Ning Can's expression actually remained unchanged when he saw his personal disciple being ridiculed like this, and it was as if he utterly didn't hear those unpleasant words.
Of course, the reason he was able to be so composed was because he'd long since found out from Zi Shang that Duan Lingtian was able to counter him.
Zi Shang naturally didn't say that the Devilseal Tablet in Duan Lingtian's possession could counter him, and he instead unified the statement that he'd mentioned to Feng Wei that day. He said that Duan Lingtian was a Variant like him, and it just happened to counter his Innate Ability.
No matter what, Zi Shang had admitted defeat.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian had obtained victory in his first battle.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian returned to the side of Feng Tianwu and the others and looked at Sword 13 at the first possible moment, and he couldn't help but ask via voice transmission. "Senior, who exactly are those three monks and that Pei An? Why have they come to Skywolf Fort? "
Duan Lingtian was extremely puzzled by this.
"They've come to Skywolf Fort for the sake of all of you."
Sword 13's voice transmission entered into Duan Lingtian's ears, and he replied to Duan Lingtian's question.
"For the sake of us?"
Duan Lingtian had a puzzled expression, and he completely didn't know what Sword 13 meant by this.
Sword 13 continued. "There's no need to conceal some things now … Do you know why Skywolf Fort is holding this Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties?"
"For what?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head, as he naturally didn't know.
Of course, even though he didn't know, but he subconsciously felt that something was off.
Because in the history of the Darkhan Dynasty, there hadn't been a grand event like the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties that had occurred in the past.
Moreover, it was a grand event that a power of the Foreign Lands like Skywolf Fort had personally held for the young geniuses of the ten Dynasties, and it was even more strange.
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't believe that Skywolf Fort didn't have any ulterior motives.
After all, Skywolf Fort had promised numerous rewards for the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties this time, and this was the reason why the ten Dynasties were scrambling for it like a flock of ducks.
Otherwise, the ten dynasties wouldn't even bother with Skywolf Fort.
At the beginning, Duan Lingtian had thought that perhaps Skywolf Fort intended to recruit disciples through the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
But on second thought, something didn't seem right.
Even if the Skywolf Fort wanted to recruit disciples, there seemed to be no need to hold the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties. They could totally send people to the ten great dynasties and spread the news.
At that time, so long as it was a comparatively outstanding young genius in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, they would surely be interested.
In that case, the Skywolf Fort wouldn't need to pay any 'remuneration' to the 10 Dynasties.
Although the small amount of 'compensation' that Skywolf Fort paid to the ten dynasties was nothing to Skywolf Fort, it was still meat no matter how small a mosquito was. Everyone understood the principle of saving as much as possible.
Since the Skywolf Fort was willing to not hesitate to pay a reward that could be considered to be generous to the ten Dynasties for the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, then it would surely not make a losing deal.
Of course, all of this was Duan Lingtian's own guess.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian knew that his guess wasn't wrong.
"Skywolf Fort held the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties for the sake of selecting outstanding young martial artists from the ten Dynasties … These young martial artists will bring great benefits to Skywolf Fort. As for the exact benefits, it's not convenient for me to tell you now, but you'll know very soon. "
Sword 13 spoke to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding, and then he asked. "So in this way, Senior, you came here for the sake of getting a share of the benefits from Skywolf Fort and want to take away half of the outstanding young martial artists?"
"Exactly."
Sword 13 nodded. At this time, there was nothing to conceal. "Even if it's the Empyrean Temple's Baldy Hui Ming and the Emotion Severing Sect's Pei An, they've come here for the sake of all of you outstanding young martial artists."
"Originally, I intended to join forces with Skywolf Fort and make the Empyrean Temple's Baldy retreat in the face of difficulties … But unexpectedly, they actually found the members of the Emotion Severing Sect!"
As he finished speaking, Sword 13 was slightly helpless.
Through Sword 13's explanation, Duan Ling Tian was temporarily able to sort out the sequence of events that had occurred.
Because of certain reasons, no matter if it was Skywolf Fort, the Blade Sect, or even the Empyrean Temple and Emotion Severing Sect, all of them wanted to find a group of outstanding young martial artists.
For the sake of finding outstanding young martial artists, Skywolf Fort held the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties because doing this would allow them to achieve their goal in the most efficient manner.
"Senior, if I'm not wrong … The reason all of you sects want to find outstanding young martial artists is probably because you want us to enter a certain place and seek benefits for all of you? That place ought to have an Inscription Formation set up there that prohibits martial artists above the age of 40 from entering. Is it like this? "
A flash of inspiration flashed in Duan Lingtian's mind as he faintly guessed some things, and he asked Sword 13 via voice transmission.
All of this was his guess after combining the requirements of Skywolf Fort to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
He still remembered that before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties began a few days ago, the first young genius that was measured to be 40 years old by the Age Measuring Pearl was killed by Feng Wei in rage.
Obviously, Skywolf Fort attached great importance to the age of the young geniuses that participated in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
"You … How did you know?"
Sword 13 went pale with shock when he heard Duan Lingtian's guess.
"I guessed."
Duan Lingtian smiled, and then he said, "Besides that, I'm also able to guess that the place all of you sects intend to send outstanding young martial artists to … is probably left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu!"
