Wu Chen had used the Thunder Sword to defeat Mo Feng, becoming the ultimate winner and obtaining the Dragon Pearl! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The surrounding families were stunned, looking at the Wu Family with undisguised envy.

Is the Wu Family truly going to rise to prominence this time?

"How could this happen?" The elders of the True Dragon Sect looked utterly grim. Just moments ago, they were vying with the Wu Family for supremacy, but now, they had lost—utterly and completely! The blow was too much for them to bear; they simply couldn’t accept it.

The members of the Wu Family, however, were ecstatic, laughing heartily. Wu Chen had won, and their family was destined to soar to new heights!

Just then, another figure emerged from the Ancient Relic.

Everyone’s gaze snapped over.

"Wu Chen is out!" someone exclaimed, and all eyes turned to him.

With a great clamor, the Wu Family elders rushed over and surrounded him.

"Wu Chen, you’re incredible!"

"Wu Chen, well done!"

"Hmph! Let’s see if the True Dragon Sect dares to be arrogant in front of us again!"

"Wu Chen, you should have seen the True Dragon Sect elder’s face—it turned green! Hahaha, so satisfying."

The elders crowded around Wu Chen, shouting with excitement.

Wu Chen was completely baffled. What is going on? What are these elders talking about?

At that moment, an elder spoke up, "Wu Chen, where is the Dragon Pearl? Quickly, take it out for us to see! I’ve never seen a Dragon Pearl before."

The other elders chimed in, "Yes, the legendary Dragon Pearl! We can finally see it with our own eyes."

The elders were filled with anticipation. Wu Chen, however, was confused.

Dragon Pearl? What Dragon Pearl? Where would I get a Dragon Pearl from?

"Elders, I think you might be mistaken. How could I possibly have a Dragon Pearl?" Wu Chen said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

"What? You don’t have the Dragon Pearl?"

This can’t be. The Wu Family elders were just as confused, their eyes wide.

One elder said, "Wu Chen, stop joking with us."

Another added, "That’s right, Wu Chen! Hurry up and take out the Dragon Pearl so we can feast our eyes on it!"

"I really don’t have a Dragon Pearl," Wu Chen insisted, shaking his head again.

How could this be? The Wu Family elders were dumbfounded and couldn’t accept it.

Could it be that you really didn’t get the Dragon Pearl?

"That’s impossible! You already defeated Mo Feng. You’re the final winner," an elder cried out, his voice growing shrill. "How could you not have the Dragon Pearl?"

This shriek startled everyone. The people from the other families and sects, who had been watching closely, burst into an uproar.

What was happening? Could it be that Wu Chen hadn’t obtained the Dragon Pearl? That seemed impossible. Even Mo Feng had been defeated, so who could possibly be a match for Wu Chen?

Is Wu Chen hiding something? everyone wondered, their faces full of suspicion.

Wu Chen grew even more bewildered. I defeated Mo Feng? Since when?

He managed a bitter smile. "Where did you get this news? Who told you that I defeated Mo Feng?"

The Wu Family was dumbstruck.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

"If you didn’t defeat Mo Feng, then who did?"

"Only you could have defeated him! You’re the only one with the Thunder Sword!"

"Didn’t you use the Thunder Sword to defeat Mo Feng?"

"If even you couldn’t do it, who else possibly could?"

The members of the True Dragon Sect were also stunned. If not Wu Chen, then who?

They glanced at Mo Feng, but he hung his head low, unwilling to speak. After all, defeat was a deeply humiliating affair.

The Wu Family found it even harder to accept. "Impossible! Who else could it have been but you?"

"It really wasn’t me," Wu Chen said. "The one who defeated Mo Feng was Lin Xuan."

What? Lin Xuan!

At the mention of this name, the Wu Family froze. The True Dragon Sect was stunned. The Ye Family was dumbfounded. Everyone was utterly shocked.

