So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Next up are the top three that are most anticipated.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the topic, wondering in their hearts who would top the list, would it be the dark horse Ling Jiuan, the powerful Chen Yan, or the gifted Ling Jiuxi?

"Doesn't Ling Jiuan have spiritual roots? How could she possibly be in the top three?"

"Yeah, this is incredible. Not to mention Ling Jiuan, even Ling Jiuxi has surpassed the second son of Ling. This year's secret realm trial is really amazing."

……

There were whispers among the crowd, surprise and curiosity intertwined in the air.

Everyone is guessing who will be the final winner of this trial.

Chen Yan stood aside, listening to the discussions around him. He couldn't help but curl his lips, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

This trial seemed to be more interesting than he had expected.

But the first place has already been decided.

Ling Jiuxi looked at Ling Jiuan with a smug look on his face.

She smiled provocatively.

"Ling Jiuan, it seems you still have a trick up your sleeve! But the first place will definitely be mine."

Ling Jiuan responded indifferently.

"Really? Let's wait and see."

At this time, Ling Jiurong also looked at Ling Jiuan, with some inexplicable emotions in her expression.

She actually made it into the top three?

This result was indeed beyond her expectations.

Then she turned to look at her father Ling Changfeng, her tone full of curiosity.

"Father, who do you think is better, the third sister or the fifth sister?"

In her heart, she actually hoped that Ling Jiuxi could win.

How could an unlucky person who killed his mother be worthy of winning the first place?

Ling Changfeng looked at his two daughters calmly. Although he was more inclined towards Ling Jiuxi in his heart, he said.

"It doesn't matter who it is."

After all, no matter what the outcome, it is the glory of the Ling family.

However, he couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

He was naturally aware of Jiuxi's strength, but the emergence of Jiuan, the dark horse, did surprise him.

This trial seemed to contain some unexpected surprises.

Amid everyone's anticipation and speculation, the old man finally walked to the front of the stage, ready to announce the final result.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for the name to appear.

The old man stood on the high platform, glanced at the crowd, and finally spoke calmly.

"I'm sure everyone is curious about who will be the No. 1 this year."

He paused slightly, as if enjoying the breathless silence that everyone was waiting for at this moment.

"Before that, I want to keep you in suspense."

There was a sly gleam in the old man's eyes, as if he was sharing a secret that was about to be revealed with everyone.

"This year's No. 1 has received a spiritual bead of a quality not available in previous years. It can be said that this year's No. 1 is the most well-deserved No. 1 in the past decade."

After hearing this, Jiuxi became even more certain that he would be the first.

After all, the Red Feathered Beast Spirit Pearl in her hand is extremely rare in the world, and its preciousness is self-evident.

She looked at her father Ling Changfeng confidently with a proud smile on her face.

"Father, my daughter will definitely be the first this time."

Her words were full of determination and confidence.

Ling Changfeng couldn't help but smile when he looked at his daughter's proud face.

"You have this confidence, which is rare."

His eyes were full of admiration for his daughter.

After saying that, he turned to look at Ling Jiuan beside him, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Jiuan, what about you?"

Ling Jiuan glanced at Ling Changfeng indifferently and spoke in a calm tone.

"I only look at the results, not empty words."

Hearing this, Ling Changfeng was stunned.

He looked at his daughter in front of him with an indifferent expression, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Ling Jiuan looks very much like her mother.

If she were still here...

But Ling Changfeng was only stunned for a moment and quickly looked away.

He knew very well that this was not the time to reminisce about the past.

He refocused his attention on the upcoming results, looking forward to the old man's next announcement.

At this time, Ling Jiuxi was looking at the old man with anticipation, and couldn't wait to hear his name being announced as the first.

The confidence and pride in her heart were beyond words, as if this first place was already hers.

The old man smiled and announced calmly.

"The third place is from the Ling family, Ling Jiuxi. He has 120 ordinary spirit beads and one foundation-building peak red-feathered beast spirit bead."

Hearing this, the smile on Ling Jiuxi's face froze instantly.

She widened her eyes and looked at the old man in disbelief, as if she could not accept this result.

"Only the third? How is that possible?"

She murmured to herself, her face full of reluctance and confusion.

"How could Ling Jiuan and Chen Yan have a spirit bead of higher quality than the Red Feather Beast?"

In contrast, Ling Jiuan looked calm, as if she had already anticipated this result and didn't care about Ling Jiuxi's ranking at all.

Ling Jiuxi's dissatisfaction and confusion were evident in her words. She looked up at the old man on the stage with a hint of questioning in her tone.

"Mr. Weng, did you say something wrong? How could I be the third? I should be..."

The old man smiled and interrupted her.

"Miss Ling San, please be patient. The result of the trial is fair and just, and there will be no mistake."

Although his voice was gentle, there was an unmistakable coldness in his tone.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ling Jiuxi's face. She wanted to say something else but was stopped by Ling Changfeng.

"Jiuxi, don't be rude!"

Ling Jiuze also quickly pulled her back.

"Jiuxi, come back. The result has been announced, we just need to accept it."

Although he couldn't accept it, Jiuan's ranking moved into the top two.

But if you lose your temper at this time, you will offend a lot of people.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ling Jiuxi could only suppress his dissatisfaction and silently retreated to Ling Jiuze's side.

Her eyes were always fixed on the old man on the stage, still hoping that a miracle would happen and change the outcome.

However, it did not.

Because of Ling Jiuxi's disturbance, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The smile on Mr. Weng's face disappeared, replaced by a look of majesty.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning the crowd as if he wanted to see through everyone's heart.

"Everything that happened here has been recorded on the Image Stone. If you have any doubts, feel free to check it out."

Mr. Weng's voice was loud and clear, echoing in everyone's ears and shocking everyone present.

Hearing this, Ling Changfeng's face turned a little ugly.

He glanced at Ling Jiuxi coldly, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Watch your mouth!"

Being scolded by his father, Ling Jiuxi subconsciously shrank his neck, and his original arrogance disappeared in an instant.

She lowered her head and dared not speak again, like a child who had done something wrong.

At this point, the tension in the air reached its peak, and everyone held their breath, afraid of missing the next announcement.

After a brief silence, Mr. Weng finally spoke again and announced the second place.
