Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 449: Not a Stickler for Details!

"Xin’er!" Long Chen instinctively called out.

Long Xin turned to him. "Brother, I’m fine. I also passed the assessment and secured a spot in the Domain Alliance competition. Let’s just drop this."

Hearing this, Long Chen turned back and shot a cold glance at Lei Changshan. Also considering Lei Yujing’s presence, he did not pursue the matter further and immediately returned to Long Xin’s side.

A smile touched Long Xin’s lips as he approached. "Are you hurt?" she asked, reaching out to gently wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Long Chen shook his head. "Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"I’ll take you back to heal now."

"Okay," Long Xin nodded.

Long Chen picked Long Xin up in his arms and started to walk away. Seeing this, the surrounding disciples subconsciously parted to make way for him, their faces filled with respect. They were all shocked by the power Long Chen had just displayed, never having imagined he could actually exchange a few blows with Lei Changshan. This alone was something none of them could achieve.

Tang Le didn’t leave immediately, instead leaping onto the tournament stage. Now that Long Chen and Long Xin had both secured spots in the Domain Alliance competition, he naturally had to fight for one himself. Otherwise, being left here alone would be an ordeal. Therefore, he had to seize this last spot.

Wang Pingchuan’s gaze was fixed on Long Chen, his expression pensive. After a moment’s hesitation, he hurried after him. Witnessing this, Yang Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he too followed without hesitation.

They were well aware that Tang Le’s abilities were not to be underestimated. Furthermore, his relationship with Long Chen and the others was extraordinary. Having witnessed Long Chen’s terrifying strength, they were determined to avoid any conflict with his people. The potential losses far outweighed any gains.

In the time that followed, Tang Le only needed to display a fraction of his ability to easily secure the final spot. The members of the Dragon Gate were immensely proud. All three spots for the Domain Alliance competition had been claimed by them—an unprecedented achievement.

The outcome of the assessment exceeded everyone’s expectations. None of the predicted candidates had been selected. Instead, all the spots went to new disciples who had only recently joined the Sect. They couldn’t help but marvel at how extraordinary this new batch was.

「Meanwhile.」

Just as Long Chen carried Long Xin back into the Dragon Gate, a figure blocked their path. It was Wang Pingchuan.

Seeing him, Long Chen spoke indifferently, "What? Still not convinced? You want to challenge me?"

These words sent a jolt through Wang Pingchuan. His expression changed dramatically as he hurried to stand before Long Chen.

THUD!

To everyone’s surprise, Wang Pingchuan displayed none of his previous arrogance. Instead, he suddenly knelt before Long Chen.

Long Chen stared at him, asking coolly, "What are you doing?"

"A month ago, I boasted before you and made a bet," Wang Pingchuan said with utmost sincerity. "I originally thought coming out of seclusion would allow me to wash away my previous shame, but now I see how naive I was! In your presence, I am insignificant. I surrender, completely and wholeheartedly! As per our agreement, since I have lost, I will now follow your every command without question."

His words had barely faded when another figure suddenly appeared before Long Chen. It was Yang Ming. Seeing Yang Ming here, Wang Pingchuan was surprised. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a low voice.

In response, however, with a THUD, Yang Ming simply bent his knees and knelt directly before Long Chen.

With a look of equal sincerity, Yang Ming addressed Long Chen, "I, Yang Ming, am also willing to serve you faithfully. You can even have the entire Baiyue Sect at your command..."

"Get lost. I don’t have time for you now." Long Chen spoke indifferently, carrying Long Xin right past them. For him, the only thing that mattered right now was healing Long Xin’s injuries.

Seeing Long Chen’s attitude, both Wang Pingchuan and Yang Ming were left feeling awkward, yet neither dared to utter a word of complaint. After Long Chen left, Wang Pingchuan hesitated for a moment before deciding to remain kneeling. Seeing that Wang Pingchuan was not leaving, Yang Ming did the same.

Wang Pingchuan’s brow furrowed. He looked at Yang Ming, puzzled, and asked sternly, "I’m fulfilling the terms of my bet. What are you doing here, interfering?"

"What I do is none of your concern," Yang Ming replied coldly. "Do you think you can control me?"

Wang Pingchuan’s face hardened. "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming. I’m telling you, you can forget about getting involved. Scram."

"This is my freedom; you have no say in it," Yang Ming retorted.

This Long Chen is an Evil Creature! He’s so young, yet he can already fight Elder Lei Changshan. He must have countless extraordinary Cultivation Techniques and treasures. Given time, once he truly matures, his future will be limitless! If we can latch onto him now, our own futures will be filled with glory and riches. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one you stumble upon by fate, not one you can seek out. We can’t miss this. We have to seize it!

"Shameless!" Wang Pingchuan cursed inwardly.

Yang Ming simply ignored him and continued to kneel outside the Dragon Gate.

"Huh, why are two men kneeling here?"

"They look familiar... Holy crap, isn’t that Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Yang?"

"It really is them! Why are they kneeling here? What’s going on?"

The other disciples were shocked when they saw this. None of them could have imagined that Yang Ming and Wang Pingchuan would be kneeling together outside the Dragon Gate. If they weren’t seeing it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

Faced with so many eyes on them, neither Wang Pingchuan nor Yang Ming cared. They continued to kneel in silence, waiting for Long Chen to emerge. They believed their sincerity could move mountains, and they refused to miss this chance to curry favor with Long Chen. Those destined for great things do not fuss over trivialities, and the two of them embodied this principle completely.
