Speed Clan.
The Limit Challenge Competition was still underway.
The heated competition was still in progress, with magnificent battles between Soul Masters on stage, and the shouts of encouragement from the Speed Clan Soul Masters below.
Standing in the main seat, observing, was the beautiful Bai Chenxiang, also the Young Sect Master of the Speed Clan.
Bai Chenxiang was a famous beauty far and wide, and she also had a widely known identity: she was Zhuge Lan's wife.
The Soul Masters of the Speed Clan all particularly envied Zhuge Lan for having such a beautiful wife.
Beside her were two Elders, Qianhe and Zhenyi.
These two Elders had not appeared before, and it was said that they were the childhood friends of Sect Master Bai He.
Furthermore, at this time, the Speed Clan had suffered significant damage, and the number of high-ranking Soul Masters within the Sect was scarce, so these two powerful Soul Masters were invited to serve as Elders within the Sect.
Elder Qianhe looked at the slightly troubled Bai Chenxiang, naturally knowing what was bothering her, and offered comfort.
"Young Sect Master, rest assured! Zhuge Lan is exceptionally capable and intelligent; even when facing the Spirit Hall, there won won't be any problems."
Bai Chenxiang nodded perfunctorily; she had great faith in Zhuge Lan's strength, but facing the behemoth that was the Spirit Hall, it was false to say she wasn't worried.
Elder Zhenyi, who was beside her, said with a smile.
"Young Sect Master, I have some good news; would you like to hear it?"
Bai Chenxiang was startled for a moment, then said.
"Then tell me."
Elder Zhenyi nodded and said.
"I received definite news that Zhuge Lan rescued Su Biluo and has left the Spirit Hall."
"Really?"
Bai Chenxiang's face showed delight; this was too good, meaning Zhuge Lan was safe now.
At this moment, she was in the mood to deal with other matters, so she said.
"Elder Zhenyi, how is the spy situation being handled?"
Elder Zhenyi was startled for a moment, then said helplessly.
"Young Sect Master, the Sect Master has sent people to handle this matter and told us not to interfere."
Bai Chenxiang nodded; logically, it was fine for the Sect Master to handle it, but she always felt there was something fishy about the situation.
Meanwhile, on the arena stage.
The two strongest individuals had already been decided: Lu Lingfeng, the top contender in the men's competition, and Pei Xijun, the top contender in the women's competition.
Since the finals were complete, an authority figure was naturally needed to present awards to these two young rising stars.
The two Elders looked at Bai Chenxiang; after all, Elder Bai He had gone to investigate the internal spy matter, and the one who had the final say now was Bai Chenxiang, so such an important matter definitely required Bai Chenxiang to make the decision.
Bai Chenxiang was not in the mood and looked at Elder Zhenyi.
"Elder Zhenyi, please trouble yourself to go."
Elder Zhenyi nodded; after all, he had just arrived and had to work hard, and since the leader had spoken, he had to do things well.
Elder Zhenyi went on stage and looked at the two young talents, a joyful expression on his face.
Lu Lingfeng, he had already heard about his deeds; he had excelled in all three competitions and was a rare talent even across the continent.
Pei Xijun, though a woman, possessed strength that could not be underestimated.
Both of them were the future pillars of the Speed Clan and deserved everyone's praise.
"Lu Lingfeng, Pei Xijun, congratulations to both of you for becoming the champions of our Limit Challenge Competition. As an Elder of the Speed Clan, I represent the hope, future, and glory of the Speed Clan. The future is your era. The Speed Clan is currently in need of talent, and your joining will surely bring the Speed Clan back to its peak. Are you two willing to accept this honor and responsibility?"
"Of course, we are willing. We will not shirk our duty."
Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun exchanged glances, their faces showing joy and honor. They were childhood sweethearts, and winning this Limit Challenge Competition was truly a cause for celebration. They understood the difficulties the Sect was currently facing, and as members of the Speed Clan, they would not shirk their duty.
"What kind of crappy champion?"
A discordant voice came from below the stage.
The voice was so untimely that the Soul Masters of the Speed Clan, who were originally preparing to congratulate Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun, also became enraged.
After all, these were their most promising companions, chosen from among them.
They were unwilling for their companions to be insulted.
So they all started cursing.
"Who, who said that?"
"You motherf*cker."
"Get out here."
Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun's eyes sharpened; who dared to cause trouble at this moment?
They were the champions; who dared to question them?
Lu Lingfeng directly shouted.
"Who, get out!"
A man with Huang Mao on his head, a blade of grass in his mouth, and a slouching demeanor slowly walked out and said disdainfully.
"I said it; you're just a good-for-nothing, Lu Lingfeng."
The audience immediately erupted, almost unanimously cursing.
"What the heck? How dare he curse Lu Lingfeng, our genius of the Speed Clan?"
"He doesn't even look at himself; just because he has some Huang Mao, he thinks he's amazing."
"Exactly, exactly, get him out of here."
Pei Xijun's eyes sharpened, and she took out a long sword from her spirit tool pouch, but Lu Lingfeng stopped her and said.
"Xijun, I'm here."
How could Lu Lingfeng let his woman step forward? His presence was enough.
Elder Zhenyi looked at the Huang Mao who had appeared out of nowhere, feeling extremely uncomfortable. This award ceremony was supposed to be over after the awards were presented, but who was this scoundrel causing trouble at this time?
Seeing it was a young Huang Mao, he felt disgusted and quickly shouted.
"Get out, get out, get out! What business do you have here?"
The Huang Mao chuckled and said.
"Lu Lingfeng, do you have the guts to compete with me? If I can't defeat you in three moves, I'll call you my father, how about that?"
The surrounding audience cursed disdainfully.
"A Huang Mao actually dares to duel Lu Lingfeng; he's really looking for death."
"Lu Lingfeng can take this kid's life with one sword strike."
"Lu Lingfeng, show this ignorant kid your strength."
Lu Lingfeng chuckled disdainfully. He had not won the championship through flashy moves, but through genuine strength. His previous performances had earned everyone's recognition.
Within the Sect, there was no one stronger than him.
How could a Huang Mao dare to speak such arrogant words, even saying he would call him father? Well then! It was a good chance to let him witness his prowess.
"Huang Mao, get on stage."
Pei Xijun, seeing the man she loved being insulted like this, had anger on her face. Since Lu Lingfeng was making a move, he would definitely win, so she whispered in Lu Lingfeng's ear.
"Brother Lingfeng, beat him to death and make him pay for his foul mouth."
"Don't worry, Xijun."
Lu Lingfeng's eyes, as he looked at Pei Xijun, were filled with tenderness.
