"Junior Brother Ling Tian, your strength is truly admirable."
Naturally, Guo Lu knew Duan Lingtian did not want to embarrass him in public. That was why he fought to a draw with him. Due to this reason, when he looked at Duan Lingtian again, a hint of gratitude could be seen in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Guo Lu, you're very strong as well. We can spar more in the future."
Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled in a refined and courteous manner.
The farce had come to an end along with Duan Ling Tian and Guo Lu ending in a tie.
Although this was the result of Duan Lingtian holding back, apart from Guo Lu, nobody knew the truth.
Even so, this news still shocked the entire Heaven Palace and the entire Mystical Sky Mansion!
A Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator below the age of forty. In the history of the Mystical Sky Mansion, there were only a few people like this. Naturally, with Duan Lingtian in the Mystical Sky Mansion, it also meant that such a peerless genius had appeared in the current generation!
The group of Heaven Palace's disciples looked at Duan Lingtian with respect in their eyes before they left with Guo Lu in an orderly manner.
When they came, they were still filled with resentment. They felt Duan Lingtian was lucky enough to be baptized in the Spirit Pool in a few days since Vice Palace Master Xiao took care of him.
However, now that they had witnessed Duan Ling Tian's strength, they were completely convinced and felt that the opportunity to be baptized in the Spirit Pool should be given to Duan Ling Tian.
In this world where the strong were respected, the strong would be respected no matter where they went.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian was a young man who was not even forty years old yet!
He was not even forty years old, but his cultivation base had already entered the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. As long as he was given enough time, he would definitely become one of the pillars of the Mystical Sky Mansion in the future. As long as his innate talent did not diminish, it was not impossible for him to become the supreme Mansion Master of the Mystical Sky Mansion.
After the group of Heaven Palace's disciples left, only two people were left on the scene. Apart from Duan Lingtian, Wang Fei Xuan was there as well.
Wang Fei Xuan stared at Duan Lingtian for a long time without shifting her gaze.
The young man in front of her had given her a huge shock.
Even Guo Lu who was ranked in the top three among all the Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouses in the Heaven Palace could not defeat him and ended in a draw with him.
At this moment, Wang Fei Xuan's heart was filled with a sense of defeat.
In the past, she thought that Li Feng was the only person in the younger generation whom she could look up to.
However, it seemed like there was another person like her.
Perhaps this man was not as strong as Li Feng, but compared to her, he was much stronger.
"Are you done looking at me?"
Wang Fei Xuan only regained her senses when a voice resonated in the air. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian who frowned when he realized Wang Fei Xuan was staring at him.
"Bah! Who's looking at you? "
Wang Fei Xuan snapped back to her senses. Her beautiful face flushed red as she spat on the ground.
"I'm just asking if you're done looking at me? I didn't say you were looking at me, did I? Are you admitting that you're looking at me? "
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow as he tried to hold back the smile on his face.
He did not expect this Great Young Miss Wang who had always been rude and unreasonable in front of him would have such a shy side to her. Compared to before, she was much cuter now.
When Duan Lingtian saw Wang Fei Xuan's face was turning redder, he turned around and returned to his room before closing the door behind him.
Bang!
Wang Fei Xuan only snapped back to her senses when she heard the sound of the door closing. She clenched her fists angrily and muttered, "What an unromantic fellow!"
"Unromantic?"
Duan Lingtian, who had just entered the room, naturally heard Wang Fei Xuan's words. He could not help but smile bitterly.
He could naturally feel Wang Fei Xuan's interest in him.
Perhaps Wang Fei Xuan's current interest in him was only limited to his innate talent and strength, but who knew if it would change into something else as time passed?
Putting aside the fact that he already had two fiancées and a confidante, his fiancée, Kerr, was still in danger. He was not in the mood to flirt with other women.
Therefore, whenever he faced Wang Fei Xuan, he would try his best to avoid her.
I can't afford to offend her, but can't I just avoid her?
"There are still a few days left. Hopefully, I can make further progress."
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian returned to the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and continued to cultivate.
Duan Lingtian who was immersed in his cultivation was, naturally, unaware that news of him defeating Huang Ji, an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Heaven Palace's disciple, and coming to a draw with Guo Lu, a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Heaven Palace's disciple, had already spread like wildfire in the Heaven Palace, shocking everyone.
"He's not even forty years old, but his strength is actually on par with Guo Lu?"
"Guo Lu's strength can be ranked in the top three among all the Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators in the Heaven Palace. Even so, he's only on par with Ling Tian?"
"Where did this freak come from, Ling Tian? His strength and innate talent are almost on par with Li Feng who was the talk of the town. "
"A Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouse below the age of forty has only appeared a few times in the history of our Mystical Sky Mansion. I can't believe it's happening again. Don't tell me the golden age of our Mystical Sky Mansion is about to arrive?"
