Why would he have such confidence?
Duan Lingtian only smiled when he heard He Dong, and didn't explain further.
He believed.
In next to no time, He Dong would know the answer.
A trace of astonishment flashed within Zuo Qing's beautiful eyes when she heard He Dong, and she seriously sized up Duan Lingtian for a moment before nodding in the end, and she didn't persuade Duan Lingtian any further.
She was able to discern that Duan Lingtian was indeed filled with confidence.
Strong confidence!
She thought in her heart.
Perhaps, this man of Junior Sister would once again bring about a miracle and cause everyone to be shocked …
In next to no time, all the outer court disciples that were participating in the second round of the outer court martial competition had drawn a lot that belonged to them.
"Now, all 29 of you have already drawn a lot that belongs to you."
Meanwhile, the Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan, slowly said, "Now, the people that have obtained lot number two and number three, go to the first combat ring; the people that have obtained lot number four and number five, go to the second combat ring … So on and so forth until lot number 19, all of you can go to the first combat ring."
There was a total of 10 combat rings on Mizar Platform.
Now, besides the combat arena at the center that was empty, there were two more figures on each of the other nine combat arenas …
The nine Mizar Peak outer court elders successively went over to preside over the competition.
"Senior Sister Zuo Qing."
Duan Lingtian stood on the empty combat ring at the center of Mizar Platform, and looked at the beautiful figure on the fourth combat ring from afar.
Right at this moment.
"I admit defeat!"
Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded out, breaking the short moment of silence on Mizar Platform.
A person on the seventh combat ring admitted defeat.
For a time, everyone on Mizar Platform looked at the person that admitted defeat.
"Senior Brother Shi Hao admitted defeat?"
The crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples stared blankly at Shi Hao leaving the seventh combat ring, and all of them had expressions of disbelief.
They wouldn't find it strange if someone else admitted defeat.
But the person that admitted defeat now was Shi Hao!
The number one disciple in the Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court!
"Why did Senior Brother Shi Hao admit defeat? It's too strange. "
Some of the Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples had bewildered expressions, as they utterly didn't know what had happened and were unable to understand everything before their eyes.
"You don't know, do you? Let me tell you, the reason Senior Brother Shi Hao admitted defeat now is for the sake of the following challenges …. If I'm not wrong, he surely wants to challenge Duan Lingtian! "
"Challenge Duan Lingtian? Why? "
"Because he wanted to kill Duan Lingtian!"
"How do you know?"
"I'm a Megrez Peak disciple. Senior Brother Shi Hao had gone to our Megrez Peak three months ago and threatened to battle Duan Lingtian on the life and death arena … But unfortunately, Duan Lingtian had always been hiding, and Senior Brother Shi Hao was utterly unable to find an opportunity. Now that he has a chance, do you think he will miss it? "
"So that's how it is … But, how did Senior Shi Hao become enemies with Duan Lingtian?"
"I didn't know this at the beginning, but after I inquired about it repeatedly, I found out that Duan Lingtian actually crippled the Dantian of Senior Brother Shi Hao's younger sister, Shi Yan … Who in our Seven Star Sword Sect outer court doesn't know how much Senior Brother Shi Hao dotes on his younger sister, Shi Yan? Tell me, how could he not take revenge for Shi Yan? "
"Duan Lingtian crippled Shi Yan's Dantian?"
…
The conversation between the two Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples quickly spread out.
Not long after, so long as it was someone that stood on Mizar Platform, practically everyone knew everything.
Duan Lingtian crippled the Dantian of Shi Hao's younger sister, Shi Yan ….
Shi Hao hated Duan Lingtian to the bone and wanted to kill Duan Lingtian!
"Duan Lingtian, you …."
He Dong, who stood by Duan Lingtian's side, had an astonished expression. Although he knew that Shi Hao wanted to look for trouble with Duan Lingtian, he didn't know that there was such a reason behind it.
Duan Lingtian shrugged and smiled indifferently. "Are you very surprised?"
He Dong nodded. "I'm indeed rather surprised. Who in our Seven Star Sword Sect outer court doesn't know that Shi Hao is extremely obedient and dotes on his younger sister … .But you instead directly crippled her Dantian! It would be strange if Shi Hao didn't fight you to the death. "
"But, you don't look like an unreasonable person to me, so why did you cripple Shi Yan's Dantian?"
He Dong looked at Duan Lingtian with a bewildered expression.
"Actually, it's nothing. Shi Yan first humiliated my woman for no reason or rhyme, then repeatedly said that she wanted to cripple my Dantian and even put it into action … .I could only give her a taste of her own medicine. "
Duan Lingtian spoke extremely casually, as if what he said didn't matter at all.
He Dong came to a sudden understanding. "I've long since heard that Shi Yan relied on Shi Hao's influence to act unruly and rampantly on Alkaid Peak … .She can only consider herself to be unlucky this time when she bullied you."
The conversation between the two wasn't loud, but it was still heard by the nearby Peak Master of Mizar Peak, Zheng Fan.
The corners of Zheng Fan's mouth slightly curled.
This Duan Lingtian has a true nature.
But, his courage isn't small.
Is he really not afraid of suffering Shi Hao's revenge?
Now that Shi Hao had admitted defeat, it was obviously aimed at him.
Shi Hao returned, and the gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian was filled with ruthlessness and viciousness ….
