Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1901: Chapter 1904: Results Announced: Two Dark Horses

”How presumptuous!”

The fifth disciple of the Zhengyi Sect suddenly erupted, intending to teach Joshua Long a lesson, and Morgan Lawless Heaven did not stop him, letting the fifth disciple attack Joshua Long.

Hong Qi wanted to intervene, but was blocked by the Wine Demon Sword.

”Don’t worry, that boy is stronger than you think.”

Hong Qi was taken aback and remained still.

At this moment, a huge roar rang out from the sky.

The fifth disciple flew in to attack and ended up flying back again.

Only this time he was sent flying away by a punch.

The horrifying sound of the Dragon’s Howl resounded throughout the arena.

Joshua Long looked coldly at the fifth disciple who was on the ground, spitting out blood, and said loudly, ”You really think the martial artists of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire are easily bullied? Useless!”

The dignified fifth disciple of the Zhengyi Sect was actually called useless!

This made the people of the Zhengyi Sect look displeased.

But what could they do? The fifth disciple was no match for Joshua Long. Unless Phoenix Feiye, Wu Lonɡ, Zui Linɡ Lonɡ, or Jun Moqing took action, any move they made would result in humiliation.

”Kid, you’re courting death!”

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch Wu Lonɡ had nearly been killed twice by Ling Xiao and was injured by Leng Mei in the Spatial Rift, forcing him to withdraw midway.

He had long wanted to make a move on the people of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, and seeing Wu Lonɡ injure the fifth disciple, he felt his chance had come.

With a furious roar, he blasted out his palms, and the terrifying shadows enveloped Joshua Long entirely.

”The battle of kings hasn’t even started yet, Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch, are you in such a hurry? How about I give you a match?”

Suddenly appearing between Joshua Long and Wu Lonɡ was Sun Lenɡ Chan.

She had received many benefits from Ling Xiao and entrusted by Ling Xiao to help take care of the martial artists of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

Seeing Wu Lonɡ make a move, she naturally wouldn’t stand idly by.

Hundreds of silver needles radiated peculiar cold light in front of her, startling Wu Lonɡ enough to forcibly halt his palm shadows.

”This woman is no simple matter!”

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Monarch Wu Lonɡ’s expression turned grim. Sun Lenɡ Chan’s display of power seemed no less than that of the Princess Consort.

Has this woman been pretending all along?

”Enough, all of you!”

As Wu Lonɡ found himself in an awkward situation, the voice of Morgan Lawless Heaven rang out again.

”I am the chief referee for the second battle. If I say the results will be announced now, then they will be announced now! If it turns out that Ling Xiao is truly still alive and has achieved a better result, I am willing to publicly apologize to him!”

”A mere apology might not be enough, right? Why not offer something tangible, like ensuring the safe departure of the martial artists from the Heavenly Dynasty Empire from the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts?”

The Wine Demon Sword said with a faint smile.

Morgan Lawless Heaven frowned. He could call Joshua Long an ant or Dan Feng an ant, but he dare not underestimate the Wine Demon Sword.

But how could he agree to this condition?

He knew that after the White Tiger Summit, someone wanted Ling Xiao’s life.

”Don’t dare? Or do you lack confidence in your words? If you lack confidence, just stay there silently. You can announce the results after the treasure hunt is over. It won’t be too late then.”

The Wine Demon Sword’s voice was filled with cold sarcasm.

A person like Morgan Lawless Heaven, with such a domineering name, naturally wouldn’t accept defeat easily.

Being mocked by the Wine Demon Sword, how could he not react?

”Then let’s bet. If Ling Xiao is still alive and ranks in the top three, I swear that anyone who wants to kill him will have to step over my dead body.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven proclaimed loudly.

”Haha, very well, then go ahead and announce the results.”

The Wine Demon Sword chuckled. In reality, announcing the results early or late made no difference to those with truly high scores.

He precisely calculated Morgan Lawless Heaven’s arrogance, thus offering such a condition to gain some advantage.

”The first rank is——Phoenix Feiye!”

”As expected! The number one genius of the Zhengyi Sect lives up to her reputation!”

The audience quickly forgot about Ling Xiao, turning their attention to the result announcements.

Tianai Ba Tu frowned upon hearing this result, feeling discontent at being overshadowed by Phoenix Feiye.

Along with the announcement, the detailed points of the score and the treasures obtained were displayed on the crystal screens around the arena.

This way, everyone had comparisons, which would prevent suspicions of foul play.

”The second rank is——Tianai Ba Tu!”

”The Crown Prince is truly powerful.”

”Indeed, I believe the final battle for the king might be between him and Phoenix Feiye.”

”Hmm.”

”The third rank is——Lei Lie!”

Most of the people guessed correctly; these three were indeed the top three out of the thirteen top talents.

The rankings of the second battle explained the standings.

”The fourth rank is——Sun Lenɡ Chan!”

What!?

It’s her!

That’s indeed a dark horse, an absolute dark horse!

The fourth rank genuinely surprised many; it turned out to be Sun Lenɡ Chan, not one of the thirteen top talents.

”Haha, my daughter did not disappoint me!”

Medicine King Sun Ran stroked his beard, looking very pleased.

Morgan Lawless Heaven also said, ”It seems the dark horse this time is Sun Lenɡ Chan! But I wonder if there are any other dark horses?”

”The fifth rank——”

The announcer suddenly frowned, as if struggling to pronounce the name.

”What’s going on?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven asked harshly.

”Master, something seems amiss.”

The announcer replied.

”What is right or wrong is not for you to decide. The results are compiled by the Xuanwu Divine Hall and the five major forces together. Don’t speak carelessly; there are detailed listings, so how could there be any error?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven said coldly.

”Yes, the fifth rank——Joshua Long!”

Joshua Long!

How could it be him?

Once again, the crowd was stirred into a commotion.

Just after one dark horse appeared, another one emerged.

And this dark horse seemed even more unexpected.

After all, Sun Lenɡ Chan, despite being less prominent, was still the second rank among the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, second only to Tianai Ba Tu.

But this Joshua Long, what’s his story? What did he deserve this for?

Yet, regardless of how many refused to accept or couldn’t understand, the crystal screen’s points were very clear, listing out all the details without any room for doubt.

”Such sheer luck!”

Wu Lonɡ grumbled resentfully.

To be ranked ahead by an unknown figure was something he couldn’t accept.

”Could it be that Joshua Long is actually the strongest in the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, and Ling Xiao was merely a distraction?”

”That’s entirely possible, with Ling Xiao deliberately acting so arrogantly to cover for Joshua Long, isn’t it?”

”I even heard that Joshua Long is a true member of the Dragon Clan.”

People love to find reasons, reasons they can accept. Hence, they naturally assumed Joshua Long was the true strongest of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, while Ling Xiao was merely a decoy.

This allowed them to feel a bit more comfortable inside, making it seem like the more reasonable situation.
