However, Xiao Yu didn't accept the Spatial Ring that Duan Lingtian passed over, and he shook his head. "Duan Lingtian, this is too precious, I can't accept it. You should keep it yourself, or leave it for Li Fei to use. "
"Just take it since I'm giving it to you. When did you become so wishy-washy?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head as he stretched out his hand and directly stuffed the Spatial Ring into Xiao Yu's hand as he spoke angrily.
Xiao Yu's eyes flashed as a trace of gratitude flashed within, but he didn't refuse again.
If he were to refuse again at this time, then it would seem slightly pretentious.
"Thank you."
Xiao Yu smiled at Duan Lingtian, and a trace of warmth arose within his heart.
Only a Grade 7 Weapons Craftsman was able to refine a Spatial Ring.
Although it wasn't a Spirit Weapon, it was still a rare item, and the value of just one was no less than a few million.
Moreover, it was a priceless item.
"The Vice Dean has arrived!"
Suddenly, someone spoke, and instantly, the entire Martial Arts Practice Grounds became silent.
The gazes of everyone descended onto the grey figure that slowly walked over from afar.
It was a grey clothed old man who revealed a trace of dignity between his brows as he walked over with large strides with an imposing manner that shot into the sky like a rainbow. He was precisely the Vice Dean of Paladin Academy, Zhan Xiong.
After Zhan Xiong arrived, he spoke loudly. "Students of the Star General Department, stand to the right. Students of the Star Mastermind Department, stand to the left. "
As soon as Zhan Xiong finished speaking, the stream of people in the Martial Arts Practice Grounds split into two.
There were exactly 300 people of the Star General Department gathered together, forming a dense mass.
On the other hand, there were 12 people standing sparsely in the Star Mastermind Department.
Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xun, these three year 1 students, occupied a quarter of the people there.
Duan Lingtian noticed that the Prime Minister's son, Gu Xuan, was also within the group of people of the Star Mastermind Department, and beside him were two other people.
Duan Lingtian had some impression of these two people, as they were by Gu Xuan's side yesterday.
Meanwhile, Gu Xuan noticed Duan Lingtian's group of three, and his face sank as he frowned.
"Vice Principal!"
Gu Xuan suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was loud and suppressed most of the sparse voices in the martial arts practice field.
"Hmm?"
Zhan Xiong looked at Gu Xuan when he heard this. He naturally knew Gu Xuan, the son of the Prime Minister. "Gu Xuan, do you have anything to say?"
"Vice Dean, according to what I know, according to the rules of our Paladin Academy, when it comes to the battlefield, the lowest requirement for Star General students is the second year, and the lowest requirement for Star Mastermind students is the fourth year … These three people are only first year Star Mastermind students. I suspect that they want to fish in troubled waters and blend in with us to head to the battlefield at the northwest border."
Gu Xuan pointed at the Duan Lingtian trio. His voice was loud, and his eyes were filled with disdain.
For a moment, the gazes of all the students present fell upon Duan Lingtian and the other two.
"Isn't that Duan Lingtian?"
"Also, the two people beside him seem to be first year students of the Star Mastermind Department."
"Could it be that they really want to fish in troubled waters and mix in with us to head to the northwest battlefield?"
"Hmph! As long as it isn't someone on the list, wanting to fish in troubled waters is practically impossible! "
...
Many students pointed and discussed animatedly.
Gu Xuan had a complacent expression as he glanced at the Duan Lingtian trio, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer, as if he'd already seen the scene of the Vice Dean Zhan Xiong driving the three of them away.
"This Gu Xuan is really as disgusting as a fly."
Xiao Xun's face sank, and a trace of fierceness flashed within his eyes.
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze went cold as he took a step forward and looked at Gu Xuan.
Before Zhan Xiong could speak, Duan Lingtian spoke first with a loud voice that shot into the sky. "Gu Xuan, you keep talking about rules, but why have I never heard of the rule that first year students of Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department can't enter the battlefield?"
"Hmph!"
Gu Xuan met Duan Lingtian's gaze when he heard this, and he said with a mocking expression, "Although there isn't a written rule, but according to the past practice of Paladin Academy, it has always been like this … I can be sure that the three of you surely want to fish in troubled waters and slip through."
"Practice?"
Traces of coldness appeared in Duan Lingtian's eyes as he sneered. "You said it was a practice, could it be that a practice can't be broken? You keep saying that we're fishing in troubled waters, then I'm curious, on what basis did you make this decision? Just because we're first year students, you think we're inferior to you? You think we don't have the qualifications to appear here? "
"Of course. How much do first year students, especially students of the Star Mastermind Department, know about the Dao of Mastermind? Even if people like the three of you enter the battlefield, you'll only be a burden. "
Gu Xuan sneered, and his words were filled with disdain towards Duan Lingtian's group of three.
"Enough!"
Right at this moment, Zhan Xiong interrupted. "Gu Xuan, Duan Lingtian's group of three are indeed people on the list, you don't have to doubt this … Duan Lingtian was strongly recommended by Teacher Sima. As for Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, they're the Junior Marquis of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, and they were personally added to the list by the commander of the reinforcements this time, General Nie Fen."
