Congratulations on the birth of the first Alliance Leader in this book! Thank you, Wine Sage!!

Under Wu Dao's incomparably anticipating gaze, Duan Lingtian slowly said, "Peak Master, the reason I was able to defeat someone stronger as the weak was because an unusual change had occurred to my Origin Energy …"
Duan Lingtian had only just spoken up to here when Wu Dao's breathing became hurried.
What he wanted to know was precisely this!
Even Wu Yong Qian had a burning expression now.
As far as he was concerned, if he was able to grasp this ability, then even if his accomplishments in the Martial Dao were limited, he would still be able to defeat someone stronger as the weak.
In the future, he might not be unable to become the Peak Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Megrez Peak.
Under the focused gazes of Wu Dao and Wu Yong Qian, Duan Lingtian continued. "My Origin Energy was originally no different than an ordinary martial artist's. But later on, when I arrived at the Seven Star Sword Sect, I made a trip to the primeval forest and was fortunate enough to obtain a type of spirit fruit! An unknown type of spirit fruit. "
As he spoke up to here, Duan Lingtian's breathing became hurried, and he had a burning expression. "At that time, after I consumed that spirit fruit, an unusual change occurred to the Origin Energy in my body, and it actually started to tremble involuntarily … I've tested it before, so long as it's an opponent whose strength doesn't surpass the strength of 30 ancient mammoths, I'm able to defeat them by relying on the unusual Origin Energy!"
Duan Lingtian spoke excitedly.
Wu Dao and Wu Yong Qian's expressions became gloomy in tacit understanding.
Spirit fruits could be chanced upon by luck, but not sought after.
The fortuitous encounter of obtaining a spirit fruit was practically impossible to replicate.
Wu Dao's fierce gaze seemed to be able to see through everything as he stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian, seeming to want to discern from the changes in Duan Lingtian's expression if Duan Lingtian was lying …
However, no matter how he observed, the changes in Duan Lingtian's expression weren't unnatural in the slightest.
Could it be that what this Duan Lingtian said was true?
Was it really because he consumed an unknown type of spirit fruit that caused his Origin Energy to undergo an unusual change?
"At that time, after my Origin Energy mutated, I just happened to encounter the provocation of Huo Xin and Yuan Wu. Thus, on the Megrez Peak life and death arena, I relied on my mutated Origin Energy to kill them in a single move! Later on, the Phecda Peak's sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple, Shao Ying, and the number one disciple in the outer court, Shi Hao, were both defeated by me, and I relied on my mutated Origin Energy to kill them! "
Duan Lingtian didn't seem to notice Wu Dao's burning gaze as he continued to speak 'excitedly' with a face full of excitement.
Wu Yongqian's gaze on Duan Lingtian was filled with jealousy.
Finally, the excitement on Duan Lingtian's face calmed down. He took a deep breath and looked at Wu Dao. "Peak Master, I've told you everything now. I've shared everything with you. Are you satisfied? Can I leave now? "
No matter how much Duan Lingtian's expression changed, his heart was terrifyingly calm …
Everything he said was just to brush off Wu Dao!
As for whether Wu Dao believed him or not, that was not something he needed to worry about.
Whoosh!
Practically at the instant Duan Lingtian finished speaking, a formidable imposing aura suddenly stretched out from Wu Dao's body and enveloped Duan Lingtian's body.
Duan Lingtian stood on the spot without moving.
As if he utterly didn't notice Wu Dao's imposing aura, he had a carefree expression, as if his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Suddenly, Wu Dao shouted out explosively, and his voice contained extremely terrifying Origin Energy that pierced into Duan Lingtian's eardrums, shaking Duan Lingtian to the point his vital energy and blood roiled, and his face slightly flushed red.
"My patience is limited! I'll give you one last chance, tell me the truth … Otherwise, don't blame me for leaving you here forever! You ought to know that I have this ability. "
Wu Dao slowly spoke out, and his voice contained a threatening intent mixed within.
Completely shed all pretense of cordiality!
Only for the sake of obtaining Duan Lingtian's method of utilizing Origin Energy.
Duan Lingtian looked at Wu Dao and said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "Peak Master, what you want to know, I've said it extremely clearly earlier … But I wonder what you mean now? You think I'm deceiving you? "
"Hmph!"
Wu Dao's gloomy face seemed as if it was covered in a layer of ice, emitting a ghastly coldness, and his gaze that flickered with killing intent descended onto Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, do you think I'll believe what you say? I'm the Peak Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Megrez Peak, and I've read through all the ancient books, yet I've never heard of a spirit fruit that's capable of causing Origin Energy to undergo a mutation! "
"You actually dare speak without thinking in front of me, do you think I'm unable to see through your lies?"
As he finished speaking, the aura on Wu Dao's body gradually became gloomy and cold.
Faint Origin Energy had already started to blossom on Wu Dao's hand, and it became denser and denser …
In the sky above Wu Dao, numerous ancient mammoth silhouettes were slowly condensing into form, increasing in number.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few thousand!
"Haha …"
Duan Lingtian started laughing when he heard Wu Dao, laughing without restraint.
"Presumptuous!"
Wu Yongqian's face sank. This Duan Lingtian actually dared be so presumptuous in front of his foster father, the Peak Master of Megrez Peak. He truly deserved death!
But he knew his own limitations. He wasn't a match for Duan Lingtian.
Otherwise, he would surely make a move to teach Duan Lingtian a lesson.
"What are you laughing at?"
Wu Dao's face was gloomy as he asked in a low voice.
"What am I laughing at?"
