In next to no time, the gazes of many Inscription Masters descended onto an old man on the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Feng Clan.
Elder Kong couldn't help but be stunned when faced with the questions of these Inscription Masters via voice transmission.
"Brother Duan, did you utilize your Spiritual Force to execute some sort of ability earlier?"
Actually, Elder Kong had noticed Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force that enveloped Bai Hao earlier, but he didn't know exactly what Duan Lingtian had done.
Subconsciously, he felt that Bai Hao's' abnormality 'ought to be related to Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force.
As an Inscription Master at the Void Interpretation Stage, he asked himself honestly that even if it was him, he didn't have any ability to utilize his Spiritual Force to directly interfere with another.
So he felt that there was surely a reason behind this abnormality, and the problem was Duan Lingtian.
"It's similar to Zi Shang, a secret technique he's born with."
Elder Kong's voice transmission sounded out, and Duan Lingtian didn't hesitate in the slightest to speak of the excuse he'd prepared since long ago.
Elder Kong was first stunned when he heard this, and then he scolded via voice transmission. "Do you think I'd believe you?"
"Is it important if you believe me or not?"
Duan Lingtian replied with a question.
Elder Kong was stunned when he heard this.
Right, is it important?
Now, it was obviously Duan Lingtian that was unwilling to say anything, and if Duan Lingtian didn't say anything, then it would be utterly impossible for him to know the truth.
But Elder Kong didn't continue investigating, and he replied to the Inscription Masters one by one via voice transmission instead. "I know a little about this ability of Duan Lingtian's … It's a secret technique he's born with."
Elder Kong's words caused the group of Inscription Masters to be stunned.
A secret technique again?
Moreover, it's born with as well?
For a time, all the Inscription Masters looked at each other and seemed to be asking each other.
Do you believe me?
But even if they didn't believe it, they had no choice because they were utterly unable to explain exactly what ability Duan Lingtian had utilized earlier.
"Demonic technique!"
On the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family, unlike the Emperor, the black clothed old man, and Bai He that were stunned, Zi Yan's beautiful face went grim, and her beautiful eyes were filled with terror.
She had personally experienced Duan Lingtian's' witchcraft 'and knew very well how terrifying it was.
"Brother …"
Instantly, Zi Yan looked at Zi Shang who stood in the distant sky and spoke via voice transmission with slight worry. "The demonic technique of this Duan Lingtian is too terrifying! In front of him, Prince Hao actually had no power to fight back. "
"Yan 'er, there's no need to worry … Earlier, wasn't Bai Hao similarly without the slightest strength to retaliate before me?"
Zi Shang shook his head lightly as he consoled Zi Yan via voice transmission, and his tone was filled with confidence.
Hearing this, Zi Yan thought of her brother's methods and let out a sigh of relief. However, her beautiful eyes still revealed a bit of worry.
"Ghost Elder … You're saying that this Duan Lingtian used a soul skill just now?"
Zi Shang stared coldly at Duan Lingtian. With a single thought, he reached the depths of his mind, as if he was trying to communicate with something.
"Yes."
The ghastly and aged voice sounded out abruptly and resounded in Zi Shang's mind. "Although I don't know why a human kid like him is able to execute a soul skill that's similar to a Spiritual Force attack before the Emperor Wu Realm … But I can be sure that he used an illusory realm soul skill to affect Bai Hao earlier, and that's why he was able to defeat Bai Hao in one go."
"Illusory realm soul skill? What's that? "
Zi Shang was slightly shocked in his heart.
"An illusory realm soul skill is a soul skill that utilizes Spiritual Force to construct an illusory space. With a single thought, one is able to seal one within the illusory space and be at the mercy of the user."
The ghastly and aged voice sounded out once more.
Zi Shang's pupils constricted as he gasped in his heart. "In this way, when I carried out the battle of the two year agreement with him in the Seven Star Sword Sect that day, he utilized this illusory realm soul skill to cause me to be in such a sorry state … Moreover, he even caused others to think that I'd gone mad!"
When he recalled the scene that occurred on the life and death arena at the peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Dubhe Peak all those years ago, Zi Shang's face went completely gloomy.
At that time, he thought that Duan Lingtian had executed some sort of demonic technique.
Yet never had he imagined that it was actually an illusory realm soul skill.
"Elder Ghost."
Zi Shang's tone contained slight fear. "Duan Lingtian is able to execute such a terrifying soul skill. Doesn't that mean that I'll lose the battle with him for sure? I'm unwilling! "
As he finished speaking, Zi Shang had an unwilling expression.
"Hmph! Do you really think that illusory realm soul skill is invincible in the world? "
The ghastly and aged voice grunted in a low voice, and then it continued. "An illusory realm soul skill is only effective against a person whose Spiritual Force is inferior to or similar to the person's Spiritual Force and isn't an Inscription Master."
"So long as you allow me to temporarily control your body, then my incomplete soul will fuse into your soul … At that time, even though your Spiritual Force is unable to compare to my prime, it would far surpass this kid's second level Void Interpretation Stage Spiritual Force, and his soul skill would be utterly unable to be of any use against you."
As he finished speaking, the ghastly and aged voice was filled with disdain.
Zi Shang was instantly overjoyed when he heard this. "Since it's like this, then I'll trouble you, Elder Ghost."
