Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1904: Chapter 1907: Number One!

It was clear that Ling Xiao was still alive, which made Morgan Lawless Heaven somewhat uncomfortable because he had previously made a bet with the Wine Demon Sword. If he lost, he would have to ensure the safety of Ling Xiao and the others.

This was tantamount to being a free bodyguard for someone else.

Of course, he could violate his oath, but the consequences of doing so were unbearable for him.

He naturally harbored some resentment towards Ling Xiao, feeling that Ling Xiao had put him in such an awkward position.

”Announce the results?”

Ling Xiao glanced up at Morgan Lawless Heaven and said, ”Honorable Chief Judge, have you made a mistake? The treasure hunt isn’t over yet, and you’re daring to announce the results?”

”Hmph, even if you’re alive, so what? Can your existence affect the top five rankings?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven snorted coldly.

Despite seeing Ling Xiao alive, he still did not believe that Ling Xiao could change the ranking results.

As for Leng Mei, it was even less likely.

”You are a big figure; every word you say is heard by many. Don’t end up making a fool of yourself.”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

”Presumptuous! Do you think your results are better than Phoenix Feiye and the others?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven had been challenged several times today and was in a bad mood, hence his attitude was extremely tough.

”Whether my results are better than theirs or not, if the Xuanwu Divine Hall can’t even abide by the basic rules, wouldn’t it be ridiculed by everyone under heaven?”

Every word Ling Xiao spoke placed the rules and principles in front of everyone.

Although these things were usually worthless, they were still valuable when many people were present.

”Moreover, what if my result is indeed first place? Would Morgan Lawless Heaven kneel and apologize to me?

If because of you the reputation of the Xuanwu Divine Hall is damaged, how would you make amends?”

Ling Xiao looked at Morgan Lawless Heaven, his attitude cold and arrogant.

Morgan Lawless Heaven instantly exploded with rage: ”Kid, you’re too arrogant. If you really manage to get first place, surpassing Phoenix Feiye, what if I kneel before you?”

”Haha, how dare I deserve that?”

Ling Xiao didn’t actually hesitate to accept it, but he felt that this condition had no real significance.

He smiled and said, ”Once it’s done, as long as the Xuanwu Divine Hall agrees to one condition of mine, that’s enough.”

”You are too conceited! What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with the Xuanwu Divine Hall?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven loudly reprimanded.

”Oh, so that’s it, the Xuanwu Divine Hall disregards the rules and disrupts the White Tiger Summit, and I, a minor character, have no qualifications to negotiate terms. Then there’s nothing to discuss. Once this spreads outside, I’d like to see how the Xuanwu Divine Hall handles it.”

Ling Xiao always believed that while the Xuanwu Divine Hall might be the strongest force on the White Tiger Continent, it certainly couldn’t completely suppress all other forces.

So they also needed to attract talents, at least on the surface, to be fair.

Sure enough, a rift suddenly appeared in the sky, and a man stepped out from inside, his cultivation level comparable to Morgan Lawless Heaven.

”Junior brother, the Sect Master has ordered to agree to Ling Xiao’s condition. After all, you broke the rules first. If Ling Xiao’s results are better than Phoenix Feiye’s, let him make one request, but of course, this condition cannot target the Xuanwu Divine Hall.”

After speaking, the man re-entered the rift and disappeared.

Morgan Lawless Heaven’s face was extremely unsightly, but at this moment, he had no choice but to comply with the Sect Master’s command.

The Sect Master of the Xuanwu Divine Hall was a person of tremendous strength, of which he was well aware.

”Thank you, Xuanwu Divine Hall, for your wise decision.”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, quietly waiting for the announcement of the results.

”That kid really doesn’t know the difference between life and death; if he doesn’t get first place, he may be dismissed as causing trouble and eliminated?”

In the crowd, most looked down on Ling Xiao, thinking he was just taking advantage of the occasion to put on airs.

Since there were only two people’s results, they were quickly tallied and handed over to the announcer.

The person looking at the results had an exceptionally grim expression.

Even more grim than when seeing Joshua Long take fifth place.

Reading it wasn’t right; not reading it wasn’t right either.

”Read it!”

In front of so many people, even Morgan Lawless Heaven dared not do anything. Ultimately, he was just one of the Elders within the Xuanwu Divine Hall’s Thirteen Halls, not a top-tier figure.

He had to listen to the Sect Master’s words.

And below the Sect Master, there were two temple protectors and a Deputy Sect Master, too.

What could he do?

He could only admit defeat.

”There are new results, so the previous rankings have changed!”

Hearing the voice of the divine envoy, the audience was filled with waves of exclamations.

The meaning here was clear, stating plainly that Ling Xiao’s results had changed the rankings.

”First place, hu—!”

The divine envoy let out a deep breath, seeming very tense; this deep breath relieved his anxiety.

”Ling Xiao!”

Hearing this name, Morgan Lawless Heaven suddenly became dazed, looking in disbelief at the unremarkable young man on stage.

This kid was only seventeen; although about to turn eighteen, at this age, he actually took first place in the treasure hunt, simply unimaginable.

Not only was he surprised.

Everyone felt an incredible shock, even including Ling Xiao’s friends.

They knew Ling Xiao might achieve a good result, but they never expected it to be this good, such a surprise.

”Hahahaha, this time Morgan Lawless Heaven really lost face.”

Wine Demon Sword laughed joyfully.

Ling Xiao once again amazed him, exceeding his expectations.

He had once feared his expectations for Ling Xiao were too high, yet now he thought perhaps his expectations for Ling Xiao were too low.

This youth, this frightening young man, was far more formidable than he had imagined.

”Haha, brother, you are too amazing, actually taking first place, really giving us a lot of honor.”

Joshua Long gave Ling Xiao a hard slap on the back, laughing heartily.

”Indeed, it’s too surprising. Although I thought you might become a dark horse, I never expected you’d be even deeper in the shadows than me.”

Sun Leng Chan shook her head with a bitter smile.

Ling Xiao’s results had indeed surprised her.

”A fluke.”

Ling Xiao smiled. He said it was a fluke, but in his heart, he believed it was inevitable.

From the beginning, he made entirely different choices from others.

What’s more, he obtained the only Divine Spiritual Tool from within the Spatial Rift.

If he wasn’t first, who else could be?

But this first place was only for the treasure hunt, not for the White Tiger Summit, so he didn’t get overly excited.

However, at this time, an unpleasant voice rang out.

”What’s there to be happy about, it’s not the first place of the White Tiger Summit.”

The voice came from the Hundred-Eyed Demon King Wu Leonard.

Ling Xiao looked at him with a smile and said, ”Indeed, this is not the first place of the White Tiger Summit, but isn’t it better than some people being knocked out by my little girl?”

He heard about this from Leng Mei; after all, it was just a sentence, easy to mention.
