Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1527 - Strongest Youth?

"Top three?" Top Disciple Gong Kim-Jin laughed, "You mean you’re third while I’m first, right? Of course, our Beauty Mu Bing would be second. Hehe..."

His words indicated that he acknowledged her power but still looked down on her. Nevertheless, Top Disciple Mu Bing, who was seated alone like a solitary figure, acted like she didn’t hear his words.

People were taken aback by her beauty and bearing, immediately fantasizing about her.

"No, both of you aren’t going to be in the top three. That’s for sure."

Sophie giggled, causing Gong Kim-Jin to wryly laugh, looking not at all bothered. Meanwhile, she turned around as her voice resounded.

"My love, can I have this chance to prove that he’s none the wiser?"

Davis didn’t care about battling these weaklings. Instead, he turned his head to look at Niera but saw her shaking her head. He smiled and returned his gaze back to Sophie.

"Go ahead, sweetheart."

Sophie widely smiled as she received his permission. Moreover, he even called her sweetheart in the eyes of the public, making her feel enormously excited. Her whole body felt like it was overflowing with energy.

Looking at her tremble as if overreacting, Evelynn and the others giggled, but the guests were dumbfounded.

Just a while ago, some of the relatively young confident ones with Law Sea Stage Cultivation had set their sights on her, but her asking permission from Davis Alstreim clearly indicated her loyalty to him.

How many talented women did this bloke have!?

Such a talent was willing to become his woman even though he looked like he had many fawning over him right at this moment!?

Their eyes practically burned with fury and jealousy!

However, they became confused.

Was Davis Alstreim crazy? This was Gong Kim-Jin they were talking about!

Defeating him wouldn’t be as easy as defeating Top Disciple Brim Hisler.

Hearing Davis and Sophie’s exchange, Grand Elder Krax Alstreim nearly cried. It was now joyfully obvious to him that Sophie had successfully gained Davis’s favor and became his woman.

However, on the other hand, Top Disciple Gong Kim-Jin’s expression became a bit difficult, as if he found this scene hard to swallow. He could see that Sophie appeared to be Davis’s woman, but did she truly cross that line?

He didn’t know and wanted to try.

"Make her suffer. Don’t care about the consequences."

A soul transmission fell on Gong Kim-Jin’s mind, causing him to feel bad. He too began to have his eyes on Sophie Alstreim, but it looks like Ancestor Gong Kim-Il wants Davis’s woman to suffer and, as a result, humiliate the Alstreim Family.

He looked at the dome, sighed, and shook his head.

"I apologize, Ancestor. Originally, I came expecting a face-off with the Alstreim Family’s men. Unless this woman had done something wrong, I wouldn’t intentionally harm her."

He sent back a soul transmission and posed for battle as he heard Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s voice echo to announce the start of the battle.

"You...!"

Ancestor Gong Kim-Il trembled as he inwardly cursed.

How dare this child go against his wishes!?

Sophie wasn’t aware of this exchange as she readied herself, but Davis and the other Ancestors were aware of their soul transmissions, although they weren’t aware of the content. Nevertheless, Davis and the two Ancestors went into caution mode so as to not let Sophie be subjected to external harm.

"Miss Sophie. I have no wives, much less any woman who I’m willing to spend my life with unless I approve of her. Will you consider taking my hand in marriage if I win against you?"

"Nope~"

"Woa- What!?"

The audience was just about to explode from hearing this sudden confession before they were taken aback by Sophie’s quick response.

Gong Kim-Jin had just seemingly confessed that he acknowledged Sophie Alstreim and wanted her as his wife, but he ended up being quickly rejected?

What the...!?

Even Gong Kim-Jin seemed to be visibly taken aback by Sophie’s spontaneous rejection. He blinked before he sighed.

"Certainly, I could not match Davis Alstreim’s physical prowess at the moment. No wonder I was rejected."

"You’ll still get rejected no matter how strong you become, so don’t go imagining that you have even the least bit of chance with me."

