Not only was this more than enough to prove that Duan Ling Tian had broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, but his prowess had also far surpa.s.sed ordinary powerhouses at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage.
After all, defeating the Luo Brothers when they joined forces was not something ordinary powerhouses at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage could do.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian retracted his Territory and revealed himself.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
…
Although many of them knew Duan Ling Tian was inside the Territory, they still could not help but gasp when he showed himself.
"Powerful! He's really powerful!"
"What kind of monster is Ling Tian? He has just broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage over two months ago, but he's already so strong. He even easily defeated the Luo Brothers when they joined forces!"
"The Luo Brothers probably thought that since Ling Tian has only recently broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, he would be easily bullied. I guess it didn't cross their minds, not even in their wildest dreams, that his strength is comparable to those elite powerhouses at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage even though he had just recently made a breakthrough!"
"No wonder Ling Tian accepted their joint challenge. As it turns out, he wasn't acting recklessly, but he was truly confident!"
"Humph! The Luo Brothers have really dropped a stone on their own feet this time!"
The group of Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples discussed among themselves. In their discussion, they praised Duan Ling Tian's strength and mocked the Luo Brothers for overestimating themselves.
"I knew it. Junior Brother Ling Tian doesn't seem like someone who acts recklessly. However, it didn't cross my mind that his strength is able to defeat the Luo Brothers' joint challenge." Guo Lu sighed emotionally as he stood in the distance, watching Duan Ling Tian.
When he met Duan Ling Tian for the first time, he came to a draw with Duan Ling Tian. He knew Duan Ling Tian was holding back his strength. At that time, he had already suspected that Duan Ling Tian was a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!
How Duan Ling Tian had deliberately held back and controlled his strength to come to a draw with him was not someone at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage could do. Only a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage and above could do that easily.
'It must be the cleansing from the Spirit Pool that elevated Junior Brother Ling Tian's strength,' Guo Lu speculated to himself.
In the distance, Liu Jian and Ren Fei exchanged glances with each other again. They could see the shock in each other's eyes. They even exclaimed in unison, "How powerful!"
"Ling Tian's strength is most likely not inferior to Li Feng who had previously appeared in the Rising Sky Mansion's district," Ren Fei commented with a glum expression.
"That's right! Li Feng's only at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, just like Ling Tian. If the two of them really battle it out, there's no saying who would win." Liu Jian nodded his head, agreeing with Ren Fei's words.
"Ling Tian's technique is very similar to Li Feng… Looks like he really knows Li Feng. Do you think the favors he wants to repay our seniors have anything to do with Li Feng?" Liu Jian muttered as he looked at Ren Fei. This thought just popped up in his mind.
"Now that you mentioned it, it's possible! That time, Li Feng stood our seniors up. Since our seniors had taken care of him so well during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, perhaps, he feels guilty and owes our seniors a favor. Ling Tian must have quite a close relations.h.i.+p with Li Feng. It's possible that he has heard of this matter from Li Feng and plans to help him repay his debt." Ren Fei nodded his head in agreement.
Liu Jian also felt this was a very likely reason after listening to Ren Fei.
From the beginning until the end, they did not suspect that Ling Tian and Li Feng were the same people. This was because they were absolutely certain he was not disguising himself. During the Rising Sky Mansion Battle, their seniors were also certain that Li Feng was not in disguise.
Moreover, although they had not seen Li Feng in person, they had seen his portrait. Ling Tian and Li Feng looked completely different. Ling Tian looked das.h.i.+ng, unlike Li Feng who had an ordinary appearance.
"Do you think it's possible for Ling Tian and Li Feng to be disciples of the same master?" Ren Fei looked at Liu Jian and speculated through Voice Transmission.
"It's possible!" Liu Jian was unsure, but he felt there was a possibility as well.
When Ren Fei and Liu Jian was guessing the relations.h.i.+p between Ling Tian and Li Feng, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was also comparing Ling Tian to Li Feng. "With the current strength he displays, he's most likely not inferior to Li Feng… I can't believe the elevation of his strength would be this huge after he entered the Mystical Sky Mansion!" At the same time, the look in her eyes as she looked at Duan Ling Tian had subtly changed as well.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of it.
At this moment, he was standing next to w.a.n.g Pi who was exclaiming in shock over his earlier performance. "Junior Brother Ling Tian, I can't believe the trip to the Spirit Pool has elevated your cultivation base so much… Those Luo Brothers are well-known in our Heaven Palace. None of the disciples who have just broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage is a match for them at all. Yet, you've broken their winning streak!"
When w.a.n.g Pi reached the end of his sentence, he was deep in his thoughts. There was a sense of admiration in his gaze as he stared at Duan Ling Tian. At the very least, he was far from possessing such terrifying strength when he was Duan Ling Tian's age.
With Duan Ling Tian's innate talent, it would just be a matter of time before he surpa.s.sed w.a.n.g Pi if he did not die. w.a.n.g Pi had no doubts about this.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Isn't that Luo Shan and Luo He? Why are they lying on the ground like that? It seems like they're injured."
Soon after, even more disciples from the Heaven Palace and the three palaces arrived at the summit to watch the show. As soon as they arrived, they realized the atmosphere was not right. Many disciples from the Heaven Palace also saw the Luo Brothers lying on the ground. They recognized them immediately.
The Luo Brothers could be considered as quite famous in the Heaven Palace. After all, they were two Mastery Refined Saint Stage disciples who could defeat a powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage if they joined forces.
Although there were many disciples from the three other palaces that had heard of the Luo Brothers, there were also some who had never heard of them.
However, after the Heaven Palace's disciples filled them in, they finally knew who the two men lying on the ground were. "Two Mastery Refined Saint Stage disciples can actually defeat an ordinary disciple at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage when they join forces? Are they really that strong?"
The three palaces' disciples who first heard of the Luo Brothers were shocked by this.
"What happened to them though?"
"Isn't today the compet.i.tion to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone for the Heaven Palace? Why are the Luo Brothers lying injured on the ground? As far as I know, they're over fifty years old and are not allowed to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone."
"Why don't we ask those who are here before and find out what happened?"
The group of Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples who had just arrived asked around, and many Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples who were here earlier earnestly explained to them what happened and emphasized on how Ling Tian had easily defeated the Luo Brother.
"WHAT?!"
"Ling Tian injured them and knocked them out?"
"My goodness! Ling Tian has really broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage?"
"That's not the point. The point is Ling Tian has just broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage not long ago, and he's already capable of defeating the Luo Brothers even when they joined forces. This means Ling Tian's strength has far exceeded an ordinary powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage!"
