"Duan Lingtian? A Variant? "
Originally, Zi Shang didn't think of Duan Lingtian as a Variant, but now that he'd been reminded by Feng Wei, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Elder Ghost, haven't you always been unable to discern why Duan Lingtian was able to execute soul skills? Do you think it's possible that he's a Variant? "
Zi Shang contacted the strand of incomplete soul that was hidden within Zi Shang's body and asked with a low voice.
"It's possible."
After a short moment, an aged and ghastly voice sounded out. "Of course, it's also possible that it's because of other things. There's nothing absolute in this world … No one dares say that he knows everything."
Zi Shang's pupils constricted, and slight fear was faintly mixed within his eyes as he guessed. "I feel that it's very likely that he's a Variant … Otherwise, how could he possibly possess such a formidable strength at such a young age!?"
"No matter if Duan Lingtian is a Variant or not, he can't be allowed to live! I have a feeling that if you don't kill him as soon as possible, then the one that dies in the future will only be you! "
Elder Ghost's voice was filled with fear. "Moreover, he possesses the Devilseal Tablet and knows of my existence, and he knows that the Devilseal Tablet is capable of countering me … Once you die, it's impossible for me to survive as well."
"So, Elder Ghost, you must help me … Let's see how we can completely annihilate Duan Lingtian in this world once and for all!"
Zi Shang's eyes flashed with cold lights as he spoke fiercely.
"I'll absolutely not allow him to live!"
Elder Ghost's ghastly and hoarse voice was filled with icy cold and bone piercing killing intent, and it caused Zi Shang to be unable to refrain from shuddering.
Up until now, even he didn't know the true ability of this Elder Ghost.
But he knew that when Elder Ghost was at his prime, he was absolutely an expert at the Emperor Wu Realm or above!
"Zi Shang?"
Feng Wei couldn't help but frown and remind Zi Shang when he saw Zi Shang didn't answer his question and was instead in a daze.
Zi Shang returned to his senses. "Vice Fort Master Feng, you've really guessed correctly … There's something that I've thought about for a long time, and I intend to tell you."
"Speak."
Feng Wei's brows raised, and he felt slight anticipation.
"The reason I wanted to kill that Duan Lingtian was because he could restrain my innate ability! He and I are both Anomalies, but his bloodline is rather special. The attack I unleashed after I cast my innate ability will automatically disperse and return to its normal strength before it even gets close to him. "
Zi Shang said slowly. These words were taught to him by the Ghost Elder.
"I see."
Feng Wei nodded with sudden understanding, and then he asked with a smile. "Zi Shang, you ought to feel extremely uncomfortable in your heart with such a nemesis, right?"
"Of course! I can't wait to tear him into pieces and grind his bones to dust! "
Zi Shang's expression turned serious as he spoke fiercely.
"Very good! Since that's the case, we have a common enemy … Do you have a way to deal with him? "
Feng Wei asked.
"Unless I enter the Illusory Purgatory once more and ask Lu Yong to kill him … Otherwise, no matter if it's me or Lu Yong, we don't have the strength to kill him."
Zi Shang shook his head and said.
"Illusory Purgatory?"
Feng Wei frowned. "That Illusory Purgatory consumes an enormous amount of energy every time it's activated … It's not too possible to activate it once more."
"If it's like this, then it's extremely difficult to kill him during the later selections of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties."
Zi Shang said.
"Just how strong is that 'illusory realm soul skill' that he used? According to my knowledge, no matter if it's those special demon beasts with extraordinary natural talent or the legendary experts like Emperor Wu, their Spiritual Force abilities are at most targeted towards existences with Spiritual Forces similar to their own or weaker than their own. "
Feng Wei frowned. "Yong is a third level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist, and his Spiritual Force is at the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage as well … Could it be that Duan Lingtian's cultivation has stepped into the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage as well?"
As he finished speaking, Feng Wei's pupils couldn't help but constrict.
"Vice Fort Master Feng, that Duan Lingtian is unlike ordinary martial artists … According to my estimations, he ought to have consumed a type of spirit fruit that improves the level of his soul, causing his Spiritual Force to be two levels higher than his cultivation."
Zi Shang said, "One year ago, I witnessed his illusory realm soul skill during the Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition … At that time, his cultivation was at the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage, yet his Spiritual Force was at the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage."
"What?!"
Feng Wei was greatly shocked, as he'd heard of spirit fruits that were capable of improving the level of the soul. "In this way, once he breaks through to the first level of the Void Interpretation Stage, his Spiritual Force will break through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage along with him?"
"Yes."
Zi Shang nodded, and then he said with a fearful expression, "Moreover, according to my estimations, his current cultivation is probably not as simple as the first level of the Void Interpretation Stage, and it's extremely likely that he has already broken through to the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage!"
Second level of the Void Interpretation Stage?
A young man that's only 28 years old?
Feng Wei couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, he'd started to truly take Duan Lingtian to be a figure, a genius figure that possessed extraordinary natural talent that he could examine head-on.
"In other words, it's extremely likely that his current Spiritual Force is at the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage?!"