Sword 13 was completely speechless.
He knew that Duan Lingtian's natural talent and comprehension ability in the Martial Dao were heaven defying, yet never had he imagined that Duan Lingtian's thoughts were actually so meticulous, and he was able to associate so many things through some small clues.
Exactly!
The place their Blade Sect wanted to send outstanding young martial artists to was precisely left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu.
Moreover, that place did indeed have an age restriction towards the people that entered.
Martial artists that had reached the age of 40 would die without a doubt if they entered!
When he saw Sword 13 stunned, Duan Lingtian knew that his guess wasn't wrong.
"A place left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu and an Inscription Formation like that … There's surely many good things within it! I truly never imagined that the reason Skywolf Fort held the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties was for this. "
Duan Lingtian sighed, and at the same time, he was faintly excited in his heart.
Perhaps, before he obtained the great treasure left behind by Emperor Wu of Samsara, he would be able to obtain a windfall, and presumably, that place would have many good things.
Otherwise, why would the powers of the Foreign Lands like Skywolf Fort, Blade Sect, Empyrean Temple, and Emotion Severing Sect flock to it like a flock of ducks?
After all, no one was stupid, and no one would do something that was strenuous and thankless.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the central area in the sky above the combat arena, and Zi Shang who'd admitted defeat after being challenged by him earlier was standing there.
After Zi Shang entered the arena, his gaze had descended onto Duan Lingtian at the first possible moment.
Precisely speaking, it descended onto Feng Tianwu.
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian's face sank when he saw this, and cold lights flickered within his eyes. This Zi Shang actually really wants to go against Tian Wu.
"I challenge the possessor of the number 7 token, Feng Tianwu!"
Zi Shang spoke out and directly challenged Feng Tianwu.
Feng Tianwu flew out to stand in confrontation with Zi Shang, and her beautiful face was filled with a calm expression.
Whoosh!
Instantly, the scene was in an uproar.
"Zi Shang admitted defeat before Duan Lingtian earlier, yet he actually wants to challenge Feng Tianwu now … Could it be that he thinks Feng Tianwu is inferior to Duan Lingtian?"
"The strength that Duan Lingtian has revealed now seems to be far inferior to Feng Tianwu, right?"
"Up until now, Duan Lingtian has revealed a cultivation at the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage and his second level Intermediate Wind Concept … On the other hand, not only has Feng Tianwu revealed a cultivation at the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage, she's even revealed her fourth level Intermediate Fire Concept!"
"Zi Shang, Duan Lingtian, and Feng Tianwu are all members of the Darkhan Dynasty … Logically speaking, he ought to know who's stronger between Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu. Since he chose Feng Tianwu, I presume he knows that Feng Tianwu's strength is weaker than Duan Lingtian. "
"It ought to be like this."
…
The representatives and young geniuses of the various Dynasties discussed animatedly, and the sky above the combat arena seemed to have become a bustling market.
"Second level of the Void Interpretation Stage? Fourth level Fire Concept? "
No matter if it was the three monks from the Empyrean Temple or the Emotion Severing Sect's Pei An and Zhang Yan, all of them looked at Feng Tianwu with surprised expressions when they heard the discussions in the surroundings.
This young woman looked to be a little over 20 at most.
Not only is she a second level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist, she's even comprehended fourth level Fire Concept?
"Vice Fort Master Ning, how old is this little girl?"
Hui Ming looked at Ning Can and asked curiously.
"Hmph!"
Ning Can grunted coldly. "25."
25?
As soon as Ning Can finished speaking, it wasn't just Hui Ming, Hui Jing, and the young monk behind them, even Pei An and Zhang Yan were greatly shocked.
Of course, even though Pei An and Zhang Yan were shocked, they didn't reveal it on their faces, and only a trace of astonishment flashed past their eyes.
The members of the Emotion Severing Sect were emotionless, and even if the world was turned upside down, their expressions would still be composed as before.
A wisp of a cold smile appeared on the corners of Zi Shang's mouth as he looked at Feng Tianwu.
Originally, there was no enmity between him and Feng Tianwu, but because Feng Tianwu and Duan Lingtian were close, he'd taken Feng Tianwu to be his enemy in his heart.
Now, his Master had ordered him to kill Feng Tianwu, so he went with the flow and intended to kill Feng Tianwu.
"Unleash your 'secret technique'," said the old man.
Feng Tianwu stood in confrontation with Zi Shang as she spoke indifferently.
Secret technique?
As soon as Feng Tianwu spoke, it caused the surrounding spectators to be stunned.
"Looks like Zi Shang has really concealed his strength."
Many people recovered from their shock and sighed with emotion.
Right when numerous gazes descended onto Zi Shang, Zi Shang sneered. "As you wish!"
Instantly, a small black dot appeared between Zi Shang's brows, and it was clearly exposed under the gazes of everyone present. Subsequently, the small black dot ceaselessly enlarged.
In the end, it transformed into a black colored flame brand.
"This is …"
The scene before them caused the surrounding spectators to be stunned, and they completely didn't know what had happened.
The changes on Zi Shang's body were too strange when it entered into their eyes.
"Hmm?"
