"It seems like this teacher is quite concerned about me."
"He reminded me because he doesn't want too many people to know about my breakthrough … After all, it hasn't been long since I broke through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage."
"If the news of me breaking through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage spreads, it'll inevitably attract unnecessary trouble … After all, the speed of my breakthrough is too ridiculous."
Duan Lingtian could understand the good intentions of the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
At that moment, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
Previously, he had addressed the City Governor of Mound Hill City as his teacher out of courtesy, but now, he really regarded the City Governor of Mound Hill City as his teacher.
Ever since Duan Lingtian came to this world, the City Governor of Mound Hill City was the second person he truly respected as his teacher.
The first person was Sima Chang Feng from Cloud Continent.
Sima Chang Feng was the Dean of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Paladin Academy. Before Duan Lingtian left the Overseas Saint Islands, he was brought to the Ling Tian Sect by Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian had always respected Sima Chang Feng as his teacher. This did not change even though his current ability was millions of times more powerful than Sima Chang Feng.
It was not because Sima Chang Feng had taught him anything.
On the contrary, Sima Chang Feng had almost never taught him anything.
The reason he respected Sima Chang Feng was because Sima Chang Feng had helped him many times back then … He would never forget that kindness for the rest of his life.
At that moment, although the City Governor of Mound Hill City's position in Duan Lingtian's heart could not be compared to Sima Chang Feng's, it was still extremely important.
"Duan Lingtian, you're a worthy opponent," Ling Yun stared at Duan Lingtian as he stared at Duan Lingtian.
Ling Yun stared at Duan Ling Tian and said solemnly, "If it's an ordinary Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator, I won't even bother to use my sword. Even most Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivators aren't qualified for me to use my sword."
However, I have no choice but to use my sword to fight you … However, I'll let you make the first move as a favor to an Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator like you. "
When Ling Yun said this, he couldn't help but blush.
With his cultivation base at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, it would be unfair for him to fight a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage even if he did not make the first move.
Therefore, even he felt a little embarrassed.
But he had no choice.
If it was an ordinary Martial Cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Mortal Shedding Stage, he wouldn't even put them in his eyes.
However, this Duan Lingtian in front of him had defeated Xiong Hu, who was ranked second among the Thirteen Gangsters. His strength was so strong that he deserved to be cautious.
"Are you sure you want me to attack first?"
Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Ling Yun calmly.
"Yes."
Ling Yun nodded.
What a joke!
It was already unfair for him to fight a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage with his Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage cultivation base. If he were to make the first move, where would he put his face?
"You will regret this."
Duan Ling Tian said as he looked deeply at Ling Yun.
"I, Ling Yun, have never regretted anything."
Ling Yun said with a gleam in his eyes.
Duan Ling Tian smiled brilliantly, causing Ling Yun's hair to stand on end.
Then, under the gaze of the four people, including Ling Yun, a layer of silver light appeared on Duan Lingtian's body. It was glowing as if he was wearing a layer of silver armor.
"Silver Shirt!"
Seeing the faint silver light on the surface of Duan Lingtian's body, the City Governor of Mound Hill City's eyes lit up. He recognized the defensive technique that Duan Lingtian was using.
No matter what, the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic, Silver Shirt, was a Saint Grade Martial Tactic that was kept in the Merit Pavilion of the City Governor's Mansion. As the City Governor of Mound Hill City, he naturally knew about it.
After performing Silver Shirt, Duan Lingtian raised his left hand and the Sun Shooting Bow appeared.
Then, True Energy spurted out of his right hand and formed an arrow. He placed it on the Sun Shooting Bow … As the bowstring made of the Five-clawed Devil Dragon's dragon tendon was pulled back a little, Duan Lingtian immediately let go.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a solidified arrow ray shot out like a meteor sweeping across the sky.
Then, Duan Lingtian shot out and stood firmly on the arrow ray. He stepped on the arrow ray and shot out. Wherever he passed, the air was sucked dry and the sound of air exploding was heard.
Body and Arrow Synchronization!
Duan Lingtian's speed was so fast that Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao could not catch a glimpse of it at all.
"So fast!"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City narrowed his eyes as shock filled his face.
Although he knew Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage and his ability was on par with a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator.
However, he did not expect Duan Lingtian's arrow to be so fast.
"Even an arrow shot by a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage might not be that fast, right?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City's heart skipped a beat.
"So fast!"
As the person involved, Ling Yun regretted it the moment Duan Lingtian shot the arrow.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Just when he was about to dodge to the side and reach for the hilt of the long sword that was sheathed on his back, he noticed the silhouette that was originally far away had appeared in front of him in just a blink of an eye.
