Chapter 2717 - 2720: "Fake" Ling Xiao vs. 13th Prince

"That Thirteenth Prince, ever since he became my disciple, has been diligently practicing, and coupled with his innate talent in some powerful martial skills, he quickly stood out among the junior disciples.

This time, he directly took the first place, advancing to a mid-level disciple without any issues."

The Third Sect Elder said with some pride.

As if mocking Chen Buyi, look at the Deputy Sect Master Yun Zhong Feng's vision, and then look at the disciple you chose, that's the difference.

"Him it is!"

Chen Buyi said with a smile, "Let Ling Xiao fight that Thirteenth Prince, and if Ling Xiao wins, both will advance to mid-level disciples. What do you think?"

"Are you sure?"

The Third Sect Elder laughed and said, "Sect Master, you might want to think this through. Although I am aware of what happened outside Demon Dragon City, that was just because Zhenɡ Quan and Liu Xu underestimated him.

It wasn't because this imposter, ahem, this Ling Xiao is powerful.

What if he gets seriously injured by the Thirteenth Prince?"

"No problem, as long as he doesn't die."

Chen Buyi waved his hand and said, "Our Demon Dragon Sect has always had such rules, without suffering some losses, how can one grow?

If like most of the Royal Family who are sheltered, they would never develop to the point of being able to contend with the Chen Royal Family."

"Alright, since the Sect Master says so, I will carry out your wishes."

The Third Sect Elder was overjoyed.

In fact, the Thirteenth Prince's cultivation level had already broken through to the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Tenth Layer Hell Middle Stage.

He said it was the early stage just to set up Chen Buyi and Ling Xiao.

Chen Buyi agreeing to this duel finally gave him a chance to handle Ling Xiao.

"Brat, daring to make a fool of me, hurting my grandson, today you will surely be embarrassed!"

The Third Sect Elder sneered, then called over the Thirteenth Prince and explained the duel to him.

The Thirteenth Prince was naturally very pleased.

Back in Eight Immortals County City, Ling Xiao had severely embarrassed him.

At that time, almost killed Ling Xiao, but got stopped by his second brother, the Wise and Virtuous King Chen Canglan.

But today, the opportunity has come again.

Even if he can't kill Ling Xiao, he must cripple him.

"Remember, just don't kill him, you can fight however you wish."

The Third Sect Elder reminded quietly.

"Elder Zong, rest assured, I know what to do. If not for you, I might still be trapped in the royal dungeons."

The Thirteenth Prince looked at Ling Xiao, eager for the battle to immediately begin.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, he naturally understood Chen Buyi's intention in making this arrangement.

It was to let him become a mid-level disciple in the most honorable way, so that others would not gossip.

It was also a sign of trust in him.

He could not disappoint his master.

As the rest of the selection concluded, when the Third Sect Elder announced the duel between Ling Xiao and the Thirteenth Prince, the entire venue burst into a frenzy.

The name Ling Xiao had recently become very popular within the Demon Dragon Sect.

He had practically become the idol of all Demon Dragon Sect disciples.

But rumor had it that the disciple taken in by the Sect Master was a namesake of the Ling Xiao who had slain the Purple Thunder General.

This imposter, through the denouncement and embellishment of the Third Sect Elder's henchmen, was quickly becoming a public enemy.

Even the disciples sent by the Sect Master looked down on the so-called imposter Ling Xiao.

Facing those disdainful and hostile gazes, Ling Xiao was quite calm.

These people didn't really despise him; rather, they respected him too much, which led to their aversion to the imposter.

To dispel such a misunderstanding was actually quite simple.

Once he became a high-ranking disciple, everything would become clear.

So he was not worried, nor did he hold a grudge against these people.

The only ones he didn't like were the three elders.

They were already of such a ripe age, and held a high status in the Demon Dragon Sect, yet they lacked any sense of shame.

To deal with a minor like him, they resorted to such a lowly act of defamation.

Truly laughable.

"Hmph, an imposter is just an imposter. On that day outside the city, we lost the advantage because of underestimation, Chen Luan surely helped secretly.

There's no way he could defeat the Thirteenth Prince!"

In the crowd, many mid-level disciples came to watch, though when they arrived was unknown.

Among them were Zhenɡ Quan and Liu Xu, who had been humiliated by Ling Xiao.

The one speaking was Zhenɡ Quan.

Although he had been intimidated by Ling Xiao outside the city that day, his hatred for Ling Xiao had not diminished in the slightest.

After the Third Sect Elder's guidance, he realized it wasn't Ling Xiao being too strong, but his own underestimation.

Losing to the real Ling Xiao might have been acceptable.

But losing to an impostor was indeed a humiliating disgrace.

"Appears handsome enough, but too bad he's too cowardly to even reveal his real name and instead uses Ling Xiao's name. Such a person, just a waste with a flashy facade!"

Liu Xu also sneered coldly.

The girls with him nodded repeatedly.

In the Mysterious World where strength reigns supreme, there.

While good looks can indeed attract attention, the paramount factor is undeniably strength.

Strong men are never short of female admiration.

"Stop hoping, he can't win. The Thirteenth Prince possesses the royal family's ultimate skill, though once an enemy, he is still a noble.

Moreover, his cultivation level far surpasses that of Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao is just a lowly commoner from Yuhua Town, how could he possibly win?

Furthermore, don't forget, the Thirteenth Prince was the top in this round of junior disciple promotions.

Does anyone really think Ling Xiao can surpass all the junior disciples of the Demon Dragon Sect?"

Zhenɡ Quan added another comment, making it sound reasonable.

Many people nodded in agreement.

However, some adoptive sons and daughters of Chen Buyi looked rather uncomfortable.

"I have no idea why our adoptive father places such importance on this person, really hope he doesn't embarrass him.

If he does, we won't be able to stay in the Demon Dragon Sect."

Nearly every adoptive child of Chen Buyi had been bullied by the three elders' disciples.

So, they were really depressed and worried.

They hoped Ling Xiao would win, but had little confidence.

"Relax, he will definitely win."

A voice came from behind them.

When everyone turned around, they found it was their most admired elder brother Chen Luan.

"Big brother!"

"Rest assured, this guy is even stronger than your big brother me, although due to certain reasons, his cultivation level has dropped a lot, but I still trust in his combat skills."

Chen Luan trusted Ling Xiao because he knew he wasn't an imposter, as he had personally witnessed the miracles Ling Xiao had created.

On the Martial Arts Platform, Ling Xiao and the Thirteenth Prince were standing opposite each other, each on their respective sides.

"Didn't expect we'd meet again."

Under the eyes of many, the Thirteenth Prince stomped the heavy handle of his long knife on the platform.

Suddenly, the entire stage seemed to flash with lightning and thunder and shook continuously.

"Indeed, unexpected."

Ling Xiao nodded.

Meeting the Thirteenth Prince here was indeed interesting to him.

It was also quite a surprise.

Surprising that he ended up joining the Demon Dragon Sect, and the prince of the Chen Dynasty did too.
