Chapter 2815 - 2819: Astonishing Results, Gaining Peerless Martial Arts

"Deputy Sect Master Yun, I am but a junior and have achieved only a small success.

In this Magic Sea Secret Realm trial, I collected a total of fifteen hundred Magic Crystal Stones, as well as twenty Magic Sea King Crystals.

Everyone here can do the math, right? There should be no suspense as to who the first place is?"

Ling Xiao flaunted his results, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Moments later, thunderous cheers erupted.

Of course, most of the cheering came from those aligned with the Sect Master, but the sound was still overwhelming.

No one expected it, not even Chen Buyi; Ling Xiao, participating in the Magic Sea Secret Realm trial for the first time, actually snatched first place with such a huge lead.

As a result, the Magic Dragon Possession naturally belonged firmly to Ling Xiao.

Only after Ling Xiao cultivated would others be eligible to train.

Moreover, achieving such a result in three days had never been heard of before, making it an eternal record in the history of the Magic Sea Secret Realm.

Now that the Magic Sea Beast Emperor has vanished and the Magic Sea Secret Realm is collapsing, it’s unlikely there will be such trials in the future.

Looking at Ling Xiao standing there, confident and poised, everyone felt a tumult of emotions.

The most excited person was naturally Chen Buyi.

When he accepted this disciple, he was quite anxious, due to Chen Cangxiong’s precedent and the inevitable internal suppression of Ling Xiao within the Demon Dragon Sect.

There was no certainty whether Ling Xiao could make a name for himself.

But today, Ling Xiao’s dazzling achievement told him his initial choice was not wrong.

Not only was it correct, it was extraordinarily brilliant.

His joy was, naturally, Yun Zhong Feng’s sorrow and rage.

Having schemed and cheated, disregarding his dignity, he still wanted to stop Ling Xiao from winning.

But Ling Xiao won anyway, and did so effortlessly, as if delivering a resounding slap on his face.

He couldn’t do anything about it.

Yun Zhong Feng was burning with rage!

Frustration surged, an unquenchable fire roaring within his chest.

His eyes were fixed solely on Ling Xiao.

This brat was making him look so bad, ruining his plans time and again.

Previously, he had never considered personally taking action to eliminate Ling Xiao, thinking it unnecessary.

But starting today, he felt it was more appropriate to personally deal with this; unless Ling Xiao was eradicated, he would never have peace.

"Sect Master, congratulations, I’m feeling a bit unwell and will take my leave!"

With those words, Yun Zhong Feng prepared to depart with his entourage.

"Hold it!"

A voice called out to stop him.

"Deputy Sect Master Yun seems a bit forgetful, hasn’t made the previous matter clear, and I don’t wish to carry the blame for defaming a Deputy Sect Master."

The speaker was, of course, Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was not fond of the phrase ’Let bygones be bygones’; he only understood ’Strike while the iron is hot’!

"You!"

Yun Zhong Feng’s expression was extremely grim, "Brat, what exactly are you after?"

"Deputy Sect Master Yun gravitates towards grave words—it’s not my intention but rather it’s you, wearing the title of Deputy Sect Master, aiding Yun Lan’s cheating. Isn’t it humiliating?"

Ling Xiao gave no face to Yun Zhong Feng.

"Stop spouting nonsense without evidence!"

Yun Zhong Feng coldly replied.

"Who told you that I have no evidence?"

Ling Xiao laughed, "Everyone knows the Storage Ring has a minor feature that’s quite practical but seldom acknowledged in daily use.

It has a time recording function.

The cheat done by Deputy Sect Master Yun can be verified simply by examining Yun Lan’s Storage Ring."

His words spurred a wave of discussion.

"Indeed, it does have that little function; almost forgot how useful it is when organizing items."

"I’ve used it too; it definitely can prove if Deputy Sect Master Yun cheated."

"Deputy Sect Master Yun, stand upright without fearing shadows—let them check."

Disciples unaware of the truth loudly proclaimed; in their hearts, Deputy Sect Master Yun couldn’t be so despicable.

Yun Zhong Feng’s face sank to the depths.

He suddenly crushed Yun Lan’s Storage Ring with a grip, coldly remarking, "No one can doubt me, Yun Zhong Feng, no one!

Let’s go!"

His actions stunned countless disciples.

But Ling Xiao wore the victor’s smile.

Actually, this small function wasn’t as practical as he claimed; his certainty stemmed from understanding Yun Zhong Feng’s personality.

Yun Zhong Feng would definitely not permit any inspection.

And as expected, this proved true.

By destroying Yun Lan’s Storage Ring, Yun Zhong Feng effectively confessed without confrontation.

Looking at Yun Zhong Feng’s departing back, many secretly cursed him within their hearts.

The Deputy Sect Master’s once-soaring prestige was yet again successfully undermined by Ling Xiao.

"Alas, disciple, was this necessary? Now you and Yun Zhong Feng are irreconcilable enemies; he won’t let you off."

Chen Buyi sighed.

"Master, that’s a misguided statement; even without me acting in this way, he would still not spare me. So why not thoroughly trample this scoundrel for some satisfaction?

However, you must warn your adopted children to stay within the Demon Child Hall to cultivate for the time being, go nowhere else.

Even if it means feeling stifled, they must prevent any retaliation from Yun Zhong Feng.

That contemptible rogue dares to do anything."

"Well said."

Chen Buyi nodded.

He understood too, with Ling Xiao’s continual rise, the final moment of tearing off the mask with Yun Zhong Feng neared.

"Alright, congratulations, my disciple, the complete cultivation method for Magic Dragon Possession is all yours!"

Chen Buyi smiled, then informed everyone of this news.

The human heart is such a strange thing; when one is in favor, many are willing to follow, knowing it yields the highest chance of success.

Since Ling Xiao came to the Demon Dragon Sect, repeatedly suppressing Yun Zhong Feng’s faction, many who initially wavered started decisively siding with Chen Buyi.

In fact, this neutral faction held the greatest numbers.

Ling Xiao’s triumphant coup of the Magic Sea Secret Realm trial represented not merely an enhancement in strength or acquisition of cultivation methods.

More importantly, it fostered an intangible "momentum"; and with momentum, comes power.

As everyone was preparing to leave with complex emotions, Chen Buyi did something else surprising.

The Sect Master knew exactly when to strike while the iron was hot.

He publicly announced that Ling Xiao would become his successor, inheriting the position of the Demon Dragon Sect Leader upon his death.

The Demon Dragon Sect was solely created by him, belonging exclusively to him, akin to those kingdoms and empires.

Having a child would naturally mean the Sect Leader position goes to his offspring.

Now, passing the leadership to Ling Xiao was absolutely fitting.

Even if Yun Zhong Feng’s faction were here, they couldn’t stop it.
