Wang Shuang’s eyes were filled with jealousy.
He had no reason to believe that Master Lingkong would accept such a person whom he had only known for a few days as his personal disciple.
Personal disciple.
That was not a simple word in the Green Dragon sect.
This was because there was a default rule in the Green Dragon sect.
The default rule was that the next sect master of the Green Dragon sect had to be the personal disciple of the previous sect master.
Also, for the past thirty years or so, the sect masters of the Green Dragon sect only had male sect masters.
Therefore, once the sect master accepted a male personal disciple, it meant that this person was very likely to be the next sect master!
After thinking about it, the anger in Wang Shuang’s heart grew even more!
When he looked at Victor again, there was an uncontrollable killing intent!
“Disciples of the various sects…”
At that moment, Master Lingkong started to speak again.
“I heard that some of you are unconvinced by this list.”
“That’s good. As cultivators, you naturally have a hot-blooded desire to not admit defeat.”
“However, at the same time, I also hope that you aren’t just talking nonsense.”
“For the next day, anyone who is unconvinced can challenge the ten people on the list. As long as you guys can defeat the opponents openly on the fighting stage, you can replace those ten people and enter the Heaven Narcissus Lake in their place!”
Master Lingkong’s voice was faintly discernible as it was played around the fighting stage.
When the people below the stage heard it, many of them gradually became excited and was even eager to give it a try. They could not wait to pick the opponents that they fancied and take them on in the second round.
The brand-new news caused many people to ignore the controversy about Victor earlier.
For a moment, the discussion in the arena returned to normal again.
When Master Lingkong saw the scene, he nodded. With a tap of his toes, he disappeared together with the crane.
Ye Lingxuan heaved a long sigh of relief after she saw Grandmaster cleansing Victor’s reputation in front of everyone. Her gaze was filled with joy as she looked at Victor.
The chief disciples of the other three sects were still extremely puzzled about how Victor had mastered their sect’s cultivation technique.
However, when they saw that everyone was no longer discussing the issue, they gave up.
Many people had come running to them without fear of death after Master Lingkong’s announcement.
This caused the four disciples who had not fought for a long time to suddenly have the thought of teaching them a lesson.
Just like that, the second round of the martial arts competition began and continued for an entire day.
However, it was a pity that at the end of the day when the new name list was announced, everyone discovered that it was still the same ten people on the name list.
There was no change at all.
However, this time, no one was unconvinced.
Thus, the list was successfully confirmed.
On the third day, the ten people on the list went to the Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm together.
Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm.
The most mysterious place of the Green Dragon sect.
The mystery was that 99% of the time, the place was shrouded in a cloud of mist.
The cloud of mist contained extremely deep spiritual power, which could isolate the spiritual sense of cultivators and reduce their spiritual power greatly, making it seem as if one was in a quagmire. They were unable to exert any strength at all.
If one stepped into it rashly, they would lose their way completely. Even a core formation realm expert might not be able to come out.
Coincidentally, during the Grandmaster’s birthday every year, the dense cloud that shrouded the Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm would largely dissipate.
This phenomenon would last for about seven or eight days.
This was the reason why it was the best time to enter Heavenly Narcissus Lake this time of the year.
That was why Master Lingkong would combine his birthday with a martial arts competition and face the entire east continent’s sects. It was to choose the individuals who would enter the mystic realm.
Although entering the mystic realm was fraught with dangers, the benefits were huge.
Otherwise, the other sects would not send their disciples to this place every day.
However, this year was different from the previous years. This was the only time that a sect from the Central Plains entered.
There was nothing they could do. The sect from the Central Plains suddenly had a foundation establishment stage powerhouse among the younger generation.
This had never happened in the previous years.
They did not know what they had experienced in the past year.
All of this was told to Victor by Ye Lingxuan.
When Victor heard the information provided by Ye Lingxuan, he became even more curious about the Heavenly Narcissus Lake mystic realm.
He did not know what kind of rare magic treasure that they would encounter there.
“Why did the people of the Central Plains go through so much trouble to come here?”
“What was their purpose for coming here?”
“Did the legendary Heavenly Narcissus Lake water that could revive the Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus really exist?”
Victor was full of anticipation. On the second day, he arrived at the entrance of the mystical realm of the Heavenly Narcissus Lake and stepped in with the other nine people.
At the same time the ten chosen ones entered the mystical realm, somebody knocked on Wang Shuang’s bedroom door over at the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion.
“Who is it?” asked Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, opened his eyes and looked at the door. He frowned.
It was strange. Why did the person not have any aura?
He did not feel anyone approaching his door.
Wang Shuang was confused.
At that moment, a water column slowly rose from a futon beside him and solidified into a human figure.
“Sheungshui sect?”
He looked at the human figure formed by water in front of him on the internet. He could guess the other party’s identity.
“Senior brother Wang Shuang has such keen observation skills. I admire you.”
The water-shaped person covered her mouth and laughed softly. A woman’s voice was heard.
“Who told you to barge into Heavenly Dragon Pavilion without permission? Is this a place where a low-level sect like you can come and go as you please?”
Wang Shuang sneered and stared at her with contempt.
Deep in his heart, he had always looked down on such a small sect.
“Why is Senior Brother Wang Shuang’s temper so bad? Could it be that you’re secretly angry because you’re not destined to be the sect leader of the Green Dragon sect?” said the water-shaped woman casually whilst smiling.
When Wang Shuang heard what she had said, his pupils suddenly constricted. When he looked at the person again, the spiritual energy in his body swelled.
“How dare you talk about our Green Dragon sect again?”
“Haha, Senior Brother Wang, why are you so anxious? Did I hit the nail on the head?”
The woman giggled. After seeing Wang Shuang’s face getting darker and darker, she waved her hand and took out a small bottle from her bosom. She then handed it over to Wang Shuang.
She explained, “Don’t be anxious, Senior Brother Wang. I’m not here to mock you, but to form an alliance with you.”
“This small bottle of dragon-subduing water is a poison specially developed by our Sheung Shui sect. Drop a drop of it onto the sandalwood, and the medicinal properties will spread to a radius of five hundred meters along with the sandalwood scent.”
This was a poison that could counter the Green Dragon Life Form?
Wang Shuang stared at the bottle in his hand with a surprised expression.
“Put this medicine into your Grandmaster’s sandalwood dish. Within twelve hours, his spiritual energy will completely disperse, and he will become an ordinary person. He would not have the strength to even tie a chicken,” said the woman softly.
After hearing her words, a cold glint appeared in the corners of Wang Shuang’s eyes.
“Who gave your Sheung Shui sect the courage to wait for an opportunity to kill my Grandmaster? Do you know that if I hand this bottle of poison to my Grandmaster, your sect will be faced with a disaster of extermination?” asked Wang Shuang.
The woman replied, “But will that benefit you, young master Wang Shuang?”
“Will the next sect of Green Dragon sect be yours because of this?”
“However, if you put this medicine in your Grandmaster’s room, it will be rumored that your Grandmaster has died from cultivation and your Eldest Senior sister isn’t around. With a wave of your arm, the entire Green Dragon sect will be yours!”
“The four sects of the Central Plains will be your strongest allies in the future!”
“Senior Brother Wang Shuang, that is my suggestion…”
“What do you think?”
