Many people were surprised that Duan Lingtian did not show up at the Seven Prefectures Banquet today.
Of course, most people thought that Duan Lingtian had given up.
"Coward!"
Over at the Moqi Clan's side, Moqi Hong sneered. "Even if I was defeated by Wang Xiong, at least I have the courage to face him.
Duan Lingtian, you don't even have the courage to face Wang Xiong. You don't deserve to be compared to me, Moqi Hong! "
The current Moqi Hong swept away the haze from before. It was as if he had trampled Duan Lingtian under his feet.
Although Duan Lingtian did not show up.
The battle for the top ten of the Seven Prefectures Banquet continued as usual.
However, the people in front, even those who were qualified to issue challenges, did not continue to do so.
The first battle was between Lin Yuan, the prodigy of the Mystic Jade Mansion's Flame Howl Sect, who was temporarily ranked fourth, and Han Di, the prodigy of the Spirit Rhino Mansion's Qi Tian Sect, who was temporarily ranked third.
"Han Di will probably admit defeat, right?"
Today, many people thought that Han Di would admit defeat.
However, to everyone's surprise, Han Di did not admit defeat this time. He entered the arena and was only defeated after exchanging ten moves with Lin Yuan.
Of course, he admitted defeat after he was completely at a disadvantage, so he did not suffer any injuries.
"This Han Di is a smart person."
Over at the Chunyang School's side, Ye Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "He basically did not fight before. Now that he's fighting, it's obvious that he wants to show his strength to the people behind him.
This way, the people behind him won't hold on to him. "
In fact, Liu Fenggu and the other Chunyang School's higher-ups had already guessed what Ye Chenfeng was talking about.
However, that wasn't what they were focusing on right now.
Their focus was on Duan Lingtian, who had not entered the ring yet.
Although they guessed that Duan Lingtian might really give up, as people from the Chunyang School, they still hoped that Duan Lingtian would show up.
In addition, some people also noticed that Zhen Pingfan was not there.
Some of them believed that the reason why Zhen Pingfan wasn't there was to protect Duan Lingtian. After all, it wasn't safe to leave Duan Lingtian alone there.
Some people also thought that maybe Zhen Pingfan would bring Duan Lingtian along with him later.
"Number two, please enter."
Lin Donglai spoke in a clear voice under the watchful eyes of the crowd at the Seven Prefectures Feast.
In the next moment, the biggest dark horse of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures, Wang Xiong of the Famous Prefecture's Cold Mountain Residence, slowly stepped out into the air. He was still dressed in a slightly sloppy manner, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist. As he walked, his body swayed, as if he was already somewhat drunk.
"I challenge number one, the genius of Chunyang School, Duan Lingtian!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Xiong immediately issued a challenge to Duan Lingtian, who was temporarily ranked first in the Feast of the Seven Prefectures.
Even though Duan Lingtian wasn't there, Wang Xiong's eyes were still locked in the direction of the people from Chunyang School. His eyes were burning with anticipation.
Although everyone present felt that Duan Lingtian was most likely going to give up.
However, he felt that Duan Lingtian might not give up.
There was no meaning in giving up. Even if he wouldn't be laughed at, it would definitely affect Duan Lingtian's future path to becoming a powerhouse.
Not to mention other things, just the 'inner demons' that might appear in the future made it unlikely that Duan Lingtian would choose to give up.
On the path to becoming a powerhouse, failure wouldn't necessarily affect one's self. However, if one didn't even have the courage to fight, it would definitely affect one's mentality.
Once one's mentality was affected, the inner demons would take advantage of the situation to invade.
As Wang Xiong issued the challenge, the crowd instantly went into an uproar. A group of people still felt that it was impossible for Duan Lingtian to appear and that he must have given up.
"Let's just wait 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, if Duan Lingtian doesn't appear, Wang Xiong will win."
"I really didn't expect that the battle for the first place in the Feast of the Seven Prefectures would be so boring. I wonder if Duan Lingtian will come tomorrow and compete with Lin Yuan for the second place in this Feast of the Seven Prefectures."
"Although the top three in the Feast of the Seven Prefectures are only competing for the three Holy Land mystic zones for their respective factions, the individual rewards for second and third place are still somewhat different."
"Who knows, Duan Lingtian might choose not to come tomorrow and give up."
…
While the crowd was discussing animatedly, time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed.
"There's still 15 minutes left."
At this moment, the host, Elder Lin Donglai of the Mystic Jade Mansion's Flame Howl Sect, looked at the Chunyang School's side and said loudly, "If Duan Lingtian doesn't appear after 15 minutes, it will be considered as admitting defeat!"
As soon as Lin Donglai said this, many people from the various prefectures and factions felt that his reminder was unnecessary. At this time, Duan Lingtian would definitely not come!
"Great-grandmother, will Big Brother come?"
Behind the clouds, in the jade palace, a young girl looked nervously at the old woman and asked worriedly.
"Can't you just continue watching?"
The old woman shook her head and smiled, then continued to look at the mirror image in front of her.
