"Qiong, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhang Shouyong couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Wang Qiong return in a hurry and was out of breath.
Wang Qiong panted heavily as she said, "Brother Yong, Father asked you to go over … The Grand Elder found a spirit fruit outside, and he intends to give it to you to consume."
"But, Second Mother is bringing Second Brother to beg for that spirit fruit at Father's place, causing Father to be in an extremely difficult position. So Father sent a voice transmission to ask someone to notify me and ask you to go over."
Wang Qiong finished speaking in a single breath.
Spirit fruit?
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up.
Since the Zhang Clan's Patriarch wanted to give that spirit fruit to Zhang Shouyong to consume, then that spirit fruit was undoubtedly a spirit fruit consumed by a Void Initiation Stage martial artist.
"Brother Ling Tian, looks like your luck isn't bad."
Zhang Shouyong smiled to Duan Lingtian.
Before Wang Qiong could react to what was going on, Zhang Shouyong called out to Duan Lingtian before walking towards the central area of the Zhang Clan Estate with large strides.
The Zhang Clan Audience Hall was there.
All along the way, Duan Lingtian and Zhang Shouyong walked side by side, and the Zhang Clan guards, servants, and maidservants they encountered on the way bowed respectfully to Zhang Shouyong. "Eldest Young Master!"
Even if it was the Zhang Clan disciples, all of them were respectful and reverent to Zhang Shouyong.
"With Big Brother Zhang's natural talent and strength, inheriting the position of Patriarch in the future is practically a certainty."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Big Brother Zhang, if you haven't consumed that spirit fruit in the past, then you can consume it yourself."
Duan Lingtian said to Zhang Shouyong.
Even though he urgently wanted to obtain a spirit fruit used by Void Initiation Stage martial artists.
However, as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't seize what another loves. If that spirit fruit was useful to Zhang Shouyong, then he would truly feel slightly apologetic.
"Brother Ling Tian, no matter if I've consumed that spirit fruit in the past or not … I'll give it to you."
Zhang Shouyong vowed solemnly.
This was his promise, a man's promise.
The grade three spirit weapon Duan Lingtian gave him was undoubtedly a great favor, and even if he used a spirit fruit to repay it, it would be difficult to repay it.
But now, he was still thinking that every little bit of it was worth it.
Zhang Shouyong's decisiveness made Duan Lingtian feel warmth in his heart.
Soon, Duan Lingtian followed behind Zhang Shouyong and entered the Zhang Family's main hall.
The main hall of the Zhang Clan was resplendent and dazzling. At this moment, three people were standing inside.
One of them stood to the side.
The other two stood on the other side, facing the former.
The person standing alone at the side was a dignified middle-aged man. He wore a blue robe and had a dignified look on his face.
"He should be the patriarch of the Zhang Clan."
With just a glance, Duan Lingtian guessed the identity of the dignified middle-aged man.
And it turned out that Duan Lingtian was right.
"Brother Ling Tian, this is my father, and also the Patriarch of our Zhang Clan."
Zhang Shouyong's voice rang in Duan Lingtian's ears.
"Patriarch Zhang."
Duan Lingtian looked at the Zhang Clan's Patriarch and lightly nodded in greeting.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch nodded to Duan Lingtian. "You ought to be that friend of Yong 'er, right? You're so young, yet possess such shocking ability. It's truly shocking. "
As he finished speaking, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's gaze seemed to contain a sense of deep meaning.
This caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to help but feel suffocated.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the other two people in the main hall.
A middle-aged woman and a young man.
Presently, both of them were glaring angrily at him, and if the flames of rage in their eyes could erupt, they would probably have already burned him into ash.
Duan Lingtian wasn't unfamiliar to these two people.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch's wife and the Zhang Clan's Second Young Master, Zhang Shouyuan.
I presume the Zhang Clan's Patriarch looked at me like that because of the matter of me teaching Zhang Shouyuan a lesson two months ago.
At this moment, it wasn't difficult for Duan Lingtian to guess this.
"Patriarch Zhang, you're too kind."
But when faced with the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's words that carried deep meaning, Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged, and he was neither servile nor overbearing.
This caused the Zhang Clan's Patriarch to greatly praise him, and he looked at Zhang Shou Yong and said, "Yong 'er, you've made an extraordinary friend … I heard that this friend of yours intends to participate in the Dynasty Martial Competition four months from now as well. I really look forward to it."
"Brother Ling Tian will surely not disappoint Father."
Zhang Shou Yong nodded, and his words were filled with confidence towards Duan Lingtian.
"Father, I heard the Grand Elder found a spirit fruit?"
In next to no time, Zhang Shou Yong asked.
Practically at the instant Zhang Shou Yong finished speaking, the nearby woman and Zhang Shou Yong's expressions went grim.
Both of them looked at each other and saw unwillingness in each other's eyes.
"Dammit! Why did he receive the news so quickly? "
The woman's voice transmission was filled with ruthlessness.
"Mother! I'm unresigned … If I'm able to obtain that spirit fruit, I'll surely be able to break through to the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage in one go! At that time, I'll surely be able to advance in the Dynasty Martial Competition and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties. "
Zhang Shou Yong's voice transmission was filled with unwillingness.
"Yes."
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch nodded when faced with Zhang Shou Yong's question, and with a raise of his hand, a spirit fruit that flowed with flowing lights appeared out of thin air.
Zhang Shou Yong's eyes lit up when he saw this spirit fruit.
On the other hand, the corners of Duan Lingtian who stood by Zhang Shou Yong's side curled into a bitter smile.
