"Duan Lingtian."
Soon after, a familiar voice entered Duan Ling Tian's ears. Without turning his head, Duan Ling Tian could tell who the owner of the voice was.
It was Nangong Yi who had come to Ling Xuan Peak with him to participate in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers.
However, there were two faint sounds of wind approaching him. Therefore, he could easily tell that it was not only Nangong Yi but Nangong Chen as well.
"You're here."
Duan Lingtian nodded his head lightly.
"Duan Lingtian, did Lu Zhong look for you?"
After Nangong Yi came to Duan Lingtian's side, he could not help but look at Lu Zhong who was standing behind Song Ting in the distance.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded his head in response to Nangong Yi's question.
"You won against him?"
Nangong Yi asked in surprise.
"We didn't fight."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
Although Lu Zhong had looked for him, he did not attack him. Therefore, it did not matter whether he won or not.
"You didn't fight?"
This time, it was Nangong Yi's turn to be surprised.
One should know that when Lu Zhong found him, he was furious. If it were not for the fact that he was here to participate in the Selection of the Martial Emperor's disciples and followers, and that he was not the culprit, he would have definitely attacked him.
However, Duan Lingtian was different.
Lu Zhong's younger brother had died in the hands of Duan Lingtian. Logically, Lu Zhong would not let him go so easily.
"If you were to fight him now, would you be confident?"
Nangong Yi did not ask for the reason but he was curious.
Although Duan Lingtian had killed Lu Zhong's younger brother, Lu Yi, who was a disciple of Ling Xuan Peak's Emperor Wu, Duan Lingtian had taken him by surprise.
If Lu Yi had been prepared, Duan Lingtian would not have been able to kill him.
After all, Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was too low. The boost from his Spirit Weapon was limited.
Lu Yi had died because of his carelessness.
If it was Duan Lingtian from half a year ago, Nangong Yi was certain he would not be able to defeat Lu Zhong, the disciple of Emperor Wu who was said to be even more powerful than his younger brother, Lu Yi.
Among Emperor Wu's disciples from Ling Xuan Peak, his strength was ranked in the top three.
However, now that half a year had passed, he did not know how much Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base had recovered so he did not dare to jump to conclusions.
After all, Duan Lingtian had only spent a month to recover his cultivation base from the First Level Core Formation Stage to the First Level Void Interpretation Stage.
Now that half a year had passed, how much had Duan Lingtian's cultivation base recovered?
He didn't know about this.
"Confident?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned when he heard Nangong Yi's question. Then, he smiled mysteriously. This made Nangong Yi even more curious.
"Why? Are you confident? "
Nangong Yi could not help but ask again.
However, Duan Lingtian still did not answer him. It made him feel depressed.
In the distance, Ling Xuan Peak's Emperor Wu's second direct disciple, Song Ting, and Emperor Wu's third direct disciple, Zhong An, had gathered together. This meant that the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers was about to begin.
Song Ting and Zhong An were the two main judges for the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers today.
Naturally, other than the two judges, there was another group of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers today.
The group of Martial Emperor's disciples acted as supervisors today to monitor the specific situation of the selection today.
"Third Junior Brother, it's been a long time."
Song Ting smiled as he greeted Zhong An. If one did not know better, one would think that he and Zhong An were close brothers.
"Yes, it's been a long time … Second Senior Brother," Zhong An replied indifferently.
Zhong An replied indifferently with a fake smile on his face.
In the depths of their eyes, there was a hint of hostility.
"Since both of us are here, shall we begin the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers today?"
Song Ting asked.
"Let's begin."
Zhong An nodded. At the same time, he looked around and announced in a loud voice, "All martial artists who are participating in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers today, please descend to the stone platform below. The first selection will begin in fifteen minutes."
As soon as Zhong An's words echoed in the air, the group of people began to descend one after another. They landed on the vast stone platform below like dumplings and stood there.
In the beginning, Duan Lingtian and Nangong did not join in the fun.
It was only when there were fewer people descending that they stepped on the air and landed on the side of the stone platform. They waited for the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers to begin.
"Tsk tsk … Nangong Chen, are they your companions?"
Not long after Duan Ling Tian and the other two landed, a voice that deserved a beating sounded in a timely manner. The tone was filled with ridicule.
A middle-aged man in a silver robe appeared in front of Duan Lingtian and the other two in just a blink of an eye. From the beginning until the end, he did not look at Nangong Chen at all. Instead, he stared at Duan Lingtian and Nangong Yi intently.
"I don't think I've seen them before … Does this mean their cultivation base isn't even at the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage?"
The silver-robed middle-aged man had a mocking smile on his face when he reached the end of his sentence.
Based on his words, it was obvious he was someone who had been cultivating at the same place as Nangong Chen for the past six months.
When Duan Lingtian and the other two first arrived at Ling Xuan Peak, they were assigned to different places to cultivate.
