Chapter 4011 - The Word on Duan Ling Tian’s Token

15 minutes passed by very quickly.

In the sky above the arena, Ling Dong Lai, the elder from the Howling Flames Sect who would be hosting the Seven Mansions Feast, said with a smile, “It’s time. Now, may I have the participants’ attention please? I’ll be throwing out the lots, and you can grab them. Infuse them with your Divine Energy, and the words will be revealed. Those with the same words would be opponents. The winner will then be in the novice group. Please pay attention. I’ll throw the lots in ten breaths.”

‘There more than 1,000 participants?’

Although there were many people in attendance, they were scattered in different places so Duan Ling Tian did not realize there were more than 1,000 participants. However, it was not surprising since there were almost 30 forces from the Seven Mansions, including the five top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. If there were 40 participants from a force, there would already be more than 1,000 participants.

The Seven Mansions were the Eastern Ridge Mansion, the Green Province Mansion, the Profound Jade Mansion, the Consonance Mansion, the Underworld Mansion, the Divine Morning Mansion, and the Feudal Lord Mansion.

There were five top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion and the Consonance Mansion; four top forces in the Green Province Mansion, the Profound Jade Mansion, and the Feudal Lord Mansion; and there were three top forces in the Underworld Mansion and the Divine Morning Mansion. There were 28 forces in total. For the Seven Mansions Feast this time, the top forces in the Seven Mansions sent their elders and young disciples here.

When there were two or three breaths left, Liu Feng Gu’s reminder echoed in the ears of the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect.

“Pay attention.”

Duan Ling Tian naturally prepared himself.

After two breaths, Lin Dong Lai finally made a move. He casually waved his hands and countless tokens sailed in the air like flower petals in front of everyone’s eyes. Then, he used his Divine Energy to keep the tokens from falling to the ground.

As soon as the tokens were in the air…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Streaks of energy shot out of the participants as they each took a token. Since the tokens looked the same, no one fought over them. Even if the token they had their eyes on were taken by someone else, they would just look for another token. Everyone was rather civil. For this reason, in just a dozen breaths, all of them had already obtained their tokens.

‘I should imbue my Divine Energy into it…’ Duan Ling Tian quickly imbued his token with his Divine Energy. The token flashed briefly. When the light dissipated, the corners of his lips twitched when he saw the word that was revealed.

A young disciple from the Pure Yang Sect, who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian, seemed to notice Duan Ling Tian’s reaction so he casually glanced at Duan Ling Tian’s token. When he saw the word on Duan Ling Tian’s token, he could not help but laugh, attracting everyone’s attention.

Duan Ling Tian reacted quickly and put his token away, disappointing those who were trying to catch a glimpse of his token.

As for those who saw the word on Duan Ling Tian’s token, they could not help but chuckle as well.

“Duan Ling Tian, what is it? Come on, tell us.”

Since Duan Ling Tian was usually friendly, he was rather popular among the young disciples. As such, they were not very restrained with him.

“I think everyone is curious about your token,” another young disciple said with a smile.

The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s lips twitched again when he sensed everyone’s curious gaze, but he only ignored them.

Nonetheless, it did not take long for the word on Duan Ling Tian’s token to spread from those who had caught a glimpse of it. They were communicating through Voice Transmission so Duan Ling Tian would not know who spread the word first. With that, he would not be able to seek revenge from them. However, after getting to know him, they also knew it was unlikely for him to seek revenge over such petty issues.

Those who learned about the word on Duan Ling Tian’s token laughed. Except for a rare few, more than 60 young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect laughed.

At this time, Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu were finally attracted by the commotion.

“What did Duan Ling Tian draw? What’s so funny?”

Zhen Ping Fan was naturally curious.

As for Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu, who learned about what happened from the young disciples, they exchanged a look and an amused smile.

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan burst out laughing as well. Clearly, he had also found out. He said with tears of laughter in his eyes, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re really lucky! You got such a great word. It seems the heavens think you suit with that word.”

Duan Ling Tian felt even more embarrassed. He said helplessly, “It’s just the word ‘ugly’. Is it really that funny, Elder Zhen? Moreover, I’m not the only one who got the word ‘ugly’.”

