"You don't have to teach him a lesson."
Zhou Qi shook his head.
"I don't have to teach him a lesson?"
Lin Fu was confused. He could not figure out what Zhou Qi was trying to do.
"My purpose is to let you test his strength … I'll find someone to deal with him later," Zhou Qi said indifferently.
Lin Fu nodded.
"I understand now."
Lin Fu nodded. "That's simple."
It was indeed simple.
To him, it was just another duel invitation.
Even if he was no match for Duan Lingtian in the end, he would at most be taught a lesson.
With the sect's rules, he did not believe that Duan Lingtian would dare to cripple him, let alone kill him … If there was no duel invitation, he would have to pay with his life for killing someone!
"I'll wait for your good news tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhou Qi left the outer court and returned to the inner court under the cover of the night.
The next morning, Lin Fu went to look for outer court elder Dong Chong. "Elder Dong Chong, I'd like to write a duel invitation, and I'd like you to put your fingerprint on it."
As Lin Fu spoke, he took out the duel invitation he had prepared.
"Lin Fu, who do you want to challenge this time?"
Dong Chong took the duel invitation and asked with a smile before he even had the time to read it.
Lin Fu was ranked 47th in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court, and he had fought his way up … When he saw that Lin Fu wanted to write a duel invitation, he thought that Lin Fu wanted to challenge the outer court disciple who was ranked higher than him.
"Elder Dong Chong, the person I want to challenge this time is a little special."
Lin Fu smiled faintly.
"Huh?"
Out of curiosity, Dong Chong looked at the duel invitation in his hand. When he saw the three words' Duan Lingtian 'on it, he could not help but be stunned. "Y-You want to challenge that new disciple?"
"Yes."
Lin Fu nodded.
"Lin Fu, you better think this through … Currently, this Duan Lingtian is only ranked 85th in the outer court. If you challenge him, it'll be fine if you win, but if you lose, you'll drop a rank! And he'll be promoted to 47th because of you! "
Dong Chong said with a complicated gaze.
Duan Lingtian was the young genius he had his eyes on during the entrance assessment yesterday.
Unfortunately, Duan Lingtian was unwilling to acknowledge him as his master.
When the entrance exam ended and he returned to the outer court, he could not help but be dumbstruck when he heard about the strength Duan Lingtian had displayed when he defeated Ceng Zhi.
At that moment, the resentment in his heart due to Duan Lingtian's rejection also disappeared without a trace.
He knew that with Duan Lingtian's talent and strength, he was not qualified to be Duan Lingtian's teacher.
Even if he forcefully accepted Duan Lingtian as his disciple, he would only mislead him.
"I've thought about it."
Lin Fu nodded and replied casually.
He issued a challenge to Duan Lingtian not because he wanted to defeat the Duan Lingtian, but because he wanted to find out more about the Duan Lingtian so that his Senior Brother Zhou Qi could think of a way to deal with the Duan Lingtian.
Even if he lost, he would only be pushed back by one place. It was not a big deal.
Moreover, if Duan Lingtian's strength was above his, even without his challenge, the Duan Lingtian would still be able to surpass him. At that time, he would still be pushed back by one place.
"What do you think of Duan Lingtian?"
Dong Chong asked as he pressed his fingerprint on the challenge letter in his hand.
The challenge letter was made of a special paper.
One only needed to wrap one's True Energy around one's finger and press it, and a fingerprint would appear on it.
"I suspect that Duan Lingtian has broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage after the first stage of the entrance assessment," Lin Fu said.
"It's unrealistic for a Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage to defeat someone who's close to the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage."
"I have the same thought as well. I can take this opportunity to find out the truth since you've issued a challenge to him. "
Dong Chong nodded and returned the challenge letter to Lin Fu.
"Thank you, Elder Dong Chong."
After receiving the challenge letter, Lin Fu went to the independent courtyard where Duan Lingtian lived without hesitation.
The independent courtyard originally belonged to Ceng Zhi, so Lin Fu was very familiar with the place.
Standing outside the courtyard, Lin Fu lifted his hand and threw the challenge letter out.
He used his hidden force so that the challenge letter would fit perfectly on the gap of the door that was tightly shut.
After glancing at the challenge letter, Lin Fu imprinted the scene before him into his eyes and memorized it in his mind before he left.
As long as Duan Lingtian opened his door, the challenge letter would fall.
At that time, even if he wanted to return the challenge letter to its original state, it would not be able to return to the way Lin Fu memorized it in his mind. At that time, even if Duan Lingtian wanted to shut himself in, Lin Fu would still be able to barge in.
At that time, it would not be against the sect's rules to barge in.
"Challenge letter?"
When Duan Lingtian opened his door and walked out to pick up the challenge letter from the ground, it was already a month later.
Naturally, he had spent three months on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Lin Fu?"
After opening the challenge letter, Duan Lingtian saw the name of the person who wrote the challenge letter.
After casually putting away the challenge letter, Duan Lingtian walked out of the courtyard.
"So, I just wanted to come out to relax and see where Ling Yun and Xiong Hu are staying … I didn't expect that there would be someone waiting for me to come out."
