156: The game continued, and Lin Xiao remained quiet.

However, just as Huang Dali was in a daze, the voice of the Heavenly Saint King suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Hahahaha, as expected of my Disciple, the Heavenly Saint King."

"To have Cultivated the Heavenly Scripture of Cang Tian to Major Achievement in just a few days, truly a Heaven-Defying Genius."

"How about it, Brother Hollow Spirit, do you concede?"

The Heavenly Saint King laughed heartily, looking at the Hollow Spirit Saint King beside him with a triumphant expression in his eyes.

As soon as these words came out, the entire trial ground immediately erupted into a frenzy.

"What? Heavenly Ancestor, what did he say? He said Young Master Lin Xiao is his Disciple?!"

"No wonder Young Master Lin Xiao is so strong, so there was a reason after all."

"The Disciple of the Heavenly Ancestor? Doesn't that mean Young Master Lin Xiao has the Heavenly Hegemon Body?!"

"Oh my god, it's actually the Heavenly Hegemon Body! No wonder his explosive power is so strong, it's truly enviable."

"Hiss, no wonder Young Master Lin Xiao became an Elder of the Inner Sect Hall of Enforcement before even formally joining the sect; turns out his backing is so strong."

"What Law Enforcement Hall Elder? Brother, tell me more."

...Countless Disciples discussed animatedly, utterly shocked by Lin Xiao's identity.

And Huang Dali's Master, after hearing the Heavenly Saint King's words, couldn't help but smile, accepting his loss.

"Heh heh, I concede, I concede. The Heavenly Hegemon Body, ranked among the top ten of the hundred Physiques, truly lives up to its reputation."

Under such circumstances, even if he didn't want to concede, he couldn't.

After all, his Disciple had been beaten to such a state by someone else.

Moreover, his Disciple was an Ancient Prodigy.

Although he was already very strong, compared to Lin Xiao now, the difference was more than just a little bit.

After thanking Lin Xiao for sparing his life, Huang Dali couldn't help but look at the Hollow Spirit Saint King not far away with guilt.

"Master, I'm sorry, I lost," Huang Dali said somewhat dejectedly.

He couldn't help but recall the scene when he emerged from seclusion, and his Master told him to challenge Lin Xiao.

At that time, he had aggressively declared that he would beat Lin Xiao so badly that even his own father wouldn't recognize him.

But looking at the current situation, it was indeed a bit awkward.

As Huang Dali's words fell, the Disciples in the trial ground once again fell into a heated discussion.

"What? Huang Dali is also a Saint King's Disciple? This..."

"Stone Physique, Savage God Legacy... now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression."

"Hmm? Brother, do you know some inside information? Tell us."

"I think I remember now. If I'm not mistaken, this Huang Dali should be a peerless Prodigy of our Azure Emperor Sect who was Sealed eight thousand years ago."

"Hiss, is that true or false? A Saint King's Disciple plus an Ancient Prodigy identity—this is practically a Heaven-Defying rhythm!"

"It's true, why would I lie to you? This news seems to be recorded in the Scripture Pavilion, in the book 'Past Events of the Azure Emperor Sect'."

"Oh my god, if that's the case, then Young Master Lin Xiao is simply too Heaven-Defying! Even Huang Dali, with his dual identity, is no match for him. This is the rhythm of becoming a Saint Lord realm expert in the future!"

"Saint Lord realm expert, such a distant term..."

They discussed eagerly, and as they talked, they once again turned to Lin Xiao, once again shocked by his talent.

And the Hollow Spirit Saint King, after hearing Huang Dali's words, did not blame him, but just smiled and shook his head.

"Heh heh, it's alright, don't blame yourself. You've already done very well."

"You must know that sometimes people cannot be generalized."

"Although you are a Genius, you are still a little bit behind Lin Xiao, so you still need to work hard!" the Hollow Spirit Saint King said with a smile.

After all, Huang Dali had been invincible for too long a thousand years ago. Now, with Lin Xiao emerging to motivate him, it wasn't bad at all.

"Okay, Master, I understand." Hearing the Hollow Spirit Saint King's words, Huang Dali nodded solemnly.

Then he looked back at where Lin Xiao was, his eyes filled with endless Battle Intent.

"Lin Xiao, if there's a chance in the future, let's fight again!" Huang Dali shouted loudly.

"Alright, you're welcome anytime." Hearing this, Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.

Huang Dali's talent and strength were both quite good.

If he could keep up with his pace in the future, it wouldn't hurt for the two of them to have another good fight.

"Then it's a deal."

Hearing Lin Xiao agree to his request, Huang Dali couldn't help but smile happily, like a simpleton.

"It's a deal," Lin Xiao said.

After speaking, he couldn't help but look at the Heavenly Saint King not far away.

"Disciple greets Master." Lin Xiao cupped his hands and smiled.

"Good, good, good, rise. You performed very well today." Looking at Lin Xiao, the Heavenly Saint King smiled with satisfaction.

He couldn't help but look at the Hollow Spirit Saint King beside him, his eyes full of triumph.

With that look, it was as if he was saying: "How about it? See how amazing my Disciple is? Isn't he much stronger than your useless Disciple?"

After all, for people of the Heavenly Saint King's era, competing themselves was impossible; they could only compete through their Disciples to get their fill.

Whoever's Disciple had stronger talent and higher strength, that person was awesome.

"Heh heh, Master overpraises me, it's just basic operation."

Hearing the Heavenly Saint King's words, Lin Xiao smiled, without the slightest hint of humility.

After all, he had no need to be humble, because he had the strength.

"Hahahaha, you rascal."

"Alright, alright, you all continue the competition. We just came to take a look."

Looking at Lin Xiao's unreserved manner, the Heavenly Saint King laughed again.

As he spoke, he and the Hollow Spirit Saint King and others disappeared.

With the departure of these four giants, the trial ground, which had just been silent, became lively again.

Of course, only other areas were lively.

As for the arena where Lin Xiao was, due to Lin Xiao's earlier display of prowess, it was now deserted.

No one dared to challenge Lin Xiao.

And Lin Xiao, being too bored, could only chat with Li Qingyu beside him.

"Brother Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so secretive. To be the Disciple of the Heavenly Saint King, it's truly enviable," Li Qingyu said, looking at Lin Xiao with admiration.

"Heh heh, it's nothing. Actually, you can do it too," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Looking at the increasingly dense power of Luck on Li Qingyu, he couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.

However, compared to Lin Xiao, Li Qingyu was clearly a bit dejected.

"Me? How is that possible? If a big shot took me as a Disciple, I'd probably wake up laughing in my sleep," Li Qingyu said with a self-deprecating smile.

He knew his own talent best.

Such trashy talent might be decent outside the Azure Emperor Sect.

But in the Azure Emperor Sect, it was absolutely unremarkable. Who in the entire Azure Emperor Sect would be willing to take him, this waste, as a Disciple?

Unless their brains were rusted, that would be about right.

"Is that true or false? Then I look forward to the day you wake up laughing in your sleep," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

He couldn't help but look into the distance, at the Sect Master of the Azure Emperor Sect, who was currently staring intently at Li Qingyu.
