Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1104 Yang Qi King's Result

"You'll quit being a dual cultivator if I become the Yang Qi King? That's a bold statement. Are you willing to swear a heaven's oath, or are you just barking?" A calm voice suddenly resounded, calling out the Inner Court disciple who'd just spoken.

Everyone there turned to look at the source of the voice and saw Su Yang casually approaching them with a beauty walking by his side.

"It's Disciple Xiao and Fairy Lin!"

"Is it just me, or is there something very different about Fairy Lin? She used to have this reserved demeanor, but now her aura is oozing with confidence."

"That's Fairy Lin?! I didn't recognize her until you mentioned it!"

The Outer Court disciples instantly noticed the drastic change in Lin Xinyi's demeanor. The once shy and timid girl had disappeared, becoming a confident, self-assured woman.

Suddenly, one of the female disciples there shouted in disbelief, "What the?! How is she at the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm?! She was only at the third level of the Sovereign Spirit Realm just a month ago!"

Once this was pointed out, others began to realize that it wasn't just her demeanor that had changed. Her cultivation had also improved at a drastic, seemingly impossible speed, leaving everyone astonished and puzzled.

Lin Xinyi's face blushed slightly after becoming the center of attention.

'I thought I was prepared for this, but reality is often disappointing. I still have a lot of work to do,' she sighed inwardly.

"Are you telling me that she had seven breakthroughs in just a month? How is that possible?" The Inner Court disciples did not believe the Outer Court disciples, and their doubt was reasonable.

Su Yang stopped walking once he stood before a certain Inner Court disciple.

"So, are you willing to swear on your soul that you'll quit being a dual cultivator if I become the Yang Qi King?" Su Yang repeated, pressuring the Inner Court disciple again.

The Inner Court disciple clenched his fists and wore an enraged expression on his face.

"What? You can't do it? Don't make such bold statements if you have no plan to follow through. You'll only be embarrassing yourself." Su Yang shook his head.

"Don't look down on me!" The Inner Court disciple suddenly exploded.

He glanced at the jade tablet and smiled after seeing a particular name.

"You want me to swear an oath? I'll do it because I am confident you won't win!" The Inner Court disciple swore upon his soul that he would quit being a dual cultivator if Su Yang won the Yang Qi King. His actions surprised and earned the admiration of the other disciples. Even if they were confident Su Yang wouldn't win, they still didn't dare to swear an oath so casually.

"There! Are you happy?!" The Inner Court disciple looked at Su Yang with a smug face.

Su Yang smiled, "Why would I be happy? I never cared for it in the first place."

"You bastard!"

Just as the Inner Court disciple raised his hand, a powerful presence appeared on the island, attracting everyone's attention.

The disciples immediately bowed to this individual after recognizing his identity.

"We greet the Vice Sect Leader!"

This man was the Vice Sect Leader, Chen Yi. Su Yang narrowed his gaze at Chen Yi and smiled inwardly, 'So you're still here?'

Chen Yi sensed a weird gaze on him, causing him to instinctively tremble.

'What the hell was that?' Chen Yi frowned, feeling a little nostalgic for some reason.

Meanwhile, the disciples were wondering why the Vice Sect Leader would show up at this moment since he'd never shown up for the Yang Qi King before.

Chen Yi spoke a moment later, "You're all probably wondering why I am here. The results of this year's Yang Qi King were very unexpected, so I came here to assure you that the results are accurate and no mistakes have been made. We've also made sure there was no foul play."

The disciples were baffled by such words. What could have happened to the Yang Qi King for the Vice Sect Leader to personally come out to assure them that it was accurate?

The Inner Court disciple who swore an oath suddenly had an ominous feeling in his guts.

Chen Yi pointed at the jade tablet and commanded, "Reveal!"

The names on the jade tablet began swapping positions with each other, and those closer to first rank were at the top.

A few moments later, the names stopped moving. When the disciples saw the name at the very top, their eyes widened with shock and disbelief.

"Yang Qi King — Outer Court Disciple Xiao Yang!"

Su Yang's name stood above over six hundred names, most of them being Core Disciple and Inner Court disciples. The name right below his was a Core Disciple named Du Qing, a renowned Core Disciple who many believed would be the Yang Qi King.

"X-Xiao Yang?! How is that possible?!" The Inner Court disciple who swore an oath shouted out loud, shattering the silence. "There's no way! He must have cheated somehow!" Chen Yi glared at this disciple and spoke in a cold voice, "I believe I already told you that the results are accurate and no foul play has taken place. Are you challenging the sect's decision?"

The Inner Court disciple instantly fell silent, his complexion as pale as sheets. Since Su Yang became the Yang Qi King, he must fulfill his oath and quit being a dual cultivator, or he would risk incurring heaven's tribulation.

"See? I told you I'd win and become the Yang Qi King." Su Yang's voice suddenly resounded, causing heads to shift in his direction.

With his arm around Lin Xinyi's waist, Su Yang continued speaking to her, "I'll become an Inner Court disciple next week and a Core Disciple soon after that. Do you believe me, my darling?"

Lin Xinyi nodded with a rosy face.

"Although it's not much of an achievement, let's celebrate tonight. You're on the verge of another breakthrough, after all."

Su Yang's words left everyone speechless. The men felt like they were slapped in the face by his accomplishment, and the women stared at Lin Xinyi, their eyes green with envy.
