On the life and death arena, a proud and aloof figure stood there as if he'd transformed into a statue.
Time silently flowed by.
Gradually, some of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples in the surroundings of the life and death arena were slightly impatient.
"Where's Duan Lingtian? Why hasn't he come yet? "
"Supposedly, he himself agreed to the two year agreement two years ago. He wouldn't be cowardly to the point he doesn't dare come, right?"
"It's possible. Zither Young Master was a seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist two years ago … With Zither Young Master's natural talent, I wouldn't be surprised even if he broke through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage now. "
"Ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage … Duan Lingtian who was only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage one year ago is probably unable to compare to Zither Young Master in only one year."
"Yeah, perhaps he'll be able to surpass Zither Young Master in another few years, but it's indeed uncertain now."
…
These Seven Star Sword Sect disciples didn't look favorably upon Duan Lingtian.
Of course, there were also many Seven Star Sword Sect disciples that had blind confidence towards Duan Lingtian.
"Hmph! Senior Brother Duan Lingtian will surely come. "
"Exactly! Not only will Senior Brother Duan Lingtian come, he'll even create another miracle and defeat Zither Young Master, and become renowned in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom! "
"Zither Young Master will surely become Senior Brother Duan Lingtian's stepping stone!"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is a creator of miracles, I believe in him."
…
These Seven Star Sword Sect disciples were mostly Megrez Peak's outer court disciples.
They'd witnessed the rise of Duan Lingtian with their own two eyes.
In their eyes, Duan Lingtian was the legend of Megrez Peak, the legend of the Seven Star Sword Sect, a legend that they respected in their hearts.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, the proud and aloof young man that stood on the life and death arena grunted coldly. "Duan Lingtian, the Seven Star Sword Sect's number one genius … Doesn't dare come? Sect Leader Linghu, looks like that genius disciple of your Seven Star Sword Sect only has an undeserved reputation! "
As he finished speaking, the proud and aloof young man's gaze swept out to descend onto the person in the lead of the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups that floated in the air.
Linghu Jin Hong!
The Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"Zither Young Master, please calm down."
Linghu Jin Hong faintly smiled, and his face was calm. "I still understand Duan Lingtian's character. Since he agreed to the Two Year Pact you set, he naturally won't go back on his word."
"I hope so."
The arrogant young man, one of the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, Zi Shang, spoke indifferently.
A moment later.
"It's Duan Lingtian!"
"Duan Lingtian is here!"
"It's really Senior Duan Lingtian! Like I said, how could Senior Apprentice Brother Duan Lingtian be afraid of this Zither Young Master? "
…
The peak of Dubhe Peak was in an uproar.
The surging crowd quickly opened up a path leading to the Life and Death Arena.
At the end of the road, two young men walked side by side.
They were Duan Lingtian and Mo Yu.
"How lively."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw practically all the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples gathered together.
These Seven Star Sword Sect disciples had undoubtedly gathered here because they wanted to witness who was stronger in the Two Year Pact between him and Zither Young Master.
Everywhere Duan Lingtian passed, all the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples revealed reverent expressions.
"I haven't seen Senior Apprentice Brother Duan Lingtian for an entire year, his bearing seems to have changed."
"Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Duan Lingtian has become more mature. His strength has surely become stronger as well. "
…
Many Seven Star Sword Sect disciples whispered in discussion.
"This person by Senior Apprentice Brother Duan Lingtian's side seems to be the new personal disciple the Sect Leader took a year ago?"
"Exactly, he's the new personal disciple the Sect Leader took after the Sect Leader's previous personal disciple, Huang Ji, betrayed him."
"Hmph! That Huang Ji is really an ingrate. The Sect Leader spent a large amount of the Seven Star Sword Sect's cultivation resources to foster him, but in the end, he betrayed him. "
…
The gazes of many Seven Star Sword Sect disciples descended onto Mo Yu, and as they discussed, many people were filled with righteous indignation.
They hated Huang Ji who betrayed the Seven Star Sword Sect to the extreme.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian and Mo Yu arrived nearby the life and death arena.
In the surroundings of the life and death arena, Duan Lingtian saw many familiar figures.
He Dong, Zuo Qing, the son of the Mizar Peak's Peak Master, Zheng Song, and Hechun, whom he met at Megrez Peak, had become inner court disciples with him in the past.
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled and nodded to people he was familiar with.
After they lightly smiled in reply, Duan Lingtian exerted strength with his legs and easily leaped onto the life and death arena.
For a time, the gazes of everyone converged onto the two people on the life and death arena.
Duan Lingtian, the peerless genius of their Seven Star Sword Sect, had defeated one of the five great young masters, Saber Young Master, at a young age and seized the glory of first place in the Martial Competition for the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Zither Young Master, the genius martial artist of the younger generation that was ranked third amongst the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, and was already at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage two years ago.
The battle between the two of them was undoubtedly a grand event that was hard to come by.
They looked forward to it extremely.
"Duan Lingtian, you've finally come! I thought you didn't dare come. "
Zither Young Master, Zi Shang, spoke with a cold voice as his eyes went cold when he saw Duan Lingtian ascending the life and death arena.
But Duan Lingtian seemed as if he utterly didn't hear him and completely disregarded him.
