Chapter 4072 - The Champion of the Seven Mansions Feast

On the battlefield, Wang Xiong watched as Duan Ling Tian ruthlessly destroyed his attacks. After seeing the synergy between Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger, he felt helpless. He also realized at this time that even if he was not injured and was in peak condition, he could only fight to a draw with Duan Ling Tian, who had comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity and had such a high level of synergy with his doppelganger. When he was injured, he could only use about 70% or 80% of his strength. Now that he exchanged a few more blows with Duan Ling Tian, his injury had worsened so he could only exert about 60% of his strength.

‘I lost fair and square…’ Wang Xiong concluded to himself inwardly when he thought about Duan Ling Tian using the Double Teleportation Profundity, which he had previously hidden. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian had been precisely waiting for that moment to use it.

“I surrender,” Wang Xiong said just before he received Voice Transmissions from his elders in the Frozen Mountain Manor advising him to surrender.

After Duan Ling Tian’s show of strength, the intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor thought it was pointless to continue to fight as well. After all, Wang Xiong was severely injured while Duan Ling Tian was unscathed.

Everyone had already expected this outcome so they were not surprised. They only lamented how the outcome was vastly different from what they had expected in the beginning. Wang Xiong, whom they were certain beyond a doubt would win, surrendered to Duan Ling Tian.

No one questioned Duan Ling Tian’s win as well after his show of strength.

The young disciples had heard the explanation of their elders so they knew Duan Ling Tian deserved to win.

“According to my elders, even if Wang Xiong was not injured, he would fight to a tie with Duan Ling Tian at most. It’s almost impossible for him to defeat Duan Ling Tian.”

“Indeed. That’s what my elder said as well.”

“My elder said even if Wang Xiong was not injured, Duan Ling Tian had a good chance of defeating Wang Xiong, not just end the fight in a tie. Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law is more profound than that of Wang Xiong. His doppelganger is also stronger than Wang Xiong’s bloodline power. Not only that, but his Sword Dao is also superior to Wang Xiong’s. As such, Duan Ling Tian can close the gap between their cultivation bases and win…”

Even if the young disciples did not believe others, they naturally believed their elders, especially the intermediate Emperors of Gods. Moreover, although their insight was not as good as that of an intermediate Emperor of Gods, they were not blind. They could see that Duan Ling Tian was exceptionally strong.

Back on the battlefield, as soon as Wang Xiong surrendered, the golden light on his body disappeared. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and the spatial storm around him that was dying down before he asked with a wry smile, “Duan Ling Tian, is this the extent of your strength?”

Upon hearing this question, the crowd fell silent. Indeed, was this the extent of Duan Ling Tian’s strength or was Duan Ling Tian still hiding his strength? They had instinctively assumed that was Duan Ling Tian’s full strength. Even the Emperors of Gods thought so.

Everyone looked at Duan Ling Tian intently, waiting for his answer.

Duan Ling Tian replied calmly, “It’s almost there…”

After all, Duan Ling Tian did not use his Mastery Dao earlier. However, if he did not find a way to raise the synergy between him and his doppelganger from Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao Principle over the past two days, he still might not have the strength he had today even if he had used his Mastery Dao.

“Almost there?” Wang Xiong was stunned. Then, when he recovered, he said bitterly, “So you didn’t use all your strength…”

“That’s right…”

“I understand now…” Wang Xiong said before he turned around and left the battlefield, looking crestfallen.

Those who were looking at Wang Xiong’s back could keenly sense his bitterness.

As for the others, they broke into an uproar when they regained their senses.

Even the Emperors of Gods were shocked when they heard that Duan Ling Tian did not use his full strength earlier.

Lin Dong Lai, who presided over the fights during the Seven Mansions Feast, looked at Duan Ling Tian with shining eyes as though he wanted to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

“I really didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast!”

“Fortunately, I didn’t place a bet yesterday! Otherwise, I’d lose miserably today!”

“Who expected this outcome?”

With this, Duan Ling Tian was the champion of the Seven Mansions Feast.

As Duan Ling Tian returned to stand with the people from the Pure Yang Sect, many Emperors of Gods from the other forces in the Seven Mansions congratulated Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu.

The people of the Pure Yang Sect were naturally ecstatic.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the people from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor were not disappointed by Wang Xiong’s loss.

However, the people from the Wanqi clan, who were seated next to the people of the Pure Yang Sect, were extremely gloomy at this moment. Since the time Ye Chen Feng broke into their clan’s estate and killed Wanqi Jue, an intermediate Emperor of Gods and a Golden Seat Elder of the Wanqi clan, the clan had become enemies with the Pure Yang Sect. Now that Duan Ling Tian was ranked first in the Seven Mansions Feast, how could they feel happy? It was natural that they felt unhappy.

