Knowing a daughter better than anyone, Dantai Xuanzhong could see from his daughter's eyes that she had developed feelings for Tan Yun.
Immediately, Dantai Xuanzhong retracted his smile and looked at the disheartened Holy Spirit Daoist, commanding, “The Ten Veins Grand Competition is not over yet; you will continue to preside over it.”
“Next, the disciples from the Meritorious Lineage will compete for the top three spots on the Immortal Ranking.”
“After the top three spots on the Immortal Ranking are determined, the three will represent our sect and set off to the Divine Soul Celestial Palace in ten days to compete with the disciples of the Divine Soul Celestial Palace and the Eternal Immortal Sect for a chance to enter the Battlefield of the Gods trial.”
After his words, the disciples of the Meritorious Lineage erupted in ecstatic cheers:
“Great! Our Meritorious Lineage has won!”
“Our Meritorious Lineage is the most powerful lineage in the Immortal Sect!”
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother Huangfu, I love you… hehe…”
“…”
Shen Subing raised her delicate hand, signaling the disciples to be quiet, then looked at Tan Yun, her heavenly voice ringing out, “Tan Yun, your strength is undoubtedly the best among the two million disciples of the Immortal Sect.”
Shen Subing hinted, “How about this? You should know who is second and third; let you evaluate it, and as for the competition, we can skip it.”
The reason Shen Subing said this was that the cultivation methods practiced by the disciples of the Meritorious Lineage came from Tan Yun, and she believed he knew who among Mu Mengyi's nine was the strongest.
Tan Yun understood Shen Subing's intention. He bowed and accepted the command, then looked at Mu Mengyi and the other eight on the First Holy Spirit Platform, truthfully saying, “Reporting to the chief, in my opinion, Huangfu Yu's strength should be slightly inferior to Mu Mengyi's; hence, Mu Mengyi is second on the Immortal Ranking, and Huangfu Yu is third.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Fan, Yang Chong, Liu Yiyi, and Fang Qinghan had no objections.
Instead, Huangfu Yu pouted, seemingly deep in thought.
Shen Subing gently nodded her head, then turned her delicate body back to Dantai Xuanzhong and bowed, saying, “Reporting to the sovereign, the top three on the Immortal Ranking have been determined.”
“Ha ha ha, good, very good!” Dantai Xuanzhong laughed, then stood up and declared, “Now I announce that in this Ten Veins Grand Competition, Tan Yun is first on the Immortal Ranking and is awarded a supreme grade sub-respect artifact Flying Sword.”
“Mu Mengyi is second on the Immortal Ranking and is awarded a superior grade sub-respect artifact Flying Sword.”
“Huangfu Yu is third on the Immortal Ranking and is awarded a medium grade sub-respect artifact Flying Sword.”
“Now, the three of you tell me what kind of attribute Flying Sword you want?”
Tan Yun thought of Zhong Wu Shi Yao, who had a space attribute and was a profound yin sacred body. He thus bowed and said, “Reporting to the sovereign, I would like a supreme grade sub-respect artifact Flying Sword with a space attribute, and preferably, a feminine style Flying Sword.”
Xue Ziyan, sitting below, glanced at Zhong Wu Shi Yao and whispered, “Your brother-in-law treats you well.”
Zhong Wu Shi Yao mischievously smiled, her voice as soft as a whisper, “How about I tell my sister to let Tan Yun take you in? That way, if Tan Yun has any treasures in the future, he will surely think of you first, okay?”
“Shiyao, you’re so bad.” As soon as Xue Ziyan finished speaking, Mu Mengyi's voice echoed again, “Reporting to the sovereign, I would like a superior grade sub-respect artifact Flying Sword with attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth all at once.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Ziyan noticed that Mu Mengyi was looking at her, and in that moment, her eyes welled with tears. She knew Mu Mengyi always thought of her.
Then, Huangfu Yu looked up at Dantai Xuanzhong and respectfully said, “I would like a Flying Sword with ancient and light attributes.”
