Short-lived ghost?
Duan Lingtian's gaze became even more icy cold ….
Although he didn't have any feelings towards that deadbeat father of his, he was his father after all, and also the husband of his most respected mother. How could he allow this Duan Lingxing to blaspheme!?
Duan Rong was stunned.
Duan Rufeng?
He'd heard of this name before ….
Duan Rufeng, the former peerless genius of the Imperial City's Duan Clan, a figure that rose like a comet. Ever since he went missing 18 years ago, there had been no news of him.
Even so, there were still many people who deeply remembered him.
If Duan Rufeng hadn't gone missing, then he would be the Third Master of the Duan Clan.
No, if Duan Rufeng hadn't gone missing, then so long as he was willing, the position of Patriarch of this generation of the Duan Clan would be his!
Duan Rong never imagined this.
This violet-clothed young man that he hated to the bone was actually the son of Duan Rufeng ….
At the same time that Duan Rong was stunned, the gazes of everyone present descended onto Duan Lingtian.
Especially Xiao Xun, whose pupils couldn't help but constrict.
Duan Lingtian was actually really a member of the Duan Clan. Moreover, he was the son of Duan Rufeng, the publicly acknowledged peerless genius of the Crimson Sky Kingdom ….
Xiao Yu and Tian Hu had more or less heard of Duan Rufeng.
They never imagined that Duan Lingtian actually had such an identity!
And he was even a direct descendant of the Imperial City's Duan Clan!
"Duan Rufeng?"
Su Li's eyes shone with a strand of a surprised flowing light as he deeply glanced at Duan Lingtian.
"This youth is actually the son of Duan Rufeng!"
"I never imagined that Duan Rufeng still had a descendant alive …. This youth was obviously not recommended by the Duan Clan. To be able to pass the entrance exam of the 18 counties at such an age and enter our Paladin Academy, his natural talent is truly monstrous!"
Some of the Paladin Academy students whispered to each other.
"Duan Lingxing, the reason I came to the Imperial City and entered Paladin Academy was to kill you and return the 'gift' you gave me two years ago … Now, I officially challenge you to a battle of life and death. Do you dare accept?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly sat up from his seat. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and his voice was extremely cold, as if it came from an ice cave.
He couldn't wait to kill Duan Lingxing.
However, he also understood that with his current situation, he couldn't be impulsive. He had to kill Duan Lingxing in an open and aboveboard manner so that the Duan Clan's Second Master, Duan Ru Lei, could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
Duan Ling Tian's words stunned the people present on the scene.
"Is this Duan Lingtian an idiot?"
"Duan Lingxing is a grade 4 student. Supposedly, he's already stepped into the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage …. Even if this Duan Lingtian's natural talent isn't bad, he's only around 18 after all. Moreover, he's only a grade 1 student!"
Many of the Paladin Academy students were shocked by Duan Lingtian's words.
"Duan Lingtian, don't be rash!"
Xiao Xun's face went grim as he hurriedly dissuaded Duan Lingtian.
Although he knew that Duan Lingtian was strong and believed that Duan Lingtian would be able to surpass Duan Lingxing in the future ….
But now, Duan Lingtian was undoubtedly still slightly inferior to Duan Lingxing!
He'd witnessed Duan Lingtian's strength before. Although it wasn't bad, it was only slightly stronger than Su Li and could be said to be invincible amongst the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage. But if he were to encounter an eighth level Core Formation Stage martial artist, it would be strenuous, not to mention that this Duan Lingxing was an existence at the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage!
Xiao Yu and Tian Hu also found out about Duan Lingxing's cultivation from the surrounding discussions, and their faces went grim as they tried to dissuade him.
Only Su Li looked at Duan Lingtian, whose eyes flickered with a cold light and the corners of his mouth curled into an arc. He seemed to be lost in thought and didn't try to dissuade him ….
"You …. Challenge me? Or a battle of life and death? "
Duan Lingxing felt it was slightly inconceivable when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
The moment he laid eyes on Duan Lingtian, he wished for nothing more than to kill Duan Lingtian. But unfortunately, this was Paladin Academy, and the consequences of killing someone for no reason was something that even he, the son of the Duan Clan's second master, couldn't bear!
But if a battle of life and death was set up, then it would be a different story.
If a battle of life and death was set up, then even if he killed his opponent, Paladin Academy wouldn't interfere ….
"What? You don't dare?"
Duan Lingtian sneered.
Just when Duan Lingxing was about to open his mouth and agree, Duan Lingtian suddenly spoke.
"Cousin."
Duan Lingtian opened his mouth, and his eyes emitted a trace of fear as he said in a low voice, "This Duan Lingtian is the violet-clothed youth that injured me two months ago …. Didn't you say last night that we can't act rashly and that we should first clearly investigate his background before asking Uncle to send people to deal with him?"
"What? He's the violet-clothed youth you spoke of? "
Duan Lingxing's pupils constricted. The reason he came to the cafeteria with his cousin, Duan Rong, was to meet his cousin's enemy.
He never would've thought that his cousin's enemy would be Duan Lingtian!
"Yes."
Duan Rong nodded and said with a face full of fear, "Cousin, this Duan Lingtian took the initiative to issue a challenge. This matter is strange …. You must not agree."
When he heard that Duan Lingtian was the son of Duan Rufeng, he was afraid.
