"How arrogant!"
Huang Lu Nan was completely enraged by Duan Ling Tian's words. Flames rose from his body as though he had transformed into a flaming man.
Huang Lu Nan had comprehended the law of fire.
Moreover, his cultivation base had already broken through to the level of a Six Combos Celestial Lord, and he had also comprehended five profundities from the law of fire to the mastery stage. For this reason, he was confident he could do what Duan Lingtian had done in the first round of the new disciples' assessment.
"Duan Lingtian, today, I'll let you know that a prodigious disciple's dignity is not to be trifled with!"
Huang Lu Nan said coldly as he transformed into a ball of flames and shot out, leaving behind a scorching aura in the air. Even the disciples from the Heavenly Pool Palace who were standing far away could feel the heat from Huang Lu Nan's energy.
"Although Huang Lu Nan is ranked tenth among the prodigious disciples between the age of 200 and 300, his strength is not far from the top few prodigious disciples."
"That's right! Huang Lu Nan has not always been ranked tenth. In the past, he was ranked sixth at most. "
"Huang Lu Nan is still very strong. It's going to be difficult for Duan Lingtian to become a prodigious disciple. "
…
Many disciples from the Heavenly Pool Palace whispered among themselves as Huang Lu Nan made his move.
However, in the next moment, the expressions on their faces completely froze.
Whoosh!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, when Huang Lu Nan approached Duan Ling Tian, it was as though he had bumped into something in the air. His entire body came to a halt as he tried to move forward with all his might. However, he was completely helpless.
Then, he tried to move in another direction, but it was to no avail.
"Humph! Do you think you can restrain me with your Spatial Shackles? "
Huang Lu Nan sneered as he looked at Duan Ling Tian from afar. It was obvious he could tell Duan Ling Tian had cast the law of space's Restraining Profundity to imprison him in a void, preventing him from leaving.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Accompanied by a series of loud booms, violent flames swept out from Huang Lunan's body, constantly attacking the spatial prison that imprisoned him.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Huang Lunan's entire body was engulfed in flames. The flames took the shape of a cube, and its surface was constantly trembling, as if it could erupt at any moment.
"Duan Lingtian's Spatial Shackles can actually withstand Huang Lunan's attacks for so long?"
"No wonder this Duan Lingtian dares to challenge a genius disciple. It seems like he does have some skills."
"However, judging from the current situation, it won't be difficult for Huang Lunan to break free from his shackles. It's only a matter of time."
…
Just as everyone was whispering, Huang Lunan finally broke free from Duan Lingtian's Spatial Shackles, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
However, the smile on his face quickly froze.
The moment he discovered that Duan Lingtian had disappeared from where he stood, his expression changed drastically. Then, the flames on his body burned even more fiercely, as if they were going to burn everything. There was nothing more intense than a raging inferno.
Specks of flames rose into the air and transformed into roaring fire dragons.
These fire dragons were mainly aimed at the people behind him.
"Is that all you've got?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Duan Lingtian teleported behind Huang Lunan. He struck out with his palm, and the terrifying Spatial Energy wreaked havoc. It shrouded the roaring fire dragons and turned them into ashes.
Bang!
After the fire dragons were annihilated, a loud noise reverberated in the air. Huang Lunan was sent flying by Duan Lingtian's palm. He looked slightly wretched.
When he finally managed to stabilize himself, Duan Lingtian teleported again and appeared next to him.
Bang!
Duan Lingtian sent Huang Lunan flying again with a kick.
Whoosh!
With another teleportation, Duan Lingtian appeared above Huang Lunan who was sent flying. He raised his hand and struck again, dispersing the Celestial Origin Energy that Huang Lunan did not have time to gather.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Although Huang Lunan tried to resist, every time he tried to gather the Celestial Origin Energy in his body, Duan Lingtian would appear next to him and attack him.
Duan Lingtian's speed of gathering Celestial Origin Energy was much faster than Huang Lunan's. This made Huang Lunan feel helpless.
"How can this be?"
Huang Lunan was filled with resentment.
He did not expect Duan Lingtian to have 99 Heavenly Veins. In terms of gathering Celestial Origin Energy, only someone with 99 Heavenly Veins could compare to Duan Lingtian.
"What … What's going on?"
"Huang Lunan is being completely dominated by Duan Lingtian?"
"That's impossible … How can he not be able to fight back at all? Is he giving in to Duan Lingtian? "
"Is this an inside job?"
…
The Heavenly Pool Palace's disciples could not understand Huang Lunan's predicament. In their opinion, Huang Lunan was deliberately giving in to Duan Lingtian.
"No … If he wants to give in to Duan Lingtian, why can't he just pretend that he's defeated?"
"I think so as well. If he really wants to give in to Duan Lingtian, there's no need for him to keep pretending, right?"
