"Perhaps … She took some sort of shortcut and was able to come out before me. How old is she? It's impossible for her strength to be stronger than me! "
Ye Ling ceaselessly consoled herself. No matter what, she didn't believe that she would be surpassed by a young woman that was younger than her.
As the strongest expert in the younger generation of the Darqing Dynasty, she had her own arrogance!
"Tian Wu, that Ye Ling seems to be extremely unwilling to submit to you."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
Feng Tianwu glanced indifferently at Ye Ling before paying no further attention to her. A young woman that was 10 years older than her wasn't worthy of her comparing herself with her.
After the ninth person from the Darqing Dynasty, the tenth person came out as well.
The Dartang Dynasty, Li Ji.
Li Ji was a handsome young man around the age of 35, and at the same time, he was the Dartang Dynasty's Eleventh Prince.
Since then, the possessors of the top 10 command tokens had all appeared.
The possessor of the number 1 command token, Duan Lingtian from the Darkhan Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 2 command token, Zi Shang from the Darkhan Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 3 command token, Qi Feng from the Darqi Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 4 command token, Qin Kong from the Darqin Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 5 command token, Ta Mu from the Daryuan Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 6 command token, Lu Yong from the Darming Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 7 command token, Feng Tianwu from the Darkhan Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 8 command token, Ou Chen from the Darchu Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 9 command token, Ye Ling from the Darqing Dynasty.
The possessor of the number 10 command token, Li Ji from the Dartang Dynasty.
"Amongst the possessors of the top 10 command tokens, three are from the Darkhan Dynasty!"
"This time, the Darkhan Dynasty is really in the limelight!"
…
The representatives of the various Dynasties sighed with emotion.
Of course, there were also the representatives of two Dynasties that had gloomy expressions because not a single one of the young geniuses recommended by their Dynasties had obtained a token in the top 10.
Presently, the owners of the top 10 command tokens had appeared successively.
The owners of the remaining 40 command tokens had appeared along with them.
Numerous figures stepped out from the exit of the Illusory Crypt and appeared in the sky above the combat ring in the blink of an eye.
These people included Su Li, Long Yun, and Zhang Shouyong, and they returned to the side of Duan Lingtian's group one by one.
"The young geniuses of the various Dynasties that are participating in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties this time are really filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers … I feel that my speed can be considered to be swift, yet I only obtained command token number 12."
Su Li sighed.
Su Li obtained token number 12, and Long Yun obtained token number 19.
What caused Duan Ling Tian to be surprised was that Zhang Shou Yong actually obtained the number 15 token.
For a moment, he extended his spiritual power, intending to probe Zhang Shouyong's depth. In the end, he found some clues.
Zhang Shou Yong had suddenly broken through to the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhang."
Duan Lingtian smiled and congratulated Zhang Shouyong.
"Brother Ling Tian, I can't hide anything from you."
Zhang Shouyong smiled bitterly. Although he was surprised that Duan Lingtian was able to see through his cultivation, he wasn't surprised.
In his opinion.
No matter what 'miracle' it was, so long as it occurred on this Brother Ling Tian, then it couldn't be considered a miracle.
"Big Brother Zhang has broken through?"
Feng Tianwu's gaze lit up, and then she congratulated Zhang Shouyong.
"Young Miss Tian Wu, you came out before us … What number token did you obtain?"
Su Li looked at Feng Tianwu and asked with slight anticipation.
"What?!"
Originally, after Zhang Shouyong came out, he was already surprised when he saw Feng Tianwu had come out before him, but he only thought that Feng Tianwu had come out before him.
Now, when he heard Su Li say this, he realized that Feng Tianwu had come out before Su Li.
Su Li had obtained token number 12.
In other words, the token Feng Tianwu obtained was either token number 11 or one of the top 10.
"Hmph! Tian Wu is much stronger than you. "
Sword 13 was obviously extremely dissatisfied that Su Li had only obtained token number 12, and he intended to strike a blow to Su Li. "Tian Wu obtained token number 7."
Token number 7?
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Li was instantly petrified, whereas, Zhang Shouyong and Long Yun were dumbstruck.
"Stinking Kid, you're at the bottom again this time … Looks like I have to use a special method to properly temper you after we return to the sect."
Saber 5 looked at Long Yun and gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
Long Yun's expression went grim when he heard this.
"Duan Lingtian, what's the number of your token?"
After Su Li recovered from his shock, at the same time that he had a bitter smile on his face, he couldn't help but ask Duan Lingtian, and he seemed to want to find balance from Duan Lingtian.
If Duan Lingtian was inferior to Feng Tianwu, then he could use this to refute his Master.
But unfortunately, he was bound to be disappointed.
"Number 1."
Duan Lingtian spoke with a light smile.
For a time, Su Li was petrified once more, whereas, Zhang Shouyong who'd just recovered from his shock couldn't help but cough and choke on his own saliva.
Long Yun's face sank slightly as he never imagined that Duan Lingtian had actually obtained token number 1, and this also indicated that Duan Lingtian was the first to leave the Illusory Crypt.
