The crowd of Megrez Peak disciples respectfully and reverently sent Duan Lingtian off with their gazes.
They only returned to their senses when Duan Lingtian's figure vanished before their eyes.
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
"I truly never imagined that Senior Brother Duan Lingtian would actually defeat the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Saber Young Master and seize the first in the five great sects' Martial Competition!"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is too terrifying … In the past, I felt that his natural talent wasn't inferior to the first rate figures of the five great young masters. I never imagined that he would directly defeat one of the five great young masters, Saber Young Master. "
"Our Seven Star Sword Sect disciples didn't even enter the top three in the last two Martial Competitions. This time, he directly seized the first! Senior Brother Duan Lingtian has really brought honor to our Seven Star Sword Sect. "
"As expected of my idol! He possesses such accomplishments at the mere age of 22. After a few more years, sweeping through the other four of the five great young masters of our Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's younger generation would be nothing difficult! "
"With Senior Brother Duan Lingtian's current momentum … He might not have no hope of winning the arranged battle with Zither Young Master one year from now."
…
As the crowd of Megrez Peak disciples discussed, they led the topic to the agreement between Duan Lingtian and Zither Young Master.
One year ago, Duan Lingtian and Zither Young Master made a two year agreement.
This matter had long since spread throughout the entire Seven Star Sword Sect.
At that time, they didn't look favorably upon Duan Lingtian.
After all, although Duan Lingtian's natural talent wasn't bad and wasn't inferior to Zither Young Master …
But as far as they were concerned at that time, if Duan Lingtian was only given two years of time, it would be extremely difficult for him to surpass Zither Young Master.
But now.
After they found out that Duan Lingtian's cultivation had already broken through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage and had defeated one of the five great young masters, Saber Young Master, to seize the first in the five great sect's Martial Competition.
They saw hope.
"I believe that one year from now, Senior Brother Duan Lingtian will surely be able to defeat Zither Young Master and create another miracle!"
All the Megrez Peak disciples were filled with confidence towards Duan Lingtian.
Only Zhao Lin, who was in a corner of the Trading Hall, had a gloomy expression on his face. He seemed to be out of tune with everything around him.
"Fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, Elementary Wind Force? No! I can't let this Duan Lingtian continue to grow … I must find a chance. I must find a chance to kill him and seize the 《Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing》! "
Zhao Lin's expression was hideous and terrifying, and his eyes emitted a frightening fierce light. "If he's given a few more years, wouldn't it be possible for him to break through to the Void Prying Stage, catch up to me, and surpass me?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin's heart burned with anxiety.
He couldn't wait to chase after Duan Lingtian and kill him!
In the end, his reason prevailed over his impulse. "Presently, Duan Lingtian has seized the first in the Martial Competition of the five great sects and seized a long lost glory for the Seven Star Sword Sect … The Sect Leader surely thinks highly of him! If he wanted to kill him, he had to do it secretly. Otherwise, even Grandfather wouldn't be able to protect me. "
Zhao Lin knew clearly in his heart that although his grandfather was a Guardian Elder of the Seven Star Sword Sect, he couldn't do as he pleased.
If he were to kill a meritorious member of the Seven Star Sword Sect, the Sect Leader and the other Guardian Elder wouldn't let him off!
"Duan Lingtian, I'll surely find a chance …."
Zhao Lin's eyes emitted a lustre of greed and ferocity.
As for Duan Lingtian, he naturally didn't know what Zhao Lin was thinking.
Or perhaps, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Duan Lingtian arrived at Alkaid Hall once more and noticed that Kerr had already awoken from her cultivation.
When Duan Lingtian saw Kerr once more, he couldn't help but be stunned, as he kept having the feeling that Kerr seemed to have some sort of change. When his Spiritual Force stretched out, he noticed the problem at the first possible moment.
"Kerr, you … have broken through to the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Duan Lingtian had a surprised expression.
"Yes."
Kerr lightly smiled as she nodded, then asked. "Young Master, when did you return? Right, Little Gold has gone missing, did she go look for you? "
As she finished speaking, Kerr's beautiful brows frowned slightly, and slight worry was mixed between her brows.
"I just returned today and came over at noon. You just happened to be cultivating … As for Little Gold, she's here."
Duan Lingtian raised his hand and pulled out the little gold mouse that was hiding within his sleeve.
"Little Gold, you weren't mischievous, right?"
Kerr extended her delicate hand and lightly rubbed the little gold mouse's head as she asked with a light smile.
The little gold mouse hurriedly shook her head.
In the next moment, Duan Lingtian saw the smile on Kerr's face freeze, and she had an astonished expression.
Duan Lingtian was able to guess that the little gold mouse had surely communicated with Kerr via voice transmission, and it had frightened Kerr ….
The facts proved that Duan Lingtian's guess was correct.
Kerr's beautiful face was dumbstruck for a short moment before she spoke with slight disbelief. "Little Gold, you … You're able to communicate with me via voice transmission now?"
"Yeah, Big Sister Kerr, after I broke through to the Void Prying Stage and overcame the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, I was able to communicate with you human martial artists via voice transmission … Hehe, it's all thanks to Big Brother Ling Tian bringing me to overcome the tribulation, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find the way."
This time, the little gold mouse's voice transmission entered into the ears of Duan Lingtian and Kerr.
"You still have the nerve to say that, you're truly as timid as a mouse."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
"I've always been a mouse, a Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse …."
