The three of them were shocked when they heard the City Governor of Mound Hill City's words.
He wanted to cultivate all three moves of the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic to the Impeccable Stage?
The Impeccable Stage was the fifth stage of the Saint Grade Martial Tactic. It was also the highest stage.
Su Qi wanted to cultivate all three moves to the highest stage at the same time?
The three of them did not even need to think to know that the three moves were an offensive move, a movement move, and a defensive move. However, they did not expect Su Qi to be so ambitious.
Duan Lingtian was the only one who was not surprised.
Of course, this was also because he had cultivated the Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
Moreover, the Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic that he had cultivated was not an ordinary Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
This was because there was a defensive move in the Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic that he cultivated that was comparable to the defensive move in the Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
The Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic could only be cultivated by Saint Stage powerhouses.
Due to this reason, as long as Duan Ling Tian successfully cultivated that defensive technique, before he broke through to the Saint Stage, even if he only mobilized his True Energy and did not use his brute strength, no Martial or Dao Cultivator at the same level would be able to break through his defense.
One could imagine how powerful a move that was comparable to an Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic was.
Any of the moves in the Colossal Aerolite Arrow would be comparable to a Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic move that had been cultivated to the fifth stage, the Impeccable Refinement Stage, if one cultivated it to the third stage, the Competent Stage.
This was the difference between a Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic and a Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
Therefore, Duan Lingtian was not surprised at all when he heard Su Qi wanted to cultivate all three moves of the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic to the fifth stage, the Impeccable Stage.
"I can't believe the entrance assessment of the Moon Illumination Sect will be held in half a year."
Duan Lingtian had long heard about the Moon Illumination Sect from Guo Li and the relationship between the Moon Illumination Sect and the eighteen cities including Mound Hill City. For this reason, he was only surprised that the Moon Illumination Sect would hold the entrance examination in half a year's time.
"Duan Lingtian, your innate talent isn't inferior to Su Qi's … Work hard. I believe you'll definitely achieve great things in the Moon Illumination Sect in the future."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City communicated with Duan Lingtian through True Energy Voice Transmission. Based on his words, he was confident in Duan Lingtian.
"Teacher, I will do my best."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
When he addressed the City Governor of Mound Hill City as his teacher, he was much more sincere than before.
"Yes."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City nodded with a smile. He had high hopes for Duan Lingtian and was not worried about him.
"Teacher, I want to leave the City Lord's Mansion for a while."
In the evening, Duan Lingtian said to the City Governor of Mound Hill City when he was about to return to his room to rest.
The City Governor of Mound Hill City agreed and did not ask any further questions.
Duan Lingtian left the mansion and walked out of the City Governor's Mansion under the glow of the setting sun. He was holding a small jade token in his hand. It was given to him by the City Governor of Mound Hill City earlier.
After Duan Lingtian left the mansion, the City Governor of Mound Hill City called out to the three of them.
"The three of you mustn't spread the news about the strength that Duan Lingtian displayed today … Do you understand?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City said sternly to the three of them.
As the saying went, 'The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.' Now that there was still half a year before the entrance assessment of the Moon Illumination Sect would be held, he did not dare to be careless.
Naturally, he was not worried that someone from Mound Hill City would look for trouble with Duan Lingtian.
What a joke!
He was the City Governor of Mound Hill City. If something happened to his disciple in Mound Hill City, he would find a piece of tofu to kill himself with.
What he was worried about was the other 17 cities finding out that apart from Su Qi, he had another genius like Duan Lingtian.
The competition between the 18 cities that the Moon Illumination Sect controlled was intense. If the other 17 cities found out about Duan Lingtian's existence, they might do something secretly.
It was easy to dodge a spear in the open but difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark.
He had to be careful.
"Yes."
Although they did not know about the concerns of the City Governor of Mound Hill City, the three of them obeyed the words of the City Governor of Mound Hill City. They agreed without any hesitation.
"Go back and rest."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City nodded in satisfaction.
After the three of them returned to their respective rooms, the City Governor of Mound Hill City smirked. "I can't believe that after Su Qi, I'll meet a peerless genius like Duan Lingtian again."
A peerless genius!
That was his evaluation of Duan Lingtian in his heart.
In fact, even Su Qi did not make him give such an evaluation.
It was obvious that in his opinion, Duan Lingtian's innate talent was above Su Qi's … At least, that was the case for now.
At the entrance of the City Governor's Estate, after Duan Lingtian showed the jade token in his hand, the few guards at the entrance bowed at him respectfully.
They only straightened their backs when he walked out of the City Governor's Estate's entrance.
The jade token was given to Duan Lingtian by the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"Mound Hill Order … He's Master City Governor's favorite disciple, Su Qi?"
