Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

[Ding: Congratulations, host, you have encountered the protagonist, 'Chu Nan']

Age: 18

[Destiny: Blue (Excellent)]

[Cultivation Level: Eighth Level of Profound Realm]

[Innate Constitution: Profound Metal Spiritual Body (Half-Awakened)]

[Fate Tribulation: The Tribulation of Severed Meridians - If one cannot fully awaken the Profound Metal Spiritual Body, one's fortune will continue to decline, ultimately leading to death in the fate tribulation]

[Destiny: A heart filled with rage, broken through and rebuilt]

[Ding: Host, would you like to bind to the protagonist 'Chu Nan'? You can bind to the next protagonist only after helping the protagonist overcome or avoid his fate.]

"Not bound!"

Lü Tu isn't stupid!

Now that he's bound to Chu Nan but can't help him overcome his fate, he can't bind to the next one.

Because Chu Nan's destiny is to fully awaken his Xuanjin Spiritual Body as soon as possible, which he cannot do now.

He needs to at least confirm whether Ye Linxiao is the main character before he can bind himself to Chu Nan.

However, Brother Donkey is still very happy to have gotten a leading role for free.

While Lü Tu was checking Chu Nan's information.

The other two were also sizing each other up.

Jingyang glanced at Chu Nan, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

It's understandable that Chu Nan, whose talent is far superior to his, would risk his life to accept the Qingyun Ranking.

But what about the dog servant?

Ok?

How dare he?

"You, a mere servant, dare to compete with me for the Azure Cloud Ranking?"

How could Jingyang not be angry?

His father sacrificed so much to get this opportunity for him, and even his mother was thoroughly abused by the Second Elder.

It can be said that the dignity and future of the entire family are staked on this Qingyun Ranking.

As long as he accepts the Azure Cloud Ranking, he can be accepted as a disciple by the Second Elder of the Inner Sect.

What a wonderful future! Just thinking about it fills me with anticipation.

but!

But someone else was going to take this opportunity from him, and that was a lowly servant whom he looked down upon.

What if this opportunity is snatched away? Wouldn't all his family's efforts have been in vain?

Seriously!

At this moment, Jingyang felt like killing someone.

"You little bastard, do you even know who my father is? You'd better give up now!"

Lu Tu looked puzzled as he faced Jingyang, who was gritting his teeth.

"Your father? Didn't your mother tell you who your father is?"

"All I can say is that the entertainment industry is truly chaotic!"

Upon hearing this!

The entire audience burst into laughter.

"Hahaha...this handyman is quite talented."

"Although I hate this scoundrel to the core, Jingyang infuriates me even more! The Qingyun Ranking is a fair competition, so why should others be forced to withdraw?"

"So what if he's the son of an outer sect elder? What's so great about him? You're nothing without your father."

Obviously!

Jingyang has a very bad reputation among the outsiders, and almost no one is speaking up for him right now.

The ridicule and sarcasm from the crowd enraged Jingyang.

"As Senior Sister Luan just said, the Holy Son assigned the Azure Cloud Ranking to the outer sect to give true geniuses a chance."

"You're just a lowly servant at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, with no talent and no background. What do you have to compete with me?"

"Those who know what's good for them will leave immediately, otherwise..."

Before Jingyang could finish speaking, Lü Tu suddenly pointed at him, looked up at Luan Yang, and said...

"Senior sister~ Look at him~"

"As the son of an outer sect elder, he abuses his power to bully others."

"They dare to openly threaten me in front of everyone; who knows how many evil deeds they've committed behind the scenes? If this gets out, wouldn't it damage the sect's reputation?"

Luan Yang: "..."

It's started again.

This guy seizes every opportunity to tattle, accusing one person of wrongdoing after another.

Feeling Luan Yang's extremely oppressive gaze, Jingyang felt a pang of panic.

"I...I didn't threaten him."

"Governor, don't listen to his nonsense."

Luan Yang said coldly.

"The Ranking List is fair and just; everyone has the right to compete."

"As for the situation of multiple competitors, the Holy Son had already anticipated it and even set a test for us."

"The test questions are on the Azure Cloud Ranking. Including myself, no one in the entire sect, except for the Holy Son, knows what the test questions are."

"The first person to answer correctly, take the lead!"

Wow~

Before he could finish speaking...

Luan Yang flicked the jade scroll in his hand.

The scroll is opened vertically, but the white Xuan paper in the center of the painting contains only one character.

"fish"

That's right, it only has one character: 'fish'.

"fish?"

"What does this mean?"

"Does the Holy Son want to eat fish?"

Luan Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, then understood.

"This is the question for the exam! What is a fish?"

"Please answer within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

At this moment, not only were Lu Tu and his two companions at the very center of the training ground dumbfounded, but even the tens of thousands of disciples on the periphery were also stunned.

