Duan Ling Tian had moved at lightning speed, teleporting next to Tu Feng as soon as Tu Feng had mobilized his Divine Energy. Tu Feng could barely react to his attack before he easily killed Tu Feng, Perhaps, if he had given Tu Feng a few extra seconds, Tu Feng might have been able to defend against
Duan Ling Tian.
Alas, Tu Feng was too slow. Just a difference of a few seconds resulted in his death.
Duan Ling Tian had easily killed Tu Feng by relying on his 99 Heavenly Veins and Teleportation Profundity to catch Tu Feng off guard. Ordinary people would not have dared to take this risk even if they had comprehended two triple Fused Profundities and the rudimentary Sword Dao and possessed 99
Heavenly Veins. After all, if their opponent successfully blocked the attack, they would then be left open for attacks. However, there was no risk for Duan Ling Tian since his true strength far surpassed Tu Feng’s strength. Even if Tu Feng managed to block his attack, he could still tun things around. At
worst, he would have to reveal one of his trump cards. In fact, whether he would have to reveal his trump card or not was the only gamble he took. To him, Tu Feng’s death was a foregone conclusion.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian was very pleased that he managed to kill Tu Feng without having to reveal more of his strength. What he had revealed here was the same as what he had shown during the core disciples’ test in Zhang Tian Heng’s Little World. He had only shown his cultivation base that
was at the stage of an advanced god, two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space, the rudimentary Sword Dao, and a primitive divine sword. The only thing he had exposed here was his 99 Heavenly Veins. However, as long as he was careful, no one would be able to 100% confirm he possessed 99
Heavenly Veins. Even if the matter was exposed, it was not a big deal. After all, 99 Heavenly Veins might be rare in the Devata Realms, but they were rather common in the Realms of Gods. After all, most inhabitants of the Realms of Gods were descendants of supreme powerhouses.
At this time, high up in the sky above the Extreme Martial Arena, Lin Yi Jian, a core disciple, said confidently, “He has definitely passed the core disciples’ test. This is my first meeting an advanced god who has comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from a Supreme Law. The core disciples’ test
might be difficult for the inner disciples, but it’s not difficult for Duan Ling Tian at all.”
Another core disciple nodded in agreement.
At this time, a black-clad young man, Shi Tong Ming, swooped down on stone tablet under his feet and landed in the Extreme Martial Arena. After putting away the stone tablet, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and called out, “Duan Ling Tian.”
Upon seeing Shi Tong Ming, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.
“That’s Senior Brother Shi Tong ming!”
“I didn’t expect to see Senior Brother Shi Tong Ming here again after so many years!”
“When he was an inner disciple, he was considered the strongest inner disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect. After breaking through and becoming a rudimentary King of Gods, he passed the core disciples’ test and became a core disciple.”
“Everyone knows that. The important thing is that after becoming a core disciple, Supreme Elder Lei took a liking to him because of his outstanding performance and accepted him as his disciple!”
“Supreme Elder Lei? He’s the strongest among the four Supreme Elders of our Hidden Fog Sect, right?”
“That’s right. Supreme Elder Lei, Supreme Elder Supreme Elder Feng, Supreme Elder Yun, and Supreme Elder Wu are the strongest elders in the Hidden Fog Sect. Even the sect leader is respectful to them. So you can imagine how high Senior Brother Shi Tong Ming’s innate talent and comprehension skills
are as Supreme Elder Lei’s direct disciple.”
Through the conversations in his surroundings, Duan Ling Tian learned of Shi Tong Ming’s identity. He knew from before that the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect were the strongest powerhouses in the Hidden Fog Sect; they were even stronger than the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect. The
sect leader, vice sect leaders, core elders, and guardians were just juniors when faced with them. Regardless of positions, all of them were respectful toward the supreme elders. This was a world where the strong were revered, after all.
“Senior Brother Shi, what’s the matter?” Duan Ling Tian took the initiative to ask.
