Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 445: Obtained a Spot!

After dealing with Shi Tongtian, Long Chen turned to the rest and said, "Does anyone else wish to challenge me?"

With this statement, silence once again enveloped the entire venue. People whispered among themselves.

"Holy smokes! Even Brother Shi was defeated with a single punch. Who else would dare to challenge him?"

"Brother Shi is at the War King Realm Ninth Peak. For Long Chen to defeat him so easily means his strength must have already reached the Warlord Realm! Truly terrifying! None of us are his match."

"I’m afraid, among the younger generation, only the young master can defeat him now..."

The people present looked at each other, none daring to step up and fight Long Chen. You’d have to be a fool to not understand the situation.

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of both Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan became extremely solemn. They exchanged a glance, each sensing the shock in the other’s eyes. Long Chen’s strength had completely exceeded their expectations. At this moment, they even felt a little relieved. We were glad we hadn’t made a move against Long Chen earlier. Otherwise, we would be the ones lying on the ground.

Seeing Long Chen acting so arrogantly, Zhang Cangsong couldn’t suppress his anger. He immediately stepped up to Yang Ming and whispered urgently, "Sha Zhu! This guy is too arrogant! If you were to take action, you could certainly beat him until he flees in terror! It’s up to you to reclaim the honor of our Baiyue Sect!"

As he said this, Zhang Cangsong also cast a glance toward Liang Tianhao and Han Zongwei.

Liang Tianhao and Han Zongwei immediately understood and chimed in to Yang Ming, "Yes, Sha Zhu, this guy has caused such a disaster for our Baiyue Sect. We can’t just let him off the hook, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming glanced at them, then said indifferently, "Since you all are so eager to fight for the Baiyue Sect’s honor, why don’t the three of you go up and challenge him together?"

Hearing Yang Ming’s words, the three of them were instantly rendered speechless. He’s so strong, what’s the point of fighting? We certainly don’t want to go up there just to be humiliated.

Yang Ming snorted coldly. Having just witnessed the extent of Long Chen’s strength, how could he be foolish enough to rush in? These people might be brainless, but he isn’t! He saw the situation with perfect clarity!

Just then, Yang Ming noticed Wang Pingchuan’s displeased expression. With a slight curve of his lips, he said to Wang Pingchuan, "I remember, didn’t you have a bet with that guy? Now would be the perfect time to fight for your pride. If you win..."

Before Yang Ming could finish, Wang Pingchuan cut him off sharply. "Thanks, but no thanks! Yang Ming, I know exactly what you’re thinking. Don’t you damn well think you can use me as a pawn. I’m not falling for it."

Yang Ming gave an awkward smile.

Wang Pingchuan, meanwhile, became contemplative, his eyes narrowing slightly as if he had come to a decision.

On the fighting stage, seeing that no one was stepping up, Long Chen grew tired of waiting. He looked up at Lei Yujing and said, "Third Elder, my part in the Sect’s assessment should be considered complete, correct?"

Lei Yujing smiled and nodded, then turned to ask the crowd, "Does anyone else wish to challenge Long Chen?"

Her question was met with only silence.

Seeing no takers, Lei Yujing announced to everyone, "Since no one is stepping onto the stage to challenge Long Chen, I hereby declare that Long Chen has secured a spot to participate in the Domain Alliance competition."

No one dared voice any objections to this decision. After all, Long Chen’s performance had been nothing short of flawless. Everyone was thoroughly convinced. Even if some still harbored resentment, they could only suppress it.

Lei Changshan’s brow was tightly furrowed with inner anger. Yet, he couldn’t openly express his dissatisfaction, lest people accuse him of favoritism. What could he say when his own Direct Disciple had been so soundly defeated by Long Chen?

"Very well." Seeing no objections, Lei Yujing decisively declared, "Then it’s settled!"