"Shi Hao, he's mine."
Hu Xue Feng looked at Shi Hao, his eyes emitted cold lights, and his tone was filled with overbearingness.
"Hmph!"
Shi Hao glanced coldly and indifferently at Hu Xue Feng and paid no attention to him, as if he utterly didn't take Hu Xue Feng seriously.
Hu Xue Feng's face sank, a fierce light flickered within his eyes, and he was ruthless in his heart. "Shi Hao, besides killing Duan Lingtian today, I'll kill you as well … After today, I'll replace you to become the number one disciple in the Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court!"
Meanwhile, the other eight combat rings had unfolded a fierce struggle between two evenly matched opponents.
"So strong."
Duan Lingtian clearly saw that on the fourth combat ring, Zuo Qing's figure flashed, dodging the fierce sword strike of her opponent, and the sword images in her hand enveloped down, seeming to have transformed into a rain of flowers that covered the sky, forcing her opponent to retreat.
From the beginning until the end, she didn't injure her opponent in the slightest.
"Thank you for showing mercy."
The person that was forced to retreat was a seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple, and his forehead was still covered in cold sweat as he directly admitted defeat and walked down from the fourth combat ring.
Zuo Qing, victory, advancement!
In next to no time, the results of the battles on the other combat rings were finally out.
Another seven people advanced successively.
Only a few people were injured, and no one was killed.
Although the outer court martial competition this time didn't care about life and death, in the eyes of the outer court disciples that entered the arena, their opponents were fellow disciples of the same sect after all, and there was no enmity between them, so there was no need to really fight to the death.
"It's still the order from before … The remaining 10 outer court disciples, go!"
The Mizar Peak's Master, Zheng Fan, slowly said.
"Duan Lingtian, I'm going."
He Dong bid his farewells to Duan Lingtian, then ascended the distant combat ring.
"I admit defeat!"
This time, another person admitted defeat.
Hu Xue Feng!
Because they had Shi Hao as an example, although the crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect disciples were slightly surprised when faced with Hu Xue Feng admitting defeat, it wasn't as exaggerated as when Shi Hao admitted defeat earlier.
"Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng admitted defeat? Could it be that it's because of Duan Lingtian as well? "
"This Duan Lingtian first offended Senior Brother Shi Hao, and now he's offended Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng … Today, unless he takes the initiative to admit defeat, otherwise, he'll surely die!"
…
Some of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples glanced at Duan Lingtian and couldn't help but shake their heads.
In next to no time, the outcome of the other eight people was decided.
He Dong, victorious!
The outer court martial competition continued.
Besides Duan Lingtian and the 14 people that were eliminated, the other 14 people started the second round of competition …
This time, the seven people that won would be tied with Duan Lingtian and temporarily be ranked in the top 10.
The battles began!
On the seven combat rings, sword images crisscrossed.
Including Zuo Qing and He Dong, every seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple revealed everything they'd learned in their lifetime to their heart's content, sword skills that dazzled the eyes whistled out and penetrated every opening.
Along with the passage of time, the curtains to the battles on the seven combat rings were drawn.
Zuo Qing and He Dong advanced!
They were temporarily ranked in the top 10 along with the other five seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples.
The seven people that were eliminated once again drew lots.
The person that drew lot number 1 was temporarily ranked in the top 10.
The strongest person from the other six people would occupy the last position in the top 10.
Henceforth, the 10 people that were temporarily ranked in the top 10 had been decided.
Duan Lingtian, Zuo Qing, and He Dong were shockingly amongst them.
"Very good … Presently, the 10 people that are temporarily ranked in the top 10 have already been decided. Next, it's time to carry out free challenges! The other 19 outer court disciples can challenge any one of the people that are temporarily ranked in the top 10 at will. "
"If you defeat your opponent, you can replace them! Conversely, if you lose, you'll lose the qualifications to challenge. "
"Everyone only has one chance to challenge. I hope all of you choose carefully. "
The Mizar Peak's Master, Zheng Fan, spoke out in a clear voice. "Now, the remaining 19 people will choose their opponents in order according to the lot number in their hands …"
Hu Xue Feng's face sank when he heard Zheng Fan, and his icy cold gaze descended onto the lot number in his hand.
His lot number was' Lot Number 25 '.
According to the rules Zheng Fan spoke of.
He had to wait for the people in front to finish choosing before he could choose his opponent …
It was fine if it was someone else.
However, Shi Hao was still in front of him!
The first person to choose his opponent was the possessor of lot number 2, an outer court male disciple.
His gaze flashed past Duan Lingtian's group of 10 before finally descending onto Duan Lingtian. He searched back and forth, and only Duan Lingtian he had the confidence to defeat.
"Hmph!"
However, when a cold snort sounded out by his ears, he instead noticed that Shi Hao's cold and indifferent gaze had descended onto him, causing him to feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Only now did he recall that the reason Shi Hao admitted defeat earlier was because of this Duan Lingtian …
He took a deep breath. In the end, he still didn't choose Duan Lingtian.
He didn't dare offend Shi Hao!
He could only choose another person.
The result also caused him to be defeated and lose the qualifications to compete for the top 10 of the outer court martial competition.
Duan Lingtian watched all of this coldly from the sidelines.
He knew that his first battle today was bound to be against Shi Hao!
Just as he'd said to He Dong earlier.
What should come will come …
