"Su Li?"
Upon hearing the voice, even Duan Ling Tian could not help but turn around and look curiously into the distance.
Su Li was the prodigy of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. Before he entered the Formation Spirit Pagoda and ascended the Peak of Gravity again after eight years of closed-door cultivation, Su Li was ranked first in both places.
Most importantly, Su Li was not an ordinary person.
Duan Lingtian was very familiar with Su Li's name.
Back then, in his hometown in the Saint Region Realm, the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Iron Blood Genius Camp, the young man who became his best friend was also called Su Li.
Before he left the Crimson Sky Kingdom, Duan Lingtian had regarded Su Li as his best friend.
He had met Su Li a few times, but Su Li's growth had exceeded his expectations. After he ascended to the Devata Realms, he no longer heard about Su Li.
"He's Su Li? The new prodigy of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect who's even stronger than Yu Tian Xing? "
"Yu Tian Xing is a thing of the past. Su Li is the current number one prodigy in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect!"
"Su Li will lead a new era in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect!"
…
Everyone's eyes were trained on Su Li. Even Feng Qi Qi, the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Ancient Phoenix Clan, had a bright gleam in her eyes when she saw Su Li.
Upon seeing this, Baili Hong Fei frowned slightly. A hint of hostility could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Su Li.
"Su Li."
The other prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, including Yu Tian Xing, had mixed feelings when they saw Su Li. After all, Su Li had joined the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect later than them, and yet, he had surpassed them.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Su Li, Su Li also landed among the crowd. Finally, his gaze locked onto a purple figure.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian was also staring at Su Li.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under the gazes of everyone present, Su Li swooped down on his sword, whereas, Duan Ling Tian soared up into the sky and flashed swiftly towards Su Li.
Huan 'er was the only one who stood there with a confused look on her face.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Duan Lingtian and Su Li stood facing each other less than ten meters away from each other.
"W-what's going on?"
"Don't tell me the two most outstanding geniuses in the Genius Secret Realm are going to spar with each other?"
"Is there going to be a good show?"
…
All the geniuses present thought that Duan Lingtian and Su Li were standing opposite each other in a confrontation.
Only Huan 'er could clearly feel the joy in her Big Brother Duan Lingtian's heart when he left her.
It was as if the black-clothed young man made him overflow with joy from the bottom of his heart.
In the next moment, Duan Lingtian and Su Li's actions caused everyone to be dumbfounded.
Duan Lingtian and Su Li stepped into the air and hugged each other in the blink of an eye. Their hands were constantly patting each other's back as they revealed brilliant smiles on their faces.
Even the prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had never seen Su Li, the widely acknowledged cold-faced Sword Celestial, smile.
"They know each other?"
At this moment, seeing the scene before them, it was not difficult for the people present to guess this.
Perhaps, it was not as simple as just knowing each other.
Duan Lingtian and Su Li continued to pat each other's back as they hugged each other. They could feel the joy in each other's hearts.
At this moment, neither of them spoke a word.
Although they did not speak, they could understand each other's feelings. It had been too long since they last saw each other.
It had been about 200 years, right?
When they first met, they were only in their teens.
The last time they met, they were only a few decades old, not even 100 years old.
It could be said that this was the longest time they had been apart.
"Duan Lingtian, when I first saw your name on the Peak of Gravity Ranking, I wondered if it was you … However, after thinking about it, I didn't think it was possible."
After a long time, Duan Lingtian and Su Li finally parted ways.
"How dare you … I've been in closed-door cultivation for eight years. Although I've seen your name in the Formation Spirit Pagoda and the Peak of Gravity Rankings, I've only thought of you. I didn't even dare to think it was you."
Duan Lingtian shook his head with a bright smile on his face.
Although he and Su Li did not spend much time together, their friendship was unbreakable.
"It's mainly because you're too outstanding … Ever since we met in the Iron Blood Genius Camp in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, you've surprised me too much," Su Li said with a sigh.
Su Li sighed and said, "That's why I'm here today. I'm also thinking … maybe your achievements are still higher than mine."
"It seems like I'm right."
Although it was obvious Duan Lingtian was stronger than him, he was not jealous at all. Instead, he was happy for Duan Lingtian.
"I didn't expect you to come to a Devata Realm and become a prodigy of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Jade Emperor Heaven's Nan Dou Territory."
Duan Lingtian sighed.
"It's a long story … I'll tell you about it after we leave the Genius Secret Realm."
Su Li smiled.
"Alright."
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian noticed he and Su Li were the center of attention. He nodded at Su Li before he walked over to Huan 'er's side.
