Chapter 4068: Duan Ling Tian Appears
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Naturally, everyone was surprised when they saw Duan Ling Tian was absent. The first thought that appeared in their minds was that Duan Ling Tian had given up.
Coward! Wanqi sneered as he thought to himself, Although I was defeated by Wang Xiong, at least I had the guts to face him! Duan Ling Tian, youre not worthy to be compared to me because you dont even dare to face Wang Xiong!
After being overshadowed by Duan Ling Tian for so long, Wanqi Hong was in high spirits at this moment.
Meanwhile, the fights to determine the top rankings of the Seven Mansions Feast continued despite Duan Ling Tians absence. Those with higher ranks were quite conservative when issuing challenges.
The first fight began with Lin Yuan from the Howling Flames Sect, who was ranked fourth for now. He challenged Han Di, the young prodigy from the United Heavens Sect.
Many people thought Han Di would likely surrender without a fight. Hence, they were surprised when Han Di chose to fight Lin Yuan. Unsurprisingly, Han Di was defeated by Lin Yuan with ten moves. Han Di surrendered decisively as soon as he fell into a disadvantageous position so he was not injured at all.
Ye Chen Feng smiled faintly and said, Han Di is quite smart. He held back during his previous fights and chose to show his strength now. Consequently, those who are ranked below him wont challenge him unless theyre confident.
Liu Feng Gu and the other elders from the Pure Yang Sect agreed with Ye Chen Feng. However, they were rather distracted at this moment since Duan Ling Tian had yet to show up. Although they felt that Duan Ling Tian might forfeit this fight, he still hoped that he would show up. They assumed Zhen Ping Fang was also absent to ensure Duan Ling Tians safety.
At this time, Lin Dong Lai called out, Participant number two, please enter the battlefield.
Wang Xiong, the dark horse of the Seven Mansions Feast from the Frozen Mountain Manor, flew out in a leisurely manner after Lin Dong Lai spoke. He was dressed sloppily like he usually did, and his wine gourd hung at his waist like before. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he said, I challenge participant number one, Duan Ling Tian.
Wang Xiongs eyes shone with anticipation as he looked at the people from the Pure Yang Sect. Although many people thought Duan Ling Tian had surrendered, he did not think so. Although there was no shame in surrendering, it would definitely affect Duan Ling Tians cultivation path in the future. As such, he was certain Duan Ling Tian would not risk forming a heart knot by surrendering since surrendering would affect him mentally.
At the same time, the crowd was discussing among themselves noisily and animatedly.
If Duan Ling Tian doesnt show up after 15 minutes, Wang Xiong will win this fight!
I didnt expect the fight for first place would be so boring. I wonder if Duan Ling Tian will show up tomorrow to fight Lin Yuan for second place?
Although the top three participants will obtain extra slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm, the rewards between the three places are quite great.
Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian might not even show up to fight Lin Yuan tomorrow...
Time continued to pass as the crowd continued to chat.
In just a blink of an eye, about seven minutes had already passed.
Lin Dong Lai looked at the people from the Pure Yang Sect and said loudly, About seven minutes have passed. If he doesnt show up by the end of 15 minutes, hell be considered to have forfeited the fight.
Many people thought Lin Dong Lais words were pointless. At this point, they were even more certain that Duan Ling Tian was not going to show up.
...
At the same time, in a magnificent jade palace high above the clouds.
Grandma Zu, is brother going to show up? a teenage girl asked apprehensively as she looked at the old woman in front of her.
Well find out soon enough, the old woman said as she shook her head and looked at the Mirror Image that showed the battlefield at the venue of the Seven Mansions Feast.
All of a sudden, the teenage girls eyes lit up as she exclaimed, There he is! Brother Ling Tian is here!
In the Mirror Image, a purple figure appeared on the battlefield across from another figure.
...
Duan Ling Tian teleported into the battlefield, standing across from Wang Xiong calmly.
Wang Xiongs eyes brightened when he saw Duan Ling Tian.
At the same time, the crowd broke into an uproar.
Duan Ling Tian actually showed up?
Why did he show up at the last minute?
Hmph! In my opinion, hes just seeking attention!
So what if he showed up? Hes still no match for Wang Xiong!
Everyone was surprised to see Duan Ling Tian, but they still did not think he was a match for Wang Xiong.
Meanwhile, the members from the Pure Yang Sect were rather excited to see Duan Ling Tian even if they did not think he stood a chance of defeating Wang Xiong. After all, he was representing the Pure Yang Sect. It was better to fight than to surrender without a fight.
Soon after Duan Ling Tian appeared, Zhen Ping Fan appeared as well. He greeted Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu before he took a seat. A hint of doubt could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
At this time, Yuan Han Jin said to Yang Qian Ye through Voice Transmission, Have a good look. Your enemy may be a monstrous talent, but hes not invincible. Hes not the strongest among his peers, and therell always be someone stronger than him.
Yang Qian Ye did not respond to Yuan Han Jin. His face was expressionless, but he was filled with disdain for Yuan Han Jin. After all, although Wang Xiong and Duan Ling Tian could be considered peers, their age gap was quite big. How could someone who was not even 3,000 years old be held to the same standards as someone who was more than 8,000 years old?
At the same time, Wanqi Hong frowned. The sense of superiority he had found earlier when he thought Duan Ling Tian was too cowardly to show up disappeared immediately. He came? Then, he thought to himself with a sneer, So what? Hell still be beaten anyway.
Wang Xiong looked at Duan Ling Tian. His expression was no longer lackadaisical. Instead, it was solemn as he said, Duan Ling Tian, your reputation precedes you. An intermediate Lord of Gods from the lower realm whos not even 3,000 years old... When I was your age, I was also a Lord of Gods, but I couldnt compare to you at all.
Wang Xiongs praise shocked the crowd. They, including the people from the Frozen Mountain Manor, were unaware that Wang Xiong had also become a Lord of Gods before the age of 3,000.
It was not surprising the members of the Frozen Mountain Manor were unaware of this. After all, Wang Xiong only returned about 1,000 years ago. Moreover, he had always maintained a low profile and only displayed mediocre strength.
Duan Ling Tian replied with a faint smile, Our fight today has nothing to do with our age. The Seven Mansions Feast is a platform for everyone below the age of 10,000. Were the same. Then, he added confidently, Youll have to defeat me to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast. Otherwise, youll have to settle for second place.
Many people thought Duan Ling Tian was only feigning his confidence.
Wang Xiong smiled and said magnanimously, If I can defeat you, Ill admit defeat and accept ranking second.
Wang Xiong spoke very casually as though it did not matter to him if he ranked first or second.
At this moment, Lin Dong Lai interjected, Alright, you can start now since everyones here.
Duan Ling Tian and Wang Xiongs eyes flashed.
At the same time, the crowd straightened their backs and watched excitedly.
