The secret realm gradually closed, the light shrinking to a point, and the Star Lord's projection reappeared. His majestic voice echoed in every corner of the secret realm: "This secret realm trial has concluded. The Lingxiao Sect has narrowly won first place in sect points, with the Baixing Sect in second place. The highest individual scorer is Chu Yang, a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect."
The moment he heard the result, Chu Yang practically jumped out of the mecha, laughing and shouting, "Haha! Brother is indeed a genius, destined to shine in this secret trial!"
Lu Qingli couldn't help but smile and shook her head: "Okay, okay, you are the best. But when we return to the sect, you have to treat us. This time's reward has a lot of your contribution."
Chu Yang patted the door of the mecha and said proudly, "Don't even mention treating me. I'm willing to treat you for three days straight! Plenty of spiritual wine and as many spiritual fruits as you want!"
The Star Lord's projection continued, "The Lingxiao Sect will receive a reward of 50,000 spirit stones and ten rare materials. The person with the highest individual points will receive a special reward, presented by the Star Lord himself."
When Chu Yang heard the words "special reward," he felt himself floating. "Special reward?! Oh my god, I'm the winner in life! This time, I'm going to be written into the history of the Lingxiao Sect!"
On the other side, in the Baixing Sect team, Ye Tiandi's face looked awful. He gripped the mecha's control stick tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the words "Lingxiao Sect" on the leaderboard. He snorted coldly, "Lingxiao Sect? Chu Yang? How is that possible? This is all just shitty luck!"
The Baixing Sect disciples beside him tried to comfort him: "Senior Brother Ye, they were just lucky in this trial. We will definitely be able to take first place again next time!"
Ye Tiandi had a blank expression on his face, his eyes cold and grim. "Luck? Ridiculous. Only the weak believe in luck. Next time, I won't give them a chance to even breathe."
Chu Yang didn't notice Ye Tiandi's look at all. He excitedly shouted, "Senior Sister! Xiaofan! Our Lingxiao Sect is proud of this! Xiaofan, you have made a great contribution. You can't run away. When we get back, I will take you to drink to your heart's content!"
Xiang Fan, who was standing at the end, shrank his neck in fear and waved his hands repeatedly: "No... no, no, no, I don't have any credit. It's all due to everyone's efforts. I just... just..." His voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and in the end, almost only he could hear it.
Lu Qingli smiled and said gently, "Xiang Fan, without the trap you designed, we wouldn't have been able to hunt the rare spirit beast so easily. Don't underestimate yourself, everyone sees it."
Chu Yang casually put his arm around Xiang Fan's shoulders and said, "Little Junior Brother, don't be so modest! I've made up my mind. From now on, I'll leave our tactics to you. It's absolutely reliable!"
Xiang Fan's face flushed red, and he said in a panic, "I... I actually just read some... some books and tried it out blindly."
Lu Qingli couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, don't scare Xiaofan. We have important things to do, let's get ready to leave."
After the secret realm closed, all participants were transported back to the entrance square. The disciples of the Lingxiao Sect were so excited that they almost jumped for joy. Chu Yang was particularly exaggerated. He twisted the arm of the mecha and excitedly shouted, "This time when I go back, I must write a big battle report to let the sect know about my style!"
Lu Qingli looked at Chu Yang and couldn't help but shake her head: "Keep a low profile and don't make a fool of yourself. The trial is a victory of teamwork, not a one-man show."
Xiang Fan stood silently at the back, head bowed, not daring to look up at anyone. He listened to Chu Yang's laughter and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This success is all thanks to everyone's efforts. What I did was just a trivial matter."
In the distance, Emperor Ye Tian coldly scanned the Lingxiao Sect's ranks, his gaze shifting from Chu Yang to Lu Qingli before settling on Xiang Fan. A hint of doubt crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and turned away, seemingly having completely forgotten the entire Secret Realm Trial.
The Star Lord's projection appeared for the last time and said majestically: "The secret realm trial is over. I hope that all cultivators will continue to work hard, pursue higher immortal paths, and create a glorious future of their own." After the voice fell, the entire square was silent for a moment, and then filled with cheers again.
The sect's flying boat slowly descended, and the Lingxiao Sect's mountain gate appeared particularly majestic in the rosy glow. The elders had already been waiting outside the gate, their faces kind but also tinged with a hint of quiet pride. The elder in charge of this trial stepped forward, hands clasped behind his back, and said with a smile, "Although you have experienced many setbacks in this secret realm trial, you have ultimately lived up to the sect's trust and returned with glory. This is truly a rare achievement."
The disciples all knelt and saluted, saying respectfully, "This is our responsibility as disciples, and we dare not take credit for it."
While kneeling, Chu Yang couldn't help but jump out. He waved his hand, a flattering smile on his face. "Elder, I'm the top scorer this time! Are there any special rewards? Like spirit stones, elixirs... or secret sect techniques?"
The elders couldn't help but laugh at this. Several older elders looked at each other and laughed heartily. One of them said, "Rewards are inevitable, but remember, this trial is a team victory, not a place for individual bragging."
Chu Yang scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "Yes, yes, the elder is right! But the reward is still... hehe, I'm looking forward to it!"
Xiang Fan, standing in the crowd, quietly shrank back, seemingly feeling that this scene didn't suit him. The cheers and applause seemed to be a barrier between them. He stood silently at the back, his eyes a little evasive.
Lu Qingli noticed his expression, walked up to him, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Xiang Fan, your performance in this trial really exceeded my expectations."