Feng Wei took a deep breath. "If it's really like this, then once he executes that soul skill, there's probably no one amongst the young geniuses of the ten Dynasties that are participating in the martial competition this time that's a match for him."
"Not necessarily … If there's an existence amongst the remaining 40 plus young geniuses of the ten Dynasties that has broken through to the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage and is an Inscription Master at the same time, then perhaps they'll just happen to be able to counter Duan Lingtian and defeat him!"
Zi Shang said.
"Would there be such an existence?"
Feng Wei frowned and felt slight disbelief.
"Nothing is absolute."
Zi Shang continued. "Once an existence like that appears, I believe that so long as Vice Fort Master Feng makes a heavy promise and asks him to help you kill Duan Lingtian, he ought to not refuse."
When Zi Shang spoke up to here, he revealed an evil smile.
"Hmph!"
Feng Wei glanced coldly and indifferently at Zi Shang and grunted. "If it really comes to that time, then the happiest person would probably be you, Zi Shang, right?"
"Vice Fort Master Feng, you can't speak like this. Everyone's just happy together."
Zi Shang smiled indifferently.
"Right, you said earlier that I'll be able to obtain a treasure that's easily obtainable … What's that?"
Feng Wei asked when he recalled what Zi Shang had said earlier.
"Vice Fort Master Feng, that was actually only a delaying tactic of mine, and I spoke casually … Vice Fort Master Feng is wise, you knew since the beginning that I was deliberately mystifying things."
Zi Shang spoke unhurriedly, and a bright light flashed within the depths of his eyes.
Since no matter if he spoke of the existence of the Devilseal Tablet or not, the members of Skywolf Fort would kill Duan Lingtian, then why should he speak of the Devilseal Tablet?
Once the Devilseal Tablet fell into the hands of the members of Skywolf Fort, even though he could take it back in the future, but who knew if an unexpected event would occur during this period of time?
"Let's see if there's an existence amongst those young geniuses that isn't afraid of Duan Lingtian's illusory realm soul skill … Once there is, then under the promise of the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, that person will surely make a move to kill Duan Lingtian!"
"Whereas the Spatial Ring in Duan Lingtian's possession will most probably fall into the hands of that person … Even if he's an existence at the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage, so long as I allow Elder Ghost to possess him, I'll similarly be able to kill him in a short period of time and seize Duan Lingtian's Spatial Ring!"
Zi Shang started to calculate in his heart.
"Of course, if no one is able to suppress Duan Lingtian in the later selections of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … At that time, I'll tell Feng Wei that Duan Lingtian possesses the Devilseal Tablet that can amplify one's strength by 100%. For the sake of the Devilseal Tablet, I believe Feng Wei will stop at nothing to kill Duan Lingtian!"
Zi Shang made two preparations for his scheme.
"Duan Lingtian, you're dead for sure this time!!"
Zi Shang's eyes were filled with extreme icy coldness.
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't know of all this that had occurred in the inner fort.
Presently, he was silently comprehending Wind Concept within his room in the Narcissus Pavilion.
Duan Lingtian, who held the Wind Concept Fragment in his hand, had strands of clearly visible strong winds coiled around his body, and the strong winds were deep and ceaselessly strengthened.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt as if he'd completely fused into the wind. He was the wind, and the wind was him.
As he meditated and comprehended, Duan Lingtian forgot the time.
"Elder Brother Duan!"
Duan Lingtian only returned to his senses when a familiar voice sounded out by his ears, and he put away the Wind Concept Fragment in his hand.
"Tian Wu!"
After opening the door, Duan Lingtian noticed that dawn had already appeared in the horizon, and a new day had officially arrived.
"Elder Brother Duan, we ought to go over."
Feng Tianwu who'd rested for an entire night seemed to be even more beautiful and moving. It wasn't just that, Duan Lingtian even noticed some slight changes on her.
"Tian Wu wouldn't have broken through, right?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned, and then his Spiritual Force stretched out along with this, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Feng Tianwu's cultivation was still at the first level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
"Looks like I was too suspicious … Right, Tian Wu has only broken through to the first level of the Void Interpretation Stage a few days ago. Even if she wants to break through, she would at least have to wait for another period of time."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and walked side by side with Feng Tianwu, and after they converged with Feng Wu Dao, they headed towards the combat arena.
At the same time, there were already many people in the sky above the combat arena.
"Duan Lingtian!"
"Brother Ling Tian."
Not long after, Su Li and Zhang Shou Yong had arrived as well. Sword 13 who walked in front of Su Li nodded to Duan Lingtian's group of three, and it could be considered as a greeting.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In next to no time, Saber 5 and Long Yun arrived as scheduled.
In next to no time, all the representatives and young geniuses of the ten Dynasties had arrived.
After a night of rest, all the representatives of the ten Dynasties were in high spirits, and they completely didn't have the dispirited state they had when they saw the corpses of all the young geniuses at dusk yesterday.
Whoosh!
A howl of the wind sounded out from the direction of the inner fort, and it caused everyone to be unable to refrain from raising their heads to look over.
A tall young man flew over and arrived in the sky above the combat arena in the blink of an eye.
"Lu Yong!"
