The possessor of the number 30 token was a young man around the age of 35.
Needless to say, the young geniuses of the various Empires that were able to stand here today were top genius martial artists in their respective Empires, and they had their own arrogance.
Duan Lingtian's opponent was no exception.
"You're that kid that had a bye in the first round?"
The young man had an arrogant expression as he sized up Duan Lingtian from above, and he asked with disdain.
However, Duan Lingtian paid no attention to the young man.
Or perhaps, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the young man.
After he used his Spiritual Force to detect the young man's cultivation, Duan Lingtian had already completely disregarded the young man.
A fifth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist didn't pose the slightest threat to him now.
"This kid is rather arrogant!"
The young man's face sank when he saw Duan Lingtian dared disregard him, and his eyes emitted a ruthless sheen as he said with a low voice, "Do you know that no one has ever dared disregard me like this?"
"Then there will be one today."
Duan Lingtian still didn't look at the young man, and he straightened his sleeve as he spoke unhurriedly.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
The young man's face went grim as the Origin Energy on his body soared, and it seemed to have transformed into flames that whistled out.
Whoosh!
In the sky, the energy of the heavens and the earth roiled before converging into seven ancient horned dragon silhouettes in the end …
All of this undoubtedly displayed the young man's cultivation.
Fifth level of the Void Initiation Stage!
If it wasn't for the white clothed young man that was in charge of presiding over the Dynasty Martial Competition today hadn't announced the start, the young man would have already impatiently made a move against Duan Lingtian.
At this moment.
In the spectating area where the group of people from the Darkstone Empire sat, the gazes of everyone had converged onto Duan Lingtian …
Especially the representatives of King Yong and Windfall Empire, they even stared at Duan Lingtian with burning gazes.
All of them wanted to know what cultivation Duan Lingtian possessed now.
He was actually able to make Long Yun who had already broken through to the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage think so highly of him.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Long Yun stared at Duan Lingtian and took a deep breath. He was also eager to know Duan Lingtian's current cultivation.
Besides defeating Su Li and winning honor for his master, his goal was to defeat Duan Lingtian and wash away the humiliation of the past.
If he could, he would kill the Duan Lingtian after defeating the Duan Lingtian.
It was to prevent Duan Lingtian from looking for trouble with the Azure Forest Tri-Sect in the future.
Amongst the three great Sect Leaders of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect, the person that was originally the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Sect Leader was his foster father, and he was greatly indebted to him.
He didn't want to put his foster father in danger.
"I can finally see you in action."
As Su Li muttered to himself, his face was filled with anticipation.
On the other hand, the lower class spectating area in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena was in an uproar at this moment. "It's that young man that was lucky enough to advance in the first round of the selections."
"This young man should be the youngest among all the young geniuses from the various empires present today, right?"
"That's right! He was indeed the youngest. He looks to be around the age of 25 at most. "
"He's from some Empire? Could it be that there's no one in the younger generation of that Empire? "
…
These spectators in the lower class spectating area were unable to see the situation in the middle class spectating area.
"It's someone from the Darkstone Empire again!"
Some of the representatives from other Empires in the middle class spectating area knew of Duan Lingtian's origins.
This time, the Darkstone Empire had sent two young geniuses at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above.
It was difficult to not draw their attention.
"Kid, if you're sensible, then quickly admit defeat … Otherwise, once the martial competition begins, I'll tear you into two!"
Duan Lingtian's opponent, the young man, had a slightly savage expression, and his eyes even flickered with a scarlet red sheen that seemed ready to swallow Duan Lingtian up.
"Tear me into two?"
Duan Lingtian started laughing. "That will depend on if you have the ability."
"You'll see in a moment."
Even though Duan Lingtian's composure caused the young man to faintly feel uneasy.
But this trace of uneasiness vanished when he saw Duan Lingtian's young appearance.
He didn't think that a young man around the age of 25 would be a match for a fifth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist like him …
Duan Lingtian was actually deliberately mystifying himself.
He believed that so long as the white clothed young man that presided over the Cage Battle Arena announced the start of the martial competition, this young man would surely admit defeat at the first possible moment.
Whereas he would strive to tear Duan Lingtian into two in that instant!
He was a man of his word.
"The martial competition begins!"
After the 20 young geniuses took their places, the white clothed young man spoke out.
Instantly, many young geniuses made a move and chose to gain the initiative by striking first.
Amongst them included Duan Lingtian's opponent.
Duan Lingtian's opponent flashed towards Duan Lingtian at the instant the white clothed young man finished speaking, and he was like a falcon that was hunting its prey.
In the sky, another eight ancient horned dragon silhouettes and a few thousand ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared at the side of the seven ancient horned dragon silhouettes …
Obviously, Duan Lingtian's opponent wasn't only a fifth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist, he'd also comprehended fifth level Concept and possessed a grade five spirit weapon.
Hiss!
The young man's right hand tightly held onto the spirit weapon's sharp claw as it tore through the sky and gave rise to a wave of light howls of the wind that were slightly ear piercing.
His figure flashed like the wind, and he arrived before Duan Lingtian in the blink of an eye.
