Far exceeds an ordinary powerhouse who's at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage?"
"That's right! Don't forget who the Luo Brothers are! The numbers of people they had defeated at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage numbers in two digits in the Heaven Palace when they joined forces! The disciples who had just broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage in less than a year are useless in front of them. They were all easily defeated!"
"Exactly! Ling Tian must have made a breakthrough during the Spirit Pool cleansing. In other words, he has only broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage less than three months ago, but he still defeated the Luo Brothers in such a forceful manner when they joined forces.
"I can't believe that other than having a high innate talent, Ling Tian's technique is this powerful as well!"
"Indeed, without the technique, it would've been impossible for him to even come to a draw with the Luo Brothers if he has only broken through three months ago, let alone defeating them."
When the Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples saw the results of the clash between the Luo Brothers and Duan Ling Tian, they looked at Duan Ling Tian with hints of respect in their eyes.
In this world where the strong ruled, it was only natural for people to respect powerful people. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had gained the respect of the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples.
"Do you see this? Your innate talent and strength have been acknowledged by them. After this battle, I'm sure the Lord Mansion Master will come and look for you soon," Wang Pi said with a smile as when he saw the respectful looks trained Duan Ling Tian.
"Lord Mansion Master will come and look for me?" Duan Ling Tian was shocked. "Why would he look for me?"
"Why else? Naturally, it's because of your innate talent and wants to accept you as his direct disciple. In fact, you'll probably be his last disciple!" When Wang Pi reached the end of his sentence, there were hints of envy in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
In the Mystical Sky Mansion, the Mansion Master was the most supreme being, and at the same time, the strongest person in the Mystical Sky Mansion. If one were to become his disciple, one's future would be bright and limitless.
"Direct disciple? Last disciple?" Perhaps an ordinary person would be delighted when they heard Wang Pi's words, however, his words only served to vex Duan Ling Tian.
In the past, when he was on Cloud Continent, he had never taken anyone as his master before since he had the lifetime memory of the Rebirth Martial Emperor. He did not think anyone was qualified to become his master.
When he arrived at the Dao Martial Saint Land, since he met Bai Li Hong, he had gained a teacher, not a master.
In the end, after obtaining the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, legacy, he had regarded Feng Qing Yang as his master in his heart. He was the only master he recognized. Due to this reason, even if the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion wanted to take him as a direct disciple, or even to be his last disciple, he was not interested at all.
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 gratitude. "Thank you for giving us a chance to ally with you."
Before Duan Ling Tian could reply to them, Wang 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 competition 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!" Wang 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 Wang Fei Xuan was.
"There's no grudge! I just don't like this guy," Wang 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, shifted 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, Wang 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 Wang 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?" Wang 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 Wang 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?" Wang 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 Wang 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 Wang 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, Wang 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?" Wang 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, Wang Pi, Guo Lu, Liu Jian, and Ren Fei immediately shifted 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!" Wang Fei Xuan rolled her eyes at Duan Ling Tian. "Do you really think that nobody 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 Wang Fei Xuan thought he was merely bluffing, he only shook his head and smiled without further explaining himself.
This filled Wang 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 Wang Pi and the others, they, naturally, did not believe Duan Ling Tian like Wang 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 passed by, Xiao Yi, the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, finally showed himself. He was the moderator for the competition to earn a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone today.
When he arrived, Wang 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.
