When faced with Hu Xue Feng's courteous greeting, Li Fei instead paid no attention to it, as if she utterly didn't hear it.
The smile on Hu Xue Feng's face was slightly stiff, but he still maintained it. His gaze moved onto Duan Lingtian, and traces of frightening coldness were mixed within the depths of his eyes. "Junior Brother, how do I address you?"
"Little Fei, let's go over."
Duan Lingtian held Li Fei's hand as he walked with large strides towards the balcony, and from the beginning until the end, he utterly didn't look Hu Xue Feng in the eye.
"Yes."
When he saw Li Fei meekly nodding her head, she leaned on Duan Lingtian's robust shoulder like a little bird and walked into the balcony …
The smile on Hu Xue Feng's face completely froze.
When Zuo Qing saw Hu Xue Feng's slightly grim expression, the ice on her face seemed to have instantly melted, and she said with a smile, "Hu Xue Feng, this Junior Brother is my Junior Sister's man. He's called Duan Lingtian! "
After she finished speaking, Zuo Qing followed Duan Lingtian and Li Fei.
Duan Lingtian?
These three words were like a thunderclap that sounded out by Hu Xue Feng's ears.
"He's Duan Lingtian?"
Hu Xue Feng's gaze focused to descend onto Duan Lingtian's back, and it flickered with a dense sheen. "An outer court disciple that has just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect for half a year actually dares to disregard me? Does he really think that he can run wild without fear just because he killed a sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple? "
After Duan Lingtian's group of three walked into the Mizar Platform, the outer court elders of Mizar Peak finally appeared.
These outer court elders clustered around a middle aged man in embroidered clothes as they walked over in large strides.
This middle aged man in embroidered clothes was also the only person amongst everyone present that didn't wear the uniform uniform of the Seven Star Sword Sect …
The middle aged man in embroidered clothes had a firm expression, a dignified expression was revealed between his brows, and his eyes flickered with bright lights as if they could see through everything.
"Peak Master!"
The crowd of outer court disciples on the Mizar Platform opened up a path in unison, and they respectfully bowed to the middle aged man in embroidered clothes.
Mizar Peak's Peak Master!
When the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes appeared, Duan Ling Tian had already guessed his identity.
As it turned out, he was right.
"Senior Sister, he's the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan?"
Li Fei asked Zuo Qing.
"Yes."
Zuo Qing nodded.
"Senior Brother Shi Hao is here too!"
A low cry broke the short silence of the Mizar Platform. Everyone looked over.
Outside the Mizar Platform, two figures were walking side by side.
It was a young man with a twisted and ferocious face and a pair of triangular eyes.
A middle-aged man with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
"Eh, the one beside Senior Brother Shi Hao seems to be the Megrez Peak's outer court elder, Zhao Lin?"
"That's right, it's Elder Zhao Lin."
…
Many people recognized the person beside Shi Hao.
"Zhao Lin?"
Seeing Zhao Lin here, Duan Lingtian could not help but frown.
In his opinion, this Zhao Lin was definitely up to no good by mixing with Shi Hao.
"He's Shi Hao? He's simply as if he was carved out from the same mold as Shi Yan. "
Li Fei's beautiful brows slightly knit together.
"Peak Master!"
After Shi Hao and Zhao Lin arrived, they both bowed to the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan lightly smiled as he nodded to Zhao Lin. "Elder Zhao Lin, I never imagined that you would be so interested in the second round of the outer court martial competition, to actually come personally."
"Peak Master, the outer court martial competition this time is different from the past, I naturally have to come and broaden my horizons."
The corners of Zhao Lin's mouth curled into a smile, and he seemed to be implying something.
"Looks like you already know."
Zheng Fan glanced deeply at Zhao Lin, then looked at Shi Hao who was beside Zhao Lin and nodded indifferently. "Shi Hao, I hope you're able to accomplish something today, and don't disgrace your reputation as the number one disciple in the outer court."
"Don't worry, Peak Master, my goal today is number one!"
Shi Hao nodded, and his triangular eyes flickered with a sheen of confidence.
"Very good."
Zheng Fan nodded, then his figure flashed out to leap onto the combat ring at the center, then he looked around at the surroundings before slowly speaking. "There's a change in the rules of the outer court martial competition this time, I presume everyone already knows … Today, there's something I want to tell the 60 outer court disciples that are participating in the second round of the outer court martial competition in advance!"
Zheng Fan's voice wasn't loud, yet it contained dense Origin Energy, and it clearly entered into the ears of everyone present like a thunderclap reverberating in their ears.
For a moment, the gazes of all the Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples present descended onto Zheng Fan, as they all wanted to know what Zheng Fan was going to say next.
"Could it be that there's another new rule?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as bewilderment arose in his heart.
Finally, under the gazes of everyone present, Zheng Fan spoke once more. "Today, the second round of the outer court martial competition will abandon the past traditions. For the sake of allowing all the outer court disciples that are participating in the second round of the outer court martial competition to be able to go all out and fight with all their might … When the 60 outer court disciples undergo elimination battles in the second round of the outer court martial competition, life and death will be disregarded! "
"In other words, even if someone dies in the combat ring today, the sect won't punish the outer court disciple that killed him."
