Although the pressure test was simple and crude, one had to admit that it was a very efficient test. The results were convincing as well.
When they saw Xiao Yi, the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, soaring up into the sky, apart from Duan Lingtian and a few other Refined Saint Stage Heaven Palace's disciples, the remaining people had a solemn expression on their faces. The True Origin in their bodies surged and covered their bodies as they prepared to deal with the incoming pressure.
Soon after, the pressure came.
In the beginning, the pressure was not great. However, as time went by, the pressure grew.
Due to the fact that the pressure was rising step by step, the onlookers from afar could clearly see that among the forty over people present on the scene, many of their faces had turned red as though they were under great pressure.
After a while, these people whose faces had turned red the earliest were pushed down from the sky.
They had also lost their chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone because of this.
There were a total of five people who were eliminated in the first round.
When the five of them were eliminated, it was only natural that the remaining Heaven Palace's disciples below the Refined Saint Stage felt pressured. All of them, including Liu Jian and Ren Fei, had a solemn expression on their faces as they focused on resisting the increasing pressure.
As for Duan Lingtian, Wang Fei Xuan, Gao Peng, Zhao Ji, and the other Refined Saint Stage Heaven Palace's disciples, they stood in the sky as though nothing had happened. It was as though they were not affected by the pressure at all.
As Refined Saint Stage powerhouses, their strength was much stronger than the others. In the face of this level of pressure, they did not feel anything at all.
On the contrary, many of the Refined Saint Stage disciples, including Ren Fei, began to turn red. Not only that, but some of them were sweating profusely as their bodies trembled. It was obvious they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Whoosh!
Soon after, another Heaven Palace's disciple could not withstand the pressure and fell from the sky. This meant that he had been eliminated and had lost his chance to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
"This Ren Fei …"
Duan Lingtian stood in the sky calmly. His gaze swept past the group of Pristine Saint Stage Heaven Palace's disciples before it finally landed on Ren Fei. He could not help but frown.
With just a glance, he could tell Ren Fei's current situation was not optimistic.
"I'm afraid he's going to be eliminated."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian heard Wang Fei Xuan's voice. Obviously, Wang Fei Xuan also noticed Ren Fei's current situation. "I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy your kindness."
Duan Lingtian nodded and subconsciously looked at Liu Jian.
After all, he was at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage. Compared to Ren Fei who was a Mastery Pristine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, Liu Jian's current situation was much better. He was even better than many Heaven Palace's disciples who were at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage.
"Liu Jian should be able to pass this round."
Wang Fei Xuan's voice once again entered Duan Lingtian's ears. Obviously, after looking at Ren Fei, she also looked at Liu Jian.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian responded. Even without Wang Fei Xuan's reminder, he could also see this. He thought to himself, 'Looks like I can only return Elder Liu's favor this time … As for Vice Mansion Master Ren's favor, I'll return it in the future when I have the chance.'
The Elder Liu that Duan Lingtian mentioned was the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion, Liu Hong Guang.
As for Vice Mansion Master Ren, he was, naturally, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, Ren Zhong.
Both of them were the hosts of the Rising Sky Ranking in the past. They had helped Duan Lingtian a lot during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. Originally, Duan Lingtian wanted to join the force behind one of them as a way to return the favor.
However, it did not cross his mind that when he was waiting for Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang after leaving the Nimble Valley, he suddenly learned that the Mystical Sky Mansion was recruiting Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty. Due to this reason, he decided to stand Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang up.
He had always felt guilty about this, and he always wanted to find a chance to return the favor.
This time, the Mystical Sky Mansion's Saint Martial Secret Zone had become a good place for him to return the favor.
Unfortunately, if he wanted to return the favor in the Saint Martial Secret Zone, he still needed their cooperation. It was obvious that Ren Fei from Sky Hurdle Mansion would not be able to obtain a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone. This caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to help him.
Just like Duan Lingtian and Wang Fei Xuan had predicted, Ren Fei was quickly eliminated.
After he was eliminated, Ren Fei had a lonely expression on his face. He looked at Duan Lingtian who was hovering in the sky and sighed deeply.
He knew he had lost a great opportunity.
Originally, if he obtained a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone, he would be able to work with Duan Lingtian. With Duan Lingtian's help, he would definitely be able to comprehend a high-grade Divine Ability Relic.
However, he had failed to live up to expectations and failed to obtain a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone. He was destined to have no fate with the Divine Ability Relic in the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
"God is really playing a joke on me. First, he dropped a piece of pie for me to eat, but when I ate it, I realized it was fake. I can't eat it at all."
This was how Ren Fei felt at this moment.
However, since Ren Fei was mentally prepared to be eliminated from the beginning, he did not feel too sad. He only felt a little regretful.
