Chapter 4113 - The Social Circles in the Myriad Laws Academy

When Wang Yun Sheng sensed the crowd’s strange gazes, his expression changed imperceptibly before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I, Wang Yun Sheng, would like to have a friendly sparring session with you. Are you up for it?”

The crowd’s gazes turned even stranger. In their opinion, Wang Yun Sheng was only trying to save his dignity by turning around and challenging Duan Ling Tian to a friendly match after refusing to fight a life-or-death battle with Duan Ling Tian.

“Wang Yun Sheng challenged Duan Ling Tian to a friendly match?”

“If Duan Ling Tian agrees to it and wins, Wang Yun Sheng has nothing to lose, and if Wang Yun Sheng wins, he will regain his dignity.”

“Duan Ling Tian won’t agree to it unless he’s a fool.”

“I agree.

“Isn’t Wang Yun Sheng aware that this is pointless? Does he really think Duan Ling Tian is so foolish as to accept his challenge?”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian walked away without even turning back. At the same time, he said disdainfully, “Look for me when you muster up enough courage to fight a life-or-death battle with me, you piece of trash!”

Wang Yun Sheng was so infuriated by Duan Ling Tian’s words that for a moment he almost accepted Duan Ling Tian’s challenge to a life-or-death battle. However, he managed to maintain his composure and restrain himself from acting rashly. In the end, he only gritted his teeth and consoled himself inwardly.

‘How could he endure it?’ Duan Ling Tian assumed it would be easy to provoke Wang Yun Sheng into accepting a life-or-death battle. Wang Yun Sheng’s reaction was out of his expectations.

“He’s too cautious. It seems like I won’t be able to openly kill him in the Myriad Laws Academy. I’ll have to look for another opportunity in the future. It’s not just him, but I want to kill all of the disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the Myriad Laws Academy as well!” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath as killing intent flashed in his eyes.

…

After Duan Ling Tian returned to his room, word about what had happened began to spread like a wildfire in the Myriad Laws Academy.

Although most people felt that Wang Yun Sheng was stronger than Duan Ling Tian, when they heard that Wang Yun Sheng refused Duan Ling Tian’s challenge, they all thought Wang Yun Sheng was too cautious and timid.

Due to this matter, Duan Ling Tian, who was almost forgotten, became famous again overnight in the Myriad Laws Academy.

There was no one in the Myriad Laws Academy who were unaware that Duan Ling Tian returned almost half a year later to challenge Wang Yun Sheng to a life-or-death battle and that Wang Yun Sheng refused Duan Ling Tian’s challenge.

…

The members of the Legacy faction were speechless when they heard about the latest conflict between Duan Ling Tian and Wang Yun Sheng.

“Duan Ling Tian’s safety is our main concern now. Does he have a death wish? Does he really think he’s a match for Wang Yun Sheng?”

“We can’t be held accountable if he dies during a life-or-death battle with Wang Yun Sheng.”

“Unfortunately, Wang Yun Sheng didn’t accept the challenge. He must be worried that Duan Ling Tian is stronger than him.”

“Wang Yun Sheng is such a coward.”

The Legacy faction had been warned from making a move against Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, they had to ensure his safety in the Myriad Laws Academy. However, they naturally hated Duan Ling Tian so much that they could not wait for him to die. As such, they were disappointed that Wang Yun Sheng refused his challenge. After all, if Duan Ling Tian died during the life-or-death battle, they would not be held accountable for Duan Ling Tian’s death. They also felt that Wang Yun Sheng was too cowardly. In their opinion, regardless of how highly talented Duan Ling Tian was, Duan Ling Tian was not even 3,000 years old. He might be outstanding in the Seven Mansions, but there were plenty of talents like him outside of the Seven Mansions.

…

There were many social circles in the Myriad Laws Academy. Those from the same forces, including those from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, would naturally form a clique of their own.

The disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, who joined the Myriad Laws Academy, were also rather outstanding even if they could not compare to Wang Yun Sheng. They were only slightly inferior to him. In fact, some of them were as talented as Wang Yun Sheng, but they were not as strong as him only because they did not receive the resources he did.

At this moment, the disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, except for Wang Yun Sheng, were gathered in a dormitory.

“Hey, does anyone know what’s going through the Holy Son’s mind? Why did he refuse Duan Ling Tian to fight a life-or-death battle?” one of them asked with a grim expression on his face.

“Perhaps, the Holy Son was worried that he was not a match for Duan Ling Tian. After all, if that was the case, he risked dying.”

Upon hearing this, someone said reproachfully, “Hu Lan Qi! Enough with your mocking words! I know you dislike the Holy Son, but this isn’t the time to fight among ourselves. Don’t forget that we’re meeting today for the sake of our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation!”

Hu Lan Qi, a handsome young man, smiled faintly as he said, “What’s the point of meeting over such a trivial matter? There’s nothing to discuss. Are we going to choose someone to challenge Duan Ling Tian to a life-or-death battle to test his capability for the Holy Son? If this is what you have in mind, please leave me out of it.”

As soon as Hu Lan Qi finished speaking, he left the room without looking back.

Following that, another two disciples followed suit.

“I don’t want to be involved in this matter as well. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with us, to begin with.”

“Me too. Since the few of you have a good relationship with the Holy Son, you can figure it out yourselves.”

In the end, there were only four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation left in the room. All of them had either a good relationship with Wang Yun Sheng or were from the same faction in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. Their expressions were unsightly as they watched the others leave. Alas, there was nothing they could do about it. Those who left did not have a close relationship with Wang Yun Sheng so it was not surprising that they did not care about this matter. Moreover, the others were not obligated to help Wang Yun Sheng, and the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would not blame them for remaining indifferent as well.

The four disciples looked at each other with unwilling expressions on their faces.

“Are we really going to leave this matter alone?”

“Those three will definitely report this matter to the congregation. If the Holy Son doesn’t do something, his position in the congregation will definitely be affected. That won’t be good for us…”

The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation had more than one Holy Son. Those who had a good relationship with the Holy Sons or come from the same faction as the Holy Sons would naturally benefit as well. As such, the four disciples would be affected if Wang Yun Sheng’s position was affected. As for those three who had left, they naturally did not care since Wang Yun Sheng’s matter would not affect them at all.

“Do you think Duan Ling Tian is capable of killing the Holy Son?”

“Impossible!”

“I agree. I saw the recordings of Duan Ling Tian’s battles through the Floating Image Pearls. He’s talented, but the difference between his and the Holy Son’s strength is very wide. In fact, if we challenge him, even if we can’t beat him, it’ll still be difficult for him to kill us…”

“The Holy Son is too cautious…Saying that, the chances of us dying in a life-or-battle with Duan Ling Tian is higher than that of the Holy Son…”

“One of us should test Duan Ling Tian’s strength, but we can’t fight a life-or-death battle with him… Although I don’t think he’ll be able to kill me based on the recordings I’ve seen, it’s not surprising if he has grown stronger. He’s not even 3,000 years old after all.”

“I agree…”

“Let’s just try to challenge him to an ordinary fight first…”

The disciples did not think it was possible for Duan Ling Tian to kill Wang Yun Sheng, and they also did not have the courage to challenge Duan Ling Tian to a life-or-death battle. In the end, they quickly decided to challenge Duan Ling Tian to an ordinary fight.

They did not waste time and flew to Building 2. One of the hovered in the air and said loudly, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m Hong Li from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. I came to challenge you. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”

After Hong Li finished speaking, the students in the dormitory and the individual courtyards slowly gathered to watch the show.

It did not take long before a voice rang from room 603 in Building 2.

“I’m not interested in sparring. If you really want to fight, let’s fight a life-or-death battle.”
