"Are you alright?"
Li Fei's head collided with Duan Lingtian's chest, but she wasn't injured in the slightest. She raised her head and looked at Duan Lingtian with concern.
The way Duan Lingtian risked his life to save her was still vivid in her mind.
She was deeply touched.
"Big Sister, can you get down first? You're so heavy, you should lose some weight …"
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly. The intense pain that came from his back caused him to break out in cold sweat.
Luckily, he'd cultivated to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage, and the transformation of his flesh, blood, and bones was far from what an ordinary ninth level Body Tempering Stage martial artist could compare to, so his bones weren't injured.
Li Fei's beautiful face flushed red.
She was puzzled in her heart. Was she really that heavy?
Under numerous dubious gazes, Li Fei got down from Duan Lingtian's body.
"You … You're so heavily injured."
Raising her hand to help Duan Lingtian up, Li Fei's face went ghastly pale as she looked at the open wound on Duan Lingtian's back.
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief and stood up shakily.
"Thank you!"
Li Fei was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Can you give me something more practical …?"
Duan Lingtian laughed slyly.
"What do you want?"
Li Fei was stunned.
"Give yourself to me …."
Duan Lingtian's gaze once again became burning.
"Bah!"
Li Fei's face flushed red, as if blood would drip out.
"Cough cough …."
The judge's light cough sounded out, breaking the gentle and charming atmosphere between Duan Lingtian and Li Fei.
"Do the two of you still want to continue?"
It was obvious that even the referee could not stand the flirting between the two of them.
"No need, I admit defeat."
Li Fei shook her head, then supported Duan Lingtian down the combat arena. She moved lightly, deeply afraid of touching Duan Lingtian's injuries.
"Young master!"
"Are you okay?"
Kerr and Li Shishi greeted him with worried expressions.
For a moment, Duan Lingtian was surrounded by three women.
Countless envious and jealous gazes fell on Duan Lingtian from all directions.
Almost every man present wished that the one injured wasn't Duan Lingtian, but themselves …
In this way, he could replace Duan Lingtian.
"Feifei, are you okay?"
Li Qing came to Li Fei and asked with concern.
"Li Qing, I've told you many times, call me Li Fei."
Li Fei frowned slightly in displeasure. She focused on cooperating with Kerr and helped Duan Lingtian treat the wound on his back …
From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Li Qing.
Li Qing's face sank as he took a deep breath.
"Duan Lingtian, I hope this little injury isn't enough to make you give up on the following battles."
Li Qing's gloomy gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian.
"Don't worry, my goal is first place."
Duan Lingtian looked at Li Qing without the slightest fear.
"Hmph!"
Li Qing snorted coldly as he turned around and left.
He was truly afraid that if he stayed even a moment longer, he wouldn't be able to restrain himself from ruthlessly killing Duan Lingtian.
After Li Fei's danger was resolved, the attention of everyone present moved onto Duan Lingtian.
Today, Duan Lingtian gave them too great of a shock.
First, he defeated a Core Formation inner court disciple with a cultivation at the ninth level of the Body Tempering stage.
After that, he even drew upon the energy of heaven and earth to develop two ancient mammoth silhouettes …
Ninth level of the Body Tempering stage, possessing the strength of two ancient mammoths.
They had never heard of such a thing!
Not to mention that.
After that, in order to save Li Fei from danger.
Duan Lingtian erupted once again, and even a third ancient mammoth silhouette appeared …
From beginning to end, they didn't see Duan Lingtian use Origin Energy.
In other words.
Duan Lingtian, ninth level of the Body Tempering stage, possessing the strength of three ancient mammoths.
If they didn't see it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe that what they saw earlier was true.
"No wonder Duan Lingtian threatened to fight for first place. So it turns out that he's so strong."
"Yeah, even though Li Qing is at the second level of the Core Formation stage, when Li Qing attacks with his full strength, it's only comparable to the strength of three ancient mammoths … In this aspect, Duan Lingtian isn't inferior to him."
"Moreover, Duan Lingtian's martial skills are very strong, so defeating Li Qing isn't impossible."
"I have confidence in Duan Lingtian as well."
...
The crowd whispered in discussion. Many people thought highly of Duan Lingtian.
These words were incomparably ear-piercing to Li Qing's ears.
His face sank, killing intent flickered in his eyes, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his veins throbbed …
"Duan Lingtian!"
Even though he was surprised that Duan Lingtian possessed the strength of three ancient mammoths.
He still didn't take Duan Lingtian seriously.
As far as he was concerned, Duan Lingtian was only a sixteen-year-old kid after all. To possess such strength, he surely had a fortuitous encounter.
A Branch Family disciple with slightly better luck.
How could he possibly be a match for him, a genius of the Li Clan?
"I didn't expect that this Duan Lingtian had concealed so much strength. Being defeated by him wasn't an injustice."
Li Zhong's gaze was complicated as he sighed.
Then, he looked towards Li Xiao, who had a dumbstruck expression.
"Behave yourself in the future and don't provoke him! We can't afford to offend him. "
Li Zhong warned.
"Yes."
Li Xiao smiled bitterly as he nodded.
"I didn't expect that his true strength would be so strong. To think that I took him to be my opponent at the beginning."
Li Won gazed at the violet-clothed youth in the distance, and his mood was unable to calm down for a long time.
