436: Thunder and Bone 436: Thunder and Bone Except for Hou Wu, who had already known, all the special envoys on the island looked at Wu Qi with surprise and uncertainty, never expecting him to choose to challenge a Star Lord.
Usually, competing with a First Level Special Envoy with a vacant seat was much easier than directly challenging a sitting Star Lord.
Moreover, there were two vacant seats now!
In the past century, those who advanced by challenging a Star Lord were few and far between.
No one knew if Wu Qi had planned this from the beginning or if he had gotten cold feet after seeing the prowess of Su Yuan and Xia Xuan.
But no matter what, upon realizing that Wu Qi was going to challenge a Star Lord, many special envoys on the island couldn’t help but feel secretly excited, looking up at the three Star Lords above.
Not everyone had seen a Star Lord in action, especially the new special envoys in this term.
On the Jade Pillar, Xu Fan didn’t respond directly. Instead, he asked the two Star Lords beside him.
“Su Yuan and Xia Xuan, what do you think?”
Zhang Qianyi casually replied with a smile, “I think it’s fine.”
Chen Chunhua pondered for a while and then said, “Judging by strength alone, both of them are sufficient.”
Since both of them had agreed, it was settled.
Xu Fan nodded, then descended on his Blue Bird and asked loudly, “Is there anyone else who wants to challenge these two on the stage?”
Xu Fan’s gaze swept over the Martial Arts Arena. Apart from the already defeated Fu Dongliu, Song Xingyun, and others, the rest were all ranked outside the top ten.
Seeing Xu Fan looking around, none of the crowd moved.
“In that case, I announce that Su Yuan and Xia Xuan are the victors of the first stage of this selection of Star Lords. The two vacant seats, Yu Heng and Tianxuan, will be taken by these two!”
“Good!” Baili Ge clenched his fist.
Xiong Chunyang shouted from afar, “Awesome, Su Yuan… No, Lord Su Xing, hahaha!”
Those familiar with Su Yuan like Tian Bulue, Lin Chongyun, and others were astonished yet delighted for him.
As for the surrounding crowd, they were filled with endless envy and admiration.
“Two newly appointed Star Lords are so young; their future is limitless.”
“If I remember correctly, both of them are from the Vermilion Bird Imperial and are newcomers this term!”
“Yes, who would have thought. After the fall of Star Lord Duanmu of the Vermilion Bird Imperial, they now have two new Star Lords!”
…
Amidst the chatter, Su Yuan and Xia Xuan also stepped off the stage.
Xu Fan said, “Please wait a moment. After this selection is over, follow me to receive your official appointments.”
“Thank you, Lord Xu,” Su Yuan and Xia Xuan both nodded in agreement.
Su Yuan was in a good mood. Regardless of anything else, at least he now had access to the array secret scrolls required by the Barrier Master.
Moreover, the Space Star Device was also something to look forward to!
Beside him, Xia Xuan was smiling but also feeling a bit emotional inside.
Since becoming a Star Card Master, things had gone smoothly. Receiving the Divine Fire, entering Shining Star, and quickly rising to a First Level Special Envoy at a speed far exceeding others.
After which, he suppressed many First Level Special Envoys and found few worthy opponents within the Bright Star Level.
It wasn’t until the encounter with the Capricorn Star Envoy in the Qingming Realm that he realized his strength had flaws.
This time, if it weren’t for the fortunate acquisition of the Green Lotus Purifying Fire in the New Dust Realm, he might not have managed to become a Star Lord.
“Capricorn…”
Xia Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, now filled with a chill.
But soon after, Xia Xuan thought of the man in the blood robe.
“Who knows what the outcome was that day, and who was that person exactly…” Xia Xuan’s eyes showed contemplation.
“Then let’s move on to the second stage!” At this moment, Xu Fan’s voice interrupted everyone’s thoughts.
Xu Fan looked directly at Wu Qi and said, “So, who do you want to challenge?”
Unless there were some dark horse emerging, it was clear who had the qualifications to challenge a sitting Star Lord.
Wu Qi’s gaze swept over Xu Fan, and then the faces of Zhang Qianyi on the high Jade Pillar, finally stopping on Chen Chunhua.
“Star Lord Chen, please advise,” Wu Qi cupped his hands towards Chen Chunhua.
A cold gleam flashed in Chen Chunhua’s eyes. Then Thunder Light flashed across his body, and he instantly disappeared from the Jade Pillar, appearing in front of Wu Qi!
“Zzz, zzz…”
Agitated purple currents glittered in Chen Chunhua’s eyes, a roar of thunder faintly echoing under his thin appearance!
“You want to challenge me?” Chen Chunhua glared at Wu Qi coldly.
No one would be happy to be challenged; it was seen as a question of their strength.
Especially for Chen Chunhua, who had held the position for two terms and was not young!
However, Wu Qi looked calm, meeting Chen Chunhua’s gaze without evasion, and said: “Yes!”
