"Yes."
Feng Wu Dao nodded, and with a raise of his hand, a Spatial Ring shot towards Elder Kong. "Help me bet the 100,000 low grade Origin Stones within it on that kid Ling Tian."
"100,000 low grade Origin Stones?"
The corners of Elder Kong's mouth twitched as he received the Spatial Ring, and he was slightly speechless.
At this moment, he really wanted to reply directly.
Didn't you say I was fooling around?
"Father … So many low grade Origin Stones, aren't you afraid Elder Brother Duan will lose?"
Feng Tianwu was shocked by Feng Wu Dao's extravagance as well.
"If that kid dares to lose, then I won't marry my precious daughter to him."
Feng Wu Dao spoke indifferently.
"Father … What are you talking about?!"
Feng Tianwu's beautiful face flushed red as she lowered her head and spoke shyly.
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't know the situation at the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Feng Clan, nor did he know that Feng Wu Dao had bet 100,000 low grade Origin Stones heavily on him in the battle between him and Zi Shang.
If he knew, he would surely feel even more pressure.
"The third in the Dynasty Martial Competition today is obtained by Bai Hao … He's obtained 20,000 low grade Origin Stones as a reward."
Meanwhile, one of the old men that was in charge of presiding in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena passed a Spatial Ring to Bai Hao before announcing.
After Bai Hao left, Zi Shang's figure flashed out to arrive in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena in a short moment, and he stood in confrontation with Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, do you need to rest?"
Zi Shang glanced coldly and indifferently at Duan Lingtian, and a wisp of disdain suffused the corners of his mouth. "So as to avoid saying I had an unfair advantage after I defeat you."
"Defeat me?"
Duan Lingtian said indifferently, "Zi Shang, looks like you're still as confident as before … I remember that during the battle on the peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Phecda Peak all those years ago, you seemed to be so confident as well, but the outcome was that you lost, a crushing defeat!"
"Hmph! It's impossible for the miracle from all those years ago to appear once more today. "
Zi Shang's face sank when he heard Duan Lingtian mention the past that was unbearable to recall, and he grunted coldly.
"That might not be the case."
Duan Lingtian continued.
Even though he'd already thrown caution to the wind and intended to directly use his soul skill, Thousand Illusions, against Zi Shang.
However, when he thought about the sudden increase in strength after the strange black flame mark appeared between Zi Shang's brows … He had to admit that he was still a little worried in his heart. He was worried that Zi Shang's Spiritual Energy would increase as his strength increased.
If Zi Shang's Spiritual Power could increase accordingly, he would have no chance of winning unless a miracle happened.
It could be said that he was gambling on this battle.
He was betting that Zi Shang's mental strength would not increase as his strength increased.
"You'll know soon enough."
Zi Shang's gaze went slightly cold as the Origin Energy on his body raged and leaped about, and it seemed to have transformed into a ball of white colored flames that enveloped him within it. He didn't have the intention of withdrawing his zither.
"Looks like you're planning to directly use your secret technique?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes.
"You're very smart … Unfortunately, you'll definitely lose today! I'll let you know that going against me will be the nightmare of Duan Lingtian's life! "
Zi Shang's words were extremely arrogant as his white clothes fluttered without the wind, and he was prepared to attack at any moment.
Meanwhile, a worker of the Cage Battle Arena appeared on the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family, and he bowed respectfully and reverently to the Emperor.
"What is it?"
The Emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty, the Feng Clan's Lord Wu Dao has bet 100,000 low grade Origin Stones in this final battle."
The worker took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"100,000 low grade Origin Stones?"
Immediately, everyone, including the Emperor, who was sitting with the Emperor, was shocked.
"Yes."
The worker nodded.
"Who did he bet on?"
The black clothed old man frowned as he asked.
"Duan Lingtian."
The worker spoke again.
"Looks like he's extremely confident towards Duan Lingtian … But unfortunately, he's probably going to be disappointed."
The black clothed old man sneered.
"Imperial Uncle, you seem to be extremely confident towards Zi Shang? This Duan Lingtian has an innate secret technique to rely on … "
The Emperor spoke.
He was slightly bewildered by the old man's confidence towards Zi Shang.
Even though he felt that Zi Shang's chances of winning were great as well, he didn't have such great confidence like the old man.
"Zi Shang told me earlier that he's unafraid of Duan Lingtian's secret technique."
The old man spoke.
"So that's how it is."
The Emperor nodded with sudden understanding, and then he revealed a smile. "In this way, Zi Shang's battle is in the bag … Looks like Feng Wu Dao is going to bleed this time."
At this moment, the gazes of the spectators in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena had descended onto Duan Lingtian and Zi Shang who were in confrontation in the sky above the Cage Battle Arena.
Most people held their breaths as they waited for the final battle between Duan Lingtian and Zi Shang.
They knew.
The battle between Duan Lingtian and Zi Shang would decide the ownership of the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition today.
"A battle between two young geniuses that possess secret techniques … This battle will surely be extremely exciting!"
"Who do all of you think has a greater chance of winning?"
"I think Zi Shang has a greater chance … After all, when Zi Shang makes a move, his strength is comparable to a Void Interpretation Stage expert!"
"I think Duan Lingtian has a chance of winning as well. His secret technique is extremely strange and impossible to guard against."
