The Clown Was Me!

The outcome of this contest was clear!

Zhao Gongming was like a jumping clown, and a sore loser at that.

In contrast, Lin Chuan remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

Although he was a bit arrogant.

But the strength he displayed had indeed earned everyone's approval, and with this display, many outer disciples were looking at him with admiration.

Zhao Gongming's strength was not weak!

Especially under the current bombardment, his magical treasures had been used to their limit.

Yet, they hadn't harmed him one bit!

This...

was indeed a bit outrageous.

"Heavens!"

"Zhao Gongming is like a baby with a big cleaver in front of him, completely lacking any destructive power."

"One is like an adult, the other is just a baby with a big cleaver..."

"The gap is so obvious!"

"When did he gain such strength!"

The disciples of the Sect of Interception were in an uproar.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it. Seeing this scene, their understanding was completely reset.

They even couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder he became a personal disciple. He truly has extraordinary qualities. If he didn't possess such strength, how could the Master make him a personal disciple?"

"Indeed... the Master would never appoint someone arbitrarily!"

"Since he has been promoted to personal disciple, there must be a reason. He directly soared from outer disciple to personal disciple."

"Perhaps the Master saw his unparalleled strength and unimaginable talent!"

All sorts of speculations arose.

Seeing the strength Lin Chuan displayed, he had indeed conquered many outer disciples.

They no longer seemed so resistant.

Especially when you compare, you realize the difference.

The disciples all knew Zhao Gongming's strength well. Being outer disciples themselves, they had sparred with him more or less.

Even if they hadn't sparred, they had seen Zhao Gongming fight, and they knew his capabilities clearly. Yet, Zhao Gongming in Lin Chuan's hands seemed to be toyed with as he pleased.

This kind of contest...

was self-evident!

The outcome was clear!

"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't do anything to me."

"This makes me very helpless!"

"Since that's the case, then this contest should be over, right?"

A hint of helplessness appeared on Lin Chuan's face. The last sentence was directed at Duobao Tathagata.

After all, Duobao was the referee.

Once the winner was decided, it naturally fell to the referee to make the judgment.

However, seeing Lin Chuan's performance, although the disciples of the Sect of Interception felt it was only natural, a certain annoying feeling arose within them.

It left them speechless!

For a moment, they felt like beating him up.

"Heavens!"

"I feel like he's so punchable. Every word he says is factually correct, but every time he speaks, it feels provocative."

"Am I hallucinating?"

"No, no, no..."

"We all feel the same way."

"This guy is definitely too annoying!"

Another commotion. At this moment, everyone felt a sense of annoyance, and for some reason, they even felt a bit of sympathy for Zhao Gongming.

Even as spectators in the audience, they could feel Lin Chuan's incredibly punchable aura.

Let alone on the stage!

Wouldn't Zhao Gongming be driven mad this time?

He found losing unbearable enough.

But...

Whenever Lin Chuan spoke, it felt like a provocation.

Of course, everyone present firmly believed it wasn't intentional provocation, but his words carried that provocative tone.

This left everyone speechless.

Duobao felt the same way.

Even though he was a neutral party and the referee of this match, for some reason, he felt like jumping into the fray himself for a physical brawl.

However, he quickly suppressed that thought.

His gaze shifted to Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming's unyielding will had been shattered into pieces.

He desperately wanted to roar again...

But he had already shown his full strength and couldn't do anything to his opponent, who hadn't even made a move the entire time.

He was just slacking off!

This was a concession, and his loss was not unjust!

Zhao Gongming let out a tragic laugh, "I never imagined the clown would be me!"

For some reason, everyone felt a sense of empathy.

Especially the many people present who were also outer disciples.

A sense of resonance stirred within them at that moment.

However, they also knew clearly that this was entirely due to Lin Chuan's own abilities.

Lin Chuan possessed his own capabilities, which was why he could become a personal disciple. This was an undeniable fact, especially after this match.

It confirmed this fact without a doubt!

Zhao Gongming took out the twenty-four Sea Calming Divine Pearls.

This shocked everyone!

What?

Could it be that Zhao Gongming hadn't conceded yet? Did he still want to continue?

Even Duobao was startled by this.

But then Zhao Gongming spoke, "I apologize for my offense. After all, so many people have remained as outer disciples for so long. Senior Brother didn't reveal his true strength initially."

"He kept a low profile, making it impossible for anyone to know your strength."

"This led to this misunderstanding. I offer my apologies, and this treasure is a token of my regret."

"I hope Senior Brother will accept it!"

Zhao Gongming's expression was exceptionally sincere. No matter how frantic he had been before, it was only out of anger at his own inadequacy.

Now that the situation was clear, he wouldn't be so stubborn.

He felt it was unreasonable and he was in the wrong. If he didn't offer some form of compensation, they might end up with enmity.

To make an enemy of such a powerful individual.

And a personal disciple at that, would be utterly foolish.

Therefore.

Zhao Gongming unhesitatingly offered his treasure as an apology.

Duobao nodded silently, commending his actions. This move could indeed salvage a significant amount of face.

As for the many outer disciples present, they were also stunned by this scene.

They knew that the treasure in Zhao Gongming's hand was incredibly powerful. If it were in the hands of a cultivator like July, their strength would increase by at least twenty percent.

This showed how astonishing the treasure was.

Yet, he just gave it away!

It was unexpected, even hard to believe!

Given their status and strength, such treasures were rare. Having even one or two of them already indicated incredible luck!

To obtain another would be extremely difficult!