Zheng Fan finished speaking in a single breath.
Mizar Platform was deathly silent.
Disregard life and death?
This …
In next to no time, many people reacted to this, and their faces went ghastly pale.
These people were all sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples that had obtained the qualifications to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition.
They came in high spirits, but now, all of them were dejected, like eggplants that had been beaten by frost.
"Earlier, the Peak Master said that today's outer court martial competition disregarded life and death? In other words, killing each other is allowed? "
"It seems to be … Oh my god! In this way, wouldn't someone die today? "
…
The crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples that stood on Mizar Platform instantly burst into an uproar.
The outer court martial competition disregarded life and death!
In the history of the Seven Star Sword Sect, this was something that had never occurred before.
"I give up!"
"I give up as well!"
…
In next to no time, some outer court disciples that obtained the qualifications to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition couldn't help but give up.
These outer court disciples were all sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artists.
Although they wanted to show off in the outer court martial competition as well, but now that it involved their lives, they had no choice but to be careful and prudent.
Otherwise, the slightest carelessness might cause them to lose their lives!
They didn't dare gamble.
Moreover, they knew their limits.
This time, almost half of the 60 outer court disciples that obtained the qualifications to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition were at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage.
Even if they participated, it would be impossible for them to obtain a ranking.
In the outer court martial competition, only the people that were ranked in the top 10 would be able to obtain the corresponding generous rewards.
The Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan, had a calm expression, as if he wasn't surprised in the slightest, and said indifferently, "Now, the 60 outer court disciples that obtained the qualifications to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition, those that want to obtain a good result or even fight for the top 10 … Come to my side, an elder will register all of you."
"As for the outer court disciples that gave up, there's no need to come up."
As soon as Zheng Fan finished speaking.
A figure seemed to have transformed into a ghost that instantly flashed onto the combat ring and stood beside Zheng Fan.
"It's Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng!"
Instantly, many people recognized the first person that ascended the combat ring.
"As expected of the personal disciple of the Merak Peak's Master! Even if Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng is facing a life and death battle in the outer court martial competition, he's still not afraid in the slightest! "
"Supposedly, Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng was bestowed a grade seven spirit sword with a 29% amplification by the Peak Master of Merak Peak. Even Senior Brother Shi Hao might not be able to compare to his current strength!"
"No wonder he's so confident."
…
Presently, most of the outer court disciples looked at Hu Xue Feng with an expression of adoration.
Hu Xue Feng had become the center of attention.
"Not bad."
Even the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan, had an expression of admiration as he nodded to Hu Xue Feng.
Hu Xue Feng stood by Zheng Fan's side, and his eyes were suffused with a fierce gaze. Instantly, he found Duan Lingtian from the crowd of outer court disciples on the Mizar Platform, and his gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, and he met Hu Xue Feng's gaze without the slightest fear …
He was able to discern that the gaze Hu Xue Feng shot at him was filled with provocation and contempt.
It was as if Hu Xue Feng was certain that after he found out that the second round of the outer court martial competition was a life and death battle, Hu Xue Feng wouldn't dare participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, another figure flashed onto the combat ring and stood by Zheng Fan's side.
"Senior Brother Shi Hao!"
"As expected of the number one disciple in our Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court."
…
The crowd of outer court disciples on Mizar Platform were in an uproar once again.
The person that ascended the combat ring now was precisely Shi Hao!
Whoosh!
In the next moment, He Dong, the seventh level Origin Core Stage disciple of Megrez Peak, ascended the combat ring as well.
"Duan Lingtian, act according to your ability."
Zuo Qing said to Duan Lingtian, then her figure flashed out to follow He Dong and descend onto the combat ring.
In only a short moment, four people ascended the combat ring and stood by the side of the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan.
"The four strongest people in our Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court have all ascended the combat ring now!"
"The other seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples wouldn't be forfeiting as well, right?"
…
Amidst the clamorous voices of the crowd of outer court disciples on Mizar Platform, many outer court disciples successively ascended the combat ring.
These outer court disciples all had a common point.
They were all existences at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage!
In next to no time, so long as it was a seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple that had obtained the qualifications to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition, practically all ascended the combat ring and expressed their resolution.
Including Shi Hao, He Dong, Zuo Qing, and Hu Xue Feng, there were a total of 28 people.
"That Duan Lingtian wouldn't have been frightened and not dare participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition, right?"
Zhao Lin stood on Mizar Platform and easily noticed Duan Lingtian's location.
His heart jerked.
He'd thought of everything, yet he'd forgotten this …
Duan Lingtian could completely forfeit!
Once Duan Lingtian forfeited, everything he'd done in secret would be useless!
Could it be that he'd really have to draw water with a sieve this time?
He was unwilling!
Right when Zhao Lin was burning with anxiety.
"Duan Lingtian!"
On the combat ring, Shi Hao's voice was like a thunderclap.
A pair of triangular eyes flickered with a frightening sheen as they swept the Mizar Platform, seeming to be searching for something. "You wouldn't be cowardly to the point of not daring to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition, right?"
"Coward!"