Bang!
Ling Yun did not even have time to react before he was sent flying by Duan Lingtian's punch. He followed in Xiong Hu's footsteps.
However, unlike Xiong Hu who fell to the ground in a wretched manner, Ling Yun stood firmly on his feet. His body swayed, his face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Duan Lingtian again as though he had just seen a ghost.
Although he knew Duan Lingtian's ability might be on par with an ordinary Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator, he did not expect Duan Lingtian's ability to be so powerful!
He did not even have the chance to dodge or draw his sword when he made the first move.
"I-Is he really a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage?"
At this moment, Ling Yun was deeply skeptical.
However, when he recalled Duan Lingtian had only broken through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage three months ago and it was the two Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses who detected his cultivation base using the Spiritual Secret Tactic, he dismissed his doubts.
'It's impossible for Duan Lingtian to have a breakthrough in three months.'
Ling Yun was very sure of this.
What a joke!
To break through from the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage in three months … Even the top genius in the Dao Martial Saint Land would not be able to do that.
Even if he had the best cultivation resources and environment, it was impossible for him to break through in such a short time.
"Good, good!"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City stared at Duan Lingtian with bright eyes. His cheeks were trembling from excitement.
Although he had guessed Duan Lingtian might be able to defeat Ling Yun when he discovered Duan Lingtian had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage, he did not expect Duan Lingtian to defeat Ling Yun in just one move.
Duan Lingtian's current strength had already surpassed Su Qi's strength in the past.
Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao, on the other hand, were dumbfounded. They stood there in a daze, unable to regain their senses for a long time.
Although they knew Duan Lingtian was powerful, they did not expect him to be so powerful. He had made the first move and defeated Ling Yun before Ling Yun could even react.
"He defeated Senior Brother Ling Yun in just one move … Doesn't that mean Duan Lingtian is even more powerful than Senior Brother Su Qi?"
Jin Yuan Bao sucked in a breath of cold air and murmured.
"That's right. Even Senior Brother Su Qi needed three moves before he could defeat Senior Brother Ling Yun. "
Xiong Hu nodded.
Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao were completely convinced of Su Qi's strength.
"As expected … My strength has already surpassed someone at the peak of the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage when I unleash my full strength with the Silver Shirt and my physical strength."
Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian made the first move, he had used almost all his strength to defeat Ling Yun in just a blink of an eye.
"With my current strength, I might be able to fight a Martial or Dao Cultivator who has just broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage! Of course, it'll be difficult to win. "
Duan Lingtian knew this very well.
The Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage was far from what the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage could compare to.
"If it was Su Qi in the past, he would indeed not be a match for Duan Lingtian … However, Su Qi has already broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage half a month ago."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City smiled when he heard Jin Yuan Bao and Xiong Hu's mumbling.
Ling Yun, Xiong Hu, and Jin Yuan Bao were stunned by what the City Governor of Mound Hill City said. "Senior Brother Su Qi … has broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage?"
"He's not even forty years old and he's already at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage … Oh my god! What kind of innate talent is that? "
"With such innate talent, he'll be a genius even if he enters the Moon Illumination Sect. He'll be valued by the Moon Illumination Sect's senior officials and they'll train him."
…
There was envy in Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao's eyes as they whispered to each other.
"Su Qi has broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised as well.
Like him, Su Qi was a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent.
As a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent, even though he had just broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage, Su Qi's strength was not something an ordinary Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage native from the Dao Martial Saint Land could compare to.
Duan Lingtian asked himself if he had any confidence in defeating Su Qi who had just broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Speaking of the Moon Illumination Sect … The Moon Illumination Sect will open its doors to recruit disciples in six months. At that time, the eighteen cities, including our Mound Hill City, will bring their most outstanding disciples there. "
The City Governor of Mound Hill City said, "Among the four of you, Duan Lingtian and Ling Yun will definitely pass the Moon Illumination Sect's test and enter the sect … Xiong Hu, Jin Yuan Bao, it's not impossible for both of you to improve in the next six months."
The Moon Illumination Sect was a powerful sect that ruled the eighteen cities, including Mound Hill City. It was a seventh-rated force that controlled a seventh-grade Saint Stone reserve.
Even the City Governor of Mound Hill City was a disciple of the Moon Illumination Sect.
"In order to amaze the Moon Illumination Sect's entrance assessment in six months, Su Qi has been in closed-door cultivation recently. He's preparing to cultivate the three Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic techniques to the Impeccable Stage."
