At Duan Lingtian's subtle gesture, Ding Yan casually glanced in that direction and asked, "How do you know?"
"I feel like he looks at me differently from the other two teachers."
Duan Lingtian revealed his discovery.
"That's Teacher Zhu Chun. His wife and the third master of the Chong Family's wife are sisters … Because of this, he's very close to the Chong Family. It can even be said that he's half a member of the Chong Family."
Ding Yan said.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, realization dawned on him. If that was the case, then everything would make sense.
"However, don't worry. Although he has a good relationship with the Zhong Clan, he won't dare to mess around under Master Yu Qianshan's nose unless he has a death wish. At most, he'll send a message to the Zhong Clan. Even without him, Zhong Ke Qi and Zhong He Liang can do that. "
Ding Yan continued to say.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Duan Lingtian."
Suddenly, a Voice Transmission rang in Duan Lingtian's ears. It was from Hou Qingning, who was also staying in the ten-star high-grade dormitory and had an extraordinary background. "The Zhong Clan will definitely do something to you in the ten-star trial this time.
Before I came, I've already informed the elders in my sect to bring people to the vicinity of the trial site. They can go in and protect you at any time.
"Do you need my help?"
After all, I don't want anything to happen to you, Duan Lingtian. If that's the case, I'll have one less opponent to spar with. "
Duan Lingtian did not expect Hou Qingning to send him a Voice Transmission.
After all, he had only met Duan Lingtian once.
He had only agreed to spar with Duan Lingtian after the trial.
How could Duan Lingtian make such an arrangement based on this?
"Thank you."
Although he was surprised, Duan Lingtian still rejected Hou Qingning's good intentions. "However, I think … I can solve this matter myself."
If he asked Hou Qingning for help, he could further conceal himself and keep a low profile.
However, if he did that, he would definitely owe Hou Qingning a favor, and even the sect behind Hou Qingning would owe him a favor.
If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to do this.
Moreover, even if he revealed his strength this time, he would be careful and not expose his' trump card '.
Even if he did this, he would be valued by the Hidden Fog Academy and the Hidden Fog Sect.
Although he wanted to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention, which would cause him to fall into the situation of 'the tallest tree in the forest will be the first to be destroyed by the wind', he also knew that the benefits of keeping a high profile outweighed the disadvantages.
As long as the balance between the two was properly grasped, it would be enough.
"Alright.
"Hou Qingning nodded." Then I'll have them go back. "
He didn't say anything else. Whatever Duan Lingtian said, he was decisive and straightforward. This also made Duan Lingtian have a better impression of him.
After all, they were strangers. Even if Duan Lingtian didn't fear the Zhong Family, it was still very rare for him to do this.
"Duan Lingtian, we're about to reach the trial grounds … remember what I said and follow me."
After following Duan Lingtian for a while, the surrounding scenery changed several times. Ding Yan's sound transmission also reached Duan Lingtian's ears.
"No need."
Duan Lingtian rejected Ding Yan's good intentions again. At the same time, he felt a little helpless. If only Ding Yan was as straightforward as Hou Qingning. He had rejected him many times, but Ding Yan was like a dog skin plaster, sticking to him.
Of course, he couldn't turn hostile.
After all, Ding Yan was doing this for his own good.
However, there were some things he couldn't explain.
He couldn't possibly tell Ding Yan that even the higher deities sent by the Chong Family would most likely die in his hands if they fought against him, right?
What qualifications did he have to say that?
Even the most outstanding middle Deities of the Hidden Fog Sect wouldn't be able to accomplish this.
This was a little too high profile.
"We've arrived."
When Duan Lingtian and the others arrived in the air above a forest and mountain range, Yu Qianshan brought Duan Lingtian and the others to a stop. At the same time, he turned and looked at Duan Lingtian and the others. "Now, I will give you the point tokens.
"As usual, make the point token recognize you as its master. As for the point token, once it recognizes you as its master, it cannot be removed. If you die, the point token will disappear.
"Normally speaking, the trial of a 10-star student shouldn't be a threat to your life … what is being tested is the speed at which you hunt monster beasts.
"If you encounter powerful monster beasts, even if you can't defeat them, you can still escape unscathed.
"Of course, if you are really unlucky and encounter a large number of monster beasts, you can choose to crush your point tokens … At that time, I will rush over and save you."
…
After listening to Yu Qian Shan's words, Duan Ling Tian looked at Ding Yan who was standing next to him and asked through Voice Transmission, "Since crushing the Accumulative Point Token can get teacher Yu Qian Shan to kill me, why would the Zhong Clan send someone to kill me? Aren't they afraid I'll crush my point token? "
Ding Yan shook his head in response to Duan Lingtian's question. He replied with a voice transmission, "You're overthinking it.