"Remember your promise to me … Otherwise, even if I, Ghost Flame, risk the destruction of my incomplete soul, I won't let you have an easy time! You ought to know that I have the ability. "
Suddenly, the ghastly and aged voice changed to a threatening tone.
"Yes, yes."
Zi Shang hurriedly replied, and he didn't dare dally in the slightest.
Even though it was only a strand of an incomplete soul that was concealed in the depths of his mind that was unable to seize control of his body, but he was clearly aware of the origins and ability of this incomplete soul.
He knew that this was an extremely terrifying figure, and it was a double-edged sword in his hand.
If used well, he could kill a thousand enemies.
If used poorly, he would injure himself greatly.
"Duan Lingtian … Perhaps you've never imagined even in your dreams that your illusory realm soul skill is utterly incapable of being of any use before me, right? So long as Elder Ghost's incomplete soul temporarily fuses with my soul and obtains temporary control of my body, then my Spiritual Force will far surpass you! "
Zi Shang stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian as a wisp of a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, his heart that was in his throat because he saw Duan Lingtian execute his demonic technique once more was completely at ease, and he was fearless.
"Duan Lingtian, what did you do to me earlier?"
Bai Hao stared at Duan Lingtian with a burning gaze as he asked with a low voice.
Along with Bai Hao asking this question, besides the group of Void Interpretation Stage Inscription Masters including Elder Kong, the gazes of everyone present including Feng Wu Dao descended onto Duan Lingtian in unison.
For a time, Duan Lingtian became the center of attention as expected.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian who'd become the center of attention was prepared since long ago, and he said unhurriedly, "My situation is similar to Zi Shang's … I know an innate secret technique as well!"
Duan Lingtian's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and it caused the spectators in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena to seethe with excitement.
"A secret technique again?"
"He wouldn't be deliberately mystifying himself, right? When Zi Shang executed his secret technique, a flame brand would appear between his brows at any rate, and he would instantly possess a strength comparable to a Void Interpretation Stage expert. Whereas I'm utterly unable to discern any clues about the secret technique he executed. "
"His secret technique wouldn't be to cause Bai Hao to instantly seem to have gone mad, right?"
"It ought to be to cause Bai Hao to hallucinate! If it's really like that, then this secret technique is too strange. "
…
Even though many people felt that the appearance of these two secret techniques was truly too much of a coincidence, there weren't many people that doubted Duan Lingtian's words.
After all, they were utterly unable to explain everything that had occurred earlier.
"Secret technique?"
"Duan Lingtian knows a secret technique as well? Moreover, it's such a strange secret technique! "
"Looks like Duan Lingtian still has the chance to compete for the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition with Zi Shang."
…
The gazes of the group of young geniuses of the Darkstone Empire lit up.
Originally, they didn't hold any hope towards Duan Lingtian obtaining the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition. After all, Duan Lingtian had relied on his secret technique to reveal a strength that caused them to tremble with fear.
Now, Duan Lingtian had relied on his secret technique to execute an ability that caused them to be shocked, so hope arose once more in their hearts, and they were filled with confidence towards Duan Lingtian.
"Secret technique?"
Of course, there were also a small number of people that doubted Duan Lingtian's words.
"Is there really such a coincidence? Imperial Uncle, do you believe it? "
The Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor asked the black clothed old man by his side.
The black clothed old man shook his head. "It's impossible for it to be so coincidental … But, I'm temporarily unable to explain why he's capable of causing Hao 'er to hallucinate at that instant."
"This Duan Lingtian is too strange."
The Second Prince, Bai He, frowned and said with a low voice, "If he really seizes the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition, then where would the face of our Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family be?"
"This doesn't matter."
The Emperor seemed to be extremely open-minded and didn't care about the past in the slightest. "No matter who obtains the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition today, they're all citizens of our Darkhan Dynasty, and they'll be participating in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties for our Darkhan Dynasty one year from now."
At the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Feng Clan.
"Elder Brother Duan is so strong!"
Feng Tianwu returned to her seat and sat down, and she looked at Duan Lingtian with a gaze of admiration, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tender feelings that were like water.
"Young Miss, has the battle between Brother Duan and Zi Shang been opened? What are the odds? "
Elder Kong seemed to be extremely interested in this.
"Hmph! The members of the Imperial Family look down on Elder Brother Duan too much … In the battle between Elder Brother Duan and Elder Brother Duan, the odds for Elder Brother Duan is 1: 3, whereas, the odds for Zi Shang is only 3: 1. "
In other words, if one bet on Duan Lingtian winning and bet a low grade Origin Stone, then so long as Duan Lingtian won, besides being able to recoup the cost, one would be able to earn an extra three low grade Origin Stones.
On the other hand, if one bet on Zi Shang winning and bet three low grade Origin Stones, then even if Zi Shang won, besides recouping the cost, one would only earn a single low grade Origin Stone.
"Isn't this very good? So long as Brother Duan wins, then the almost 27,000 low grade Origin Stones you bet will be able to multiply by a few times. "
Elder Kong smiled, and then he stood up. "This old man will go bet for fun as well …"
"Elder Kong, why are you fooling around with Wu 'er and that kid Ling Tian? You're so confident in that kid Ling Tian? "
Feng Wu Dao shook his head.
"In any case, I don't have many Origin Stones in my possession, so I'll just take it as a loss."
