The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 444: Duel (First Update)

On the day of the duel, the wind was clear and the sky was cloudless.The disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect, upon receiving the news, finished their morning lessons early and rushed to the competition site to secure a good spot. It was simply a sea of people, and even in the sky, flying swords hovered in the air.

When Jiang Nuo finished his breakfast and appeared at the scene with his wife, he was surprised to see so many people.

"Dear, why are there so many people?"

"Everyone’s here to see how you lose," Mu Qiuniang said.

"Really? Shouldn’t they be here to see how I show my might and defeat that third wheel eyeing my wife?"

Mu Qiuniang glanced at him and explained, "I heard them saying they heard from a friend’s brother’s sister’s uncle’s friend’s neighbor that you’ve only been cultivating for a few months, but Lei Qianhua has been cultivating since he could walk, for more than a decade or two without a break. So, the odds of you winning are 1:100; and the odds of you losing are 50:1."

"Do they have to look down on me like this? Dear, do you think I will win or lose?"

"If you can’t even beat an Enlightenment Stage expert, that would be too embarrassing!"

"Hehehe... so you really have confidence in me, dear?"

"Jingshu is here," Mu Qiuniang reminded him.

Jiang Nuo turned his head and saw Zhan Jingshu, dressed in white with a certain xianxia demeanor, walking towards them.

"Master, Grandmaster!"

"You came too? How is it, here to watch your Grandmaster compete?" Jiang Nuo had a smile on his face.

Zhan Jingshu took out a package from his space ring and handed it to Jiang Nuo: "This is something I prepared for you, Grandmaster. I hope you can use it later."

"What is it?" Jiang Nuo was a bit surprised. This guy, having only been at the Hidden Immortal Sect for a short time, already started preparing gifts for him?

"A little defensive gadget." Zhan Jingshu didn’t hide it, whispering, "After coming here, I found the artifact refining here quite interesting, so I learned a few things and made some little gadgets. Later, if you feel rushed, you can throw a few of these to delay time."

"Hmm! Thank you, Jingshu!" Jiang Nuo confirmed by asking, "I just throw it out directly, right?"

Zhan Jingshu nodded: "Yes, just throw it out."

Jiang Nuo laughed: "What if I accidentally drop it?"

Zhan Jingshu was taken aback: "I’ve never dropped it."

"But if you give it to your junior brother Aaron, he’ll definitely drop it accidentally, and he might drop more than one."

Zhan Jingshu felt a headache: "Forget about him, let me study it a bit more. That guy is careless, these things aren’t suitable for him."

"Am I your guinea pig?"

"Grandmaster," Zhan Jingshu said helplessly, "I tested it myself; there’s no problem. Only then did I bring it for you. If something were to happen, do you think Master would let me off?"

"Just kidding with you!"

...

Lei Qianhua and his group arrived quickly, besides Lei Qianhua in his grand outfit for the stage, there were a few others.

When Jiang Nuo looked over, Lei Qianhua raised his chin high, while the others avoided his gaze, seemingly afraid to offend him.

Jiang Nuo was helpless, thinking, if they were afraid of offending him, why even challenge him?

"Are you planning on a wheel battle?" Jiang Nuo leapt onto the platform and said.

The platform was provided by the Artifact Refining Peak. They had many masters who crafted all sorts of strange things, and these disposable arenas were among them. With so many disciples in the Hidden Immortal Sect, they had to make quick-use products to handle their consumption.

"What, are you scared?" Lei Qianhua was the first to step onto the platform, "You’re the Fairy’s man. If you don’t even have this bit of courage, what’s the point of being the Fairy’s man?"

"I’m not scared, just wondering if after I win, will you feel particularly humiliated?"

Lei Qianhua sneered: "Aren’t there Replenishing Essence Pills? If you’re injured, there are Healing Pills. Although I know you’ve only been cultivating for a few months, you should know these basics, right?"

"So you know I’ve only been cultivating for a few months? And you’re someone who’s been cultivating for over a decade, yet you challenge someone who’s only been cultivating for a few months? Isn’t that clearly bullying me, picking the easy target?" Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow.

"You’ve only been cultivating for a few months, that’s your issue. Who asked you to monopolize the position beside the Fairy? In our cultivation world, only strength matters. If you lack strength, don’t block others’ paths!" Lei Qianhua pulled a fiery red whip from his waist and cracked it in the air with a "pop."

Coupled with his splendid red battle robe and striking appearance, he looked like a war god descended upon earth.

Meanwhile, Jiang Nuo wore a casual white robe, embroidered with a row of delicate white rose vines, which perfectly matched the circle on Mu Qiuniang’s dress, forming a heart. Truly worthy of his title as an actor, exuding an emperor’s domineering aura with ease. As he planted the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword in front of him, a wave of commanding presence rippled outwards.

Boom—

The war god aura and emperor aura clashed, creating a surge at their intersection.

For those watching nearby, the closer ones seemed to feel a gust of wind rushing towards them, stinging their eyes slightly.

Wasn’t the Grandmaster only cultivating for a few months? Why does it seem like he’s not weaker than that Lei guy?

Some disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect began to doubt in their hearts.

Sect Leader Gong Xihe was also quite surprised. For a cultivator, aura is very important. With the improvement of cultivation, the aura also strengthens, which is why someone of a higher cultivation level can suppress their opponent even before making a move.

There are even highly gifted individuals who can suppress an opponent so much that they can’t fight back, forcing them to concede directly.

"Oh! So, you think I’m blocking your path? Sorry, but that spot beside my wife is mine, and I’m not planning on giving it up in this lifetime. Even if I’m blocking your path, I’ll continue to do so," Jiang Nuo raised a brow and said.

"Then I’ll break your path!" Lei Qianhua swung his Fire Cloud Whip, his speed as fast as lightning, charging directly at Jiang Nuo.

Jiang Nuo squinted slightly, shifting his left foot back, his whole body moving like a gust of wind.

Boom—

The Fire Cloud Whip and Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword clashed, intertwining red and thunder light, red and blue-violet colliding.

A short distance apart, the two men’s gazes clashed, neither willing to concede, resolute and determined. Of course, there was also a youthful arrogance in Lei Qianhua’s reddish eyes; while Jiang Nuo was more focused on his dedication to this relationship and his hopes for the future.

Since he had decided to accompany Mu Qiuniang as immortally bonded companions for eternity, how could he allow himself to be defeated here?

No matter how admirable this young man was or how he reminded him of past events, he absolutely would not let Mu Qiuniang go!
