"Brother Duan …"
Huang Jia Long stared at Duan Lingtian in disbelief. It was as though he had just met Duan Lingtian for the first time.
He had originally thought that he already understood this Brother Duan well enough.
However, it seemed like his knowledge of Duan Ling Tian was only a drop in the ocean.
'No wonder he's able to defeat me with just one move even though he's a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial without comprehending any profundities from the law … I can't believe I thought he's no match for Xue Jing Yu …'
Huang Jia Long was shocked and sighed repeatedly.
At this moment, the other people from the Supporting Fall Nation regained their senses. Their eyes were filled with disbelief when they looked at Duan Ling Tian again.
"H-how's this possible?!"
"Don't tell me Duan Lingtian has comprehended the second profundity from the law of earth?"
"I think so as well. Otherwise, how did he defeat the Second Prince so easily? Moreover, he defeated the Second Prince unscathed! "
…
The people from the Southern Qi Nation looked at Duan Lingtian in disbelief when they regained their senses.
The Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation looked at Duan Lingtian after he was certain his son was fine. His expression changed drastically.
He did not expect such an outcome.
If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would never have initiated the bet, because the outcome of this bet was purely him lifting a rock and smashing it on his own feet!
He wanted to humiliate the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, but he did not expect he would be the one humiliated in the end.
It was not a big deal for him to lose a King Grade Celestial Weapon.
What was more important to him was his pride!
"Thank you, Emperor Xue!"
Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, laughed when he shifted his gaze from Duan Lingtian to Xue Mingcai, the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation.
At this moment, he felt extremely proud of himself.
"Emperor Hu, I have to admit that you're quite lucky to have such a talented sectless cultivator come to the Supporting Fall Nation to compete for a spot in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
Xue Mingcai remained calm when he saw Hu Lin Yi's smug expression.
"No matter what, you and the Southern Qi Nation have lost."
Hearing Xue Mingcai's words, Hu Linyi knew that Xue Mingcai was deliberately saying that.
"I've lost this bet … However, in terms of how outstanding your son is, you, Emperor Hu, have to admit that you're inferior to me, right?"
Xue Mingcai smiled.
"Humph! Stop trying to change the topic! "
Hu Linyi's face darkened when Xue Mingcai hit his sore spot. "You … You'd better take out the money you lost."
"If you agree to bet, you must accept your loss."
Xue Mingcai smiled faintly as he took out a sword and handed it over to Hu Linyi.
The sword was a King Grade Celestial Weapon.
"Duan Lingtian."
After tossing a King Grade Celestial Sword to Hu Lin Yi, Xue Ming turned to Duan Lingtian and said with a grin on his face, "If you're interested in entering the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm on behalf of the Southern Qi Nation, I'm willing to give you my son's Golden Celestial Armor."
Xue Mingcai's words caused an uproar.
"Emperor Xue is really generous!"
"The Golden Celestial Armor is the only purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon in the Southern Qi Nation's Imperial family. It's worth at least 1,000,000 prominent Celestial Crystals in the black market. It's ten times more valuable than an ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapon."
"It seems like Emperor Xue has high hopes for Duan Lingtian …"
"With Duan Ling Tian's strength, it'll be a piece of cake for him to leave the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. If he manages to rank in the top 30 after he leaves the lower realm, Emperor Xue will be able to obtain more benefits than a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon."
"In my opinion, based on Duan Lingtian's strength, it's not impossible for him to rank in the top 10."
"If Duan Lingtian manages to rank in the top 10, Emperor Xue will definitely benefit more than a purely defensive Celestial Weapon!"
…
When the onlookers saw Xue Mingcai was trying to use a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon to poach Duan Lingtian from the Supporting Fall Nation, they turned to look at Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, even Xue Jing Yu who had returned to Xue Mingcai's side in his Golden Celestial Armor did not show any displeasure.
In fact, as though he was complementing Xue Mingcai's words, he put on a new robe and removed the Golden Celestial Armor from his body.
"You …"
Hu Lin Yi's expression was unsightly.
He did not expect Xue Mingcai would be so shameless as to openly poach him from the Supporting Fall Nation.
Hu Lin Yi took a deep breath before he handed the King Grade Celestial Sword to Duan Lingtian. At the same time, he took out a green Celestial Talisman and handed it to Duan Lingtian.
"This is a Gale Talisman inscribed by a Seven Stars Celestial King. It can only be used once. Once you crush it, you'll gain speed comparable to a Celestial King for 15 minutes.
Hu Lin Yi added, "In fact, he's even faster than most Celestial Kings!"