At this time, Wanqi Yu Ning, who led the entourage from the Wanqi clan, rose to his feet. He said, “Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, Wanqi Hong did not look at Duan Ling Tian again after Duan Ling Tian left the battlefield. It was as though he was afraid to see Duan Ling Tian’s mocking gaze. After all, he did not hold back in ridiculing Duan Ling Tian every chance he got. Duan Ling Tian’s show of strength today was like a slap to his face.

The people from the Wanqi clan were the first to leave the venue.

The people from the Wanqi clan were not the only ones who were unhappy. Not everyone from the Pure Yang Sect was happy. For example, there was Yuan Han Jin, Yang Qian Ye’s master and an elder from the Ping Sheng faction. Although he had a smile on his face, his heart was cold.

‘Duan Ling Tian is so strong? Qian Ye hates him so much and doesn’t bother to hide it… Will he target Qian Ye in the future? Will I be implicated?’ Yuan Han Jin wondered inwardly, feeling a faint sense of crisis.

Yang Qian Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian. Despite the calm expression on his face, he was shocked. Duan Ling Tian’s strength was beyond his imagination.

…

Duan Ling Tian followed the people from the Pure Yang Sect back to their temporary accommodation. He soon discovered Ye Chen Feng and Zhen Ping Fan had followed him back to his wooden house.

Zhen Ping Fan could no longer wait. He asked unhappily, “Duan Ling Tian, when did you comprehend the Double Teleportation Profundity? You didn’t tell me about it! Also, your synergy with your doppelganger was very high when you were in formation. How did you do it?”

Zhen Ping Fan was very curious about this.

Ye Chen Feng remained silent. After all, Zhen Ping Fan had asked the questions he wanted to ask.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that the duo came looking for him. Unlike Ye Chen Feng who controlled his expressions, he could clearly see the curiosity burning in Zhen Ping Fan’s eyes since earlier. He replied, “I comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity some time ago… As for the synergy between me and my doppelganger… I’ll have to thank Elder Ye for that. After studying his Sword Dao Principle, although I didn’t improve my Sword Dao, I was inspired by it and managed to raise the level of synergy between me and my doppelganger. As a result, my strength increased. As for how much stronger I became, you both saw it earlier…”

Ye Chen Feng nodded, feeling gratified. It seemed like his efforts over the past two days were not in vain.

Zhen Ping Fan turned to look at Ye Chen Feng with burning eyes as he asked, “Junior Uncle Ye, when will you show me your Sword Dao Principle?”

Ye Chen Feng glanced at Zhen Ping Fan and said, “I’ve shown it to you several times, didn’t I? Until now, you haven’t even comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao. This means that you’re not suited to learn the Sword Dao.”

Zhen Ping Fan seemed to wilt slightly upon hearing this. Then, he said unwillingly, “I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the Sword Dao Principle you showed Duan Ling Tian…”

Zhen Ping Fan knew that the Sword Dao Principle Ye Chen Feng showed Duan Ling Tian was inspired by Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian’s master. In his opinion, he might not be suitable to comprehend Ye Chen Feng’s Sword Dao, but that might not be the case for Feng Qing Yang’s Sword Dao.

Ye Chen Feng shook his head and rejected Zhen Ping Fan. “I can share the Sword Dao I mastered. Unless I obtain Duan Ling Tian’s master’s approval, I can’t show you the Sword Dao Principle I showed Duan Ling Tian…”

Zhen Ping Fan was not discouraged. He looked at Duan Ling Tian immediately and asked with a grin, “Duan Ling Tian, can you ask your master for his approval? I remember you said that your master left his doppelganger in the Devata Realm so you can speak to him using your doppelganger, right?

Duan Ling Tian did not refuse Zhen Ping Fang. He quickly spoke to his master through the doppelganger he had left in the Solitary Destructive Heaven. After a moment, he nodded and said to Ye Chen Feng, “Elder Ye, my master is fine with it…”

Zhen Ping Fang’s eyes shone with excitement as he said, “Junior Uncle Ye, did you hear that? Duan Ling Tian’s master agreed to it!”

“Alright, alright, I’ll show it to you when we return to the sect,” Ye Chen Feng said, “The Seven Mansions Feast should officially end tomorrow. If it ends tomorrow, we’ll leave the day after tomorrow. There are some things we have to do…”

After saying that, Ye Chen Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian.
