Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 481: Behind the Scenes

Outside the main hall.

The crowd did not leave.

Instead, they waited outside the hall, occasionally discussing the succession of the Young Master’s position.

Though they were powerless to vie for the position of the Young Master themselves, it did not stop them from debating it.

In the eyes of most people, the Dark Night Sons Number One and Number Two were the most likely candidates to become the Young Master.

After all, both were Cultivators of the eight-fold level in the Primordial Pill Realm.

As for Number Seventeen, they had not considered him at all.

Numbers Eleven and Eighteen, on the other hand, had great confidence in Number Seventeen.

Because both knew the identity of Number Seventeen.

Number Eighteen, Xu Lin, goes without mention.

Number Eleven, Piano Girl, although she hadn’t entered King City in a while,

Had also heard some news about Ling Chen.

Especially about the incident where Ling Chen had slain Academy Elder Ye Fan from King Star Academic Palace.

However, their discussion did not last long.

The doors to the main hall opened, and Star Shura walked out from within.

"Star Shura?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Wasn’t the competition for the position of the Young Master taking place inside?

Why had he come out so early?

Star Shura glanced at the gathered crowd and said, "Gather here at dawn tomorrow for the ceremony to appoint the Young Master."

"Young Master?"

"What? It’s decided already?"

...

The crowd looked astonished.

That was too quick, wasn’t it?

It seemed like it hadn’t even been a quarter of an hour.

Could it be that not even one competition had been completed in such a short time?

"My lord, which Dark Night Son has become the Young Master?"

Dark Night Son Number Six asked.

"Seventeen."

Star Shura dropped this sentence and quickly departed.

"What, Seventeen?"

"No way? How could Seventeen become the Young Master?"

"That’s right! Isn’t Seventeen just at the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm?"

"I must be dreaming!"

...

The crowd was full of disbelief.

A guy who had joined the Dark Night not long ago had actually become the Young Master?

Even Piano Girl and Xu Lin were completely baffled.

They knew Ling Chen was incredibly powerful, but it should not be possible that he defeated five opponents in such a short time, right?

Right at this moment, Ling Chen and the other five Dark Night Sons also walked out.

People immediately surrounded them.

"Seventeen, have you really obtained the position of the Young Master?"

Someone asked with incredulity.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded lightly.

"Number One, did Seventeen really defeat all of you?"

Someone turned to ask Dark Night Son Number One.

"Yes."

Number One nodded his head.

The other four Dark Night Sons who had participated in the competition for Young Master all nodded with a bitter expression.

"How did he do it?"

The person continued to ask.

Number One shook his head and said, "I can’t tell you, but anyway, Seventeen’s strength far surpasses ours."

"I don’t believe it. You’re just at the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, how could you possibly defeat Number One and Number Two who are at the eighth level?"

Someone stared at Ling Chen demanding an explanation.

The others also looked at Ling Chen with doubtful faces.

They felt that there must be some foul play.

Otherwise, how could someone at the sixth level of the Primordial Pill Realm possibly seize the position of the Young Master?

Ling Chen’s gaze swept across the faces of the crowd and he said indifferently, "You don’t believe me, huh? Fine! At the ceremony tomorrow, I will prove it to you!"

Although Ji Wuya tried his best to protect him, in any situation, only strength could convince the masses.

The Dark Night Sons were not convinced today, tomorrow the Protectors, and even other Dark Night Cultivators, might not be convinced as well.

If that was the case, then it would be better to display his strength altogether at that time.

...

The next day.

Dark Realm Main Hall.

The Dark Night Cultivators all gathered here.

Ling Chen, dressed in a black robe, stood above.

Ji Wuya handed over the Young Master’s token to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen respectfully accepted it.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

The four great Shuras, a few Dark Night Sons, and Protectors hurriedly paid their respects.

However, many others showed no intention of paying respects.

Instead, they watched Ling Chen with cold smirks.

"What is this supposed to mean? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Ji Wuya’s expression turned icy.

The position of Young Master for Ling Chen was witnessed by him and the four great Shuras.

Yet these people below were so disrespectful, completely disregarding Ling Chen.

"My Lord!"

A Protector spoke up: "We are not rebelling, but we feel that there might be some foul play regarding the ownership of the Young Master’s position."

"What foul play?"

Ji Wuya asked coldly.

That Protector continued: "My Lord, can someone at the early sixth stage of the Primordial Pill Realm really defeat a cultivator at the mid-eighth stage of the Primordial Pill Realm? I don’t believe it!"

"We don’t believe it either!"

Many others firmly sided with this Protector.

Ji Wuya’s expression turned even colder.

He figured it out.

Despite his utmost effort to protect Ling Chen and having the latter conceal his strength, some people probably wouldn’t let things go their way!

"Protector Su, who says a sixth-stage Primordial Pill Realm cultivator cannot defeat an eighth-stage one? If you haven’t seen it, that is due to your ignorance!"

Ling Chen stated coldly.

"You don’t believe it, huh?"

Ling Chen nodded slightly, then said chillingly: "Fine! Now, all the Dark Night Sons who do not believe, you may all strike together. If you can make me take a step back, I will willingly relinquish the position of Young Master!"

"Arrogant!"

"Courting death!"

"Let’s all attack together; let’s see how this brat defends himself!"

...

The Dark Night Sons were indignant.

This guy was clearly mocking them!

They were all Dark Night Sons, and even joined the Dark Night sooner than Ling Chen. Why should someone with lesser cultivation occupy the position of Young Master?

Seeing this, everyone else retreated.

And the ten Dark Night Sons who believed there was foul play stepped forward together.

"Number Seventeen, these are your words, don’t blame us for ganging up on the fewer!"

Dark Night Son Number Six sneered.

Even if he ultimately couldn’t become the Young Master, he wouldn’t allow a weakling who resorted to petty schemes take up the position.

This was simply a humiliation to the Dark Night Sons!

"Attack!"

At Number Six’s command, the ten Dark Night Sons instantly unleashed their Spiritual Power, Spiritual Weapons materializing in their hands, preparing to strike at Ling Chen.

However, at this moment, Ling Chen suddenly cracked a smile. Divine Soul Telekinesis surged from his Heavenly Spirit, splitting into ten streams and attacking the ten individuals.

Divine Soul Attack!

Those ten Dark Night Cultivators originally ready to strike were now dizzy on the spot.

Even their Spiritual Power retracted.

"What, Divine Soul Attack?"

"Latter stage of the Transformation Realm?"

"Is he a high-grade advanced Divine Thought Master?"

...

The Protectors exclaimed in shock one after another.

Who would have thought, Dark Night Son Number Seventeen, was actually a high-grade advanced Divine Thought Master!

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen moved, charging towards the ten Dark Night Sons.

"Slap slap slap..."

A series of crisp slapping sounds followed, and the ten Dark Night Sons were all sent flying by Ling Chen.

Ling Chen then immediately returned to his original position.

"Protector Su, do you think I qualify to be the Young Master?"

Ling Chen stared at the Protector who had initiated the trouble, his voice cold.

"Yes, you qualify!"

Protector Su hurriedly responded.

No wonder he was able to seize the position of Young Master at the initial sixth stage!

It turns out this guy was actually a high-grade advanced Divine Thought Master!

The criteria to become a Dark Night Son, he knew well, was to be below the age of twenty-five.

Ling Chen had become a Dark Night Son less than a year ago; his age must certainly not exceed it.

A high-grade advanced Divine Thought Master under twenty-five, the entire Great Xia Dynasty probably doesn’t have one, right?
