“Huh?” Tan Yun froze for a moment before blurting out—
“Wait, wait… are you two actually serious about this?!”
He was the one who had taught both of them their techniques—
So he knew better than anyone just how strong Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan were!
If they really fought at full power…
There was a very high chance both of them would be seriously injured!
And that kind of outcome—
Was something Tan Yun would never accept!
---
“Tan Yun, stay out of this. This is between me and Ziyan!”
“Brother-in-law, don’t worry. This is a match between me and Sister!”
Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan spoke at the same time.
Their eyes were resolute—
Clearly unwilling to stop until a winner was decided!
---
Seeing this—
The disciples of the Five Souls lineage erupted in cheers!
“Junior Sister Xue is fighting her own sister for the honor of our lineage! Isn’t that amazing?!”
“Exactly! She’s the pride of the Five Souls lineage!”
“Junior Sister Xue will win!”
“She’ll win for sure!”
“...”
---
Hearing the cheers—
The Five Souls Daoist beamed with pride, his face glowing with satisfaction.
In his heart, he was already scheming—
To find a chance to have Xue Ziyan pass her technique on to his grandson, **Wu Ling**!
In his eyes—
Both his grandson and Xue Ziyan possessed the same **5-element spiritual affinity**: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
If Xue Ziyan could master it—
Then his grandson could too!
“Heh… right now my grandson can’t beat Tan Yun, but if he learns this technique… killing Tan Yun will be as easy as flipping a hand!”
The Five Souls Daoist thought shamelessly, then waved his hand and commanded—
“Silence! Don’t disturb Ziyan’s match!”
“Yes, sir!”
Tens of thousands of disciples instantly fell quiet.
---
Everyone held their breath—
Waiting for the “battle of geniuses” to begin!
No one knew—
Whether Mu Mengyi or Xue Ziyan was stronger.
But one thing was certain—
Both of them were top-tier prodigies!
And this fight… was bound to be intense!
Because both had declared—
They would not hold back!
---
However—
What happened next…
Left the entire arena **stunned**!
Even Tan Yun and most of the disciples—
Couldn’t help but burst into laughter!
---
Xue Ziyan stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Mu Mengyi—who stood the same way—and said seriously:
“Sister Mu, are you ready?”
“I’m ready!” Mu Mengyi replied firmly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t go easy on you!”
“Good! I’ll count to **3**!”
Xue Ziyan stared at her, then shouted—
“1!”
“2!”
“3!”
“Rock, Paper, Scissors!”
---
“Hehe! Sister Mu, you chose paper, I chose scissors—I win!”
Xue Ziyan’s clear, bell-like laughter echoed across the entire Panlong Mountain.
She proudly held up **2 fingers**, her face full of joy.
---
Meanwhile—
Mu Mengyi muttered unhappily:
“Back when we were in the outer sect, you always lost… and now you win?!”
---
“What the hell… is this?!”
Da Niu stood there with his mouth wide open.
“This… counts as a fight?!”
Countless disciples—
Were left completely dumbfounded!
---
Then, in the next moment—
Laughter erupted across the entire mountain!
The previously tense atmosphere—
Instantly relaxed!
---
Even Tantai Xuanzhong couldn’t help but laugh.
Although this “match” seemed a bit childish…
He had to admit—
It was actually quite entertaining!
---
As for the Five Souls Daoist—
The corners of his mouth twitched violently.
His disciple…
Reached the final **2** like this?!
Then he burst into laughter:
“Hahaha! Ziyan! Keep this momentum and bring back **1st place** for me!”
---
Tan Yun laughed loudly—
Then glanced at him with a hint of disdain.
“Old man… are you serious, or just joking?”
“Brother-in-law, come play a round with me!”
Xue Ziyan waved cheerfully from Wolong Platform No. **1**, calling out to Tan Yun.
---
Shen Subing, however, felt extremely anxious.
The **No. 1** rank of the Wolong Ranking—
was not just an ordinary title.
It carried **profound significance**.
Right now, the competition among the **9 lineages** was growing more intense by the day.
Many elders had already begun using the **ranking of their disciples in the Wolong Ranking** as a benchmark to determine—
**which lineage truly stood at No. 1 within the inner sect!**
Moreover—
since the founding of the sect by its ancestor,
the **Pill Lineage** had **never once** produced a disciple who claimed the No. 1 spot!
