"Hm?"
Upon hearing Liu Jian's words, Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow and looked at the elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion.
The elder's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Liu Jian's words. When he saw Duan Lingtian looking at him, he said, "Indeed, it's as he said."
"If a prodigious disciple under the age of 900 wants to challenge the top three prodigious disciples in their age group, they only have to fulfill one condition. That is, they have to challenge a prodigious disciple of a higher age group."
The elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion said, "As long as they defeat the prodigious disciple, they'll have the opportunity to challenge any prodigious disciple in their age group. They can even challenge the top prodigious disciple.
Moreover, they can't refuse the challenge. "
The elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion glanced at Liu Jian and said, "As for the prodigious disciple who's defeated by a prodigious disciple of a lower age group, not only will he have to hand over his prodigious disciple token, but he'll also lose the opportunity to become a prodigious disciple for the next 100 years."
"This is because he can't issue an invitation to the Sword Trial Pavilion to challenge any prodigious disciple."
The elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion finished speaking.
"What do you think? Duan Lingtian, do you want to fight me? "
Liu Jian grinned from ear to ear.
"Little Junior Brother, ignore him!"
At this moment, Hong Fei's expression changed when he saw Duan Lingtian looking at Liu Jian. He hastily stopped Duan Lingtian as though he was afraid Duan Lingtian would really challenge Liu Jian.
"Duan Lingtian."
The elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Duan Lingtian will lose the opportunity to become a prodigious disciple for the next 100 years. For this reason, it doesn't matter if the prodigious disciple loses the opportunity to become a prodigious disciple.
Unless one of the prodigious disciples surrenders, the other party can't make a move. If the prodigious disciple fails to surrender before he dies, the prodigious disciple won't be held responsible even if he dies.
This is also a rule in the Heavenly Pool Palace. "
The elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion explained patiently.
"Regardless of life or death?"
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows, then looked at Liu Jian and asked meaningfully, "Why? You, Liu Jian … want to kill me? "
Liu Jian chuckled, "What? Do you dare to challenge me? "
As his voice faded, the corners of Liu Jian's mouth curled into a mocking smile.
"Little Junior Brother, since we have obtained the identity of a genius disciple, we can go back now."
Hong Fei said to Duan Lingtian. He was very worried that his junior brother would challenge Liu Jian in a fit of anger. Judging from the current situation, his junior brother was definitely a person with a temperament.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tortured Huang Lunan to such an extent just now.
"This Duan Lingtian …"
Lei Jun narrowed his eyes at Duan Lingtian. He couldn't help but wish that Duan Lingtian would challenge Liu Jian to a duel.
However, he also knew that this was not very realistic.
It was basically impossible for Duan Ling Tian to challenge Liu Jian because that would be akin to seeking death.
Liu Jian was a prodigious disciple between the ages of 600 and 700. He was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord, and he had comprehended six profundities from the law of metal to the mastery stage. His strength was not something his junior brother, Huang Lunan, could compare to.
"Third Junior Sister, I don't think your Brother Ling Tian dares to challenge Liu Jian."
Lei Jun looked at Huan 'er and said with a smile, "Although Liu Jian's strength is not bad, he's ranked at the bottom of the group of prodigies in his age group."
First, Lei Jun said Duan Lingtian did not dare to challenge Liu Jian. Then, he began to belittle Liu Jian.
Naturally, Lei Jun did not want to belittle Duan Lingtian directly. Instead, he wanted to use Liu Jian to belittle Duan Lingtian.
This was because he knew very well that if he directly belittled Duan Ling Tian, it would only make his Little Junior Sister feel disgusted, and she would gradually drift away from him.
However, she did not pay any attention to him.
She was no longer the same person she used to be. After experiencing the ways of the world, she had learned many things.
For example, how could she not understand Lei Jun's intention to use the Liu Clan to belittle Duan Lingtian?
It was precisely because Lei Jun had belittled Duan Ling Tian that she no longer wanted to talk to him even though he was the only son of her teacher, Lei Ying.
"Elder, if I challenge Liu Jian, does that mean I don't have to go through the registration process?"
Duan Lingtian asked the elder of the Sword Trial Pavilion.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, not only was the elder of the Sword Trial Pavilion stunned, but even the disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace were stunned.
Duan Lingtian really wanted to challenge Liu Jian?
Was he trying to court death?
"Can't Duan Lingtian see that Liu Jian is trying to provoke him? He's really going to challenge Liu Jian? "
"Is he out of his mind? Liu Jian is a prodigious disciple between the ages of 600 and 700. Moreover, he's an Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord who has comprehended six profundities from the law of metal to the mastery stage. How can Duan Lingtian defeat him? "
"In my opinion, he must have fallen for Liu Jian's provocation. In the heat of the moment, he decided to challenge Liu Jian."
