Wang Chen's sword left sparks as he spoke, "Do you know one more thing, Zu Ming?"
Zu Ming replied with annoyance, "What more nonsense do you want to talk about?"
Wang Chen leaned in closer and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who killed your brother?"
Zu Ming froze, his heart pounding in his chest. He didn't say anything in response, but his eyes widened in shock.
A wicked smile crept across Wang Chen's face as he revealed, "I'm the one who killed your brother. He begged for mercy, but I couldn't resist the urge to torture him more."
Zu Ming's guard dropped, his mind racing with anger and disbelief. In that moment, Wang Chen saw his chance and swiftly cut through Zu Ming's blood defense, slicing him across the stomach.
A loud gasp escaped Zu Ming's lips as blood spurted from his mouth. He fell to the ground, his eyes burning with hatred as he glared up at Wang Chen, who stood over him with a triumphant expression. As his consciousness slipped away, Zu Ming knew that he would not rest until he had avenged his brother's death.
As Xue Lan stepped forward to announce the winner of the competition, the audience held its breath in anticipation. The tension was palpable as he spoke, his voice ringing out across the arena.
"Without further ado, I am pleased to announce that the first winner of this year's competition is none other than Wang Chen!"
The crowd erupted into a thunderous roar of applause and excitement, their cheers echoing off the walls of the arena.
"Next, I am proud to announce that the second-place winner of this competition is Zu Ming, and the third-place winner is Su Chen," Xue Lan continued.
But Xue Lan wasn't finished yet. He went on to announce the names of the 17 other contestants who had earned a coveted spot in the Canglian dynasty top sect. The crowd listened intently, eager to hear if their favorites had made the cut.

After the intense competition, Wang Chen and Li Mei returned to their cabin. Li Mei had congratulated Wang Chen earlier and was massaging his shoulders as they walked. Wang Chen was enjoying the massage, but he noticed a sudden change in Li Mei's expression. Her smile faded, and she stopped massaging his shoulders abruptly.
Concerned, Wang Chen turned around and asked her what was wrong. Li Mei looked pale and troubled, and she didn't answer at first. Wang Chen held her hand and shook it gently, trying to bring her back to the present moment.
Finally, Li Mei snapped out of her daze and denied that anything was wrong. But Wang Chen could see that she was still panicking and hiding something.
"Li Mei, I know something is troubling you. Please tell me what's on your mind," Wang Chen said, his voice gentle but firm.
Li Mei hesitated for a moment before blurting out her thoughts. "Young Master Wang Chen, I was thinking about what would happen if you left the sect. I don't want to be separated from you. I want to continue serving you as your maid, even if it means leaving the Red Lotus sect."
"Silly you don't have to say that, I will take you with me to the canglian dynasty as I have already taken permission from the Old man Xue Lan and he agreed saying you can register there as a maid as well." Wang Chen explained.
Hearing Wang Chen's words, Li Mei became happy and directly hugged Wang Chen from behind. She didn't resist showing her emotions.
As Li Mei hugged him, Wang Chen could feel her warmth and happiness. He smiled and turned around to face her.
"Li Mei, you are more than just a maid to me. You are a friend and a companion," Wang Chen said, looking at her with sincerity.
Li Mei's eyes sparkled with joy and she nodded her head, still embracing him. "Thank you, Young Master Wang Chen. I will always serve you loyally," she replied.
Wang Chen gently patted her head and then gently released himself from her embrace. "Let's get some rest now. Tomorrow, we have to prepare for our journey to the Canglian Dynasty," he said with a smile.
Li Mei nodded and left the room, feeling grateful and happy that she would continue to serve Wang Chen as his maid and friend in the new sect.
…
"All of you are gathered here so I guess it's time to go to the canglian dynasty." Xue Lan said as he looked all the winners were gathered there and there was Wang Chen's maid as well.
Xue Lan took out a huge ship from his storage ring.
The ship was unlike any other, it was massive in size and had a golden hue to it, as if it was made of pure gold. The winners of the competition looked in awe as they saw the ship for the first time.
Xue Lan stepped onto the ship and gestured for the winners to follow him. Wang Chen, Su Chen, and Zu Ming were the first to step onto the ship, followed by the other winners.
As they entered the ship, they realized that the inside was even more magnificent than the outside. It was filled with luxurious furnishings and decorations, and there were even small gardens and fountains within.
"This is incredible!" Su Chen exclaimed as he looked around in wonder.
Xue Lan smiled, "This ship was specially made for this occasion. It will take us to the Canglian Dynasty in a matter of hours."
The ship started to move, and the winners could feel the speed and power of the ship as it soared through the air. They all gathered on the deck and looked out at the breathtaking scenery of the sky and clouds passing by.
Xue Lan cleared his throat and spoke in a serious tone as he addressed the group of winners who were gathered in front of him. He emphasized that they would be joining the profound star sect in Canglian dynasty as outer core disciples. However, he made it clear that their previous background or talent would not guarantee their success in this new environment. He warned them against being too proud of their victory in the competition, as they would encounter many talented individuals in the profound star sect. He advised them to work hard and keep a humble attitude in order to succeed in their new surroundings.
The winners listened attentively to Xue Lan's words, realizing the importance of his advice. They understood that the competition they had won was just the beginning of a new journey, and that they would need to work even harder to succeed in the profound star sect. Some of them felt a sense of nervousness and uncertainty, while others felt a renewed sense of determination and excitement.
Xue Lan concluded his speech by reassuring the group that he would support them as much as possible during their journey in the profound star sect.
As the ship flew further into the Canglian dynasty, the scenery outside began to change. The lush green forests and rolling hills of the Red Lotus sect were replaced with towering mountains and deep valleys. The air grew cooler and thinner, and the sky seemed to stretch on endlessly above them.
The people on the ship were all looking outside, taking in the new sights and sounds of this foreign land. Some were whispering excitedly to each other, while others were silent, lost in their own thoughts.
The mountains, covered with dense forests and mist, seemed to stretch on forever. The valleys were deep and shadowy, with rivers and waterfalls flowing through them. Strange creatures could be seen darting through the trees or gliding through the air.
Xue Lan stepped forward and addressed the group once again, "We have entered into the Canglian dynasty, the land of opportunity and challenge. You will find everything you need to grow stronger and become great cultivators here, but remember, the path ahead will not be easy. Stay focused, work hard, and always strive to improve yourselves."
As Xue Lan finished his words, the group looked out of the ship and took in the sight of the vast Canglian dynasty. The land was unlike anything they had seen before, with towering mountains and deep valleys stretching as far as the eye could see. The landscape was filled with all sorts of flora and fauna, some of which were completely unfamiliar to the newcomers.
As the ship descended towards their destination, the group couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. They were about to embark on a new journey, one that would test their limits and push them to become stronger. Some of them felt nervous, while others were more confident, but all shared a sense of determination to make the most of this opportunity.
The ship finally landed in a large courtya
rd, where a group of people dressed in the attire of the Profound Star Sect was waiting for them.
