Chapter 139: The Monstrous Genius, The Bearing of a Sword King, The Southern Genius Battle!

As the words fell, the entire place erupted, stirring up a huge commotion.

Everyone was both excited and thrilled.

After all, no one could have imagined that the final outcome would be like this!

The winner was not Duanmu Longque, but the initially underestimated Meng Changqing.

“Sword intent at this age, truly a heaven-sent genius!”

“So, the real trump card of the Tai Xuan Sect wasn’t Han Luoyu, but Meng Changqing!”

“They’ve hidden him so well!”

“With such a monstrous talent, the future of Tai Xuan Sect is unimaginable!”

“Not just a top-grade sect, it feels like it could become a great sect second only to the holy lands!”

For a time, everyone was talking.

“Our young master won first place!” The members of the Meng family were also overjoyed.

To be honest, like most people, they didn’t have any hope in their hearts. They were just being defiant. However, the young master gave them an unparalleled surprise.

“Where’s the one who said he would crawl out earlier? Come out now!” At this moment, the family members were standing tall, very proud.

Ahem.

Many people quickly turned their heads.

Who would dare to admit it?

“Have you ever heard of the Yunshui Meng family?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.

“No, but judging by the cultivation of these Meng family members, it should just be a small family. Who would have thought they could produce such a terrifying descendant? It’s truly enviable.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a wave of similar emotions.

It seemed they could already see a powerful family rising in the Tianling Prefecture!

“We won!” On the high platform, many disciples were cheering and jumping with joy!

Their faces showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Today was truly full of twists and turns!

Too exciting!

They never expected that Junior Brother Meng, who always had a free pass, was hiding such formidable strength!

Luckily, there was Junior Brother Meng.

Otherwise, the Tai Xuan Sect’s promotion today would have been for naught!

“The winner, Tai Xuan Sect, Meng Changqing!” The voice of the arbiter below came.

“Elder Yuan, aren’t you going to announce it?” Xi Yingqing looked at Yuan Cang, smiling slightly.

“It seems the fortune of Tai Xuan Sect still remains. Even now, such an excellent disciple can appear,” Yuan Cang said softly.

“Thanks to the protection of our ancestors, it’s nothing,” Xi Yingqing said.

“Taixuan Sect meets the conditions and can be promoted to a first-grade sect.” Yuan Cang took a deep breath and said loudly.

His voice was like thunder, resounding between heaven and earth.

As the words fell, cheers suddenly erupted, like waves, continuous and unending, filling every corner of the Tai Xuan Sect.

From now on, within the Tianling Prefecture, there would be no more four-way balance of power, only one dominant force!

That was the Tai Xuan Sect!

Whoosh!

A sword light flew up, landing on the high platform.

It was Meng Changqing.

Everyone’s gaze instantly turned towards him!

“Junior Brother Meng!” For the first time, the eyes of all the prodigies were no longer filled with doubt, but with admiration and reverence!!!

To make prodigies admire was not difficult.

But to make them revere, it required absolute overwhelming strength!

And now in their hearts, Meng Changqing had completely surpassed the level of top prodigies!

He could be referred to by a legendary title!

That was… the world-defying genius!

“Who would have thought that such a small Tianling Prefecture could produce a world-defying genius? Have you thought about coming to my Wanxiang Pavilion?” Yuan Cang looked at Meng Changqing, smiling as he said, “With the bearing of a Sword King, you shouldn’t be buried here.”

No one expected Yuan Cang to directly try to poach him.

“Thank you, Elder, for the invitation, but I’m used to staying here and have no intention of moving.” Meng Changqing did not hesitate.

He was a nostalgic person; once he got used to a place, whether it was strong or weak, he wouldn’t leave easily, unless there was really no other choice.

Hearing Meng Changqing’s unhesitating reply, Xi Yingqing and many peak masters all smiled.

“Heh, young people, not knowing what Wanxiang Pavilion means.” Yuan Cang’s face turned slightly cold, shaking his head.

“Yuan Cang, you talk too much, are you not planning to leave Tianling Prefecture?” Xi Yingqing said.

“Xi Yingqing, you are still so domineering, but what’s the use?” Yuan Cang wanted to say more.

But encountering Xi Yingqing’s increasingly cold eyes, his heart instinctively quivered.

He had to give up.

However, as a high-ranking elder of Wanxiang Pavilion, he couldn’t lose in terms of momentum.

As such, he still maintained a smile.

“By the way, in half a year, there will be the Southern Genius Battle. I hope to see… you then.” Yuan Cang looked at Meng Changqing, speaking softly.

Especially the last word, he emphasized it heavily, as if implying something.

Upon hearing this, Meng Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed that his sect and this Wanxiang Pavilion were not on good terms, possibly having some kind of enmity.

Otherwise, a supposedly ‘neutral’ Wanxiang Pavilion shouldn’t have this attitude.

After speaking, Yuan Cang led the people of Wanxiang Pavilion and turned to leave.

“Tai Xuan Sect!” Duanmu Yang looked at Xi Yingqing with hatred, then at Meng Changqing, and finally sighed deeply before leaving.

After that, the Giant Spirit Sect did the same.

Only the old city lord of Wind and Cloud City bowed to Xi Yingqing.

Although the Nie family had some involvement in this martial arts gathering, given the trend of the times, the Nie family was actually helpless.

From a rational standpoint, it was understandable.

“Sect Leader, Peak Masters, I am honored not to have disgraced you.” Meng Changqing retracted his gaze and cupped his hands slightly.

“Well done!” Mo Shukuang stepped forward, patted Meng Changqing’s shoulder, and laughed.

“To comprehend sword intent at your age really exceeded my expectations. I thought it would at least take the Divine Attainment Realm, After all, our sect’s first leader comprehended it at the Divine Attainment Realm.”

“Now it seems, you are even better than the ancestors,” Xi Yingqing said with a smile.

His words shook everyone.

Such praise, even more so than during the sect master’s hall ceremony!

The first sect leader was the founder of Tai Xuan Sect!

It was said that he was an incredibly talented individual.

The sect leader actually said Meng Changqing was better than the sect’s founder.

Before, they would not have agreed, but now, they genuinely recognized it.

How many people throughout history have comprehended the supreme sword intent at this age?

It could be counted on one hand, right?