It was for no other reason.
It was because he'd seen this spirit fruit before.
Not only had he seen it before, he'd even consumed it.
Spirit Void Fruit!
That day, the Milky Way City's Treasure Gathering Pavilion's Master, Xiang Ying, had given him one of the two spirit fruits as an exchange.
When his cultivation was close to the second level of the Void Initiation Stage, it was because he'd consumed the Spirit Void Fruit that he was able to break through to the third level of the Void Initiation Stage in one go.
So to the current him, the Spirit Void Fruit was completely useless.
"But, Big Brother Zhang seems to have not consumed this Spirit Void Fruit."
At the same time that Duan Lingtian was greatly disappointed, he noticed Zhang Shou Yong's burning gaze as he looked at the Spirit Void Fruit, and it was a gaze that wished for nothing more than to possess the Spirit Void Fruit for himself.
But in next to no time, Duan Lingtian saw Zhang Shou Yong withdraw his gaze.
At the same time, a clear voice transmission sounded out by his ears.
"Brother Ling Tian, I'll give this spirit fruit to you after I obtain it … With the assistance of this spirit fruit, your cultivation will surely advance a step further."
It was precisely Zhang Shou Yong's voice transmission.
Duan Lingtian was stunned, completely and utterly stunned.
Just a moment ago, he'd discerned that Zhang Shou Yong hadn't consumed the Spirit Void Fruit in the past.
In the next moment, Zhang Shou Yong wanted to give the Spirit Void Fruit to him.
For a time, Duan Lingtian felt warmth in his heart.
"Big Brother Zhang is indeed a friend worth making."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
But Duan Lingtian had intentionally restrained his feelings now, and he said via voice transmission. "Big Brother Zhang, if I'm not wrong, you ought to not have consumed this spirit fruit in the past, right?"
"Yes."
Zhang Shou Yong didn't deny it, and he said bluntly via voice transmission. "I've consumed a spirit fruit used by Void Initiation Stage martial artists in the past, yet it wasn't this spirit fruit."
"Then you still want to give it to me? If you consume it yourself, you'll probably be able to break through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage in a short period of time, right? "
Duan Lingtian asked.
"This is my promise to you."
Zhang Shou Yong's answer was extremely simple and straightforward, and it caused the warmth in Duan Lingtian's heart to grow even more.
In the end, Duan Lingtian decided to stop teasing Zhang Shou Yong. "Big Brother Zhang, I'm afraid you won't be able to get your wish."
"Hmm?"
Zhang Shou Yong was stunned.
"I've once consumed a spirit fruit used by Void Initiation Stage martial artists as well … But my luck was better than yours, and the spirit fruit I consumed was this type of Spirit Void Fruit."
Duan Lingtian spoke via voice transmission.
At the same time, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch spoke out. "Yong, this is a Spirit Void Fruit, and it's able to improve the cultivation of a Void Initiation Stage martial artist to a certain extent … Once you consume this spirit fruit, you ought to be able to break through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage in a short period of time."
"Now, I'm prepared to give this spirit fruit to you … I hope you'll be able to win honor for my Zhang Clan and the Darkhan Dynasty in the Dynasty Martial Competition and even the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties!"
In the end, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch passed over the Spirit Void Fruit in his hand.
"Don't worry Father, I'll surely not let you down!"
Zhang Shou Yong took a deep breath and slowly stretched out his hand with the intention of receiving the Spirit Void Fruit.
At this moment, his feelings were extremely complicated.
He originally thought that this spirit fruit would be given to Duan Lingtian, yet never had he imagined that Duan Lingtian had actually consumed this spirit fruit in the past.
He had a feeling of recovering something he'd lost.
"Wait!"
But, right when Zhang Shou Yong was about to receive the Spirit Void Fruit, a figure flashed out and stopped Zhang Shou Yong.
The person that stopped Zhang Shou Yong was none other than the wife of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch.
"Second Mother?"
Zhang Shou Yong frowned and his face sank slightly.
Although he'd guessed that this Second Mother of his would surely be unwilling to allow him to obtain the Spirit Void Fruit, he never imagined that she would be so direct.
Now, his father had already made his stand clear, yet she actually still obstructed him?
This scene caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to refrain from being stunned.
"This vile woman wouldn't be thinking of seizing the Spirit Void Fruit for her son even at a time like this, right?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised and he didn't look favorably upon the woman.
Presently, the expression of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch was extremely unsightly as well.
His wife actually didn't give him face in front of outsiders …
For a time, slight rage appeared in the depths of his gaze.
"What're you doing?"
The tone of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch was incomparably gloomy.
His words were obviously spoken to the woman, his wife.
"I think that this Spirit Void Fruit shouldn't be given to him, but should be given to Yuan."
The woman turned around and looked at the Zhang Clan's Patriarch as she spoke frankly.
"Hmph!"
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch grunted coldly. "I know that Yuan is your son, so you're biased towards him at all times … But this matter is related to our Zhang Clan and our Darkhan Dynasty. How can a woman like you be allowed to act rashly?"
"I'm thinking for the sake of our Zhang Clan!"
The woman spoke word by word. "I know that his natural talent is shocking, and he's even broken through to the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage now. It isn't difficult for him to become eminent in the Dynasty Martial Competition … But it's precisely because of this that I feel that the Spirit Void Fruit shouldn't be given to him, but should be given to Yuan instead."
"Hmm?"
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch frowned and looked at the woman as he wanted to know why the woman said this.