Although Duan Rufeng had been missing for almost 20 years, no one had ever been able to confirm that he was dead ….
It was even to the extent that some people said that it was very likely that Duan Rufeng was still alive.
If Duan Rufeng was really alive ….
This Duan Lingtian would have a 'great backer' that no one in the Crimson Sky Kingdom could compare to.
"Hmph! I have my own plans. "
Duan Lingxing's eyes narrowed. Would he refuse Duan Lingtian's challenge?
The answer was no.
When he heard what his cousin, Duan Rong, said, his killing intent towards Duan Lingtian in his heart increased even more! This Duan Lingtian actually had the protection of a Nascent Soul martial artist by his side ….
He had a feeling that if he missed this opportunity, then wanting to kill Duan Lingtian in the future would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens!
"Hahahaha …."
Duan Lingtian looked at Duan Rong and Duan Lingxing whispering for a long time, then he couldn't help but laugh loudly, and his voice was filled with arrogance and unruliness. "Duan Lingxing, as expected of the son of the Duan Clan's trash second master. You don't even dare accept the life and death challenge of an 18-year-old youth …. Coward!"
Coward!
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the gazes that the Paladin Academy students present looked at Duan Lingxing with became strange.
"Duan Lingxing wouldn't really dare accept Duan Lingtian's life and death challenge, right?"
"Is he a man in the end? A senior year 4 student wouldn't dare accept the life and death challenge of a new year 1 student …. Moreover, the latter is only a youth!"
"This Duan Lingxing probably won't be able to hold his head up high in Paladin Academy or even the Imperial City in the future."
...
Some students spoke out one after another, as they wished for the world to be in chaos.
When these voices entered into Duan Lingxing's ears, they were like needles piercing into his heart. His gaze went cold and his face was covered in frost as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, you're simply even more arrogant than your father all those years ago! Since you want to seek death, then I'll send you on your way …. I accept your life and death challenge! "
Duan Lingxing replied very straightforwardly.
"Cousin!"
Duan Rong's face went pale. He kept having the feeling that something was wrong, and he was slightly flustered in his heart.
"Shut up! “
But after being glared at by Duan Lingxing, Duan Rong instantly didn't dare make another sound.
He knew that what this cousin of his had decided on wasn't something he could interfere with ….
Meanwhile, the people at the corner of the cafeteria where Duan Lingtian was at grew more and more.
Suddenly.
"I never imagined that I would encounter such an interesting matter while eating …. Since you all want a life and death challenge, then this old fellow will join in the fun and bear witness for all of you!"
An aged voice sounded out from above the cafeteria pavilion.
The cafeteria pavilion wasn't open to Paladin Academy students.
At this moment, a grey robed old man slowly walked down from the pavilion.
"Vice Dean!"
"Vice Dean!"
...
Instantly, all the students respectfully greeted the old man one by one.
Duan Lingtian looked over as well.
The grey robed old man had a thin figure and an ordinary appearance. Although he was old, he seemed to be in high spirits, and his eyes even flowed with a bright light ….
This was a 'powerhouse'!
At least, to the current Duan Lingtian, the old man was an expert.
"Vice Dean!"
Even the arrogant and unruly Duan Lingxing respectfully bowed when he saw the old man.
Duan Lingtian lightly nodded to the old man as well.
"You all want a life and death challenge, right?"
The old man's brows raised, and a trace of a smile of anticipation appeared on the corners of his mouth. "Then I'll be your witness …. But, do you want to notify your elders to come? This matter is no small matter, and you may die at the slightest move! "
"No need!"
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
Notify the elders to come?
He could imagine that if his mother came, she would surely not agree to his life and death challenge with Duan Lingxing.
"What about you?"
The old man looked at Duan Lingxing and asked.
Duan Lingxing's icy cold gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian as he slowly said, "I don't need it either, since the one who dies won't be me anyway …."
Duan Lingxing's words were filled with confidence.
"Let's go to the Martial Arts Practice Grounds."
The old man nodded, and with a flash of his body, he seemed to have vanished on the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already more than 10 meters away.
"What a swift speed!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted and he had a face full of surprise. The old man's speed was much faster than Xiong Quan's, and it could even be said that they weren't on the same level.
Of course, this was also because Xiong Quan hadn't recovered his strength. Once he stepped into the Origin Core Stage and refined a grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill for Xiong Quan to consume, Xiong Quan's strength would surely recover to the Void Prying Stage ….
At that time, the Crimson Sky Kingdom would give birth to the fourth true Void Stage expert!
The group of students in the cafeteria, no matter if they were eating or waiting for their food to be served, all gushed out of the cafeteria and followed up.
A life and death challenge!
Such a bustle didn't happen every day ….
They could skip the meal, but they couldn't not watch the show!
"He's called Duan Lingtian?"
A red-clothed woman with a long black whip in her hand followed him, escorted by another woman. Her eyes flickered with an eerie chill.
It was precisely Tong Li!
"Miss Li, that Duan Lingtian, a new student, actually dared to challenge a grade 4 student, and it's even a life and death challenge …. He's dead for sure this time! This time, there's someone helping you vent your anger. "
The woman following behind Tong Li lightly smiled.
"Hmph! But unfortunately, he can't die in my hands …. But, even if he's killed, I won't let his corpse go. Since I said I'll tear him into pieces, then I'll do as I say! "
Tong Li's voice was filled with bone-piercing coldness.
