The charming and attractive figure of Zhang Xinya flew to where Ling Tian was, again leaving everyone in the stadium stunned.
One of the famous Goddesses of Star City was flying too!
The men were amazed when the fear in them was greatly reduced, appreciating the beautiful and beguiling figure of Zhang Xinya, just like all the other people.
However, unlike Ling Tian, Zhang Xinya was flying with her feet on a sword...
"The legendary flying sword?" The middle-aged man spoke again in astonishment when he witnessed this.
The Legendary Flying Sword?
This question went through the minds of everyone at the site as they continued to observe both people flying in the sky.
Zhang Ruoyan and Zhang Chao opened their eyes full of surprise when they saw their daughter flying just as Ling Tian does when he is flying on a sword.
"When did Ya'er learn to fly with a sword?" Zhang Ruoyan muttered in astonishment.
Not only did her parents look on in disbelief, but everyone else was also stunned to see Zhang Xinya fly like Ling Tian.
"Our future husband taught us, Auntie." Mu Shuiruo's tender cheeks blushed when she spoke.
Ling Tian taught these girls?
Everyone in that room began to quickly assimilate this event, as they had seen before that Yun Mengxin could also fly, so it would not be strange if Ling Tian taught the girls to fly as well.
People thought all they were witnessing was a dream!
A young man who is a God!
Lightning, wind and ice combining and changing the weather into a terrible one!
Swords appearing in the air and surrounding the amazing God!
And now... a woman who is considered to be one of the famous Goddesses was also flying in the air!
Even though this woman was flying with the legendary flying sword, she was still flying!
The men looked at this beautiful Goddess with their hearts beating wildly, being bewitched by her enchanting beauty. Their traces of fear and dread of Ling Tian gradually diminished as they watched more of this woman's beauty, with their jaws wide open.
Zhang Xinya looked at all the people with her eyes narrowed and with a serious expression, and after several seconds she directed her gaze again towards the central box of the stadium, where her sisters were standing while she gave them a little sign with her eyes.
The next moment, the shock and amazement again overcame the limits in each person when they surprisingly saw more lovely figures flying in the air and approaching where Ling Tian and Zhang Xinya were.
Yun Mengxin, Long Yuyin, Tang Wanying and Mu Shuiruo approached Ling Tian and Zhang Xinya, flying on their own swords.
The eyes of each person looked incredulously at the people flying in the air.
Six people were flying in the air!
Finally, all the men stopped feeling any trace of fear towards Ling Tian when they saw their Goddesses flying surprisingly in the air.
The beauty of these women stunned everyone in the place; their long hair moving by the light air currents, as well as their fine and delicate clothes, showing that they really are beautiful, elegant and perfect Goddesses.
"Th-They... can also fly..."
"A-are they Gods, too?"
"B-but if they are people like us...
"The God and Goddesses of the Star City..."
The whispers were quickly heard as they continued to watch the people flying in the sky, unable to believe what they were witnessing with their eyes.
The famous Star City Goddesses turned out to be able to fly like him too!
Are they really Goddesses?
This question went through the mind of every single person in the place.
"Can these girls fly already?" Tang Zhi looked at her daughter and the other women in shock.
Tang Wei also looked at his daughter in shock.
Everyone looked at the women around Ling Tian in shock. Although they knew that Ling Tian told them that they could fly, they knew that they had to reach a certain stage of cultivation in order to do that, but they didn't know which level to reach.
"Yinyin, can you fly like them too?" Tang Zhi curiously asked Lan Yin, who sat obediently in her place, with her beautiful eyes almost never leaving Ling Tian.
"En! The Master gave a special sword to Yinyin too!" Lan Yin nodded with a happy smile as she brought out her own sword.
The others looked on in surprise at this little girl who affirmed that she too could fly, beginning to feel a little elated knowing that soon they too will be able to fly in the sky.
Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian looked at each other and smiled slyly, without saying a word that they too had learned to fly.
Ling Tian raised an eyebrow at the movement of his women, who approached him in the sky and looked at him with smiles.
It seems that these women also wanted to say or demonstrate something...
"This also goes for all of you." Zhang Xinya smiled charmingly as she saw all the people in the stadium, with her voice expressing distrust especially when she watched the women who were looking at Ling Tian with enamored eyes: "He will be our future husband, my future man, so no one should want to think about having a chance with him and keep stalking him too." She took Ling Tian's hand and stared at each of the women.
Even Long Yuyin went to the other side and grabbed Ling Tian's other hand, while showing a prideful and haughty expression as she looked at the women.
Yun Mengxin, Mu Shuiruo and Tang Wanying were also close to him.
The women in the stadium felt a slight chill when the gaze of Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin fell on each of them.
Ling Tian showed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry at Zhang Xinya's jealousy of not wanting anyone else to come near him. He was even surprised when he saw Long Yuyin doing the same thing as Zhang Xinya of holding his hand, showing that she agreed with Zhang Xinya at this moment.
Zhang Ruoyan giggled when she saw her daughter do all that.
"Our beloved Goddesses..."
A slight murmur among the men was heard after Zhang Xinya had finished speaking.
The faces of all the men paled when they felt their hearts breaking as they heard from the very Goddesses that they would marry the man who had beaten and humiliated them before.
Then they would no longer have a chance with these beloved Goddesses!
The happy and loving expression on each of the women flying through the air as they looked at the man in their midst showed that they had truly fallen in love with him, leaving all the men in the place stunned, unable and unwilling to accept what was happening.
