"That's naturally for the best."
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Ye Chenfeng's eyes couldn't help but flash with admiration.
At the same time, he also felt that Duan Lingtian was definitely not a fluke to have such strength at such a young age.
Ordinary heaven's pride experts were usually proud and arrogant. They felt that those weaker than them wouldn't be of any help to them, nor would they admit that they could help them.
But Duan Lingtian didn't think so.
Not only did he not think so, but he also openly said that he might be able to find some inspiration from those weaker than him.
In fact, being strong didn't mean that you were strong in every aspect.
Those weaker than you weren't weaker than you in every aspect. It could only be said that their overall strength wasn't as good as yours.
Some aspects of them were still worth learning.
"Duan Lingtian."
Shortly after ending the voice transmission with Duan Lingtian, the group returned to the temporary residence arranged by Profound Jade Manor. Zhen Pingfan, however, didn't rush to go back. Instead, he followed Duan Lingtian to Duan Lingtian's residence.
"Elder Zhen, is there something you need?"
Seeing Zhen Pingfan following them, Duan Lingtian asked with a smile. But in fact, he had already guessed why Zhen Pingfan followed them. He most likely wanted to say what Ye Chenfeng told him before.
And Zhen Pingfan's next words also confirmed his guess.
At this moment, Zhen Pingfan wasn't as unruly as he usually was, and his expression was solemn. Based on his words, he was advising Duan Ling Tian not to feel too much pressure and not necessarily aim for the top three.
If not, it would be good to keep a top ten.
"Elder Zhen, I know what to do. You can rest assured."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, "All in all, I won't be reckless. At least, I'll bring back a top ten for Chunyang School. “
"Yeah."
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Zhen Pingfan was relieved. With his understanding of Duan Lingtian, since Duan Lingtian said so, he definitely wasn't talking nonsense.
Previously, he was indeed worried that Duan Lingtian would fight to the death for the top three because of the pressure.
If he was injured because of this, it was very likely that it would affect Duan Lingtian's fight for the top ten …
In the last Seven Prefectures Banquet, there was a person who was stronger than him and had a chance to enter the top ten. But because he was obsessed with fighting for the top three, he was seriously injured and couldn't recover in a short time.
In the end, not only he was kicked out of the top ten, he was also defeated by him because of a moment's carelessness, he was ranked behind him.
If he had been at his peak, he would have been able to defeat him within ten moves.
But that time, he was defeated by him.
He didn't want Duan Lingtian to follow in that person's footsteps.
It was precisely because of this that Zhen Pingfan didn't forget to tell Duan Lingtian about the past through voice transmission before he left, reminding Duan Lingtian not to be careless and not to act rashly.
Duan Lingtian was somewhat helpless about this.
Am I that unreliable?
I already told you that I won't act rashly, and you nodded to show that you believe me. But why did you bring this up when you were leaving?
Are you afraid that I'll lose my mind?
…
After Zhen Pingfan left, Duan Lingtian returned to his room and sat on his bed, thinking about the moves of the few outstanding geniuses in the past few days.
"Although they showed their strength, if that's the case, it shouldn't be difficult for me to defeat them with my current strength.
"But … who can be sure that they don't have any hidden strength that they haven't revealed yet?"
"That Moqi Hong seemed crazy when he attacked, but did he really lose his mind? He also didn't show his full strength! "
As for the others, Duan Lingtian wasn't too sure, nor did he understand them.
However, as someone who had lost to him in the past, he couldn't be more clear about Moqi Hong …
In the past, when Moqi Hong hadn't consolidated his cultivation as a High Divine Emperor, the strength he could show wasn't any weaker than when he attacked in anger at the Seven Prefectures' feast a few days ago.
The current Moqi Hong couldn't possibly retreat.
What a joke!
He was already so strong before he consolidated his cultivation as a High Divine Emperor.
Now that he had consolidated his cultivation, how could he be weaker?
"In the Seven Prefectures' feast, half soul high grade divine artifacts are not allowed … and full soul high grade divine artifacts are also not allowed."
Originally, the rule of the Seven Prefectures' feast was that half soul high grade divine artifacts were not allowed, but full soul high grade divine artifacts were not allowed …
And this was also because before Ye Chenfeng's full soul high grade divine artifact was made public, the Seven Prefectures didn't have a full soul high grade divine artifact.
Perhaps, there had always been one. Some people suspected that some forces had one, but because it wasn't made public, it was more of a guess.
However, Ye Chenfeng's full soul high grade divine artifact was witnessed by others.
The Seven Prefectures' feast added such a rule at the last minute because they were worried that the Chunyang School would act shamelessly and let others use Ye Chenfeng's full soul high grade divine artifact.
If others used it, it wouldn't be much of a threat.
However, if Duan Lingtian used it, it would be a different concept …
Duan Lingtian's strength was considered to be in the top echelon of the Seven Prefectures' feast this time. If he was given a full soul high grade divine artifact, who could be his opponent?
Moreover, he had comprehended the Sword Dao!
Not the embryonic form of the Sword Dao, but the true Sword Dao!
The Sword Dao that Ye Chenfeng had mastered.
