"Third Young Miss, with your and Hou Qingning's strength, there was actually a certain degree of uncertainty if you wanted to pass the inner sect disciple examination three days ago … The reason you were able to pass so smoothly was because the White Dragon Elder in charge of your examination, Dongfang Yannian, is my friend, so I had him go easy on you."
These were the words that Duan Lingtian directly transmitted to the Murong family's Third Young Miss Murong Yinyue.
As soon as he finished speaking, while Murong Yinyue was still in a daze, Duan Lingtian continued, "So, if you don't want to lose in the Hidden Dragon Competition and end up at the bottom, I suggest that you borrow a high quality divine weapon from your father."
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Murong Yinyue completely returned to her senses and quickly replied, "Okay, I'll borrow a high quality divine weapon from my father for Hou Qingning."
"It's not for Hou Qingning, it's for yourself."
Duan Lingtian was speechless because of Murong Yinyue's words, but at the same time, he also felt that Hou Qingning's luck was pretty good to have found someone who truly liked him. If she didn't truly like him, she wouldn't have been so considerate of him.
"But, he also needs a high quality divine weapon."
Murong Yinyue said, "Although he and I might not necessarily enter the competition at the same time, I'm afraid that if we're unlucky and enter the competition at the same time, only one person can use a high quality divine weapon."
"This time, among the upper echelons of the Murong family, my father isn't the only one with a high quality divine weapon. The clan elder beside him also has a high quality divine weapon … However, that clan elder's high quality divine weapon has already been lent to Big Brother Hanlin."
Murong Yinyue wanted to continue speaking, but was directly interrupted by Duan Lingtian, "He has a high quality divine weapon. I've already lent it to him. You don't need to worry about him."
"You just need to take care of yourself."
Duan Lingtian said.
"But you …"
Murong Yinyue was somewhat hesitant.
"Don't forget the rules of the Hidden Dragon Competition."
Duan Lingtian laughed and said, "Do you think those ten Tianlong Clan's Inner Sect Elders are watching each duel for fun? They will record everyone's strength and prepare the list for later matches. "
"It's impossible to go up against those who are strong."
"In other words, the opponents I've encountered so far are all far inferior to me. Even if I don't use a high quality god artifact, I can still easily defeat them."
The moment Duan Lingtian said this, Murong Yinyue came to a sudden realisation, "I understand, I will go and borrow a high-grade god artefact from my father."
"Actually, my father sent me a voice transmission earlier, saying that he wanted to lend me a high-grade divine artifact. However, he warned me not to lend it to Hou Qingning, lest I delay myself … He wants me to agree to his request before he's willing to lend it to me."
Murong Yinyue said with a wry smile.
"Patriarch Murong's actions are understandable."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, "Just tell him that you're borrowing a high-grade divine artifact from him for your own use and that you won't give it to Hou Qingning. If he still hesitates, just tell him that I've lent my high-grade divine artifact to Hou Qingning. "
"If he asks about the origin of my high-grade divine artifact, just tell him that the Linghu family's Elder Linghu Huan lent it to me."
Following Duan Lingtian's words, Murong Yinyue went to find the Murong family's Patriarch Murong Yunliu. After a few breaths of time, Murong Yunliu also frequently turned his head to look at Duan Lingtian.
What surprised Duan Lingtian was that Murong Yunliu actually asked him via voice transmission whether he had lent the high-grade divine artifact to Hou Qingning.
Regarding this, Duan Lingtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Could it be that this Patriarch Murong thought that his daughter was deceiving him?
In the end, under Duan Lingtian's confirmation, Murong Yunliu handed Murong Yinyue a spatial ring … Obviously, just like Duan Lingtian, he had placed the high-grade divine artifact into a spatial ring in advance and was now giving it away.
"Ding Yan."
Duan Lingtian said to Ding Yan via voice transmission, "Do you have a high-grade divine artifact? In this Hidden Dragon Competition, those who have a high-grade divine artifact have a greater advantage … If you don't have one, can I lend one to you? "
"I have one," Ding Yan said.
"I just asked Hou Qingning if he needed a high-grade divine artifact. If he did, I'd look for my Uncle Sikong to borrow a high-grade divine artifact … and he said you lent it to him."
"Duan Lingtian, it's not too safe if you don't have a high-grade divine artifact. How about I lend you another one?"
Ding Yan asked.
"No need."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "If I really want a high-grade divine artifact, I don't need you to lend it to me. This time, three elders of the Linghu family have come. Isn't it easy for me to borrow a high-grade divine artifact? "
"Alright."
Realization dawned on Ding Yan.
At the same time, the Ten-Sided Combat Ring in the middle of the field had also become lively. The twenty outer sect disciples were divided into ten groups and fought in pairs.
These outer sect disciples were basically all higher deities.
There were two Godkings who easily won the battle.
As for the other eight higher deities, they also defeated their opponents and won after a series of battles.
In each combat ring, as long as someone was defeated, two other names would immediately appear in the next moment, and the other two would step forward to take over the ring and fight.
One battle after another dazzled the onlookers.
However, they were only outer sect disciples after all, and their strength was limited to the extent that many people couldn't help but yawn and feel bored … This feeling was like adults watching children fight.
