Chapter 3499 - Ye Dong Li

Among Duan Ling Tian’s group, Tang San Pao was the first to reveal his strength that was comparable to a Five Star God of War. At that time, let alone those who did not know him, even Duan Ling Tian and the others were shocked. In their eyes, he was friendly and talkative, especially to Duan Ling Tian, completely lacking the air of someone with extraordinary strength.

After Tang San Pao, Duan Ling Tian was next to reveal his strength that was comparable to a Five Star God of War. Even before he appeared, his reputation had preceded him. He was the only true disciple of Feng Qing Yang, the legendary Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, after all.

Among the 81 Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms, most of them had a few true disciples. For the longest time, Feng Qing Yang did not even have one true disciple. Hence, everyone was shocked when he finally accepted a true disciple. Even when the strongest Heavenly Emperor accepted a true disciple, it was not as shocking as when Feng Qing Yang, who had yet to confirm he had attained godhood at that time, finally accepted a true disciple.

Feng Qing Yang was indeed rather unique among the Heavenly Emperors. Even Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, who was on par with Feng Qing Yang in the past had four true disciples and many nominal disciples.

For all these reasons, even before the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses started, Duan Ling Tian had already garnered a lot of attention. In the beginning, many people were of the opinion that Duan Ling Tian was only lucky that Feng Qing Yang took a liking to him and accepted him as a true disciple. However, after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength that was on par with a Five Star God of War during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, they were finally convinced that Duan Ling Tian was accepted by Feng Qing Yang because of his talent, not because of luck. Everyone knew they could not achieve what Duan Ling Tian achieved at his age. Indeed, only a monstrous talent like Duan Ling Tian was worthy of an extraordinary Heavenly Emperor like Feng Qing Yang.

“With his talent, if Duan Ling Tian didn’t have a master, even the strongest Heavenly Emperor would want him as a true disciple.”

“His innate talent is heaven-defying.”

“He’s only a little over 600 years old but possesses the strength of a Five Star God of War. With his heaven-defying innate talent and an extraordinary master like Feng Qing Yang, his future is incomparably bright. He’ll definitely become a prominent figure in the Devata Realms in the future.”

“A person like him would easily make a name for himself even in the Realms of Gods…”

The young geniuses sighed enviously when they discussed Duan Ling Tian.

Upon hearing the discussion in the surroundings, Zhong Gu Yu, the talented young genius with the strength of a Five Star God of War who claimed to be Xu Ya Si’s junior brother, turned to look at Duan Ling Tian as well. ‘It seems like Senior Sister wasn’t lying. Based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed, his strength should be on par with mine. However, it’s still not enough for him to defeat me unless he has other tricks up his sleeve.’

On second thought, Zhong Gui Yu thought it was unlikely that Duan Ling Tian still had any tricks up his sleeve. After all, at Duan Ling Tian’s age, his achievements were already shocking enough. A person like Duan Ling Tian was rare in the history of the Devata Realms. Even top powerhouses in the Devata Realms did not achieve such feats at Duan Ling Tian’s age. Perhaps, only those born in Realms of Gods possessed such talents like Duan Ling Tian. The gods were highly gifted, and the resources in the Realms of Gods were far superior to the Devata Realms. Nevertheless, there was still a chance there was no talent like Duan Ling Tian in the Realms of God. After all, not only did Duan Ling Tian possess the strength of a Five Star God of War before the age of 700, but he had even comprehended two of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, many people were also discussing Ling Jue Yun, the cold and mysterious young genius whose vicious attacks shocked and left a deep impression on everyone.

“Ling Jue Yun is really outstanding as well…”

“I wonder where he came from… There are many unknown young geniuses in this time’s Battle of the Geniuses…”

“Perhaps, he’s a descendant of a top powerhouse who used to live in seclusion. He might have inherited a heaven-defying legacy from his ancestor.”

“A heaven-defying legacy? The heaven-defying legacy has to be left behind by a supreme powerhouse for him to be so heaven-defyingly strong at his age!”

Su Li also garnered some attention despite not possessing the strength of a Five Star God of War due to his young age. Although his strength was not as heaven-defying compared to Duan Ling Tian, there was no doubt he was also a genius in his own right.

No one knew Ling Jue Yun was the same age as Duan Ling Tian and Su Li. Otherwise, these people would be in a bigger uproar about Ling Jue Yun.

…

At the same time, after listening to discussions in his surroundings, Tang San Pao’s curiosity was piqued. He asked, “Ling Jue Yun, how old are you?”

Ling Jue Yun only glanced at Tang San Pao briefly before ignoring him.

Tang San Pao was undeterred. He asked with a grin, “Ling Jue Yun, you must be approaching 1,000 years old, right?”

Tang San Pao was clearly trying to provoke Ling Jue Yun into answering his question. Alas, Ling Jue Yun continued to ignore him, causing him to feel frustrated.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian said, “He’s almost the same age as Su Li and me.”

Since Duan Ling Tian had known Ling Jue Yun for quite some time, he had a rough idea of Ling Jue Yun’s age. Moreover, the soul of his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, Huang’er, knew everything about Ling Jue Yun.

“So he’s not even 700 years old?!” Tang San Pao was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. He looked at Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, and Ling Jue Yun as he said, “All of you are monsters!”

Then, the shocked expression on Tang San Pao’s face was replaced with a smug expression before he said, “Since all of you are younger than me, don’t you think you should address me as Big Brother Tang?”

With these words, even Duan Ling Tian and Su Li ignored Tang San Pao.

…

Soon enough, the crowd broke into a commotion again with the arrival of another participant.

“That’s Ye Dong Li!”

Although Ye Dong Li’s appearance was rather ordinary, her strength that was comparable to a Five Star God of War garnered her a lot of attention. Moreover, she was the only female participant to possess such strength in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. As such, she was the only female participant to make it into the final round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. Although some of her peers were prettier than her, they were not as popular as her.

“I’ve never heard of Ye Dong Li before this. It’s rare for a female celestial below the age of 1,000 to possess the strength of a Five Star God of War even in all the Devata Realms…”

“That’s right. Someone like her might be common in Realms of Gods, but she’s definitely as rare as a phoenix feather in the Devata Realms.”

“Although she’s not a beauty, whoever gets to marry her is really lucky!”

“To marry her, you’ll have to be stronger than her!”

The attention Ye Dong Li drew was comparable to Duan Ling Tian and his friends.

Even Duan Ling Tian could not help but look at her for a moment. He thought the Devata Realms were really filled with hidden talents. Before the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, he had once asked Feng Qing Yang if there were many outstanding female young geniuses. According to Feng Qing Yang, they were very rare. During the previous few Battles of the Geniuses, there were no young female geniuses with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War. For this reason, he could not help but look at her.

At this time, Tang San Pao, who was sitting behind Duan Ling Tian, said teasingly, “Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, why are both of you staring at Ye Dong Li? Do you like her? Let me remind you that a woman like her is very difficult to deal with. You have to be stronger than her at least to win her heart. Su Li, I don’t think you stand a chance right now. As for Duan Ling Tian, I think your prospect looks promising…”

Duan Ling Tian turned back to look at Tang San Pao before he said, “You seem to know her pretty well. Are you acquainted with her?”

Tang San Pao smiled sheepishly before he said with a hint of unease, “We’re not really acquainted. We’ve only met once. Her master is a god, and my master addresses her master as Junior Uncle.”

Needless to say, this was the first time Duan Ling Tian and the others had heard of this matter.