The mirror image was the scene of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures. The people from the various prefectures and factions could be seen, but the main focus was still on the center of the Feast of the Seven Prefectures.
Wang Xiong of the Hanshan Residence of the Daming Prefecture was a close-up of the mirror image.
Almost as soon as the old woman finished speaking, the eyes of the young girl who had been staring at the mirror image in front of her suddenly lit up. "He's here! Big Brother is here! "
In the mirror image, a purple figure appeared out of thin air. After he appeared, he directly faced Wang Xiong and looked at him calmly.
It was Duan Lingtian.
…
Duan Ling Tian's sudden arrival caused a hint of understanding to flash in Wang Xiong's eyes. Just as he had guessed, it was very likely that Duan Ling Tian would not come.
At the same time, when Duan Lingtian teleported, the crowd was in an uproar. "Duan Lingtian is here?"
"Why did he appear at this time? Is he busy with something?"
"Humph! In my opinion, he is deliberately mystifying in order to attract our attention. "
"So what if he is here? Even if he is here, he is still no match for Wang Xiong! "
…
Although Duan Lingtian's timely appearance was surprising, more people were not optimistic about him. They felt that even if he did not surrender, he would still be defeated by Wang Xiong.
"He's here!"
"Duan Lingtian is here!"
…
On the Chunyang School's side, although most people felt that Duan Lingtian's appearance was useless, they were inexplicably excited. After all, he was the genius of their Chunyang School and represented the face of their Chunyang School.
Although it was not shameful to give up without a fight, it was still shameful.
Now that he had appeared, even if he was defeated, it would be a glorious defeat!
After Duan Lingtian's appearance, Zhen Pingfan also arrived and sat beside Ye Chenfeng. After greeting Ye Chenfeng and Liu Fenggu, he looked directly at Duan Lingtian in the field with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
As for what he was doubting, only he knew.
"Today, you will see."
At this time, Yang Qianye heard the words of his master, Yuan Hanjin, saying, "Your enemy, although a genius, is not invincible."
"Among his peers, there are still people who can defeat him!"
Upon hearing Yuan Hanjin's words, Yang Qianye did not respond. He did not show any other emotions, but his heart was filled with disdain.
Although Wang Xiong was Duan Lingtian's peer, how old was Wang Xiong compared to Duan Lingtian?
An eight thousand year old young Heaven's Pride and a three thousand year old young Heaven's Pride, how could they compare?
"He's here."
On the Moqi Clan's side, Moqi Hong frowned slightly when he saw Duan Lingtian.
Earlier, when he saw Duan Lingtian was not here, he felt that he was stronger than Duan Lingtian because he did not give up when Wang Xiong challenged him. On the other hand, Duan Lingtian gave up.
At that time, he felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.
But now, that sense of superiority that he had yet to fully enjoy had completely disappeared!
Duan Lingtian was here!
"Hmph! So what if he's here? He's still going to lose! "
A sneer appeared on the corner of Moqi Hong's mouth. His eyes were filled with disdain when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though he felt Duan Ling Tian was not a match for anyone but himself.
"Duan Lingtian, I've long heard of your name."
Wang Xiong looked at Duan Lingtian solemnly as he said, "An Intermediate Divine Emperor who's not even 3,000 years old from a Devata Realm … Although I'm also a Divine Emperor when I was your age, I'm nothing compared to you!"
Wang Xiong's words were, in fact, a compliment to Duan Lingtian.
However, the others were still shocked when they heard this.
Wang Xiong was not even 3,000 years old, but he had already become a Divine Emperor?
Even the group of people from the Han Mountain Residence were astonished because they didn't know Wang Xiong. They didn't know that Wang Xiong had become a Godly Emperor at such a young age.
This was because Wang Xiong had only joined the Cold Mountain Mansion 1,000 years ago. Moreover, his performance had always been mediocre, and he had been overshadowed by the other young prodigies in the Cold Mountain Mansion.
After all, Wang Xiong had always been concealing his strength and had never shown it to others.
"Our battle today has nothing to do with age."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. "The Seven Mansions Banquet is a stage for young prodigies below the age of 10,000. You and I stand at the same height. If you defeat me, you'll be the champion of the Seven Mansions Banquet.
If you can't defeat me, I'm afraid you'll have to settle for second place. "
Duan Lingtian smiled indifferently. He did not seem discouraged at all.
Even so, no one felt that he was confident in his own strength. They only felt that he was stubbornly holding on. He knew that he was going to lose, but he still cared about his reputation and stubbornly held on.
"If I can't defeat you and settle for second place, I'll accept it."
Wang Xiong smiled faintly. He did not seem annoyed by Duan Lingtian's words at all. It was as though there was no difference between first place and second place to him.
"Since both of you are here, let's begin."
Lin Donglai glanced at both of them before he spoke bluntly, interrupting their conversation.
As soon as Lin Donglai finished speaking, Duan Lingtian and Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed slightly. However, the eyes of the onlookers lit up immediately, and they straightened their backs. Their reactions were even greater than Duan Lingtian and Wang Xiong.
