There was an independent martial practice grounds in the depths of this estate, and an entire row of pavilions stood at both sides of the martial practice grounds.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
Under Ke Zheng's lead, they'd just approached the martial practice grounds when Duan Lingtian heard a wave of enormous sounds that were like thunderclaps sounding out from within.
When he looked carefully, there were two young men around the age of 35 sparring.
The two of them were evenly matched in their battle, and it was difficult to determine a victor.
"Two second level Void Interpretation Stage martial artists?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared fixedly at the two young men in the distance, and his Spiritual Force detected the cultivations of the two at the first possible moment.
"They're the two Void Interpretation Stage disciples that our Wood Peak has recently recruited."
Ke Zheng said to Duan Lingtian, "You're the third."
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Actually, even if Ke Zheng didn't say it, he was roughly able to guess the identities of the two people.
"Ke Zheng!"
Right at this moment, an aged figure flashed out swiftly from a pavilion at the side of the martial practice grounds, and it seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind that arrived before Duan Lingtian and the others. It was a single armed old man.
The old man's eyes emitted bright lights as his body faintly emitted an unfathomable aura. Obviously, he was an existence with extraordinary strength.
"Another Void Transformation Stage expert!"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he was shocked in his heart.
"Senior Brother!"
Ke Zheng bowed respectfully when facing the single armed old man, and he didn't dare be disrespectful.
"Martial Uncle!"
Chen Wei bowed as well.
"How were your gains this time?"
The single armed old man asked with slight anticipation.
From the beginning until the end, he didn't spare a glance at the nearby Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan. Perhaps as far as he was concerned, these two people were unable to satisfy the conditions of the Five Element Sect's recruitment of disciples this time.
Even though there were only two conditions for the Five Element Sect's recruitment of disciples this time.
If these two conditions were separated, then they were nothing, and the people that satisfied them would form groups.
However, when they were combined together, they could be considered to be harsh.
Under the age of 40!
Void Interpretation Stage martial artist!
Even in the Five Element Sect, there were only around 100 Void Interpretation Stage disciples below the age of 40. Even if they were evenly distributed among the five peaks, each peak would only have 20 people.
"Senior Brother, he's Duan Lingtian, a disciple that I dared to take for our Wood Peak. Besides that, the little girl by his side will also be a disciple of our Wood Peak in the future. "
Ke Zheng smiled as he introduced Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan to the one-armed old man.
"Them?"
The one-armed old man frowned as he sized up Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan from top to bottom, and he thought that the two of them were taken into the Wood Peak by Ke Zheng because of their high natural talent.
"Martial Uncle, don't underestimate Brother Ling Tian just because he's young … With his strength, he'll be able to defeat the joint forces of those two Junior Brothers in a single move."
As Chen Wei spoke, he looked at the two young men in the distance that had just stopped. As he spoke, he intentionally raised his voice, and it was clearly transmitted into the ears of the two young men.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Wei finished speaking, the two young men walked over with gloomy expressions.
The one-armed old man glanced at Duan Lingtian with slight surprise when he heard Chen Wei, yet he didn't say anything and instead waited with interest for the arrival of the two young men.
"Senior Brother Chen, we admit that we're inferior to you, but you can't insult us like this!"
The two disciples that had just joined the Five Element Sect's Wood Peak walked over in a short moment, and they looked at Duan Lingtian with gloomy expressions. "He defeated the joint forces of the two of us in a single move?"
"Exactly! On what basis? "
The two Wood Peak disciples were extremely furious, and they looked at Duan Lingtian with a provocative expression.
"Hmph! My Elder Brother Duan is much more formidable than the two of you. "
Ye Xuan grunted and spoke bluntly.
"We'll only know if he's more formidable than us after we try … Elders, what do the two of you think?"
As he finished speaking, one of the Wood Peak disciples glanced at Ke Zheng and the one-armed old man with a seeking gaze, and when he saw the two old men nodding lightly, a wisp of an evil smile appeared on his face.
Subsequently, he looked at Duan Lingtian and ridiculed. "Kid, there's no need for the two of us to join forces … I alone, a single hand is sufficient to defeat you!"
"Is that so?"
Duan Lingtian smiled as well, and he smiled indifferently and indifferently.
He was able to discern that Chen Wei had instigated the matter before him and Ke Zheng had tacitly agreed to it, and it was undoubtedly because they wanted the one-armed old man to witness his strength.
So he cooperated with them.
"Speak after you defeat my Elder Brother Duan … Otherwise, you're bragging!"
Ye Xuan made a face at the Wood Peak disciple that provoked Duan Lingtian as she spoke childishly.
"Little girl, then I'll let you take a good look at how your Big Brother Duan is going to be …"
The Wood Peak disciple revealed an evil smile as he raised his hand as he spoke.
But he hadn't finished speaking when he felt a vast force assault his face, and before he could react to what was going on, the vast force had already descended onto his body.
Bang!
In the next moment, he felt intense pain come from his chest as his vital blood roiled, and his entire body was blasted flying like an arrow that left the bow, and he soared through the clouds before fiercely crashing onto the ground.
"Good!"
