Chapter 37: Chapter 37
In that instant, Long Xin effortlessly hoisted the seventh Jade Cauldron with just one hand!
"She actually succeeded!" Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
No one expected that, following Long Chen, another mber of the Long Family, Long Xin, would also lift the seventh Jade Cauldron—and with a single hand!
"This..." Long Yu’s face turned ashen. Despite also being a direct descendant of the Long Family, he was the least capable of them all.
Although Long Xin hadn’t supported all seven Jade Cauldrons with a single finger like Long Chen, she was undoubtedly stronger than Su Miaoyu!
For now, at least, Long Xin’s talent surpassed Su Miaoyu’s. After all, Su Miaoyu had clearly struggled to lift the seventh Jade Cauldron.
If the first round of the test were ranked, Long Chen would be the undisputed first, Long Xin second, and Su Miaoyu a distant third. As for Long Yu, he would be at the very bottom.
Su Miaoyu’s face turned livid with sha and anger. Damn it! How could she have such talent? Does she have a special physique too?
She had assud Long Xin’s limit was the sixth Jade Cauldron. Who would have thought she could lift the seventh with just one hand? What Su Miaoyu found most unbearable was the sheer ease with which Long Xin had lifted it.
This undoubtedly ant that Long Xin could advance to the Warlord Realm without any hindrance.
Long Chen was also quite surprised. Sister Xin’s talent is this formidable?
"Hahaha! This is how the children of my Long Family should be!" The head of the Long Family, Long Dou, let out a boisterous laugh that echoed throughout the venue.
As a profound silence fell over the crowd, all eyes instinctively turned toward the Su Family.
The head of the Su Family, Su Feng, wore a frighteningly dark and foreboding expression. The other Su Family mbers were completely silent.
Everyone knew that with talent like theirs, Long Chen and Long Xin were more than qualified to be accepted by Chen Yao and Chu Lingjun into the Human Institute and the Heaven Institute.
"Very good!"
Suddenly, Chu Lingjun extended an invitation. "Are you willing to join the Martial Ancestor Heavenly Court? The sa conditions I offered your brother apply to you."
Long Xin’s face flushed with excitent, not because of Chu Lingjun’s invitation, but because she had successfully lifted the seventh Jade Cauldron.
She had proven to everyone that she was stronger than Su Miaoyu. She hadn’t lost to her; on the contrary, she had won with ease.
"Does that include killing Su Miaoyu and destroying the Su Family?" Long Xin asked as she set down the Jade Cauldron, turning her head to look at Chu Lingjun.
Her words sent Su Miaoyu into a panic, and the faces of the Su Family mbers filled with dread.
When Long Chen had rejected Chu Lingjun’s offer earlier, the Su Family had breathed a collective sigh of relief, feeling secretly fortunate. But now, Long Xin herself had brought up the annihilation of the Su Family and the execution of Su Miaoyu.
"Of course," Chu Lingjun replied succinctly.
In an instant, Su Miaoyu’s heart plumted into an abyss, and the Su Family mbers were overco with despair.
No one present dared to even breathe loudly. After all, in Chu Lingjun’s eyes, annihilating the Su Family and even killing Su Miaoyu, who possessed the Emperor ridians, was a re trifle.
"Sister Xin, it would be a good thing for you to cultivate in the Heaven Institute, but..." Long Chen began, trailing off.
With a smile as bright as a flower, Long Xin interrupted him. "Don’t worry, Brother. I won’t ask Sister Chu to kill anyone for ."
It was obvious she knew that Long Chen wanted to kill Su Miaoyu with his own hands. If soone else were to do it, he would surely be displeased.
Revenge is most satisfying when exacted personally. How could one borrow the hand of another?
Long Xin looked at Chu Lingjun and said, "Sister Chu, I am willing to..."
"Wait," Chen Yao suddenly interrupted. She couldn’t possibly pass up the chance to recruit such a talent.
However, before Chen Yao could extend her invitation, Ling Yan, who was beside her, grabbed her hand and shook her head.
"Steward Chen, I have decided to cultivate in the Heaven Institute. I intend to beco its Junior Institute Master so I can protect my brother!" Long Xin stated bluntly.
Her words left Chen Yao’s beautiful eyes wide with surprise, and the crowd was completely dumbstruck. No one had expected Long Xin to think so far ahead, much less state her intentions so openly.
Even Chu Lingjun was taken aback for a mont.
"Heh, I’m taking you as my junior sister today. I’ll kill anyone who tries to steal you away!" Chu Lingjun laughed.
"Kill anyone who tries to steal her?" Chen Yao’s eyelids twitched.
Ling Yan sent a secret ssage, "Sister Chen, don’t be too greedy. First, you can’t compete with Chu Lingjun. Second, if even Long Xin understands the logic, how can you not? Her joining the Heaven Institute is good for you and the Human Institute as well. You have to realize that whether or not Long Chen kills Su Miaoyu today, the Earth Institute won’t let him off the hook. Having the Heaven Institute share that pressure is the best of both worlds, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Chen Yao, though still unwilling, could only accept this outco in silence. Chu Lingjun’s stance was simply too uncompromising.
What a pity. Such a genius can’t join my Human Institute. Chen Yao sighed inwardly.
At this mont, Su Miaoyu clenched her fists and shouted coldly in defiance, "Don’t you dare get too smug!"
"In the upcoming martial arts duel, I will make sure Long Chen and Long Xin are splattered in their own blood!"
As soon as she spoke, Long Chen’s eyes narrowed, a chilling light flashing within their depths.
"My master is right! No matter how talented you are, you will die here today!" Long Yu sneered nacingly.
The Su Family head, Su Feng, declared coldly, "Throughout the entire younger generation of Dragon City, no one is Miaoyu’s match! The Long Family is dood today!"
"The Long Family will be destroyed!" the Su Family mbers roared in unison.
Shangguan Ming smiled smugly. "Too bad for the Heaven and Human Institutes. Looks like neither will get the disciple they wanted."
