The audience was bustling with noise and excitement.
"Holy sh * t! This Ma Tengyun is way too daring, isn't he? To think that he would actually challenge a Remnant."
"Who knows? Maybe this guy is trying to attract attention."
"Senior Brother Ling Wuzun is a powerful being ranked number 48 on the True Immortal Substitute Roll!"
"Hehe! Out of the ten great Remnants of our Heaven and Earth Sect, nine of them are on the True Immortal Substitute Roll!"
...
"What's your name? To think that you would have the guts to challenge me!" Ling Wuzun descended from the void and stood on the competition platform, looking at Ma Tengyun with a look of disdain.
Ma Tengyun glanced at him, "Only when you can defeat me will you have the qualifications to ask for my name. Otherwise, in my eyes, you're just a disciple that's going to lie down later."
Domineering!
Ma Tengyun's words caused the surrounding disciples to be stunned.
The elders on the platform were also astonished.
The Heaven and Earth Sect was truly the Heaven and Earth Sect indeed! Each and every one of their disciples was more tyrannical than the other! To be able to possess disciples of this caliber, how could the sect not flourish?
"Courting death!" Ling Wuzun was thoroughly enraged right now as he struck out instantly.
Ma Tengyun's eyes flickered with unswerving determination, as if he had already thought of a plan before the fight.
Ma Tengyun's strength was way weaker than Ling Wuzun's. If there were no accidents, the outcome would definitely be Ma Tengyun's loss.
Bang!
Ling Wuzun's palm strike slammed down on Ma Tengyun's body. However, Ma Tengyun did not even bother dodging. With just a backhand slap, he landed a heavy blow on Ling Wuzun's body as well.
This was completely a head-on clash.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Tengyun was like a kite with its string cut. He was sent flying to one side and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Ling Wuzun had not expected that the other party would actually go head-on against him. Even though he was struck by the other party's palm strike, it was nothing much.
Just as Ling Wuzun thought that this was the end, he realized that Ma Tengyun had stood up as though nothing was wrong.
Lin Fan looked at the scene before him and instantly laughed.
That was awesome.
To think that this fella would really rely on popping pills to fight against a Ling Wuzun!
What made Lin Fan even more dumbfounded was that Ma Tengyun had actually started to self-destruct.
This self-destructing thing was a Dao Artifact.
For an Immemorial Ancient state powerful being, the self destruction of a Dao Weapon would not cause much harm to them. But, if it were to self destruct at such a close distance, it would be no laughing matter.
That was a bomb that could kill people.
Furthermore, Ma Tengyun did not self-destruct one at a time. Instead, he self-destructed four to five Dao artefacts at once.
The rich really knew how to play.
And, the final outcome of this was Ling Wuzun being blown up so badly that he spat out fresh blood.
Although Ma Tengyun's injuries were extremely serious, he recovered in an instant. He started to take pills openly.
"Hehe!"
Every time Ma Tengyun popped a pill, he would let out a cold laugh. It was as if he was saying, "This tycoon is going to play you to death."
This scene had already stunned everyone.
This was simply way too fake and tyrannical! This wasn't something that humans could play with at all!
The final result was obvious. Ma Tengyun won.
As for Ling Wuzun, his face was completely dumbfounded. He had not expected that he would lose! He did not know how in the world this fella had done it!
Those dao artifacts exploded as if they didn't cost anything.
Each time they self-destructed, the distance was so close that no one could react to it at all.
As the person-in-charge, Elder Huo did not know what to say when he caught sight of everything before him.
"Inner Sect disciple Ma Tengyun has succeeded in the challenge and has been promoted to a Remnant. The previous Remnant, Ling Wuzun, has been defeated and has become an Inner Sect disciple."
The moment Elder Huo said these words, the entire place was about to explode.
T-this …!
"Reporting to the Grandmaster, reporting to the elders, I do not wish to become a Remnant. This disciple knows that his strength is not as strong as this person's. This disciple wants to prove that even if his strength is not as strong as the other party, he can still take down someone stronger than him." Ma Tengyun stood on the arena and said. He then patted his bum and left.
Just as he was prepared to leap down from the arena, Ma Tengyun took a look at Ling Wuzun, "I've said it before. You have no rights to know my name."