The Sword Dao combined with a full soul high grade divine artifact, the strength displayed was definitely not as simple as one plus one.
"They're quite cautious."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. At the same time, he was organizing his thoughts, thinking about how to best fight those people if he were to face them.
There would be a certain degree of difficulty if he wanted to completely crush them with his strength.
After all, the other party was a high-level God Emperor, and the profundities that they had mastered were not weaker than his. In fact, they were even slightly stronger than his … In addition, the other party had the power of bloodline.
So far, those people had not displayed the power of bloodline.
Although Duan Lingtian had taken the power of bloodline into account when judging their strength, and he felt that their power of bloodline would not be weak …
However, before they displayed the power of bloodline, who could be sure that their power of bloodline would not be stronger than what he had estimated?
"I can't be careless."
"I definitely can't be careless."
"If there's a chance, it's best to defeat them in the shortest time possible. Completely defeat them before they gather their strength!"
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
…
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
The second segment of the final stage of the Seven Prefectures' feast, the ranking battle, had also arrived.
In this segment, Duan Lingtian and the other thirty seeded contestants were all acting as spectators … However, after a few Chunyang School disciples beside him opened their mouths, Duan Lingtian discovered that some of the seeded contestants were not present.
Of the thirty seeded contestants in Duan Lingtian's eyes, three of the strongest six were not present.
Luo Yuan from the Autumn Leaf School of the Heavenly Stellar Mansion, Lin Yuan from the Flame Howling School of the Profound Jade Mansion, and Moqi Hong from the Moqi family of the Tung Leng Province were not present.
It was obvious that they were preparing for the final segment of the ranking battle that would be held a month later, the battle for the top thirty.
That's right.
This time, the second segment of the ranking battle would last for an entire half a month. Moreover, this was only an estimate … the actual time spent might be even longer.
This was because the seventy-two contestants would have to fight against each other.
Only in this way would everyone be convinced when the final ranking was announced.
…
In the end, the second segment of the ranking battle, the ranking battle between the thirty-first to hundredth place of the seventy-two contestants of the Seven Prefectures' feast, lasted for an entire nineteen days.
It was four days longer than the estimated time.
The nineteen days were completely over.
Among the various prefectures and major forces, there were those who were disappointed and those who were happy.
On the side of Chunyang School, the rankings of Ye Yingcai, Yun Yewei, and the others had also been released …
Ye Yingcai, thirty-sixth place.
Yun Yewei, forty-second place.
…
Lan Xilin, ranked last, but at least he had made it into the top hundred. He was ranked ninety-eighth.
Lan Xilin was not the only one who was happy about this. Even his great-grandfather, the Patriarch of the Righteous lineage, Lan Zhengming, was grinning from ear to ear.
In fact, in Lan Zhengming's expectations, Lan Xilin would not be able to make it into the top hundred.
He would not even be able to make it into the Ambitious Group.
It was Lan Xilin's good luck that he was able to make it into the Ambitious Group.
And now, it was also Lan Xilin's good luck that he made it into the top hundred. This was because a few of them were more seriously injured. If they were at their peak, they might be stronger than Lan Xilin, but now they were somewhat inferior.
Of course, Lan Xilin was not the only one who was lucky. There were a few others as well.
Again, luck was also a part of one's strength.
Therefore, although the fact that Lan Xilin and the others had made it into the top hundred made many people's jaws drop, no one questioned them …
No matter what, they were only at the bottom of the top hundred. Although they could receive some rewards, the lower the ranking, the worse the rewards would be.
Of course, if Lan Xilin and the others had made it into the top thirty, there would definitely be a group of people who would question them.
But now, no one said anything.
"Everyone."
Right now, it was still noon. The second segment of the ranking tournament had finally come to an end after nearly twenty days. Flame Howl Sect's Elder Lin Donglai, who was in charge of hosting the Seven Prefectures' Feast this time, announced loudly, "In eleven days, it will be the final segment of the ranking tournament, the battle for the top thirty."
"And that will also be the final segment of the Seven Prefectures' Feast this time."
"In these eleven days, I hope that everyone will not wander around … If not for some unpleasant things happening, don't blame us, the Mysterious Jade Mansion, for disqualifying some people from the ranking!"
When Lin Donglai said this, his eyes were filled with a few people's fierceness.
When Duan Lingtian and the others heard this, they were a little puzzled.
It was only when an Elder from Chunyang School spoke up and cleared their doubts that they understood the reason …
It turned out that in the past Seven Prefectures' Feast, there had been some powerhouses from one of the prefectures who had attacked the prodigies of other prefectures before the final segment of the Seven Prefectures' Feast began.
Although they did not attack directly, they used their powerful Divine Consciousness to deliberately injure the other party's soul and affect their performance later on.
The reason they did this was naturally to injure the prodigies of other forces who were stronger than the young prodigies of the forces behind them, paving the way for the prodigies of their own sects or clans!
"So, for the next period of time, all of you should behave yourselves and not go out."
Zhen Pingfan glanced at Duan Lingtian and then looked at Yang Qianye as he warned them with a serious expression.
