Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 441 Sect Examination!

Long Chen’s expression was calm as he asked flatly, "Did you release that gust of wind just now?"

"Hah! I’d heard you were arrogant, and seeing you today, it’s clearly true." The man sneered. "Kid, let me give you a piece of advice. In front of Panshi, you’d better lower your head. Don’t think you’re so great just because you replaced the Medicine Pavilion. Let me tell you, to Panshi, you’re not even worth a fart!"

"Are you done?" Long Chen glanced at him.

"Kid, if you know what’s good for you, I advise—"

Before the man could finish, Long Chen casually slapped him. The man was sent flying backward, teeth and blood spraying from his mouth as he crumpled to the ground in a wretched state.

Seeing Long Chen dare to make a move, the people from Panshi immediately started cursing. "You bastard!"

"You know who we are, and you still dare to attack us? Are you looking to die?"

"Noisy!" Long Chen snorted. A powerful aura erupted from his body, stunning the men and women from Panshi. It felt as if Mount Tai itself was crashing down upon them.

Before they could even react, an irresistibly powerful force blasted them away.

SPIT! SPIT! SPIT!

They all collapsed to the ground, their faces ashen, each one spitting up a mouthful of blood.

After feeling Long Chen’s power, the group from Panshi was filled with terror. Their eyes widened as they stared at one another, seeing the fear mirrored in each other’s gazes. They never imagined Long Chen’s strength could be so immense; he had defeated them with such ease.

"Get lost!" Long Chen barked.

The Panshi members’ hearts trembled violently. They scrambled up from the ground and fled. As they fled, they shouted parting threats. "Kid, just you wait!

"So reckless! Panshi will not let you get away with this.

"During the disciple assessment in two days, our Panshi will make you pay!"

Long Xin’s brow furrowed. "Those people are too much. Why didn’t you teach them a harsher lesson instead of just letting them go?"

"Don’t worry. They won’t be causing trouble for long." Long Chen smiled faintly, then turned to Long Xin. "The flowers here are ruined. Let’s head back."

Long Xin looked a bit disappointed. "It’s a shame about such beautiful flowers."

「Meanwhile, within Panshi.」

"Why do you all look so pathetic?"

The question came from a young man seated in the main chair. He wore a gray robe, and his gaze was firm and resolute, exuding an immense oppressive aura with just a glance.

He was Shi Tongtian, the leader of Panshi.

"Uh..." The men and women broke out in a cold sweat, unsure how to answer. They silently cursed their rotten luck, never having expected to run into Shi Tongtian the moment they returned.

"Hmph?" Seeing their hesitation, Shi Tongtian shot them a cold glance, and an immense pressure instantly swept over them.

The group was startled. Unable to withstand the pressure, one of them blurted out, "It was Dragon Gate. We ran into that Long Chen today, so we wanted to test his strength and see if the rumors were true. We just didn’t expect..." He trailed off, too embarrassed to continue.

"Dragon Gate?" Shi Tongtian murmured the name. "Lately, Dragon Gate’s reputation has been spreading far and wide within the sect, especially that of Long Chen. His name resounds like thunder now."

"But even so, the members of Panshi are not people they can trifle with!"

"Leader, you weren’t there! You have no idea how arrogant that guy is!" one man exclaimed, his eyes darting. "I told him I was from Panshi, but not only did he show no respect, he even boasted that he looks down on us!"

"Interesting." Shi Tongtian smiled. "I’m rather interested in meeting this Long Chen. I want to see for myself just how capable he is."

After two comfortable days, the sect’s assessment day finally arrived. This was a paramount event for the Jinglei Sect, and every disciple was paying close attention. On this day, the sect’s disciples all gathered in the square.

At that moment, Lei Changshan and Lei Yujing were seated on a high platform with stewards overseeing the proceedings below. This sect assessment was incredibly important, with a very high bar for entry. Only those who received an elder’s approval were qualified to participate. The number of participants was limited to just fifty. The goal of the assessment was to select the top three from these fifty elites, who would join two others to fill the five slots for the Domain Alliance competition.

Even before the participating disciples had entered the field, the square was buzzing with the discussions of the Jinglei Sect members.

"The sect assessment is finally here! So many people want a spot in the Domain Alliance competition. This is going to be spectacular; it’ll be a real feast for the eyes."

"Who do you think will take the top three spots this time?"

"Who else could it be? First place will definitely go to Shi Tongtian of Panshi. He’s Elder Changshan’s Direct Disciple and has been in seclusion for quite some time. Among the younger generation, his strength is second only to the young master."

"And the young master gets to go to the Domain Alliance competition directly, so he doesn’t even need to participate. As for second and third, they’ll be decided between Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan."

"What about Long Chen from Dragon Gate? He’s a newcomer but managed to replace the Medicine Pavilion in no time. His strength is also incredibly formidable."

"As spectators, let’s just sit back and enjoy the show. There’s so much for us to learn."

In the moments that followed, everyone gradually arrived.

"So lively," Tang Le couldn’t help but remark, taking in the scene.

"Of course. All the disciples are present," said Qi Yuanchen. "Personally, I don’t think all the sect’s disciples combined could take on our Faction Leader."

"I agree!" Long Xin said with a smile to Qi Yuanchen. "I like the sound of that. You should say it more often."

"I mean it sincerely," Qi Yuanchen replied earnestly before turning to the other members of Dragon Gate. "Everyone thinks so, right?"

"Yes!" the Dragon Gate members roared in unison, all of them brimming with confidence in Long Chen.

In their hearts, Long Chen’s image had become colossal. They were almost all certain that he would take first place in the sect assessment. After all, they couldn’t recall ever seeing him use his full strength. No one knew just how powerful Long Chen truly was. It was a mystery.

Long Chen was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He had never imagined the members of Dragon Gate would have such faith and trust in him.

Naturally, Dragon Gate’s fervent praise reached the ears of others, instantly drawing scorn and contempt, most vocally from the members of Baiyue Sect and Panshi.

Liang Tianhao and others from Baiyue Sect were the first to speak up. He stared at Long Chen’s group with a grim expression. "You’ve been in the limelight for a little while, and you really think you’re something special?"

Han Zongwei quickly added, "Exactly! Dragon Gate is in for a disaster this time! Our Senior Brother Yang is out of seclusion. Once this assessment is over, he’ll make you pay a hundredfold for our past humiliation!"

Zhang Cangsong stood behind them, a sinister smirk on his face as he watched Long Chen’s group. His victorious posture was a stark contrast to his previous pathetic state.

"I was wondering who was barking like dogs over here. So, it’s you lot," Tang Le sneered. "It seems last time’s lesson wasn’t painful enough to teach you to remember your place. Or did you enjoy it so much you want another taste?"

"HAHA—" Hearing Tang Le’s words, the Dragon Gate members immediately recalled the humiliating state Han Zongwei and Zhang Cangsong had been in, and they burst into laughter.

The faces of everyone from Baiyue Sect instantly turned grim.

Just then, a tall, imposing figure appeared.

The newcomer was Yang Ming, the leader of the Baiyue Sect.

His arrival caused the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

Staring darkly at Long Chen, he first addressed his own men with a sneer, "So these are the ones who were disgraced by *this* guy?" His gaze then snapped back to Long Chen. "You threw my great Baiyue Sect into chaos. You’ve really got some nerve for a little brat!

"I was in seclusion and couldn’t be bothered with sect affairs. But now that I’m out, I will return the humiliation you brought upon Baiyue Sect a hundredfold!"
