Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 6: Beating Up the Scumbag Woman, the Apprentice Recruitment Ceremony Begins

When Li Wudao and his group arrived, many people had already been stationed around the Xuantian Sect.

They were densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see, numbering at least tens of thousands, all young people who had come to take the exam.

Many people had already pitched their tents and camped nearby, so as not to miss the opportunity for tomorrow's assessment.

The younger generation of the Li family were very excited, looking around in awe at the sight before them.

As a first-class sect in the Eastern Wilderness, the Xuantian Sect covers a vast area, boasting hundreds of towering peaks, brimming with spiritual energy and possessing extraordinary power.

Looking into the distance, ancient trees reach for the sky, cranes circle overhead, and waterfalls and springs cascade down on both sides of the sect gate, making a thunderous sound.

It is indeed a place of natural beauty and natural charm.

After a day of riding in a carriage, Li Wudao was a little tired and decided to go for a stroll.

I had just gotten off the carriage and hadn't taken more than a few steps when I heard a mocking jeer coming from the side.

"Oh, I didn't expect you, a piece of trash, to actually dare to come."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Li Wudao frowned slightly and glanced sideways.

Sun Qian, arms crossed, walked toward him with the rest of the Sun family, whispering among themselves, some sneering, others disdainful.

Throughout the conversation, Li Wudao was subjected to nothing but extreme humiliation.

"What does your Sun family mean by this? Do you really think our Prince's Mansion is easy to bully?!"

"Shut up! Who gave you the audacity to humiliate the Crown Prince?"

The Li family members noticed this scene and quickly moved closer to Li Wudao, their faces filled with vigilance and anger.

Sun Qian brought a stranger to the Wangfu (Prince's Mansion) to annul the engagement, causing the entire mansion to lose face. They had long hated this woman.

"I wondered who was barking like a dog, it turns out to be you, you mangy dog."

Li Wudao raised an eyebrow, feigning indifference.

"You...you dare to insult me?"

Sun Qian's face stiffened, and she pointed at Li Wudao in disbelief.

"So what if I curse you? Who do you think you are? I dare to hit you."

Li Wudao quickly stepped out of the crowd, his movements swift as the wind, and slapped Sun Qian hard across the left cheek.

Snapped--

The sound was crisp and clear, echoing for dozens of meters around.

Caught off guard, Sun Qian was slapped to the ground, half of her head buzzing, her meticulously styled hair disheveled.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Over the years, Li Wudao had been completely obedient to him, listening to his every word and daring to do as he was told, even more obedient than a dog.

I never imagined that I would dare to slap her in public today.

The Li and Sun families were also stunned.

However, the former felt relieved, while the latter's face darkened.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Churan was slightly surprised to see this scene.

Is this still the same dull, submissive boy?

It's like he's become a completely different person.

"You piece of trash dare to hit me? What a disgrace... unforgivable!"

Sun Qian struggled to stand up, her hair disheveled, her face contorted, looking as if she wanted to tear Li Wudao to pieces.

Her left cheek was swollen, with a clear handprint on it, which looked rather comical.

How dare you humiliate me like this!

Sun Qian clenched her fist and directly channeled her inner energy, striking towards Li Wudao's face.

With her peak Body Tempering Realm cultivation, this punch was enough to severely injure Li Wudao, who was just a mortal.

"It's urgent, it's urgent."

Li Wudao smiled dismissively.

With a step back, he easily dodged the punch, and then slapped Sun Qian across the right cheek with his backhand.

After that slap, Sun Qian coughed up blood, lost two teeth, and staggered, almost collapsing to the ground.

"stop!"

The elders of the Sun family looked grim. They were about to step forward to protect the family, but were stopped by the guards of the Li family and could only watch helplessly.

They were puzzled. Wasn't Li Wudao mediocre, not even having reached the early stage of Body Tempering Realm?

How could a piece of trash have such strength?

It's really unreasonable.

Jiang Churan was also confused.

If it was a coincidence that Li Wudao knocked Sun Qian down the first time.

That second time was by no means accidental.

Because if a martial artist is consciously on guard, it is impossible for an ordinary person to even touch them.

However, Li Wudao did not circulate his true energy; it seems he only used his physical strength to defeat Sun Qian, who was at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

"This guy has a secret..."

Even Jiang Churan, as an unparalleled empress, couldn't quite see through Li Wudao.

With her cultivation level, she was unable to detect the latter's realm.

In this situation, it's either because the opponent's cultivation level is several realms higher.

Or they possess a treasure that can conceal their presence.

But regardless, one thing she was certain of:

Li Wudao is no longer an ordinary person.

.........

"I am going to kill you!"

At this moment, Sun Qian couldn't care less about anything else.

He was completely insane, filled with extreme shame and anger, wishing he could grind Li Wudao to dust.

She drew her sword, unleashing her full power, and roared as she charged towards Li Wudao, ready to fight to the death.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Li Wudao remained calm and composed.

Just as he was preparing to teach this scumbag woman a lesson,

The outer sect elders of the Xuantian Sect rushed over and forcibly stopped the fight.

"Enough! That's enough. This is Xuantian Sect territory. No one is allowed to cause trouble here. If this happens again, you will be disqualified from the assessment!"

Since the sect elders had spoken, Sun Qian had no choice but to give up, no matter how unwilling she was.

"Consider yourself lucky, you piece of trash. I'll spare your life today, but wait until tomorrow when the assessment begins, and see how you make a fool of yourself!"

After uttering those harsh words, she lowered her head and left, her face ashen.

The Sun family members also left in a hurry. They had lost all face today, and it would be uncomfortable to stay any longer.

"A clown..."

Li Wudao sneered inwardly.

If it weren't for the original owner's grudge against him, he wouldn't have bothered with such a person.

In my past life, this kind of person wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes.

"Your Highness, you're so domineering!"

"Your Highness is awesome! I've wanted to beat that bitch for ages!"

"Exactly! I've been wanting to get rid of that bitch for ages. Well done, Your Highness!"

The Li family members gathered around, clapping and cheering, expressing their satisfaction.

The younger generation, who had initially looked down on Li Wudao, changed their views considerably after this incident and took the initiative to approach him for a chat.

After dealing with the clansmen,

Li Wudao hummed a little tune as he sat back in the carriage, feeling relaxed and happy.

He looked at Jiang Churan and asked, "So, how was my performance just now? Pretty cool, huh?"

The girl blinked her eyelashes and said softly, "It's acceptable."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and ignored him.

[Ding! Jiang Churan's favorability +2, current favorability value 5]

Li Wudao muttered to himself, saying one thing but meaning another.

This future empress seems to have a bit of a tsundere personality...

As night fell.

Silent all night.

The next day.

Li Wudao opened his eyes.

He glanced at Jiang Churan, who still had her eyes closed, and a slight suspicion arose in his heart:

"Huh, this girl has also reached the early stage of the Blood Realm? So fast..."

As he gazed at the girl's porcelain-like profile, Li Wudao tried to describe her with some words.

Phrases like "fish sink and geese fall from the sky" and "moon hides and flowers blush" are considered too vulgar and incomparable, failing to capture the essence.

Suddenly,

The girl opened her eyes, looked at him calmly, and said with a half-smile, "Is it pretty?"

Feeling uneasy under that gaze, Li Wudao quickly looked away and casually glanced out the window.

He thought to himself, "She really is a woman of destiny; her aura is overwhelming, and ordinary people really can't subdue her."

Not long after,

A series of bells rang out from outside.

when--

The Xuantian Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony has begun.
