The scorching sun hung high in the sky. Noon arrived as scheduled.
The vast platform where the Life and Death Arena was located was completely silent.
"Hmm? Tang Bai hasn't come yet? "
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes that were as bright as the stars in the sky. His gaze landed outside the vast platform, but he didn't find any trace of Tang Bai.
"It's already noon, and Tang Bai hasn't come yet … He probably doesn't dare to come!"
"I guessed right. Tang Bai is scared."
"Duan Lingtian just killed Shao Ying of Phecda Peak yesterday. Shao Ying's strength is not weaker than Tang Bai's, so it's normal that he doesn't dare to come."
"Hmph! Yesterday, he was still showing off in front of the Duan Lingtian, saying that the Duan Lingtian wouldn't dare to come … Now, he's the one who doesn't dare to come! "
"It's like slapping your own face."
"How embarrassing!"
…
A commotion broke out around the Life and Death Ring.
"There are also female disciples."
Duan Lingtian's gaze flashed around the life and death arena, and only now did he notice that there were many female outer court disciples amongst the surrounding crowd, and all of them were disciples of Alkaid Peak.
Duan Lingtian's heart stirred.
Looks like the people from the other peaks have come to Megrez Peak to watch the show.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
After waiting for a while, Tang Bai still didn't appear. Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and didn't wait any longer. He directly jumped off the Life and Death Arena and left.
He was not surprised that Tang Bai did not come.
After all, once one stepped onto the Life and Death Arena, it meant that one would not rest until one was dead!
Tang Bai didn't have any deep enmity with him. Tang Bai had agreed to fight him in the Arena of Life and Death yesterday because he was confident in himself. He felt that he could snatch the nonexistent Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing Scroll from his hands.
Now that the matter of him killing the Phecda Peak's sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple, Shao Ying, had spread out, Tang Bai refrained from taking action for fear of breaking the vases and didn't dare come, and this was within Duan Lingtian's expectations.
Duan Lingtian's emotions did not fluctuate much. From the beginning, he did not take Tang Bai seriously.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian also knew that.
After the incident today, Tang Bai was bound to have a notorious reputation that spread far and wide, and he would be despised by all the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples.
A person who agreed to a 'battle of life and death' but didn't dare to show up was undoubtedly a coward. Such a person wouldn't have great achievements in the martial way.
When Duan Lingtian left, he could hear the discussions behind him.
Undoubtedly, they were denouncing Tang Bai.
In the spacious canyon, the scorching sun shone down, making everything in the canyon seem to be covered in a layer of gold.
"Elder Zhao Lin, you didn't tell me that he could even kill a sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist!"
A young man of about twenty-five years old with delicate features had an extremely ugly expression. His body trembled slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man before him and said in a deep voice.
He knew that after today, he would no longer have any reputation in the Seven Star Sword Sect.
He was destined to become the object of disdain by everyone!
This made him feel both sullen and resentful!
All of this was because of the middle-aged man before him. If it wasn't for this middle-aged man, he wouldn't be in such an awkward situation.
"Tang Bai, do you think that I, Zhao Lin, intentionally wanted to harm you?"
Zhao Lin's face sank, and cold lights flickered within his eyes that were suffused with traces of killing intent.
Even he was caught off guard by what had happened yesterday!
That Duan Lingtian was actually able to kill a sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple. Such strength caused one's heart to tremble …
He suddenly realized that it wasn't so easy for him to obtain the miraculous cultivation method in Duan Lingtian's possession, the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll.
"Sorry, Elder Zhao Lin, I was too agitated earlier."
Tang Bai took a deep breath and hurriedly changed his words when he saw Zhao Lin enraged and even aroused killing intent towards him.
Only now did he realize that the person standing before him was an outer court elder of Megrez Peak, an existence at the Void Prying Stage. Killing him was even easier than cutting grass.
He didn't dare bear grudges against Zhao Lin.
His heart filled with hatred turned towards another direction. "Duan Lingtian!"
After Tang Bai left, Zhao Lin's eyes flickered with an awe-inspiring sheen, and his voice was low and oppressive. "Duan Lingtian, I truly never imagined that you, a mere young man a little over 20, would actually possess such formidable strength … Looks like my guess was right. The value of the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll that Duan Lingtian cultivated isn't inferior to the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk!"
The desire in Zhao Lin's heart was even more difficult to restrain.
As far as he was concerned.
The reason Duan Lingtian was able to possess such strength at such an age was all because he cultivated the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll!
"Since no outer court disciple is able to do anything to you … Then I can only make a move myself. I don't believe that I won't be able to find an opportunity to kill you … So long as I destroy the evidence, who would know that I killed you? "
Zhao Lin muttered to himself, and his eyes emitted extreme greed and dense killing intent.
After Duan Lingtian left the life and death arena of Megrez Peak, he didn't return to the stalactite cave, but instead went to Phecda Peak once again.
He found Hu Li.
"Hu Li, what plans do you have in the future?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Hu Li and asked in a low voice.
The current Hu Li wasn't dispirited like before, he was in high spirits, and wasn't the slightest bit discouraged because of his crippled leg. "I'm a cripple now. Even if the Seven Star Sword Sect won't expel me for now, but when I'm 30, I'm bound to be unable to become an inner court disciple and will similarly be expelled … So, I've decided to return home."