"Huan 'er, this is Su Li. He's a good friend of mine."
Duan Ling Tian walked up to Huan 'er and introduced her to Su Li with a smile on his face. He did not know why he was so eager to share his joy with Huan' er after reuniting with Su Li.
"You must be Miss Huan 'er, right? You're indeed as peerless as the rumors say. "
Su Li glanced at Huan 'er before he winked at Duan Lingtian, causing Duan Lingtian to glare at him.
"Big Brother Su Li."
Huan 'er greeted Su Li with a smile.
"Big Brother?"
Su Li was taken aback. Then, he said awkwardly, "Actually, I'm only slightly over 200 years old."
"What? Do you think I'm being taken advantage of by calling you big brother? "
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, "Huan 'er isn't even 200 years old yet."
Duan Lingtian, naturally, knew Su Li thought Huan 'er was older than him.
"Not even 200 years old?"
Duan Lingtian's words shocked Su Li and the other prodigies present on the scene. They did not expect there would be someone younger than Su Li among the prodigies who had entered the Genius Secret Realm.
Moreover, this young woman who was not even 200 years old had broken the 10,000 Elephants Illusory Formation's record.
"Senior Brother Su Li, are you acquainted with Duan Lingtian?"
At this moment, a young prodigy from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect stepped forward and asked curiously, "As far as I know, Senior Brother Su Li, ever since you came to the Jade Emperor Heaven with Senior Uncle Dugu, you've never left the sect.
This is your first time leaving the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect since the Genius Secret Realm opened. "
The young prodigy from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect was confused.
"Duan Lingtian is a good friend of mine from the mundane realm. “
Su Li smiled.
"Duan Lingtian, this is Senior Brother Gongsun Jing from the Yellow Thearch Progeny of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect."
At the same time, Su Li introduced the young prodigy from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect to Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian also greeted the young prodigy.
"Su Li, since you're acquainted with Duan Lingtian, why don't you bring him to the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect?"
Gongsun Jing said to Su Li after greeting Duan Lingtian warmly.
"Although Duan Lingtian is a good friend of mine, I respect his decision. Regardless of whether he chooses the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect or not, our friendship remains the same."
Su Li shook his head.
Initially, when Su Li had shown his close relationship with Duan Lingtian, the prodigies from the other grade-one forces thought they had no chance of winning.
However, when they heard Su Li's words, their eyes lit up again.
Apart from Gongsun Jing, the other prodigies from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, including Yu Tian Xing, frowned slightly upon hearing Su Li's words.
In their opinion, since Su Li was close to Duan Lingtian, it was almost certain that Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er would join the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
They did not expect Su Li to have no intention of inviting Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er to join the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
"Su Li."
Yu Tian Xing stepped forward and looked at Su Li before he said in a deep voice, "Even if Senior Uncle Duan Lingtian is here, he would definitely want you to invite Duan Lingtian to join the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect."
Su Li glanced at Yu Tian Xing indifferently. "Yu Tian Xing, I know what you're thinking … However, I believe the Progeny Leader will respect my decision."
The Progeny Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect's Shadow Support Progeny was Dugu Zui. He was the one who brought Su Li to the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect from the Jade Emperor Heaven.
The Senior Uncle Dugu that Yu Tian Xing and Gongsun Jing were referring to was Dugu Zui.
"You …"
Yu Tian Xing, naturally, knew Su Li was telling the truth. The Progeny Leader of the Shadow Support Progeny treated Su Li like a treasure. How could he be displeased with Su Li?
"Su Li, the Sect Leader treats you well, right? It's your duty to recruit talents for the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, right? "
When Yu Tian Xing saw it was useless to bring up Dugu Zui, he brought up his uncle, Yu Jian Cheng, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
Ever since Su Li joined the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, Yu Jian Cheng, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, had taken good care of Su Li.
Upon hearing Yu Tian Xing's words, Su Li frowned slightly. Then, he glanced at Duan Lingtian and did not look at Yu Tian Xing.
"Su Li, Huan 'er and I will join the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile.
"Duan Lingtian, there's no need for you to …"
Su Li thought Duan Lingtian had decided to join the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect because of him. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Duan Lingtian. "Huan 'er and I originally planned to join a grade-one force. Since you're in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, we'll join in the fun."
Duan Lingtian was telling the truth.
Why did he want to enter the Genius Secret Realm? He wanted to join one of the three grade-one forces, the Ancient Phoenix Clan, the Baili Clan, and the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
Among the three grade-one forces, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect was undoubtedly his first choice.
