The City Governor of Mound Hill City sat in the main seat. His sharp gaze swept across the thirteen people, including Duan Lingtian.
At that moment, Duan Lingtian felt a majestic Spiritual Energy sweeping toward him … The Spiritual Energy shrouded his entire body in just a blink of an eye, making him feel like he had nowhere to hide.
Duan Lingtian knew the City Governor of Mound Hill City was probing them.
The City Governor of Mound Hill City's gaze finally landed on the green-clad young man who carried a sheathed longsword on his back.
"You must be the leader of the Thirteen Gangsters, Ling Yun?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City asked calmly as he narrowed his eyes and stared at the green-clad young man with a piercing gaze.
"Yes."
Ling Yun did not dare to slack in front of the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"Not bad, not bad … You're only thirty years old, but you've already broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
Your future is limitless, "the City Governor of Mound Hill City nodded with admiration in his eyes.
Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?
As soon as the City Governor of Mound Hill City said that, apart from Ling Yun and Duan Lingtian, everyone present, including the Heavenly Leader Guardian and the black-clad young man standing behind the City Governor of Mound Hill City, were shocked.
"He's really on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage!"
The Heavenly Leader Guardian was the first to react. He swept his Spiritual Energy toward Ling Yun and soon detected Ling Yun's cultivation base with his Spiritual Secret Tactic.
The Spiritual Secret Tactic used to detect cultivation base was different from the Spiritual Secret Tactic used to detect age.
The latter would work as long as the person's cultivation base was not one level higher than his.
In other words, a Martial or Dao Cultivator on the Early Mortal Shedding Stage could detect the age of a Martial or Dao Cultivator on the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage with his Spiritual Secret Tactic.
However, the former could only be detected by someone whose cultivation base was one level higher than his.
In other words, only Martial or Dao Cultivators on the Saint Rudiment Stage could detect the specific cultivation base of a Martial or Dao Cultivator on the Mortal Shedding Stage.
Of course, Duan Lingtian's Divine Eye did not have such a restriction.
The Heavenly Leader Guardian was also at the Saint Rudiment Stage so it was easy for him to detect Ling Yun's cultivation base.
Although Ling Yun had already broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage when he came to the assembly hall three months ago, the Heavenly Leader Guardian did not check his cultivation base at that time.
That was why he only found out now that Ling Yun was already a Martial Cultivator at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Ling Yun has broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?"
Apart from Ling Yun and Duan Ling Tian, the other eleven Thirteen Gangsters had a hint of horror in their eyes when they looked at Ling Yun again.
Especially Xiong Hu, whose face was full of bitterness.
A few days ago, he noticed that he was showing signs of breaking through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage … Initially, he thought that he would be the first among the Thirteen Gangsters to break through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage. However, he did not expect Ling Yun to break through before him.
This made him feel powerless.
The black-clad young man behind the City Governor of Mound Hill City looked at Ling Yun with intense battle intent.
"Ling Yun, I've already thought of a test for you."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City spoke again and successfully attracted everyone's attention … The eyes of the other twelve Thirteen Gangsters, including Duan Lingtian, lit up.
What kind of test would the City Governor set for Ling Yun?
Would the test he set for Ling Yun be the same as the one they had to go through?
Their hearts were filled with anticipation.
Ling Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the City Governor of Mound Hill City's words.
Even the Heavenly Leader Guardian looked at the City Governor of Mound Hill City with anticipation.
"Ling Yun … My disciple, Su Qi, is also at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage like you. I'll take you as my disciple if you can withstand three moves from him without being defeated. "
Finally, the City Governor of Mound Hill City spoke under everyone's watchful eyes and revealed the test he had set for Ling Yun.
The eyes of the black-clad young man, Su Qi, who was standing behind the City Governor of Mound Hill City, lit up when he heard what the City Governor of Mound Hill City said. He then took a step forward and stood next to the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"He's Su Qi?"
"Master City Governor's disciple? A genius Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent? "
"I can't believe that Master City Governor's disciple is also a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator … However, since they're both Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivators, isn't it a little too easy for Master City Governor to set such a test for Ling Yun?"
"I think so too."
…
Many of the Thirteen Gangsters whispered among themselves.
They all thought that the test the City Governor of Mound Hill City had set for Ling Yun was too easy for him … Of course, they were not dissatisfied even though they thought it was too easy.
Ling Yun was only 30 years old, but he was already a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator.
They would not be surprised if such a genius was exempted from the test and directly became the City Governor of Mound Hill City's disciple.
Ling Yun frowned subtly when he heard what the City Governor of Mound Hill City said.
He did not like the feeling of being looked down upon.
"Ling Yun, make your move … I'd like to see if you, the leader of the Thirteen Gangsters, are qualified to be my junior brother."
Su Qi looked directly at Ling Yun and said calmly.
"Make our move here?"