"You're going back like this …"
Although he knew that Hu Li's choice was rational, but when he saw Hu Li's crippled leg now, Duan Lingtian still couldn't help but sigh.
He could imagine that after Hu Li became a Seven Star Sword Sect disciple, his family would surely be extremely happy, and would think that Hu Li would soar into the sky …
But now, Hu Li had instead returned with a crippled body, and would surely have to endure extremely great pressure.
"Don't worry."
Hu Li laughed heartily when he perceived Duan Lingtian's worry. "Isn't it only a leg? Unless it's a martial artist with the same cultivation as me, or a freak like you, otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat me! "
Duan Lingtian nodded, and when he saw Hu Li being so cheerful, he felt at ease.
"I'll send you back?"
Duan Lingtian pondered for a moment before speaking out.
"No need. I've already written a letter to return home some time ago, and my family ought to have arrived in a few days … Duan Lingtian, cultivate properly. In another three months, it'll be the Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court martial competition. At that time, you'll take first place and allow me to brag at home."
As Hu Li finished speaking, he laughed heartily, and didn't seem like a person that had lost a leg in the slightest.
Although he knew that half of what Hu Li said was a joke, Duan Lingtian still nodded with a serious expression. "Don't worry, I'll surely take first place in the outer court martial competition! No one is able to stop my footsteps. "
As he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered with a sheen of firmness.
This was his promise to Hu Li!
"What're you being so serious for? Don't worry, so long as the Seven Star Sword Sect doesn't change the rules of the outer court martial competition, then the outer court disciples that participate in the outer court martial competition would at most be at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage … You even killed Shao Ying, could it be that you're afraid of other sixth level Origin Core Stage disciples? "
Hu Li was extremely confident towards Duan Lingtian. "So, you're sure to take first place in the outer court martial competition!"
Duan Lingtian nodded, then accompanied Hu Li for a while, and before he left, he withdrew a medicinal pill bottle and passed it to Hu Li. "Hu Li, take this."
"What medicinal pill is this?"
Hu Li received the medicinal pill bottle with a curious expression.
"This isn't a medicinal pill, it's a drop of wine."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled as he slowly spoke.
"A drop of wine?"
Hu Li was first stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian, then he scolded with a smile. "You're really stingy! How do you want me to drink a drop of wine …? "
Hu Li pulled out the cork of the medicinal pill bottle as he spoke.
Along with the dense fragrance of wine drifting out, Hu Li's body shook, and he hadn't finished speaking when he looked at Duan Lingtian with an astonished expression. "Duan Lingtian, what wine is this?"
Earlier, when he smelled the wine fragrance, Hu Li felt the Origin Energy in his body roil, and it almost allowed him to break through the bottleneck of the third level of the Origin Core Stage and break through to the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage.
Although he didn't break through, Hu Li had a feeling that if he consumed this drop of wine within the medicinal pill bottle, he would absolutely be able to instantly break through.
"Monkey King Wine."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he spoke.
"Monkey King Wine?"
Hu Li was stunned.
Duan Lingtian was able to discern that Hu Li hadn't heard of the Monkey King Wine, and he instantly explained. "Then have you heard of the Monkey Wine?"
"Of course I've heard of it, that's a good thing … Could it be that this Monkey King Wine is related to the Monkey Wine?"
Hu Li's eyes shone, and he was slightly excited.
The Monkey Wine was an existence of legend, and he'd only seen records of it in some ancient books.
"Didn't you say I was stingy earlier? I'll let you drink to your heart's content with this jug of wine. "
Duan Lingtian withdrew a jug of wine and passed it to Hu Li.
"This wine fragrance …"
Hu Li's gaze shone. Although the wine fragrance of this jug of wine was far inferior to the Monkey King Wine, it was still able to cause the Origin Energy in his body to become restless.
"This is the Monkey Wine."
Duan Lingtian smiled. "Drink it and try it."
"This is the Monkey Wine?"
Hu Li stared, yet he didn't directly drink the Monkey Wine, and instead looked at the medicinal pill bottle in his hand.
Although he hadn't heard of the Monkey King Wine, he was extremely sure that this drop of Monkey King Wine was absolutely much more precious than this jug of Monkey Wine.
Duan Lingtian guessed Hu Li's thoughts when he saw Hu Li's reaction, and he lightly smiled. "Hu Li, you can directly drink the Monkey Wine to cultivate. If nothing unexpected happens, it ought to be able to assist you to break through to the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage … As for the Monkey King Wine, properly store it away."
"Duan Lingtian, don't keep me in suspense. What exactly is the use of this Monkey King Wine?"
Hu Li rolled his eyes at Duan Lingtian as he asked anxiously.
"The Monkey King Wine … has a medicinal effect similar to the Void Advancement Pill, yet is stronger than the Void Advancement Pill! The Monkey King Wine doesn't have the side effects of the Void Advancement Pill. "
Duan Lingtian didn't waste his breath when he saw Hu Li was anxious, and he directly spoke.
Once one consumed the Void Advancement Pill, one would have no fate with the Void Initiation Stage in one's lifetime, and one would at most be able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage.
Consuming the Monkey King Wine, however, wouldn't have this side effect.