As it turned out, the word on Duan Ling Tian’s token was ‘ugly’.

At the same time, Lin Dong Lai, who was standing in the center, had long heard the commotion. With his exceptional hearing, he naturally heard the words that were being said. He could not help but chuckle as well. “Duan Ling Tian? He got the word ‘ugly’?”

There was no cheating in drawing the lots, and there was no need to do as well. It was Lin Dong Lai’s idea to use the word ‘ugly’. He really did not expect that one of the two words ‘ugly’ would fall into Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

Lin Dong Lai naturally had heard of Duan Ling Tian. In fact, even before Duan Ling Tian defeated the Wanqi clan’s Wanqi Hong, he had heard of Duan Ling Tian. After all, it was not easy for a rudimentary Lord of Gods to kill two intermediate Lords of Gods successively. At least, there was none in the Howling Flames Sect who was capable of such a feat.

‘In that case, I should change the order of the battle…’ Lin Dong Lai thought to himself as he glanced at the jade token in his hand. Then, he quickly moved the battle between the participants who obtained the word ‘ugly’ from somewhere in the middle to the top.

Then, Lin Dong Lai looked around before he said loudly, “Now that you’ve seen the words on your token,I’ll announce the start of the first round that will sort participants into the novice group.”

Everyone jolted when they heard the sudden announcement.

The group of young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect also stopped teasing Duan Ling Tian immediately.

Lin Dong Lai continued to say, “Next, I’d like to invite the two participants who obtained the word ‘ugly’ to step forward. The winner will enter the novice group.”

Ugly!

Upon hearing this, the sounds of laughter rang in the air. No one expected such a word to be used.

“I can’t believe they’d used this word. I didn’t know that those from the Profound Jade Mansion are pranksters.”

“I wonder whose idea it was.”

“Those two who obtained this word are really lucky! It’s a pity there’s no reward for drawing this word.”

The solemn atmosphere was instantly dispelled by Lin Dong Lai’s words.

Everyone looked around curiously, wondering which two participants were so lucky to draw such a word.

Needless to say, those from the Pure Yang Sect began to laugh again.

Zhen Ping Fan said with a smile, adding fuel to fire, “Duan Ling Tian, the Profound Jade Mansion definitely didit on purpose. Look, even your battle is the first one. When you’re strong enough in the future, you should return to the Profound Jade Mansion and seek revenge from the Emperor of Gods who came up with this idea. I’ll support you if you decide to do so!”

Although Duan Ling Tian did not seem to take Zhen Ping Fan’s words to heart outwardly, he agreed with Zhen Ping Fan.

‘This is definitely intentional… How can it be a coincidence for those with the word ‘ugly’ to fight first? Of course, they might not know I got that word, and it’s really just a coincidence…’

Duan Ling Tian felt a little helpless. He knew there was no malice in this. Perhaps, they only wanted to lighten the atmosphere. He could only blame his luck for obtaining such a word.

At this moment, another commotion broke out.

“Look!”

“She’s here!”

“She’s not ugly at all!”

“Not only is she not ugly, but she’s rather pretty!”

Duan Ling Tian, who was about to step forward, looked up instinctively at the other person who drew the word ‘ugly’.

Similar to the others, Duan Ling Tian saw a beautiful woman with a gorgeous figure.

Perhaps, it was due to her outstanding temperament so the laughter gradually died down.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian flew out, appearing before everyone’s eyes.

…

At the same time, on the Seven Kills Valley’s small floating island, Yu Chang Lian and Hong Yun Xiao were slightly stunned. Then, they laughed as well.

“Duan Ling Tian got the word ‘ugly’? This boy is quite lucky.”

“Indeed.”

On the contrary, Dao Wei, Yu Chang Lian’s disciple, only stared at Duan Ling Tian solemnly. How could he be in the mood to laugh considering the gap between him and Duan Ling Tian?

…

When Duan Ling Tian appeared, the woman said, “I’m Xie Ying Ying from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Flowing Cloud Sect.”