Adults would find it interesting to watch adults fight.
But it would be boring to watch children fight.
It was only until a young man in a long dark golden robe attacked and defeated his opponent with a single punch that the crowd, including Duan Lingtian, became slightly interested.
"This person's strength … I'm afraid he's no weaker than Hou Qingning."
Although the young man had only thrown a single punch, the casualness of the punch and the explosive power in it caused Duan Lingtian to involuntarily recall Hou Qingning's performance in the inner sect disciple's entrance examination.
The opponent that the young man had defeated was also a lower God King like him.
Defeating a lower God King opponent with a single punch, no matter how weak his opponent was, was enough to prove that he was stronger than the average lower God King.
Almost at the same time that Duan Lingtian had this thought, many of the spectators were already discussing spiritedly.
"This is Zhao Pei, the third disciple of the leader of the Qian Yuan Sect, a God King level sect. He's only a little over five thousand years old, but he's already a lower God King. Moreover, his comprehension of the laws is not ordinary … He was eliminated in the previous selection. The person who eliminated him was the third young master of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jianchen!"
"I remember the situation at that time. Speaking of which, Zhao Pei was unlucky. He originally had the strength to pass the selection easily, but he was targeted by Ouyang Jianchen and was directly injured. Even if he consumed a divine elixir to recover, it was too late."
"I originally thought that he would be reduced to an outer sect disciple just like that … Now it seems that he completely has the chance to pass the Hidden Dragon Competition and become an inner sect disciple again!"
…
Hearing these discussions, Duan Lingtian suddenly understood. So that was the case.
In this way, everything could be explained easily.
At that time, although he was also watching the selection, he was more focused on the young lord of the Donghua Sect, Hua Tiandu, who was participating in the selection with Ouyang Jianchen, and the seventh young lady from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, a God King level sect. As a result, he did not pay attention to Ouyang Jianchen.
"This Zhao Pei is very strong."
Hou Qingning's expression was serious. Obviously, he could also see that Zhao Pei's strength was not below his.
The Hidden Dragon Competition continued.
Later, a few more powerful outer sect disciples who had the potential to pass the Hidden Dragon Competition and become inner sect disciples appeared one after another. They were all unlucky in the selection and were injured to a certain extent, unable to recover in time.
Time passed very quickly.
When the winners of the outer sect disciples advanced one by one, the night gradually fell.
At this point, the Black Dragon elder in charge of the Hidden Dragon Competition, Blue Feather Mountain, announced that today's Hidden Dragon Competition had officially ended and would continue tomorrow.
…
The second day.
The Hidden Dragon Competition continued.
On this day, when it was close to evening, the strongest hundred of the eight hundred outer sect disciples had finally been decided.
Although many of the outer sect disciples had not fought with each other, the outer sect disciples who were ranked behind knew their own limits. They knew that they were no match for their opponents. Even if they really fought, their opponents would defeat them.
The ten inner sect elders of the Tianlong Clan, who were in charge of selecting the battle list, were middle-level God Emperors. After watching a group of lower-level God Kings and upper-level Gods fight, they naturally saw through it.
The battle list they had listed was the most reasonable.
There were close to a thousand people involved, and no one questioned it.
"Tomorrow, the top hundred outer sect disciples will participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition together with the inner sect disciples … We will strive to determine the strongest hundred out of the four hundred people within three days."
As the Black Dragon elder Blue Feather Mountain spoke, today's Hidden Dragon Competition also ended.
…
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Duan Lingtian and the other newly promoted inner sect disciples, who had been watching the excitement for two days, finally had to go on stage.
However, as the names appeared in the battle ring formed by the matrix one by one, Hou Qingning had already gone on stage twice, but Duan Lingtian still did not see his name.
It was not just him.
Even the names of the core disciple of the Thousand Demon Sect, Du Pojun, the young lord of the Donghua Clan, Hua Tiandu, the seventh young lady of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, and the third young master of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jianchen, were not shown.
Also, the names of those who had performed outstandingly in the qualifiers were not shown.
"It seems that our abilities have already been recognized. That's why we are ranked at the back."
Duan Lingtian suddenly understood.
During this period, there were some people who had kept a low profile previously. Because they did not show their abilities during the qualifiers, their names appeared in some battle rings.
For example, although many people knew that Ji Wuchang of the Hanchu Sect was as famous as Hua Tiandu, he was still called out because he did not show much ability during the qualifiers.
However, after he casually defeated his opponent who used his full strength with a casual palm strike, his name was not called out again.
He only went on stage once.
"It seems that showing my ability during the qualifiers isn't a bad thing … At least, I can save my energy at the beginning and not have to make a move."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
"Ding Yan, why haven't you been called out yet?"
Following Hou Qingning's voice, Duan Lingtian came back to his senses and suddenly remembered something …
That was:
Ding Yan had not been called out for the entire day.
Seeing the sunset glow in the sky, night was about to descend, and today's Hidden Dragon Competition was about to end, Ding Yan's name still did not appear in the battle ring.
"You couldn't have been left out, right?"
Hou Qingning frowned.