Ren Fei retreated to the side and looked at Liu Jian enviously. "Look at how relaxed Liu Jian is now. It won't be difficult for him to obtain a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone. How enviable! I can imagine he'll definitely benefit a lot if he enters the Saint Martial Secret Zone with Ling Tian and Wang Fei Xuan. "
The moment Ren Fei thought of this, his eyes seemed as though they were about to spit fire. It was a burning desire that was mixed with jealousy.
He believed with Duan Lingtian's help, Liu Jian would definitely be able to comprehend a high-grade Divine Ability Relic.
"How useless!"
Although Wang Fei Xuan was mentally prepared, she still could not help but curse in a low voice when she saw Ren Fei being eliminated.
Duan Lingtian had long experienced the true character of this Great Young Miss Wang next to him. Due to this reason, he was not surprised by this.
"Ren Fei, I remember two people from the Sky Hurdle Mansion entered the Mystical Sky Mansion. The other person seems to be at the Mastery Pristine Saint Stage as well. If you compare your strength to his, who's stronger? He seems to have gone to the Mystical Palace. Do you think he'll be able to obtain a spot to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone? "
Although Duan Lingtian was prepared to return the favor to the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, he would be relieved if he could return the favor in advance after entering the Saint Martial Secret Zone.
After Ren Fei was eliminated, he recalled Ren Zhong had brought two people with him to the Mystical Sky Mansion.
The other person was also at the Mastery Pristine Saint Stage.
"His strength is slightly weaker than mine. As for whether he'll be able to obtain a spot to enter the Mystical Palace, I'm not sure. However, I think his chances are higher than mine. Although the Mystical Palace doesn't have as many spots as the Heaven Palace, the competition isn't as intense. "
When Ren Fei heard Duan Ling Tian's question through Voice Transmission, a hint of jealousy could be heard in his voice.
Previously, the reason he entered the Heaven Palace was because he was chosen by the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace, Xiao Yi. He did not have the right to choose so he was neither Duan Lingtian nor Wang Fei Xuan.
If he had the chance to choose, he would definitely not choose the Heaven Palace.
As the saying went, 'It's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.'
"That's good. If I meet him in the Saint Martial Secret Zone, I'll do my best to help him. "
Duan Lingtian replied through Voice Transmission.
"Thank you."
When Ren Fei heard Duan Lingtian's words, he quickly thanked him. At the same time, he could not help but ask through Voice Transmission, "Ling Tian, is it convenient for you to tell me why you're helping us? I heard from Liu Jian that you're the one who said you want to repay the favor to our seniors. Is it convenient for you to tell me what favor you owe us? "
"Strictly speaking, it's not me who owes your elder a favor. It's a friend of mine who owes your elder a favor … Back then, because of some urgent matters, he stood your elder up, so he felt very guilty. Half a year ago, when he broke through to the Eminent Saint Stage and left the Lower Province for the Upper Province, he told me that if there's a chance, I'll help him repay the favor to your seniors. "
Duan Lingtian replied.
He had reason to believe that his actions earlier had caused Ren Fei, who was a disciple of the Sky Hurdle Mansion, and Liu Jian, who was a disciple of the Raging Wave Mansion, to be certain that he had a close relationship with Li Feng, the strongest person on the Rising Sky Ranking.
After all, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion and the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion were the ones who presided over the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. They must have told their juniors about his actions back then, including his Sun True Origin and his Territory that was as hot as the sun.
For this reason, he took advantage of the situation and said that Li Feng was his friend.
"It seems like I'm right. You're really related to Li Feng!"
Ren Fei finally understood what was going on. His voice was filled with shock. "You said earlier that Li Feng had already broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage half a year ago?"
Ren Fei's voice was slightly trembling when he said this.
He had already broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage before the age of forty!
Such innate talent left him in the dust. A sense of helplessness rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded his head.
"Can you tell me what's the relationship between you and Li Feng? Why are your True Essences and Domains so similar? "
Ren Fei could not help but ask. This was one of the things that puzzled him the most.
"Strictly speaking, he can be considered as my Senior Brother."
Duan Lingtian replied through Voice Transmission, "Our Master is from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He came to the Lower Province a long time ago to live in seclusion and took me and Li Feng as his disciples. We've been together since we were young, and we cultivate the same cultivation method. Even the martial tactics we cultivate are the same. In the end, the Territories we master are almost the same as well. "
"Your Master must be a powerhouse from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!"
Ren Fei said enviously.
"Perhaps … However, he has already returned to the Upper Province ten years ago. Even for us, we can only rely on our own strength to look for him after we've broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage. "
Duan Lingtian said.
