Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled when he saw the attitude that Zuo Qing treated He Dong with.
Looks like this Senior Sister Zuo Qing of his still found it difficult to liberate herself from the fact of losing at the hands of He Dong during the outer court martial competition.
At that time, it was only because of a momentary slip of Zuo Qing’s that she lost at the hands of He Dong…
Otherwise, the two of them might not be able to decide on a victor.
He Dong laughed bitterly and glanced at Duan Ling Tian, seeking for help.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Zuo Qing and lightly smiled. "Senior Sister Zuo Qing, there’s something you might not know… He Dong has already broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage a few days ago."
Zuo Qing’s expression froze when she heard Duan Ling Tian, as she obviously never imagined that He Dong would break through a step quicker than her.
After a moment, Zuo Qing looked at He Dong again and snorted lowly.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, but she had to admit it.
Even if He Dong was purely lucky when he defeated her in the outer court martial competition that day, but now, He Dong had broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage and wasn’t at the same level as she was. Thus, he was able to defeat her extremely easily.
"Hmph!" Right at this moment, a cold snort sounded out nearby, then a familiar and ear piercing voice sounded out. "He Dong, I never expected that you’ve broken through as well… Let’s have a spar if we have the chance?"
Duan Ling Tian frowned.
Without seeing the person, and only hearing his voice, Duan Ling Tian had already discerned who the owner of the voice was.
Hu Xue Feng!
The Personal Disciple of the Merak Peak’s Master.
He was able to perceive from what Hu Xue Feng said now, that Hu Xue Feng has already broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage.
Hu Xue Feng has just stepped onto the Test Platform now and obviously heard the conversation between Duan Ling Tian and Zuo Qing. He walked over with large strides then looked at Zuo Qing, and his eyes narrowed. "Zuo Qing, between the few of us now, it seems that only you haven’t broken through… You need to work hard properly. Haha…" He Xue Feng’s words were filled with ridicule.
"Hu Xue Feng!" Zuo Qing’s delicate and beautiful face sank, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have rage arisen within.
"What? Getting angry from embarrassment?" Hu Xue Feng laughed. "Zuo Qing, it’s not that I’m looking down on you… Even if I didn’t break through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, you’re still not a match for me. As for now, you’re at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage. I, Hu Xue Feng, only need a single sword strike to defeat you!"
Zuo Qing was angered to the point her delicate figure trembled, and a slightly livid expression appeared on her beautiful face as he said coldly, "You can try!"
"Happy to accompany you." Hu Xue Feng laughed brilliantly, a slight arrogance was mixed between his brows, and he completely looked down upon Zuo Qing.
Meanwhile, the other outer court disciple on the Test Platform that intended to participate in the inner court disciple test had noticed the events here, and gathered over to watch the scene…
Right when everyone thought that Hu Xue Feng would battle Zuo Qing.
"Hmph!" A cold snort that seemed as if it sounded out from a thaw hole, brought about extreme icy coldness that caused the bodies of the people present to stiffen, and be unable to refrain from shivering for a while.
For a moment, the gazes of everyone present descended onto Duan Ling Tian who was beside Zuo Qing.
This cold snort was precisely emitted by Duan Ling Tian.
Zuo Qing was the Senior Sister of Li Fei.
Li Fei, was Duan Ling Tian’s woman.
Under the extension of his love towards Li Fei, Duan Ling Tian naturally took Zuo Qing to be his own Senior Sister, now, his Senior Sister was provoked and humiliated before him….
With his temper, could he endure it?
The answer was no.
"Hu Xue Feng!" Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was slightly cold as it descended onto Hu Xue Feng, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smiled. "Even if you broke through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, so what? Do you believe that I only need a single sword strike to kill you!?"
Only need a single sword strike to kill you!
Duan Ling Tian’s clear-cut words entered into Hu Xue Feng’s ears, causing his face to stiffen, and fierce lights shot out in all directions from his eyes.
Hu Xue Feng’s was angered to the point his body started to tremble, and he was enraged to the utmost limit.
"Duan Ling Tian, what are you complacent about!? You merely consumed a Profound Origin Fruit to possess your current cultivation. If it wasn’t for that, why would I, Hu Xue Feng, need to be afraid of a sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple like you!?" Hu Xue Feng’s face sank, and his icy cold eyes stared fixedly at Duan Ling Tian.
He had heard of the matter of Duan Ling Tian breaking through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage one month ago…
At that time, the flames of his rage soared into the sky!
As far as he was concerned, that Profound Origin Fruit was supposed to be his, and it was Duan Ling Tian who appeared midway to seize it from him.
Otherwise, one he consumed the Profound Origin Fruit, his cultivation might have already broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage!
"Haha…" Duan Ling Tian couldn’t refrain from laughing when he heard Hu Xue Feng, and after he laughed, his eyes squinted as they descended onto Hu Xue Feng. "Hu Xue Feng, I was only a sixth level of the Origin Core Stage outer court disciple during the outer court martial competition that day. You were a lofty seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple, why didn’t you dare fight me?
"Now, do you think that because you’ve broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, you’ve become confident and think that I who was at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage at that time isn’t a match for you?" As Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the cold smile on the corners of his mouth grew colder.
"Of course!" Hu Xue Feng sneered, and his eyes revealed a trace of a cold light. "If you’re still a sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist, the current me only needs a single sword strike to kill you!"