It seems that their Goddesses had already been taken by someone else...
Ling Tian smiled lovingly at the sight of his beautiful women, who smiled at him tenderly and lovingly as well.
Instantly, they wrinkled their noses when an ugly smell came over them. Not only to them but to the whole stadium.
Directing their gaze to the platform, they noticed that the smell originated from there.
The men were even more shamed and humiliated when they realized that each of them had wet their pants a few moments earlier, with the smell beginning to spread throughout the place.
Immediately, all the men, without exception, fled the site when the humiliation overcame them. They would no longer have a face in the future...
Only a few lucky men who decided not to participate in the battle against Ling Tian and stayed out of the platform were saved, somehow saving their honor and the honor of their families.
"Let's go." Ling Tian said.
They nodded and before returning to the stadium's central box, oddly enough they all turned to look for several seconds at Shan Qingwu who was still in the same place where Ling Tian had left her.
Shan Qingwu felt the sharp looks of the Goddesses of the city falling on her, feeling observed in detail especially by Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya. However, she surprisingly did not back down and returned the gaze to them as well, although with obvious nervousness.
The women lifted the corners of their lips before flying back to the stadium's central box.
Ling Tian tilted his head in confusion as he noticed that his women watched the woman who had won the tournament for a while, but he did not say a word and only nodded with a slight smile at Shan Qingwu before following his beautiful wives to the central box of the stadium.
I also hope that this doesn't turn into some massive harem. These 5 girls are good. Each have proven themselves in their own way and have their own backstory. More girl mean less screen time to the others, and you will also have potential issues with personalities overlapping, thus diluting the entire cast.
I like the current lineup of;
Yun Mengxin - Ice Queen and main wife and best girl
Long Yuyin - Arrogant and battle minded. Bit of a wild temper
Mu Shuirou - Shy and delicate. Alchemist.
Zhang Xinya - A jealous seductress.
Tang Wangyin - Has a bit of "girl next door" kind of vibe and a bit of a temper.
Of the 5 girls, I feel that Mu Shuirou, Yun Mengxin, and Long Yuyin have the best established personalities, in that order. While Zhang Xinya and Tang Wangyin are a bit weaker in their personalities, as in, I don't know what they like and dislike. Adding another girl before these 5 girls have properly been cemented in the relationship with Ling Tian would be detrimental to the overall harem, imo.
Lastly, I hope @Riixhiie can update the glossary with the most important characters, adding personality traits, what each characters looks like, a quick background story, their likes and dislikes, and if possible, a picture (or inspiration picture from somewhere else) to guide readers thoughts.
On that note; I LOVE THIS NOVEL. It has exceeded my expectations again and again. Super great work, so keep it up. I wish I could do more to show support. If I can, please let me and other fans know, because it's been quality work and joyous read so far.
Thanks for yet another great chapter. You kick ass, @Riixhiie
But the girl that actually won the tournament is actually Upright and some kind of champion of Justice so that is actually a plus...
And besides , it does not matter how many harem member the MC will have. In the end , it will only depend on the author how he will deal with each character so that they will not mess the story up.
"This also goes for all of you." Zhang Xinya smiled charmingly as she saw all the people in the stadium, with her voice expressing distrust especially when she watched the women who were looking at Ling Tian with enamored eyes: "He will be our future husband, my future man, so no one should want to think about having a chance with him and keep stalking him too." She took Ling Tian's hand and stared at each of the women.
MC really needs to lower the girls jealousy so they stop trying to keep the harem from growing. Because to me the bigger the harem is the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That day the stadium filled with broken and scattered hearts of young people either males or females they all feel heartbroken that cannot be healed many years to come..
In the future that day will known as "The Day When Dream Heart Fallen"
I do hope this isn't heading towards a massive harem. At some point it's just not possible to give everybody enough attention, no matter how hard you try. Even now with a character-focused story I feel like it's on the edge. Five now, one disciple that can only really join after a timeskip or three, and presumably two more disciples later, is already a ton to manage without leaving anybody behind. One more isn't going to change much, and the different circumstances for her compared to the others leaves a fair bit of room for interesting developments so I won't say anything about this Qingwu specifically.
But hopefully Zinya and Yuyin will learn from this presumptive failure, and do better in the future.
We cant avoid that because of the dual-cultivation technique. At least ten or less is somewhat acceptable
Honestly if it was made it 6 with this new girl I’d be fine with. But like the guy said below I think under 10 is manageable especially if they are cultivators. You can have characters solo cultivating, take them out of the story for a bit to focus on other characters. Should be a nice balance their.
@ThisClown Eh, I think taking characters out for awhile is kind of awful. It's inevitable that people develop their own favorites and interests, and a rotation is a good way of ensuring reader interest also rotates...
And even without favorites being an issue, a big part of what makes things fun is interaction between the harem members. When many of them aren't around most of the time, it can get pretty dull.
You also end up with constantly facing the need to catch characters up, which itself presents a tough question. If you just go "and then they caught them up" you can move on with the story, but you lose insights into how the telling character viewed the scene as well as the reactions of the listener. Doing a good job of balancing that is really hard. And rotating characters in and out means you face that constantly.
@Yellowplantain Eh? How?
MC is already basically maxed out himself. He's not finding more benefits to dual-cultivating with more people. He also needs to raise the level of his partners, but only has so much time in a day. I don't see how dual-cultivation is pushing him to having more partners.