One of the guards muttered to himself as he watched Duan Lingtian's departing silhouette.
Seeing the Mound Hill Order was equivalent to seeing the City Governor.
There were only two Mound Hill Orders in the entire City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City … It was said that one of them was in the City Governor's hands while the other one was given to his favorite disciple, Su Qi.
"I've seen Su Qi in person. He's not Su Qi."
Another guard shook his head.
"He's Duan Lingtian, one of the four new disciples that Master City Governor has taken in! However, although he's not weak, he should be weaker than Ling Yun, the leader of the Thirteen Gangsters in the Latent Dragon Camp. Why would Master City Governor give such a precious Mound Hill Order to him instead of Ling Yun? I can't figure it out. "
One of the guards recognized Duan Ling Tian. His brows were tightly knitted together as he kept shaking his head.
"It's said that he's from the Mortal Continent … Young Master Su Qi seems to be from the Mortal Continent as well. Perhaps Master City Governor takes special care of genius Martial Cultivators from the Mortal Continent. "
One of the guards speculated.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian did not know that the jade token in his hand had caused such a huge commotion.
Although he had received the jade token from the City Governor of Mound Hill City, he did not know what it meant.
This was because the City Governor of Mound Hill City had only told him that he could enter and leave the City Governor's Estate anytime he wanted with the jade token.
The City Governor did not say anything else.
After leaving the City Governor's Estate, Duan Lingtian immediately went to the house of Hong Yu, the captain of the City Guards, and saw the little girl, Shi Shi.
"Brother, brother …"
When the little girl saw Duan Lingtian, she immediately pounced on him excitedly. Her little face was flushed, and she looked very cute.
"Shi Shi, did you miss me?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at the little girl dotingly.
"Yes."
The little girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Shi Shi missed you a lot. I even dreamed of you yesterday."
"Really?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile, "What did you dream of me doing?"
"I dreamed of you flying in the sky with Shi Shi … We flew so high, even higher than when Brother Hong Yu took me."
The little girl raised her hand and gestured as she spoke.
"Brother Hong Yu took you flying?"
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, "Shi Shi, you weren't naughty, were you?"
"No, Shi Shi is very obedient … You can ask sister-in-law if you don't believe me."
As the little girl spoke, she looked at the beautiful woman next to her. She was Hong Yu's wife.
"Yes, Shi Shi is very obedient."
Hong Yu's disciple looked at the little girl dotingly and played along with her words.
"Sister-in-law, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Shi Shi during this time."
Duan Lingtian looked at Hong Yu's wife and smiled. Then, he took out a Spatial Ring and passed it to Hong Yu's wife. "Sister-in-law."
"This is …"
However, Hong Yu's wife did not take it.
"There are 1,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones in here. You and Brother Hong can use them."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile.
1,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones!
Hong Yu's wife was shocked when she heard Duan Lingtian's words.
Even though Hong Yu was the captain of the City Guards, his monthly salary was only a few dozen eighth-grade Saint Stones. He would have to save up 1,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones for two years.
"Brother Ling Tian, take it back! Take it back!"
Hong Yu's wife rejected Duan Lingtian's offer when she regained her senses.
"Sister-in-law, just take it."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"Brother Ling Tian, since you're brothers with my husband, you're not an outsider. There's no need to be so formal … If I accept your Origin Stones, my husband will be unhappy."
Hong Yu's wife continued to reject Duan Lingtian's offer. She would rather die than accept his Saint Stones.
"If you really want to give it to him, just give it to him yourself."
Hong Yu's wife could only say this when she saw Duan Lingtian was still insisting.
Duan Lingtian smiled wryly.
He knew this was the only way out.
After asking the little girl, Shi Shi, to play with Hong Yu's son, Duan Lingtian looked at Hong Yu's wife and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, has Brother Hong found anything about Shi Shi's background?"
"No." Hong Yu's wife shook her head.
"He investigated according to what you said. In the end, he confirmed that the person who abducted Shi Shi was an outsider. He only stayed in Mound Hill City for a day and never appeared again."
Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh when he heard this.
Although he knew it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find out the little girl's background, he could not help but feel disappointed when he found out that there was really no other way.
In an inconspicuous inn in Mound Hill City.
On the second floor of the inn, there were three people gathered in a guest room in the corner. A young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man.
At this moment, the middle-aged man and the old man sat at the table and stared at the young man standing before them.
"Uncle Qiang, Elder Lin, that Duan Lingtian has left the City Governor's Estate."
The young man's eyes gleamed with killing intent as he told the two people before him excitedly.
If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this young man was none other than Zheng Jian whom he had defeated and had fallen into the manure pit.
He was the person who ranked fifth among the Latent Dragon Camp's Thirteen Gangsters.
