At this moment, Nangong Luo was so angry that his nose nearly twisted. He felt that his elder brother was a bit biased and was completely unconvinced about settling for second place below him.

This must be reconsidered!

"If neither of you have any objections, then it's settled. In the future, this title will be announced, and by then..."

Jiang Che smiled as he spoke. Unfortunately, before he could finish, Nangong Luo interrupted directly.

"I have objections, and a big one at that, brother. Why does this guy 'Second Brother' get to be the Second Ruler?

He just came, and his experience is much less than mine. Being the Third Ruler is barely acceptable, let alone the Second Ruler!"

"I think Little Zi is more suitable as the Third Ruler. I'll reluctantly be the Second Ruler.

As for 'Second Brother,' he's sinister and cunning; let him be the Fourth Ruler. He can come up with some nefarious schemes for our Tiger King Ridge, making the best use of his talents!"

"Actually, he won't make a great contribution, so maybe he doesn't even need to be a ruler..."

Nangong Luo couldn't help but speak out.

Upon hearing these words, Fang Yuan, who had looked smug, suddenly froze, and his expression turned gloomy.

This damned third sibling, truly venomous with his words! I really want to tear his mouth apart.

Yes, I, the Demon Monarch, have little experience, having just joined. But don't forget, I brought resources into the group!

You can't see my enormous Yin Yue Mountain, can you?

Blind, are you?

If fighting were an option, Fang Yuan would have charged at him already.

"I think Brother's decision just now is absolutely correct and doesn't need to change. Some people dreaming of becoming the Second Ruler can continue their fantasies, where anything is possible!"

Fang Yuan sneered unhappily.

"Anyway, it's unreasonable. 'Second Brother,' what makes you qualified to be the Second Ruler? Is it just because there's a 'second' in your title?"

"But I do think he's quite a bit of a fool!"

Nangong Luo glanced at Fang Yuan with disdain in his voice.

"Third Brother, don't go too far! Do you think I, the Demon Monarch, can't understand?"

This is outrageous!

Fang Yuan was nearly infuriated. Isn't it just a title? This Third Brother keeps using sarcastic remarks...

And he's been playing with communicators for who knows how long, thinking I can't tell he's insulting me!

"Brother, you can't be biased!"

Nangong Luo ignored Fang Yuan, blinking his big eyes at Jiang Che, his voice full of meaning.

Listening to the argument, Jiang Che felt helpless. He had oversimplified things before – it was his mistake.

Initially, he thought to order them by age; naturally, 'Second Brother' would be the Second Ruler, and 'Third Brother' the Third Ruler, a smooth progression.

However, he hadn't considered 'Second Brother's experience issue; 'Second Brother' had just joined Tiger King Ridge. Technically, the younger sister and he were the founders of Tiger King Ridge, with deep experience, and couldn't be ranked below a newcomer like 'Second Brother'. No wonder she was unwilling - even he wouldn't be okay with it.

Pondering for a moment, Jiang Che smiled at Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan, saying, "I wasn't thorough just now. Let's put strength over everything. If you agree, 'Third Brother' and 'Second Brother', then have a duel. The winner will be Second Ruler, and the loser will be Third Ruler. Fair and just, what do you think?"

This was the quickest, fairest method Jiang Che could think of.

After all, even though 'Second Brother' has little experience, he brought the entire Yin Yue Mountain to Tiger King Ridge, significantly boosting its strength, while 'Third Brother' was a founder, contributing greatly.

No matter which side Jiang Che chose now, the other wouldn't be satisfied, and they'd think he was biased.

So let them settle it with a contest. At the end, accept the result with no complaints.

"Brother, I have no issue."

Nangong Luo was the first to speak confidently.

Recently, his strength had grown significantly, ensuring he could defeat 'Second Brother'.

As long as he could beat him, let's see what face he has left to fight for the title of Second Ruler with me.

Afterward, Jiang Che looked at the silent Fang Yuan, his glance questioning.

"I agree too, someone better be careful; I, the Demon Monarch, am not the same as before. Don't let me beat you so badly you won't recognize your own parents!"

Fang Yuan agreed, looking at Nangong Luo with disdain, his voice carrying a touch of assured victory.

"Alright, both of you follow me outside the valley, and prepare yourselves!"

Jiang Che nodded, and then, cloaked in purple-gold Spiritual Light, he wrapped Fang Yuan and Nangong Luo, transforming into a stream of light that flew out of Peach Grove Valley.

A hundred miles away from the Peach Grove Valley, on a hill, Jiang Che gently landed with Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan.

"Alright, you may begin."

Jiang Che said, quickly retreating backward, leaving the combat space to them.

At this moment, Nangong Luo and Fang Yuan stood facing each other, eyes glinting coldly, poised for battle!

Actually, this was already their third duel.

Yet, just then, Jiang Che suddenly looked at Xiao Zi on Nangong Luo's head, emphasizing: "Hold on, let me say in advance, this time, no external help is allowed. You must rely on your true abilities to defeat the opponent."

"Alright, brother, I have no issue, Xiao Zi, you go back to your master."

Nangong Luo, understanding her brother's reminder, nodded and told Xiao Zi.

"Chirp~"

Upon hearing its name, Xiao Zi stood up, chirped, and transformed into a violet light, flying back to Jiang Che's head.

Across the way, Fang Yuan's face almost broke into a grin seeing Xiao Zi leave.

Alright, how arrogant - without that tiny bean sprout, let's see how you plan to win.

Heh heh heh... This Second Ruler title is as good as mine, I, the Demon Monarch, thought.

"Additionally, I propose not using any treasures in this fight, relying solely on raw strength to decide the winner."

"The winner becomes the Second Ruler!"

At this, Nangong Luo proposed decisively.

His decisiveness was to prove himself.

After all, their previous two fights relied on borrowing Xiao Zi's power at critical moments to defeat Fang Yuan. It felt somewhat undeserved.

Back then, 'Second Brother' also shouted in dissatisfaction, refusing to concede.

This time, Nangong Luo intended to prove definitively through raw strength that he's stronger than 'Second Brother'!

Moreover, he wanted to thoroughly subdue 'Second Brother'!

"Third Sister is as strong-willed as ever!"

Hearing this inner sentiment, Jiang Che couldn't help but sigh.

However, 'Second Brother' wasn't going to be easy to defeat!

In Jiang Che's eyes, if 'Third Sister' wanted to beat 'Second Brother,' it seemed somewhat uncertain.
