While the crowd was still feeling speechless, a scoff rang from the independent courtyard. A loud bang rang in the air as a figure shot out of the door and into the sky to face Duan Ling Tian.
Wang Yu Sheng glared at Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, did you come to challenge me?”
Wang Yu Sheng did not expect Duan Ling Tian to come looking for him.
“Wang Yun Sheng,” Duan Ling Tian said icily, “I refused your challenge previously because I didn’t want to hurt you. However, your Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is too vicious. They dare to kill and destroy everyone and everything related to me in the lower realms.”
Wang Yun Sheng’s expression changed slightly. He was unaware of this matter. However, he was not surprised since this was indeed something the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would do. He was rather curious about the culprit who initiated it.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the students in the surroundings looked at Wang Yun Sheng with a mixture of fear and disgust. They discussed among themselves in hushed voices, and some of them hit the nail on the head.
“This isn’t the first time the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation has done something like this, right?”
“That’s right. They’re too outrageous. How could they vent their anger on Duan Ling Tian’s family and friends because of such a small matter?”
“I don’t think they did that only because Duan Ling Tian rejected Wang Yun Sheng’s challenge. From what I heard, before Vice Academy Yang recruited Duan Ling Tian, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sent someone to recruit Duan Ling Tian as well. If you ask me, I think they mainly targeted Duan Ling Tian because of his refusal to join their congregation. The matter between Wang Yun Sheng and Duan Ling Tian was just a trigger.”
At this time, Wang Yun Sheng sent a message to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to confirm if the congregation indeed sent someone to the lower realms to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian. Although such a matter would definitely be kept a secret, it would not be difficult for him to find out the truth. He was the direct descendant of an advanced Supreme God in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, after all. Apart from that, before he even received an answer, he had already suspected that the person behind the matter was the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
After a moment, the curiosity in Wang Yu Shen’s eyes disappeared. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said indifferently, “Duan Ling Tian, without concrete evidence, it’s best you don’t spout nonsense. Although you’re Vice Academy Master Yang’s junior brother, you can’t simply slander our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.”
Wang Yun Sheng was not stupid enough to admit it even if he knew the truth. Even if everyone suspected the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, he and the congregation would not admit it. After all, if they admitted it, Yang Yu Chen definitely would not let things go. Who knew if Yang Yu Chen would go to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to seek justice for Duan Ling Tian? Moreover, considering the relationship between Yang Yu Chen and Su Bi Lie, who knew if Su Bi Lie would get involved as well? At that time, in order to appease Yang Yu Chen and Su Bi Lie, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would be forced to hand over their Vice Leader.
Duan Ling Tian sneered when he saw the changes in Wang Yun Sheng’s expression. He knew that Wang Yun Sheng must have just discovered the truth so Wang Yun Sheng was no longer curious. This also further confirmed the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s involvement. He was naturally not surprised that Wang Yun Sheng denied the congregation’s involvement. After all, admitting the congregation was behind the matter was extremely disadvantageous to the congregation.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed. “You know very well if I’m slandering the congregation or not. Like I said earlier, I rejected your challenge before because I didn’t want to hurt you. However, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation has gone too far. I challenge you to a life-or-death battle today. Do you dare to accept it? If you dare not, then I can only say that the Holy Son of the Primordial Spirit Congregation is a coward and a piece of trash!”
The crowd was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words.
A hint of fear flashed in Wang Yun Sheng’s eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. As one of the Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation and one of the top prodigies in the Profound Energy Land, he was naturally not a fool. For Duan Ling Tian to challenge him to a life-or-death battle, Duan Ling Tian had to be very confident. Although he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to kill him, he still did not want to act recklessly. After all, his life was at stake.
When the crowd reacted, they began to discuss animatedly among themselves.
“Duan Ling Tian actually challenged Wang Yun Sheng to a life-or-death battle? I don’t know if Duan Ling Tian’s up to something, but he’s really bold. He must be very confident as well!”
