"Mother-Child Chain Sword?"
As he looked at Su Li who'd become the center of attention after killing Lu Yong, Duan Lingtian muttered to himself.
Earlier, when Su Li abandoned the enormous sword and the enormous sword was blasted into pieces by Lu Yong, Duan Lingtian had seen Su Li's movements that were like a bolt of lightning.
After abandoning the enormous sword, Su Li used his body to control the chain sword at the first possible moment and killed Lu Yong who didn't have the time to react.
Lu Yong had a strength that was stronger than Su Li, yet a single mistake caused him to perish. It was lamentable.
"Even though the Mother-Child Chain Sword Su Li cultivates is only a low grade heaven rank sword skill, but his actions from before have obviously already been cultivated to the Mastery Stage!"
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
Su Li was really a natural sword cultivator.
"Good!!"
"Amazing!!"
…
Meanwhile, the surrounding spectators that were shocked by Su Li's actions recovered from their shock and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
As far as they were concerned, the sword skill Su Li executed earlier was miraculous!
So what if there was a difference of five ancient horned dragons?
He'd still killed his opponent while being weak!
Whoosh!
Under the gazes of everyone present, Su Li flew down and arrived before Duan Lingtian in a short moment, and then he said with a smile, "Duan Lingtian, I've helped you take revenge … How will you repay me?"
If it was another person, then out of consideration that the person was Feng Wei's personal disciple, Su Li might not kill the person.
But Lu Yong had once made a move against Duan Lingtian in the Illusory Purgatory during the first round of the selections. According to Zhang Shou Yong, Duan Lingtian had almost died at the hands of Lu Yong.
It was precisely because of this that he'd killed Lu Yong!
Duan Lingtian was a friend he'd gotten to know since he was young, and Duan Lingtian had even generously lent him a hand when he needed help. In his heart, Duan Lingtian had an extremely special position.
No matter who it was, anyone that wanted to kill Duan Lingtian was the enemy of Su Li!
"What do you want in return?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile.
"Alright, I was just joking."
Su Li shook his head and smiled.
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes as a hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes.
Actually, at the instant Su Li killed Lu Yong, he'd already guessed Su Li's motive for killing Lu Yong.
It was to avenge him!
Otherwise, Su Li was completely capable of heavily injuring Lu Yong, and there was no need to kill Lu Yong at all.
Because killing Lu Yong was of no benefit to him, and it was even to the extent that he would offend the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, Feng Wei.
This point could be seen from the hateful gaze Feng Wei shot at Su Li.
Duan Lingtian didn't say any more words of gratitude because there was no need. His friendship with Su Li didn't require these superficial things.
Nothing needed to be said.
"The possessor of the number 6 token, Lu Yong, has challenged the possessor of the number 10 token, Su Li, and failed. Su Li has obtained the number 6 token! Besides that, because of Lu Yong's death, the top 10 of the martial competition lacks a position, and it's filled by the possessor of the number 11 token. "
Ning Can announced loudly.
The possessor of the number 11 token was precisely Zhang Shou Yong, and he'd obtained Su Li's number 10 token.
As for Su Li, he'd obtained Lu Yong's number 6 token.
"Su Li, looks like I have to thank you as well."
Zhang Shou Yong originally thought that he had no fate with the top 10 of the martial competition, yet never had he imagined that things would take a turn and allow him to enter the top 10.
In other words, even if he admitted defeat nine times successively and lost to the possessors of the number 1 to 9 token, he would still be a person in the top 10 of the martial competition.
Moreover, Zhang Shou Yong didn't intend to accept the challenge of anyone because he knew that there was a certain gap between him and the nine people in front of him.
Even if he made a move, he would only be asking for humiliation.
It would be better to stand here and wait for the rewards for the top 10.
The fourth round of the selections continued.
The possessor of the number 7 token, Feng Tianwu, seemed to have transformed into a Tinder Elf that arrived at the central area of the sky above the combat arena in a short moment.
Her gaze descended onto the possessor of the number 9 token, Ye Ling, at the first possible moment, and she challenged her by name.
Ye Ling took a deep breath before flying out to meet Feng Tianwu's gaze.
Now, Ye Ling who'd witnessed Feng Tianwu's true strength didn't dare underestimate Feng Tianwu in the slightest.
Even though Feng Tianwu's cultivation was inferior to her, her comprehension of Concept far surpassed her.
So when facing Feng Tianwu now, Ye Ling seemed as if she was facing a great enemy.
The two young female experts stood in confrontation, and for a time, it drew the attention of everyone present.
Ye Ling had been renowned in the Darqing Dynasty for many years, and the people of the other Dynasties had heard of her.
Even though Feng Tianwu was beautiful like a celestial maiden and even possessed extraordinary strength, yet she was unknown before this.
But after Feng Tianwu made a move earlier, no one dared question Feng Tianwu's strength. Everyone knew that this young woman that was beautiful like a celestial maiden didn't only possess a drop dead gorgeous appearance, her strength far surpassed the numerous experts of the younger generation.
She was only 25 years old, second level Void Interpretation Stage, and had comprehended fourth level Void Interpretation Concept.
Not to mention a female martial artist, even if it was a male martial artist, how many people were capable of accomplishing this?
"Ha!"
Ye Ling shouted out in a delicate voice and was the first to make a move. The sword in her hand was like a swimming dragon that was peerlessly graceful, and it flashed out like a flying leaf to lightly tap towards Feng Tianwu.
In the surroundings of the sword, there seemed to be strands of jade green ripples coiled and pulsated, and it was the material form of Water Concept.