He attacked like a bolt of lightning, and the grade five spirit weapon contained raging Origin Energy and fifth level Concept that followed like a shadow as it flashed out to directly strike towards Duan Lingtian's head.
When faced with the full force attack of this fifth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist, Duan Lingtian's expression was calm as before.
When he saw his opponent's sharp claw flashing over.
Duan Lingtian moved.
Sword Drawing Arts!
He didn't move, but he raised his hand and lightly shook it.
The violet colored sword light that few people present were able to see clearly flashed before vanishing, and it seemed to have transformed into a highly venomous crimson snake that fiercely bit onto the young man's neck.
Swoosh!
Along with the sword light vanishing, the surrounding spectators didn't even have the time to react when Duan Lingtian had already put away the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword in his hand and kicked out.
Bang!
Before the young man's sharp claw had even approached him, Duan Lingtian kicked onto the young man's chest and kicked him flying.
At this moment, the young man didn't move in the slightest and allowed Duan Lingtian to kick him flying.
If one looked carefully, one would notice that it wasn't that he didn't want to move.
It was that he'd already breathed his last.
An extremely fine sword mark had appeared on his throat, and dazzling and resplendent fresh blood was ceaselessly gushing out from it …
A fifth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist was killed by Duan Lingtian in a single move.
"Number 32 is victorious!"
The middle aged man that was in charge of recording the results was stunned, and then he recovered from his shock before announcing.
"So strong!"
"Killing a fifth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist in a single move … Is this really a young man around the age of 25?"
…
The group of people that originally thought that Duan Lingtian would lose for sure were dumbstruck.
"Why are there so many young experts in the Darkstone Empire?"
Many representatives of the Empires couldn't help but frown, as they never imagined that such formidable young geniuses would appear successively in the Darkstone Empire.
As far as they were concerned, the strength of this violet clothed young man seemed to not be inferior to the other two young geniuses of the Darkstone Empire that were at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above.
"As expected!"
The representative of the Windfall Empire, Old Man Liu, sighed.
On the other hand, even though King Yong was mentally prepared since long ago, he was still shocked. "This Duan Lingtian … His strength is actually so strong?"
"This fellow seems to still be holding back."
Su Li's slanted brows raised as he thought to himself.
"Duan Lingtian …" Long Yun's expression was solemn.
He didn't see Duan Lingtian's attack clearly earlier, and it allowed him to realize that his strength seemed to be slightly inferior to Duan Lingtian.
This caused him to be extremely displeased!
"I wonder what my odds are."
When faced with the numerous burning gazes, Duan Lingtian completely disregarded them, and his figure flashed out as if transforming into a violet bolt of lightning that flashed out directly.
But this time, he didn't return to the location of the group from the Darkstone Empire, and he instead headed directly towards the first-class spectating area.
His actions caused many people to be stunned.
That place doesn't seem to be a place that anyone can go up, right?
Even the white clothed young man that presided over the Cage Battle Arena couldn't help but slightly glance over.
When he saw Duan Lingtian sitting by the side of the three Feng Clan members, slight surprise appeared on the white clothed young man's face. "He's from a tiny Empire, yet he actually knows Feng Wu Dao?"
"Tian Wu, how much did you earn?"
Duan Lingtian sat by Feng Tianwu's side and asked impatiently.
Feng Tianwu was stunned, and then she realized what Duan Lingtian was talking about, and for a time, she couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Elder Brother Duan, the Cage Battle Arena hasn't opened the bet yet … The bet will only be opened during the third round of the selections."
The third round of the selections has only begun?
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and only now did he realize that he was too impatient.
Duan Lingtian smiled embarrassedly, and then he bid his farewells to Feng Wu Dao and Elder Kong before returning to the spectating area where the group from the Darkstone Empire sat and sat by Su Li's side.
"Duan Lingtian, you even know the people sitting in the first-class spectating area?"
The representative of the Holdwind Empire, the old man surnamed Liu, looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with surprise.
"I can be considered to know them."
Duan Lingtian nodded casually.
I can be considered to know them?
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched. What sort of answer is this?
After Duan Lingtian sat down, he could notice that many gazes were still on him, and they didn't withdraw their gazes for a long time.
This caused him to be speechless.
Fortunately, after another period of time, those gazes moved away successively from him, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
The feeling of being looked at like a monkey was extremely unpleasant.
Meanwhile, the outcome of the other 18 young geniuses had been decided successively …
The 10 people including Duan Lingtian had become the first to advance in the second round of the selections.
On the other hand, Gao Yu Hai who'd entered the arena with Duan Lingtian had been eliminated instead.
Subsequently, the second round of the selections continued.
Because the people that participated in the second round of the selections were only half of the people that participated in the first round of the selections, so the second round of the selections ended quickly.
On the side of the Darkstone Empire, only Duan Lingtian, Su Li, and Long Yun had advanced.
As for the side of the Holdwind Empire, only two people remained, and they were the two strongest sixth level Void Initiation Stage martial artists amongst the young geniuses of the Holdwind Empire.
"The second round of the selections has ended. Rest for 15 minutes … The third round of the selections will continue after 15 minutes!"
