Zheng Fan smiled mysteriously when he heard his son's question. "What do you think is still worthy of me laughing heartily now?"
"Father, just speak frankly."
Zheng Song laughed bitterly, how could he have guessed?
"I've broken through."
Zheng Fan spoke slowly with a calm tone.
However, it caused Zheng Song to be stunned on the spot, and he only recovered from his shock after a short while, then stared blankly. "Father … You … You said you've broken through?"
Zheng Song looked at Zheng Fan with an expression of pleasant surprise and disbelief.
"Yes."
Zheng Fan lightly smiled as he nodded. "It's all thanks to Duan Lingtian."
"Duan Lingtian?"
Zheng Song was slightly bewildered. "He's an outer court disciple, what can he do to help Father … Father, are you mistaken?"
"This isn't related to whether he's an outer court disciple or not."
Zheng Fan shook his head. "Today, even if the Sect Leader arrived personally, he might not be able to help me break through. All in all, if it wasn't for Duan Lingtian, I'm afraid I would still need a very long time to break through … I owe him a great favor. "
Zheng Song gasped, it was truly difficult for him to imagine how an outer court disciple actually helped his father break through.
In next to no time, under his pursuit, Zheng Fan spoke of the sequence of events.
Zheng Song came to a sudden understanding.
"Duan Lingtian."
Zheng Song was filled with gratitude towards Duan Lingtian in his heart.
He was extremely clear about how many years his father had stayed at the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage …
Today, if it wasn't for Duan Lingtian enlightening his father, even after a few more years, his father might not be able to smoothly break through to the Void Initiation Stage!
This was indeed a great favor.
Duan Lingtian and Lu Qiu continued to walk along the main peak, Dubhe Peak, up the mountain path.
Megrez Hall was above.
"Elder Lu Qiu, when is the Seven Star Sword Sect's inner court disciple test usually held?"
On the way, Duan Lingtian recalled the reason he left the stalactite cave today, and he asked Lu Qiu who was by his side.
"The inner court disciple test is held once every half a year, and it's usually one month after the outer court disciple test … Today just happens to be the day of the outer court disciple test. Therefore, there is only one month left until the inner disciple examination. "
Lu Qiu said slowly.
Now, Lu Qiu, who'd seen Duan Lingtian's cultivation at the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, wasn't surprised that Duan Lingtian asked about the inner court disciple test.
In his opinion.
With Duan Lingtian's current strength, passing the Inner Disciple Trial would be a piece of cake.
Once an outer court disciple broke through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, passing the inner court disciple test would be a cinch.
"A month later?"
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then asked, "Elder Lu Qiu, is there a need to register for the Inner Court Disciple Test?"
Lu Qiu shook his head. "There's no need. On the day of the inner court disciple test, you can directly head to the Dubhe Peak's Test Platform."
"Examination platform?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. He wasn't familiar with the main peak, Dubhe Peak.
"The assessment platform is the vast platform where you participated in the outer sect disciple assessment half a year ago."
Lu Qiu patiently explained without the slightest impatience.
In his eyes, the current Duan Lingtian had a boundless future.
In the future, if he were to stay in the Seven Star Sword Sect, he would surely be a pillar of the Seven Star Sword Sect, and becoming the next Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect wasn't impossible.
If he were to leave the Seven Star Sword Sect, he would surely be a great figure whose name shook the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
According to his knowledge, in the history of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, there seemed to have never been a figure that could compare with Duan Lingtian in terms of natural talent in the Martial Dao.
He believed that once Duan Lingtian matured, the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom might not be able to accommodate Duan Lingtian.
"So that's the examination platform."
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding. He clearly remembered that vast platform. After all, it was the place he participated in the outer court disciple test that day.
Not long after, Duan Lingtian and Lu Qiu finally arrived at the location of the Megrez Hall.
The Megrez Hall was similarly situated on a vast platform halfway up Dubhe Peak, and it had a vast aura.
Duan Lingtian and Lu Qiu walked forward in large strides to stand side by side outside the Megrez Hall.
"Hall Master, Lu Qiu has brought along Duan Lingtian to seek an audience."
Lu Qiu stood before the Megrez Hall and spoke in a loud voice, and his voice contained Origin Energy that extended and spread out to envelop the entire Megrez Hall.
In next to no time, a young man around the age of 26 or 27 with a thin figure and slight gloominess mixed between his brows walked out from within the Megrez Hall. His pair of sharp eyes squinted as he looked at Lu Qiu and Duan Lingtian who were outside. "Master asked the two of you to go in."
This young man's voice was hoarse and low, causing others to feel extremely uncomfortable when they heard it.
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but frown.
"He's the foster son of our Megrez Peak's Master, Wu Yong Qian."
Lu Qiu's voice transmission entered into Duan Lingtian's ears.
Duan Lingtian nodded, then walked forward shoulder to shoulder with Lu Qiu, and under Wu Yong Qian's lead, they walked into the Megrez Hall.
As soon as they entered the Megrez Hall, Duan Lingtian saw the middle aged man standing within.
This middle aged man's age was similar to the Mizar Peak's Master, Zheng Fan, and his appearance was extremely ordinary, and belonged to the type of person that couldn't be found in a crowd …
Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force was able to vaguely detect that this middle aged man's cultivation ought to be comparable to Zheng Fan before he broke through.
Ninth level of the Void Prying Stage!