The little gold mouse spoke via voice transmission as a matter of course, then she paused for a moment before continuing. "There are too many existences at the Void Prying Stage and above in the Seven Star Sword Sect. If it wasn't for my strength being inferior to them and being worried about being noticed by them, I'd surely dare to go look for a place to overcome the tribulation myself!"
As she finished speaking, the little gold mouse defended herself.
Duan Lingtian and Kerr glanced at each other when they heard the little gold mouse, and they couldn't refrain from laughing.
This little fellow even knows how to clear her name?
"Young Master, what was the outcome of the Martial Competition you participated in at the Demonic Lotusblade Sect? I heard from Master that the Seven Star Sword Sect has already successively missed the top three of the Martial Competition. "
Kerr asked curiously.
"This time, our Seven Star Sword Sect disciple seized the first in the Martial Competition!"
When Duan Lingtian heard Kerr ask this, he knew that she still didn't know of the news that gave rise to much discussion outside, and he smiled mysteriously.
"First in the Martial Competition?"
Kerr was stunned, then asked curiously. "Young Master, could it be that the Sect Leader's personal disciple, Huang Ji, seized the first in the Martial Competition for the Seven Star Sword Sect?"
Kerr wasn't too clear about Duan Lingtian's current strength.
She only knew that her Young Master's strength was stronger than her, and she'd never asked about the specifics.
As far as she was concerned, although her Young Master's natural talent was extraordinary, he was still young after all. Even if he went to participate in the Martial Competition of the five great sects, she presume he wouldn't be able to obtain any rankings.
"Huang Ji?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
When he thought of the scene of Huang Ji betraying the Sect Leader and the Seven Star Sword Sect, his face couldn't help but slightly sink …
That Huang Ji was an ungrateful person, he was simply an ingrate!
Huang Ji's actions were infuriating!
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
Kerr noticed that Duan Lingtian's expression wasn't right, and her beautiful face went slightly pale as she asked timidly. "Did Kerr say something wrong?"
As she finished speaking, Kerr had tears that were on the verge of dripping.
Kerr was incomparably strong in front of others, but in front of Duan Lingtian, she was tender like water, and her entire body seemed as if it was made of water.
As far as she was concerned, Duan Ling Tian was her everything and everything!
Every single action of Duan Lingtian was related to her emotions at all times …
"I'm fine."
Kerr's delicate and pitiful appearance caused Duan Lingtian's heart to ache slightly.
Duan Lingtian extended his hand to hold Kerr's hand, then squeezed Kerr's palm as he said with a light smile, "Silly girl, I only thought of that ingrate, it's unrelated to you."
"Ingrate?"
A wisp of bewilderment appeared on Kerr's beautiful face when she heard this.
"It's that Huang Ji!"
Duan Lingtian spoke of Huang Ji's actions one by one.
After Kerr finished listening, her beautiful face seemed to be covered in a thin layer of ice. "This Huang Ji has truly gone too far! The Sect Leader fostered him into a genius, yet he actually repaid the Sect Leader like this … Now, the Sect Leader is surely very pained, right? "
"Of course."
Duan Lingtian nodded and sighed. "Putting yourself in the Sect Leader's shoes, it's not difficult to feel the Sect Leader's current feelings … Alright, let's not talk about this."
Kerr nodded, then blinked her beautiful eyes as the thin layer of ice on her face melted, and she stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian. "Young Master … It was you who seized first place in the five great sects' martial competition for the Seven Star Sword Sect, right?"
"Why do you think so?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned, as he never expected that Kerr would suddenly say this.
Could it be that the little gold mouse secretly told her?
For a moment, Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the little gold mouse.
He still remembered.
Earlier, when he brought the little gold mouse over from Megrez Peak, there was a group of Megrez Peak disciples that surrounded him and congratulated him for seizing first place in the five great sects' martial competition …
Presumably, this little fellow heard it as well.
The little gold mouse hurriedly shook her head when she saw Duan Lingtian looking over, then said via voice transmission, "I didn't say that."
"Young Master, I guessed."
When she saw Duan Lingtian questioning the little gold mouse and the little gold mouse having an innocent expression, Kerr couldn't refrain from bursting into laughter, and her smile was like a flower.
It caused Duan Lingtian to be dumbstruck for a moment.
"Young Master, you're really formidable."
Kerr noticed Duan Lingtian's burning gaze, and her beautiful face was covered in a rosy red glow that covered the sky, as if blood would drip out …
"Kerr, Young Master's true strength is yet to come."
Duan Lingtian blinked his eyes at Kerr and had a mischievous smile on his face, then he stretched out his hand to carry Kerr up by the waist and walked towards the room.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian raised his hand and threw the little gold mouse in his hand flying. "Little Gold, go play at the side! If you dare disturb us, then I'll throw you to the Sect Leader tomorrow and ask him to stew you and make a pot of nourishing soup. "
Bang!
She watched as Duan Lingtian carried Kerr into the room and closed the door.
The little gold mouse stood in midair, and her jade green eyes flickered with traces of anger.
"Big Brother Ling Tian is bad, he's bullying me!"
Although she was angry, the little gold mouse really didn't dare disturb Duan Lingtian, and her figure flashed out to descend onto the pavilion in Alkaid Hall before staring blankly.
Right at this moment.
Whoosh!
A graceful and luxurious figure appeared within the pavilion, and it was a beautiful woman.
"Little Gold, why are you here?"
