"Could it be that he really isn't?"
Xiao Yu was slightly hesitant in his heart when he heard Xiao Xun's words.
He was still extremely confident towards his intuition.
But he couldn't wrap his head around why the genius alchemist Xiao Xun's older brother spoke of would be a youth with an ordinary appearance.
How could he possibly know that Duan Lingtian's disguise technique could be said to have reached the acme of perfection!
In the next few days, Duan Lingtian's group of three cultivated within the tent.
Five days later, all the Star Mastermind Department students, including Duan Lingtian's group of three, were gathered within a spacious tent.
At the center of the tent was something similar to a model of a building.
Duan Lingtian discerned with a glance that this was the model of a city's outer perimeter.
Presently, at the side of this model, Nie Fen was standing together with a middle-aged general, and behind Nie Fen was the old man that followed behind Nie Fen like a shadow.
Duan Lingtian hadn't seen this old man in the Divine Might Marquis Estate before.
But now, relying on the perception of his Spiritual Force and the experience of Samsara Emperor Wu, he could practically confirm.
This old man was a Half-step Void Stage expert!
"Looks like Uncle Nie isn't the only Half-step Void Stage expert in the Divine Might Marquis Estate."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
With a quick thought, Duan Lingtian came to an understanding.
The status of the Divine Might Marquis Estate in the Crimson Sky Kingdom was only inferior to the Imperial Family.
Coupled with the presence of a true Void Stage expert holding down the fort, there ought to be no lack of Half-step Void Stage experts within it.
Although that Void Stage expert wasn't what he used to be, a horse is still a horse.
No one dared look down upon the Divine Might Marquis Estate's resources and resources.
The old man seemed to have noticed Duan Lingtian looking at him, and his muddy eyes squinted as he nodded to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian replied with a smile.
He was still extremely respectful towards the members of the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
Before long, the 12 students of the Star Mastermind Department of Paladin Academy had all arrived.
In addition, two middle-aged men dressed like scholars slowly walked in.
He should be at the level of a military advisor.
Duan Lingtian secretly guessed.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian heard a cold snort. At the same time, he felt a cold gaze on him.
He didn't need to turn around to know whose gaze it was.
"Commander Nie, these two are the strategists of our army."
The middle-aged general standing beside Nie Fen introduced the two middle-aged scholars to Nie Fen.
Nie Fen nodded slightly at the two middle-aged scholars. "Greetings, military advisors."
The two middle-aged scholars were flattered. "Greetings, Commander Nie!"
Even though Nie Fen was young, they didn't dare underestimate him, as he was the only son of the Divine Might Marquis, the Grand General of Agile Cavalry, Nie Yuan, whose might shook the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom. His status was extraordinary, and it was far from something they could compare to.
"General He, these twelve are the elite students of the Star Mastermind Department that Paladin Academy sent out this time."
Nie Fen looked at Duan Lingtian, Gu Xuan, and the others as he introduced them with a smile.
"Oh?"
The middle-aged general called General He, or in other words, the general that commanded the entire border army of Relentless Thriving City, swept his gaze past Duan Ling Tian and the others.
When his gaze descended onto Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, it slightly focused.
In his impression, Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department students at this age seemed to be only first or second year students, right?
Such young students, even if they came to the battlefield, seemed to be unable to be of any help.
After all, according to past practice, Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department students would only start to deeply research and comprehend military strategies and strategies when they reached fourth year and above.
In next to no time, his expression froze.
Because he saw Duan Lingtian!
"This person ought to be at most 18 years old, right?"
General He frowned as he looked at the youth before him.
Wasn't Paladin Academy taking this too lightly?
"Yes."
When Duan Lingtian saw General He's expression, he naturally knew that General He was looking down on him because of his young age.
He didn't mind.
Time would prove everything.
"General He, don't look down on this person … He's the most renowned peerless genius in our Crimson Sky Kingdom!"
Nie Fen looked at Duan Lingtian and frowned as he spoke.
"Oh?"
General He pondered for a moment when he heard this, and his gaze abruptly shone. "Could it be that he's that Duan Lingtian of the Duan Clan? An 18-year-old Origin Core Stage martial artist? "
"Exactly."
Nie Fen lightly nodded.
"Excuse me, excuse me."
After knowing Duan Lingtian's background, General He's gaze when looking at Duan Lingtian was completely different.
Even if Duan Lingtian didn't have much research in the Dao of Mastermind, Duan Lingtian's natural talent in the Martial Dao was sufficient to make him admire him.
Cloud Continent had always been a world where the strong were respected!
As far as he was concerned, an 18-year-old Origin Core Stage martial artist would surely be a great evil when he matured in the future!
"Greetings, General He."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to the middle-aged general before him. Since the general was courteous, he naturally wouldn't be disrespectful.
"You're General He? General He Wei An? "
Right at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded out.
It was Gu Xuan who stood at the side that spoke.
"This is?"
He Wei An was slightly surprised that the young man with an extraordinary bearing before him was able to call out his name.
