The possessor of the number 8 token, Ou Chen, entered the arena.
Ou Chen could only choose two people, the possessor of the number 9 token, Ye Ling, and the possessor of the number 10 token, Zhang Shou Yong.
Not to mention Ye Ling had just fought a battle and could refuse his challenge with the reason of resting, even if Ye Ling didn't enter the arena in the previous battle, he wouldn't choose Ye Ling for now.
Presently, he needed to preserve his strength to deal with the challenges of experts.
So now, he started to challenge from the weakest, and it was undoubtedly the best strategy.
"The possessor of the number 10 token!"
Ou Chen's gaze descended onto Zhang Shou Yong as he challenged him.
"I admit defeat."
Right when Ou Chen finished speaking, Zhang Shou Yong had already admitted defeat without the slightest hesitation.
He'd witnessed Ou Chen's strength earlier.
Ou Chen possessed a cultivation at the third level of the Void Interpretation Stage and had comprehended second level Void Interpretation Concept. Ou Chen was superior to him, so even if he accepted the challenge, the outcome would still be the same.
Subsequently, it was the possessor of the number 9 token, Ye Ling, that issued a challenge, and she could only challenge Zhang Shou Yong. Zhang Shou Yong admitted defeat.
"Number 10!"
Meanwhile, the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, Ning Can, looked at Zhang Shou Yong and asked frankly. "Are you willing to be ranked at the 10th position in the martial competition? If you are, and no one challenges you in the future, then you don't have to waste your breath and admit defeat. "
"Yes!"
Zhang Shou Yong nodded and replied frankly.
"Alright."
Ning Can nodded, and then he swept the surroundings with his gaze, causing it to descend onto the other nine people including Duan Lingtian. "The 10th position has already been confirmed. Now, we'll continue to compete for the exact rankings of the top nine … Of course, if the person ranked at the last amongst all of you is willing to be ranked equal to the number token in your possession, then you can speak out."
Presently, the person ranked at the last was Ye Ling.
But Ye Ling obviously didn't intend to be willing to be ranked at the 9th position, and she had the intention of replacing the possessor of the number 8 token, Ou Chen, in her heart.
Besides that, she wasn't convinced of Duan Lingtian and Zi Shang's strength.
After a round passed and Zhang Shou Yong was eliminated, the other nine people continued.
As the possessor of the number 1 token, Duan Lingtian was the first to enter the arena.
Swoosh!
His figure was like a gale as he arrived at the central area in the sky above the combat arena in the blink of an eye.
"Number 9!"
At the first moment, Duan Ling Tian's gaze locked onto Ye Ling.
Ye Ling was not surprised to be challenged by Duan Lingtian.
Even though even Zi Shang who'd executed a secret technique to raise his strength to the sixth level of the Void Interpretation Stage had admitted defeat before Duan Lingtian.
But as far as he was concerned, Zi Shang was like a candle that looked good on the outside but was useless. Otherwise, how could he have surrendered before Feng Tianwu without a fight?
"Duan Lingtian, you have to be careful … Otherwise, the most precious command token in your possession will change owners."
Ye Ling reminded Duan Lingtian.
"I'll wait and see."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Hmph!"
As if she had noticed Duan Lingtian's contempt towards her, Ye Ling's face sank. Her figure flashed as she took the initiative to strike first. The three foot long sword in her hand drifted along with the flow of the waves as she pointed it at Duan Lingtian.
The moment she attacked, Ye Ling used her full strength without holding back!
Duan Lingtian stood in place, as if waiting for Ye Ling's attack to land on him.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
…
When they saw Ye Ling's attack coming closer and closer to Duan Lingtian, the surrounding spectators gasped, and they felt that Duan Lingtian was too careless.
Ye Ling's sword arrived before Duan Lingtian in the blink of an eye, and it was extremely close.
At the critical moment, Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed, and a dim light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
Thousand Illusions!
Instantly, Duan Lingtian's vast Spiritual Force pierced into the soul brand in the depths of his soul, and he directly executed the soul skill that belonged solely to him.
Instantly, his Spiritual Force constructed an illusory space, and the illusory space that appeared out of thin air enveloped Ye Ling.
"Duan Lingtian doesn't want to live anymore?"
When they saw Ye Ling's sword had already arrived before Duan Lingtian's chest and only needed a little bit more to penetrate through, many people felt their scalps go numb.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, even the three monks of Empyrean Temple were shocked by Duan Lingtian's actions.
Isn't this courting death?
In the distant sky, a trace of a bright light flashed within the eyes of Zhang Yan, and then he muttered to himself. "Could it be that he wants to utilize his demonic technique again?"
Duan Lingtian knew demonic techniques, and he'd heard Zi Yan mention it more than once a few years ago.
It was even to the extent that he'd witnessed it with his own two eyes!
"Demonic technique?"
Pei An's face remained expressionless when he heard Zhang Yan muttering to himself, but a trace of astonishment was mixed within the depths of his eyes.
"What's Ye Ling doing?!"
Someone exclaimed in shock and broke the silence at the scene.
When they saw Ye Ling's sword about to pierce Duan Lingtian's chest, it suddenly changed directions and stabbed madly towards the space at the side, causing everyone to be dumbstruck.
"Has Ye Ling gone mad?"
"She doesn't dare kill Duan Lingtian?"
"Wait … Something seems to be off."
…
Right when many people were surprised and bewildered, they saw a scene that caused them to be dumbstruck.
After Ye Ling moved away the sword that pierced towards Duan Lingtian, she actually turned around and attacked towards the air once more, and it was as if her opponent wasn't Duan Lingtian but the air.
Many people felt their scalps go numb when they saw this scene.