Looking at the challenge letter in his hand, Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
"Senior Brother, do you know Lin Fu?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile as he stopped an outer court disciple who was walking by not far away.
"I do."
The outer court disciple nodded and asked with a smile, "You're a new disciple who just entered the sect a month ago, right?"
This outer court disciple just happened to be cultivating in seclusion a month ago.
Therefore, although he had heard of Duan Lingtian's name, he had never seen Duan Lingtian before. Therefore, he did not recognize Duan Lingtian immediately.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He could guess why the outer court disciple asked such a question.
He knew very well that from the moment he defeated Ceng Zhi, he must have become famous in the outer court district … All the outer court disciples knew that he was staying in the independent courtyard where Ceng Zhi used to live.
The person who dared to issue a challenge letter to him would definitely not be weaker than Ceng Zhi.
Such a person must be well-known in the outer court.
Only the new disciples who had just entered the Moon Illumination Sect like him a month ago would not know.
"Junior Brother, when you mention Senior Brother Lin Fu in the future, you can't directly call him by his name … Senior Brother Lin Fu is an existence that's ranked 47th in our outer court."
The outer court disciple who was stopped by Duan Lingtian said with a fearful expression.
"47th in the outer court?"
Duan Lingtian came to a realization. Just as he thought, the person who issued the challenge letter was not an ordinary outer court disciple.
'Ceng Zhi is ranked 85th, and he's close to the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage … Lin Fu who issued the challenge letter must be at the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage without a doubt.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
'Great! Although I'm still a step away from breaking through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, my body has undergone tremendous changes due to the integration of the Five-clawed Devil Dragon's blood essence … Since Lin Fu is here, it's a good opportunity for me to practice!'
Duan Lingtian's battle intent rose in his heart.
Although his cultivation base had not broken through yet, his body had undergone a transformation, and his physical strength had improved a lot.
Now, he was confident he could defeat Ceng Zhi even without using the Strange Pupil's ability.
If it was someone like Ceng Zhi, he would not be interested at all.
However, Lin Fu was suspected to be at the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage!
"Senior Brother, have you heard of Duan Lingtian?"
Duan Lingtian asked the outer court disciple in front of him suddenly as a thought flashed in his mind.
"How could I not?"
The outer court disciple said matter-of-factly, "He's the most monstrous existence among the new batch of outer court disciples. He even broke the sect's long-standing record and became the first person to stay in the independent courtyard area as soon as he entered the sect."
"Now, let alone the outer court district, I'm afraid many people in the inner court district have heard of his name."
The outer court disciple finished his sentence in one breath.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He wasn't surprised by this. The reason why he asked was just to confirm it.
'With my current reputation in the outer court, Lin Fu must be at the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage since he dares to challenge me! It seems like I'll have a chance to loosen my muscles again after three months. '
The moment he thought of this, Duan Lingtian looked at the outer court disciple and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother, do you know which independent courtyard Lin Fu is staying in?"
"It's Duan Lingtian, Senior Brother!"
"It's really him!"
Before the outer court disciple could speak, the other two outer court disciples who were passing by exclaimed in surprise. Their eyes were filled with respect when they looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian?"
The outer court disciple who was stopped by Duan Lingtian earlier could not help but be dumbfounded when he heard the two outer court disciples' words.
The purple-clad young man standing in front of him was Duan Lingtian?
"Senior Brother, I didn't mean to hide it … It's just that I saw Lin Fu's challenge letter as soon as I came out, so I was prepared to accept the challenge."
Duan Lingtian smiled apologetically and waved the challenge letter in his hand.
"Senior Brother Lin Fu, he … He issued a challenge letter to you?"
When the outer court disciple standing in front of Duan Lingtian heard this, his eyes could not help but narrow, and his face was filled with shock.
After a long while, he finally regained his senses and smiled awkwardly. "Senior Brother Duan, I didn't know your identity earlier. I'm so rude … In the martial artist's world, the one who has reached the top comes first. You can just call me Junior Brother in the future."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and sighed inwardly. "Another person like Yang He."
"Senior Brother Lin Fu is challenging Senior Brother Duan Lingtian?"
As for the two Outer Sect disciples who were passing by, they immediately spread the news.
In just 15 minutes, almost all the outer court disciples who were not cultivating in closed-door cultivation in the entire outer court knew about this shocking news.
Naturally, they were no strangers to Lin Fu.
He was ranked 47th in the outer court. His strength was so powerful that he had even reached the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage.
They were also no strangers to Duan Lingtian.
He was someone who had defeated and replaced the person who was ranked 85th in the outer court when he had just entered the sect.
Now, Lin Fu had issued a challenge letter to Duan Lingtian.
"Haha! If I went into closed-door cultivation earlier, I would've missed this battle … Let's go and join in the fun! "
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is too powerful! He accepted the challenge directly! He's a real man! "
"I hope Senior Brother Lin Fu didn't go into closed-door cultivation. If that's the case, we'll be able to see this fierce battle today."
