A Troublesome Reward

Roar!

On the martial arts arena, a deafening dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Evil King Flame Kill Black Dragon Wave!"

As Lin Langtian uttered a cold shout, black Demonic Flame raged through the void, and the black dragon, enveloped in the rolling Demonic Flame, soared into the sky and collided with the thousand-foot-tall Yuan Power giant lion above Yuan Cang.

Laugh!

At the moment of impact, there was no earth-shattering sound, because the rolling Demonic Flame on the black dragon's body instantly burned and melted away the vast Yuan power. The Yuan Lion, which originally exuded boundless fierceness, was as fragile as tofu at this moment, collapsing at the slightest touch.

In mid-air, Yuan Cang's eyes momentarily went blank, before turning into a continuous surge of rage and horror.

The black dragon soared upwards on Demonic Flame, piercing the heavens. In just a few breaths, the thousand-foot-tall Yuan Power Lion, which had gathered the strongest power of Yuan Cang and the Spirit Seal, was completely incinerated into nothingness as the black dragon's Demonic Flame swept over it.

The full power of the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame was revealed at this moment!

Even after the Yuan Power Lion dissipated, the Black Dragon did not dissipate. Its indifferent dragon eyes were locked on Yuan Cang. It seemed to possess some kind of special spirituality, so it continued to draw energy from Lin Langtian's body to maintain its own existence.

This is the power of the Demon Seed Power combined with the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame.

So at this moment, the black dragon swung its tail, shattering the void, and then transformed into a black light that shot towards Yuan Cang.

Looking at the approaching black dragon, Yuan Cang felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense that the black dragon was extremely powerful, and if it got close, he would probably have a hard time resisting it. So he retreated without hesitation.

However, as it retreated violently, Yuan Cang seemed to see a hint of mockery flash across the black dragon's eyes.

Then, he saw the black dragon open its mouth full of sharp teeth, and in the next instant, black Demonic Flame spewed out.

At that moment, the Demonic Flame directly burned and melted the space, then turned into countless small black Demonic Flame points, which were so fast that they were impossible to dodge.

So before Yuan Cang could even think of anything, he suddenly felt a stinging sensation in his body.

At the same time, he heard countless horrified cries echoing from all around the square.

So, Yuan Cang slowly lowered his head with some difficulty and saw that black holes had appeared on his body. The holes pierced through many vital parts of his body, and black Demonic Flame remained, frantically eroding and burning his flesh.

Looking at his own miserable state, Yuan Cang's heart seemed to freeze at this moment.

He could clearly feel his life force draining away at an alarming rate.

"Damn it, I... I actually lost?"

Yuan Cang's gaze fell upon the tall and slender young man in the arena, who was quietly staring at him.

"How could this be? I am the leader of the Three Young Kings, how could I lose to a newcomer Spirit General?"

"Damn Lin Langtian, I will never let you get away with this."

Yuan Cang's vision gradually darkened, and his body, amidst countless horrified gazes, plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the shattered plaza.

Thump!

The deep sound echoed, and the entire mountain seemed to fall silent at that moment.

The moment Yuan Cang's body hit the ground, all sounds on the mountain seemed to freeze, and all eyes stared at the scene with a sense of bewilderment.

This outcome was something that no one present, except for Lin Langtian himself, or even Mo Tie and the others, had anticipated.

Yuan Cang, whose strength had reached the Life Profound Stage and who possessed Spirit Seal, actually lost to Lin Langtian, who had just broken through to the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage!

Moreover, it should be noted that just a year ago, Lin Langtian had only just joined the Yuan Sect, and was still considered a new disciple!

In just one year, has Lin Langtian caught up with and surpassed the chasm between the two?

What an extraordinary talent!

At this moment, both those who supported Lin Langtian and those who supported Yuan Cang fell into silence and shock.

"Senior Brother won!"

However, the silence was only brief. The next moment, the silence was suddenly broken, and the supporters of Lin Langtian's faction all shouted excitedly, followed by thunderous cheers that resounded on the mountain peak.

Song Yun, Mo Tie, Liu Yuan, and the others all wore expressions of ecstatic joy.

On the other hand, the Three Young Kings' faction was completely silent.

