Duan Lingtian only lightly smiled in response to Tian Hu's question.
In the eyes of others, his strength was indeed something that only an Origin Core martial artist was capable of displaying ….
Regarding this, he didn't give any further explanation.
After all, this was related to the cultivation method he cultivated, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique.
That was his greatest secret.
Once it was leaked, he would surely suffer a calamity!
Duan Lingtian had only cultivated to the second form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the Raging Python Form, and he could already feel how heaven defying this cultivation method was.
He could imagine that if the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique were to be exposed before others, even those true Void Stage experts would probably be tempted.
Before long, Duan Lingtian separated from Tian Hu and directly went to the classroom.
Within the classroom, besides Sima Changfeng, the other 17 students sat in their respective seats, and only Duan Lingtian was missing.
"Teacher."
Duan Lingtian arrived at the classroom door and smiled apologetically to Sima Changfeng.
Sima Changfeng didn't say anything and nodded. "Come in."
Only then did Duan Lingtian enter and sit down.
"Duan Lingtian, although you used to come late, you've never been late …. Tell me honestly, did you do something bad last night and can't wake up this morning?"
Xiao Xun sat behind Duan Lingtian and moved his head closer to Duan Lingtian as he laughed wickedly.
"Is that all you have in your head?"
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Xiao Xun as he spoke angrily.
Before long, the entire morning had passed.
After class ended at noon, Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun walked on the road to the cafeteria. Everywhere they passed, many students would pay attention to them ….
"Do we have flowers on our faces?"
Xiao Xun looked at Duan Lingtian and Xiao Yu as he asked.
"In any case, you and Duan Lingtian don't have flowers on your faces, but do I?"
Xiao Yu felt it was strange as well. Why were these people looking at them like that?
"Your face doesn't have any either."
Xiao Xun glanced at Xiao Yu and said in all seriousness.
Among the three of them, perhaps only Duan Lingtian could remain calm. After all, he knew the reason …
"That's Duan Lingtian, a grade 1 student who stepped into the Origin Core Stage at the mere age of 18!"
"F * ck! It couldn't be, right? A first year student at the Primal Core stage? "
At this time, two students nearby stopped and looked at Duan Lingtian, whispering to each other.
Because they were not far away, their voices were heard by Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun. The two of them finally reacted …
It turned out that the reason why so many people were staring at them along the way was not because of the flowers on their faces, but because they were looking at 'Duan Lingtian'!
"Duan Lingtian … You, broke through to the Origin Core Stage?"
Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu's faces were filled with astonishment, and their eyes revealed an inconceivable luster.
This was too exaggerated!
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly and remained silent.
"F * ck! You wouldn't have really broken through to the Origin Core Stage, right? Also, why do so many people know that you broke through to the Origin Core Stage, but we don't? Could it be that you were late this morning for something? "
Xiao Xun cursed and asked a string of questions.
Although Xiao Yu didn't finish speaking, his eyes stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian.
"When you see Tian Hu in a while, you guys can ask him yourselves."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and was slightly helpless.
In the cafeteria, Duan Lingtian's group of three had just sat down when Tian Hu arrived.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun naturally couldn't avoid asking him questions …
Quickly, under Tian Hu's narration, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun finally knew the ins and outs of the matter.
They never imagined that the reason Duan Lingtian was late this morning was actually because of Xu Qing.
They naturally knew who Xu Qing was. He was a year 2 student of Paladin Academy, and was also the publically acknowledged number one genius of Paladin Academy before Duan Lingtian appeared.
"Duan Lingtian, not only did you snatch away the title of number one genius from Xu Qing, you even made him suffer a crushing defeat in public. He's bound to be inferior to you in all aspects of Paladin Academy in the future."
Xiao Xun shook his head and was slightly shocked in his heart. He never imagined that Duan Lingtian would be so valiant and even defeat Xu Qing.
Of course, what he was even more shocked about was Duan Lingtian's cultivation …
Stepping into the Origin Core Stage at the mere age of 18!
Just thinking about it caused his scalp to go numb.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled faintly. "I gave him a chance at that time, but it was he who was overbearing."
"He deserved it."
Tian Hu had a face full of schadenfreude.
Xiao Yu looked at Duan Lingtian with a complicated gaze, and unknowingly, a trace of bitterness appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Presently, he was only a step away from the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage, but Duan Lingtian had already stepped into the Origin Core Stage …
Although he had long since no longer intended to compare himself with Duan Lingtian, he still felt a sense of loss in his heart.
"Right."
Suddenly, Tian Hu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Duan Lingtian with a slightly serious expression. "Duan Lingtian, I heard that Xu Qing's background isn't simple. He's the son of the Qilian County's County Governor, one of the 18 counties under our Crimson Sky Kingdom."
"Son of the County Governor?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he recalled the scene from this morning and came to a sudden realization.
This morning, Xu Qing didn't have a sword in his hand, but later on, he obviously took it out from his spatial ring …
At that time, Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised that Xu Qing actually had a spatial ring.