"He ought to be the Peak Master of Megrez Peak."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
Although he hadn't seen the Peak Master of Megrez Peak, but as a disciple of Megrez Peak, he'd still heard of him …
The Peak Master of Megrez Peak was called Wu Dao!
"Foster Father, they've come."
As expected, after Wu Yong Qian brought Duan Lingtian and Lu Qiu in, he bowed and reported to the Peak Master of Megrez Peak, Wu Dao, and his hoarse and low voice was filled with reverence.
Subsequently, Wu Yong Qian stood behind Wu Dao.
"Peak Master."
Lu Qiu respectfully bowed to Wu Dao.
"Peak Master."
Duan Lingtian nodded to Wu Dao as well.
If it was an ordinary time, Duan Lingtian acting like this by himself, perhaps no one would pay attention to it.
But now, Duan Lingtian's attitude towards Wu Dao was a clear contrast when compared to Lu Qiu …
Wu Dao's brows slightly frowned, and he was slightly displeased.
"Presumptuous!"
Wu Yong Qian, who stood behind Wu Dao, had a pair of fierce eyes that were suffused with a frightening sheen as he looked at Duan Lingtian and shouted out coldly.
However, Duan Lingtian instead paid no attention to Wu Yong Qian, and instead looked at Wu Dao with a carefree expression, as if his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Wu Yong Qian's face sank when he saw Duan Lingtian actually dared to disregard him, and his eyes flickered with gloomy cold lights that were waiting to swallow Duan Lingtian up.
Lu Qiu stood by Duan Lingtian's side, and now he broke out in cold sweat for Duan Lingtian as well.
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
Wu Dao's brows eased up, and his eyes were instantly suffused with a wisp of coldness as he stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian.
At the same time, a formidable imposing aura gushed out from Wu Dao's body, and it pressed down onto Duan Lingtian …
The imposing aura of a ninth level Void Prying Stage expert!
But, when faced with Wu Dao's formidable imposing aura, Duan Lingtian instead seemed to not feel anything, and he stood on the spot with an unchanged expression, not moving like a mountain.
The imposing aura on Wu Dao's body ceaselessly rose.
Duan Lingtian's expression still didn't change, and the corners of his mouth even curled into a wisp of a smile.
It was a composed smile.
"What a Duan Lingtian!"
Finally, Wu Dao's imposing aura was completely restrained by him, and he laughed loudly, and the displeasure from before vanished without a trace. "As expected of an existence that's able to kill the number one disciple in the outer court, Shi Hao. Duan Lingtian, now, you fully deserve the title of number one disciple in the Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court! "
Duan Lingtian didn't mind Wu Dao's sudden change in attitude, and he nodded. "Thank you for your praise, Peak Master."
Wu Yong Qian, who was behind Wu Dao, had an additional sheen of jealousy and viciousness appear in his cold eyes when he heard Wu Dao praise Duan Lingtian …
He was Wu Dao's foster son.
But since he was young, he'd never heard Wu Dao praise him like this.
"Neither servile nor overbearing, he's a rare talent."
Wu Dao looked at Duan Lingtian and nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Duan Lingtian, you killed Shi Hao this time and seized the first place in the outer court martial competition, bringing honor to our Megrez Peak … You said you want a reward?"
Reward?
Duan Lingtian frowned.
Wu Dao's words were filled with a condescending tone, as if a person in a higher position was speaking to a person in a lower position.
This caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Peak Master, I'm a member of Megrez Peak as well. Before leaving Megrez Peak, doing some things for Megrez Peak is something I ought to do."
Duan Lingtian spoke indifferently, and was slightly dispirited.
"Leave Megrez Peak?"
Wu Dao was first stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian, then he recovered from his shock and nodded. "I almost forgot, you obtained the first place in the outer court martial competition this time and obtained a Profound Origin Fruit … If nothing unexpected happens, you ought to be at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage now."
Seventh level of the Origin Core Stage?
The corners of the mouth of the nearby Lu Qiu twitched.
He felt that Wu Dao had truly underestimated Duan Lingtian too much.
"With your ability, stepping into the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage and wanting to pass the inner court disciple test isn't difficult."
Wu Dao looked at Duan Lingtian and pondered for a short moment, then his eyes were suffused with a burning flowing light as he stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, do you know why I asked Lu Qiu to get you here?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "Peak Master, please tell me."
"Duan Lingtian, I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll be frank …"
At the same time that Wu Dao spoke, not only Duan Lingtian and Lu Qiu, even Wu Yong Qian who stood behind Wu Dao looked at Wu Dao together.
Finally, Wu Dao caught his breath and said with a clear voice. "I, Wu Dao, the Peak Master of Megrez Peak, desire to take you, Duan Lingtian, as my personal disciple!"
Whoosh!
As soon as Wu Dao said this, the three people including Duan Lingtian were stunned for a moment.
Duan Lingtian was speechless.
When did he become so popular?
Duan Lingtian reacted to Wu Dao's words and shook his head. "Peak Master, I'm sorry, I temporarily don't have any plans to take you as my master."
He'd even refused Zheng Fan who'd broken through to the Void Initiation Stage now, let alone this Wu Dao.
"Presumptuous!"
When Wu Yong Qian who was behind Wu Dao heard that his foster father wanted to take Duan Lingtian as his personal disciple, the flames of jealousy that filled his heart almost caused his chest to explode …