"Sect Leader, Peak Masters, Elders."
Duan Lingtian looked at Linghu Jin Hong and the others that stood in the sky and lightly smiled as he greeted them.
Besides Zhao Lin, Linghu Jin Hong and the other Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups all lightly smiled as they nodded to Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Zhao Lin stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian, and his eyes emitted frightening killing intent that was about to swallow Duan Lingtian up.
Although Zhao Lin's killing intent was concealed extremely well, to the extent that even Linghu Jin Hong and the other Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups didn't notice it, Duan Lingtian instead clearly felt it.
"This Zhao Lin's killing intent towards me seems to have increased. He said his son dispersed his cultivation for the sake of cultivating the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll that I fabricated … Could it be that his son saw the 24 words I casually added and castrated himself? "
Duan Lingtian glanced at Zhao Lin and his gaze became slightly strange.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Zither Young Master's rage shot to the sky when he was disregarded by Duan Lingtian, and with a raise of his hand, a zither appeared out of thin air. It was precisely the spirit zither that he carried with him.
The spirit zither in Zither Young Master's hand was a grade five spirit weapon …
Grade five spirit zither.
"Zither Young Master, don't panic."
Right when Zither Young Master's fingers bloomed with Origin Energy and was about to stroke the zither to attack, Linghu Jin Hong spoke out. "Today, I hope you can stop when going overboard in the battle between you and Duan Lingtian, and be sure not to harm each other! What does Zither Young Master think? "
"Hmph!"
Zither Young Master looked at Duan Lingtian with a slightly cold gaze. "Sect Leader Linghu's words are wrong! If I stop when going overboard and can't go all out in battle, then what's the point of the two year agreement between me and this Duan Lingtian? Or perhaps, this Duan Lingtian is afraid of death and wants Sect Leader Linghu to interfere in the two year agreement between me and him? "
Zither Young Master's words caused Duan Lingtian to be labeled as someone who's afraid of death.
Linghu Jin Hong frowned.
Most of the remaining Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups couldn't help but frown.
Duan Lingtian had extraordinary natural talent and was the future hope of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
If it was possible, they wouldn't allow Duan Lingtian to take a risk.
Right when Linghu Jin Hong intended to speak out once more.
"Zither Young Master, since you want to go all out in battle, then we'll go all out in battle … Why would I, Duan Lingtian, be afraid!?"
Duan Lingtian spoke out in a clear voice, and he stood there with an awe-inspiring imposing manner, as if he'd transformed into a fearless god of war.
As soon as Duan Lingtian said this, besides Zhao Lin who had an expression of taking pleasure in Duan Lingtian's misfortune, the expressions of the remaining people went grim.
"Duan Lingtian, don't be rash!"
"You're only at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and it's absolutely impossible for you to be a match for Zither Young Master now … Where there's life, there's hope!"
"Duan Lingtian, a loss today is a loss, and in a few years, you'll sooner or later be able to wash away the humiliation today."
…
Numerous urgent voice transmissions entered into Duan Lingtian's ears.
Some of these voice transmissions came from some of the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups, and some came from some of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples.
It caused Duan Lingtian to feel warmth in his heart.
Sect!
So this was his sect …
His Duan Lingtian's sect!!
For the first time, Duan Lingtian felt an extremely strong sense of belonging to the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"Haha … Good!"
Zither Young Master, Zi Shang, laughed loudly when he saw Duan Lingtian actually agreed. "Duan Lingtian, I heard you defeated the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Saber Young Master, Long Yun, one year ago … Truthfully speaking, I was extremely surprised when I heard this news, truly extremely surprised."
"A year has passed since the first time we met, and you've actually broken through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage! I have to admit, your natural talent is extremely strong. But unfortunately, a year has passed now, and your cultivation has probably not even stepped into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage, right? "
As he finished speaking, Zither Young Master's eyes revealed slight complacency. "Am I right?"
"So what if I haven't?"
Duan Lingtian wasn't willing to show weakness, and he spoke indifferently.
"He hasn't stepped into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Many Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups and disciples broke out in cold sweat for Duan Lingtian.
Many people even prayed that Zither Young Master was still a seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist like he was two years ago.
But, was this possible?
"You're extremely arrogant, truly extremely arrogant …"
Zither Young Master flicked his sleeve and laughed loudly, and his laughter was filled with unbridled arrogance. "But unfortunately, you don't have the qualifications to be arrogant before me! Today, I'll let you experience my improvement in these past two years … I believe that it will be a pleasant surprise to you! "
Along with Zither Young Master's unbridled words being spread out, the gazes of everyone descended onto him.
Whoosh!
The Origin Energy on Zither Young Master's body roared as the energy of heaven and earth fluctuated in the sky above him, and in the end, it gradually condensed into numerous ancient mammoth silhouettes …
1,000.
1,100.
One thousand two hundred heads.
Still increasing!
1,300.
…
One thousand five hundred!
Zither Young Master didn't utilize the amplification ability of the grade five spirit zither in his hand, and only relied on his purest strength to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to condense 1,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes.
"Half-step Void Stage!"
"My god! After two years, this Zither Young Master has actually broken through to the Half-step Void Stage! "
…
The crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect disciples were all dumbstruck.