Clearly, this was the Gale Talisman that Hu Lin Yi had promised to give to Duan Lingtian as a reward for helping him win the bet.
"Faster than most Celestial Kings?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he received the Gale Talisman. He asked instinctively, "Faster than you, Your Majesty?"
"My speed isn't even half as fast as this talisman."
Hu Lin Yi smiled wryly.
The Gale Talisman that he had given to Duan Lingtian was something that could save his life at a critical moment.
Upon hearing Hu Lin Yi's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up even more.
Based on his understanding of Celestial Talismans, the value of such a talisman was not inferior to an ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapon.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Xue Ming Cai, the Emperor of the Southern Qi Nation, scoffed and said, "Emperor Hu, you're really stingy …"
Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Duan Lingtian, if you're willing to represent the Southern Qi Nation to enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, not only will I give you the Golden Radiant Celestial Armor, but I'll also give you two Celestial Talismans. One of them is a Gale Talisman that's even more powerful than the one Hu Lin Yi gave you.
Apart from that, I'll also give you an offensive Celestial Talisman that's comparable to the full-strength attack of a One Basic Celestial King. If you find the right opportunity, even an ordinary Ten Directions Celestial Duke won't be able to escape death from this offensive Celestial Talisman! "
Xue Ming Cai said, "This offensive Celestial Talisman is worth more than the three Gale Talismans I gave you."
In the Devata Realms, the more powerful an offensive Celestial Talisman was, the harder it was to inscribe it.
Therefore, the value of an offensive Celestial Talisman that was comparable to the full-powered attack of an ordinary One Basic Celestial King was much higher than a speed Celestial Talisman that was comparable to the Five Elements Godly King's speed for a period of time.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
…
Hearing Xue Mingcai's words, many people sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even if Duan Ling Tian managed to rank in the top 30 after he left the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, Xue Mingcai's reward would only be comparable to Duan Ling Tian's.
"You …" Hu Lin Yi was infuriated.
Xue Ming Cai's words made Hu Lin Yi speechless again.
If Duan Ling Tian did not make it into the top 30 in the end, the things Xue Mingcai took out from the Three Sects and Two Clans would, at most, be equivalent to what he had to give.
Hu Lin Yi knew Xue Ming Cai was betting on Duan Lingtian being able to rank in the top 10.
Moreover, even if Hu Lin Yi lost the bet, with Duan Lingtian's strength, it would be as easy as eating or drinking for him to rank in the top 30.
Even if Xue Ming Cai did not suffer any losses or gain, as long as Duan Ling Tian changed sides, he would be able to disgust Xue Ming Cai.
In the end, Hu Lin Yi took a deep breath and looked at Duan Lingtian again before he spread his hands.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, a crimson vest appeared in Hu Lin Yi's left hand.
The vest was completely made up of crimson scales. These scales were connected together, and there were no signs of stitching at all. There was a faint crimson light wrapped around them, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary item.
At the same time, a round object that looked like an iron bead with a bumpy surface appeared in Hu Linyi's right hand. It was dull and inconspicuous.
"That's a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon?!"
"The Imperial family of the Supporting Fall Nation has such an item as well? The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation has kept it a secret … I've never heard of the Imperial family of the Supporting Fall Nation possessing a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon! "
"Is he planning to give the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon to Duan Lingtian?"
"It seems like Emperor Hu has no choice but to pay a hefty price for Emperor Xue's attempt to poach him."
…
At this moment, many people recognized the crimson vest in Hu Lin Yi's left hand as a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
"Father has a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon?"
Even Hu Ji Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation, was shocked when he saw the crimson vest in Hu Lin Yi's hand.
It was obvious that even Hu Ji Yong, the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation, was unaware that Hu Lin Yi possessed a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
"A purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes shone brightly when he saw the vest in Hu Lin Yi's left hand.
The defensive strength of a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon was incomparable to other King Grade Celestial Weapons that were both offensive and defensive.
Although the umbrella in his hand was also a King Grade Celestial Weapon with defensive capabilities, it was not as good as a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon.
'If I can obtain this purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon, my strength will rise to a whole new level!'
For this reason, Duan Lingtian's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the crimson vest in Hu Lin Yi's hand.
"Duan Lingtian, you can choose one of these two items … This bead looks ordinary, but it's not ordinary at all. Even with all my techniques, I can't leave a mark on it. Its value should be comparable to a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon."
Hu Lin Yi allowed Duan Lingtian to choose one of the two items in his hand.
"A first-form Profound Divine Metal!"
