"Oh? Is that so? "
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly when he heard Liu Jian's words.
"Senior brother."
At this moment, a tall and sturdy young man dressed in blue with a determined expression on his face flew toward Liu Jian. "Are you looking for me?"
"Junior brother, this is your opponent today. He's Lord Xu Lang's youngest disciple, Duan Lingtian."
Liu Jian looked at Duan Lingtian and said to the newcomer.
Based on Liu Jian's words, it was obvious the newcomer was Duan Lingtian's opponent today, Huang Lunan.
Huang Lunan was ranked last among the ten prodigious disciples in the 200 to 300 years old age group.
If Duan Lingtian defeated him today, he would become a prodigious disciple. At that time, Huang Lunan would be pulled down from the ranks of the prodigious disciples.
Prodigious disciples had their own identity tokens. With that identity token, they could enter many places in the Heavenly Pool Palace that ordinary disciples could not enter.
Moreover, prodigious disciples were treated in a way that ordinary disciples were jealous of.
There were only 100 prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Since the Heavenly Pool Palace was a heaven-grade force, it was difficult to become a prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Liu Jian's words, Huang Lunan shifted his gaze to Duan Lingtian and asked indifferently, "I heard you defeated a senior brother who's a Six Combos Celestial Emperor and has comprehended four profundities from the law of fire to the mastery stage during the entrance exam? “
Huang Lu Nan asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently.
"You seem to know a lot about me."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"I hope you're as strong as you claim. Otherwise, I'll be very disappointed today." “
Huang Lunan shook his head and smiled. It was as though he did not feel pressured even if he knew Duan Lingtian was strong.
"It seems like you're very confident in your strength."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Not bad … I think I'm slightly stronger than you."
Huang Lunan smiled.
"Oh? Is that so? "
Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and revealed a noncommittal expression on his face.
"The elder of the Sword Trial Palace is here!"
While Huang Lunan and Liu Jianli were facing off against Duan Lingtian, Huan 'er, and Hong Fei, the voices of the Heavenly Pool Palace's disciples rang in the distance.
"It's still him."
Duan Ling Tian raised his head slightly. With just a glance, he recognized the Sword Trial Pavilion's elder who had helped him and Huan 'er register their names.
"Huang Lunan, Duan Lingtian … have you arrived?"
As soon as the Sword Trial Pavilion elder appeared above the stone tablet with the words' Prodigy Arena 'written on it, he asked calmly with his hands behind his back.
Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to contain some kind of special magic that clearly entered the ears of everyone present.
"Junior Brother, go on … I'd like to see why Lord Xu Lang would take a liking to this brat."
Liu Jian said to Huang Lunan.
Although Liu Jian and Huang Lunan were both disciples of a titled Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly Pool Palace, their titled Celestial Emperor was slightly weaker than Xu Lang.
In the past, Liu Jian had wanted to become Xu Lang's disciple, but Xu Lang had rejected him.
It was also because of this that he was very hostile towards Xu Lang's disciples who were not as strong as him.
Why did Xu Lang accept people weaker than him, but not him?
"Senior brother, just you wait … Today, I'll show him what it means to be a prodigious disciple!"
Huang Lunan sneered.
As soon as Huang Lunan finished speaking, he transformed into a ball of flames and flew up one of the Prodigy Arenas.
"Elder."
As soon as Huang Lunan entered the Prodigy Arena, he looked at the Sword Trial Pavilion elder and threw an identity token to him.
The identity token was the identity token of a prodigious disciple from the Heavenly Pool Palace.
The identity token of a prodigious disciple was not engraved with a name, but it could be used to establish ownership through a drop of blood.
After Huang Lunan removed the blood binding on the identity token, he threw it to the Sword Trial Pavilion elder.
Although the identity token was not engraved with a name, there were some words engraved on it.
For example, the words' 200 to 300 years old 'and' 10 'were carved on it. This identity token belonged to the tenth ranked prodigious disciple among the 200 to 300 years old prodigious disciples.
The prodigious disciples in each group would be given a different identity token.
If the prodigious disciple defeated the prodigious disciple in the same group, the prodigious disciple's identity token would be swapped.
Swoosh!
When Huang Lunan handed the identity token to the Sword Trial Pavilion elder, Duan Lingtian teleported to the Prodigy Arena where Huang Lunan was standing.
Upon seeing this, Huan 'er teleported to the Prodigy Arena as well. She looked at Duan Lingtian who was facing off against Huang Lunan.
"Sister-in-law, Huang Lunan is quite strong … What do you think is Little Junior Brother's chance of winning?"
Hong Fei asked with a smile on his face.
"It's impossible for Brother Ling Tian to lose."
