At this moment, even Martial Artist Shen Yu fell silent.
The rest didn't even need to be mentioned.
Elder Han Ling looked at the disciple he'd been most proud of in his lifetime with an expression of utter disbelief.
"Sect Leader..." He seemed to have lost all the strength in his body, sinking slowly to the ground. "You are the Sect Leader of the Earth Martial Sect..."
The other people just stared blankly at Xu Yuan, as if unable to comprehend what was happening.
In their minds, Xu Yuan's whole life was a testament to the words "never give in."
Back when he'd first entered the sect, lacking background and an ordinary master, unable to gain any resources within the Earth Martial Sect, he'd stubbornly fought his fellow disciples of the same generation over and over. At first, he kept losing, just refusing to accept defeat, until finally he kept winning, and after his rise to fame, this became the most lauded and admired story in his renowned history.