Moreover, that sword was a grade seven spirit weapon.
Now that he knew of Xu Qing's identity, he felt relieved.
Son of the County Governor?
Duan Lingtian's eyes slightly narrowed …
The Crimson Sky Kingdom only had a total of 18 counties.
And he first cut off the arm of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor's son, Pei San.
After that, he successively beat the Fair Sun County's County Governor's daughter, Tong Li, into a pig's head.
Now, he'd offended the Qilian County's County Governor's son, Xu Qing.
Out of the 18 County Governors, he'd indirectly offended three.
Under the slightly worried gazes of Xiao Yu's group of three, Duan Lingtian laughed indifferently. "What are all of you doing? Don't forget that I've already offended a County Governor. The Fair Sun County's County Governor's daughter, Tong Li, hates me to the bone. Moreover, she's the cousin of the Fifth Prince! Compared to that, this Xu Qing is nothing. "
Only now did Xiao Yu's group of three recall that this fellow was a troublemaker, and they all shook their heads and laughed bitterly.
"Actually, it's nothing much. That Xu Qing himself was overbearing. You only defeated him and didn't injure him. That Qilian County's County Governor ought to not be so petty."
Xiao Xun lightly smiled to ease the atmosphere.
Xiao Yu and Tian Hu both nodded in agreement.
As for Duan Lingtian, he didn't mind …
Qilian County's County Governor?
He wasn't even afraid of nobles like the Third Prince and Fifth Prince, how could he be afraid of a mere County Governor?!
At this moment, the entire cafeteria was practically filled with the matter of Duan Lingtian revealing his Origin Core Stage cultivation this morning and defeating Xu Qing …
Duan Lingtian had once again become the center of attention.
Duan Lingtian frowned. He didn't like the feeling of being looked at like a monkey, so he casually ate some food before leaving the cafeteria and going to the large tree at the side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds to cultivate.
In the pavilion of the cafeteria.
The old man in a grey robe had an astounded expression as well. "That little fellow actually broke through to the Origin Core Stage?"
At dusk, Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun parted ways at the gate of Paladin Academy.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, he noticed that there were people staring at him.
Two of them were his subordinates, Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
The other five people were all strangers.
However, the strength of these people wasn't even at the Nascent Soul Stage …
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a sneer as he walked into the remote alley in large strides.
Many people had already died successively in this small alley.
Without exception, these people were all people that wanted to kill Duan Lingtian.
Not long after Duan Lingtian entered the small alley, he felt waves of awe-inspiring sounds of wind coming from behind him …
In the blink of an eye, the five middle-aged men had surrounded him.
Duan Lingtian noticed that the gazes these five people shot at him now faintly contained a trace of greed. Obviously, they were scheming something.
"Looks like these people were entrusted by someone and are doing this for money."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart as he guessed.
Thinking up to here, Duan Lingtian looked at the person in the lead of the five people. This was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. His expression was savage, and one could tell with a single glance that he wasn't a kind person. "You guys are probably doing this for money, right? How much did that person pay, I'll pay double. "
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the five people, including the scarred man, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Kid, there are rules in the underworld … Since we, the Crimson North's Five Tigers, have accepted his money and negotiated this deal with you, it's useless even if you pay 10 times the price!"
The scarred man grunted coldly, and as he finished speaking, he changed the topic. "Of course, even though you won't be able to escape death …. However, if you want the person that bought your life to die, then so long as you pay us now, we guarantee to kill that person after you die!"
Hearing what the scarred man said, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be stunned. "That works?"
"Of course, we're doing this for money, and only recognize money, not people."
The scarred man said as a matter of course.
"Then how much do I have to pay for you guys to help me kill that person?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he asked with a smile on the corners of his mouth.
"100,000 silver."
The scarred man didn't hesitate in the slightest as he directly spoke.
"100,000 silver?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised. "Then how much did he pay for my life?"
"You're a student of Paladin Academy, so your life is more expensive, 200,000 silver."
The scarred man said again.
"200,000 silver?"
Duan Lingtian was first stunned, then under the dumbfounded gazes of the scarred man and the others, he started cursing. "F * * k! This young master's life is only worth 200,000 silver? "
"200,000 silver is already a lot …."
One of the scarred man's subordinates muttered.
"200,000 silver is a lot?"
Duan Lingtian laughed coldly, and with a raise of his hand, a large stack of silver notes appeared in his hand. All of them were in denominations of 10,000 silver. "Now, this young master has 1,000,000 silver notes …. As long as you can kill this young master, this young master will give it all to you. How about it?"
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the scarred man and the others were all dumbstruck.
They've done many transactions, but this was the first time they've encountered such a situation ….
"You …. Is what you said true?"
The scarred man fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his face was filled with disbelief. "Don't try to fool me, Wang Dahu, or else you'll suffer. I, Wang Dahu, have a resounding reputation in the underworld …."
"How resounding?"