For example, Duan Lingtian was assigned to one place because his cultivation base was below the Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stage.
Nangong Yi's cultivation base was above the Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stage and below the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage. He was assigned to another place.
Nangong Chen's cultivation base was above the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage. The place he was assigned to was different from Duan Lingtian and Nangong Yi.
Since the silver-robed middle-aged man was assigned to the same place as Nangong Chen, it meant he was above the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage six months ago.
Moreover, since he dared to disregard Nangong Chen and provoke Duan Lingtian and Nangong Yi in front of Nangong Chen, it meant he was not afraid of Nangong Chen. His strength was on par with Nangong Chen at the very least.
He might even be stronger than Nangong Chen.
"Scram!"
Nangong Chen, who had a cold expression on his face, shouted. It was rare for him to speak.
As Nangong Chen shouted, the silver-robed middle-aged man's face turned completely grave. He glared at Nangong Chen and said fiercely, "Nangong Chen, I hope your two companions don't meet me in the selection later on. Otherwise, I'll make sure they die a horrible death!"
When the silver-robed middle-aged man reached the end of his sentence, his eyes gleamed fiercely as though he was about to devour someone.
"You'll have to have the ability to make sure we die a horrible death first."
Nangong Yi, who did not know what was going on, sneered when he heard the silver-robed middle-aged man's threat.
Duan Lingtian was the only one who did not speak from the beginning until the end. He merely glanced at the silver-robed middle-aged man coldly before retracting his gaze.
A hint of killing intent that was difficult to detect flashed in the depth of his eyes.
"You'll find out very soon whether I have the ability or not! Even Nangong Chen doesn't dare to say that he can defeat me. You're just a kid who hasn't even stepped into the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage. It'll be as easy as stepping on an ant for me to kill you. "
The silver-robed middle-aged man continued to mock Nangong Yi when he heard his words. Then, he left under Nangong Yi's furious gaze and stood at the side.
"Nangong Chen, you can't defeat him?"
Nangong Yi retracted his gaze and immediately looked at Nangong Chen as he asked.
"It's a tie."
Nangong Chen replied calmly. He was a man of few words.
"No wonder he's so arrogant to challenge you, me, and Duan Lingtian."
Nangong Yi snorted. "However, it's one thing for him to challenge you and me, but he actually dares to challenge Duan Lingtian. He's really courting death!"
Nangong Yi looked at Duan Lingtian when he reached the end of his sentence. However, he noticed that Duan Lingtian had a calm expression on his face. It was as though he was not enraged by the silver-robed middle-aged man's provocation.
Nangong Yi was instantly disappointed.
To Duan Lingtian, the silver-robed middle-aged man's incident was merely a small interlude. He completely tossed it to the back of his mind after a short while.
A quarter of an hour passed very quickly.
"Fifteen minutes have passed."
"The first round of selection is about to begin … I wonder what the first round of selection is going to be."
"We'll find out soon enough."
…
Many people whispered among themselves. They were filled with anticipation and anxiety toward the upcoming selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers.
There were no more than ten people, including Duan Lingtian, who could remain calm.
Even Nangong Yi had a grave expression on his face. He was vigilant as he waited for the first round of selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers to begin.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Song Ting and Zhong An flew out at the same time. In just a short while, they were above Duan Lingtian and the others. They stood there without saying a word for a long time.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
…
Just when the crowd was puzzled, Song Ting and Zhong An finally made their moves. Their bodies trembled slightly as a majestic aura surged out of their bodies.
The aura that belonged to a powerhouse at the peak of the Martial Monarch Stage was completely released as it descended menacingly on Duan Ling Tian and the others.
When the aura of two peak Martial Royal powerhouses overlapped, it was no longer as simple as one plus one.
In the area that was shrouded by the aura, other than Duan Lingtian and a few dozen people, the others were on the verge of collapsing.
Boom!
After a short while, someone could no longer support himself and fell on his buttocks. His face was ashen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Following that, more and more people fell.
The people who fell first were those who had been cultivating in the same place as Duan Lingtian for the past six months. They were all martial artists below the Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stage.
Under the aura of two peak Martial Royal powerhouses, they could not support themselves at all.
Soon after, other than Duan Lingtian, all the people who had been cultivating in the same place as Duan Lingtian for the past six months fell and were eliminated.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash! "
Song Ting snorted coldly and said disdainfully as he watched the scene below him from the sky.
"Our Ling Xuan Peak doesn't have any strict requirements for those who participate in the selection of Emperor Wu's disciples and followers this time. Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to come. However, it turns out that even if they came, they were just overestimating themselves, "Zhong An said calmly.
Zhong An said plainly. He, who was also looking down, did not seem to be surprised by this.
"You want to become a Martial Emperor's disciple or follower of our Ling Xuan Peak with such little strength?"
"They're overestimating themselves!"
