As soon as the middle aged elder spoke, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
"I think so as well."
"I agree."
…
Most of the remaining elders nodded in agreement.
As far as they were concerned.
With the current cultivation of the Second Young Master, Zhang Shou Yuan, once he consumed the Spirit Void Fruit, breaking through to the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage before the Dynasty Martial Competition was practically a certainty.
Whereas a seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artist still had a very great chance of becoming eminent in the Dynasty Martial Competition and obtaining the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
On the other hand, it was slightly difficult for the Second Young Master, Zhang Shou Yong.
The Void Interpretation Stage wasn't purely a problem in terms of Origin Energy, and more importantly, it was comprehension in terms of Concept.
If one didn't comprehend Concept to a certain extent, then no matter how strong one's Origin Energy was, one would be unable to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage.
If one wanted to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage, besides having to satisfy the conditions of Origin Energy, more importantly, one had to first comprehend Void Interpretation Concept, or in other words, Intermediate Concept.
This was often the most difficult thing to do.
Under such comparison and when they thought about how the Second Young Master, Zhang Shou Yuan, would be the future Patriarch of the Zhang Clan, the group of elders already had an idea in their hearts.
They imperceptibly leaned towards the Second Young Master.
When she saw most of the elders leaning towards her son, the woman that stood at the side, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch's wife, revealed a victorious smile as she glanced complacently at Zhang Shou Yong once more.
Zhang Shou Yong's face revealed a smile as well, and he feigned modesty. "Elders, you're too kind."
Right at this moment.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort suddenly sounded out, and it broke the clamorous atmosphere at the scene.
In an instant, the atmosphere became silent, not a single sound could be heard.
The gazes of everyone descended onto the person that snorted coldly ….
The person that snorted coldly was none other than Zhang Shou Yong who stood by Duan Lingtian's side.
For a time, many Zhang Clan elders frowned and were slightly displeased.
"The Eldest Young Master has been out for a period of time, yet he's becoming more and more ignorant of the rules …."
Some elders that were over 100 years old spoke indifferently.
Their tones contained a great sense of reproach.
When the nearby Patriarch's wife and Zhang Shou Yuan saw this scene, the smiles on their faces became even more brilliant, and they felt that Zhang Shou Yong was' courting death. '
It would be strange if an elder would vote Zhang Shou Yong!
"Yong 'er."
Seeing that Zhang Shou Yong had angered quite a few elders, the Zhang Family Patriarch frowned in confusion.
From what he knew of his eldest son.
His eldest son was not an impulsive person.
"Elders."
Zhang Shou Yong glanced indifferently at the group of Zhang Clan elders and spoke unhurriedly. "I see that all of you don't have much confidence towards me being able to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties after I consume the Spirit Void Fruit."
"Or perhaps, it is time for me to give you some confidence!"
Zhang Shou Yong suddenly changed the topic.
Just as Zhang Shou Yong finished speaking, a voice rang out.
Whoosh!
On Zhang Shouyuan's body, strands of material and clearly visible earthen yellow colored energy coiled around his body, and it emitted strands of a powerful aura.
At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Energy in the sky stirred and finally condensed into nine silhouettes of ancient horned dragons.
The strength of nine ancient horned dragons!
"Ninth … ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth!"
A white-browed elder was the first to react, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
Soon after, more and more people reacted.
Including Duan Lingtian.
"Ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth?"
Duan Lingtian stared fixedly at Zhang Shou Yong who was by his side, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Now, he finally understood Zhang Shou Yong's intentions.
So it turned out that Zhang Shou Yong had always been waiting for the arrival of this moment.
He wanted to use his own strength to prove himself!
If he consumed the Spirit Void Fruit, he would surely be able to smoothly break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties!
"Big Brother Zhang's ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth seems to not have just been comprehended … Obviously, it shows signs of approaching the Intermediate Concept of Earth."
Duan Lingtian who'd inherited the memories of Emperor Wu of Samsara had a discerning gaze, and he noticed with a single glance that the ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth that Zhang Shou Yong had comprehended wasn't simple.
"Good … Good!"
After being stunned for a moment, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch shouted out explosively, and his face was filled with excitement.
"The fortune of my Zhang Clan! The fortune of my Zhang Clan! "
"With the Eldest Young Master in the Zhang Clan, why worry about prosperity?"
…
In next to no time, many Zhang Clan elders turned to flatter Zhang Shou Yong.
Some of the Zhang Clan elders amongst them were siding with Zhang Shou Yong a moment ago, yet at this moment, they were like grass that swayed with the wind.
They'd never imagined earlier.
Zhang Shou Yong's cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage, yet he'd actually comprehended ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth.
"Looks like our Zhang Clan is going to be in the limelight on the stage of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties this time!"
A white haired white browed elder couldn't help but speak with pleasant surprise.
The Patriarch's wife and Zhang Shou Yong stood at the side, and they were stunned on the spot.
The smiles on their faces had completely frozen long ago, and in the depths of their eyes, slight disbelief and shock seemed to be mixed within.
Never had they imagined that not only was Zhang Shou Yong's natural talent high, even his comprehension ability was so heaven defying …
He'd actually comprehended ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth!
