Coward!
As the personal disciple of the Merak Peak's Peak Master, how could the arrogant Hu Xue Feng possibly admit that he was a coward …
But now that he realized the strong confidence emitted from Duan Lingtian, he didn't dare accept the challenge.
He could only maintain his silence.
The gazes that were like blades from the surroundings contained traces of ridicule, and he naturally noticed it. His heart was filled with humiliation and resentment.
Duan Lingtian!
At this moment, the resentment Hu Xue Feng had towards Duan Lingtian in his heart had practically reached an extreme.
If he was given the chance, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to kill Duan Lingtian, and even burn his bones and scatter his ashes!
"Coward!"
Seeing Hu Xue Feng's gloomy face and not daring to reply for a long time, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a trace of disdain as he coldly grunted.
He and Hu Xue Feng originally didn't have any relationship.
But this Hu Xue Feng actually wanted to take his life during the outer court martial competition …
Today, Hu Xue Feng even humiliated Zuo Qing, his woman's Senior Sister, in front of him!
This caused Duan Lingtian's rage to be completely vented.
Hu Xue Feng's breathing became hurried, and his eyes transformed into a crimson red color, yet he just happened to not dare flare up.
He didn't dare gamble.
The confidence Duan Lingtian displayed caused him to be extremely fearful.
The surrounding crowd of outer court disciples looked at Hu Xue Feng with more and more strange gazes.
However, when their gazes descended onto Duan Lingtian, they were instead filled with reverence.
"Senior Sister, if this coward dares to be disrespectful to you in the future, feel free to tell me."
Duan Lingtian looked at Zuo Qing and lightly smiled.
Zuo Qing was his woman's Senior Sister, and was also his Senior Sister. He had the responsibility to protect Zuo Qing and not allow others to humiliate her.
Zuo Qing lightly nodded, and a brilliant smile hung on her beautiful face.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really something."
He Dong shook his head and smiled, as he wholeheartedly submitted to Duan Lingtian.
"Test Elder has arrived."
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed outer disciple looked into the distance and exclaimed.
Upon hearing the voice, Duan Lingtian turned around and followed the gaze of the outer disciple.
The Test Elder whom Duan Lingtian had met seven months ago had appeared before him once more.
Presently, the Test Elder had come up from the main peak, Dubhe Peak.
Behind him, there were eight Inner Sect disciples who were divided into two groups. They carried two huge objects covered in red cloth and slowly walked onto the examination platform.
"Test Elder."
The group of outer court disciples on the test platform respectfully greeted the test elder who was in the lead.
The exam elder nodded slightly. He stood in the middle of the exam platform and said to the eight inner disciples, "Put the two cages here."
"Yes."
Eight Inner Sect Disciples responded and carried the two huge objects covered in red cloth over to him.
A cage?
Hearing the words of the invigilating elder, the outer court disciples present were all puzzled.
"Ferocious beasts?"
Duan Lingtian immediately used his Spiritual Energy to detect a clue. He discovered that there was actually a powerful ferocious beast hibernating within each of the huge objects covered in red cloth.
Could this be the inner court disciple assessment?
Duan Lingtian secretly guessed in his heart.
Bang! Bang!
Two loud noises sounded. The two huge objects covered in red cloth landed in the middle of the exam platform.
Now.
Apart from the test elder and the eight inner court disciples present, only Duan Lingtian had a calm expression on his face.
All the outer court disciples, including He Dong and Zuo Qing, stared curiously at the two huge objects covered in red cloth.
They wanted to know what was inside.
"Lift the red cloth."
At this moment, the test elder looked at the inner court disciples who were standing on the side of the huge objects covered in red cloth and said lightly.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the red cloth was lifted by the two inner court disciples, the huge objects under the red cloth were completely revealed before the eyes of Duan Lingtian and the group.
"This …."
Some outer court disciples couldn't help but stare in shock.
"Violent Ape! It's a Violent Ape! "
An outer court disciple couldn't help but shout out in shock, and his face was ghastly pale.
Presently, what appeared before the eyes of everyone was two enormous cages. The cages were obviously made of special materials, and within each of the two enormous cages sat a sleeping huge object.
These two huge objects were enormous apes that were completely covered in black fur.
They were three meters tall with bulging muscles on their entire bodies, and they were obviously not ordinary ferocious beasts.
"Violent Ape, ninth level Origin Core Stage ferocious beast!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze squinted as he recognized the origins of these two ferocious beasts.
Violent Ape, ninth level Origin Core Stage ferocious beast. It possessed boundless strength and speed like the wind. It was able to smash a tiger or leopard to death with a single punch, and a single collision was able to knock down a large tree that required a few adults to encircle ….
It was an extremely terrifying and troublesome ferocious beast.
"Awaken them."
Right when the gazes of Duan Lingtian and the group descended onto the two Violent Apes, the test elder continued to instruct.
Instantly, two inner court disciples withdrew two medicinal pills and stuffed them into the mouths of the two Violent Apes.
After a short moment, the two Violent Apes that had fallen asleep woke up, and they opened their crimson red eyes that were large as gongs ….
When they opened their eyes, they saw the group of people, and they instantly became irritable.