"Hmph! So it's three fellows that got in through the back door. "
Hearing Zhan Xiong's explanation, Gu Xuan looked at Duan Lingtian's group of three with a face full of ridicule and disdain.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun's faces sank as they glared angrily at Gu Xuan.
"Idiot!"
Duan Lingtian looked at Gu Xuan, and the corners of his mouth curled into a wisp of coldness as he slowly spat out two words.
"What did you say?!"
Gu Xuan's face went grim. This Duan Lingtian actually dared to call him an idiot?
As the son of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Prime Minister, it was the first time in his life that he'd been humiliated like this!
Instantly, his chest was completely filled with flames of rage!
Duan Lingtian turned his head and no longer paid any attention to the exasperated Gu Xuan, allowing him to rage there.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Gu Xuan's face sank, and his eyes flickered with traces of a vicious sheen as he stared at Duan Lingtian, and he swore in his heart. "Just you wait, there will be a day when I'll kill you!"
Although he wished for nothing more than to explode out and kill Duan Lingtian right now, he still had some misgivings ….
Firstly, the Vice Dean was present now, and if he were to take the initiative to make a move, he would surely be in a passive position.
Secondly, if Duan Lingtian used that strange inscription to attack him, he would be unable to guard against it.
After all, even the son of the City Guard Army's Commander, Xue Lu, Xue Lang, an existence at the second level of the Origin Core Stage, had his entire cultivation destroyed by Duan Lingtian's inscription.
He'd always felt fear towards the inscription in Duan Lingtian's hand.
So, if he didn't have 100% confidence, he wouldn't easily make a move.
As the son of the Prime Minister, he naturally wasn't a simple-minded, well-developed idiot. Although he hated Duan Lingtian to the extreme in his heart, he wouldn't rashly make a move.
"This Gu Xuan is pretty good at enduring."
Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted and he was slightly surprised when he saw Gu Xuan not make a move for a long time.
As far as he was concerned, this Gu Xuan was much more dangerous than Su Tong and Xue Lang ….
This was a person that knew how to endure silently.
This sort of person was generally adept at hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to make a move, and was extremely terrifying.
"Alright, all of you go to the entrance now. General Nie Fen has already ordered people to prepare horses for all of you and is waiting there."
Before long, 312 Paladin Academy students walked out of Paladin Academy in a formidable array under the lead of the Vice Dean, Zhan Xiong.
Outside Paladin Academy's entrance.
More than three hundred armored soldiers were each sitting on a horse. In each of their hands, there was another horse that they were leading …
These extra horses were obviously prepared for the group of Paladin Academy students.
"Vice Dean Zhan."
A curly bearded man that wore armor and had a stocky build spurred his horse forward and arrived before Zhan Xiong before nodding to Zhan Xiong.
Duan Lingtian looked at the curly bearded man and his brows slightly twitched. He was able to discern that this curly bearded man was an existence at the Nascent Soul Stage and possessed extraordinary strength.
"Vice General Jiao, these are the students on the namelist this time."
Zhan Xiong slowly spoke in response.
"I'll be troubling Vice Dean Zhan."
The curly bearded man nodded, then instantly opened his mouth and roared. "Students of Paladin Academy, get on your horses!"
Instantly, all 312 Paladin Academy students, including Duan Lingtian, got on their horses.
There were exactly 312 horses.
"Vice Dean Zhan, farewell!"
The curly bearded man cupped his hands towards Zhan Xiong, then spurred his horse to gallop out. "Let's go!"
For a time, Duan Lingtian and the others mixed in with the armored soldiers and followed behind the curly bearded man as they walked out of the Imperial City in a formidable array.
All along the way, they caused a great sensation.
The people on the streets moved aside and saluted with their gazes towards this group of people.
"These are the reinforcements that Paladin Academy sent to the northwest border battlefield?"
"As expected of the students of Paladin Academy, all of them are in high spirits and have extraordinary bearings."
"Eh, there's actually a youth … wearing violet clothes. Could it be that he's that genius martial artist, Duan Lingtian, that's been giving rise to much discussion recently?"
"He should be! Besides him, Paladin Academy probably doesn't have such a young student. "
...
Before long, the gazes of many people descended onto Duan Lingtian and they all exclaimed in surprise.
Duan Lingtian became the center of attention all along the way.
"Hmph!"
Gu Xuan's expression was extremely unsightly when he saw Duan Lingtian being so popular, and his gaze became even more gloomy and cold.
Fifth Prince's Estate.
Within the pergola, a young man with an extraordinary bearing was sitting across from a middle-aged general in light armor.
"At this time, that Duan Lingtian should have already set out."
The young man's eyes focused as he slowly spoke.
"Hmph! This time, we'll make sure he doesn't return! "
The middle-aged general's eyes focused as they flashed with bloodthirsty killing intent.
"Commander Xue, don't speak so early … Don't forget, Duan Lingtian has an offensive inscription that can deal with Origin Core martial artists. According to my knowledge, even the Su Clan's Grand Elder's grandson, Su Tong, had his Dantian crippled by Duan Lingtian using an offensive inscription. "
Slight fear appeared on the young man's face.
"Don't worry Fifth Prince, with a Nascent Soul martial artist making a move this time, we'll surely succeed!"
The middle-aged general was precisely the City Guard Army's Commander, Xue Lu.