"Shameless!" Zuo Qing couldn’t refrain from spitting when she heard Hu Xue Feng.
The spectating crowd of outer court disciples now had weird expressions as they looked at Hu Xue Feng.
When this Hu Xue Feng was at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage, he didn’t have the courage to battle Duan Ling Tian who was at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage.
Now that he’d broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, he spread the word here that he was able to kill Duan Ling Tian when he was formerly at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage …
Preposterous!
You, Hu Xue Feng, have broken through, and you still want others to not improve so that you can bash them?
Simply fools talk!
"Haha…" Duan Ling Tian started laughing once again, and a bright light flickered within his eyes as he stared at Hu Xue Feng. "Hu Xue Feng, according to what you said, if the current you goes against me of one month ago that hasn’t consumed the Profound Origin Fruit, you wouldn’t be cowardly and not dare battle me? Even to the extent that you can kill me with a single sword strike?"
"Of course!" Hu Xue Feng had an arrogant expression, as he who had broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage was incomparably confident.
If Duan Ling Tian was still a sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist now, he was confident in being able to kill Duan Ling Tian with a single sword strike.
"Ok." Duan Ling Tian started laughing, and a trace of a brilliant smile appeared on his face. "Since you said this… Then I’ll give you a chance!"
Duan Ling Tian’s words caused most of the people present to be stunned.
As they didn’t understand what Duan Ling Tian meant.
Zuo Qing and He Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian as if they thought of something….
As for Hu Xue Feng, his face slightly sank, and a bad premonition arose within his heart.
"Hu Xue Feng!" Duan Ling Tian looked at Hu Xue Fei and suddenly took a step forward, his body emitted battle intent that shot into the sky as his fierce gaze descended onto Hu Xue Feng.
"I, Duan Ling Tian, am willing to suppress my strength to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to battle you on the life and death arena! If I use a strength that exceeds the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage, I’m willing to take my own life on the spot! Do you dare?!"
Do you dare?!
Along with Duan Ling Tian finishing speaking, in the eyes of the spectating crowd of outer court disciples, the Duan Ling Tian before them was that lofty.
As if he’s transformed into a war god that never lost a battle!
Domineering and fearless!
"What a man!" He Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian and he couldn’t help but praise in his heart.
He noticed that at this moment, he was completely won over by Duan Ling Tian, and it was difficult for an intention to compare himself with Duan Ling Tian to arise in his heart.
"Junior Sister, why didn’t you come here with me today? This is your man!" Zuo Qing’s gaze was complicated, and a slight envy was revealed within her eyes.
If a woman is able to obtain the love of such a man in her lifetime, then she wouldn’t have regrets even in death!
"Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is a true man!"
"From today onwards, my idol is Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian."
…
The faces of some of the spectating outer court disciples flushed red, as if the person that stood there facing Hu Xue Feng and issuing an invitation to the life and death arena wasn’t Duan Ling Tian but themselves instead.
In next to no time, the gazes of everyone all descended onto Hu Xue Feng’s figure.
Hu Xue Feng repeatedly said earlier that the current him was able to kill Duan Ling Tian with a single sword strike if Duan Ling Tian was at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage…
Now, Duan Ling Tian used a cultivation at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to invite Hu Xue Feng to ascend to the life and death arena for a battle!
Did Hu Xue Feng dare agree to the battle?
Hu Xue Feng’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
He dare speak like that earlier because he had blind confidence towards his strength, and felt that if Duan Ling Tian was still the sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist from before, then he would surely be able to easily kill Duan Ling Tian.
But now, Duan Ling Tian actually dared to suppress his cultivation to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to battle him on the life and death arena!
His heart swayed as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who stood there with a confident expression and battle intent that shot into the sky.
Could he really kill Duan Ling Tian who was at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage?
Although he still firmly believed this now, but he didn’t dare speak to agree to Duan Ling Tian’s invitation to the life and death arena… He hesitated.
Duan Ling Tian current confidence caused traces of fear to arise within his heart.
If he wasn’t confident, would Duan Ling Tian issue such a challenge?
Hu Xue Feng placed himself in Duan Ling Tian’s position and thought, and he felt how mysterious and terrifying Duan Ling Tian was even more. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian was really able to use a cultivation at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to kill the current him…
After all, Duan Ling Tian used a cultivation at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage that day to kill Shi Hao who was at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage!
Duan Ling Tian’s methods were too strange.
"Tsk tsk…" Duan Ling Tian seemed to be able to see through Hu Xue Feng’s state of mind that was at war when he saw Hu Xue Feng’s expression that kept changing, and he said in ridicule. "Hu Xue Feng, the Personal Disciple of the Merak Peak’s Master? Merely so! Just a Pu**y."
Pu**y?
Duan Ling Tian’s words caused a bellyful of rage to arise within Hu Xue Feng, and he stared furiously at Duan Ling Tian.
"What? Unwilling to admit it even until now? Didn’t you say earlier that with your current strength, you’re able to kill me when I was at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage with a single sword strike? Now, I’ve suppressed my cultivation to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage and desire to battle you on the life and death arena. But you’ve hesitated for such a long time and didn’t dare agree… Isn’t this being a Pu**y?" The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth curled into a sneer, and every word of his pierced Hu Xue Feng’s heart, causing Hu Xue Feng’s expression to become even more ghastly pale and unsightly.