“Did you pass the core disciples’ test?” Shi Tong Ming bluntly asked.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
After Duan Ling Tian killed Tu Feng, most people had already guessed that Duan Ling Tian had passed the core disciples’ test. Nevertheless, they were still stunned when they heard it from Duan Ling Tian.
“Very good,” Shi Tong Ming said directly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian appreciatively, “Duan Ling Tian, my master is Supreme Elder Lei. Would you like to accept him as your master? With that, I’l be your senior brother. Whoever who offends in the future will have to contend with me.”
Shi Tong Ming was not very good with words so he spoke frankly.
An uproar broke out as soon as Shi Tong Ming finished speaking.
“Supreme Elder Lei wants to accept Duan Ling Tian as his disciple?!”
“Based on the fact that Senior Brother Shi asking Duan Ling Tian if he had passed the core disciples’ test proved that Supreme Elder Lei only planned to accept him as a disciple if he passed the test!”
“Supreme Elder Lei is one of the four Supreme Elders in the Hidden Fog Sect. If Duan Ling Tian becomes his disciple, he’ll be able to do as he pleases in the sect.”
“1m so jealous! I wish I were Duan Ling Tian!”
Even the two inner elders on duty at the Extreme Martial Arena were looking at Duan Ling Tian enviously. This showed that Duan Ling Tian was on a meteoric rise.
“Supreme Elder Lei…” A hint of joy could be seen on Tang Wu Yan’s face when she recovered from the shock. It was as though she herself was about to become a disciple of the supreme elder. Similar to the others, she did not have any doubt that Duan Ling Tian would agree to become a supreme elder’s
disciple even if he had previously rejected the invitation of guardians and core elders. After all, they could not compare to the supreme elders. It was likely he had rejected the others because he was waiting to become a disciple of one of the supreme elders.
At this time
“Senior Brother Shi,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Please convey my gratitude to Supreme Elder Lei, but unfortunately, I have to refuse his kind intentions since I already have a master.”
shi Tong Ming was briefly stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s words. When he recovered, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a profound gaze and said, “I see. Well, that’s a pity…”
Following that, Shi Tong Ming did not waste any more words and flew away on the stone tablet that had appeared under his feet. In just a blink of an eye, he vanished before everyone’s eyes.
At this time, the crowd finally recovered from the shock of Duan Ling Tian’s refusal. No one expected him to refuse Shi Tong Ming. After all, this was the best way to elevate his status in the Hidden Fog Sect.
“can’t believe Duan Ling Tian rejected Supreme Elder Lei!”
“Well, geniuses are prideful and arrogant, after all.”
Most people did not understand Duan Ling Tian’s decision, and Tang Wu Yan was the same. She hurriedly sent a message to Duan Ling Tian.
“Duan Ling Tian, you should’ve agreed to become Supreme Elder Lei’s disciple. With that, the second elder won’t dare to act against you for killing Tu Feng. Now that you kill Tu Feng, the second elder definitely won’t let it slide. He’s famous of being overprotective of his disciples. If you’re Supreme Elder
Lei’s disciple, he won’t dare to act rashly. Being Supreme Elder Lei’s disciple is like having an extra life-saving charm.”
Tang Wu Yan’s thoughts were very simple. Since Duan Ling Tian killed Tu Feng, Wu Feng Yin definitely will seek revenge from him. By refusing to become Supreme Elder Lei’s disciple, he was only putting himself in danger.
“Everyone has their own aspirations,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.
“You!” Tang Wu Yan’s face reddened in anger. She stomped her foot helplessly before she turned to leave, looking like a girl who had just fought with her lover.
At the same time
‘Wu Feng Yin, the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, sighed in relief when he found out that Duan Ling Tian refused to become Supreme Elder Lei’s disciple.
His eyes glinted coldly as he muttered to himself, “Foolish brat! I wouldn’t dare to act rashly against you if you’d become Supreme Elder Lei’s disciple.. With this, I can act without any worries!”