Swish!
The sword strike was ordinary, yet it contained an extraordinary strength.
In the sky, the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth condensed into form.
98 ancient horned dragon silhouettes soared down from the sky along with Ye Ling who'd transformed into flying cotton, and they bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced towards Feng Tianwu.
Swoosh!
Feng Tianwu moved, she was swift like the wind and flashed like fire, and she moved to intercept Ye Ling in a short moment.
Swish!
The whip that was coiled with flames was like a swimming spirit serpent, and the serpent's tail swept out to fearlessly intercept the sharp sword in Ye Ling's hand.
Whoosh!
In the sky, the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth rose abruptly and transformed into 100 ancient horned dragon silhouettes, and it was an entire two more than the ancient horned dragon silhouettes in the sky above Ye Ling.
The 100 ancient horned dragon silhouettes bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced towards the 98 ancient horned dragon silhouettes, and they fought together. For a time, they were evenly matched.
Clang!
The grade three spirit whip and grade three spirit sword collided, and both of them shook before retreating at the same time.
At the instant they retreated, both of them advanced side by side and charged towards each other.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
…
For a time, the sword silhouettes and whip silhouettes that covered the sky crisscrossed past each other like waves of a violent storm, and the two beautiful figures were like fire and water as they ceaselessly collided with each other.
In the end, it was still Feng Tianwu that gained the upper hand, and she injured Ye Ling in a spurt of energy to obtain the final victory.
Ye Ling gasped for breath as she looked at the beautiful figure in the distance, and her gaze was as complicated as it could be.
Could it be that this young woman that wore red clothes and was like a fire spirit is really the darling of the heavens?
Not only did she possess a drop dead gorgeous appearance that aroused envy in others, she also possessed a strength that shocked others.
"I originally thought that the Darqing Dynasty's Ye Ling could be considered to be the number one female expert in the younger generation of our ten Dynasties … But now it would seem that it isn't so."
"The Darkhan Dynasty's Feng Tianwu is the true number one female expert in the younger generation of our ten Dynasties!"
"It's the first time I've seen a peerless beauty with such natural talent!"
…
The surrounding spectators sighed with emotion.
Ou Chen, the possessor of the number 8 token, stood in the distant sky, and he stared at Feng Tianwu with a gaze that was filled with fear and seriousness.
Even though he felt that his strength surpassed Ye Ling, it wasn't by much.
Once he faced Feng Tianwu, he didn't have complete confidence.
It would be fine if it was another person, but this Feng Tianwu was only a young woman that was merely 25 years old, and his heart was filled with bitterness when such a young woman caused him to have such feelings.
The fire spirit flashed through the sky and returned to Duan Lingtian's side.
"Could it be that the heavens are really jealous of outstanding geniuses?"
Sword 13 and Saber 5 looked at Feng Tianwu and sighed in their hearts. Feng Tianwu possessed the Fire Spirit Body, and it caused them to feel pity.
Of course, they knew as well that if it wasn't for Feng Tianwu possessing the Fire Spirit Body, it would be impossible for her to possess such accomplishments at such an age.
"So that's how it is."
In the sky, the Sect Leader of the Emotion Severing Sect, Pei An, withdrew his gaze from Feng Tianwu and muttered to himself.
"Master, what did you notice?"
Zhang Yan stood by Pei An's side and asked respectfully and reverently.
"If I'm not wrong … This Feng Tianwu ought to possess an Innate Spirit Body."
Pei An muttered, and as he finished speaking, his gaze seemed to become slightly misty as if he was recalling something.
"Innate Spirit Body?"
Zhang Yan's pupils constricted as he said with astonishment, "Could it be that she possesses an Innate Spirit Body like Senior Brother Hong?"
"Yes."
Pei An nodded lightly and said with an expressionless face, "But your Senior Brother Hong is different from her … Your Senior Brother Hong possesses the Lightning Spirit Body, whereas she ought to possess the Fire Spirit Body."
Even though Pei An's face didn't reveal any joy or anger from the beginning until now, a trace of sorrow still flashed within his eyes when he spoke up to here.
"So that's how it is."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and then he sighed as he looked at the distant young woman that was like a fire spirit.
Because of that Senior Brother Hong, he knew a little about the fate of innate spirit bodies.
It was said that before him, Senior Brother Hong was the only direct disciple that his master had taken in. However, he had never seen this Senior Brother Hong before.
When he entered the Emotion Severing Sect, that Senior Brother Hong was already gone.
It was said that when he was 30 years old, the Lightning Spirit Body's energy that was hidden in his body erupted, causing him to die young.
However, that Senior Brother Hong's innate talent and strength when he was still alive was enough to make him feel ashamed.
It was said that in the entire history of the Emotion Severing Sect, no one could compare to Senior Brother Hong's innate talent. It could be said that it was unprecedented.
"An Innate Spirit Body … After breaking through to the Void Interpretation Stage, due to some reason, one can't consume spirit fruits to cultivate. Otherwise, with Senior Brother Hong's innate talent, he could've broken through to the Void Transformation Stage before the age of 30 and escaped the fate of being an Innate Spirit Body. "
Zhang Yan sighed in his heart.
"Heaven is jealous of geniuses."
Zhang Yan muttered to himself in a low voice. Perhaps he was talking about the Senior Brother that he had never met, or perhaps he was talking about the red-clad young woman in the distance.
In the history of Cloud Continent, there seemed to be very few people who could reverse the fate of an Innate Spirit Body.