With that, Long Chen stepped down from the stage. The members of Dragon Gate erupted in applause and cheers, celebrating his victory. At this moment, they felt exceedingly proud.

The others who witnessed this scene were filled with envy. They had never imagined that the small and recently established Dragon Gate could stir up such massive waves within the Sect. Thinking of this, more and more people developed the desire to join Dragon Gate.

"Brother, well done!" As soon as Long Chen returned to his spot, Long Xin immediately rushed forward and firmly grasped his arm.

"Next, it’s my turn," Long Xin said with a slight smile.

At her words, Long Chen turned his head, looking at her with some surprise. "You’re going up too?"

"Of course." Long Xin nodded. "If you’re going, then I’m going too. I don’t want to be left here all alone. I’d die of boredom."

After speaking, Long Xin turned, and with a single leap, she landed squarely on the stage. She swept her gaze over the crowd below and said in a cold tone, "Whoever wants to challenge me, just bring it on."

Hearing Long Xin’s words, the once-silent venue stirred with restlessness. The people present were once again eager for a fight. After all, Long Xin isn’t Long Chen. For a mere slip of a girl to be so audacious on the stage was just too arrogant.

But then, they all had a second thought. The relationship between Long Xin and Long Chen was clearly not an ordinary one. In the eyes of many, Long Xin was Long Chen’s woman. Just moments ago, Long Chen had taken the stage and utterly crushed Shi Tongtian. The crowd was still shaken by what they had witnessed. Now, with Long Chen’s woman on the stage, they all hesitated. Despite their eagerness, they forcefully held themselves back, all because of Long Chen.

This was especially true for Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan. With Shi Tongtian now unconscious, the two most likely candidates for the remaining spots were Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan. However, they too held themselves back because they did not dare to offend Long Chen. If they laid a hand on Long Xin, it would certainly provoke his wrath. They had no desire to share Shi Tongtian’s fate.

Thus, after Long Xin stood on the stage and issued her challenge, not a single person dared to step forward.

Long Xin lifted her head and looked toward Lei Yujing and Lei Changshan. "Elders, I’ve been standing on this stage for quite a while now, and not one person has come up to fight. Doesn’t that mean I’ve also secured a spot?"

"..."

Lei Yujing looked completely exasperated. Even she had not expected such an outcome. She found herself struggling to answer Long Xin’s question. Long Chen possessed undeniable strength. And while Long Xin’s talent was also impressive, the chosen candidates were to participate in the Domain Alliance Competition. Lei Yujing couldn’t afford to be careless with the selection.

At that moment, Lei Changshan, who was beside her, spoke up in a deep voice, "Of course not!"

As soon as he spoke, all eyes in the venue focused on him. Lei Yujing also turned her head to glance at Lei Changshan, curious to see what he would say next.

"This matter concerns the future of our Jinglei Sect, and we absolutely cannot allow for any carelessness," Lei Changshan addressed the crowd, then turned his gaze to Long Xin. "It’s not that no one wants to compete with you. It’s because of the previous incident and your relationship with Long Chen that no one has taken the stage."

"The Domain Alliance Competition is vital to the future of our Sect. To give you a spot so casually would be highly irresponsible, would it not?"

Long Xin’s fine brows furrowed slightly. She spoke in a firm voice, "Then let them come and compete with me. Regardless of victory or defeat, I, Long Xin, will accept the outcome. I don’t need any handouts."

"Very good." Lei Changshan nodded. "Since no one else will compete with you, I will assess you myself. If you can withstand three of my moves, you pass!"

"Of course, I will not bully you. I will suppress the power of my moves to the War King Realm Ninth Peak."

Upon hearing this, Long Chen frowned slightly, worried for Long Xin. She should just come down. It’s fine if she doesn’t participate in the Domain Alliance Competition.

"Brother, don’t worry." Long Xin gave Long Chen a reassuring smile, then turned back to Lei Changshan and said confidently, "Alright, no problem!"