Sophie frowned as she continued, "Also, I’m warning you. If you ask about this again, then I will take it as an offense."

"I see, that’s a pity. I didn’t know that you have truly given yourself to Davis Alstreim, so I apologize."

Gong Kim-Jin relaxed his posture and clasped his hands in apology before he returned to his battle pose. Sophie also nodded, accepting his apology.

"Then, here I come!"

*Whoosh!~*

Gong Kim-Jin rushed towards her. He dashed halfway before he leaped, creating an immense momentum as he quickly closed the distance.

Sophie conjured the same flaming glaive from the palm of her hands. Looking at his incoming figure, she held the polearm with both her hands and raised it, blocking his fist.

The impact created a loud reverberation, but neither of them ended up moving an inch. The fist struck the polearm of the flaming glaive, but it seemed to be fine with no amount of burning damage inflicted on it.

Everyone became flabbergasted.

This kind of physical might.

Wasn’t it at the Seventh Stage!? They momentarily couldn’t understand!

"Oh?" Gong Kim-Jin became visibly impressed, "Your essence energy was able to withstand my physical might? Marvelous! You should then watch out for my martial energy!"

*Whizz!~*

His fist turned into a black shade of iron while metallic energy radiated around him. His fist pulled back ever so lightly before he instantaneously struck. That single punch carried immense force that was concentrated on a single point as it exploded onto its target.

*Boom!~*

The solidified essence energy flaming glaive shattered from the center while Sophie flew back elegantly from the force pushing her away before she landed, looking unharmed while the transparent veil she wore slowly swayed, revealing her beautiful face before it covered her again.

"What!? Gong Kim-Jin also entered the Martial Master Stage despite having a Law Dominion Stage Cultivation!?"

The crowd went buzzing in disbelief.

Wasn’t Gong Kim-Jin said to be at the Sixth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation!? How could he improve so soon!?

Wouldn’t this make him an outstanding bi-cultivator!?

However, Gong Kim-Jin didn’t stop following her. He was momentarily taken aback by her beauty when he was on the move, but he didn’t stop his attacks. Although he said that he wouldn’t intentionally harm her, he still had to win this fight, or else he knew that Ancestor Gong Kim-Il, his great grandfather, wouldn’t forgive him and whoop his ass!

His fist covered with his metallic martial energy reached her as he punched again.

*Shhh!~*

Sophie instantly created another flaming glaive and defended against his punch.

*Boom!~*

His fist struck her polearm again. However, it didn’t break like before.

Moving the flaming glaive sideways to defend, Gong Kim-Jin’s kick struck the polearm and shattered the flaming glaive. However, Sophie retreated using the momentum and landed without even experiencing so much as a single injury.

*Whoosh!~*

Gong Kim-Jin didn’t let her gain much distance. He quickly followed suit and punched, but Sophie was quicker this time. She had instantaneously created that similar-looking flaming glaive and swung it down.

*Clang!~*

They clashed!

Flames and sparks flew from their clash, making their surroundings brighten up with a yellowish-orange glow! They moved back and swung once again, clashing with their fist and glaive.

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

Their weapons repeatedly met, creating metallic sounds that resounded throughout the battle platform and made them appear breathtaking to the crowd!

Sophie didn’t use any battle techniques, but she did indeed use her movement technique to move spontaneously and gracefully at the same time. Her footwork left Gong Kim-Jin in the dust and let her have an edge, but as people expected, Sophie’s flaming glaive from condensed essence energy broke again.

"Haha, see that? Even though this woman is exceptional, she still could not measure up to Gong Kim-Jin’s fighting sense and skills, much less martial strength."

"Ah, I was hoping to see her defeat him. It would’ve become completely sensational..."

"What? How can it be!?"

A male youth and a female youth in the spectator seats spoke and argued, which kicked off a discussion about martial cultivators faring against essence-gathering cultivators, making them almost get into a fight before it was suppressed by their elders interfering.
