I'm not interested in knowing the name of a loser! '
Duan Lingtian had spoken before the middle-aged man did. Not only did it enrage the middle-aged man, but it also caused an uproar among the onlookers.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
This was the same thought that appeared in the minds of the group of people, including many Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples. All of them thought Duan Lingtian's words were too arrogant.
After all, the outcome of the battle had not been decided yet.
"Good, very good, very good …"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the rage that was on the verge of bursting out. He stared at Duan Ling Tian and said, "I'll let everyone present here witness how you're slapping your own face with your words!"
"If you're capable of that, you're welcome to slap my face."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly, looking natural and at ease.
This scene made the onlookers look at each other.
Could it be that Duan Lingtian really had the confidence to defeat the middle-aged man?
"You're seeking death!"
Duan Lingtian's words were like a fuse that completely ignited the middle-aged man's anger. At once, the middle-aged man roared and pounced toward Duan Lingtian like a madman.
His speed was so fast that it was as though he had transformed into a gust of wind.
"As expected of a famous powerhouse on the Earth Ranking. His speed has already surpassed most of the Early Saint Rudiment Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators."
The onlookers were all inner court disciples from the nine great sects. They could all see the speed the middle-aged man was displaying was very fast.
At the same time, they looked at Duan Lingtian.
However, the next scene made them completely dumbfounded.
"Is that all you've got?"
Duan Lingtian's voice resonated nonchalantly.
At the same time, he had already dodged the middle-aged man's attacks easily a few times. Not only that, but he also appeared next to the middle-aged man and spoke at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.
Based on his tone, it was obvious the speed he was displaying was not his full speed.
After all, if a person were to use their full strength, even if they could speak, it would be impossible for them to speak so naturally, as if they were just chatting.
Dong Hui, who had come out with Duan Lingtian and was watching the battle from the side, was also stunned by the speed displayed by Duan Lingtian.
"This speed … I'm afraid it's not inferior to an Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, right?"
Dong Hui inwardly sucked in a breath of cold air and muttered, "With the speed that Junior Apprentice Brother Duan displayed today, it's impossible for him to be just a Mortal Shedding Realm martial cultivator! It seemed that he had broken through to the Saint Realm! What a frightening growth rate … No wonder Senior Brother Baili would acknowledge him as his Junior Brother. "
Now, Dong Hui thought that Bai Li Hong had taken a liking to Duan Lingtian's martial talent, which was why he had acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his junior brother.
However, it did not cross his mind that the reason Bai Li Hong had acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his junior brother was not because of Duan Lingtian's martial talent, but because Duan Lingtian could inherit the Strange Inscription Art that was left behind by the teacher he had never met.
Dong Hui's thoughts were exactly what most of the onlookers were thinking.
"The speed that Duan Lingtian displayed right now completely overpowered him … Could it be that Duan Lingtian has already broken through to the Saint Rudiment Stage?"
"It's possible!"
"If that's the case, the rumor that Duan Lingtian entered the Earth Ranking with a cultivation base of the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage must be fake as well, right?"
"It must be fake!"
…
While the disciples of the Eight Major Sects were discussing among themselves, many of them cast their Spiritual Secret Techniques without restraint in an attempt to probe Duan Lingtian's cultivation base.
However, all of them returned empty-handed.
It was precisely because they returned empty-handed that they confirmed that Duan Lingtian was indeed a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator!
With their strength, they could probe the cultivation base of any Martial or Dao Cultivator below the Saint Rudiment Stage by casting their Spiritual Secret Techniques.
However, their Spiritual Energy Secret Techniques were unable to pry into the cultivations of Saint Realm masters like them, or even those above that.
"Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator? Junior Brother Duan is a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator? "
Liu Yue and Liu Hai were stunned when they heard that Duan Lingtian was a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. They looked at each other in disbelief.
The other Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples were stunned as well.
As Moon Illumination Sect's disciples, naturally, they were no stranger to Duan Lingtian.
Not only that, but they were certain that Duan Lingtian was only a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator when he first became famous.
This was because Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had been probed by a group of Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples using their Spiritual Secret Techniques. Those inner court disciples were certain that Duan Lingtian was a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator.
It might be possible for one or two probing mistakes.
However, there were so many people, it was impossible for there to be a mistake!
Due to this reason, their hearts were filled with shock and disbelief.
It had only been a few months, but Duan Lingtian had already broken through to the Saint Rudiment Stage from the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?
While the onlookers were still in shock, Duan Lingtian had also lost his interest in teasing the middle-aged man. With a lift of his hand, he swung his palm out. Vast True Energy swept out and pressed down on the middle-aged man's body, sending him flying.
The middle-aged man landed heavily on the ground with heavy injuries, but he did not pass out.
The way he looked at Duan Lingtian was no longer arrogant. Instead, there was only fear in his eyes. "Y-You've broken through to the Saint Rudiment Stage?"