"Elders, we can vote now … Let's see who this Spirit Void Fruit should be given to."
The voice of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch sounded out in a timely manner.
At this moment, the outcome was already without any suspense.
After Zhang Shou Yong, the Eldest Young Master of the Zhang Clan revealed his ninth level Elementary Concept of Earth, he'd obtained the support of all the Zhang Clan elders.
Everyone hoped that he'd consume the Spirit Void Fruit and break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, so that he'd be able to fight for extremely great honor for the Zhang Clan during the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
"Big Brother Zhang, congratulations."
When he saw the Spirit Void Fruit being obtained by Zhang Shou Yong, Duan Lingtian congratulated via voice transmission.
"Brother Ling Tian, I've caused you to worry … I'm truly sorry."
Zhang Shou Yong spoke apologetically.
"It's fine, it's fine as long as you've obtained the Spirit Void Fruit."
Duan Lingtian shook his head, and then he glanced at the night sky that had completely darkened as he said, "But it's already late now, and I ought to leave as well … Let's meet again during the Dynasty Martial Competition."
Zhang Shou Yong sent Duan Lingtian out as he said with a smile, "Perhaps I don't have to wait for the Dynasty Martial Competition … Perhaps I'll be able to find the Ageless Root you require or a spirit fruit used by Void Initiation Stage martial artists in a few days."
"That couldn't be any better."
At the entrance to the Zhang Clan Estate, Duan Lingtian revealed a brilliant smile as he bid his farewells before leaving.
Zhang Shou Yong only turned around and returned to the estate when he saw Duan Lingtian's figure vanish before his eyes.
At the other side of the Zhang Clan Estate.
"All of you, find a good opportunity and do it cleanly … I want to vanish from the face of others. Be sure not to leave any traces behind! "
The middle aged woman spoke with a low voice to the three black clothed middle aged men before her.
"Yes, Madam."
The three black clothed middle aged men nodded respectfully, and their eyes flickered with frightening cold lights.
"Go on!"
Along with the middle aged woman waving her hand, the figures of the three black clothed middle aged men flashed out to vanish into the night like three ghosts in the night.
"Mother."
In next to no time, a young man appeared by the side of the middle aged woman, and his eyes flickered with cold lights. "Can the three of them do it? That Duan Lingtian is extremely strange … Last time, after I was struck by his demonic technique, I didn't feel anything was off from the beginning until the end. "
"The strengths of the three of them are above us … It ought to not be difficult for them to kill that Duan Lingtian."
The middle aged woman was extremely confident towards the three black clothed middle aged men she sent out.
The young man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, yet the cold light in his eyes didn't reduce. "If that Duan Lingtian dies, then my anger will vanish … But, it's a pity that the Spirit Void Fruit was obtained by Zhang Shou Yong."
"With Zhang Shou Yong's natural talent and comprehension ability, it ought to not be difficult for him to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties after consuming the Spirit Void Fruit … Fortunately, he has no intention of obtaining the position of Patriarch, otherwise, he would be a formidable opponent for you."
The middle aged woman heaved a sigh of relief.
On the other side, after Duan Lingtian returned to the nearby Darkstone Estate that the Darkstone Empire had purchased in the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital, he suddenly became vigilant.
"Three people?"
At the first possible moment, his acute Spiritual Force and anti-tracking instinct had noticed three people that were hiding in the shadows and spying on him.
But when he walked into the Darkstone Estate, those three people didn't follow him.
"Who could it be?"
After Duan Lingtian returned to the Darkstone Estate and returned to his own small courtyard, he couldn't help but ponder deeply.
"Logically speaking, I didn't offend anyone after coming to the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital … If there's really someone that has enmity with me, then it would only be the Zhang Clan's Second Young Master, Zhang Shou Yuan, and the Patriarch's wife."
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian guessed it was Zhang Shou Yuan and his wife, and he became more and more sure.
"Ignore them … In any case, those three fellows ought to not have the guts to forcefully trespass into the Darkstone Estate."
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian didn't think any further, and he sat cross-legged on the bed before closing his eyes and continuing to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Earth Dragon Form!
A Concept Fragment and a mid grade Origin Stone appeared out of thin air in Duan Lingtian's hand …
The Concept Fragment was precisely the fifth level Wind Concept Fragment he'd obtained in the Sword Monarch's Treasure all those years ago, and it was capable of assisting him in comprehending Wind Concept until he comprehended fifth level Advanced Wind Concept.
During this period of time, his comprehension of Wind Concept would advance by leaps and bounds because of this Concept Fragment.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
Presently, only a month remained before the Dynasty Martial Competition.
"I've finally broken through!"
When Duan Lingtian woke up once more, his face was filled with excitement and joy.
There seemed to be strands of Origin Energy leaping about in his surroundings before completely fusing into his body in the end …
During this period of time, the eight ancient horned dragon silhouettes in the sky had gradually dispersed.
Sixth level of the Void Initiation Stage!
Duan Lingtian had broken through to the sixth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
"I'm going out for a walk."
After cultivating for an entire three months, Duan Lingtian was almost bored to death. After three months, Duan Lingtian left the Darkstone Estate once more.
"They're still there?"