"Could it be that Ye Ling has gone mad?"
This was the thought in the hearts of most people.
Only a few people withdrew their gazes from Ye Ling and looked at Duan Lingtian with surprise and bewilderment.
These few people were naturally the two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort and the three monks of Empyrean Temple.
As for Sword 13 and Saber 5, they'd heard Su Li and Long Yun mention Duan Lingtian's ability many times, and even though they were surprised, they were mentally prepared since long ago.
"Demonic technique?"
After Pei An finished listening to Zhang Yan's narration via voice transmission, he still had an expressionless face, but when he replied to Zhang Yan, he rejected Zhang Yan's judgment. "There are no demonic techniques in this world … I feel that Duan Lingtian's ability is slightly similar to a soul skill! Of course, if he isn't an ordinary human but a variant, then this ability of his is extremely likely to be his Innate Divine Ability! "
Soul skill?
Innate Divine Ability?
Zhang Yan's expression remained unchanged, yet his eyes were filled with bewilderment. These two words were extremely unfamiliar to him.
"There's a Spiritual Force fluctuation there!"
"Ye Ling hasn't gone mad, she's instead fallen for Duan Lingtian's trick."
…
Besides the group of people from the Darkhan Dynasty that weren't surprised by what had happened to Ye Ling, the members of the other nine Dynasties had shocked expressions, and a few Void Transformation Stage Inscription Masters had even noticed some clues.
Even though they were able to utilize their Spiritual Force to interfere with the Spiritual Force that enveloped Ye Ling, they didn't dare.
What a joke!
This was Skywolf Fort, and the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties was being carried out. If they dared interfere and the Skywolf Fort blamed them, they would surely die without a doubt.
Swoosh!
Under the gazes of everyone present, Duan Lingtian who'd been standing on the spot without moving since the beginning finally moved.
Whirlwind!
His entire body seemed to have transformed into a gale that charged towards Ye Ling.
Ye Ling seemed to be ignorant when facing his charge, and she still swung her sword to battle the air as if she'd really gone mad.
Bang!
Duan Lingtian easily moved around to Ye Ling's side before casually slapping out with his palm to injure Ye Ling and blast her flying, causing her to temporarily not have the strength to continue fighting.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force shook to shatter the illusory space he'd constructed with his soul skill, Thousand Illusions.
"Ah!"
Ye Ling's countenance was ghastly pale as she spat out a mouthful of blood before returning to her senses.
When she saw the composed Duan Lingtian, her expression couldn't help but go grim. "You … You …"
In next to no time, the voice transmission of the representative of the Darqing Dynasty sounded out by Ye Ling's ears, and she instantly found out what had happened earlier, causing her to be terrified to the point her face went ghastly pale.
When she looked at Duan Lingtian once more, besides terror, there was only terror in the depths of Ye Ling's eyes.
So it turned out that everything she experienced earlier was fake.
"An illusory space! That was an illusory space! "
Ye Ling quickly guessed what had happened, and her first thought was if Duan Lingtian had utilized an external force similar to inscriptions or an Inscription Formation.
But with a quick thought, she felt it was impossible.
An Inscription Formation had to be set up at a fixed place, and this was Skywolf Fort. So even if Duan Lingtian really knew how to set up an Inscription Formation, he wouldn't dare act rashly.
Most importantly, she didn't sense any fluctuations of inscriptions or Inscription Formations.
It was precisely because of this that she'd confirmed one thing.
The illusory space she faced earlier was executed by Duan Lingtian himself, and it was similar to the soul skills of those special demon beasts of legend that possessed extraordinary natural talent.
"Now, I believe you have the ability to obtain the number 1 command token."
Ye Ling took a deep breath and smiled amiably to Duan Lingtian before taking the initiative to give him a flirtatious glance.
"Yes."
But unfortunately, Duan Lingtian only casually nodded to her before withdrawing.
This caused her to be instantly exasperated.
To think that she, Ye Ling, was the dignified number one figure in the younger generation of the Darqing Dynasty, and even the Emperor of the Darqing Dynasty wanted to take her as his daughter-in-law, yet this Duan Lingtian actually dared to completely disregard her.
But when Ye Ling's gaze inadvertently descended into the distance and saw Feng Tianwu who was chatting happily with Duan Lingtian, the rage on her face vanished without a trace.
She felt slightly ashamed of her inferiority before Feng Tianwu.
"Perhaps only a woman like her is worthy of him."
Ye Ling laughed with self ridicule, and then she returned to the Darqing Dynasty's group.
After Duan Lingtian left the arena, it was the turn of the possessor of the number 2 command token, and it was precisely Feng Tianwu.
After Feng Tianwu ascended the arena, her gaze locked onto the possessor of the number 8 command token, Ou Chen.
Ou Chen's cultivation and Concept were similar to Ye Ling, and his ability surpassed Ye Ling slightly. But in the end, he still lost at Feng Tianwu's hands.
The possessor of the number 3 command token, Qi Feng, ascended the arena.
Victory!
The possessor of the number 4 command token, Qin Kong, ascended the arena.
Victory!
…
Not long after, it was the turn of the possessor of the number 6 command token, Su Li, to ascend the arena. He challenged Ye Ling and won!
After Su Li, it was the possessor of the number 7 command token, Zi Shang.
As soon as Zi Shang ascended the arena, the surroundings were in an uproar. "Do all of you think Zi Shang will call out a person to challenge and then admit defeat?"
"Hahahaha … There's really such a possibility."
"Secret technique? Sixth level of the Void Interpretation Stage? It's just a candle that looks good on the surface but is useless!"
"Zi Shang, what an enormous joke!"