"If the Zhong Clan intended to kill you in there, they would've brought along a Formation plate and activated a Formation to block the connection between Yu Qianshan and the Accumulative Points Medallion. Even if they didn't use the Formation plate to block the connection between Yu Qianshan and the Accumulative Points Medallion, they could've asked the students related to the Zhong Clan to crush the Accumulative Points Medallion and lure Yu Qianshan over."
"And they will make a move on you at that time."
Ding Yan said, "A God King clan like the Zhong Family will definitely leave a way out for themselves.
To them, all they have to do is to kill you. They don't care about the lives of the higher gods sent by the Zhong Family. In fact, those higher gods might even be sacrificial warriors that they have reared. They might have sworn a Heart Demon Blood Oath to be loyal to the Zhong Family. "
In the Realms of Gods, the Heart Demon Blood Oath could make anyone pale.
If one swore a Heart Demon Blood Oath in other realms, as long as one was not in the Realms of Gods, nothing would happen to them. However, if one swore a Heart Demon Blood Oath in the Realms of Gods, one would be directly linked to a supreme expert. If one were to violate the oath, one would be hunted down by the supreme expert's subordinates.
Even a God would not be able to escape death.
For some powerful Ultimate Gods, the Ultimate Gods' subordinates might not have the ability to kill them. However, under such circumstances, the matter would not end just because of the Ultimate God's strength. The Ultimate Gods would personally make a move and kill the Ultimate Gods.
Violating a Heart Demon Blood Oath was equivalent to blasphemy against the supreme expert. It was something the supreme expert would not tolerate.
In the Realms of Gods, the supreme expert was like a law.
As long as one did not violate the law, everything would be fine. However, if one did, one would be punished by the supreme expert.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
As Yu Qianshan raised his hand, token after token flew out and hovered in front of the ten-star students, including Duan Lingtian, waiting for them to collect it.
Duan Lingtian took the token and dripped his blood on it to claim ownership.
"Go."
Yu Qian Shan's voice fell. Then, a ten-star student stepped out from the crowd. His figure flashed, and disappeared into the forest and the mountain range below.
The mountain range was full of twists and turns, and the forest stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Hidden Fog Academy's ten-star students' trial covered a large area in front of them.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll go first."
After Hou Qingning bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian, he followed Duan Ling Tian and entered the mountain range below. Soon after, his figure disappeared into the mountain range.
"Let's go as well."
Ding Yan called out to Duan Lingtian before the two of them flew into the forest below.
However, as soon as they entered the forest, Ding Yan noticed that Duan Lingtian had disappeared into thin air. "This is bad!"
At this moment, Ding Yan finally regained his senses. Duan Ling Tian had no intention of leaving with him at all.
"That guy … Is he really not afraid of death?"
Ding Yan was flustered and exasperated.
He did not have many friends in the Hidden Fog Academy. However, Duan Lingtian had shown mercy when they fought. He did not injure or even kill him. Ding Yan was very grateful to him and treated Duan Lingtian as his friend.
This was also the reason why he became close to Duan Lingtian.
One could imagine what it would be like for a person who didn't have many friends before to suddenly have a friend that he recognized.
Sometimes, Duan Lingtian could not handle Ding Yan's enthusiasm.
Just like this time, Ding Yan insisted on staying by Duan Ling Tian's side. Duan Ling Tian had tried to reject him a few times but to no avail. In the end, he could not be bothered to reject Ding Yan.
It was not that he did not believe Ding Yan's words.
Ding Yan had said many times that as long as he followed him, he would not be in danger. He also thought that Ding Yan might really have an extraordinary identity.
However, he did not want to owe Ding Yan a favor.
Just like how he did not want to owe Hou Qingning and the God-King level sect behind him.
This was because he felt that he could solve this matter by himself.
"The ten-star trial is to hunt demonic beasts in the trial ground. After killing the demonic beast, immediately let the token touch the fresh blood of the demonic beast to gain points."
"If you think some parts of the demonic beast's body are valuable, you can take them."
"The ten-star trial is to test your speed in hunting demonic beasts and how to deal with all kinds of demonic beast attacks. Some demonic beasts like to attack humans in groups. Although these demonic beasts are not necessarily a threat to our lives, not many people are willing to encounter them. Once you encounter them, it is equivalent to wasting a lot of time on them, whether it is to kill them or to escape from under their noses."
…
Before entering the ten-star trial ground, Duan Lingtian learned the specific rules and procedures of the trial from Ding Yan. He knew what to do and what to avoid after entering the trial ground.
"I just received a message from Young Master Qi. Duan Lingtian has entered."
In the depths of a mountain forest, ghostly figures that seemed to be hidden in the shadows appeared under the lead of a skinny figure.