Finally, Duan Lingtian restrained his laughter, then sized Wu Dao up from top to bottom and slowly said, "Peak Master, it's not that I'm looking down on you … Cloud Continent is so vast, do you dare say you know everything? Read through ancient books? I wonder what ancient books Peak Master has read? "
"Cloud Continent is vast and boundless. Even the legendary expert, Emperor Wu, doesn't dare say he knows everything … Could it be that Peak Master thinks your knowledge can surpass an expert like Emperor Wu?"
As he finished speaking, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a mocking smile.
Even the Emperor Wu of Samsara all those years ago, who'd experienced two lifetimes, didn't dare say he knew everything.
This Peak Master of Megrez Peak, a higher-up of a tiny Imperial Kingdom's sect, also dared to boast like this?
Simply naive, laughable!
"You!!"
Even though Duan Lingtian's words were reasonable, it was undoubtedly an undisguised slap to Wu Dao's face, causing Wu Dao to burst into rage, and the Origin Energy on his body raged and roiled restlessly. "Duan Lingtian, do you know … Just based on these words of yours, I can directly kill you right now!"
"Haha …"
When faced with the enraged Wu Dao, Duan Lingtian's face still remained carefree. "Peak Master, your strength is shocking, and you're a Void Stage expert. Killing me is naturally as easy as flipping your hand. But, if you kill me today, I wonder what the Megrez Peak disciples would think, what the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples would think, and what the other Peak Masters, Sect Leaders, and even Guardian Elders would think! "
"Hmph! Even if I kill you today, who would know that it was me who killed you? "
Wu Dao grunted coldly with a face full of disdain.
"Peak Master, then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you … Before I came here, many Megrez Peak disciples knew that I crippled your foster son's arm, and they knew that your foster son brought me to see you."
Duan Lingtian's tone was calm as he spoke indifferently.
"Hmm?"
Wu Dao's face sank when he heard Duan Lingtian, and he frowned as he looked at Wu Yongqian who was beside him.
Wu Yongqian nodded with a bitter smile, proving that what Duan Lingtian said wasn't false.
"Trash!"
Wu Dao glanced coldly at Wu Yongqian, and his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
If it was really like this, then he really didn't dare kill Duan Lingtian …
He could disregard the Megrez Peak disciples, and even the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples.
But once this matter was spread out, the Sect Leader would surely interfere.
With the natural talent Duan Lingtian revealed now, practically everyone in the Seven Star Sword Sect took him to be the hope of the sect …
Even if it was the Sect Leader, perhaps he'd already started paying attention to Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Wu Dao looked at Duan Lingtian and said in a low voice, "Needless to say, you're extremely intelligent, truly extremely intelligent … You actually know how to create momentum for yourself and make me hold back from taking action!"
"Peak Master, you're too kind."
Duan Lingtian smiled lightly, and he felt a wave of delight in his heart when he saw Wu Dao's unsightly expression.
Wu Dao continued. "But … Even if I can't kill you, but I presume it's understandable if I teach you a lesson!"
As he spoke up to here, a wisp of gloominess appeared on Wu Dao's face.
"Peak Master, if you don't want to know the characteristics of the spirit fruit I consumed, then feel free to make a move against me."
The smile on Duan Lingtian's face didn't change, and he glanced deeply at Wu Dao, as if victory was within his grasp.
He knew clearly in his heart that everything Wu Dao did earlier was undoubtedly threatening him and probing him …
Even if it was Wu Dao himself, he didn't dare be 100% sure that what he said earlier was a lie.
"Hmph! So long as you speak, I'll let you leave safely … From today onwards, I won't make things difficult for you. "
Wu Dao was tempted as expected when he heard Duan Lingtian.
What Duan Lingtian wanted was the first half of Wu Dao's words, as for the second half, he directly disregarded it.
Could Wu Dao's promise be believed?
"That's a spirit fruit that's completely dark violet in color, and there are some small lumps on its surface …"
Duan Lingtian slowly described.
Of course, the spirit fruit he described now wasn't a spirit fruit that was beneficial to a martial artist, but was instead a highly toxic spirit fruit that killed without leaving a trace.
This type of spirit fruit was extremely rare, and it had always been loved by demon beasts that were extremely poisonous.
Moreover, if one didn't recognize this type of spirit fruit, one would absolutely not know that it contained a highly toxic poison.
Because the highly toxic poison within the spirit fruit was extremely rare, and even a silver needle was unable to detect it.
There were many people that had seen this type of spirit fruit, but it was extremely rare for them to survive, and the Reincarnation Emperor Wu was precisely one of them.
Now, Duan Lingtian's original intention was to speak nonsense, because as far as he was concerned, it was very unlikely for this type of spirit fruit to exist in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom …
He only wanted to give Wu Dao a thought.
A thought that was impossible to realize.
"You can leave! “
After finding out what he wanted to know, Wu Dao glanced coldly and indifferently at Duan Lingtian.
"Peak Master, farewell."
Duan Lingtian nodded and left.
"Foster Father, do you believe what he said earlier?"
After Duan Lingtian left, Wu Yong Qian looked at Wu Dao and his brows knit together. "I keep having the feeling that what this Duan Lingtian said can't be trusted!"
"Hmph!"
Wu Dao glanced coldly and indifferently at Wu Yong Qian. "Could it be that I can't discern it? Do I need you to teach me? Useless thing! I asked you to call him over and even made it known to everyone, allowing him to be fearless and seize the initiative. "
Wu Yong Qian lowered his head, his body lightly trembled, and his eyes transformed into a crimson red color. "Duan Lingtian!"
"I'm going to the primeval forest."