Every single word that Ma Tengyun said was like a slap that slapped onto Ling Wuzun's face.
At this moment, Ling Wuzun was completely stumped. He felt that he might just turn into a joke in the future.
"This fella is so bloody good at putting on an act! He probably knows that even if he were to become a Remnant, he wouldn't be able to hold onto his position." Lin Fan thought in his heart.
The first duel had stirred up the climax.
To think that an Inner Sect disciple would win! This was something that had many of the Inner Sect disciples feeling extremely emotional.
Even though the way that this fella won was a little weird, it was truly tyrannical.
When the Grandmaster of the Heaven and Earth Sect looked at that disciple, he could not help but nod his head. What a character!
Even though the Inner Sect disciples had a good start, for a moment or so, none of the Inner Sect disciples took the initiative to challenge him. Their biggest goal was to fight for the rewards of the Inner Sect Grand Competition.
At this moment, Elder Huo stood there and looked over at the Remnant, Dao Wentian.
Dao Wentian's face was filled with pride as he stood up.
"Reporting to the Grandmaster, even though the Heaven and Earth Sect is one of the nine great orthodox sects right now, this disciple feels that the quality of the new disciples who have joined in the past few years is lacking. Therefore, this disciple would like to challenge Elder Qing Yangzi with the intention of taking on the position of the sect's examination elder." At this moment, Dao Wentian spoke up.
None of them had expected that Dao Wentian would want to challenge Qing Yangzi.
At this moment, Qing Yangzi, who was standing there, was slightly stunned as though he could not believe what was happening.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed. What was the meaning of this?
"Dao Wentian, what do you mean by that?" Qing Yangzi was enraged. Was this fella implying that the disciples that he had chosen for the sect were lacking?
"Nothing much. Elder Qing Yangzi, your eyesight is way too bad. Have you brought in any good seedlings for the sect in the past few years?" Dao Wentian asked.
"The position of the lowest level elder shall be taken up by those who are capable. As a Remnant, I, Dao Wentian, have the capabilities to challenge the elders. Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
Within the Heaven and Earth Sect, disciples could challenge the lowest level elders. However, the prerequisite for that was that their cultivation states had to be at True Immortal state.
Even though this Dao Wentian wasn't at True Immortal state yet, everyone knew that he could enter that state at any moment.
Li Qing, who was at the side, glared at Dao Wentian with an enraged face. To think that Dao Wentian would want to challenge Qing Yangzi!
"Approved." Elder Huo spoke up.
Qing Yangzi's heart was burning with rage as he headed up onto the stage, "You lad! When have this old man not brought in good seedlings for the sect? What right do you have to say that?"
"Yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore. Today, I, Dao Wentian, shall challenge you." Dao Wentian said indifferently.
At this moment, all the disciples were stunned.
They had not expected that so many things would happen in the Grand Competition this time around.
Elder Huo chuckled out in his heart. They had been waiting for this for a long time now. And now, the opportunity had arrived.
However, there were some elders who were of True Immortal state and above who frowned, feeling that this Dao Wentian was going overboard.
As the Elder in charge of the Disciple Invigilation Test, Qing Yangzi had chosen many decent disciples for the sect. But, to think that something as such would happen today!
Even though the sect had such a rule, there were very few people who would take the initiative to challenge him.
"Three moves. Within three moves, I'll defeat you." Dao Wentian glared at Qing Yangzi coldly.
"Lad, don't you get cocky!" Qing Yangzi barked out.
Lin Fan, who was standing below, frowned. This Qing Yangzi was not a match for this Dao Wentian.
"Let the duel begin." Elder Huo spoke up.
"First move."
BAM!
A palm strike slammed down, causing Qing Yangzi to retreat furiously.
"Second move."
A dense amount of power surged out. Even though Qing Yangzi was of the True Immortal state, he was still no match for Dao Wentian.
"Third move."
BAM!
"Elder …!"
A figure was flung out of the sparring arena instantly.
Qing Yangzi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as his eyes shone with an endless amount of wrath.
On the sparring arena, Dao Wentian swept his robes with a haughty expression, "Three moves it is. I won't take any more than that."
Li Qing rushed forth immediately and hugged Qing Yangzi. He then checked on his injuries before raising his head, "Dao Wentian, why did you strike so heavily?"
