Chapter 1220 - 1219: The Title of Ten Thousand Swords King!
"Twenty-two years old, a new Youth King. In the history of the Nine Stream Assembly, this seems to be the first time, doesn’t it?"
On the distant high platform, the White Robed Swordsman revealed a hint of excitement. If Wei Wuxian had already surprised him before, then Ling Chen’s sudden emergence at this moment undoubtedly made him feel as though he had discovered an extraordinary treasure.
The Nine Stream Assembly has been held for nearly five hundred years, and there has never been such a young Youth King.
Ling Chen has set a new record.
"Indeed, this is unprecedented. Even someone as powerful as the King of Snowy Night was not spared from defeat. This truly is a battle for the ages."
The Dominator Gun Saint nodded, honestly admitting that the result of this battle far exceeded his expectations. For the younger generation to defeat a Youth King is a rare occurrence. Not to mention, Ling Chen is only twenty-two.
"This youth defeated the King of Snowy Night, sealing his king title is inevitable. What do you think his title should be?"
One of the judges looked at everyone, his face solemn.
Upon hearing this, both the White Robed Swordsman and the Dominator Gun Saint, among others, nodded seriously, realizing that when a new king ascends the throne, a title must first be bestowed. Every previous Youth King’s title was granted by them, and Ling Chen is no exception.
"Ling Chen is a Genius Swordsman and also proficient in Sword Controlling Technique. How about calling him the Sword Control King, how do you all find this?"
One of the judges pondered for a moment, then spoke.
"Sword Control King? That name isn’t quite enough. Ling Chen is an unprecedented young king, and he may very likely become a hallmark figure of the Nine Stream Assembly. Sword Control King is sufficient for ordinary kings, but for Ling Chen, it’s lacking."
The White Robed Swordsman shook his head, dismissing the title of Sword Control King.
The other judges agreed, nodding, acknowledging that Ling Chen’s acquisition of the king’s seat would indeed be a significant mark in the history of the Nine Stream Assembly, and this title needed thoughtful consideration.
"Ling Chen’s Sword Controlling Technique has reached the realm of Hundred Swords Released Together. How about calling him the Hundred Swords King?" One judge pondered briefly, then suggested.
"Hundred Swords King? Better call him Dual Swords King, more imposing."
Another judge remarked.
"Hundred Swords King and Dual Swords King are both lacking. Why not call him Ten Thousand Swords King, commanding ten thousand swords, king against fate."
The White Robed Swordsman’s eyes suddenly gleamed with inspiration.
"Ten Thousand Swords King?"
On the high platform, many judges squinted slightly, commanding ten thousand swords, king against fate; indeed, Ten Thousand Swords King perfectly fits Ling Chen’s traits, without losing any swagger, worthy of Ling Chen’s unprecedented identity as a young king.
In the central area of the summit, after defeating the King of Snowy Night, Ling Chen suddenly leaped and landed on the throne positioned in the north.
When Ling Chen sat down, a brilliantly colorful beam of light erupted from the throne, shooting towards the sky.
In many views, a colorful arc traversed through the high-hanging sun, forming an arcane sight.
The entire Spirit Mountain, and even within hundreds of miles of the mountain, witnessed this scene, stunned by this sudden arcane phenomenon.
The younger generation, in particular, raised their heads in awe, their eyes filled with excitement.
"The rainbow across the sun indicates a new Youth King has been born."
Someone exclaimed somewhere.
This rainbow across the sun is a phenomenon only seen during a king’s succession, now this sight suggests a new king has ascended.
"Who is it? Who has shaken the positions of the four Youth Kings?"
Numerous gazes fixated on the direction of the summit, looking intently, as if seeing through the thick clouds to the four thrones beyond.
"Is the new king Xuannv, or the Skyeye Marquis, maybe Wei Wuxian?"
"Most likely Xuannv, she already possesses kingly strength, her smooth succession wouldn’t be surprising."
The audience speculated the new king to be Xuannv without a doubt.
At this moment, a powerful voice from the White Robed Swordsman echoed from the nearby high platform.
"Congratulations on the birth of the youngest Genius King in the history of the Nine Stream Assembly!"
The White Robed Swordsman’s voice wrapped in True Qi quickly spread across the entire Spirit Mountain summit, so even the Divine Marquises, Heavenly Pride, Outstanding individuals below, and regions further down heard his words clearly.
"What, the youngest Genius King?"
This statement spread, shocking many of the younger generation, further affirming that the newly-born king is undoubtedly Xuannv.
"This newly ascended king, titled Ten Thousand Swords King, he will replace the King of Snowy Night, becoming this assembly’s new Genius King!"
Before the crowd’s discussions subsided, the White Robed Swordsman’s voice spread once more, stirring waves among the people.
"Ten Thousand Swords King?"
Quite a few people paused, then frowned, Xuannv titled Ten Thousand Swords King? This title doesn’t seem fitting; could it mean this newly ascended king isn’t Xuannv?
"Could it be Wei Wuxian?"
Someone raised an eyebrow, questioning.
"Wei Wuxian, he’s the Sword Demon’s Descendant. Ten Thousand Swords King certainly could be him."
This statement immediately found agreement among many, indeed, Xuannv couldn’t accept the title of Ten Thousand Swords King, which didn’t match her. If it were Wei Wuxian, it would be understandable.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the direction of the Spirit Mountain summit, the dense mist shrouding the summit unexpectedly dispersed. In the north, a massive vortex appeared, devouring all the fog; at the end of the vortex, a throne was distinctly visible.
Upon the throne, a young figure in white sat cross-legged, a powerful pressure belonging solely to a Genius King suddenly emanated from the direction of the throne, sweeping down along the vortex!
"Ten Thousand Swords King?"
Liu Mengru, Peerless Sword, Chen Qingzhi, and others raised their heads, finally seeing clearly the figure sitting on the throne, their expressions suddenly stiffened, exclaiming, "He is... Ling Chen?"
Ling Chen turned out to be the Ten Thousand Swords King?
"Is this Ten Thousand Swords King... Senior Brother Ling Chen?"
In the Second Peak Region, Chen Qingzhi and Qin Yiren also took a deep breath, showing a completely disbelieving expression, Ling Chen unexpectedly became the Ten Thousand Swords King?
This was one of the four Youth Kings!
And it didn’t stop there, this Ten Thousand Swords King is also the youngest Genius King in the history of the Nine Stream Assembly, which makes it even more terrifying.
They never imagined that this normally quite discreet Ling Chen beside them could reach such a daunting height, inspiring awe like looking up at a towering mountain.