…
Most people felt that Zi Shang had a greater chance of winning, and there was also a small portion of people that felt Duan Lingtian had a chance of winning.
In the sky above the Cage Battle Arena, two old enemies had met once more after a few years, and they stood on the battle stage.
Last time, Duan Lingtian had used his soul skill, Thousand Illusions, to completely crush Zi Shang, causing Zi Shang to flee in defeat.
What would be the result of today?
At this moment, not to mention the others, even Duan Lingtian didn't dare be sure of the outcome.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that a small black dot had appeared out of thin air between Zi Shang's brows, and the small black dot was ceaselessly enlarging.
"Duan Lingtian, I know you're able to rely on your Spiritual Force to execute an illusory realm soul skill. Besides that, your Spiritual Force has even attained the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage … But unfortunately, after I execute my secret technique, my Spiritual Force will far surpass you, and your illusory realm soul skill is utterly useless! "
Suddenly, Zi Shang's arrogant voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
Duan Lingtian's face instantly went grim when he heard this voice transmission.
This Zi Shang actually knows that I know how to execute an illusory realm soul skill?
Moreover, he even knows the level of my Spiritual Force?
How could this be possible?
Not to mention Zi Shang might not be an Inscription Master, even if he was an Inscription Master and was able to notice his Spiritual Force, it would be impossible for him to know that he'd executed a soul skill when defeating Bai Hao.
Moreover, Zi Shang's words seemed to even know the specific effects of his soul skill.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt his back go cold, and he had the feeling of being completely exposed before another.
This feeling caused him to be extremely displeased.
"You … How did you know?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and asked with a low voice.
"I have no obligation to tell you … You, Duan Lingtian, are bound to be trampled beneath my feet today!"
Zi Shang replied indifferently, and as he finished speaking, he became even more arrogant.
On the other hand, the small black dot between Zi Shang's brows was still ceaselessly strengthening, and it already possessed the outline of a flame brand.
"Your secret technique ought to require time to execute, right?"
Duan Lingtian sneered, and then his figure flashed out as if transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot directly towards Zi Shang, and he didn't dare hesitate in the slightest.
He wanted to heavily injure and defeat Zi Shang in one go before the black flame brand between Zi Shang's brows completely appeared!
As he dashed out, two dim lights started to flash deep within Duan Lingtian's eyes.
Thousand Illusions!
Instantly, Duan Lingtian's vast Spiritual Force once again constructed an illusory space that swept towards Zi Shang and enveloped Zi Shang that the flame brand between Zi Shang's brows hadn't completely appeared.
When he saw Zi Shang being enveloped by the illusory space and the illusory space showing no signs of collapsing, Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief.
"Looks like I'm still in time."
Duan Lingtian's gaze went slightly cold as his feet suddenly moved.
Whirlwind!
In the blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian's figure arrived by Zi Shang's side, and his eyes went cold as he raised his hand and blasted out with a punch. Origin Energy exploded out with a vast impetus, and it fiercely smashed towards Zi Shang's head.
If this punch were to hit, then even if Zi Shang didn't die, he would be heavily injured!
At this moment, Duan Lingtian didn't notice that at practically the instant he moved, the black dot between Zi Shang's brows had instantly transformed into a black flame brand.
When Duan Lingtian flashed to Zi Shang's side and swung out his fist, and his fist was only an inch away from Zi Shang's head.
Zi Shang moved.
Swoosh!
Instantly, Zi Shang vanished on the spot, and when he appeared once more, he was already over 10 meters away.
Naturally, this punch of Duan Ling Tian's had missed.
"Not good!"
Almost at the same time, Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically.
This was because he realized that when Zi Shang disappeared under his fist, the 'illusory space' that he created with his soul skill Thousand Illusions had actually dissipated.
When his gaze landed on Zi Shang again, he realized that the black flame brand between Zi Shang's brows had already appeared.
At this moment, Zi Shang's eyes were clearly a little dim, and he was like a human-shaped puppet that had lost its soul.
"This Zi Shang, don't tell me he's possessed by a ghost?"
Duan Lingtian furrowed his brows.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian realized that...
The 'storage ring' on his hand, which was already trembling slightly, actually started to tremble even more intensely at this moment.
It was obvious that the Devilseal Tablet was rebelling again.
It was as if it had been injected with chicken blood.
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian no longer had any scruples as he swept his spiritual power out in an attempt to find out how strong Zi Shang was.
Unfortunately, before his spiritual power could even get close to Zi Shang, it was as if it had hit cotton, and completely disappeared without a trace.
"How could this be?"
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted, and his expression changed drastically.
Unfortunately, based on the current situation, Duan Lingtian didn't have time to think too much because Zi Shang had already made his move.
Whoosh!
Zi Shang flew straight towards Duan Lingtian, and his speed was so fast that Duan Lingtian couldn't react in time.
When Duan Lingtian reacted, Zi Shang was already in front of him.
Boom!
Zi Shang raised his hand, and his iron fist flew through the air, causing a deafening explosion as it smashed towards Duan Lingtian.
Sword Drawing Technique!
At this moment, Duan Lingtian only had time to raise his sword and block Zi Shang's iron fist.
Bang!
The iron fist smashed onto Duan Lingtian's spirit sword, and it directly dispersed the origin energy on the spirit sword, causing it to tremble violently.
