NOVEL NEXT Chapter 218: The Ling Yue Clan's Shock
Everyone inside the hall, including Elder Su and Ai Yu, was also in disbelief. Their eyes were filled with awe and surprise as they looked at Luo Chen. This young man had defeated the family's most outstanding new talent, the "War God," in such an astonishing way; it was nothing short of a miracle!
Luo Chen, however, just stood there calmly, as if everything had been within his expectations. His gaze was calm and profound, as if telling everyone: this is just the beginning.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Ling Yue Clan became exceptionally heavy. Everyone realized that this young man named Luo Chen would be an important figure in the future of their family. His strength and talent left them shocked and awed, filling them with anticipation for the family's future.
"This young man..." Ling Yue Ming, Carefree Meng Lan's father, spoke slowly, his words revealing an undeniable surprise. His gaze was locked onto Luo Chen, as though wanting to see through this young man. His breathing was also unusually erratic, showing his inner shock.
Ling Yue Ming turned his head to look at his daughter's proud face, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. Carefree Meng Lan had always believed in Luo Chen's strength, but as her father, he could never fully believe it. However, witnessing Luo Chen defeat Sima Gun with a single move, he had to reevaluate the strength of this young man.
After a while, Ling Yue Ming heaved a small sigh, seemingly regretting his previous doubts. Meanwhile, the brawny man, Ling Yuehu, although shocked, expressed unexpected straightforwardness.
"Good, very good! To defeat my pride, my son, in one move, I, Ling Yuehu, admit it!" Ling Yuehu exclaimed angrily, his voice revealing recognition and respect for Luo Chen. He abruptly picked up the still-unconscious Sima Gun and left the hall without looking back. All eyes followed his departure, and the hall fell into silence.
Only the Thunderstorm, leaning against the doorway, had a mocking smile on his lips. He had been observing the match quietly, having already anticipated Luo Chen's strength. In his view, it was like child's play for the Four-star Peak Soul Warrior Luo Chen to defeat the Two-star Soul Warrior Sima Gun. However, he did not reveal this disdain, only standing quietly at the doorway as if waiting for something.
In fact, Luo Chen was unaware that his strength had not fallen to a Three-star Soul Warrior, but had only dropped by a star from Five-star. Only a few people knew this detail, and Thunderstorm was one of them. He was well aware of Luo Chen's potential and talent, so he was not surprised by the outcome of this match.
"Dad, I told you, Brother Luo Chen is very strong, now do you believe it?" Carefree Meng Lan wrapped her arms around Luo Chen's shoulders and said to Ling Yue Ming. Her face was full of pride and joy, as if Luo Chen's victory was also her victory.
Ling Yue Ming nodded, the facts undeniable. Luo Chen's strength was already in front of him, and he could no longer ignore the presence of this young man. At the same time, there indeed existed a rift between him and his third brother Ling Yuehu. Otherwise, why would Carefree Meng Lan bring an outsider to defeat her third uncle's son? The reason behind it was only known to them.
However, at this moment, Su Lan Ai Yu, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke: "Naxue (Carefree Meng Lan's courtesy name), you said you also invited a family Guardian, why haven't we seen him?" He had long noticed the Thunderstorm at the door, just playing dumb. His inner curiosity was piqued by this cold and eerie man. Someone qualified to be the chief Guardian of the Ling Yue Clan must at least have Soul King-level strength. This was great news for Su Lan Ai Yu, who had always longed for the strong to join.
As soon as Su Lan Ai Yu finished speaking, all eyes fell on the Thunderstorm leaning at the door. Ling Yue Ming followed their gaze, and when he saw the Thunderstorm, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He clearly had not expected that the man silently standing at the door was the family Guardian mentioned by Carefree Meng Lan.
The Thunderstorm, feeling everyone's gaze, did not appear at all uneasy. He slowly entered the hall, his eyes sweeping over everyone, finally resting on Luo Chen. He nodded slightly, as a greeting, then turned to Ling Yue Ming and Elder Su.
"Patriarch Ling Yue, Elder Su, I am Thunderstorm. Thanks to Miss Carefree's regard, I have taken the position of Guardian for the Ling Yue Clan." Thunderstorm's voice was cold and firm, exuding an undeniable majesty.
Ling Yue Ming and Elder Su exchanged a glance, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Although they had long heard of Thunderstorm's great name, seeing him in person was still surprising. Thunderstorm's strength and reputation were legendary in the Soul Cultivation Realm, and his joining undoubtedly raised the strength of the Ling Yue Clan to a new height.
"Welcome, Guardian Lei, to the Ling Yue Clan!" Ling Yue Ming was the first to respond, warmly extending his hand to shake Thunderstorm's. Elder Su followed suit, expressing his own welcome.