…
The disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace shook their heads as they discussed among themselves. They looked at Duan Lingtian as though they were looking at a fool.
Liu Jian's eyes lit up. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would fall for his provocation.
Could it be that Duan Ling Tian couldn't see through his direct provocation?
"Little Junior Brother!"
Hong Fei's expression changed drastically. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would fall for his provocation. He quickly sent a Voice Transmission to dissuade Duan Lingtian.
"Sixth Senior Brother, don't worry."
Upon hearing Hong Fei's Voice Transmission, Duan Lingtian merely sent a Voice Transmission to reassure Hong Fei. He had no intention of changing his mind.
At this moment, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder glanced at Liu Jian and said, "If you agree, you don't have to go through the registration process."
"Elder Qin, I agree."
Liu Jian was afraid Duan Lingtian would go back on his word. He was the first to speak when the Sword Trial Pavilion elder turned to look at him.
"Duan Lingtian, let's see if you dare to challenge me or not."
After Liu Jian finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian with a disdainful grin on his face. He was clearly provoking Duan Lingtian.
"Elder, I'll challenge him."
Duan Lingtian said bluntly as he looked at the Sword Trial Pavilion elder.
"Duan Lingtian, you better think this through. Now that you've said this, you won't be able to escape if he removes the Identity Token and hands it over to me."
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder looked at Duan Lingtian and solemnly reminded him.
If it was an ordinary person, he would not have tried to persuade him. However, Duan Lingtian was not an ordinary person. He was Lei Ying's disciple, the Sword Trial Pavilion Master's disciple.
"I've thought it through."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Liu Jian took out his Identity Token and handed it over to the Sword Trial Pavilion elder after removing the Identity Token. "Elder Qin, since he's so confident, you should just let him be. If you insist on persuading him, he might be displeased. “
Liu Jian removed the Identity Token from his Identity Token and handed it over to the Sword Trial Pavilion elder. As long as he defeated Duan Lingtian, he would be able to retrieve his Identity Token.
However, if he lost, he would be stripped of his status as a prodigious disciple. Moreover, he would not be able to become a prodigious disciple for 100 years even if he was strong enough.
This was to prevent people from deliberately going easy on him.
After the Sword Trial Pavilion elder took Liu Jian's Identity Token, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Duan Lingtian, your battle with the Liu Clan is a battle of life and death. Naturally, you can choose to admit defeat. At that time, Liu Jian won't be able to continue attacking you. "
Whoosh!
After the Sword Trial Pavilion elder took Liu Jian's Identity Token, he flew toward one of the Prodigy Arenas in a streak of golden light and waited for Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, Liu Jian was no longer in a hurry. Since he had handed over his Identity Token, it was too late for Duan Lingtian to go back on his word.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian could also admit defeat now.
Although many people understood Duan Ling Tian's reason for admitting defeat, his reputation in the Heavenly Pool Palace would be tarnished. Many people would not allow such a thing to happen to his reputation.
There was a big difference between admitting defeat without a fight and admitting defeat at the last moment.
"Elder, does this mean he won't be punished if he kills me before I admit defeat? Even if I kill him before he admits defeat, he won't be punished, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked the Sword Trial Pavilion elder through Voice Transmission.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's question, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder was taken aback. After a while, he replied through Voice Transmission, "That's right!"
After replying to Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder's heart skipped a beat.
Why is Duan Lingtian asking me this?
Could it be that he intends to kill Liu Jian?
While the Sword Trial Pavilion elder was still puzzled, Duan Lingtian teleported and disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, he was standing opposite Liu Jian in the Prodigy Arena.
"Little Junior Brother!"
Hong Fei's expression changed drastically. He had been trying to persuade Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission, but Duan Lingtian had ignored him. Apart from replying to him in the beginning, Duan Lingtian had completely ignored him.
'Duan Lingtian … He actually agreed to it?'
Lei Jun's eyes widened slightly. However, his eyes shone brightly when he saw this. This was what he had been waiting for the most.
In his opinion, Duan Lingtian would definitely die if he fought Liu Jian.
'It seems like I don't even have to make a move myself … Liu Jian will be able to kill him for me.'
Lei Jun thought to himself.
However, he did not dare to show it on his face. He looked at Huan 'er and shook his head as he said, "Huan' er, your Brother Ling Tian is too impulsive … Didn't you try to persuade him?"
"Liu Jian is very strong. He might not be able to defeat Liu Jian."
However, Huan 'er did not respond to Lei Jun's words. It was as though she had completely ignored him. She continued to look at the purple figure on the Prodigy Arena as though he was the only person left in her world.
