so.â
It seemed that Juntian had more fans in the crowd hoping for his victory than Li Qiye.