The cheers here also startled Ling Zhen, Lei Qian and the others from their shock, and their expressions turned extremely gloomy.

Yuan Cang actually failed!

Ling Zhen and Lei Qian exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and horror in each other's eyes.

Yuan Cang's defeat signifies their failure to seize command of the Sect Tournament disciples. So, will they now watch Lin Langtian Lin Langtian over and obey his orders?

How could that be!

Since the founding of the Yuan Sect, the Three Young Kings of all generations have never suffered such humiliation. Making them obey Lin Langtian is worse than killing them!

However, now that Lin Langtian has openly defeated Yuan Cang, the command of the Sect Tournament has mostly fallen into his hands. This also means that Lin Langtian's rise is unstoppable, and even they, as the Three Young Kings, cannot stop this trend.

As for how to rival Lin Langtian in the future...

Thinking of this, Ling Zhen and Lei Qian exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with cold light. Lin Langtian was powerful, so they could only plan ahead.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Fen Cang and the others quickly regained their senses on the high platform.

At this moment, even with their composure, a look of shock couldn't help but appear on their faces.

Yuan Cang, the leader of the Three Young Kings, was actually defeated!

Furthermore, Lin Langtian's killing move just now made even the eight ministers present feel a sense of unease, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

"What an unexpected guy."

Fen Cang narrowed his old eyes slightly, and an unfathomable meaning appeared on his aged face. The strength that Lin Langtian was currently displaying made even him feel a sense of threat.

This kid's growth rate is too astonishing; Fen Cang is already feeling like he can't control him anymore.

Will the Fire Division also undergo a major upheaval in the future?

Immediately afterward, Fen Cang looked at Ren Yuanzi in the central seat. The latter's face remained as calm as a still pool, but if you looked closely, you could still see a flicker in his eyes.

Clearly, the Sect Leader of the Yuan Sect was extremely surprised by this result.

"Announce the results truthfully."

Ren Yuanzi gazed at Lin Langtian, who was enveloped in Demonic Flame. His expression was so calm that no one could fathom what he was thinking. He spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing Ren Yuanzi's words, the Heaven Division Head came to his senses, nodded, stood up, and scanned the entire room.

A deep, resonant voice rang out. "The ultimate winner of this year's Division Trial is Lin Langtian of the Fire Division. As the champion of the Division Trial, he will also have the authority to command the disciples of my Yuan Sect during the Sect Tournament."

The powerful voice of the Heaven Division Head echoed atop the mountain, reaching the ears of everyone present.

As he finished speaking, a thunderous cheer erupted from the mountaintop, and the countless gazes that converged upon him were filled with profound awe.

This battle undoubtedly brought Lin Langtian's reputation to its peak among the younger generation of the Yuan Sect.

call.

Hearing the cheers that filled the mountains and fields, Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief and with a flick of his hand, he put away the Demonic Flame that filled the sky.

At the same time, the terrifying Evil Energy surrounding Lin Langtian was also absorbed into the Demon Seed within his body along with the Demonic Flame, and he returned to his usual state. No one was able to detect anything amiss.

Then he raised his head, looked at the high platform, and laughed.

"Thank you for your Sect Leader and all my fellow disciples."

Although it would be quite exhilarating and prestigious to lead the Yuan Sect disciples in a fierce battle at the Sect Tournament, Lin Langtian knew that with his background in the Yuan Sect, it was impossible for him to command the Eight Divisions as easily as his own limbs. At the very least, the three Yuan Cang would not submit to him.

Fortunately, after gaining command, he no longer has to worry about being used as a pawn by the Three Young Kings.

Seeing Lin Langtian accept the sect's command without hesitation, the head of the Heaven Division Head frowned slightly. It wasn't that he looked down on Lin Langtian, but that although Lin Langtian had defeated Yuan Cang, he was currently the strongest among the Yuan Sect disciples.

However, command and leadership require not only strong strength, but also the credibility to command everyone. Lin Langtian had only been in the Yuan Sect for a year, and apart from having a deep prestige in the Fire Division, he had almost no foundation in the other Seven Divisions.

In the opinion of the Heaven Division Head, the champion of the Division Trial could be given to Lin Langtian, while the command of the sect should be transferred to Yuan Cang.

