The martial arts competition had ended.
The Great Elder announced that the Grand Sky Sect lost the first match, tied the second, and won the third, declaring the competition a draw.
However, as soon as the Great Elder spoke, Cheng Xiaotian shook his head.
"Great Elder... The Grand Sky Sect can afford to lose, and so can Martial Emperor City. In this situation, a draw is something Martial Emperor City cannot accept. This time, we admit our defeat wholeheartedly."
Cheng Xiaotian's words were impeccable.
In reality, the third match was the decisive one among the three.
The battle between the Seven-Colored Glazed Body and the Grand Sky Sword Box would determine the victor.
But now, not only had Zheng Yu lost, but Chu Xinghe had also instantly defeated both the Great Rhino and Xiao Ling with a flash of purple lightning.
So, anyone could see that this draw was not really a draw at all!
Even Cheng Xiaotian had to admit that Chu Xinghe was unfathomable, the foremost among the younger generation. Even if Zheng Yu and the others teamed up, they would not be a match for Chu Xinghe.
Chu Xinghe had practically crushed all of Martial Emperor City with an invincible stance, and Martial Emperor City, if it had any dignity, could not accept a draw.
With Martial Emperor City conceding defeat, the Great Elder naturally had nothing more to say.
He took out a pill to give to Cheng Xiaotian.
"No need for the pill, and let's cancel tonight's banquet. Martial Emperor City has urgent matters to attend to, and we will leave the Grand Sky Sect tonight."
Cheng Xiaotian's face was as grim as if he had just lost a child.
He left the Grand Sky Sect with Zheng Yu, who kept looking back every few steps, the unconscious Great Rhino, and the weakened Xiao Ling.
However, before leaving, Cheng Xiaotian looked at Chu Xinghe, indicating that one day Zheng Yu would return to challenge him, hoping Chu Xinghe would not hesitate to teach him.
Chu Xinghe nodded blankly... because at that moment, Chu Xinghe wasn't even thinking about that.
All he wanted to know was what the hell the Star Shift Technique was! How did he even win...
And why didn't they want the draw... Was it not enough that he admitted his mistake... If he had known this would be the result, he wouldn't have gotten angry, he wouldn't have used the purple lightning on the Great Rhino, he would have let it charge him instead!
Hey, hey, hey... don't go... come back, let's discuss this, have another match, whoever wins is the loser!
Chu Xinghe really felt like spitting blood...
He was just being stupid!
Why bother with standards, why bother with principles... now he's lost even his last shred of dignity.
If he had known from the start that they would set fire, he should have just laid down.
Zhu Rong's divine fire, isn't it reasonable that it's a bit stronger than the Rosefinch Spirit Flame?
So it's not unreasonable that the Rosefinch couldn't withstand it and went on strike, right?
Now it's all gone... damn it, everything's gone... and he even drove them away... Thunder Shadow, oh Thunder Shadow, you have to take the blame for this, how can you be so strong and still let me down?
Martial Emperor City left, but the Grand Sky Sect's banquet was not canceled.
What a joke! If they had lost today, there wouldn't even be a banquet, there would be nothing.

But today, not only did they win, but the victory was more satisfying than the previous fifteen matches combined.
In the past, the Grand Sky Sect could defeat Martial Emperor City, but it was always a narrow victory, and Cheng Xiaotian would leave with a look of unwillingness.
But this time was completely different.
Zheng Yu admitted his defeat wholeheartedly, and even when the Great Elder declared a draw, Cheng Xiaotian couldn't shamelessly accept it.
Because the defeat was too devastating...
Junior Brother Xinghe single-handedly defeated the three strongest members of Martial Emperor City.
And what's more terrifying is that Junior Brother Xinghe faced Zheng Yu, who had the Seven-Colored Glazed Body.
Four hundred years ago, when the Grand Sky Sect took the title of the world's number one from Martial Emperor City, Martial Emperor City claimed it was only because their Seven-Colored Glazed Body was lost, and that the day it was restored would be the day Martial Emperor City returned!
This time, Zheng Yu received the inheritance of the Seven-Colored Glazed Body and challenged the Grand Sky Sect, attracting worldwide attention.
Everyone was discussing whether this battle would mark the return of Martial Emperor City or the continuation of the Grand Sky Sect's legend!
And now the answer was clear.
Chu Xinghe fought Zheng Yu's Seven-Colored Glazed Body and defeated him without even using his full strength, making Zheng Yu admit defeat and ask for mercy.
Then, the Thunder Shadow's purple lightning instantly defeated the duo with the Ancient Dragon Rhino bloodline and Sword Intent, making it a shocking battle!
Such achievements are nothing short of glorious!
"God Bless Grand Sky!"
At the banquet, Sect Master Gu Mingchao raised his glass and personally shouted these four words... and everyone below followed suit!
"God Bless Grand Sky!"
"God bless...," Chu Xinghe muttered helplessly, mumbling along.
Countless senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters came to congratulate Chu Xinghe, and even many elders came to congratulate him.
But Chu Xinghe had no interest in any of it; he just wanted to know what the hell the Star Shift Technique was!
Finally, Chu Xinghe found the Great Elder.
"Great Elder... what is the Star Shift Technique?"
"Uh..." The Great Elder, who usually didn't like to drink, burped and looked at Chu Xinghe in confusion: "You broke the Star Shift Technique..."
"Uh... can you explain it in detail, Great Elder?"
