Chapter 1322: Chapter 1322: The Number One Genius

Fengming Immeasurable continued, "However, Ji Mingxing is kind-hearted and still spared Ji Mingkong, leaving her with her life. This can be considered utmost benevolence."

"To be honest, even I was moved by his character, hence I adopted him as my sworn son and sent him to Phoenix God College for study. Now, he has already replaced Peacock Phoenix Kong He, and I bestowed upon him the title Mingxing Crown Prince!"

"Holy Dynasty’s Saint Child!"

"My younger sister Fengming Xiao did not attend, not because she doesn’t value this wedding, but because she traveled to the White Tiger Continent in search of Medicine King Sun Ran, to craft a pill for Mingxing Crown Prince that can help him break through barriers and advance to the Cave Heaven Realm!"

"She not only approves of this marriage wholeheartedly but also holds Mingxing Crown Prince in high regard."

The words of Emperor Fengming Immeasurable instantly turned Ji Mingxing into a paragon of virtue.

As if he were an unprecedented and unparalleled genius.

Especially when he explicitly pointed out that Ji Mingxing’s talent surpassed Ling Xiao’s.

In saying so, he wasn’t entirely exaggerating; after all, six months ago Ling Xiao’s cultivation level was merely at Nine Heavy Heaven.

This indeed paled in comparison to Ji Mingxing.

But who could have anticipated that in just six months, Ling Xiao’s cultivation would undergo a qualitative leap?

In truth, even Ling Xiao himself hadn’t expected it.

But those consecutive deadly battles in Crime City, as well as the tempering he received at the Alchemy Conference, truly made him grow leaps and bounds.

Listening to Emperor Fengming Immeasurable’s remarks, the crowd began to chatter.

"A once-in-a-century genius of Heavenly Dragon Continent, truly extraordinary. To emerge so dazzlingly from such a lackluster continent, it’s truly rare!"

"Indeed, especially considering he’s the legitimate Saint Child, with the Sacred Emperor Bloodline. Now, that Heavenly Dynasty on the Heavenly Dragon Continent seems lacking in legitimacy."

"Not only does he have the title of Great Sun Realm Lord, but he’s also Holy Dynasty’s Saint Child. No wonder even the emperor values him so highly. If it were me, I’d probably marry my daughter to him too."

Of course, while some praised, others were less convinced.

"Ji Mingxing is talented, but claiming he’s number one is a bit premature. Six months have passed, hasn’t Ling Xiao undergone significant changes? What can Ji Mingxing compare with?"

"Exactly! If we’re talking about talent, Ling Xiao should be chosen. Who else but him has achieved great feats, been named King of Heavenly Dragon, overturned the True Demon Empire using the Northern Desert Army, and established the Heavenly Dynasty Empire? That’s truly unparalleled brilliance!"

"The emperor’s words are quite inappropriate. If Ling Xiao returns, he likely wouldn’t dare say such things."

"Can’t you see the emperor is creating competition for Ling Xiao?"

Whispered discussions swirled, and indeed some had discerned the crux of the matter.

Ji Mingxing was the sword Fengming Immeasurable had carefully nurtured to confront Ling Xiao!

However, Ling Xiao let out an icy smile.

"The schemes you’ve painstakingly crafted, I’ll destroy them entirely today, leaving you no room for your delusions anymore!"

He waited patiently, anticipating the appearance of the bride and groom.

"I won’t waste words—let the bridegroom and bride make their entrance now."

Upon receiving word, as the couple was about to appear, Fengming Immeasurable smiled faintly and returned to his seat.

With the sound of ceremonial fireworks, Ji Mingxing emerged carrying the bride, his face beaming with joy.

The bride wore a red veil over her head.

Though one couldn’t see her features clearly, her figure wrapped in the bright red robe was undoubtedly alluring.

"A match of talent and beauty—the perfect pair!"

Many people began singing their praises even before seeing Fengming Lian’s appearance.

Fengming Lian’s reputation might be unclear to them, but Ji Mingxing indeed looked refined, outstandingly elegant, and strikingly handsome.