Hong Fei was taken aback when he heard Huan 'er's simple and direct reply. Her reply was simple and straightforward.
Although Huan 'er had faith in Duan Lingtian, Hong Fei thought she was blindly trusting Duan Lingtian.
"Although teacher said Little Junior Brother has no problem becoming a prodigious disciple, his opponent is Liu Jian's junior brother, Huang Lunan."
Hong Fei could choose not to believe Huan 'er's words, but he had no choice but to believe Xu Lang's words. However, he was still puzzled.' Huang Lunan is capable of doing what Little Junior Brother did in the first round of selection as well.
Let's wait and see. As long as Little Junior Brother defeats Huang Lunan, he'll become a prodigious disciple. At that time, I'd like to see Liu Jian's expression turn ugly. '
As Hong Fei thought to himself, he turned to look at Liu Jian who had followed him to the Prodigy Arena.
"What? Hong Fei, you can't possibly think that this junior brother of yours is a match for my junior brother, right? "
Liu Jian asked mockingly when he saw the sneer on Hong Fei's face.
"Liu Jian, I hope you'll still be able to smile when the time comes."
Now, Hong Fei had no other choice but to believe in Duan Ling Tian. Not to mention anything else, just the imposing manner before the Liu Clan would absolutely not lose.
Meanwhile, more and more disciples from the Heavenly Pool Palace gathered around the arena.
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder who presided over the Prodigy Arena suddenly looked into the distance. His gaze attracted everyone's attention, causing them to look over as well.
"It's Lei Jun!"
"Senior Brother Lei Jun!"
"Senior Brother Lei Jun is ranked in the top three among the ten prodigies between the ages of 800 to 900. Not only is he a One Basic Celestial Emperor, but he has also comprehended seven profundities from the law of metal to the mastery stage!"
"Most importantly, Senior Brother Lei Jun is the only son of Lord Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, one of the nine titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace!"
…
Lei Jun was one of the most dazzling geniuses in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Not only was his strength outstanding, but his family background was also far beyond others' reach.
However, many people were puzzled.
Why was Lei Jun here?
Normally, Lei Jun would not be attracted by Duan Lingtian's challenge to Huang Lunan.
"Young Master."
The elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion greeted Lei Jun respectfully. Lei Jun's mother was the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion. Naturally, the elder did not dare to slight Lei Jun.
"Elder Qin, you don't have to worry about me."
As soon as Lei Jun finished speaking, he appeared next to Huan 'er and greeted her with a smile, "Third Junior Sister."
"Second Senior Brother."
Since Lei Jun had helped her many times in front of Linghu Yuan, Huan 'er had a good impression of him. Therefore, she nodded in response to Lei Jun's greeting.
"Third Junior Sister, I heard you issued a challenge to a prodigious disciple as well? When will your battle be? "
Lei Jun asked with a bright smile on his face.
"Seven days later."
Huan 'er replied.
However, this time, she did not look at Lei Jun. Her eyes were fixed on the purple-clad young man on the Prodigy Arena. It was as though the purple-clad young man was the only person in her eyes at this moment.
Lei Jun's expression darkened when he saw this. When he looked at the purple-clad young man on the Prodigy Arena, a hint of killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He had fallen in love with his Third Junior Sister as soon as he laid eyes on her.
Although she was wearing a veil on her face, it still made his heart beat faster … However, what made him jealous was that this third junior sister already had a man by her side.
Of course, even if he knew that his Third Junior Sister had a special liking for this man, he didn't really care. This was because he could see that his Third Junior Sister was still a virgin and had not had that kind of relationship with the man by her side.
For this reason, he felt he still had time.
Naturally, the prerequisite was for his Third Junior Sister to shift her attention away from the purple-clad young man, Duan Lingtian, to him.
"Duan Lingtian, there's no enmity between us … However, if you want to blame someone, blame it on me for liking you."
Killing intent surged in Lei Jun's heart as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"As it turns out, Senior Brother Lei Jun isn't here for the battle between Duan Lingtian and Huang Lunan. He's here for this woman."
"This is the first time I've seen Senior Brother Lei Jun treat a woman like this."
…
Many of the Heavenly Pool Palace's disciples could see Lei Jun's feelings for Huan 'er.
"Let's begin."
When the Sword Trial Pavilion elder's voice rang in the air, everyone's attention shifted from Lei Jun to Duan Lingtian and Huang Lunan.
"Duan Lingtian, right? I will let you know that you are overestimating yourself by challenging me! "
Huang Lunan sneered as he stared at Duan Lingtian.
"Make your move."
Duan Lingtian remained calm in the face of Huang Lunan's confidence. He said indifferently, "If you don't make your move, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to make your move."
