Variant?
Tian Zhen's eyes narrowed when he heard that. Shock was written all over his face.
Naturally, he had heard of the Variant before.
They were either mediocre or heaven-defying!
Duan Lingtian was obviously the latter.
"Innate ability … He's casting his innate ability!"
Tian Zhen exclaimed through Voice Transmission as he looked at Tian Gu with dread in his eyes.
"That's the only possibility."
Tian Gu nodded. His face was extremely solemn.
After all, a human who was neither a demon nor a powerhouse like Emperor Wu could only be a Variant if he wanted to cast something similar to a Soul Skill with his Spiritual Energy.
However, Tian Gu would never have thought of that.
Duan Lingtian was able to construct an illusory space with his Spiritual Energy not because he was a Variant, but because he had inherited a Soul Brand deep in his soul.
That Soul Brand was made by an Inscription Master.
Perhaps that Inscription Master's cultivation wasn't high, but his persistence in the Dao of Inscriptions was shocking.
This could be seen from the fact that he was able to research the 'soul brand'.
"Father, I'll do my best!"
After learning about Duan Lingtian's background, Tian Zhen no longer had any thoughts of competing with Wood Peak. His attention was completely focused on a woman in the distance.
Water Peak, Tan Huan.
For Earth Peak, he must win!
"Two representatives of the younger generation from each peak?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised when he learned about the rules of the Battle of the Five Peaks from Qi Yu, the Peak Master of Wood Peak.
In the Battle of the Five Peaks, each of the five Peaks of the Five Element Sect would send out two representatives.
The two representatives had to be disciples of the younger generation.
"You and Daniu will be the representatives of Wood Peak … Work hard!"
Yang Ling said to Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu with a smile.
"Don't worry, Elder Yang. Duan Lingtian and I will definitely obtain the first place in the Battle of the Five Peaks for Wood Peak and let Wood Peak ascend to the top of the Five Peaks!"
Huang Daniu said confidently as he waved his fist.
The reason he dared to say so was because he had confidence in Duan Lingtian.
It was precisely because of this that he felt they had full confidence in assisting the Wood Peak to seize the first in the Battle of the Five Peaks.
Duan Lingtian shook his head. Of course, he could guess what Huang Daniu was thinking. He felt that Huang Daniu had underestimated the people from Gold Peak.
One had to know that even he did not dare to say that he was completely confident.
On Jin Feng's side, the two Nangong brothers would definitely go up together. He was not afraid of Nangong Yi, but he had no choice but to be afraid of Nangong Chen.
Nangong Chen was the same as him. They were both Inscriptionists.
Perhaps, Nangong Chen's attainment in the Dao of Inscription was far inferior to his. However, as an Inscription Master, Nangong Chen could control his own Spiritual Energy at will.
Furthermore, Nangong's spiritual power was at the same level as Huo Yuhao's spiritual power. Huo Yuhao's soul skill, Thousand Illusions, was of no use.
"There's no need for first place … It's enough if we can get second place."
Qi Yu shook his head before looking at Duan Lingtian. He smiled and said, "Don't you agree, Duan Lingtian?"
"I'll do my best."
Duan Lingtian replied seriously.
"I believe in you."
Qi Yu nodded his head.
On Gold Peak's side, which was also where Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, was at.
At this moment, there were two figures next to Guo Chong. They were two young men who looked exactly the same. They were a pair of twins. One of them was dressed in red while the other one was dressed in green.
They were none other than Nangong Chen and Nangong Yi.
Both of them were Guo Chong's direct disciples, and they were also his only two disciples.
Even if he only had these two disciples, it was enough for Guo Chong to be proud of himself. It was enough to make many people envious.
Whether it was Nangong Chen or Nangong Yi, both of them were Martial Dao geniuses with extraordinary innate talent. They were only in their early thirties, but they were already the leader of the younger generation in the Five Element Sect.
"There's no problem, right?"
Guo Chong suddenly asked. It was obvious that he was asking his two direct disciples next to him.
"He's no match for Duan Lingtian."
The surprising thing was, the person who spoke first was not Nangong Yi. Instead, it was Nangong Chen who had a cold expression on his face.
When Nangong Chen answered Guo Chong's question, it was obvious that the cold expression on his face had eased up a little.
"Oh?"
Guo Chong's eyes lit up as he asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Master, that Duan Lingtian is a little monster … According to me and second …"
Nangong Yi was just about to say "second brother" when he noticed Nangong Chen's cold gaze that was as sharp as a knife. He could only swallow the word "brother" back down.
After swallowing the word back down, he continued to say, "According to our speculations, Duan Lingtian should be a Variant!"
Variant?
The moment Nangong Yi's words left his mouth, Guo Chong's eyes narrowed as a shocked expression appeared on his face.
As the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, he naturally knew what the word Variant meant.
A Variant was either mediocre or heaven-defying!
It was obvious that Duan Lingtian was not the former.
"Why do you think he's a Variant?"
Guo Chong asked.
Nangong Yi took a deep breath and told him everything that he had learned so far.
