No. 3, Yingshalou, Ouyang Moying.

Ouyang Moying's face was expressionless, his figure drifting towards him like a ghost. The Great Elder said solemnly, "Ouyang Moying, your mastery of the assassination techniques at Shadow Killing Tower has reached perfection, and your concealment techniques are unparalleled. However, in a head-on confrontation, your techniques lack a bit of power. If you can address this shortcoming, you will be hard to beat." Ouyang Moying nodded slightly and said coldly, "I will take your words to heart, Elder."

The crowd below the stage was amazed, "Ouyang Moying from Shadow Killing Tower is truly mysterious." "I really want to see his assassination skills." Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity and awe, and they were also eagerly looking forward to the announcement of the top two.

No. 2, Shadow Killing Tower, Shi Sang.

Shi Sang stepped forward with a steady, composed demeanor. The Great Elder, his gaze filled with admiration, said, "Shi Sang, you've mastered all kinds of killing moves in Shadow Killing Tower to perfection, demonstrating meticulous deliberation and decisiveness. However, when facing top-tier opponents, you need to maintain a calmer mindset to further your path to the pinnacle of martial arts." Shi Sang bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder. I will diligently cultivate and continuously improve myself."

The people in the audience were whispering to each other, "The Shadow Killing Tower is really full of talented people. The top two places are from them. And I heard that Shi Sang is the deputy leader of the Shadow Killing Tower. No wonder he is so powerful!" "I wonder who will be the first place. It's really exciting." The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense. Everyone stared at the elder, waiting for him to announce the winner of the first place.

Luo Lingshan was filled with resentment when she heard Shi Sang achieve such excellent results. Anything connected to Xing Xuanli burned with a nameless fire. She gritted her teeth, "Why are people related to Xing Xuanli stealing all the limelight again? How am I, Luo Lingshan, inferior to them?" Her eyes were filled with envy and resentment, and her hands clenched unconsciously, as if she wanted to crush this anger within her grasp.

Luo Lingshan secretly swore in her heart: "I must surpass them, let everyone see how powerful I am, and let Xing Xuanli and everyone around her be stepped on by me." Her expression seemed a little distorted because of extreme resentment, and everyone around her could feel the hostility emanating from her.

A junior sister from the Lingxiao Sect stepped forward to comfort her, "Senior sister, don't be discouraged."

Luo Lingshan glared at her junior sister fiercely and said unhappily, "Don't bother me!" The junior sister shrank back in fear, but still mustered up the courage to continue, "Senior sister, even if we didn't get the ideal ranking this time, we still have another chance. With your talent and hard work, you will definitely surpass them in the future."

Luo Lingshan snorted coldly: "What do you know? This failure has made me lose face. How could Shi Sang be ranked ahead of me! And Xing Xuanli is always better than me." The junior sister said cautiously: "Senior sister, maybe we were just unlucky this time. Let's go back and practice hard, and we will be able to avenge our previous shame." Luo Lingshan bit her lip, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Forget it, you go down first, let me be alone." The junior sister nodded helplessly, turned and left.

An Lingyan said excitedly, "Sister Shi Sang is so great!" Her little face was filled with admiration and joy, her eyes were shining, and she was full of admiration for Shi Sang.

Xing Xuanli cast an approving look at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes full of recognition and appreciation for Shi Sang.

An Lingyan blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "I wonder what Sister A Li's grades are?

Everyone was curious about the performance of the new Palace Master of the Sun and Moon Palace. They whispered to each other, guessing, and their eyes occasionally cast towards Xing Xuanli, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

The presiding elder continued: "No. 1, Sun Moon Palace, Xing Xuanli,

As soon as this voice came out, the whole audience fell silent, and then burst into exclamations and cheers. Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, and they all focused on Xing Xuanli.

Xing Xuanli walked calmly onto the stage with graceful yet resolute steps. The presiding elder, his gaze filled with admiration, said, "Xing Xuanli, after five years of training, you have returned from Sun and Moon Palace with your cultivation techniques reaching the pinnacle of perfection. Your internal strength is immense, and your techniques are endlessly varied. And you have faced every challenge with composure, demonstrating remarkable wisdom and courage. You are truly a leader among the younger generation, and this first place is well-deserved!" Xing Xuanli bowed slightly and said politely, "Thank you for the praise, Elder. I will continue to work hard and live up to everyone's expectations."

Cheers rose from the audience, and the Sun Moon Palace disciples were incredibly excited, their pride and pride evident in their words. Someone excitedly said, "The Palace Master's achievements over the past five years are astonishing!" Others exclaimed, "As expected of the Palace Master of our Sun Moon Palace! Such talent and perseverance are truly impressive!"

When the elder called out "No. 1, Sun and Moon Palace, Xing Xuanli", Luo Lingshan refused to accept it.

She stood up suddenly, her face flushed red, and shouted angrily: "Why is it her again! There must be something fishy going on!" Everyone around was startled by her sudden outburst and looked at her in surprise.