The one-armed old man stared at Duan Lingtian with a bright light in his eyes. The speed Duan Lingtian attacked earlier was so swift that even he couldn't help but be surprised. "Little Fellow, your strength ought to be even stronger than Chen Wei, right?"
"It's alright … I'm able to slap him flying with a single palm strike."
Duan Lingtian spoke indifferently. He remembered that it was Chen Wei who'd intentionally made a fool of him earlier, so he didn't hold back in the slightest when he answered the one-armed old man now.
The one-armed old man was stunned, and then he looked at Chen Wei. When he saw Chen Wei nod with a bitter smile, he couldn't help but roar with laughter. "Good, good!"
"Senior Brother, I'll leave Duan Lingtian to you … There's also this little girl. I've already promised Duan Lingtian to allow her to join our Wood Peak as well."
Ke Zheng spoke respectfully to the one-armed old man, and then he bid his farewells to Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan before turning around and leaving with Chen Wei.
His entire movement was smooth like flowing water, and it was extremely elegant.
"You're called Duan Lingtian?"
The one-armed old man looked at Duan Lingtian as he asked, and he completely didn't have the contempt from before.
"Elder, how should I address you?"
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"You can just call me Elder Yang … Let's go, I'll arrange a place for both of you to stay."
The one-armed old man warmly brought Duan Lingtian and Ye Xuan to a row of pavilions at the side of the Martial Practice Grounds, and he arranged a place for them to stay.
"You weren't able to react in the slightest when he attacked earlier?"
The other Wood Peak disciple supported up the Wood Peak disciple that was easily blasted flying by Duan Lingtian, and he asked with an astounded expression.
"I didn't."
The latter gritted his teeth and stood up, and besides a bitter smile, there was a trace of seriousness on his face. "I must report the appearance of such a young expert in the Wood Peak to Elder Tang as soon as possible!"
"You're injured, go back and rest first. I'll personally notify Elder Tang of this matter … I truly never imagined that a place as weak as the Wood Peak would be able to find such an outstanding young expert. "
The former took a deep breath, and his expression was extremely serious.
"Alright."
Subsequently, the injured Wood Peak disciple returned to his pavilion to rest, whereas the other walked out and left the Wood Peak's base in Settlement City.
"Hmph!"
All of this was noticed by the one-armed old man, and the old man grunted coldly. "It's really as I expected … Elder Tang? The Earth Peak is going slightly too far! "
As he finished muttering to himself, two cold lights shot out from the old man's eyes, and his clothes fluttered without any wind as he emitted a vast and powerful aura.
"Interesting."
On the pavilion, Duan Lingtian stood on the balcony as he looked at the one-armed old man that descended from the sky, and a wisp of a smile suffused the corners of his mouth.
He'd noticed the movements of those two Wood Peak disciples earlier.
But never had he imagined that those two people were actually spies.
"If Elder Ke knows that the two Wood Peak disciples he found are spies, I wonder what sort of expression he would have?"
Unknowingly, a wisp of a deep smile suffused Duan Lingtian's face.
As for the origins of the two spies, he was easily able to guess that they were surely from the Water Peak, Fire Peak, and Earth Peak of the Five Element Sect.
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled before returning to his room, and he cultivated as he comprehended Concept.
Settlement City, on the other side.
Outside the high walls of the enormous estate, a swift figure flashed in, and in a short moment, it headed towards the depths of the estate before finally stopping at the rear garden that was covered in luxuriant flowers and plants.
At the center of the rear garden was a pergola, and an old man was sitting there playing chess.
The old man held a white chess piece in his left hand and a black chess piece in his right hand, and he played chess by himself with extreme delight.
"Elder Tang."
The unexpected guest appeared and arrived before the pergola before bowing respectfully to the old man.
The old man seemed to not be surprised in the slightest by the sudden appearance of this person, and he continued playing chess as he asked indifferently. "Is there anything?"
"Yes."
The person replied, and then he said, "Ke Zheng brought back a person today."
"Oh? Ke Zheng really found a Void Interpretation Stage martial artist below the age of 40 outside? "
The old man was slightly surprised, but he still continued playing chess, and his emotions didn't seem to fluctuate in the slightest.
"Yes. It's a young man that looks to be around the age of 25 at most … "
The person replied once more with a serious tone.
"25 years old?"
The old man finally put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at the person as he asked with a low voice. "Are you sure he's a Void Interpretation Stage martial artist? Even if it's in our Five Element Sect's Gold Peak, a Void Interpretation Stage martial artist around the age of 25 is a rare genius in the Martial Dao that's hard to come by in a hundred years! "
The person nodded and said with slight fear. "Chai Kun didn't even have the time to react when he was blasted flying … Besides that, Chen Wei admitted his strength was inferior to him."
"What?!"
Finally, the old man's face went grim as he stood up abruptly, and he stared at the person with a fierce gaze. "He fought Chen Wei?"
"No." The person shook his head.
When the old man heaved a sigh of relief, he said, "But when he told Yang Ling that he could slap Chen Wei flying with a single palm strike, based on Chen Wei's expression, it seemed … to be true."
"Slap Chen Wei flying with a single palm strike?"
