"Hmph! I really don't know where you get your confidence from. "
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the burly man frowned and snorted coldly.
After fifteen minutes, the burly man who had left earlier returned. "Duan Lingtian, Elder Dongfang is already waiting for you … Come with me."
"He agreed?"
The burly man who did not leave was a little surprised. He did not expect the person he had served for so many years would be willing to meet Duan Lingtian, a brat who was still wet behind the ears.
'Perhaps Elder Dongfang has taken a fancy to his innate talent.'
The burly man could only think of this.
From the moment Duan Lingtian entered the mansion of the outer court's Grand Elder, Dongfang Quan, until he left, only fifteen minutes had passed.
As for what had happened in Dongfang Quan's mansion during this fifteen minutes, only Duan Lingtian and Dongfang Quan knew.
After leaving Dongfang Quan's mansion, Duan Lingtian returned to his courtyard and room before entering the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate. One day outside was equivalent to three days inside.
Three days was enough for him to cultivate the techniques in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
In fact, in the past month, he had already broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage by the end of the second month of the three months he had spent in the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
In the following month, he had been cultivating the techniques in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
Among them, his improvement in the defensive technique, Silver Shirt, was the fastest.
Currently, his Silver Shirt was almost at the Impeccable Stage. The Impeccable Stage was the fifth stage of the Saint Grade Martial Tactic technique. It was also the highest stage.
The Silver Shirt itself was a defensive technique that focused on integrating True Energy into one's body.
The stronger the body, the easier it would be to integrate it.
Duan Lingtian's body had also transformed to an extremely terrifying stage after two transformations.
According to Huo Lao's words.
Let alone a Five-clawed Divine Dragon, even a Six-clawed Divine Dragon of the same level would not be able to compare to the current Duan Lingtian in terms of physical strength. The Duan Lingtian's physical strength was almost on par with a Seven-clawed Divine Dragon!
Naturally, there was no Six-clawed Divine Dragon in the Dao Martial Saint Land, let alone a Seven-clawed Divine Dragon.
Among the Dragons in the Dao Martial Saint Land, Five-clawed Divine Dragons were the ones with the highest bloodline. Six-clawed Divine Dragons did not seem to exist at all.
At the very least, according to the information Duan Lingtian obtained from Xue Nai, there was no Six-clawed Divine Dragon in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
"I keep having the feeling that … in these three days, I should be able to find an opportunity to cultivate the Silver Shirt to the point of perfection."
Duan Lingtian murmured as the silver light around his body surged.
While Duan Lingtian was cultivating in closed-door cultivation, another shocking piece of news shook the entire Moon Illumination Sect's outer court like a huge rock that was smashed onto a calm lake.
"Elder Dongfang has said that if Duan Lingtian dies in Feng Fan's hands three days later, he'll repay the Merit Points in Duan Lingtian's Crystal Card to the person who won the bet against him."
This news did not only shock the group of outer court disciples, but it also shocked the outer court deacons and elders.
"Since when did Elder Dongfang care about such a trivial matter?"
"This is unbelievable! Elder Dongfang actually announced publicly that he's willing to take care of Duan Lingtian's funeral after he's killed by Feng Fan. "
"That Duan Lingtian actually managed to get Elder Dongfang to do such a trivial matter for him … Don't tell me he's a disciple that Elder Dongfang secretly took in?"
"Impossible! If he's Elder Dongfang's disciple, Elder Dongfang would definitely not let him accept Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation to protect him. "
…
No matter what, Duan Ling Tian had used the truth to answer the doubts of the group of outer court disciples and the doubts of the outer court deacon, Deng Wei.
"How's this possible?!"
Deng Wei was dumbfounded when he heard this news.
It did not cross his mind that Duan Lingtian would actually be able to get Elder Dongfang to be his witness and guarantor for the bet.
However, a sneer soon appeared on his face. "So what if Elder Dongfang is your witness and guarantor for the bet? You'll still die in Feng Fan's hands in the end! "
In an independent courtyard in the outer court.
"Duan Lingtian, I hope you won't die in Feng Fan's hands three days later … Your life belongs to me, Ye Man!"
Ye Man muttered softly as he sat in front of the stone table and twirled the wine glass in his hand.
A cold gleam flashed in his eyes like a shooting star that appeared briefly in the night sky.
The next day, the training field in the outer court district was bustling with noise and excitement.
One by one, the outer court disciples lined up to place their bets with Duan Lingtian. They bet their Merit Points that Feng Fan would win the Death Duel two days later!
At that time, as long as Feng Fan won, they would be able to obtain a return of 30 to 1.
In just a few days, they would be able to obtain 31 to 1 after investing 30 Merit Points.
In their opinion, Duan Lingtian was basically giving them free Merit Points. It made them feel like they would be committing a crime if they did not accept it.