"Oh... the Seven-Colored Glazed Body has seven gods, each with its own divine power. The divine power of the Mystic God Enters the Abyss is the Star Shift Technique... it can not only split into three identical avatars but also create a phantom puppet with the Star Domain Technique, hiding the puppet somewhere, and all damage received will be transferred to the puppet's location."
"Damage transfer?"
"That's the idea!" The Great Elder finished speaking and continued drinking with others.
Chu Xinghe was so angry he could have ripped his clothes off and thrown a tantrum!
Damn it! I wronged Zheng Yu...
I thought this guy was an actor... when four Zheng Yus were taking selfies, I thought he was trying to act like me.
But I was wrong, completely wrong... this guy must have transferred the damage to himself, so when he was taking selfies, the one getting hurt was himself, not Zheng Yu.
Conversely, when I got hurt, it would bounce back, hurting Zheng Yu.
That's why my Thunder Shadow's purple lightning instantly defeated Zheng Yu.
Chu Xinghe was in tears, he never expected Zheng Yu to play this trick!
Zheng Yu, oh Zheng Yu, why did you play this trick? Couldn't you just be normal?
If you were just a bit normal, you would have been the star of the banquet today... young man, you can't go down the crooked path!
Chu Xinghe drank a lot of wine, and whoever came to toast him, he accepted it all.
Lucky Ma Liang didn't stay idle, going around telling everyone how wise and powerful Senior Brother Xinghe was.
"Do you know... that Great Rhino's defense was insanely strong, but what use was it? It was still instantly defeated by Senior Brother Xinghe with one strike!"
Wan Lin wasn't idle either. After comprehending the Staff Intent, Wan Lin even thought about testing her skills against Senior Brother Xinghe, after all, she had comprehended the Staff Intent, and it was the strongest of the Staff Intents, the Nine-Nine Returns to One.
Although it was all thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe, Wan Lin felt a little bit of pride.
But after that flash of purple lightning, Wan Lin completely understood... the strength of Senior Brother Xinghe, the gap between herself and Senior Brother Xinghe was not something that could be bridged by the Staff Intent.
And the final strike from Senior Brother Xinghe that broke the opponent's Sword Intent was definitely because of her. Senior Brother Xinghe knew she couldn't fight the opponent anymore, but he still used this method to help her deal with the opponent.
Senior Brother Xinghe is truly the number one among the younger generation!
Chu Xinghe didn't know how the banquet ended, but when he was sent back drunk, he kept shouting, "I just want to lose! I really want to lose! Let me lose! I'm begging you!"
For such outrageous words from Senior Brother Xinghe, many drunk junior brothers were filled with respect.
"Today, Senior Brother Xinghe defeated Zheng Yu, and he can be considered the number one among the younger generation. But even so, Senior Brother Xinghe is not arrogant or proud, and is always prepared for failure. Such a mindset is something we should learn from!"
"Indeed! I heard that Senior Brother Xinghe once told Senior Sister Wan Lin and Senior Brother Ma Liang that the reason they were nervous and anxious during the competition was because they feared failure, and because they feared failure, they didn't dare to desire victory!"
"Yes, yes! Look at Senior Brother Xinghe, he never lets failure weigh him down, and as a result, failure can never catch up with him!"
"The state of mind of Senior Brother Xinghe is something we should learn from for a lifetime!"
Finally, Chu Xinghe was sent back to his room, and the equally drunk Feng Fei proudly tucked in the blanket for Junior Brother Xinghe, who was shouting about wanting to lose...
And the news of the battle between the Grand Sky Sect and Martial Emperor City quickly spread everywhere.
When people saw the result, almost everyone was stunned, wondering why a win, a loss, and a draw meant the Grand Sky Sect won?
Many people's first reaction was that the Grand Sky Sect must be shameless.
But when they saw that Chu Xinghe instantly defeated two people with one strike and didn't even use his full strength against Zheng Yu, everyone was shocked!
The name Chu Xinghe was naturally known to all the major sects, but this time, with Zheng Yu receiving the Seven-Colored Glazed Body and challenging the Grand Sky Sect, honestly, more people favored Zheng Yu.
After all, Martial Emperor City was once the king, and the Seven-Colored Glazed Body was the foundation of Martial Emperor City's invincibility.
But in this battle, Zheng Yu lost so miserably, and Chu Xinghe could easily defeat the three best disciples of Martial Emperor City single-handedly, which truly shocked countless people.
That night, countless people were sleepless, and countless notebooks had Chu Xinghe's name written in them.
Similarly, the name Chu Xinghe also became the imaginary enemy in the hearts of the younger generation across all major sects and even the entire world!
Defeating Chu Xinghe would earn the title of the number one among the younger generation.
That night, countless young people with dreams tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
They fantasized about defeating Chu Xinghe, but the more they did, the more pressure the name Chu Xinghe brought them.
The name Chu Xinghe, invisibly, became a mountain, a mountain that the younger generation of the world fantasized about climbing...
In the outer sect of the Grand Sky Sect, Chu Cheng also tossed and turned, unable to sleep...
Wrapped like a dumpling, he mumbled with lips as swollen as sausages.
"Why... I'm the number one in Hillside Village... Chu Xinghe is second... I'm a man with the potential of a great emperor, I'm not convinced! I'm just a dragon swimming in shallow waters, a golden scale is not a thing in the pond, it will transform into a dragon when it encounters the wind and clouds!"
"Bang!" The door was kicked open by a Bighead Carp.
"Who the hell is making noise here! Can't you let me sleep, do you want to die, beat him up!"
No one knew how long the beating lasted, but the golden scale definitely had to stay in the pond for another year or so...
