Along with Ye Lu making an appearance and the old man speaking, the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena went completely silent.
The gazes of many people descended onto Ye Lu in unison.
"This Ye Lu probably wants to challenge that young man from the Darkstone Empire."
"I think so as well … That young man is too young after all. Even if his cultivation isn't bad, the Concept he's comprehended ought to not be strong."
"Cultivation can be piled up with spirit fruits … But one can only rely on one's own Concept."
…
The surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena discussed animatedly.
When they heard the discussions of these people, besides Duan Lingtian, Su Li, and Long Yun, most of the people had similar thoughts.
Obviously, these people didn't know of the existence of Concept Fragments.
If it was said that spirit fruits were able to pile up a person's cultivation.
Then Concept Fragments were similarly able to pile up a person's comprehension of Concept.
"Forget about the other ninth level Void Initiation Stage young geniuses … I'm unconvinced of this young man from the Darkstone Empire! I want to challenge him! "
Sure enough, Ye Lu's gaze passed through the sky and flashed past the group of young geniuses from the Darkstone Empire before finally locking onto Duan Lingtian.
His eyes were filled with a strong will to fight!
Ye Lu's decision was something that many people present had already guessed earlier, so now that this outcome had come out, no one was surprised.
Right at this moment, the old man's gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, and he said slowly, "This young genius from the Darkstone Empire, please come out and compete with this young genius from the Ye Clan. Life and death will be decided!"
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian didn't waste his breath and directly left his seat to soar into the sky, and he arrived in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena in the blink of an eye to stand opposite Ye Lu.
"Are you sure you want to challenge me?"
Duan Lingtian looked silently at Ye Lu as he asked indifferently.
"What? You're afraid?"
Ye Lu started laughing.
"Afraid?"
Ye Lu's words caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to help but be stunned, and then he shook his head and laughed. "Perhaps there are many people in this world that are capable of causing me to be afraid … But you aren't amongst them."
"You'll change your opinion in a moment."
Ye Lu's tone was resolute, and his words were filled with confidence.
"Really?"
The smile on Duan Lingtian's face didn't change. Suddenly, his smile disappeared, and his face became incomparably cold. "I'll give you a chance … If you admit defeat now, it might not be too late."
"What? Are you so arrogant that you think you can kill me? "
Ye Lu laughed. His laughter grew louder and louder as if he had heard a great joke.
"Looks like you've already made your decision."
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
When the old man explained the rules of the second round of selection, he had already made up his mind.
No matter who it was, as long as they dared to challenge him, he would definitely kill them!
In this way, not only would he be able to free up a spot for Tian Wu and allow Tian Wu to have an even greater chance of obtaining the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, he would also be able to make an example to others and make others not dare underestimate him.
"Stop trying to be mysterious! Today, I won't kill you because you're Senior Wu Dao's son-in-law. However, I will still defeat you and break your spirit! "
Ye Lu shouted out with a grim voice as the clothes on his body fluttered without the wind.
At the same time, vast Origin Energy suffused Ye Lu's body to envelop his entire body, and it seemed as if he was within a ball of white colored flames.
Whoosh!
At the same time, the energy of the heavens and the earth roiled in the sky above Ye Lu as 11 ancient horned dragon silhouettes condensed into form with a vast impetus.
It wasn't just that, along with strands of blue colored energy leaping about within the Origin Energy on Ye Lu's body, another eight ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared in the sky.
"Eighth level Water Concept!"
Instantly, many people in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage and eighth level Water Concept didn't just test one's natural talent in the Martial Dao, it tested one's comprehension ability in the Martial Dao as well …
As far as many people were concerned, it was extremely rare for Ye Lu to be able to achieve this.
"No wonder he dared challenge this young man from the Darkstone Empire. So it turns out that he came prepared."
"Even though this young man is a ninth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist, the Concept he's comprehended is probably not even at the seventh level … It's very likely that he'll lose."
"If this Ye Clan's Ye Lu is able to defeat him, then it would really bring great honor to the Ye Clan."
"Looks like the Ye Clan is going to be in the limelight this time!"
…
Many people whispered in discussion in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena.
Most people were filled with confidence towards Ye Lu, and they didn't think that this young man, Duan Lingtian, would be able to compare to Ye Lu in terms of comprehension of Concept.
After all, Duan Lingtian was truly too young.
According to the train of thought of an ordinary person, they wouldn't feel that the Concept Duan Lingtian had comprehended was formidable.
At the same time that Ye Lu utilized his Origin Energy and eighth level Water Concept, a spear appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Whoosh!
The spear shook as his Origin Energy swiftly fused into it, and it was like a rock that had sunk into the sea.
Instantly, another six ancient horned dragon silhouettes and 3,800 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared in the sky above Ye Lu …
"Grade four spirit weapon!"
Instantly, many spectators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Of course, even more people weren't surprised.