Li Qing roared out. He had discovered that the Laws of True Immortals of Elder Qing Yangzi had been broken!
"Fists and legs have no eyes. I've already shown him mercy by not taking his life. Qing Yangzi's eyes are cloudy, and he has not produced any disciples with potential for the sect for many years. This has affected the development of the sect, and he has already failed in his duties. If the sect were to have no successor, he would be the greatest sinner. I've already shown him mercy." Dao Wentian said coldly.
Li Qing realized that the Grandmaster was just sitting there without saying anything at all. He was getting anxious, "Grandmaster, Elder Qing Yangzi has been fighting hard for the sect and has put in so much blood and sweat! Dao Wentian is just spouting nonsense!"
"Oh." The Grandmaster spoke up.
Urgh!
Qing Yangzi spat out a mouthful of old blood. To think that the Grandmaster would only reply with a single word!
"Grandmaster! I, Qing Yangzi, have done my best for the sect!" Qing Yangzi bellowed out.
"Elder, stop talking." At this moment, Lin Fan stepped forth and took out the Damage Leaving Pill, wanting to feed it to Qing Yangzi.
However, Qing Yangzi was evidently extremely agitated right now as he grabbed hold of Lin Fan, "I, Qing Yangzi, have done my best for the sect!"
Li Qing looked at Dao Wentian, who was standing on the stage with a haughty look on his face, and his heart was burning with rage.
"Senior Brother Lin, you've got to prove yourself!" Li Qing tugged at Lin Fan with bloodshot eyes.
"Me?" Lin Fan was stunned, not understanding what was going on. What in the world had this got to do with him?
"Senior Brother Lin, you are a paragon that Elder Qing Yangzi has been searching for to bring back to the sect. Elder Qing Yangzi had recommended you for the seat of a Remnant. However, it was taken over by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire that Elder Huo had brought back. Afraid that you would be displeased, Elder Qing Yangzi took out the Contribution Points that he had been saving for his Immortal Tribulation to exchange for the mystic skills and pills that only Remnants should have!"
The moment Lin Fan heard these words, he was taken aback. He hadn't expected that things would turn out as such.
He then took in a deep breath and came beside Qing Yangzi, "Eat the pills. I'll prove the rest to you."
At this moment, Lin Fan walked up the stage slowly.
"Grandmaster, your disciple here is Lin Fan. I am a disciple that Elder Qing Yangzi had brought back."
"Elder Qing Yangzi has been framed by a lad. Your disciple here is indignant. I heard that the number one Remnant of the sect is Dao Wentian. I'm indignant and would like to challenge him."
When Lin Fan said these words, everyone present was stunned.
As for Qing Yangzi, he was even more stunned. He hadn't expected that Lin Fan would want to challenge Dao Wentian! How could he possibly win?
"Approved." The Grandmaster spoke up. From the start to the end, it was as though he only knew how to say some simple words.
However, some of the elders who were seated beside the Grandmaster felt that there was something strange about the Grandmaster. Given the Grandmaster's character, he would definitely stop this. But, just what in the world was going on today?
When the elders took a closer look, they were dumbfounded.
This was such an important day!
To think that the Grandmaster would send over yet another emotionless Puppet Substitute! The only words he knew were, 'Oh, approved', 'Not bad', and 'Approved'.
Did he not know that something big was happening right now?
Qing Yangzi was probably bloody disappointed right now.
At this moment, Lin Fan stretched out his hand and looked at Dao Wentian indifferently.
"One move. If you can still stand, I'll take it as my loss."
BOOM!
Everything exploded out.
Everyone was stumped by those domineering words of his.
As for some of the elders, they were astounded beyond words, feeling that this was inconceivable. Forget it. Since things had come to such an extent, they wouldn't shoulder the blame for this anymore. They would just have to wait for the Grandmaster to return and settle things himself.
"HAHAHA …!" Dao Wentian burst out laughing. He was laughing so hard that his eyes were about to tear up. His face then froze up and was filled with disdain, "With just you?"
All of the Remnants who were seated there burst out laughing as well. The way they looked at Lin Fan was as though they were looking at a fool.
Su Hongchen and the others were even more dumbfounded right now.
Was Junior Brother Lin trying to stir up trouble?
