The competition has ended.?

After this battle, the prestige of the Paragon Saint's faction naturally rose to a whole new level. No one could compare to them.
The other Saints and Saintesses looked solemn. If this continued, the Paragon Saint would become the next Sect Leader.
"I must obtain that item. That way, I'll be able to contend against the Paragon Saint!"
The Tianhong Saint clenched his fists.
"Alright, I hereby announce the end of the Sect Tournament!"
The Kongxuan School's Sect Leader Long Zhoushan's voice reverberated throughout the area. He paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I have another big announcement to make today."
"There's another big announcement?"
Many people were taken aback and revealed curious expressions.
Most of the inner elders were also curious. Obviously, they did not know what Long Zhoushan was going to announce.
"Today, I am going to confer a new Saint!"
Long Zhoushan's voice rang out.
"What? A new Holy Son? "
"The Saint is going to be conferred? This is a big deal. But there hasn't been anyone suitable recently! "
"That's right. The only suitable candidate is the second-in-command of the Paragon Saint's faction. Is he going to be independent?"
Long Zhoushan's words caused an uproar in the crowd. Everyone was guessing who the new Saint would be.
It was not easy to be promoted to a Saint. First, one's cultivation had to be at the Heavenly God Realm. Moreover, the divine force that one could control had to be at least of the Divine Grade.
Only by meeting these two conditions would one be qualified.
Now, there was only one person who met these two conditions. That person was the second-in-command of the Paragon Saint's faction.
This person was also a peerless genius. Back then, he had the chance to be conferred the title of Saint. However, he gave up the title and sided with the Paragon Saint. This had caused a huge uproar back then.
At the scene, the seven Saints and Saintesses narrowed their eyes and frowned.
There was going to be an eighth Saint.
The conferment of a Saint was a big deal. It meant that they would be more competitive. Moreover, every new Saint would have a huge impact on the current situation.
Everyone was guessing who the Holy Son of Dragon Mountain would be. However, they were not confident.
Then, everyone looked at Long Zhoushan, waiting for his answer.
Long Zhoushan stood high up in the air, his eyes scanned the surroundings and finally landed on Lu Ming. He shouted, "The Holy Prince that I want to confer the title of Holy Prince is him, Lu Ming!"
Long Zhoushan pointed at Lu Ming.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lu Ming. Then, the scene fell into a dead silence.
"I … I …"
Lu Ming was also dumbfounded.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the new Holy Son of Dragon Mountain would be him.
Originally, he was just like everyone else, curious to know who this newly conferred Holy Son was. He didn't expect it to be him.
For a moment, he couldn't wrap his head around it.
"Lu Ming, this is the mission I'm giving you. You must accept the position of Holy Son!"
Lu Ming heard the voice of Longzhoushan.
"What the hell is this old man doing?"
Lu Ming finally calmed down, his mind racing.
He didn't think that Long Zhoushan had good intentions. This old man had cast the Nether Dragon Blood Curse in his body. He definitely didn't have good intentions.
"Lu … Ming, you've become a Holy Son!"
"Awesome … Awesome, brother!"
Yue Linglong and Wu Zifeng were also dumbfounded. They couldn't come to their senses for a long time.
"It's him. The Holy Son that the Sect Master wants to confer is him?"
Everyone stared at Lu Ming, dumbfounded.
"The point is, who is he?"
"That's right. I've never seen him before!"
Many people exclaimed.
After all, Lu Ming had only joined the Kongxuan School for a few decades. Many people had been in seclusion for hundreds or thousands of years. Most people had never seen Lu Ming before.
"It's him. I know him. He just joined the school a few decades ago!"
"What? He was conferred the Holy Son when he just joined the school a few decades ago? You must be kidding! "
"Shh, lower your voice. Be careful not to let the Sect Master hear you!"
"But this lad, how is he qualified to be a Holy Son?"
There was an uproar at the scene.
Lu Ming, who had just joined the school a few decades ago, was actually conferred the title of Holy Son. What was going on?
"It's this lad …"
The Tianhong Holy Son, Fukō Seiko, and the rest looked at Lu Ming like swords.
"Sect Master, I don't think this is appropriate!"
At this moment, an elder walked out and cupped his fists at Longzhoushan.
"What's wrong?"
Longzhoushan said lightly.
"Lu Ming has just joined the school a few decades ago. His current cultivation level has only broken through to the True God Realm not long ago. No matter how you look at it, he's not qualified to be conferred the title of Holy Son!"
The elder said.
This elder was an inner sect elder and Ying Cang's master. He belonged to the Tenho Seiko Faction.
Ying Cang, who was ranked fourth on the Empty God List, had been secretly taken in as a disciple by this elder. Later on, he was killed by Lu Ming in the Nether Dragon Secret Territory. Ying Cang had always hated Lu Ming.
Since Longzhoushan wanted to confer the title of Holy Son to Lu Ming, he naturally had to step out to oppose it.
"That's right, Sect Master. This must not be done!"
Following that, a few other inner sect elders stepped out to oppose it.
Obviously, these inner sect elders belonged to the various factions of the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.
"Are you doubting me?"
Longzhoushan said lightly, but there was a terrifying majesty in his voice.
A few inner sect elders jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "We're not doubting you, Sect Master. It's just that the conferment of a Holy Son is a big matter. Sect Master, you must consider it carefully!"
"That's right, Sect Master. The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters are all peerless geniuses. Not everyone is suitable and qualified!"
The Tianhong Holy Son stepped out and bowed to Longzhoushan.
"Tianhong is right. To be a Holy Son, one must first fulfill two conditions. First, one must possess Holy Divine Power. Second, one must be a Heavenly God. This Lu Ming is only a True God. How can he be qualified to be a Holy Son? Sect Master, please retract your decision!"
Fukō Seiko stepped out and cupped her fists.
Longzhoushan furrowed his brows.
The Kongxuan School's Holy Sons and Holy Daughters had a higher status than the inner sect elders.
The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were all peerless geniuses. If there were no accidents, they would enter the God King Realm in the future and become the overlord of a region. Their words carried more weight than the inner sect elders.
Following that, the Holy Son of Zhi Xia, the Holy Son of Yan Kong, and the Holy Daughter of Xuetan all spoke up to persuade Longzhoushan to retract his decision.
Among the seven Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, only two of them remained silent.
One of them was the Paragon Holy Son!
He only looked at Lu Ming curiously. Light flashed in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
As for Ouyang Qingxiang, she naturally would not say anything.
She and Lu Ming were partners. If Lu Ming could become a Holy Son, it would be of great help to her. She even hoped that Lu Ming would become a Holy Son.