Perhaps, with Ye Lu's status in the Ye Clan, it wasn't sufficient for him to possess a grade four spirit weapon. But today was the Dynasty Martial Competition, and it was related to the Ye Clan's face. So even if the Ye Clan had to lend it, it would lend a grade four spirit weapon to Ye Lu.
No matter if Ye Lu won or lost today, it was related to the Ye Clan's face and honor. So the Ye Clan couldn't be casual in this aspect no matter what.
"The strength of 25 ancient horned dragons and 3,800 ancient mammoths …"
As he looked at the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth that was caused by Ye Lu's full strength, Duan Lingtian's gaze was calm as he stood on the spot without moving like a mountain, and his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
"Ye Lu used his full strength as soon as he attacked … Looks like he doesn't dare underestimate this young man from the Darkstone Empire."
"On a stage like the Dynasty Martial Competition, no one dares be careless! Once one is careless, it's very likely that it would mean defeat. "
"Indeed."
…
Under the gazes of the crowd of spectators in the Cage Battle Arena, Ye Lu moved.
Ye Lu held his spear and flashed out as if he'd transformed into a bolt of lightning, and his speed was so swift that some spectators with low cultivations weren't even able to see Ye Lu's shadow.
On the other hand, in the eyes of the spectators with high cultivations, Ye Lu had flashed close to Duan Lingtian from the Darkstone Empire in the blink of an eye.
"Water Dragon Blast!"
Suddenly, an explosive shout sounded out in the silent Cage Battle Arena.
Under the gazes of everyone present, Ye Lu's figure stopped moving as the spear in his hand shook, and roiling Origin Energy roared out as eighth level Water Concept followed him like a shadow.
Swoosh!
Ye Lu's hand shook as the grade four spirit spear in his hand was coiled by Origin Energy that contained Water Concept, and it seemed to have transformed into a water dragon that pierced towards Duan Lingtian.
Instantly, the extremely terrifying force on the tip of the spear pressed down to the point the airflow in the air moved rhythmically, and it emitted a wave of low and deep sounds of air exploding. It was like the waves of dragon roars emitted by a water dragon.
"Your martial skill isn't bad … But unfortunately, you're too weak."
Right when many people broke out in cold sweat for Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian's indifferent voice slowly sounded out and spread throughout the entire Cage Battle Arena.
Right when most people couldn't help but be stunned.
Everyone saw that Duan Lingtian had moved. He didn't dodge but instead moved to intercept Ye Lu's grade four spirit spear that was like a water dragon leaving its lair.
"Is this Duan Lingtian courting death?"
Many people felt their scalps go numb when they saw this scene, and they felt that Duan Lingtian's actions were no different than committing suicide.
His spear flashed over menacingly, yet you're using your body to intercept it?
Isn't this courting death?
Of course, the gazes of many people lit up, and they seemed to have discerned Duan Lingtian's intentions.
"Since you're courting death, then you can't blame me!"
When he saw Duan Lingtian not only didn't dodge but had instead moved to intercept his spear, Ye Lu revealed a frenzied expression as the spirit spear in his hand trembled, and the condensed energy on the tip of the spear instantly exploded out.
This was the trump card of the high grade Earth Rank martial skill, Water Dragon Blast, that he'd executed. It utilized condensed energy to transform into a water dragon, and at the instant it approached his opponent, it would explode with a bang.
It utilized a formidable impact and even explosive force to heavily injure and even annihilate his opponent in one go!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
At practically the instant the energy on the tip of the grade four spirit spear in Ye Lu's hand exploded out, many people in the spectating area in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena stood up instinctively.
"Duan Lingtian …"
Amongst them, there was no lack of people that Duan Lingtian knew.
For example, King Yong, Xiang Ying, and Su Li.
Of course, there were also people that knew Duan Lingtian that still maintained their composure, as if they were filled with confidence towards Duan Lingtian.
For example, Feng Wu Dao, Elder Kong, and Zhang Shou Yong.
"If he can't even defeat this Ye Lu … then this Duan Lingtian doesn't have the qualifications to be my opponent."
The corners of Second Prince Bai He's mouth curled into a wisp of a cold smile.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Zi Shang stared fixedly at the scene before him, and he seemed as if he wasn't willing to miss a single detail.
He wanted to see to what extent his enemy of the past had grown to now.
Under the gazes of everyone present.
At the instant the energy on the tip of the grade four spirit spear in Ye Lu's hand exploded out with a bang, Duan Lingtian made a move.
People with high cultivations were able to see a violet colored sword light flash by with a raise of Duan Lingtian's hand.
In the next moment.
Clang!
An ear piercing sound of metal colliding abruptly resounded out and spread throughout the Cage Battle Arena, causing the faces of many spectators with low cultivations to flush red, and some even bled from their seven apertures as they cried out loudly.
Subsequently, many people saw Duan Lingtian seem to have appeared out of thin air behind Ye Lu.
Right when they were surprised and bewildered.
Whoosh!
The grade four spirit spear in Ye Lu's hand instantly left his hand and fell down to the ground.