Standing on the red carpet, he exuded an unmistakable air of pride.

No wonder the Great Sun Realm Lord took notice of him and accepted him as a disciple.

Ling Xiao glanced at Ji Mingxing, finding an eight-point resemblance to Ji Mingkong. Judging by his Sacred Emperor Bloodline claims, they seemed truthful.

Still, he needed to consult Ji Mingkong privately about what truly happened back then.

No matter the truth—even if the rumors outside were accurate—he would cripple Ji Mingxing.

The reason was simple: Ji Mingkong was his friend.

No reason his friend should be harmed while he stood idly by.

"I won’t kill you. That counts as mercy, as utmost benevolence, doesn’t it?"

Ling Xiao smirked faintly, recalling the emperor’s earlier words with heavy sarcasm.

"Bridegroom, care to share your feelings? You’re marrying a beauty today; surely you can’t have nothing to say?"

Someone from the audience shouted boldly.

Ji Mingxing smirked proudly and said, "I am Ji Mingxing of the Ji Clan! Sacred Emperor Bloodline! The Holy Dynasty’s legitimate Saint Child!

"Since childhood, I trained under the Great Sun Realm Lord. Learning of the Holy Dynasty’s fall later brought me great sorrow, which compelled me to step forward—to uncover the Heavenly Emperor’s deceitful mask and restore the Holy Dynasty to its former glory on the Heavenly Dragon Continent."

"Many have said I am a once-in-a-millennium talent of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. I find that exaggerated—perhaps a once-in-a-century genius is more apt."

"I’ve been told that during the Holy Dynasty’s Martial Arts Festival, someone named Ling Xiao defeated Ji Mingkong and claimed the title of number one."

"I sought him out at Qingxu College, but the man was nowhere to be found. I heard he didn’t return to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire either. Left with no choice, I sparred with Ji Mingkong instead."

"To my shock, she harbored malice and turned vicious upon learning my identity, intending to kill me. I had no choice but to cripple her cultivation. But it was for her own good—to reflect upon her actions."

"And today, to have the fortune of marrying Fengming Lian as my wife, I am truly blessed beyond measure. I vow never to let her down in this lifetime!"

"Dominant!"

"Well said!"

"Mingxing Crown Prince truly sets an example for our generation!"

"Mingxing Crown Prince and Princess Lian’er will surely become a heavenly couple, envied by all!"

"Not only does Mingxing Crown Prince excel in martial arts and moral character, but even his luck is unparalleled. Truly enviable!"

For a moment, an array of praises echoed, and even those who felt Ji Mingxing was undeserving refrained from voicing dissent.

After all, both the Great Sun Realm Lord and Fengming Immeasurable were present. Disrespecting Ji Mingxing still required giving them proper honor.

However, some people simply refused to remain silent.

"Absurd! Pure nonsense!"

A discordant voice erupted among the crowd, followed by the resounding cry of a dragon. A young man leapt onto the red carpet.

"Who are you?"

Ji Mingxing’s face darkened with murder intent.

To think someone dared disrupt his wedding—how could he not be furious?

"Joshua Long! A disciple from Qingxu College and a friend of Ji Mingkong!"

The youth was encircled by Dragon Qi, emanating immense power.

Even Ling Xiao, observing from below, couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

This Dragon Clan member truly stood apart. Compared to humans, their cultivation progress was remarkably swift.

"Ah, just a friend of that woman. What do you intend to do?"

Ji Mingxing sneered dismissively.

A mere friend of Ji Mingkong? How powerful could he possibly be? Ji Mingxing felt no fear.

"What do I intend to do? Minɡ Konɡ clearly spared you in that duel, considering your bond as siblings and unwilling to harm you. Yet you, out of nowhere, ambushed her, inflicting severe injuries and even crippling her cultivation. If Vice President Feng Qingyan hadn’t intervened, wouldn’t she have perished by your hand?"

Joshua Long bellowed with rage, his voice filled with indignation.
