Chapter 1130
Fade looked at the lively audience, then turned his head to nce backstage as he vaguely felt
something. He lifted the corner of his lips and smiled.
Then, he raised his right hand and the crowd quietened down immediately.
Fade said, "I''ve defeated Song Khan so I am the Martial Soul of Jade City. Does anyone have any
objections?"
The once lively scene was silent. Everyone looked at Fade on the field and didn''t say anything.
Fade spoke again, "Whoever disagrees can challenge me on the stage."
Just the thought of challenging Fade alone could make the people shudder from fear.
Immediately, someone shouted, "I don''t object!"
"Me either!"
"We all agree! No objections!"
The rest of the people joined in once the first person started to show their stance. Eventually, all of
them chanted together, "Master Chen, the Martial Soul of Jade City! Master Chen, the Martial
Soul of Jade City."
Looking at the enthusiastic audience, Fade nodded and he beckoned to someone from backstage,
"Come out!"
Then, Lucas came out from the backstage, looking flushed. The crowd''s eyes flickered in surprise.
After all, Lucas was injured in his fight with Tobias. Yet, he came on stage in good form and it
piqued the audience''s interest.
Fade nced at the curious crowd and then said loudly, "Although I''m now the Martial Soul of Jade
City, I still have my own affairs and I can''t deal with a lot of things by myself. So, I''ll need to
nominate a deputy to help me deal with the relevant matters."
"And I choose Lucas to be my deputy. Do you have any questions?" Fade looked at the audience.
The crowd mored almost instantaneously.
"They knew each other beforehand?"
"I knew that Lucas was probably Master Chen''s underling. It looks like I''m right after all!"
"I have no question with whoever is supported by Master Chen."
"I also support Master Chen."
Many of them consented. However, surely there would be some who wouldn''t agree.
"Lucas lost just now. Is he really qualified to be the deputy?"
"So many people spent time fighting for the position, but now Master Chen wants to name Lucas
directly? I don''t think it''s really appropriate."
"Yeah, I''m afraid it''s not convincing enough!"
Fadeprehended their thoughts but he didn''t exin. He only nodded to Lucas and said, "You
may start."
Lucas nodded, took a step forward, and said loudly, "I know that some of you have doubts about my
strength. You might think that I''m not capable of being Master Chen''s deputy because I lost just
now."
"I won''t say much on this matter, but I''d like to have everyone watch what I''m going to do next,"
Lucas continued.
He easily got the crowd''s attention.
"What is he going to do? Is he going to show his strength right now?"
"He''s injured. What kind of strength can he show now? I don''t think it''ll be good enough!"
"What he said sounds like an empty promise to me. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Lucas also heard their doubts but didn''t exin much. Instead, he gathered his energy. Almost
immediately, he trembled and a burst of energy spread out and epassed the entire venue.
Everyone from the audience was startled by what they had seen.
"H-His energy is so strong."
"I can really feel the pressure!"
"Lucas'' strength seems to be stronger than before. What happened?"
While everyone was discussing, Lucas''s positive energy burst out of his palm and condensed into a
ribbon in the air before flying towards the audience below the stage.
"This is Vital Energy, the mark of a master at the Earth Level!"
"Lucas is an Earth Level master? Then how did he lose to Tobias just now?"
"No. He had a breakthrough. An impromptu one. He just achieved it!"
Amidst the discussion, Lucas shook his arm lightly and his Vital Energy formed into shape and it
brought someone to the field.
When they looked closely, that person was none other than a limping Brayden who was trying to
flee.
At this point, Brayden, who was horrified, bowed to Fade and implored for mercy, "Master Chen, I''m
sorry! Please, give me a chance and forgive me. I will never do it again!"
Fade didn''t respond to him. Instead, he just nced at Lucas. Recognizing the cue, Lucas
tranted his Vital Energy into a sharp de and wielded it to pierce Brayden''s heart.
Brayden instantly fell to the ground and his blood gushed out from the cut. His energy dissipated
and it wasn''t long before he became a cold corpse.
After killing Brayden, Lucas looked at the audience and said loudly, "This is what I said I was going
to do. Now, does anyone still have any objections? Those who object cane up and challenge
me. If I lose, the position will be yours."
Lucas'' domineering and even slightly arrogant words had quieted the audience.
The people exchanged looks but just shook their heads and retreated.
Lucas was already quite powerful when he was fighting Tobias, not to even mention that he had a
breakthrough and stepped up to the Earth Level.
No one from the audience would be a match for him.
No one came onto the stage to challenge Lucas and their unified silence eventually turned into a
unanimous answer, "No objections!"
Upon seeing this, Fade nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, I conclude that the Martial Arts
Convention at Sunset Mountain hase to an end. I, Fade Chen, will be the new Martial Soul of
Jade City, and Lucas Xie will be my deputy as well as the Guardian of Titan Studio. He will help me
manage all matters rting to it."
"Congrattions, Master Chen.
Congrattions, Guardian Xie!" Everyone chanted in unison.
Right after that, everyone turned around and started to leave.
At the outermost area, Memo and the others also turned around first and prepared to leave.
However, when Momo heard Master Chen say his name "Fade Chen" on the field, her eyes lit up.
She turned and looked at the field with curiosity and doubts before mumbling to herself, "Master
Chen is also called Fade. He has the same name as my brother-inw. Could he be my brother-in-
law?"

When Momo turned her head to look back, Fade was also staring in her direction. He moved his
lips.
Immediately, Momo, and only she alone, heard a voice, "Momo, when things are done here, I''ll
come and visit you. Be safe when you are leaving the mountain."
"This voice..." Momo was astounded when she heard the familiar voice of her brother-inw. She
looked at Fade who was standing on the stage and found that he was smiling at her. Momo gasped
in surprise, "He''s really Master Chen! He''s really my brother-inw!"
Everyone around her looked over when they heard Momo. Abell, Harper and Sonia also turned their
heads to look at her.
Then Sonia quickly held onto Memo''s arm and left, "Momo, what are you talking about? Hurry up or
else there will be a lot of people."
Seeing this, people around themughed.
"Another little girl who was charmed by Master Chen."
"By the way, my sister is single. Isn''t it great if Master Chen marries her?"
"Stop dreaming. She''s not worthy of Master Chen."
As they left the mountain, the people had fun talking rubbish with each other.