However, since Lin Langtian had accepted the command of the sect in front of everyone, and Ren Yuanzi had not objected, as the Heaven Division Head, he naturally could not arbitrarily deprive Lin Langtian of his command. He then said.

"Now that you have accepted the command, you must safeguard the interests of my Yuan Sect in the Sect Tournament, and you must not disgrace my Yuan Sect."

"And according to the rules, the final winner of the Division Trial will receive a reward. You should rest for a day or two until you are fully recovered, then go to the Sect Leader to collect your reward."

"There's another reward?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, but a faint sense of rejection welled up inside him.

Last time, Ren Yuanzi gave him a section of the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree Trunk, which greatly helped him in battle. However, Lin Langtian knew that Ren Yuanzi's ill intentions were also involved.

Now that they've rewarded him again, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause this time.

Although he thought this in his heart, Lin Langtian did not show it on his face. Instead, he said with great joy, "Thank you for your guidance Sect Leader!"

After the Heaven Division Head announced the results, the Division Trial finally came to an end.

Ren Yuanzi was the first to stand up. With a flick of his sleeve, an extremely powerful gust of Yuan energy rushed towards the unconscious Yuan Cang below the field.

The Demonic Flame on Yuan Cang's body were extinguished like candles the moment they touched this strong wind, and Yuan Cang's body was also swept away by this force of Yuan energy, leaving along with Ren Yuanzi.

Seeing his Demonic Flame so easily neutralized by Ren Yuanzi, Lin Langtian's heart tightened. He knew that Ren Yuanzi, as Samsara Stage expert, possessed immense strength and was not someone he could challenge at the moment.

Moreover, Ren Yuanzi's actions, it is clear that the Three Young Kings indeed hold an extraordinary position in her heart.

After Ren Yuanzi left, the Eight Division Heads and other high-ranking members of the Yuan Sect also dispersed slowly with extremely complicated feelings.

After all the important figures had left, the disciples of the Eight Divisions looked at Lin Langtian with awe, their eyes still filled with shock...

As for Lin Langtian, after bidding farewell to Song Yun, Mo Tie, and the others, he dragged his tired body back to his residence.

Although he defeated Yuan Cang in this battle, the process was not easy. He needed to recuperate after both the depletion of his Yuan energy and the damage to his physical body.

The grand palace examination that had shaken the entire Yuan Sect finally came to a complete end as the sun set. The numerous Yuan Sect disciples dispersed, carrying with them a lingering sense of awe and unfinished business.

This year's Division Trial was quite unexpected.

As was customary, just when everyone thought Yuan Cang would easily reach the top, Lin Langtian suddenly appeared, defeating Yuan Cang with a fierce and ruthless attitude amidst countless incredulous gazes, becoming the most dazzling protagonist of this year's palace examination.

The series of unexpected events caught everyone off guard and were both shocking. The fierce battle between Lin Langtian and Yuan Cang was both chilling and exhilarating.

That battle will undoubtedly become a classic among all the previous Division Trial.

Lin Langtian ultimately won and also gained command, which led many disciples to speculate whether Lin Langtian could successfully lead the disciples of the Eight Divisions.

Although opinions vary, the fact that the preliminary Division Trial brought Lin Langtian's already soaring reputation to its peak, even showing a tendency to surpass the personal disciples of the Sect Leader, such as the Three Young Kings, is a testament to this.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed since the Division Trial.

Although two days have passed, the exciting battles from the Division Trial are still being recounted tirelessly within the Yuan Sect, and the fiery enthusiasm has clearly not completely subsided.

In the past two days, Lin Langtian's injuries have been completely healed.

Although the battle was extremely taxing, fortunately, it did not damage his internal organs. Thanks to Lin Langtian's powerful physique, his injuries were almost completely healed in just two days, and he was no longer in any serious condition.

During the two days that Lin Langtian was recuperating, the Fire Division was still in an extremely heated state, with many disciples walking with their heads held high and chests out.

As members of Lin Langtian's faction, their leader not only won the championship but also gained command of the Sect Tournament, so it is understandable that they would be so proud.

However, while they were feeling smug, Lin Langtian was starting to have a headache.

Today is the day he goes to the Sect Leader to collect his reward...