And now—
the chance to break that long-standing limitation…
was right in front of them!
How could she not feel anxious?
---
Tan Yun glanced at Shen Subing’s expression—
and immediately understood.
His disciple had been waiting for the day when the Pill Lineage could finally stand tall with pride.
So—
he would naturally **fulfill that hope**!
---
Before Shen Subing could even speak—
Tan Yun turned toward Xue Ziyan and scoffed,
“Don’t play games with me.”
“This time, the **No. 1** spot… belongs to the Pill Lineage!”
---
Hearing this—
Shen Subing felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her chest.
Her gaze toward Tan Yun filled with expectation.
---
“Whoosh!”
Tan Yun’s figure flickered—
disappearing from where he stood, only to reappear atop Wolong Platform No. **2**.
The smile on his face vanished—
replaced by a serious expression.
“Draw your sword!”
---
Xue Ziyan let out a soft laugh.
“Brother-in-law, stop joking. I know very well—”
“No matter how strong I am… I’m still not your match.”
“I concede.”
Her smile faded as she shot him a glare.
“So boring!”
---
“Whoosh!”
She leapt down from the platform—
and stood beside Mu Mengyi.
---
With everything settled—
Shen Subing was so overjoyed that it felt unreal,
as though she were dreaming.
In her beautiful eyes—
there was both gentleness and longing.
She wished her **master** could be here—
to witness this proud moment together.
---
On the Jade Tower—
Tantai Xuanzhong rose to his feet.
He looked at Tan Yun with a growing sense of satisfaction,
his clear voice echoing across the sky:
“I hereby announce!”
“The **No. 1** of this year’s Wolong Ranking—”
“**Tan Yun of the Pill Lineage!**”
“**No. 2—Xue Ziyan of the Five Elements Lineage!**”
“**No. 3—Mu Mengyi of the Pill Lineage!**”
---
The moment his words fell—
cheers erupted like a tidal wave!
Disciples of the Pill Lineage and the Five Elements Lineage roared with excitement!
Especially the Pill Lineage—
Tan Yun’s victory this time
was an **unprecedented honor**!
---
In contrast—
the Sacred Spirit Lineage, which had dominated the **No. 1** spot for over **100 years**,
was filled with disappointment…
---
Tantai Xuanzhong raised his hand for silence,
then continued:
“Ke Xinyi—ranked **No. 4** in the Wolong Ranking.”
“Next, the matches to determine ranks **5 to 8** will proceed among those previously eliminated.”
“After the top **8** are finalized…”
“Each lineage leader will select disciples to enter the **Eternal Immortal Realm**, according to their allotted quotas.”
“The selection must be completed within **6 days**.”
“On Day **7**, I will personally grant rewards.”
“On Day **8**, you will depart for the **Eternal Immortal Sect**!”
---
Hearing this—
the leaders of all **9 lineages** bowed in unison.
“Yes, Sect Master!”
---
“Mhm.”
Tantai Xuanzhong nodded.
At that moment—
an elderly man with white hair stepped out of thin air, as if walking through space itself!
In the blink of an eye—
he appeared on the Jade Tower and bowed.
A respectful voice echoed directly into Tantai Xuanzhong’s mind:
“Sect Master, the task you assigned has been completed.”
“All **1,263 sect masters** within the Heavenly Punishment Mountain region are now awaiting the arrival of Huangfu Shengxing.”
---
Tantai Xuanzhong nodded.
“I understand. Go receive them first—I will follow shortly.”
“Yes.”
The old man replied—
and vanished into the air.
---
Tantai Xuanzhong then turned and instructed,
“Subing, you will oversee the remaining matches of the **9 lineages**.”
“Yes, Sect Master!”
Shen Subing responded respectfully.
---
“Mhm.”
Then—
Tantai Xuanzhong beckoned to Tan Yun.
Tan Yun’s body jolted slightly—
as he was suddenly lifted into the air, floating upward toward the Jade Tower.
“Sect Master, you—”
Before he could finish—
Tantai Xuanzhong spoke:
“I have something for you to do later. Come with me.”
---
With that—
he grabbed Tan Yun’s wrist—
and soared into the sky!
Their figures pierced through the clouds—
vanishing into the vast sea of mist…
