“This…”
The other six Fire Glaze Mansion disciples were shocked as they watched the one-sided battle in front of them. They did not regain their senses for a long time. It was simply too terrifying. Not only did Duan Ling Tian injure Tan Yuan, but he nearly killed Mo Ping Zhi as well.
Moreover, it was apparent that if Duan Ling Tian did not show mercy, Mo Ping Zhi would have died.
“Watch out!” Tan Yuan cried out.
The six disciples shuddered when they heard Tan Yuan’s warning that thundered in their ears. When they regained their senses, they saw the grey sword ray flickered in front of them one after another. Soon after, they felt a cold sensation on their chests. When they lowered their heads, they saw their robes were torn, and they were bleeding on their chests. It was very clear to them that Duan Ling Tian had held back.
Swoosh!
The moment Duan Ling Tian struck the six disciples, he vanished, causing Tan Yuan’s attack to miss again.
“Damn it!” Tan Yuan cursed loudly. His expression was incredibly unsightly at this moment.
Mo Ping Zhi spoke up at this moment. “Senior Brother Tan Yuan, let it be….. His attacks are too terrifying. Moreover, although his speed is slightly slower than yours, your speed has no advantage over him.” Then, without waiting for Tan Yuan’s reply, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said earnestly, “Duan Ling Tian, I was wrong to underestimate you. I hope you’ll be able to make it to the top.” After he finished speaking, he did not waste time and brought his Accumulative Point Jade out before crushing it.
Mo Ping Zhi was aware that if Duan Ling Tian did not spare him, he would not be alive. He had done all he could by warning Tan Yuan. He knew there was nothing else he could do so he did not waste time and left the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm immediately without wasting any more words. He thought to himself as he was transported back to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate, ‘Duan Ling Tian, thank you for your kindness. If there’s a chance, I’ll certainly repay you in the future!’
After Mo Ping Zhi crushed his Accumulative Point Jade, the other six disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion brought their Accumulative Point Jades out and crushed them with a helpless expression on their faces after they thanked Duan Ling Tian. Similar to Mo Ping Zhi, they knew Duan Ling Tian had spared their lives. Although they were thankful, they knew it was futile to stay any longer. Moreover, they were too embarrassed to stay as well.
“Light and Shadow Profundity!” Mo Ping Zhi’s parting words to Tan Yuan successfully calmed him down. When he was first injured by Duan Ling Tian, he had been enraged and lost his reason for a moment. Mo Ping Zhi’s words were like a bucket of cold water that was splashed on him. He quickly prepared to escape using the law of metal’s main movement profundity. At the same time, he prepared to boost his speed with other profundities from the law of metal as well.
“Too late!” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.
At the same time, Tan Yuan discovered he could not leave. When he tried to move, he crashed into an invisible wall, causing the air to ripple. He was even sent flying by the impact. His eyes widened as he cried out, “The law of space’s Restraining Profundity?”
Nevertheless, Tan Yuan had no intention of giving up. He lifted his hands, ready to cast his offensive profundity. This time, his target was not Duan Ling Tian, but the invisible prison he was in. He knew that as long as he had sufficient strength, he would be able to break free of the law of space’s Restraining Profundity.
However, as soon as Tan Yuan attacked, golden flames burst forth from the edges of the invisible prison, illuminating the boundaries of the otherwise invisible prison.
If Duan Ling Tian did not seek help from the Chaos Divine Flame and the Profound Divine Metal to boost the Restraining Profundity, he might not be able to restrain Tan Yuan. With the two Divine Elements’ help, Tan Yuan was firmly trapped in the boundaries of the Restraining Profundity.
Naturally, with Tan Yuan’s continual assault, signs of weakening were starting to appear. However, it would still take Tan Yuan a few breaths to break free. This time was more than enough for Duan Ling Tian to act.
Buzz!
Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance waved his hand.
A grey sword ray shot out the spatial tear as Duan Ling Tian cast the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity again. Similar to before, it was shrouded with golden flames as it flew toward Tan Yuan.
