Dawn the next day.
Duan Lingtian and Luo Zhan left the Alchemist Guild's headquarters and boarded a carriage.
Another person followed by their side.
It was precisely the Guild Master of the Alchemist Guild's headquarters, Luo Rong!
Within the carriage, Duan Lingtian sat alone at the side, and Luo Rong and Luo Zhan sat side by side.
Because Luo Rong was present, Luo Zhan didn't dare be as casual as he usually was.
"Squeak squeak ~"
For a time, only the little gold mouse's cries remained within the carriage.
Luo Rong's gaze descended onto the little gold mouse.
He'd heard of the incident that occurred in the Cage Battle Arena half a month ago.
He knew that this was a demon beast that was capable of killing a second level Void Initiation Stage martial artist …
"Master, this demon beast by your side seems to not be a Goldfur Mouse?"
Luo Rong looked at Duan Lingtian and asked respectfully.
"Of course it's not a Goldfur Mouse."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, then said, "You've seen a Goldfur Mouse with a cultivation at the Void Initiation Stage?"
Luo Rong laughed slightly embarrassedly.
"Duan Lingtian, what demon beast is this little gold mouse?"
Luo Zhan asked Duan Lingtian curiously.
"Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he spoke.
"Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse?"
But even though Duan Lingtian spoke of the little gold mouse's origins, Luo Rong and Luo Zhan had obviously never heard of it.
"Although I don't know what demon beast this Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse is, but just hearing this domineering name is surely not an ordinary demon beast."
Luo Zhan sighed with emotion.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse stood on Duan Lingtian's shoulder and nodded complacently to Luo Zhan.
It was as if she was saying to Luo Zhan:
You have good judgment!
Not long after, the carriage stopped.
They arrived at the Imperial Palace.
Duan Lingtian walked down from the carriage and looked at the grand Imperial Palace before him, and he was dazed.
Before the Imperial Palace of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the Imperial Palace of the Crimson Sky Kingdom seemed to be slightly petty.
Meanwhile, Luo Rong and Luo Zhan walked down from the carriage successively.
Duan Lingtian saw many Dragon Phoenix Academy students leading their elders in the direction of the Imperial Palace's entrance.
After they handed in their tokens and registered, they could bring people into the Imperial Palace.
"Let's go."
Luo Zhan greeted Duan Lingtian and Luo Rong.
Duan Lingtian nodded and stepped forward.
When he reached the entrance of the Imperial Palace, he stopped in his tracks.
This was because three figures in the distance who were heading towards the palace had attracted his attention.
"Duan Lingtian, what are you looking at?"
Luo Rong and Luo Zhan noticed that something was off with Duan Ling Tian, and Luo Zhan asked curiously.
"Chai Jin?"
At the same time, Luo Zhan looked at where Duan Lingtian was looking.
Over there, three black figures were walking over.
Chai Jin, who was dressed in black, was walking with an ugly middle-aged man dressed in black.
In front of them was an old man in black.
Chai Jin and the middle-aged man beside him were extremely respectful to the old man.
"A member of the Blackfiend Sect?"
Luo Zhan knew of Chai Jin's origins.
But he was extremely curious as to why Duan Lingtian would lose his composure because of Chai.
Logically speaking, Chai Jin didn't have the ability to make Duan Lingtian lose his composure like this …
He faintly guessed that there was surely something hidden within.
Luo Rong's gaze descended onto the black clothed middle-aged man.
He was able to discern that Duan Lingtian's gaze had descended onto this person.
"Let's go in."
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian spoke out, and then he led the way into the Imperial Palace.
Luo Rong and Luo Zhan glanced at each other before following him.
After Duan Lingtian and Luo Zhan handed over their Dragon Phoenix Academy tokens, they started to register.
"Duan Lingtian? Luo Zhan? "
The gaze of the person in charge of registration was filled with reverence as he looked at Duan Lingtian and Luo Zhan.
Duan Lingtian's group of three entered the Imperial Palace and followed the flow of people to arrive before a vast drill ground.
"This is the place the Imperial Guards usually train."
Luo Zhan spoke to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding.
Looks like the genius competition is going to be carried out on this drill ground.
Meanwhile, more and more people had arrived at the drill ground.
"Duan Lingtian, Luo Zhan, both of you really came early."
The Sword Young Master, Chen Shao Shuai, had come as well.
But he was all alone.
Only when he arrived before Duan Lingtian and Luo Zhan did he notice Luo Rong who stood at the side, and he hurriedly smiled as he bowed. "Greetings, Guild Master Luo!"
"Sword Young Master, how have you been?"
Luo Rong nodded to Chen Shao Shuai, and he was obviously familiar with Chen Shao Shuai.
"Guild Master Luo, you know as well that since that old fellow passed away, no one cared about me anymore … I've lived a carefree life these past few years."
Chen Shao Shuai smiled.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
He naturally knew who the 'old fellow' Sword Young Master spoke of was.
That was the Sword Young Master's Master, the former Guardian Elder of the Origin Convergence Sect.
It was precisely he who tricked the Sword Young Master into entering the Origin Convergence Sect that day.
However, later on, that Guardian Elder died due to Qi Deviation …
Since then, the Sword Young Master had been lingering in the brothels of the Imperial City all day long.
Of course, Duan Lingtian was able to discern this.
The Sword Young Master, Chen Shao Shuai, still had some feelings for the Guardian Elder of the Gui Yuan Sect.