"Duan Lingtian, since you're the first to leave … Then do you know who the other eight people besides Tian Wu are that have obtained tokens in the top 10?"
Su Li asked.
In next to no time, Su Li found out about the other eight people that had obtained tokens in the top 10 from Duan Lingtian.
He wasn't surprised that Zi Shang had obtained token number 2.
He'd witnessed Zi Shang's secret technique, and it was extremely formidable.
At that time, Zi Shang was only at the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage, yet when he executed that secret technique, his strength instantly rose to the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
Presently, Zi Shang had most probably broken through to the Void Interpretation Stage just like them, and when he executed that secret technique, his strength was at least at the fifth level of the Void Interpretation Stage or above.
"Looks like only you're capable of countering Zi Shang in this Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties."
Su Li sighed.
"Zi Shang!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered with cold lights as he'd already decided that during the fourth round of the selections, he would be the first to challenge Zi Shang.
Unless Zi Shang admitted defeat, otherwise, he'd surely make Zi Shang die a graveless death!
Along with the passage of time, the sky gradually dimmed down.
Dusk arrived as scheduled.
The 50 young geniuses of the ten Dynasties had finally emerged, and the 50 number tokens had their own owners.
"The third round of the selections will be held at dawn tomorrow … At that time, the top 10 of the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties will be decided!"
After Ning Can announced this, he left with Feng Wei.
Zi Shang and Lu Yong followed.
"That Zi Shang …"
Su Li and Zhang Shouyong couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene.
"Zi Shang has already been taken as Ning Can's personal disciple."
Duan Lingtian said.
Su Li and Zhang Shouyong came to a sudden understanding.
"I truly never imagined that the number 1 token would actually be obtained by the Darkhan Dynasty's Duan Lingtian!"
"His luck is really good."
"It's surely luck!"
…
Many young geniuses that came from the other Dynasties discussed animatedly, and they obviously didn't feel that Duan Lingtian had relied on his own strength to obtain the number 1 token.
Duan Lingtian couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this.
Luck?
During the third round of the selections tomorrow, he would use his actions to prove his strength and make these people shut their mouths!
The biggest winner today was none other than the Darkhan Dynasty.
The Darkhan Dynasty had monopolized three of the top 10 number tokens, and it caused the other nine Dynasties to only be envious and jealous.
The smile on the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor's face never stopped. At this moment, he seemed to have already completely forgotten the deaths of his son and nephew.
"Let's return!"
Duan Lingtian's group quickly left the combat arena and returned to their respective pavilions.
"I'm still slightly lacking."
Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh when he noticed his cultivation hadn't improved at all.
Even though his cultivation had the formidable medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill, it was still slightly lacking from breaking through to the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian knew that he shouldn't continue persisting in improving his cultivation, because no matter how persistent he was, it would be difficult for his cultivation that had fallen into a bottleneck to improve.
Presently, it was as if he'd entered a dead end, and if he wanted to pass through it, he needed to calm down first before he could think of a good method.
Duan Ling Tian left the room and stood outside the Narcissus Pavilion as he cultivated the high grade Heaven Rank martial skill, Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash, while he held onto the Wind Concept Fragment and continued to comprehend Wind Concept.
He became more and more skilled in the Nine Dragon's Radiant Flash, and at the end, he was able to utilize it like an extension of his arm. Even the third divine dragon was almost condensed into form, and once it was condensed into form, he could be considered to have stepped into the Initial Stage.
As for Wind Concept.
"I've just comprehended second level Intermediate Wind Concept today, and it's difficult for it to improve for a while …"
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself.
A night passed quickly.
The dawn of the second day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Dawn had just appeared in the horizon when Duan Lingtian had already walked out of his room and converged with Feng Tianwu who'd similarly walked out of her room before soaring up into the sky.
Feng Wu Dao had been standing in the sky since long ago and was waiting for them.
In the sky above the combat arena, after the representatives and young geniuses of the various Dynasties had arrived, the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, Ning Can, and Feng Wei appeared successively, and Zi Shang and Lu Yong followed behind them like shadows.
"Today, the third round of the selections will begin … The rules of the third round of the selections are just as I said before the second round of the selections began yesterday. Challenges will start from the possessor of the number 1 token, yet you're unable to challenge the possessors of the number 2 to 10 tokens."
Ning Can repeated the rules of the third round of the selections once more.
"Besides that, those that have just fought a battle can rest temporarily … The person that issues a challenge in the next round is prohibited from issuing a challenge to that person!"
Ning Can continued. "Life and death are disregarded in the third round of the selections! You can admit defeat verbally, and no one is allowed to make a move against a person that admits defeat. "
The hearts of all the young geniuses constricted, and then they nodded successively.
"Now, the possessor of the number 1 token can enter the arena to issue a challenge! Besides the possessors of the number 2 to 10 tokens, you can choose anyone. "
Ning Can glanced indifferently at Duan Lingtian. Even though he wished for nothing more than to slice Duan Lingtian into pieces, yet he knew that he couldn't lose his composure now.
