"True Master, what is your opinion on this matter..."
Li Chen’s words were entirely heard by Ningxu True Master.
However, Ningxu True Master didn’t even open his eyes, responding indifferently, "This is a good thing. Finalizing the successor to the Lordship early eliminates the need for excessive scheming and infighting, allowing everyone to focus on cultivation."
"As for Li Guang, Li Feng, and the others, you don’t need to worry."
"Three days from now, when the selection for the Lord’s successor begins, you will be the only choice!"
Ningxu True Master’s voice was calm.
But the meaning behind his words was by no means modest.
Instead, it brimmed with confidence! The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
In fact, in Ningxu True Master’s eyes, the position of the Lord’s successor for Li Chen seemed as easy as picking something out of a pocket.
It was completely within reach!
"Three days from now, I shall count on your aid, True Master!"
Li Chen respectfully saluted.
Receiving Ningxu True Master’s assurance, a glimmer of excitement appeared on Li Chen’s face.
He understood very well.
Once Ningxu True Master took action, everything would fall into place!
Not just Li Feng or Li Chen—
Among the Li family, there were many other outstanding descendants who aspired to the position of Lord.
Each began employing their methods, recruiting experts, and making preparations for the grand event three days later.
Time flew by, and three days passed in a flash.
Li Guang arrived outside Lu Changsheng’s residence.
Li Guang did not knock on the door but stood quietly outside, waiting.
Lu Changsheng glanced at Li Guang.
With his Perception Domain, Lu Changsheng naturally knew Li Guang had arrived.
"Brother Li, let’s go."
Lu Changsheng said indifferently.
"Very well, I shall rely on you today, Brother Lu."
Li Guang took a deep breath and then walked forward together with Lu Changsheng, striding grandly toward the Martial Arts Arena of the Li family.
The Li family had a Martial Arts Arena that was both vast and spacious.
And since it was called the Martial Arts Arena, it was naturally no ordinary place.
Layer after layer of Arrays were arranged within.
These Arrays could allow Dao Foundation experts to fight to their heart’s content.
Of course, that was the extent of their capabilities.
While the Arrays were undoubtedly formidable, unless someone specifically activated and maintained them—
Divine Power Realm strength alone was sufficient to destroy the Arrays.
Major events of the Li family were almost always announced in the Martial Arts Arena.
And a competition for the Lord’s position naturally could not avoid battles.
The Martial Arts Arena was the most fitting location.
When Lu Changsheng and Li Guang arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, they found it already teeming with people, densely packed like a tide.
These individuals were mostly members of the Li family.
The selection of the Lord’s successor was a significant event for the entire Li family, and naturally, it required the witnesses of the Li family’s descendants!
In the Martial Arts Arena, many Li family descendants noticed Li Guang.
For a moment, the arena buzzed with whispers.
"Li Guang has arrived."
"It’s said that the reason the clan elders and the Lord have so quickly organized this public selection for the Lord’s successor is actually to pave the way for Li Guang."
"Li Guang, huh? He’s never been able to advance to the Divine Power Realm in his life—how can he become the Lord?"
"Hehe, so what if Li Guang’s father is the current Lord? There are still the clan elders, after all. It’s not like the Lord can dominate everything. Whether he can become the successor will still depend on Li Guang himself!"
"I heard Li Guang has managed to secure the backing of a mysterious expert..."
"A mysterious expert? Across the entirety of Heavenly Saint City, Divine Power Martial Artists and Golden Core True Masters of such caliber are all renowned figures. What qualifications does Li Guang have to recruit such an expert?"
"Exactly! What mysterious expert? Once one reaches the level of a Golden Core True Master or a Divine Power Martial Artist, it’s almost impossible to remain truly anonymous; they can’t hide their reputation..."
The discussions among the Li family descendants reached Li Guang’s ears naturally.
In truth, these remarks were very unfavorable for Li Guang.
After all, everyone knew Li Guang was a frivolous wastrel who had long since "given up"; what qualifications did he have to vie for the Lord’s position?
The more authority Li Chengwu used to back him, the more resentment the Li family descendants directed at Li Guang.
As a result, the ordinary descendants’ impression of Li Guang only worsened.
But Li Guang paid no mind to these comments.
In actuality, no amount of gossip could truly affect Li Guang. At most, it would sour his mood or destabilize his emotions—but it had no bearing on the struggle for the Lord’s position.
What determined the outcome of the succession were Li Chengwu and the Li family’s clan elders!
And behind every clan elder, there were factions representing various forces of the Li family.
The opinions of ordinary descendants?
Utterly insignificant!
The two arrived at a reserved area by the Martial Arts Arena.
"Brother Lu, please take your seat."
Li Guang gestured toward a nearby chair and spoke to Lu Changsheng.
Such treatment was reserved for only the most elite Divine Power experts and Golden Core True Masters.
Li Guang’s consideration for Lu Changsheng was meticulous in every respect.
True courtesy, leaving no room for negligence.
Many noticed the respectful way Li Guang treated Lu Changsheng, and a sharp glint flashed through their eyes.
"Li Guang’s attitude toward this man is so earnest, so deferential, and this man is a Divine Power Martial Artist. It can’t be wrong—this must be the mysterious expert Li Guang recruited!"
"I’ve heard this individual has a rather enigmatic origin. When he first appeared in the Battlefield, he claimed consecutive victories in ten matches and even became the King of the Fighting Arena! And now look—how much time has even passed? He’s already ascended to the Divine Power Realm."
"This Lu Changsheng likely condensed his Divine Power Fruit before entering the Battlefield. He only engaged there to earn Spirit Stones, to purchase Heavenly Spirit Water, and to refine his Dao Fruit into a Divine Power Fruit."
"This man is likely a top-tier prodigy from some unassuming region. Such talents from Initial Dao Sacred Lands may seem moderate at first glance, but once they encounter an opportunity, they can truly soar to unprecedented heights."