"General He, I've heard my father say since long ago that you're a pillar of our Crimson Sky Kingdom … These past few years, it was all because of General He that the northwest border was able to defend against the numerous attacks of the Southern Champion Kingdom."
Gu Xuan lightly smiled as he spoke slowly.
"You really know how to flatter."
Xiao Xun grunted in a low voice and spoke with a voice that was like a mosquito.
"Little Brother, you're too kind. I don't dare accept your praise. The northwest border being able to defend these past few years was mostly because of the Divine Might Marquis, the Grand General of Agile Cavalry, Lord Nie Yuan. I wonder who your father is? "
Although He Wei An was modest, he still had a smile on his face from the praise.
"Gu You Ting is my father."
Gu Xuan had a refined and courteous appearance.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth held a smile.
He was able to discern.
This Gu Xuan intentionally flattered this General He and did so much foreshadowing for the sake of this moment.
"Prime Minister Gu?"
He Wei An was instantly greatly shocked when he heard this. "So it's the Young Master of the Prime Minister's family, I've truly been rude."
"Greetings, Young Master Gu."
The two middle-aged scholars that stood at the side couldn't help but be moved, and they bowed to Gu Xuan together.
For a time, Gu Xuan became the center of attention in the entire tent.
Although Gu Xuan's words were modest, the arrogance and complacency on his face was something that anyone could discern.
"I've long since heard that Young Master Gu has inherited the wisdom of the Lord Prime Minister. Since you're able to come assist our army this time, it looks like our army's plan to breach the Southern Barbaric City is just around the corner!"
He Wei An laughed heartily.
As for the two middle-aged scholars, they flattered one after another as well.
"General He and the two strategists are too kind. How can I compare to my father?"
Gu Xuan smiled modestly, but his eyes were filled with complacency as he occasionally swept his gaze past Duan Lingtian, wanting to show off his prowess in front of Duan Lingtian.
But he instead noticed with embarrassment that Duan Lingtian didn't even look at him from the beginning until the end …
It was as if Duan Lingtian disdained all of this!
"Duan Lingtian!"
Gu Xuan secretly gnashed his teeth in hatred, and a cold light flashed within his eyes.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised when he heard what He Wei An said.
Breach the Southern Barbaric City?
It looked like the arrival of the reinforcements this time had greatly increased the morale of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's side, and they were preparing to turn defense into offense.
"Young Master Gu, everyone, please come forward and take a look at the layout of the Southern Barbaric City. See if there's any way to smoothly breach the Southern Barbaric City and spread the might of our Crimson Sky Kingdom!"
Meanwhile, He Wei An had returned to the side of the layout of the Southern Barbaric City, and at the same time, he invited the group of Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department students to come forward.
Instantly, all the Star Mastermind Department students, including Duan Lingtian, stood forward.
For a time, the surroundings of the layout became crowded.
There were even three Star Mastermind Department senior students that were unable to squeeze forward.
"Hmph!"
Gu Xuan coldly grunted when he saw Duan Lingtian's group of three arrive before the model, then said in disdain, "Those first year students, stop seizing positions here and pretending to know when you don't, right? Don't you see that there are still three fifth year students squeezed behind you? "
"You!"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun's faces went grim when they heard Gu Xuan's ridicule, and they both glared angrily at Gu Xuan.
Duan Ling Tian had only just glanced at the layout of the Southern Barbaric City when he heard what Gu Xuan said, and he slowly raised his head to glance coldly and indifferently at Gu Xuan. "In this way, Young Master Gu feels that we're unable to help. Whereas you two are able to come up with a plan and assist the army in breaching the Southern Barbaric City in one go? "
"Of course! There's no difference between having the three of you and not having the three of you. "
Gu Xuan had a proud expression as he spoke bluntly.
"Young Master Gu, this place doesn't seem to be your Prime Minister's Estate, right? Aren't your actions a bit trying to usurp the role of the host? "
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"Hmph! I'm only thinking of the overall situation … General He, what do you think? Shouldn't the three of them give way to the other three fifth year students of our Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department? "
Gu Xuan glanced at Duan Lingtian with disdain, then looked at He Wei An.
"This …"
He Wei An looked at Duan Lingtian and hesitated for a moment before an apologetic expression appeared on his face. "Little Brother Ling Tian, why don't you two …"
He did indeed admire Duan Lingtian's natural talent in the Martial Dao.
But coming up with a plan for the army and war had nothing to do with natural talent in the Martial Dao.
At the same time, he didn't think that these three first year students of Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department would have any good plans.
"I understand."
Duan Lingtian spoke out to interrupt He Wei An, then nodded and used his gaze to stop Nie Fen, who was about to speak, before calling out to Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun. "Xiao Yu, Xiao Xun, since this place doesn't need us, then there's no need for us to stay here … What do you two think?"
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun snorted coldly, then left the tent with Duan Lingtian.
Nie Fen swept Gu Xuan with his gaze, and a trace of coldness appeared on the corners of his mouth.
This Gu Xuan said Duan Lingtian was useless?
Could it be that he could think of a brilliant plan like 'crossing the sea by deception?'