"If Ling Tian can maintain his current innate talent and progress, he might be able to lead our Mystical Sky Mansion to the peak of the Dobusei Subterranean just like the new Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!"
…
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the Heaven Palace.
There were even some who linked Duan Lingtian to the current Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. After all, it was only after Duan Lingtian became the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion that the Azure Cloud Mansion was able to stand at the peak of the Dobusei Subterranean and rival the Mountainshade Black Market.
However, they did not know the current Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was Ling Tian's father.
Naturally, even Duan Lingtian was unaware of this. Otherwise, he would not have come to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
"Good lad! He actually managed to defeat Huang Ji and come to a draw with Guo Lu!"
When Xiao Yi, the Vice Mansion Master of Heaven Palace, heard about this, he was also shocked.
Initially, he thought Duan Lingtian was only an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. It did not cross his mind that Duan Lingtian was actually a Mastery Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. Moreover, his strength was not something an ordinary Mastery Refined Saint Stage powerhouse could compare to.
This could be seen from the fact that he was able to come to a draw with Guo Lu.
However, even in his dreams, Xiao Yi would never have thought that the reason why the person who had fought Guo Lu to a draw was because he had shown mercy.
Otherwise, he would have been able to defeat Guo Lu in just one move!
At the same time, the news of Duan Lingtian coming to a draw with Guo Lu had also spread to the Earth Palace, Mystical Palace, and Yellow Palace.
Although Guo Lu was only an ordinary disciple in the Heaven Palace, many people from the other three palaces knew about him due to his strength being at the peak of the Mastery Refined Saint Stage. This was especially true for the disciples from the other three palaces who were also at the Mastery Refined Saint Stage.
"Guo Lu is ranked in the top three among the Heaven Palace's Mastery Refined Saint Stage disciples?"
"Such a person actually came to a draw with Ling Tian?"
"My goodness! Ling Tian is actually so strong! Originally, I thought his cultivation base being at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage was already ridiculous enough. I didn't expect him to be so freakish! "
"Speaking of freakish, I think Li Feng who appeared in the Rising Sky Mansion's district is even more ridiculous. Li Feng has already broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage when he's not even forty years old yet! Compared to Ling Tian, there's still a huge gap between them. "
"Indeed, Li Feng is even more freakish."
…
The disciples from the three palaces could not help but compare Duan Lingtian to Li Feng.
If Duan Lingtian heard their words, he would definitely smile wryly.
Li Feng was merely him from a year ago.
Currently, his strength was on a completely different level compared to a year ago.
Naturally, even if Duan Lingtian heard their words, he would only smile wryly and would not explain himself.
After all, he was no longer Li Feng but Ling Tian!
No matter what, the news of Duan Lingtian coming to a draw with Guo Lu still swept through the entire Mystical Sky Mansion like a hurricane. Even many of the important figures in the Mystical Sky Mansion were shocked by this news.
Many of them even wanted to take him in as their disciple.
No matter how the undercurrent was stirring, Duan Lingtian still stayed obediently in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate. He only came out of the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda when the day of the Spirit Pool's opening arrived. He opened the door and walked out before he sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard.
With a raise of his hand, a bottle of wine appeared in his hand. Duan Lingtian took a sip from it.
He was waiting.
Not long after, Duan Lingtian heard a light gust of wind. He raised his head immediately.
Initially, he thought Wang Pi had come. He did not expect the person who came was Wang Fei Xuan.
For some reason, Duan Lingtian felt a headache whenever he saw Wang Fei Xuan. He could neither scold nor hit this woman. After all, other than her temper, she did not do anything out of line to him.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was unaware that Wang Fei Xuan was the one who had instigated the group of Heaven Palace's disciples a few days ago. Otherwise, his opinion of Wang Fei Xuan would have changed.
"Ling fellow, you actually came out on time so early in the morning. I was thinking if you didn't come out, I would've told Senior Brother Wang Pi that you gave me the opportunity to be baptized in the Spirit Pool."
Wang Fei Xuan walked in casually and sat opposite Duan Lingtian without any trace of politeness before she said to Duan Lingtian.
"Do you think Senior Brother Wang Pi will believe you?"
Duan Lingtian replied calmly as he gulped down a mouthful of wine.
"Hurmph!"
Wang Fei Xuan snorted softly. Her light eyebrows were slightly knitted together. It was a beautiful sight.
The instant he saw Wang Fei Xuan frowning, Duan Lingtian who was inadvertently glancing at Wang Fei Xuan froze as though his acupuncture points had been pressed.
The reason for this was because when Wang Fei Xuan frowned, she looked a little similar to his fiancée, Kerr.
As the saying went, 'The sight of a beautiful sight makes one sad.' When Duan Lingtian saw the resemblance between Wang Fei Xuan and Kerr, he was momentarily stunned.
"Could it be that this fellow has been enlightened?"