Luo Lingshan stared intently at Xing Xuanli on the stage, gritting her teeth and saying, "I knew that anyone related to her would get the best! How am I, Luo Lingshan, inferior to her?"

The fellow disciples from the Lingxiao Sect nearby quickly pulled her back and said, "Junior sister, don't be impulsive. This is a fair judgment from the elders."

Luo Lingshan shook off their hands with force, but still refused to give in: "Fair? I think it's partiality! I don't accept it, I don't accept it!" Her voice became sharp and piercing because of anger.

The elder of Lingyun Sect said, "Why don't you believe it?" He looked at Luo Lingshan sternly, his voice full of majesty and questioning.

Luo Lingshan was stunned for a moment by this sudden question, but soon she stiffened her neck and replied, "I just don't believe it! This result is too unfair. How could Xing Xuanli be so lucky every time?"

The Lingyun Sect elder snorted coldly, "This ranking is the result of a comprehensive evaluation by many elders. How can you be so unreasonable here? If you don't accept it, show your true ability to prove yourself instead of making trouble here."

Luo Lingshan was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she couldn't find the words to refute for a moment, so she could only glare at the elders and Xing Xuanli on the stage.

Seeing Luo Lingshan persisting, Xing Xuanli said calmly: "I know Miss Luo has objections to my grades, but it doesn't matter. The results are in front of you, and they are obtained by strength, not by verbal disputes. If Miss Luo feels unfair, she can surpass me through her own efforts next time, instead of losing her composure and making a scene at this moment and losing her demeanor." Xing Xuanli's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Her expression was still calm, as if Luo Lingshan's noise did not affect her at all.

The Lingxiao Sect also said indignantly: "Perhaps the Regent is helping her."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar. Xing Xuanli's eyes turned cold as she looked at the people of Lingxiao Sect and said, "Don't make such unfounded claims without any evidence. I, Xing Xuanli, have come this far through my own hard work and strength. It has nothing to do with the Regent."

At this time, the scene became increasingly chaotic, with people talking about it.

Yun Mohan (Nangong Han) said: "Who said Li'er relies on me? I have become Li'er's support." His voice was not loud, but it carried unquestionable majesty, and his eyes were cold as he swept over those who made random guesses.

Everyone was intimidated by his aura, and for a moment, they were silent. Yun Mohan continued, "Li'er's efforts and achievements are obvious to all. Don't judge others by your own standards."

The Grand Elder of Lingxiao Sect said, "I heard that the Star Palace Master was born in the Duanmu family and was unable to cultivate luck since birth." There was a hint of doubt and inquiry in his words.

Xing Xuanli was about to speak when a voice came from a distance: "Who said she can't practice luck since she was a child." A man in white slowly walked into everyone's sight.

He stood tall and straight, with a distinguished demeanor and a gentle smile on his face, his eyes fixed firmly on Xing Xuanli. Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they secretly speculated about his identity.

The man walked over to Xing Xuanli, slightly turning to face the crowd, and said, "Palace Master Xing's past hardships cannot define her future. She has achieved her current success through her unyielding will and unremitting efforts."

Everyone whispered, "Is this Gongye Qingge, the Netherworld Peak Master of the Heavenly Dao Sword Sect? Judging from his impressive aura, he must be here for the Star Palace Master."

"I heard that the Lord of Nether Peak has extremely high attainments in the way of the sword. He usually stays at home and rarely goes out, but he unexpectedly showed up here today."

"Could it be that he has some connection with the Star Palace Master?"

"Who knows? But judging from the situation, this matter is probably not simple."

Everyone was talking and guessing, their eyes moving back and forth between Xing Xuanli, the Lord of Lan Youming Peak and the others, and the atmosphere on the scene became more and more subtle.

Xing Xuanli bowed slightly and said, "Junior Master." Her voice was clear and respectful, with a gentle smile on her face.

The Blue Nether Peak Master nodded slightly, his eyes revealing concern, and said, "Li'er, don't pay attention to these idle words. Your efforts and achievements are obvious to all."

Xing Xuanli nodded gently and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Master. Li'er understands."

Xing Xuanli bowed slightly and said, "Junior Master." Everyone was stunned when they heard Xing Xuanli address Gongye Qingge, and then began to whisper.

"So this is Master Xinggong's junior uncle. No wonder he came forward to speak for her."

"Looking at this situation, the relationship between them is very close."

"This Gongye Qingge, as the head of the Netherworld Peak of the Heavenly Dao Sword Sect, rarely shows up in public. He showed up today for the Star Palace Master. There must be something hidden behind this."

"Perhaps it's because Palace Master Xing has the support of the Heavenly Dao Sword Sect behind him that he was able to achieve such results."

Various speculations and discussions spread among the crowd, but Xing Xuanli and Gongye Qingge remained unmoved, their expressions still calm and composed.
