In next to no time, Sword 13 and Feng Wudao left Su Li's room successively.
For a time, only Duan Lingtian, Feng Tianwu, Zhang Shouyong, and Su Li remained in the entire room.
The gazes of Duan Lingtian's group of three descended onto Su Li in unison.
They had too many questions in their hearts, and they urgently wanted Su Li to answer them.
"Su Li, Senior said earlier that the Blade Sect wants half of the young experts that stand out in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … What does that mean?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
He kept having the feeling that what Sword 13 said was absolutely not as simple as the Blade Sect wanting to compete for disciples with Skywolf Fort.
"I don't know as well."
Su Li laughed bitterly. "I only know that it was my Master that asked me to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties. Moreover, he would bring me back to the Blade Sect after the competition ends."
Even though Su Li had already become Sword 13's disciple for a period of time, he'd never followed Sword 13 back to the Blade Sect.
"Then why did your Master say that baldy caused the expression of the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort to go pale? Is that bald donkey really that scary? "
Feng Tianwu continued to ask.
"Actually, I don't know much about those baldy donkeys … I only heard my Master mention that those baldy donkeys represent a power of the Foreign Lands that isn't inferior to our Blade Sect."
Su Li spoke with slight helplessness, as he didn't know much.
"I can be sure that there's surely a reason why Skywolf Fort suddenly held the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … Moreover, this reason caused the Blade Sect and another power of the Foreign Lands that isn't inferior to the Blade Sect to pay attention to it."
Zhang Shouyong guessed.
His guess obtained the unanimous agreement of Duan Lingtian's group of three.
"Right, Su Li, why is your Master called Sword 13? This ought to not be his true name, right? "
Feng Tianwu asked curiously.
Duan Lingtian and Zhang Shouyong looked at Su Li in unison, and they had the same bewilderment in their hearts.
Sword 13 didn't seem like a proper name no matter how they heard it, and it was more like a code name.
"I know that."
Su Li said, "Because I once asked Master this question … According to Master, there's a tradition in our Blade Sect."
"The Sect Leader of the Saber Sect and the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect in the Blade Sect have to go through an extremely brutal selection process … Every 30 years, such a selection process would be held."
"During that selection, no matter if it was the House of Blades or the House of Swords, each of them would carefully select 18 outstanding disciples that intended to become the Sect Master."
"From the moment the 18 outstanding disciples of the House of Blades agreed to participate in the selection, their past names ceased to exist, and only a new name remained … They were respectively Saber 1, Saber 2, Saber 3 … and even Saber 18!"
At this point, Su Li paused for a moment.
"For example, Long Yun's Master is precisely this generation's Saber 5, and he'll officially take over the House of Sabers of the Blade Sect in a few years."
Su Li looked at Duan Lingtian and said.
Long Yun's master?
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He was naturally not unfamiliar with Long Yun.
The former Saber Young Master of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's five great young masters was the foster son of the former Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Leader, Long Wei, and Long Yun could be considered to be half an enemy of his.
Of course, after he killed Long Wei, they could already be considered to be true enemies.
Once Long Yun found out that he'd killed Long Wei, Long Yun would surely wish for nothing more than to fight him with his life on the line!
Originally, since he suppressed Long Yun in the Martial Competition of the five great sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, Duan Lingtian didn't take Long Yun seriously any longer.
Because he felt that Long Yun would soon be left far behind by him and was nothing to worry about.
When he saw Long Yun once more during the Genius Competition held by the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he couldn't help but be greatly shocked.
At that time, Long Yun seemed as if he'd been reborn, and a tremendous change had occurred in his body.
Even though Long Yun was still inferior to him, it wasn't much inferior.
Later on, he encountered numerous fortuitous encounters, causing his strength to advance by leaps and bounds, whereas Long Yun's strength was still able to follow behind him at a neither fast nor slow pace, and this caused him to be filled with emotion towards Long Yun's fortuitous encounters.
According to his knowledge, Long Yun's fortuitous encounters were similar to Su Li's, and both of them had a master that came from the Foreign Lands.
Moreover, the masters of these two people were fellow disciples!
Su Li addressed Long Yun's master as Martial Uncle Saber, whereas Long Yun addressed Su Li's master as Martial Uncle Sword.
At that time, Duan Lingtian was slightly puzzled by the way they addressed their respective masters. Is there anyone that addresses their seniors like this?
Now, he came to an understanding.
One was Saber 5, the other was Sword 13. If they didn't address them like this, then how should they address them?
"In this way, your master is the next Sect Master of the House of Swords as well?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Yes."
Su Li nodded. "Long Yun's master, Saber 5, was the only one amongst the 18 disciples of the House of Sabers that passed through the selection and survived … The other 17 disciples of the House of Sabers have all died!"
"It can be said that Saber 5 stepped on the corpses of 17 disciples of the House of Sabers to obtain his current status and accomplishments."
As he finished speaking, Su Li couldn't help but sigh.