Naturally, it was not that they did not think about the consequences of Duan Lingtian winning.
However, they felt that it was impossible.
If it was just an ordinary sparring match, perhaps Feng Fan might cooperate with Duan Ling Tian and pretend to lose so that he could share the Merit Points with Duan Ling Tian. However, it was a Death Duel that was happening two days later.
A Death Duel would not end unless one party died.
Once a Death Duel took effect, nobody was allowed to interfere. Otherwise, they would be executed!
Even the inner court elders and the Vice Sect Leaders were no exception.
Rules were rules. Apart from the few most powerful Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect, including the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, nobody else was qualified to break the rules, let alone ignore them.
In just a day, the Merit Points in the Crystal Card in Duan Lingtian's hand had reached a shocking 1.6 million. Naturally, 100,000 of them belonged to him.
In other words, he had received more than 1.5 million Merit Points in just a day.
If he won the Death Duel two days later, all of these bets would belong to him.
'I can see that the outer court deacons and elders at the training field today are a little tempted by the bet I set up. Hmm, I'll continue tomorrow. '
After returning to the independent courtyard, Duan Lingtian thought to himself, 'Perhaps, every one of them thinks that the person who will die two days later will be me.'
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he looked at the Crystal Card in his hand and a bright smile appeared on his face. 'Fortunately, that's the case. Otherwise, how am I going to earn so many Merit Points?
"However, it seems like those outer court disciples are quite rich. They managed to gather more than 1.5 million Merit Points in just one day."
The next day, Duan Lingtian appeared at the training field again.
The bet continued.
Today, the outer court disciples who came to place their bets one after another were much lesser than yesterday.
Yesterday, as long as they were outer court disciples who did not cultivate in closed-door cultivation, apart from a few who subconsciously felt that it was risky and did not blindly follow the trend, most of the outer court disciples had more or less placed their bets.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I've already placed all of my Merit Points. Can I use Saint Stones?"
An outer court disciple who was not satisfied asked Duan Lingtian.
"I'm sorry, but I only accept Merit Points for bets."
Duan Lingtian smiled apologetically and then looked at a figure standing nearby. "However, you can look for Deacon Deng Wei. He seems to be accepting Saint Stones."
"Deacon Deng's odds are too low."
The outer court disciple shook his head and left.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that Deng Wei who was standing nearby had moved. He walked toward him and stopped in front of him.
"What? Are you still doubting me, Deacon Deng? "
Duan Lingtian asked nonchalantly.
"Hurmph! I'm here to place a bet. "
Deng Wei snorted.
"Place a bet?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Since you're so kind as to distribute your wealth to everyone, naturally, I won't hold back. I'll bet 120,000 Merit Points on Feng Fan winning the Death Duel tomorrow!"
Deng Wei said as he took out his Crystal Card.
"120,000 Merit Points?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly taken aback. He did not expect Deng Wei to be so rich.
However, he felt relieved as soon as he thought about it.
No matter what, Deng Wei was an outer court deacon of the Moon Illumination Sect just like his teacher, Fang Hui. Although he could not be compared to his teacher, an outer court deacon was still an outer court deacon.
It was normal for him to have 120,000 Merit Points.
"Deacon Deng, I think you should bet a little less … 120,000 Merit Points is not a small amount even to you."
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and advised him in a seemingly kind manner.
It was impossible for him not to be envious of so many Merit Points.
Although he seemed to be advising him out of goodwill, he had actually seen through Deng Wei's mind. He knew the more he advised, the more Deng Wei would not listen to him.
As it turned out, Duan Lingtian was right.
"What? Are you scared? Take out your Crystal Card. I'll bet 150,000 Merit Points! "
When Deng Wei heard Duan Lingtian's advice, he thought Duan Lingtian was feeling guilty. At once, he added another 30,000 Merit Points. 150,000 Merit Points were almost all the Merit Points he had.
After the 150,000 Merit Points were deducted, he was only left with a few thousand Merit Points.
However, he did not mind at all.
He believed that after tomorrow, his 150,000 Merit Points would be returned to his Crystal Card with interest.
With a 30 to 1 ratio of 150,000 Merit Points, he would have to pay 5,000 Merit Points.
Thinking that he could earn 5,000 merit points in just one day, Deng Wei's heart suddenly felt like it was floating. "The speed of earning merit points like this is much faster than my usual speed of earning merit points."
When Deng Wei saw the Merit Points were transferred to Duan Lingtian's Crystal Card, he glanced at Duan Lingtian coldly as he took the receipt. "Duan Lingtian, I'll inform my nephew of your death tomorrow."
"Your nephew?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Hurmph! Don't tell me you've forgotten how you passed the entrance assessment and became a Moon Illumination Sect's disciple? "
Deng Wei smirked.
"You're talking about … that Deng Yu? He's your nephew? "
Duan Lingtian finally understood.