He originally thought that cultivating the Unfettered Steps to the Mastery Stage would be sufficient to defeat Duan Lingtian.
Now it seemed that all of this was just a joke.
On the high platform.
"I didn't expect that this Duan Lingtian would be able to utilize the strength of three ancient mammoths with a cultivation at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage …"
Patriarch Li Ao's expression became slightly serious.
Duan Lingtian's true strength had completely exceeded his expectations.
"According to common sense, he must have had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a treasure of the heavens and earth. Only then would he be able to possess such monstrous strength."
The old man beside him guessed.
"I think so too."
The white-browed old man nodded in agreement.
The Clan Martial Meet continued.
"Li Qing, Li Fei!"
The voice of the judge sounded out.
For a moment, the gazes of everyone descended onto Li Fei who was helping Duan Lingtian clean his wounds.
"I admit defeat."
Li Fei didn't even raise his head as he continued to carefully clean Duan Lingtian's wounds.
"Li Qing wins!"
Although Li Qing won, he wasn't happy in the slightest.
His gloomy gaze never left the violet-clothed youth in the distance.
Nearby.
"I hope that Duan Lingtian encounters Li Qing first."
Li An's heart was restless and uneasy.
When Duan Lingtian made his move and drew upon the energy of heaven and earth to develop three ancient mammoth silhouettes, he felt powerless in his heart.
He knew his limits.
Duan Lingtian wasn't someone he could deal with.
"Brother An, this Duan Lingtian concealed his strength too deeply."
The green-clothed youth at the side had a lingering fear in his heart. He had almost made a move against Duan Lingtian last time.
Now that he thought about it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Whoosh!
After Kerr and Li Fei treated his wounds, Duan Lingtian consumed a ninth grade Gold Injury Pill and his injuries gradually improved.
After all, he didn't injure his muscles and bones, so he quickly recovered by more than half and wouldn't affect the following battle.
"Duan Lingtian, Li An!"
The voice of the judge sounded out at the right time.
Li An's expression changed.
The thing he was most worried about had happened.
"Be careful."
Before Duan Lingtian prepared to ascend the combat arena, Li Fei lightly reminded him.
"It seems that my injuries were quite worth it. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me. I still have many things I want to do … "
Duan Lingtian glanced at Li Fei with a burning gaze. After the latter flirtatiously rolled her eyes at him, only then did he ascend the combat arena.
"Kerr, this Duan Lingtian is a womanizer. Aren't you angry?"
Li Shi Shi held Kerr's hand and walked to the side, avoiding Li Fei as she asked in a low voice.
"Big Sister Shi Shi, as long as there's a corner of Young Master's heart that belongs to me, I'm satisfied."
Kerr lightly smiled.
Hearing this, Li Shi Shi was speechless.
Where did this Duan Lingtian get such great charm to make Kerr be so dead set on him?
On the combat arena.
Duan Lingtian looked at Li An with a calm gaze.
Li An took a deep breath. His mind was filled with the scene of Duan Lingtian drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth to develop the three ancient mammoth silhouettes …
Duan Lingtian's strength was comparable to the second level of the Core Formation stage!
His martial skill level wasn't inferior to his.
"I admit defeat!"
Although unwilling, Li An still made his decision.
If he really made a move, he didn't know what Duan Lingtian would do to him. If Duan Lingtian were to be ruthless, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
He didn't dare to gamble.
Instantly, the surroundings of the combat arena were filled with boos.
Li An's strength was publicly acknowledged as number two in the Li family's younger generation.
But now, he didn't even have the courage to battle Duan Lingtian.
Too cowardly!
Noticing the disdainful gazes from the surroundings, Li An took a deep breath and suppressed the shame and anger in his heart.
His eyes of hatred carried an icy cold gaze as they flashed past Duan Lingtian.
"Li An, Li Qing!"
After a few more matches, the referee's voice sounded out once more.
This time, Li An directly admitted defeat as well.
Li Qing wins!
Along with the passage of time, dusk arrived.
"Li Qing, Duan Lingtian!"
Under the anticipation of everyone, the most exciting moment had finally arrived.
Two youths that possessed the strength of three ancient mammoths would raise the climax of this year's Clan Martial Meet ….
His white clothes fluttered as Li Qing already stood on the combat arena.
His condescending gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, filled with contempt and disdain.
"This Li Qing is really arrogant!"
Duan Lingtian's face slightly sank.
But, just when he was about to stride out and ascend the combat arena ….
"Duan Lingtian!"
A condensed voice entered into his ears.
He quickly noticed that the surrounding people didn't seem to notice.
In other words, only he was able to hear this voice.
Through the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, Duan Lingtian found out.
Martial artists at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage and above all had the ability to condense sound into a line.
The owner of the voice was none other than Li An.
It was precisely the Li Clan's Patriarch, Li Ao.
Duan Lingtian slightly raised his head to look at Li Ao on the high platform with a puzzled expression, not knowing what Li Ao wanted to do.
Li Ao was looking at him as well.
"Duan Lingtian, I hope you can admit defeat for this match …."
Li Ao's words caused Duan Lingtian to frown.
Admit defeat?
Impossible!
His goal was the reward for first place, the 350 year old Blood Lingzhi. Asking him to give it up now was something he couldn't do.
"I know this is making things difficult for you, but I promise you that I'll privately compensate you with the reward for first place. How about it?"