Duan Lingtian naturally knew why Su Li sighed.
Because Su Li's master, Sword 13, was the same, and he stepped on the corpses of 17 disciples of the House of Swords to become the successor of the House of Swords.
"Your House of Swords is really terrifying! My father wouldn't be in any danger after joining your House of Swords, right? "
When she heard about the tradition of competing for the position of Sect Master of the House of Sabers and House of Swords, Feng Tianwu's beautiful face went grim, and she asked with slight fear.
"Of course not."
Su Li laughed bitterly. "In the House of Swords, only the competition between the House of Sabers and House of Swords is comparatively intense … Normally, the disciples of the House of Sabers are harmonious. Whereas the disciples of the House of Swords are more or less the same. "
"The disciples of the House of Sabers are harmonious? The disciples of the House of Swords are similar? "
Zhang Shou Yong smiled spuriously. "Based on what you said … There seems to be something wrong between the disciples of the House of Sabers and House of Swords?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it … According to my master, it's just that no one is willing to submit to another, and there would occasionally be some friction and competition between them."
Su Li spoke with slight embarrassment.
He'd only found out about some of the situation in the House of Swords from his master, and he himself didn't know much about it.
"You call this nothing wrong?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Li.
In his heart, he rather approved of the independent management method of the House of Sabers and House of Swords in the House of Swords.
As for the bloody competition for the position of Sect Master of the House of Sabers and House of Swords, he didn't feel it was anything.
Cloud Continent itself was a world where the strong were respected, and if one wanted to become a person that stood above others, then there was naturally no lack of difficulties and obstacles.
Only by passing through layer upon layer of difficulties and obstacles would one be able to truly stand at the true peak!
This was something that Duan Lingtian deeply felt.
Because he possessed the memories of the two lifetimes of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, whereas, during those two lifetimes, the Rebirth Martial Emperor had walked step by step to finally become a Martial Emperor Stage expert that stood at the peak of Cloud Continent.
"Su Li, in this way … If you want to compete for the position of Sect Master of the House of Swords in the future, then you'll have to undergo a bloody competition with the other 17 outstanding disciples of the House of Swords?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian thought of this, and his brows knit together tightly as he was worried for Su Li.
"Yes."
Su Li nodded. "This is the normal process … Of course, Master won't force me to compete for the position of Sect Master of the House of Swords."
"Senior is really good to you."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
After they chatted idly for a while, Duan Lingtian's group of three bid their farewells to Su Li before leaving the Peony Pavilion.
After they returned to the Narcissus Pavilion, Duan Lingtian didn't return to his room but instead stayed outside the pavilion and seriously cultivated the high grade heaven rank martial skill, Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash.
After the series of encounters from before, Duan Lingtian's mood had been constantly changing, and he'd long since tossed the feelings he had from cultivating the Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash to the back of his mind.
So when he cultivated the Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash once more now, he didn't have the feeling of wanting to be hasty.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Lingtian pointed out with his sword, and two divine dragons condensed from Origin Energy whistled out while baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
One of the divine dragons that was comparatively more material abruptly shot out two rays of light from its eyes.
Swish! Swish!
The ray of light tore through the sky and flashed out with an extremely terrifying speed before touching the enormous rock outside the pavilion.
In the past few days, Duan Lingtian had frequently cultivated the Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash here, so this enormous rock was already riddled with holes since long ago.
After cultivating for a while, Duan Lingtian stopped, and he held the Wind Concept Fragment in his hand as he calmed his heart and comprehended.
His Wind Concept rose ceaselessly.
The incident that occurred today was quickly tossed to the back of Duan Lingtian's mind.
In his world, only the Wind Concept of being calm like a virgin and moving like a mad rabbit remained …
Time silently flowed by, and the day the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties began grew closer and closer.
During these two days, not a single young genius of the ten Dynasties left Skywolf Fort to go outside, and all of them stayed in their respective pavilions with tacit understanding to cultivate in meditation.
Every single one of them felt extremely great pressure.
Perhaps, they could be considered to be outstanding existences in their respective Dynasties.
But now, they weren't just competing with the young geniuses of their own Dynasties, they had to compete with the young geniuses of the other nine Dynasties as well.
Even if you were the number one expert in the younger generation of your Dynasty, you didn't dare say that you would surely be stronger than the young geniuses of the other nine Dynasties.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties began.
Dusk descended, and the setting sun was like blood, causing the entire Skywolf Fort to seem as if it had been dyed in blood, causing it to seem extremely gorgeous and strange.
"Time really passes quickly. The Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties is tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian leaned on the balcony of the pavilion as he looked at the red glow that covered the sky and muttered to himself.
He'd already made preparations to welcome the competition between the young geniuses of the ten Dynasties tomorrow.
"Elder Brother Duan."
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian saw Feng Tianwu flying over from afar, and he was instantly slightly surprised. "Tianwu, where did you go?"
"Elder Brother Duan, I've inquired about the rules of the first round of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties tomorrow."
