Chapter 480: Sir, May I Have the Honor of Meeting You Later?
As the dragon and phoenix manifested in the grand hall, everyone present was left in utter shock.
What kind of astonishing scene was this?!
A soul formed dragon and phoenix, clashing within the same battlefield
It was something no one had ever witnessed before.
This was a once in a lifetime spectacle, a level that countless alchemists could only dream of reaching.
And yet
It was right in front of them.
Even Elder Sheng, one of the Eight Great Elders of the Pill Tower, couldn't help but marvel in awe.
The collision between the dragon and phoenix was inevitable
It was beyond anyone's control now.
The Soul Phoenix shot toward Wu Tian at lightning speed, appearing right above him in mere moments.
At the same time
Wu Tian's Soul Dragon soared through the air
Then suddenly
It slammed into the phoenix with full force!
"BOOM!"
The moment dragon and phoenix clashed, a terrifying soul storm erupted, sweeping through the entire hall.
The indestructible stone floor cracked open, leaving arm thick fissures across its surface.
This wasn't a physical attack
It was purely a soul clash.
And yet, it still caused devastating damage.
If this had struck a weaker soul, the person's mind would've been utterly shattered
Leaving them a soulless husk, a living corpse!
But the soul storm came fast
And disappeared even faster.
Both Wu Tian and Cao Ying sat perfectly still, only retreating three steps backward.
Of course
Wu Tian had intentionally stepped back to make it seem like an even match.
After all, she was a renowned "Enchantress", a rare prodigy
It wouldn't be befitting of a grand figure like him to completely crush her.
The fact that both took three steps back left everyone stunned.
A draw?!
No one
Not even those who knew Wu Tian's identity
Had expected the battle to end like this.
And while everyone's attention was locked onto the two combatants
Someone else had been completely forgotten.
Dan Xuan.
After the clash
He had been forcefully blown out of the red circle.
At first, he had braced himself for the shame
But when he stood up
He realized something even worse.
No one even cared that he lost.
His presence had been completely erased
Like he never existed in the battle to begin with.
For someone who had always been the center of attention, this was an even greater humiliation.
He clenched his fists, his expression darkening with resentment.
"Wu Tian… one day, I will make you pay for this!"
Meanwhile
Cao Ying's alluring gaze remained locked onto Wu Tian.
Her lips curled into a mischievous smirk, causing Wu Tian to chuckle lightly.
Truly an enchantress.
She was like a sly, seductive serpent, wrapping herself around her prey
Trying to unsettle his mind and make him lose focus.
But she had miscalculated.
Wu Tian's expression never wavered.
Even in this hall, many men had already fallen for her charms.
Some stared with admiration
Others with desire.
But Wu Tian?
Completely unfazed.
And that was what intrigued her the most.
"You're strong," Cao Ying suddenly remarked, her seductive voice laced with amusement.
"You were holding back during the earlier tests… and now, you're still holding back."
She gracefully stretched out her slender arms, her curvaceous figure moving like a snake, sending waves of wild fantasies through the minds of countless men in the hall.
But Wu Tian simply sighed internally.
Is she… flirting with me?
Trying to tempt me?
Did she think he was afraid to take her?
He almost wanted to laugh out loud.
Enchantress or not
If he really wanted her, what could she do to resist?
But Cao Ying herself was starting to feel something odd
For the first time, a man was completely immune to her charms.
Everyone else in the hall had reacted in some way.
But this man?
Not even a flicker of emotion in his gaze.
This…
This was new.
This was exciting.
She wanted to figure him out.
"Now then," Cao Ying continued, a playful smirk on her lips.
"Let's not waste any more time."
"If you can block one more attack from me, I'll admit defeat and withdraw from the match."
Her delicate hand reached out, forming a mysterious, intricate seal in the air.
Her voice, like silk, danced through the hall.
"But before we continue…"
She suddenly smiled
A deep, alluring smile.
"Wu Tian, sir…"
Her voice lowered into a soft, intoxicating tone
"After the tournament… would you do me the honor of meeting me in private?"
"..."
The entire hall fell silent.
Did she just…
Ask him out?
A meeting between a man and a woman
Wasn't that basically a date?!
If things got even a little heated, wouldn't this turn into
A scandalous affair between Cao Ying and Wu Tian?!
Many men felt their hearts shatter at that moment.
This "Enchantress", who had never shown interest in anyone before
Had just openly invited Wu Tian!
Some clenched their fists, jealousy boiling in their veins.
Meanwhile, the heads of the Five Great Families began sweating profusely.
Everyone knew
Wu Tian already had many women.
And each one was a goddess tier genius.
Even Ye Xinlan, who sat beside him, was only a close friend
She wasn't even qualified to be his woman yet.
Cao Ying was definitely worthy, but…
Would someone else approve of this?
Because ultimately
Wu Tian was the Lord of Cai Lin's Pavilion.
And if anyone had the final say on his women
It was Cai Lin herself.
If the Medusa Queen was watching
Then if she got angry…
Even the Pill Tower might not be able to handle her wrath!
Wu Tian, on the other hand, simply smiled calmly.
"If Miss Cao Ying is willing," he replied, his voice relaxed.
"Why would I refuse?"
A friendly meeting, right?
After all
Cai Lin wants to take her as a disciple.
How could he refuse an opportunity to discuss it with her?
Cao Ying's eyes sparkled with amusement.
"Very well," she chuckled.
"Then allow me to show you… a little something special."
As she spoke, she gracefully extended her slender hand
And at that moment
A vast and overwhelming soul force erupted from her palm!
In the distorted space around her,
A shadowy handprint slowly took form
Faintly visible, yet radiating an unstoppable force!