Crack!
Faced with the incoming grey sword ray, Tan Yuan weighed his options. It did not take long before he hastily brought his Accumulative Point Jade out and crushed it with an unsightly expression on his face.
When the grey sword ray arrived in the invisible prison, Tan Yuan had already been transported out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
However, even if Tan Yuan did not escape in time, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of killing Tan Yuan. He knew he had trodden on the Fire Glaze Mansion’s bottom line with his actions this time. If he killed the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples as well, it would only aggravate the matter. After all, if he did not kill their disciples, they would not go over the line as well even if they sought revenge from him.
Duan Ling Tian’s objective was to gain as many points as possible. He would not hesitate to offend grade-six Celestial Mansions in order to achieve his goal. However, it was not necessary for him to kill his targets to obtain their points.
Now that he had eliminated the eight Fire Glaze Mansion disciples, he quickly brought out his Accumulative Point Jade. His eyes widened and shone as bright as the stars in the night sky when he saw his current points. “My points…”
…
In one of the sites of the Transporting Formations in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate.
Mo Ping Zhi and the other six disciples appeared one after another.
“Mo Ping Zhi?”
“Heavens! Senior Brother Mo Ping Zhi was eliminated?”
The elders and the disciples were still shocked by Mo Ping Zhi and the six disciples’ elimination when…
Swoosh!
An uproar greater than before broke out immediately. The site of the Transporting Formation resembled a market at this moment.
“Tan Yuan?”
“It’s Senior Brother Tan Yuan!”
“Heavens! How did Senior Brother Tan Yuan get eliminated? What’s going on?”
“Senior Mo Ping Zhi has been eliminated as well. Both of them are the strongest representatives of the Fire Glaze Mansion in the middle realm, but they’re both eliminated?”
“It’s not just that, but they’re eliminated consecutively as well.”
At this moment, someone cried out, “Look at the scoreboard!”
Everyone shifted their attention to the scoreboard immediately. Their eyes immediately found Duan Ling Tian’s name on the scoreboard. His name had disappeared from 12th place and appeared in 5th place.
Duan Ling Tian, the outer court disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion, was currently ranked 5th with 286 points.
Everyone inhaled sharply when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s new ranking. They stared at his name in stunned silence.
The outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion had risen to 5th place! Most importantly, he had only entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm less than two days ago. What kind of monster was he?
“In the history of our Southern Heaven Territory, was there anyone who managed to accumulate so many points in just two days?” an elder finally asked.
“I… I don’t think so…”
“There isn’t anyone like that! Gaining 286 points in less than two days is unprecedented in the Southern Heaven Territory!”
“If I’m not mistaken, the highest points someone managed to obtain in two days were 190 points, right?”
“It has only been a month since Duan Ling Tian appeared, but his achievements are mind-blowing. Nobody in this generation will forget his name unless they lose their memories.”
“Where did the Profound Nether Mansion find such a monster?”
The news spread like a wildfire through the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate, leaving commotions in its wake. The members soon discovered the reason for Duan Ling Tian’s rapid rise in rankings; he had eliminated their mansion’s Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi.
Tan Yuan had entered the middle realm a few days later than Mo Ping Zhi, but he had close to 100 points.
After adding Tan Yuan, Mo Ping Zhi, and the six disciples points, Duan Ling Tian’s points jumped from 93 points to 286 points!
…
At a grand hall in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate.
The higher-ups in the Fire Glaze Mansion were furious; they were rebuking seven disciples who were standing before them.
These seven disciples were precisely Mo Ping Zhi and the six other disciples. For some reason, Tan Yuan was not present.
“Why? Why didn’t all of you leave?!”
“All of you could’ve left without any problem, but you intentionally waited for Duan Ling Tian? Were you confident about your strength?”
“Damn it! All of you could’ve easily avoided him. Now, due to your arrogance, all your points have gone to him!”
“The Fire Glaze Mansion is humiliated this time because of all of you!”
