When Leng Ningshuang walked off the arena, the referee finally snapped out of his shock. He hurriedly stepped onto the stage, grabbed Chu Chen's arm, and raised it over his head, saying, "I declare that the champion of this exchange competition is Chu Chen from the Celestial Star City's Cyan Dragon Daoist School branch. Let's give our applause to this genius."
As his words fell, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, accompanied by many excited shouts.
But these people were all geniuses from small and medium-sized cities.
Through this exchange competition, they deeply realized the gap between themselves and the prodigies of large cities, inevitably feeling a sense of disparity. Some even developed feelings of inferiority.
However, after Chu Chen won the championship, all their negative emotions vanished, as if a huge stone pressing on their hearts had been removed.
Unlike these geniuses from small and medium-sized cities, the talents from large and super cities looked displeased, especially when glancing at the five of Leng Ningshuang, their eyes filled with disappointment. Some extremists even rose to the level of resentment.
In their view, these five Double S-level prodigies, who possessed all kinds of rare resources, lost to a poor kid from a remote small town, which was hard for them to accept.
This was like an amateur basketball enthusiast beating all the basketball stars on the court.
In the audience seating.
"This kid is so fierce, can the Double Domain really be used by them at the Commander Level?"
"Indeed, it's said that many Lord Level experts have never possessed a complete domain, let alone a Double Domain."
"Losing the money isn't unfair. I was thinking of causing him trouble, but now it seems I'll forget about it."
"Heh, you still want to cause him trouble? You must be crazy. If he heard you, if he doesn't trouble you, it would be your lucky day."
On the fourth floor of the audience seating.
Wu Yingxiong suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at the boy standing proudly on the arena, his eyes filled with shock.
"Young Master, it seems he was hiding something from you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong waved his hand, saying, "That's nothing, after all, I didn't ask him in detail, and no Beast Master would reveal all their strength to others. Contact my father immediately. I have important matters to discuss with him."
The butler seemed to understand the young master's intention but still advised, "Young Master, you want to invest in him."
Wu Yingxiong nodded and said, "That's right."
"Shouldn't we think it over carefully? If it annoys the old master, this might all be for nothing."
"Now is the best time. If it's delayed, it'll only be the icing on the cake."
Seeing the young master's firm tone, the butler couldn't say more. He immediately clicked on the communication bracelet to dial a contact.
At this moment, on the chairman's platform, apart from the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, the elders of the other four schools all had rather unpleasant expressions. The only one with a somewhat different expression might be Elder Feng, whose face was complex.
Leng Ningshuang, born as the prodigy of the Qilin Daoist School, had high expectations from the school's upper management. However, her gentle disposition made it challenging to be of significant use. The school had communicated with her several times about this matter, but the results were minimal.
Unexpectedly, in the exchange competition, first Long Yunxiao helped her build confidence, and in the finals, Chu Chen helped her break through, but she still lost, which dealt a considerable blow to her newly built confidence.
However, Chu Chen's last words seemed to have a significant impact, helping Leng Ningshuang regain her spirit. Her determination became firmer, and she underwent a transformation, gaining a lot. Nevertheless, she ultimately lost the match, something that was hard for Elder Feng to accept.
At this moment, the most excited person was Zhao Qianshan.
"Hall Master, this time we are sure to outdo Xu Guangyuan."
Long Batian nodded and said, "Alas! We are all concerned about the Cyan Dragon Daoist School. After all, cultivation resources are limited, and he just wants to nurture more talents. I hope Chu Chen's emergence can make him realize."
Hearing this, Zhao Qianshan quickly added a flattery, saying, "Hall Master, you really have a benevolent heart. Otherwise, with your means, how could Xu Guangyuan still be bouncing around till now."
Long Batian waved his hand and said, "The Grand Elder is still my senior. His intentions are good, and as long as it doesn't endanger the school, what's wrong with a little competition? Isn't this also a form of training for those talents?"
Zhao Qianshan quickly agreed with a smile, saying, "You're right. I wonder how we should cultivate this kid in our Daoist School?"
Long Batian smiled and said, "Let's not discuss this matter for now. I have my own plans. First, distribute their rewards."
On hearing this, Zhao Qianshan quickly agreed, then swiftly got up and went to the arena.
He gestured to the crowd to quiet down and said, "Everyone, please calm down. Next is the exciting award ceremony. Please, the top ten contestants come on stage."
The crowd's gaze focused on the center of the arena.
Aside from Chu Chen, Leng Ningshuang, who had just left, returned to the stage, feeling somewhat speechless, and she gazed at Chu Chen with complex emotions in her eyes.
The third place was Long Yunxiao. After getting on the stage, he first greeted Leng Ningshuang, then approached Chu Chen.
He extended his right hand and smiled, saying, "Hello, my name is Long Yunxiao."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly reached out his right hand and shook it, saying, "Hello, I'm Chu Chen. Nice to meet you."
"I didn't expect such a prodigy to appear in our Cyan Dragon Daoist School, I'm truly delighted."
