In his heart, he only had one master. The master in his heart was the Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang whom he had never met before. After obtaining the Sovereign Heart Sword legacy, he had regarded Feng Qing Yang as his master. Moreover, he had also regarded himself as the only successor of the Fog Rain Progeny.
The attention of the disciples who were qualified to compete for a spot in entering the Saint Martial Secret Zone was undoubtedly on Duan Ling Tian.
All over the place, in groups of threes or fours, the Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian from time to time as they discussed him.
"Ling Tian." At the same time, Liu Jian and Ren Fei who were originally standing in the distance walked toward Duan Ling Tian with a warm smile on their faces. After they had taken the initiative to greet him, they expressed their grat.i.tude. "Thank you for giving us a chance to ally with you."
Before Duan Ling Tian could reply to them, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan who was standing next to him snorted as she chimed in, "Don't be so eager as to thank him first. Who knows if both of you will be able to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone. If you fail to earn a spot, there'll be no need for you to mention anything about allying yourselves with him."
"You're right, Miss Fei Xuan," Liu Jian nodded before saying solemnly, "I'll do everything in my power to earn a spot in the compet.i.tion today! Even so, I'll still owe you a favor, Ling Tian."
One had to say Liu Jian's words were neither arrogant nor humble. Even Duan Ling Tian could not help but admire him.
"Me too!" Ren Fei chimed in at this moment.
"Hurmph! Among the four of us, you're the one with the least chance of earning a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone!" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan said after she snorted as she looked at him coldly.
Upon hearing her words, Ren Fei felt a little awkward, but he remained quiet. He had once experienced how powerful this Young Miss was. However, it did not cross his mind this Young Miss was still holding a grudge over how disrespectful he was after so long.
Ren Fei knew that remaining silent at this moment was the right decision.
"You have a grudge with him?" Duan Ling Tian asked curiously through Voice Transmission when he noticed how tensed w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was.
"There's no grudge! I just don't like this guy," w.a.n.g Fei Xuan replied coolly through Voice Transmission.
Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless when he heard her words.
"Luo Shan has regained consciousness," someone exclaimed at this moment in a loud voice. Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, s.h.i.+fted their attention to Luo Shan who was lying on the ground.
After regaining consciousness, Luo Shan consumed the Healing Medicinal Pill as he struggled to sit up. Then, he shook Luo He to wake him up. The two brothers sat cross-legged to digest the Healing Medicinal Pill.
As time went by, colors returned to their pale faces, but they still appeared very weak. They managed to stand up with many difficulties by supporting each other.
When they sensed the mocking gazes around them, they were too ashamed to lift up their heads.
At this moment, only regrets were left in their hearts. How good would it be if they did not try and look for trouble with this fellow on their own accord? At the very least, they would not have fallen to such a place.
The Luo Brothers turned to leave the summit after they glanced at Duan Ling Tian fearfully.
"Tsk tsk… Both of you are going to leave now?" At this moment, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian flew out and blocked the Luo Brothers' path with a mocking smile on her face.
Luo Shan's expression turned grave, but he did not do anything. Instead, he asked in his deep voice, "Is there anything you want to say, Miss Fei Xuan?"
With w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's background, she was not someone he could afford to offend. Even if he did not take her background into consideration, with his weakened state, he was not a match for her at all. Due to this reason, he did not dare to act recklessly at all even though he was furious.
"Both of you are so dumb, there's nothing I have to say to you at all. I'm just curious whether you know both of you look like abandoned dogs now?" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan replied nonchalantly.
The moment her words left her mouth, Luo Shan's expression turned grave while Luo He's body trembled from being so infuriated. He pointed a finger at w.a.n.g Fei Xuan as he said, "Y-You…"
Perhaps, he was too furious, but he could not finish his sentence at all.
"Do you believe I'll break your dog paw now if you don't retract it immediately?" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan snarled as a vicious light gleamed in her eyes.
Before Luo He realized what was going on, Luo Shan had already made his move at lightning speed. At the same time, he bowed at w.a.n.g Fei Xuan. "Miss Fei Xuan, my younger brother doesn't know any better. As his elder brother, I'll apologize on his behalf. Please forgive us!"
As the saying went, 'It's difficult to slap someone who's smiling.' Luo Shan had already given in so much so w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's anger had also mostly disappeared. Due to this reason, she did not intend on making fun of them any longer.
When the Luo Brothers disappeared from everyone's sights, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan returned to stand next to Duan Ling Tian.
"You're really unforgiving." When she returned, Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a smile on his face.
"Wasn't I just trying to seek revenge for you?" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan replied, "Previously, they kept provoking you. When one of them couldn't defeat you, they issued a joint challenge. The outcome was a great one though. Both of them were knocked out by you in just a blink of an eye!"
When she reached the end of her sentence, her eyes gleamed brilliantly. "Come on, can you just tell me your secrets? What's the current level of your strength?"
The moment her words left her mouth, w.a.n.g Pi, Guo Lu, Liu Jian, and Ren Fei immediately s.h.i.+fted their attention to Duan Ling Tian. They were curious about this matter as well.
"If I tell you that I'm invincible against all those below the Eminent Saint Stage, will you believe me?" Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile.
"Of course not!" w.a.n.g Fei Xuan rolled her eyes at Duan Ling Tian. "Do you really think that n.o.body at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage is your match since you've defeated the Luo Brothers? Let me tell you, the Luo Brothers are completely not a match to a real powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, okay? Moreover, you might even be defeated in a wretched manner like the Luo Brothers if you fight with them."
When Duan Ling Tian saw w.a.n.g Fei Xuan thought he was merely bluffing, he only shook his head and smiled without further explaining himself.
This filled w.a.n.g Fei Xuan with arrogance since she thought she had struck at Duan Ling Tian's weak spot since he did not refute her words.
As for w.a.n.g Pi and the others, they, naturally, did not believe Duan Ling Tian like w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.
Invincible against all those under the Eminent Saint Stage!
These nine words sounded simple, but it was not as simple as it sounded in real life.
As time pa.s.sed by, Xiao Yi, the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, finally showed himself. He was the moderator for the compet.i.tion to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone today.
When he arrived, w.a.n.g Pi bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and the others before he went to stand next to Xiao Yi. He also recounted what had transpired to Xiao Yi and emphasized on the powerful strength Duan Ling Tian had shown.
"What?!" When Xiao Yi heard this, he was baffled. "He defeated the Luo Brothers in just a span of a few breaths even though they joined forces?"
As the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, Xiao Yi, naturally, knew about some people in the Heaven Palace, and this included the Luo Brothers. He remembered the Luo Brothers because they had defeated many of Heaven Palace's disciples at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage when they joined forces.