“I don’t think Wang Yun Sheng will accept the challenge. His life is at stake after all.”
“Duan Ling Tian is really amazing. If Wang Yun Sheng rejects his challenge, he’ll be indirectly admitting that he’s no match for Duan Ling Tian!”
As the crowd grew larger and larger, Wang Yun Sheng said indifferently, “I reject your challenge for Vice Academy Master Yang’s sake. After all, it’ll be a pity if he loses his junior brother.”
Duan Ling Tian sneered. “Wang Yun Sheng, it’s not difficult to admit you’re afraid. You’re just a coward. I don’t even need to use my doppelganger to kill you. How about it? If you accept my challenge, I promise I won’t use my doppelgangers.”
Everyone knew that only those from the lower realms could form and use doppelgangers. The power of the doppelgangers were comparable to bloodline powers that natives of Realms of Gods possessed.
The crowd thought that Duan Ling Tian was exaggerating when he said he could kill Wang Yun Sheng without using his doppelgangers. No matter what, Wang Yun Sheng was one of the top young prodigies in the Profound Energy Land, after all.
“You won’t use your doppelgangers?” Wang Yun Sheng raised an eyebrow, feeling his heart waver. Without using doppelgangers, Duan Ling Tian’s strength would be greatly weakened. As such, in his opinion, the possibility of Duan Ling Tian being able to kill him was zero.
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “If you’re willing, I’ll swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath now that I won’t use my doppelgangers during our life-or-death battle. I’ll suffer a horrible death if I go back on my words. Wang Yun Sheng, do you dare to accept the challenge?”
Everyone shifted their eyes to Wang Yun Sheng immediately. They were surprised that Duan Ling Tian would make such a huge compromise and wondered if it was enough to make Wang Yun Sheng accept the challenge. In any case, none of them thought it was possible for Duan Ling Tian to kill Wang Yun Sheng without using his doppelgangers.
“Do you think Wang Yun Sheng will accept the challenge?”
“Maybe? Who knows?”
“Isn’t Duan Ling Tian worried Wang Yun Sheng will agree to it? The condition he proposed isn’t favorable to him, right?”
“I still don’t think Wang Yun Sheng will accept the challenge even if Duan Ling Tian made a huge compromise. His life is at stake, after all…”
Most people felt that Wang Yun Sheng would reject Duan Ling Tian’s change, but there were some who thought otherwise since they felt like Duan Ling Tian was just trying to intimidate Wang Yun Sheng.
“Do you dare to accept the challenge?” Duan Ling Tian asked again as the mocking smile on his face widened.
Wang Yun Sheng’s expression changed slightly before he said, “I’ve already said. I don’t wish for Vice Academy Master Yang to lose his junior brother so quickly…”
Duan Ling Tian looked at Wang Yun Sheng disdainfully.
Even the crowd’s gazes were a little strange when they looked at Wang Yun Sheng. What kind of shoddy excuse was that?
Duan Ling Tian chuckled. “Wang Yun Sheng, should I invite my Third Senior Brother here so he can tell you that you don’t have to do this for his sake?”
Wang Yun Sheng said impatiently, “Duan Ling Tian, I’ll fight if it’s an ordinary challenge. However, I disdained to fight you in a life-or-death battle. Do you think you’re worthy of me using my life as a stake? How ridiculous! You overestimate your importance, Duan Ling Tian. I, Wang Yun Sheng, am a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation and the direct descendant of an advanced Supreme God. My life is as precious as gold. You, on the other hand, are nothing but trash from the lower realm. I…”
Duan Ling Tian yawned before he interjected, “In the end, you’re just afraid of me, Wang Yun Sheng. The Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is nothing but a joke!”
Duan Ling Tian sneered before he turned and left without sparing another glance for Wang Yun Sheng. At the same time, he could not help but feel disappointed that Wang Yun Sheng was so cautious.
