Invitation to Challenge Yin Changkong

"I say, Yin Changkong, what else do you have to say now?"

Jun Buhui's face was full of amusement; he knew before the meeting that Lin Xiao had met the conditions to leave the battlefield, and deliberately didn't say anything just to make the other party look foolish.

And Yin Changkong truly found himself in an awkward position.

Being so disregarded by a junior, as a Martial Saint, he was so angry his nose was almost crooked.

"That's still no reason for you to be here!"

"I told him to come!"

Suddenly,

The Chief Elder, sitting at the head, spoke. As he opened his mouth, everyone present looked over.

He pointed at Lin Xiao with his hand.

"Besides discussing the Demon Race's declaration of war, there's another matter I need to inform everyone about at this meeting."

The Chief Elder deliberately emphasized the word "inform."

"I have decided to appoint Lin Xiao as the Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country!"

As soon as these words were uttered, all the Martial Saints present, except for Jun Buhui, instantly stood up.

"No!"

"This is too absurd. How can the position of Son of Heaven be treated so lightly!"

"I admit Lin Xiao's strength is not weak, and his talent is peerless, but the matter of the Son of Heaven still needs further discussion."

Every Martial Saint voiced their opposition, and Yin Changkong vehemently tried to stop it.

The Son of Heaven

is the most special and revered position in the Dragon Country, possessing supreme authority and the ability to mobilize all resources except for Martial Saints.

It could be said that he stands at the pinnacle of power in the Dragon Country, equal in status to these Martial Saints.

Now, a young man who has just started out, even if he has just achieved unparalleled merit,

should not receive such treatment!

"Lin Xiao's strength and talent are indeed the greatest in the history of the Dragon Country, and the matter of the Son of Heaven is not impossible, but it is a bit too hasty now. It would be more appropriate to wait for some time until everything falls into place naturally."

Qin Xiao said.

As a group of beings standing at the pinnacle of the Dragon Country, a young man suddenly becoming their equal made them somewhat resentful.

The Chief Elder had long anticipated the reaction of these people.

It was at this moment that an old man appeared.

He sat quietly to the side, not saying a word.

"Lin Yaotian, you actually came too?"

Old Ou looked at the suddenly appearing old man. He had always disdained such meetings and was never seen participating. She never expected him to show up this time.

And the Martial Saints present were not fools; they all understood the meaning behind this.

Lin Yaotian's strength was the strongest among them.

As soon as he appeared, even Yin Changkong, who had been the most vocal, closed his mouth and silently sat back in his seat.

Ultimately, strength is respected.

Lin Xiao sat on the side, watching the entire scene.

He had come to understand.

These individuals, the strongest in the Dragon Country, who stood at the pinnacle of both power and authority in the Dragon Country,

looked down on him primarily because they felt he was unworthy of the position, and his strength was insufficient to be their equal!

This so-called Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country, Lin Xiao didn't want it at all.

Moreover, his teacher hadn't mentioned this matter when he called him here beforehand. Did they really think Lin Xiao cared?

"I still say the same thing: Lin Xiao's talent and ability are worthy of the position of Son of Heaven, but it's too soon!"

Qin Xiao still stuck to his opinion.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yaotian lightly glanced at him. That silent, oppressive feeling made even Qin Xiao, a Martial Saint, uncomfortable.

Among the Martial Saints present, most were in the Early Stage of the ninth-rank, while Jun Buhui was in the Middle Stage of the ninth-rank.

Only Lin Yaotian was a peerless Martial Saint at the Peak of the Late Stage of the ninth-rank.

This was also the fundamental reason why he could single-handedly kill a Demon Race Martial Saint.

Martial Saint Experts comprehend the Laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Defeating them is not difficult, but killing them is as hard as ascending to the heavens.

And Lin Yaotian's talent was Time and Space!

Having comprehended the Great Dao of Time and Space, his strength was terrifying to an extreme!

"Teacher's strength is indeed very powerful!"

Lin Xiao watched silently. He had also felt that invisible pressure just now.

Even though his Physical Body had become Saintly, he still felt uneasy all over. Was this his teacher's strength?

"This matter is settled!"

The Chief Elder made the final decision directly. This matter was originally an announcement, not a discussion.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied, shifting between pleasant and unpleasant.

Yin Changkong was even more depressed, as if he had eaten dirt. The person he had looked down upon a second ago instantly became his equal. How could he tolerate that?

"Next, regarding the Demon Race's declaration of war..."

The Demon Race's declaration of war involved a racial conflict and could not be treated lightly.

Even if the Martial Saints present had their own agendas and disagreements, in the face of such a racial struggle, they still understood right from wrong.

Of course, part of the reason was also because Lin Yaotian was present.

"Since things have come to this, then let's fight!"

Old Ou spoke first.

"Although the Demon Race is strong, our Dragon Country is not a pushover. This battle, sweeping across all races, cannot be avoided. Then let's fight our way to a bright future!"

"Exactly, do they really think we're afraid of them?"

"Who will lead this battle?"

"How about we let Lin Xiao lead? As the Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country, no one is more suitable than him!"

Yin Changkong suddenly said.

The other Martial Saints nodded upon hearing this; it wasn't impossible!

The Chief Elder naturally heard the hidden meaning in Yin Changkong's words, but he still looked at Lin Xiao and softly asked,

"Lin Xiao, what do you think?"

If Lin Xiao was unwilling, he would naturally find someone else.

He had promised back then that after his return from the Eternal Tribulation, no one in the Dragon Country would be able to sway his thoughts.

The Son of Heaven of the Dragon Country was the first chip he offered. When the time was ripe, Lin Xiao would be the Heaven of the Dragon Country!

Lin Xiao lowered his head and fell silent for a moment.

To be honest,

he didn't want this so-called Son of Heaven.

However, leading the army wasn't impossible. Killing the Demon Race and earning Cultivation points was something he was quite enthusiastic about.

But, being forced into it like this made him very displeased.

He looked up at Yin Changkong.

"It's not impossible for me to lead, but I have one condition!"

"What condition?"

The Chief Elder quietly awaited Lin Xiao's next words.

Yin Changkong looked at Lin Xiao, this scoundrel who had made him lose face countless times. What trick was he trying to pull now?

Lin Xiao looked at Yin Changkong and spoke, word by word, words that made him somewhat incredulous.

"My condition is to fight with this Martial Saint Yin Changkong here, with no regard for life or death!"

As soon as these words came out, Yin Changkong for a moment thought he was hallucinating.

He dug at his ears and looked at Lin Xiao's face with extreme bewilderment, pointing at himself.

"What did you just say? You want to fight me? And with no regard for life or death?"

"That's right!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

The other Martial Saints present all fell silent. They also felt that Lin Xiao had gone a bit mad.

They had observed the great battle against the Demon Race a few days ago and knew that Lin Xiao's strength was far beyond what he had shown.

But that wasn't enough to give him the confidence to challenge a Martial Saint!

"Heh... hehehe... hahahaha."

Yin Changkong was so enraged by Lin Xiao's words that he laughed.

"Withdraw what you just said and apologize to me, and I can pretend it never happened!"

If he weren't wary of Lin Yaotian, Yin Changkong might have already made a move!

This damned fellow, how dare he!!!
