The Emperor had a certain level of understanding towards Zi Shang.
He knew that Zi Shang was the personal disciple of his Imperial Uncle, and Zi Shang's natural talent wasn't bad, but it was merely not bad.
In the entire Darkhan Dynasty, there were numerous young geniuses with natural talent that wasn't inferior to Zi Shang.
Sometimes, even the Emperor was unable to wrap his head around why his Imperial Uncle didn't choose the group of outstanding young geniuses in the Darkhan Dynasty and instead chose a young genius from a remote Imperial Kingdom like Zi Shang to be his personal disciple.
But now, he suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were undoubtedly wrong.
At this moment, Zi Shang revealed a cultivation that wasn't inferior to his son and nephew. "Ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage … Zi Shang has actually broken through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage as well!"
"Imperial Uncle, what exactly is going on? How could Zi Shang's cultivation catch up to He and Hao in such a short period of time? "
The Emperor looked at the black clothed old man and took a deep breath before asking curiously.
"I don't know as well."
The black clothed old man shook his head, yet slight excitement seemed to appear in the depths of his eyes.
Truthfully speaking, even he had never expected that Zi Shang would reveal such a formidable cultivation, and he felt pleasantly surprised from the bottom of his heart.
"Looks like the prophecy of the Lord Priest all those years ago wasn't wrong … My personal disciple is from the distant Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom! Zi Shang is the personal disciple I'm bound to inherit. "
The black clothed old man's mood surged.
All those years ago, the Feng Clan's Lord Priest, the grandmother of the Feng Clan's Eldest Master and Patriarch, had once divined his destiny for him.
During the process of divining his destiny, the Lord Priest had given him a prophecy.
According to the guidance of the prophecy, he'd head to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom at a specific time and just happened to encounter Zi Shang … It was precisely because of this that he'd taken Zi Shang as his personal disciple long ago.
Even if Zi Shang's later performance couldn't be considered to be outstanding, but so long as he thought of the Lord Priest's prophecy, he would once again devote himself to teaching Zi Shang.
He believed that the Lord Priest's prophecy wouldn't be made without reason.
Yet now it would seem that the prophecy had come true, and the personal disciple he'd taken from the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom was extremely outstanding. "The Lord Priest is truly godly! Perhaps, she knew since long ago that Zi Shang would have such a day. "
Truthfully speaking, he was slightly perturbed in the beginning when he took Zi Shang as his personal disciple.
In particular, the suspicious gazes around him made him doubt whether his decision was correct.
However, he persevered in the end.
Facts proved that his persistence was correct.
"Even Imperial Uncle, you don't know?"
The Emperor was slightly surprised, and then he guessed. "Looks like Zi Shang has probably obtained some fortuitous encounters recently … Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to catch up to He'er and Hao'er in such a short period of time."
"Perhaps."
The black-clothed old man nodded and declined to comment.
His gaze slowly descended onto the violet clothed young man, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "This Duan Lingtian is the youngest amongst the young geniuses present … He seems to have already broken through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage."
In the end, the old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he was slightly fearful.
"Ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage? This brat hid it really deeply! "
On the spectating area that belonged to the Feng Clan, Feng Wu Dao shook his head, and his gaze was extremely complicated.
At this moment, the expression of Elder Kong who sat at the side was slightly stunned as well.
As for the Feng Clan's Patriarch, he was completely dumbstruck instead. "This … This Duan Lingtian is a ninth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist? He's even stronger than Yun Xiang? He … How old is he? "
Unknowingly, the gazes of most people in the Cage Battle Arena had descended onto the violet colored figure in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena in unison.
It was a violet clothed young man with slanted brows, starry eyes, and a handsome appearance.
Of course, if it was only his outstanding appearance, it wasn't sufficient to make him the center of attention …
After all, he wasn't the only handsome young man in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena.
What was most attractive about him was his calm and composed demeanor, as well as his frighteningly young face in such an occasion.
"This young man from the Darkstone Empire … In terms of age, amongst the over 100 young geniuses in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena, only Lord Wu Dao's daughter is younger than him."
Someone couldn't help but speak with surprise.
"Now, including him, there are less than 10 people that are able to maintain their composure, and it's even to the extent that they haven't even released their Origin Energy … Amongst these people, his age is undoubtedly the youngest."
"His natural talent in the Martial Dao is truly too terrifying!"
"I originally thought that amongst the younger generation of our Darkhan Dynasty, people like the Second Prince, the Eldest Young Master of the Zhang Clan, and the Eldest Young Master of the Yeh clan are already the most outstanding figures … Now it would seem that I've been viewing the sky from the bottom of a well."
"Yeah, besides these three people, there are many dark horses this time … Firstly, it's this young man from the Darkstone Empire. Secondly, it's that white clothed young man that presided over the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition yesterday. He ought to be a Young Prince … The last one wore white clothes and seemed to be a member of the Imperial Family as well."
