"What happened?"
"The Young Master lost? And lost so thoroughly!"
"Too strong, the Young Master was no match at all!"
The audience below were the first to react.
Immediately, heated discussions erupted.
Everyone found it hard to believe the outcome they had witnessed.
Although some of them had guessed that Feng Qingyang might lose, no one had expected him to be defeated so utterly!
One arrow!
After one arrow, the arrogant and mighty Young Master of the Phoenix clan, Feng Qingyang, fell to the ground, completely losing his fighting ability.
What kind of terrifying strength was this?
They couldn't imagine.
They only knew that what Feng Sheng had said was true – that Xu Chuan was not allowed to participate in the selection trials because no one in the younger generation of the entire Phoenix clan, or even the entire Undying Volcano, could defeat him!
"Senior Brother Xu is so strong!"
Outside the arena, Su Miaoyin watched as Xu Chuan defeated Feng Qingyang with an invincible display. Her beautiful eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.
Although she had already guessed that Xu Chuan's strength would be immense, witnessing it firsthand was an indescribable feeling!
While she was happy for Xu Chuan, she also secretly made up her mind.
She must keep pace with Xu Chuan and not be left too far behind!
"This kid's strength is truly formidable!"
"Xuan Sa has truly found a treasure!"
Feng Sheng, watching from the spectator stand, was deeply moved as he witnessed Xu Chuan's arrow.
With such a disciple, how could the Taiyi Holy Land not rise?
How could it not prosper?
On the other side, Feng Hao, hiding in the crowd, cast a deep glance at Xu Chuan.
"It seems I can't let you grow any further!"
"The Phoenix Tomb will be your burial place!"
He whispered softly.
Then he closed his eyes, contemplating his next move.
As for Xu Chuan's strength, he didn't take it seriously.
Although he was strong, he was just that strong!
He was a reborn Emperor Venerable, and his vision was naturally on a different level than these people.
On the surface, his cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Tongtian realm, but the strength he could unleash was unimaginable.
Killing Xu Chuan would be enough!
In his heart, he had already sentenced Xu Chuan to death!
On the other side, Feng Qingyang, sprawled on the ground, was in a daze.
"I lost!?"
"I've completely lost?"
He muttered, still finding it hard to believe.
Clearly, Xu Chuan's cultivation was three minor realms lower than his.
Yet, he had lost.
Suddenly.
He remembered Xu Chuan's words just now.
"Train for a few more years!?"
"Yes!"
"Train for a few more years!"
A faint glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"That's right!"
"My current strength is inferior to his, but that doesn't mean my future strength will be the same!"
"The Clan Leader always said I wasn't his match!"
"I should have listened to the Clan Leader long ago!"
"To receive such high praise from the Clan Leader, it was destined that Xu Chuan was no ordinary person. Losing to him is nothing!"
"As long as I don't give up and strive to catch up, one day, I will have the chance to surpass him!"
Feng Qingyang muttered continuously, his eyes becoming increasingly spirited.
Gradually, he emerged from his previous state of near mental collapse.
People are like this.
If they cannot accept temporary failure, they may very well fall into an abyss without end!
But when hope arises, and they are willing to strive for that hope, they will usher in a new life.
Feng Sheng, seeing Feng Qingyang emerge from the shadow of defeat and regain his spirit, nodded in satisfaction.
If he couldn't even withstand this much of a blow, then he would have truly disappointed him!
Fortunately, Feng Qingyang did not disappoint him.
However, at this moment, Feng Qingyang spoke in front of everyone.
"I have decided!"
At this moment, Feng Qingyang made a decision that went against his ancestors.
His eyes shone with divine light.
"I have decided to follow Xu Chuan, to keep pace with him, until the day I surpass him!"
"When that day comes, I will defeat him in front of the entire world and prove myself!"
In front of Feng Sheng and all the elders and disciples of the Undying Volcano, Feng Qingyang on the arena uttered these two sentences.
As these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
Then, an earth-shattering wave of opposition erupted.
"Impossible! You are the Young Master of our Undying Volcano, how can you follow someone else?"
"Feng Qingyang, you are simply rebellious!"
"What you are doing, where does it place the honor of our Undying Volcano? Have you considered it!"
The elders present were all berating Feng Qingyang, turning him into a scoundrel in their eyes.
However, in the face of these doubts and objections, Feng Qingyang's expression did not change.
His expression was firm, and his decision was unchangeable by anyone.
He walked directly towards Xu Chuan, then, in front of everyone, knelt on one knee and clasped his hands, saying, "Saint Son Xu, please allow me to become your follower!"
Xu Chuan looked at Feng Qingyang before him. The Young Master of the Undying Volcano, at this moment, was willing to become his follower.
Although he had seen the script, he had never expected this to happen to him.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
He turned and met Feng Sheng's gaze, seeking his opinion.
Feng Sheng, at this moment, also wore a troubled expression.
Sometimes, his own Young Master's mind seemed to be completely unyielding, acting without considering the consequences, as if his body refinement had addled his brain.
Just like now, completely disregarding the dignity of the Undying Volcano. A dignified Young Master, the successor of the Undying Volcano, was about to follow someone else.
If this news got out, he didn't know how long other forces would ridicule them.
Instinctively, he was about to refuse and reprimand Feng Qingyang.
But seeing his resolute eyes, the words on Feng Sheng's lips could not be spoken.
After a long stalemate, he sighed, "Fine, do as you wish!"
"However, outside, you must not reveal your identity as the Young Master of the Undying Volcano!"
The reason Feng Sheng changed his mind was twofold.
First, he knew that Feng Qingyang's decisions were unchangeable, even by him.
Second, he saw the potential in Xu Chuan. Such a person was destined to reach the pinnacle and had a high probability of becoming a new generation Emperor Venerable expert on the Xuan Tian Continent!
His judgment of people had always been accurate!
"Holy Lord, no!"
"Yes!"
"Holy Lord, please reconsider!"
The elders beside Feng Sheng still wanted to intervene, speaking out one after another.
"Enough, let Qingyang decide this matter himself!"
Feng Sheng waved his hand, interrupting the elders.
Seeing this, Feng Qingyang turned around, bowed deeply to Feng Sheng, and then said, "Thank you, Clan Leader, for fulfilling my wish!"
From the beginning, he knew that Feng Sheng would not stop him.