They knew of Lin Xuan, the Young Emperor, a prodigy capable of fighting opponents seven cultivation levels above him. His talent was unparalleled, and his future was limitless. Lin Xuan could defeat an ordinary seven-star Grandmaster, but Mo Feng was no ordinary opponent. Mo Feng was a late-stage seven-star Grandmaster who cultivated the Azure Heaven Battle Body; his combat power was top-notch among his peers. No matter how strong Lin Xuan was, they doubted he could possibly defeat him.

No one believed it.

"You all underestimate Lin Xuan," Wu Chen said. "His strength is immense. He didn’t just defeat Mo Feng; he defeated me, too. He defeated everyone. Lin Xuan is the truly invincible one."

What? Lin Xuan defeated everyone! Lin Xuan is invincible!

Is that even true?

Everyone was dumbfounded. The people from the Ye Family were completely lost. Was Lin Xuan truly that heaven-defying? They had no idea.

"Impossible! That’s pure nonsense!" The True Dragon Sect elders shook their heads frantically. If Mo Feng had lost to the Thunder Sword, they could accept it. But to lose to Lin Xuan? What a joke! A mere one-star Grandmaster shattering the Azure Heaven Battle Body? Absolutely impossible.

The Wu Family didn’t believe it either. They thought Wu Chen was spouting nonsense.

"Even you were defeated? How could that be? You have the Thunder Sword. How could you lose to that kid?"

Seeing their disbelief, Wu Chen had no choice but to present the evidence. He took out the Thunder Sword. "It’s because even the Thunder Sword was no match for Lin Xuan," he explained.

The Wu Family elders’ eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Good heavens, what were they seeing!

The Thunder Sword was broken!

How could this be? This was a fourth-tier Treasure Sword, a Grandmaster-level weapon! How could it possibly be broken? The Wu Family elders were on the verge of losing their minds.

The onlookers were equally stunned. The legendary Thunder Sword was broken? It was simply unbelievable.

Who broke it? Was it Lin Xuan? Impossible. How could Lin Xuan break a fourth-tier weapon?

The Ye Family was also bewildered. Madam Ye felt as if she were dreaming. She pinched her cheek and felt a sharp pain. It wasn’t a dream.

What on earth is going on? How could Lin Xuan be so incredibly heaven-defying?

They admitted that Lin Xuan, who could fight opponents seven levels above his own, was already defying the heavens. But no matter how much of a prodigy he was, he couldn’t possibly be *this* powerful. This was a Grandmaster-level weapon! Forget Lin Xuan; even a nine-star Grandmaster shouldn’t be able to break it!

"It’s because Lin Xuan had a weapon that was even stronger," Wu Chen said.

A stronger weapon. Hearing this, everyone froze.

The faces of the Wu Family members changed drastically. The members of the True Dragon Sect drew a sharp, cold breath. As for the others, their scalps tingled with fear.

Could it be the Ancient Tower? they all thought. They knew Lin Xuan had previously used the Ancient Tower to suppress the entire army of the Fang Family. That tower was definitely a Divine Artifact. Could he have brought the Ancient Tower with him? That must be it. Only the Ancient Tower could defeat the Azure Heaven Battle Body, and only the Ancient Tower could break the Thunder Sword.

That tower was simply too heaven-defying. The Fang Family’s massive army, along with their Grandmasters, had been turned to dust. One could only imagine how mighty that tower was. No wonder Lin Xuan could sweep through everyone; he had the Ancient Tower with him all along!

The members of the Ye Family, however, were stunned to hear this. Lin Xuan took the Ancient Tower? How is that possible? The Ancient Tower is clearly still at the Ye Family estate. That tower is the Ye Family’s Trial Tower. It has always stood guard over the family and cannot be moved. No matter how heaven-defying Lin Xuan is, he could not have taken the Ancient Tower with him. Of this, we are absolutely certain. That means Wu Chen is lying. But why? The Ye Family couldn’t understand his motive.

Just then, Wu Chen spoke again. "The weapon in Lin Xuan’s hand wasn’t the Ancient Tower."

What? It wasn’t the Ancient Tower? Everyone was baffled.

They had guessed wrong! But that made no sense. If it wasn’t the Ancient Tower, what could it be? Besides the Ancient Tower, what other weapon could possibly break the Thunder Sword?