Not long after, more and more people arrived at the drill ground.
Many people even took the initiative to greet Duan Lingtian, Luo Zhan, and Chen Shao Shuai.
These people were practically all the Dragon and Phoenix Academy students and seniors of the powers they belonged to …
"Young Master Ling Tian is worthy of being the former number one genius of the Seven Star Sword Sect. No matter where he goes, he's able to shine brilliantly!"
"Young Master Ling Tian, if you're free in the future, you can come to our clan and disturb us. We'll surely take Young Master Ling Tian as a guest of honor."
"Crazy Young Master's reputation reverberated like thunder in my ears since long ago. Now that I've seen you today, you deserve your reputation."
"Sword Young Master, I heard your sword is swift like a bolt of lightning … It's impossible for this useless son of mine to compare with you. If Sword Young Master is free, I want to have a spar with you. "
…
Waves of flattery entered into the ears of Duan Lingtian's group of three.
The three of them responded with light smiles.
Not long after, practically all the students of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy had arrived.
Amongst them, there was no lack of members of the Zi Clan that followed Flute Fairy, Zi Yan, over.
The Flame Young Master, Zhang Yan, was chatting enthusiastically with the higher-ups of the Zi Clan by Flute Fairy's side.
But his gaze never left Flute Fairy from the beginning until the end.
"He's really a romantic."
Duan Lingtian sighed with emotion.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian saw two figures flying over from the distant sky.
These were two old men.
One of the old men was precisely the Vice Dean of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Chi Ming.
As for the other person, he'd never seen him before.
"He ought to be one of the five great Revered Elders of the Imperial Family as well."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself when he saw Chi Ming and the old man chatting and laughing.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed a cold gaze descending onto him.
Subsequently, he saw a familiar figure.
Zhang Heng!
The Little Prince of Prince Sheng's Estate.
Presently, there was a middle aged man in luxurious clothes by Zhang Heng's side.
The middle aged man had an imposing appearance, and his surroundings were filled with people that flattered him.
"He's Prince Sheng."
Luo Rong's voice sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"It's about time."
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself, and then his gaze descended into the distance.
There were three black clothed people standing there.
Members of the Blackfiend Sect!
Right at this moment, the members of the Blackfiend Sect including Chai Jin noticed Duan Lingtian's gaze as well.
Chai Jin had a dark expression as he said a few words to the old man and middle aged man by his side.
This caused the two of them to reveal surprised expressions.
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian let out a low snort, his eyes suffused with coldness.
Bringing along the little golden mouse, he strode over.
Duan Lingtian's actions gave Chai Jin a fright. "What does this Duan Lingtian want to do?"
Chai Jin asked himself.
Although he wished that he could completely return the humiliation that Duan Lingtian had given him back then to Duan Lingtian, because the distance between him and Duan Lingtian was growing larger and larger, it caused him to almost dispel this thought.
He knew that he and Duan Lingtian were simply not on the same level.
Moreover, he discovered that at this moment, Duan Lingtian's gaze actually flickered with a dense coldness.
This caused his heart to skip a beat.
"Eh."
Soon, Chai Jin discovered that Duan Lingtian's gaze was not on him.
It was on the person beside him.
"Senior Brother, do you know this Duan Lingtian?"
Chai Jin looked at the black clothed middle aged man with an ugly appearance and asked curiously.
The black clothed middle aged man looked at Duan Lingtian and shook his head. "I don't know him."
"Wait … Why do I feel that he's coming for you, Senior Brother?"
Chai Jin's expression changed.
And at this moment.
As Duan Lingtian strode out, it was as if the black clothed middle aged man was the only thing left in the world in his eyes.
This black clothed middle aged man with an ugly appearance was something that he would never forget in his lifetime!
Eight years ago, in the Misty Forest outside Aurora City.
The person from the Black Fiend Sect that used a powerful aura to suppress him and humiliate him was this person.
"Kid, remember, in front of me, you're just an ant! If I wanted to kill you, it would be no different from trampling an ant to death … I disdain to kill you! "
Now, Duan Lingtian still remembered these words that the other party said at that time.
At that moment, it was as if the reason he was able to survive was all because of the other party's disdain.
"Sun Rui!"
Duan Lingtian walked in front of the three people from the Black Fiend Sect and stared fixedly at the black clothed middle aged man as he slowly spoke.
Sun Rui!
Duan Lingtian had only just finished speaking.
Chai Jin's pupils constricted as he looked at the black clothed middle aged man with a bewildered expression.
Duan Lingtian even knew his Senior Brother's name. How could his Senior Brother not recognize Duan Lingtian?
"You … know me?"
Sun Rui frowned as he sized up the violet clothed young man before him, yet didn't have the slightest impression of him.
Now, he found out about the identity of the person before him from his Junior Brother, Chai Jin.
Duan Lingtian!
This person was the former number one genius of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Moreover, he was a figure that suppressed the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
He'd heard of him.
But he could be sure that he ought to have no relationship with Duan Lingtian.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to forget such a genius martial artist.
"Haha …"
Duan Lingtian noticed the bewilderment in Sun Rui's eyes and suddenly started laughing. "Right, in front of the high and mighty you in the past, I was only a lowly ant that could be ignored!"
"It's not surprising that you don't remember me."
Duan Lingtian's voice contained slight ridicule mixed within.