In his opinion, even the person ranked first on the Earth Ranking would not be able to defeat him so easily.
There was only one possibility for the person in front of him to be able to defeat him so easily. The person in front of him had already broken through to the Saint Rudiment Stage.
When one was at the Mortal Shedding Stage, one could be ranked on the Earth Ranking. Once one had broken through to the Early Saint Rudiment Stage, one's strength could even be compared to an Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator.
Those who were ranked at the top of the Earth Ranking could even defeat an ordinary Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse after breaking through to the Early Saint Rudiment Stage.
"You're not that stupid after all."
Duan Lingtian glanced at the middle-aged man nonchalantly before turning around and leaving without looking back. Only the middle-aged man and the crowd could see his handsome back.
Saint Rudiment Stage!
Duan Lingtian from the Moon Illumination Sect was a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator!
At that moment, many people on the scene regained their senses one after another. Horror was written all over their faces.
At the same time, the news spread like a hurricane. In just one night, it had spread all over Han River City.
In Han River City, as long as one was not in closed-door cultivation or out, one would know about the news.
The people from the Ouyang Clan were no exception.
"He actually broke through to the Saint Rudiment Stage?"
Ouyang Ru was shocked. She still remembered that the True Energy that Duan Lingtian displayed when he saved her was not at the Saint Rudiment Stage.
Because of this, she was certain that Duan Lingtian was not a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator before this.
However, now …
Ouyang Ruo, who did not have the intention to take revenge on Duan Lingtian, felt even more helpless in her heart.
"Monster! Monster! Our Ouyang Clan must never be his enemy! "
After learning that Duan Lingtian had already broken through to the Saint Rudiment Stage, Ouyang Ba was also shocked. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he must never be Duan Lingtian's enemy.
No matter how much the news spread outside that he was already a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, Duan Lingtian was not affected at all. He stayed at the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold in the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters.
When he was free, he would chat with Dong Hui and discuss the Martial Dao and the Saint Inscription Dao.
Originally, Dong Hui had planned to bring Duan Lingtian out for a walk in the next few days. However, after witnessing Duan Lingtian's attainment in the Saint Inscription Dao, he dismissed the idea.
He realized that when Duan Lingtian discussed the Saint Inscription Dao with him, every time he said something strange, it would give him a lot of inspiration.
In the end, he also realized that the reason Bai Li Hong took Duan Lingtian as his Junior Brother was not only because of Duan Lingtian's innate talent in the Martial Dao, but it was also because of Duan Lingtian's extraordinary talent in the Saint Inscription Dao.
"Junior Brother Duan, this doesn't seem to be an orthodox Saint Inscription Dao, right?"
Dong Hui could not help but frown when he heard Duan Lingtian's answer when they were discussing another question.
"Senior Brother Hui, I heard from Senior Brother Bai Li that you've also come into contact with the Strange Inscription Dao before … Why? Didn't you notice the shadow of the Strange Inscription Dao that I mentioned earlier? "
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Strange … Strange Inscription Dao?!"
However, when Dong Hui heard Duan Lingtian's words, he turned pale with fright. Subsequently, he looked at Duan Lingtian as though he had seen a ghost. "Junior Brother Duan, d-don't tell me you've mastered the Strange Inscription Dao?"
"I can't say that I've mastered it. I've just learned the basics."
Duan Lingtian replied humbly.
However, even if he was being humble, it still shocked Dong Hui so much that he fell silent for a long time.
After a long while, Dong Hui sighed. "It seems like Senior Brother Bai Li has finally found the person he's been waiting for … To think that I thought Senior Brother Bai Li only acknowledged you as his junior brother because of your Martial Dao innate talent.
Now, it seems like I was wrong from the beginning. "
At this moment, Dong Hui was completely certain.
Bai Li Hong acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his junior brother not because of Duan Lingtian's Martial Dao innate talent, but because Duan Lingtian could inherit the Strange Inscription Dao.
Bai Li Hong had shared the Strange Inscription Dao with him before. However, just like Bai Li Hong, he could not cultivate it because of his Spiritual Energy.
When Duan Lingtian heard Dong Hui's words, he only smiled faintly and did not say anything.
"Senior Brother Hui, the materials that I need should be here in two days, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Bai Li Hong and changed the topic.
A large part of the reason he wanted to stay in Han River City for a few more days was because there was still a pile of materials that he needed on the way to Han River City.
Those were the materials that Bai Li Hong had ordered people to gather.
Those materials were also the materials that Duan Lingtian needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"They'll definitely be here in two days at most."
Dong Hui nodded. He did not dare to neglect Duan Lingtian's matter.
Two days later, all the materials had arrived.
'According to Huo Lao, with the materials that I've gathered in Han River City, the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda should be able to be repaired by 10% … With so many materials, it's only 10%. It seems like repairing the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is much more difficult than repairing the third level.'