"Aooo!"
"Aooo!"
…
The two Violent Apes pounded their robust chests as they exerted all their strength to ram into the cages that locked them up.
But unfortunately, even though they possessed boundless strength, they were still unable to do anything to the two cages.
"The material of this cage … seems to be Thousand Year Dark Iron."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be astounded as he looked at the pitch black enormous cage.
As expected of the Seven Star Sword Sect, so extravagant.
This Thousand Year Dark Iron was the main material to refine a grade seven spirit weapon, but now, it was actually used to make a cage.
Extravagant!
Too extravagant!
In the end, the two Violent Apes seemed to have realized that using brute force was unable to solve the problem. They stopped moving, and their human-like eyes flickered as their gazes descended onto the test elder.
When he saw this scene, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but praise in his heart. "As expected of the ape-type fierce beasts that are closest to humans. Although they're only at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, they've already begun to understand human nature."
Under the gaze of Duan Lingtian.
"Aooo ~"
"Aooo ~"
The two Violent Apes looked at the test elder and roared in a low voice, and their gong-sized eyes contained a trace of begging mixed within.
"As long as you cooperate, I'll get someone to send you back to the primeval forest after we're done."
The test elder looked at the two Violent Apes with a calm gaze as he spoke indifferently.
"Aooo ~"
Seeming to have understood what the test elder said, the two Violent Apes took human form and nodded, then obediently stayed within the cage.
"These two Violent Apes wouldn't be the content of the inner court disciple test this time, right?"
An outer court disciple couldn't help but guess.
"It shouldn't be … Although the Violent Ape is strong, it's only a ninth level Origin Core Stage fierce beast after all, and its strength is only comparable to the strength of 120 ancient mammoths. Not to mention Senior Brother Duan Lingtian and the others, even I, with my cultivation at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage and relying on a grade seven spirit sword, would be sufficient to kill it! "
Another outer court disciple shook his head.
His words obtained the agreement of most of the people.
Duan Lingtian agreed as well.
A seventh level Origin Core Stage martial artist possessed the strength of 100 ancient mammoths, and if they were to utilize a spirit weapon, their attack strength would completely crush the Violent Ape.
Coupled with being in such a narrow cage, the Violent Ape was utterly unable to exert its speed, and in the end it could only be reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"What? All of you look down on the Violent Ape so much?"
The corners of the test elder's mouth curled into a ridiculing smile when he heard the group of outer court disciples whispering in discussion.
Duan Lingtian's heart jerked when he saw the test elder's sly smile.
Traces of a bad premonition arose within the hearts of the other outer court disciples as well.
"Test Elder, could it be that these two Violent Apes are really the content of the inner court disciple test?"
An outer court disciple looked at the test elder and couldn't help but ask.
"Exactly."
Test Elder nodded.
Right when the group of outer court disciples were beaming with joy and had faces full of excitement, and felt that the inner court test this time was extremely simple.
Test Elder continued. "Right, I almost forgot to tell all of you … The content of the inner court disciple test this time is exactly as all of you guessed, it's to allow all of you to battle the Violent Ape. But when all of you battle it, all of you are not allowed to utilize any external forces, including spirit weapons, inscriptions, and so on. "
When Test Elder finished speaking, the hearts of the group of outer court disciples had already risen to their throats.
After Test Elder finished speaking.
The expressions of all the outer court disciples couldn't help but go pale.
Not using external forces?
At this moment, besides Duan Lingtian whose gaze shone and had a calm expression, the expressions of the others couldn't help but go pale.
Including He Dong, Zuo Qing, and Hu Xue Feng.
The expressions of the three of them were extremely unsightly.
Even if He Dong and Hu Xue Feng had broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage now, but if they didn't rely on any external forces and fought empty handed against two ninth level Origin Core Stage fierce beasts, the Violent Apes, they similarly didn't have the slightest confidence.
"Test Elder … How could this be possible? If we don't use external forces, how could we possibly go against the Violent Apes? "
An outer court disciple was terrified by what Test Elder said to the point his legs trembled, and he asked with slight hesitation.
His words obtained the agreement of all the outer court disciples besides Duan Lingtian.
Amongst the outer court disciples present, including the strongest Duan Lingtian, He Dong, and He Xue Feng, the strongest was only at the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage, and there wasn't a single ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist.
"Hmph!"
Test Elder grunted in a low voice, and his fierce gaze swept past all the outer court disciples present one by one.
He couldn't help but frown when he saw the outer court disciples with unsightly expressions, and only when his gaze descended onto a young man around the age of 20 did his frown ease up.
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian noticed that Test Elder had looked over.
"Test Elder."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to Test Elder.
"Indeed young … I heard that after you consumed the Profound Origin Fruit, you've already broken through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage?"
When Test Elder faced Duan Lingtian, his face was filled with a brilliant smile.
Duan Lingtian's natural talent was already worthy of him facing him with a smiling face.
Meanwhile, the gazes of the nearby eight inner court disciples descended onto Duan Lingtian. "He's that Duan Lingtian?"
"He's really as young as the rumors say."
"Oh my god! Such a young man is an eighth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple? "
