Lan Nuo's cool voice echoed through Lan Clan's Immortal City. A phoenix cry followed. A figure in a green dress, atop a golden chariot with a true phoenix spirit, rose slowly into the sky. The chariot glead like a sun, drawing all eyes.
The woman aboard was graceful, her figure perfect—slender waist, balanced curves, neither overpowering nor understated. Her oval face, like carved jade, glowed faintly pink, flawless. Her cold eyes carried an aloof distance. On the chariot, she seed an ancient solar goddess.
The crowd erupted, many prodigies' eyes sparkling. This radiant woman was Lan Nuo, the Heavy Pupil wielder. Central Continent's last pride, the only prodigy Ye Chen acknowledged, able to rival him. She was their final hope.
Countless supporters wished she'd match him, curbing his arrogance. Defeating him? Few dared hope—his terror was too great; a draw would be enough.
…
Lan Clan mbers, urging Ye Chen to try their beef, stopped.
Seeing Lan Nuo, Ye Chen's interest piqued. "No beef!" he said, soaring skyward.
Above, an array glowed—the Lan Clan's sky battlefield, set for all to witness this epic clash.
Gazing at the jade-like, elegant, aloof Lan Nuo and her new chariot, Ye Chen sighed—she'd mastered showing off. Her flair was sharpening.
In high spirits, he smiled, "Fairy Lan, long ti no see!"
Lan Nuo, sensing the volcanic power beneath Ye Chen's fra, felt fear. This wasn't about winning. One punch could kill her. But under countless gazes—prodigies, powerhouses, elders—she hid her turmoil, her calm eyes emotionless. "I've waited long too. Once, Heavy Pupils fell to the Heavenly Emperor's sacred body. This era, I'll change that, proving Heavy Pupils surpass it…"
As she spoke, she stowed her chariot, the phoenix spirit circling her as she stood in the void. Ye Chen, chariotless, thought it rude to stay seated. Her words earned his silent applause. Her showmanship was spot-on.

Perfect.
Another man saying this would've been punched dead mid-sentence. But Lan Nuo? Adorable. He faced her, voice candid, "I should've co sooner, but mundane matters delayed . Two postponed fights, ten years absent, dragging this battle out! For other Central Continent prodigies, they should wait—facing is their honor. But you're different, Fairy Lan, worthy of my personal visit! Before we fight, I'll gift you sothing as an apology."
His voice carried, clear to all.
Lan Nuo's eyes twinkled with a smile. Ye Chen dismissed all Central Continent prodigies but favored her. It felt amazing.
Spectators, used to his tone, couldn't retort, hoping Lan Nuo would uphold their pride.
Luo Bingling, just receiving Yellow Spring Water from her clan, frowned. Ye Chen's weekly gifting ant she was due for Dao Charm Pills today. But now, he'd gift Lan Nuo? Would her pills go to her? A War God Clan princess, outdone by everyone? Unacceptable. Then, her pupils shrank, eyes wide with disbelief, as if the sky had collapsed!
Above the sky, Lan Nuo heard Ye Chen praising her, boosting her prestige, and offering a gift. She was nearly certain Ye Chen had seen through her. She wouldn't be one-punched or have her persona collapse. But with him paving her path to glory, even using his invincible reputation, how could she accept more gifts?
She was about to refuse. Then Ye Chen produced a golden jade slip. A top-tier slip he'd prepared, infused with the Minor Space Technique fragnt to elevate its value.
Presenting it, he spoke earnestly, "This is a secret technique I gained from Sword Saint Kong Ke's legacy in the Immortal Path's second realm. Called Minor Space Technique, from the Black Yellow World. Kong Ke obtained it from an enemy, using it to perfectly break through to King, forming a cave heaven.
"With it, he created the top-tier Instant Kill Sword Technique, rising from an ordinary prodigy to Immortal Path fa. Kong Ke said it derives from the Major Space Technique, one of the Immortal Realm's three thousand great Daos, holding ultimate space truths. Mastering it for a cave heaven surpasses the Space Divine Stone. Only flaw—it's a fragnt. Seeing Friend Lan at peak Second Heaven, this will ensure an invincible cave heaven, reaching new heights…"
His public explanation stunned everyone, eyes wide. The Heavenly Emperor's heir was absurd. Gifting before a fight? Such a precious gift? He valued Lan Nuo that much?
Lan Nuo, words on her lips, was speechless. Her clan sought a Space Divine Stone for her, but its rarity forced her to plan to try her luck on the Immortal Path. Now, Ye Chen gifted her the Minor Space Technique, better than the stone!
This… it was her mont to shine. But her lips parted, unable to speak.
…
Most shocked, most incredulous, was Luo Bingling. Her face twisted, abs taut with anger. Minor Space Technique? Better than the Space Divine Stone? From Kong Ke's legacy! How didn't she know? Why didn't Ye Chen give it to her?
