32: Becoming the Son

However, Lu Xingchen's "Jade Shatter" talent was too overbearing. After a moment of stalemate, Lu Xingchen's Battle Qi Sword Blade shattered Lin Jing's protective shield and then fiercely crashed into her longsword.

Lin Jing was directly sent flying backward, her longsword falling from her grasp. She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air before falling off the arena.

In an instant, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.

"Damn it, no way? Lu Xingchen won!"

"Lu Xingchen only joined Lingxiao Sect three months ago! A new Disciple actually managed to defeat Senior Sister Lin Jing!"

"Lu Xingchen's talent might not be weaker than Senior Brother Lin Xu's!"

"Lingxiao Sect is about to change."

Looking at Lin Jing, who had fallen to the ground, Hu Junfeng's eyes were filled with disbelief.

A month ago, Lu Xingchen could only barely defeat him when he suppressed his Realm.

Yet now, he had actually defeated Lin Jing, whom even he couldn't defeat.

The title of the Lingxiao Sect's strongest of the younger generation was probably about to change hands!

Xiao Yue stared intently at Lu Xingchen, who stood on the stage, her face turning pale.

The good-for-nothing she once looked down upon had become an existence she could only look up to.

She couldn't stay in Lingxiao Sect any longer.

If Lu Xingchen ever found out that she had sent people to assassinate him, he would probably retaliate fiercely.

While everyone was still in shock, Xiao Yue turned and left the martial arts arena, returning to her room to pack her belongings and escape from Lingxiao Sect.

Yi Hong was also incredibly shocked, staring blankly at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen put away his shadow sword and chuckled, "Peak Master Yi, can you announce the result now?"

Yi Hong finally reacted and shouted loudly, "Lu Xingchen wins!"

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge Lu Xingchen?"

The discussions below the arena never stopped, but no Chief Disciple dared to step forward again.

Are you kidding? Even Hu Junfeng and Lin Jing had lost; who else would dare to go up and ask for a beating?

Five minutes later, no one spoke up.

Yi Hong loudly announced, "I declare that this Lingxiao Sect Saint selection competition is over, and Lu Xingchen is the new generation Saint!"

Warm applause immediately erupted from the audience.

Everyone genuinely admired Lu Xingchen.

He was simply too strong; his strength increased even faster than Senior Brother Lin Xu's.

Yi Hong continued, "Please, all Chief Disciples, prepare yourselves. Three days from now, I will take you to the Chuyuan Secret Realm."

With the Saint selection competition over, the Disciples at the martial arts arena dispersed.

Lu Xingchen ignored those who came to congratulate him and rushed out of the Mountain Gate.

He had already seen Xiao Yue's actions.

If he were Xiao Yue, he would also choose to run away.

And now, it was the best opportunity for revenge.

Lu Xingchen activated his wind spirit boots and searched for Xiao Yue's tracks outside the Mountain Gate.

Half an hour later, he finally found Xiao Yue by following her footprints.

He immediately took out his green haze bow, drew an arrow, and shot it at Xiao Yue.

The sound of breaking wind came, and Xiao Yue felt the danger. She quickly dodged to the side but was still hit in the arm by Lu Xingchen's arrow, letting out a scream.

Lu Xingchen, holding the green haze bow, walked step by step towards Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue did not run because she knew that since Lu Xingchen could catch up, his speed must be faster than hers.

Xiao Yue clutched her right arm, her face pale, and said, "Lu Xingchen, although my Actively cancel the engagement made you lose face, there's no need to kill me, is there?"

Lu Xingchen said coldly, "If it were just that, I would at most teach you a lesson. But you sent people to assassinate me twice. How should we settle this account?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue's heart sank.

Those useless guys actually exposed her!

Xiao Yue immediately knelt before Lu Xingchen, crying, "Lu Xingchen, I'm sorry. I was momentarily possessed and did something wrong to you. For my father's sake, and for the sake of our engagement, can you spare me this once?"

"From now on, I, Xiao Yue, will be your servant. Whatever you ask, I will do!"

Lu Xingchen smiled indifferently, "Alright, I happen to need a maid. Get up!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes.

She was a dignified princess of Dayan Kingdom, yet she was to be a maid for another man! How outrageous!

When she found an opportunity in the future, she would definitely make Lu Xingchen pay the price!

She forced a fawning smile, stood up from the ground, and walked towards Lu Xingchen.

Just then, Lu Xingchen's sword slit her throat, and blood splattered.

Xiao Yue clutched her neck, staring fixedly at Lu Xingchen, her eyes filled with unwillingness, and slowly collapsed.

【Congratulations to the host for killing a Five-Star Martial Master, gaining 15 experience points!】

He and Xiao Yue had already formed a deadly feud; how could he harbor a tiger to cause trouble?

He wasn't a fool.

Only by killing Xiao Yue as quickly as possible was the correct course of action.

After disposing of Xiao Yue's body, Lu Xingchen returned to Lingxiao Sect.

At the door of his room, Lu Xingchen saw Lin Wanqing.

A genuine smile immediately bloomed on his face.

"Miss Wanqing, why are you here?"

Lin Wanqing also showed a brilliant smile, "Of course, I came to congratulate you on becoming the Saint of Lingxiao Sect! I arrived early, but I never saw you."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "I just found an opportunity to get rid of Xiao Yue."

Lu Xingchen had nothing to hide from his woman.

Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then teased, "She was your fiancée. Don't you feel a little bit reluctant?"

Lu Xingchen waved his hands repeatedly, "Enough, I don't feel anything for this fiancée. It's better not to spread this matter; I don't want to damage the relationship between my father and the King."

Lin Wanqing nodded slightly, "Of course. Come on, let's go eat something delicious to celebrate your becoming the Saint and getting your revenge!"

Lu Xingchen laughed, "The Lingxiao Sect's cafeteria isn't as good as my cooking. Let's go have barbecue."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing jumped up happily.

"Yay, yay!"

The two walked out of the Mountain Gate. Lin Wanqing went to hunt a first-order Yao Beast, while Lu Xingchen made a fire and built a grill.

Half an hour later, a rich aroma of roasted meat wafted out.

Lin Wanqing took the roasted meat from Lu Xingchen and took a small bite.

"Big Strong One, you are truly amazing! Five months ago, you couldn't even Cultivate and were tragically rejected from marriage. But now, you've become the Saint of Lingxiao Sect."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It was just luck."

I can't tell you I have a cheat, can I?

"I'm really happy for you, but I'm also a little anxious. Your growth speed is too fast, and I'm gradually falling behind you. I'm afraid that soon, I'll become a stumbling block on your Cultivation path."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly stunned and chuckled awkwardly, "We are already family. I will support you for the rest of your life."

Lin Wanqing shook her head firmly, "I don't want you to support me. I like you, and I won't use your glory to show off. Instead, I want to walk alongside you and share your burdens."