While Duan Lingtian and the rest were stunned when they heard what Su Qi said, Ling Yun had already made his move. The long sword on his back was unsheathed with a 'clang'.
A three-foot-long sword ray shot out and was aimed at Su Qi.
Although he was angry that the City Governor of Mound Hill City had underestimated him, Ling Yun subconsciously felt that the test the City Governor of Mound Hill City had set for him was not that simple.
Therefore, he decided to make the first move and gain the upper hand.
"What a fast sword!"
Duan Lingtian was shocked to find that Ling Yun and his sword had turned into a phantom that was difficult to capture in his right eye … In his left eye, Ling Yun's speed was extremely fast as well.
The reason why his left eye was different was that he had inherited the 'ability' of the One-eyed Devil Vulture's eye.
Of course, it could also be called a 'talent'.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun had already stabbed 13 times. Each of the attacks was real. They were all stabbed out by the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Sword in his hand, releasing a dazzling sword ray.
Wherever the sword ray went, it seemed like it was going to leave 13 bloody holes on Su Qi's body.
However, what surprised Duan Lingtian was that Ling Yun's attack was so fast.
From the beginning until the end, Su Qi's expression did not change in the face of Ling Yun's preemptive and thunderous attacks.
He only moved when Ling Yun was close to him with his sword.
Whoosh!
He bent his knees slightly, and in the next moment, he leaped into the air, narrowly dodging the thirteen solid sword gleams in Ling Yun's hand.
Ling Yun did not seem to be too surprised when he saw that the 13 sword rays were dodged. His eyes flashed as he leaned backward.
At the same time, Su Qi's palm landed like a thunderbolt. The palm print formed by his True Energy almost brushed past Ling Yun's face as he leaned backward.
The palm print was about to land on the side of the meeting hall and shatter one of the chairs.
The Heavenly Leader Guardian made his move. He did not use his True Energy, but the palm print exploded in the air and turned into nothingness. All that was left was a raging strong wind.
The wind caused the chairs on the side of the meeting hall to sway.
"One move."
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps the rest of the Thirteen Gangsters did not see what happened just now, but he saw everything clearly with his Strange Pupil that he quietly activated.
When Su Qi dodged Ling Yun's attack, he threw a palm print at Ling Yun in the air.
The palm print was so fast that it could not be performed by an ordinary Martial Cultivator at the Perfection of the Mortal Shedding Stage.
However, Ling Yun was not an ordinary Martial Cultivator at the Perfection of the Mortal Shedding Stage. He managed to dodge Su Qi's palm print.
"Great!"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City smiled.
'Su Qi hasn't used his Divine Weapon yet.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Perhaps it was because of Duan Lingtian's thoughts, Su Qi leaped up and landed with a narrow saber in his hand. It was a crescent-shaped narrow saber with a terrifying cold gleam shining on it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Seeing that Su Qi was about to land, Ling Yun did not give him the chance to do so. When Su Qi had nowhere to go, the three-foot-long sword in his hand bloomed and transformed into five sword rays that were even faster than before.
The speed of the five sword rays was even faster than the thirteen sword rays that he had thrown out earlier.
It was time to kill him while he was down!
Ling Yun was unforgiving at that moment.
"Great!"
However, Su Qi did not panic. Facing Ling Yun's five sword rays that were coming at him at lightning speed, he shouted in a deep voice. True Qi surged on the narrow saber in his hand before it left his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
After the narrow saber left his hand, it spun rapidly in the air like a fan under Su Qi's body.
Su Qi stood steadily on it as though he was standing on flat ground.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Five consecutive ear-piercing sounds resonated almost at the same time.
It was Su Qi who had blocked Ling Yun's five sword rays. To be exact, they were blocked by his saber that was spinning like a fan.
"What a brilliant defensive technique!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up. "Now, two moves have passed … As long as Ling Yun blocks one more move, he'll pass the test and become the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City."
"If I were Ling Yun, I'd either defend passively against Su Qi's next attack with all my might or take the initiative to attack like a storm to tire Su Qi out. “
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian had that thought in his mind, Ling Yun had already made his choice as fast as he could.
He chose the latter.
He stomped on the ground with both his legs, causing the ground to crack. Hideous cracks that looked like spider webs appeared on the ground.
Then, his entire body seemed to have transformed into a sword as he soared into the sky.
Clang!
An even louder and more ear-piercing sound resonated. Ling Yun's sword forcefully tore through Su Qi's defensive saber technique and headed straight for Su Qi. It was as though he was going to pierce through Su Qi from the bottom to the top.
Duan Lingtian realized.
Su Qi's expression had turned solemn at this moment.
He was no longer as casual as before.
He was serious now.
Bang!
He lifted his leg and stomped on the saber beneath his feet, using the momentum to shoot into the sky.
At this moment, the saber beneath his feet drew a perfect arc and returned to his hand steadily.
Whoosh!