…
The Heavenly Pool Palace's disciples shuddered when they saw Huang Lunan's predicament. If they were in Huang Lunan's shoes, they would have admitted defeat a long time ago.
"Hahaha!"
Hong Fei laughed mockingly. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Liu Jian who was standing nearby and said with a smile, "Liu Jian, it seems like your junior brother isn't good enough … Tsk tsk, he doesn't even recognize my Little Junior Brother. He's really tenacious.
In my opinion, we should just change his name to Huang Xiao Qiang. What do you think? "
At this moment, Hong Fei had a smug expression on his face.
Upon hearing Hong Fei's words, Liu Jian's expression darkened when he saw Huang Lunan being tortured by Duan Lingtian. Then, he shouted, "Enough!"
However, no one paid any attention to him.
Since Huang Lunan did not admit defeat, Duan Lingtian continued to torture Huang Lunan.
In fact, it was not that Duan Lingtian wanted to torture Huang Lunan. It was just that after a few rounds, he discovered he was able to cast the profundities from the law of space more smoothly. It was as though he was a baby who had just learned how to speak.
"This feels good!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt extremely carefree. For this reason, he was not in a hurry to severely injure Huang Lunan. Instead, he only inflicted some minor injuries on Huang Lunan.
Ever since he had comprehended all the profundities from the law of space to the mastery stage, he had never been able to attack as freely as he did today. At this moment, he felt extremely comfortable.
However, compared to Duan Lingtian's comfort, Huang Lunan felt as though he was in an abyss of suffering.
If he had been severely injured, he would have admitted defeat long ago.
It was precisely because he discovered every time Duan Lingtian attacked him, he only felt intense pain and did not suffer any substantial injuries that he did not admit defeat.
Presently, Duan Ling Tian had completely occupied the initiative and was suppressing him.
He really wanted to turn the situation around. Even if it was only for a moment, he would still be willing to throw in a punch at Duan Lingtian and admit defeat.
However, as time passed, Huang Lunan finally lost all hope. Moreover, Liu Jian kept urging him to admit defeat through Voice Transmission. He had no choice but to admit defeat. "I admit defeat!"
"You're admitting defeat just like that?"
When Duan Ling Tian saw Huang Lu Nan admitting defeat, he frowned as though he wanted to continue.
"Duan Lingtian, from today onward, you're ranked tenth among the prodigious disciples between the age of 200 to 300 years old."
The Sword Trial Pavilion's elder raised his hand and handed Huang Lu Nan's identity token to Duan Ling Tian before he announced in a clear voice.
Then, he reminded Duan Lingtian to drip his blood on the token to claim ownership of the token.
"Alright."
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian performed the Blood Ownership Claim on the Identity Token in his hand.
The Heavenly Pool Palace's disciples were not surprised by this outcome. After all, they had expected this outcome when they saw Duan Lingtian beating up Huang Lunan earlier.
Meanwhile, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder was preparing to leave.
After all, both of them were disciples of Lei Ying, the Sword Trial Pavilion's Pavilion Master. Moreover, Lei Jun was the only son of the Pavilion Master in their time.
"Elder!"
Duan Lingtian called out to the Sword Trial Pavilion elder just as he was about to leave.
"Hm?"
Since the Sword Trial Pavilion elder knew Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were close, he was polite to Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, is there anything else?"
"Elder, now that I've obtained this identity token, I've replaced Huang Lunan as a prodigious disciple. I'm currently ranked tenth among the prodigious disciples between the age of 200 to 300 years old. If I want to be ranked higher, can I challenge someone who's ranked higher?"
Duan Lingtian asked without beating around the bush.
"If you challenge someone who's ranked higher than you, you can only challenge someone who's not ranked in the top three. Even if you're ranked fifth, you can't challenge someone who's ranked third," the Sword Trial Pavilion elder said.
"Currently, you can only challenge someone who's ranked fourth among the prodigious disciples between the age of 200 to 300 years old.
You'll only be qualified to challenge someone who's ranked third if you defeat the person who's ranked fourth. "
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder replied.
"Is there no other way?"
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly. He did not want to go through so much trouble. After all, he only managed to rank first among the prodigious disciples between the age of 200 to 300 years old after fighting so many prodigious disciples.
Once he reached the top, his status in the Heavenly Pool Palace would be greatly elevated.
At that time, it would be much easier for him to find Huan 'er's parents.
"What? Duan Lingtian, are you trying to challenge someone who's ranked in the top three? “
Naturally, it's not impossible for you to challenge someone who's ranked in the top three … "Liu Jian, who was about to leave with Huang Lunan, sneered when he heard Duan Lingtian's question.
"You can challenge me if you want. As long as you can defeat me, you can even challenge someone who's ranked first among the prodigious disciples, let alone the top three."
A mocking smile appeared on Liu Jian's face when he reached the end of his sentence.