They were all scratching their heads in frustration.

"What is a fish? Isn't a fish just a fish?"

"That's right! What else could a fish be but a fish?"

"No! Since it's a test set by the Holy Son, it can't be that simple. It must have a deeper meaning, so we need to consider it carefully."

While everyone else was pondering, Luan Yang's brain was also racing.

"What is the meaning of this test, Holy Son?"

She really wanted to answer.

Because this way she can get closer to Ye Linxiao.

That's right!

She harbors feelings of admiration for Ye Linxiao.

After all, which woman wouldn't be tempted by such a prodigy with almost supernatural talent?

At this moment, the single word "fish" stumped tens of thousands of people in the audience.

Just as everyone was deep in thought, Jingyang's eyes suddenly lit up.

He then hurriedly cupped his hands and said loudly.

"I answered the Governor's question correctly."

These words surprised everyone present.

Elder Jing Ye of the outer sect laughed heartily, tears streaming down his face with emotion.

"Good, good! He truly is my precious son."

He had a son late in life!

Over the years, they have indeed poured a lot of effort and placed high hopes on Jingyang.

This time, the Holy Son personally set the questions, which stumped tens of thousands of people.

If Jingyang can answer the question, it will be a moment of triumph and a stunning achievement.

Luan Yang also looked somewhat surprised.

Please answer!

Feeling the spotlight on everyone, Jingyang's face flushed with excitement.

"The fact that the Holy Son set the question with the word 'fish' this time is probably meant to signify that the sect is full of outstanding talents and has deep roots and flourishing branches."

"So my answer is..."

May you have abundance and prosperity every year.

"It symbolizes the sect's ever-growing prosperity and eternal existence."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

"That's right! The Holy Son's successful breakthrough to the Spirit King Realm upon emerging from seclusion is already a joyous occasion. This challenge should be another glorious addition to the sect's legacy."

"This answer is perfect, very reasonable."

"Tch~ I already thought of that, I just didn't want to say it."

Jing Ye excitedly gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, okay!"

"My son is exceptional! He has the potential to be an emperor."

His lackeys kept flattering him.

"Like father, like son!"

"Young Master Jing is indeed clever."

"I knew Young Master Jing was a dragon among men, didn't I?"

Listening to the praise coming from the crowd.

Jingyang couldn't help but puff out his chest, a smug look on his face.

He was the first to answer.

He deserves the title on the Qingyun List.

But the expectation in Luan Yang's eyes faded.

She glanced at the unresponsive Qingyun Ranking, shook her head, and said coldly.

"Incorrect answer!"

If the answer is correct, the Qingyun Ranking will provide a notification.

"what?"

Jingyang was stunned. His smile froze on his face, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

Isn't that right?

Finished!

It's over now.

All his hopes were shattered.

Do not!

There is still hope, which is that the other two also answer all the questions incorrectly.

If all three make mistakes, there should be another round of the competition.

Just then, Chu Nan's voice suddenly rang out.

"To the Governor-General, my answer is..."

"The fish leaps over the dragon gate!"

"I am the fish, and the Azure Cloud Ranking is the Dragon Gate."

Only by abandoning everything, crossing the Dragon Gate, and rising from the ashes can a fish transform into a dragon.

Upon hearing this!

Luan Yang's eyes lit up slightly.

This answer is clearly more meaningful and insightful than Jingyang's previous one.

Everyone else did the same, nodding in agreement as they listened.

"That's good! That makes perfect sense."

"Exactly! How come I didn't think of that? Accepting the Azure Cloud Ranking is gambling with your life; isn't it about giving up everything just to change your fate?"

"Excellent! What a magnificent leap over the dragon gate!"

"Tch~ I already thought of that, I just didn't want to say it."

Chu Nan's body trembled slightly with excitement.

His answer must be correct.

As long as he accepts the Azure Cloud Ranking, revealing that he possesses the Profound Gold Spiritual Body will surely earn him the respect of the sect.

As for why we dare not reveal it now?

He is not stupid!

The human heart is unpredictable, and human nature is inherently evil.

People admire geniuses, but they are also jealous of them.

If they dare to reveal it now, they probably won't even make it to the inner gate alive.

Like right now!

Chu Nan had already sensed several strong killing intents, the most direct being from Jing Yang, whose eyes were filled with jealousy.

But to everyone's surprise...

Luan Yang glanced at the still unresponsive Qingyun Ranking, her voice tinged with disappointment.

"Incorrect answer!"

"What?"

Chu Nan's mind was instantly filled with a roar.

Then Luan Yang's gaze fell on the last person, Lü Tu.

"The incense stick's time is almost up, what's your answer?"

Lu Tu snapped out of his reverie, then cupped his hands and smiled.

"Replying to Senior Sister, a fish is a fish!"

Luan Yang: "?"

Everyone: "???"