"The Second Prince and the other two white clothed young men … They're all people that the Imperial Family has recommended this time!"
"This time, the Imperial Family is going to gain a great deal of face."
…
The entire Cage Battle Arena was seething with excitement, and it was like a market.
Right at this moment, the two old men that towered above all the young geniuses looked at each other and nodded before exerting their strength once more.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Instantly, two extremely formidable Origin Energy flames skyrocketed once more on the two old men, and they seemed to have transformed into circle after circle of white colored ripples that swept out towards the surroundings with the two old men at the center.
For a time, violent winds blew out in the Cage Battle Arena, and some martial artists with low cultivations were even forced to close their eyes.
Bang!
With the two old men at the center, the Origin Energy ripples that ceaselessly spread out collided together in the end, and they formed an extremely formidable pressure that swept down to envelop all the young geniuses.
Instantly, the pressure on the young geniuses present increased greatly.
"AH!"
"No!"
…
Instantly, waves of shrill cries sounded out as another 10 plus young geniuses were suppressed to the point of falling down from the sky and being miserably eliminated.
At this moment, even Duan Ling Tian had a solemn expression on his face.
On the other hand, Zhang Shou Yong and the others were the same.
Even up until now, all the ninth level Void Initiation Stage young geniuses including Duan Lingtian still hadn't utilized their Origin Energy to resist the pressure that came from the two old men.
But the spirits of everyone were strained as they became solemn, and they weren't carefree like they were before.
Obviously, they'd felt a certain level of pressure as well.
On the other hand, the young geniuses at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage like Su Li, Feng Yun Xiang, and the other young geniuses at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage like Feng Tian Wu and Long Yun Yi had already increased the activation of their Origin Energy to resist the pressure that descended from the sky.
Their movements were extremely relaxed, and it was as if they didn't feel too much pressure.
"Besides the ninth level Void Initiation Stage and eighth level Void Initiation Stage martial artists, a few seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artists ought to be able to remain in the final 20 people to advance."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he looked at Feng Tianwu and encouraged via voice transmission. "Tian Wu, good luck!"
Feng Tianwu looked at Duan Lingtian and nodded lightly, and the depths of her bright beautiful eyes contained extreme firmness mixed within.
Duan Lingtian smiled.
He was extremely confident towards Tian Wu.
Even though Tian Wu's cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage, the Concept she comprehended was far from something an ordinary seventh level Void Initiation Stage martial artist could compare to.
Tian Wu was a possessor of the Fire Spirit Body, and she possessed an innate tacit understanding towards Fire Concept, causing her to comprehend it extremely quickly.
Bang!
Another enormous bang sounded out, and it was the second circle of ripples that were emitted from the Origin Energy on the two old men that collided with a bang.
For a time, the waves of air in the sky covered the heavens and the earth as it swept down once more, and another extremely strong pressure fiercely pressed down onto the group of young geniuses.
Subsequently, there were many people that were eliminated.
Meanwhile, the Origin Energy on Duan Lingtian's body suffused out to form an Origin Energy light barrier that enveloped him within it.
No matter how the pressure from the two old men increased greatly, Duan Lingtian didn't move like a mountain.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
At the same time, Zhang Shou Yong, Zi Shang, Ye Xiao, Bai Hao, and Bai He successively held up Origin Energy light barriers to resist the enormous pressure that descended from the sky.
Instantly, 12 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared in the sky above Duan Lingtian's group of six …
The appearance of 72 ancient horned dragon silhouettes at the same time could be said to be magnificent.
"Six ninth level Void Initiation Stage martial artists!"
A portion of the people present had already guessed the cultivations of Duan Lingtian's group, but there was also a portion of people that were completely unaware. At this moment, when they saw the cultivations revealed by Duan Lingtian's group, all of them were greatly shocked.
"Looks like the Dynasty Martial Competition today will surely be extremely interesting … Supposedly, besides competing for the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, the group of young geniuses of our Darkhan Dynasty will also decide on their specific rankings and win the various rewards issued by the Imperial Family."
Some people that were well-informed couldn't help but reveal.
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire Cage Battle Arena seethed with excitement once more, and sharp cries of excitement rose and fell without end.
In this way, it also meant that every single person present had the opportunity to see the battle between the top young geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty!
How could they not be excited by this?
"They still want to decide on their specific rankings?"
Duan Lingtian heard the discussions in the spectating area of the Cage Battle Arena clearly, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
He originally thought that the Darkhan Dynasty's Dynasty Martial Competition would be like the Young Genius Competition of the Darkstone Empire and the Genius Competition of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, and it would only decide on the strongest young geniuses, and there was no need to decide on their specific rankings.
Now it would seem that he'd guessed wrongly.