Naturally, he was talking about how Duan Lingtian made fun of Hu Fei.
"Chen 'er, are you sure it's Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Energy that created the illusion?"
When Guo Chong heard this, he looked at Nangong Chen with a solemn expression on his face.
Although he had noticed Hu Fei's abnormality when he first arrived, he thought it was Duan Lingtian and the other two who had used some external force when he heard Hu Fei mentioning something about an external force.
It did not cross his mind that it was not an external force but Duan Lingtian, the Variant's innate ability!
"Yes."
Nangong Chen nodded his head firmly. He was extremely certain.
Guo Chong took a deep breath. He knew this disciple of his very well. If he did not have 100% confidence, he would not have nodded his head.
"What's the level of his Spiritual Energy?"
Guo Chong continued to ask.
"It's not inferior to mine."
Nangong Chen replied truthfully.
"Seventh Level Void Interpretation?"
Guo Chong's eyes narrowed as he said in shock, "No wonder you said Yi 'er is not a match for him … It seems like he's either hiding his cultivation base or he's consumed a spirit fruit that can improve his soul."
As the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, Guo Chong was very knowledgeable. In just a short moment, he had already guessed many things.
"Chen 'er, how confident are you that you can defeat him?"
Guo Chong asked.
"90%."
Nangong Chen pondered for a moment before replying.
"You're not 100% confident?"
Guo Chong frowned.
Gold Peak had always been the number one Peak in the Five Element Sect. No matter how many years had passed, its position had never changed.
However, if Gold Peak was defeated by Wood Peak today, the legend that Gold Peak had created in the Five Element Sect would be broken.
That was not something he wanted to see.
"No."
Nangong Chen shook his head and stared coldly at the purple figure in the distance. "He gives me a very dangerous feeling … I am not sure if a miracle will happen on him."
A miracle?
When he heard Nangong Chen's words, Guo Chong frowned. Then, he smiled and said, "That's right. After all, he is a Variant."
On Cloud Continent, Variants, especially those who possessed innate abilities, were known as the favored children of the heavens.
In the history of the Five Element Sect, there had never been a Variant.
However, today, when Guo Chong was in charge of the Five Element Sect, an anomaly had appeared. Just this point alone was enough to make the later generations of the Five Element Sect remember him forever.
At that point they would say,
In the past, our Five Element Sect had a Sect Leader named Guo Chong. During the era when he was in charge of the sect, a Variant appeared in the sect. A Variant with an innate ability.
On Fire Peak's side.
Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak, had a grave expression on his face. His eyes that were staring at the few people from Wood Peak seemed to be burning with extreme fury. It was a fury that could burn everything into ashes.
To him, it was a humiliation that his direct disciple was humiliated in such a way. It was a naked humiliation!
"Duan Lingtian, Huang Daniu … As long as you dare to fight with me, even if I can't kill you, I'll definitely cripple you! Only then can I, Hu Fei, vent the hatred in my heart! "
It was as though there were only two young men left in the world in Hu Fei's eyes. His eyes that were staring at the two of them were filled with intense red as though he was about to devour them.
On Water Peak's side.
"Huan'er, you've already made a breakthrough to the Sixth Level Void Interpretation. It shouldn't be a problem for you to suppress the two people from Wood Peak … However, I still hope that you can suppress Tian Zhen as well so that Water Peak can continue to be the Third Peak of the Five Element Sect."
Yu Fang, the Peak Master of Water Peak, said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Master. I'll definitely give it my all!"
Tan Huan nodded her head heavily.
Currently, other than the four young disciples from Gold Peak and Wood Peak who were already in their positions, there were three more people from Fire Peak, Water Peak, and Earth Peak besides Hu Fei, Tan Huan, and Tian Zhen.
Soon, half an hour had passed by.
"Same old rules."
Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, glanced at the Peak Masters of the other four Peaks and said slowly.
Just when the four Peak Masters of the Five Element Sect narrowed their eyes and the surrounding Five Element Sect's disciples were staring at them intently, Guo Chong spoke.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
As Guo Chong raised his hand, ten streaks of light shot up into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in just a blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu were puzzled. They had just arrived at the Five Element Sect not long ago, and this was their first time experiencing the Battle of the Five Peaks. It was also their first time witnessing such a scene.
"It's ten pieces of paper … On the pieces of paper, the numbers 1 to 10 are written. The ten young talents from the Five Peaks will fight against each other according to the numbers written on the paper until the final ranking is determined," Chen Wei explained.
"The Battle of the Five Peaks is divided into two stages, the individual battle and the group battle … This is the first stage, the individual battle."
Duan Lingtian finally understood.
Huang Daniu's eyes narrowed as he exclaimed in shock, "Those are actually ten pieces of paper? Oh my goodness … As expected of the Sect Leader! His strength is really terrifying! If he throws those pieces of paper at me, wouldn't I be in grave danger? "
Compared to Huang Daniu who was making a fuss over nothing, Duan Ling Tian had a calm expression.
Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, had most likely already reached the peak of the Void.
To a powerhouse at the peak of the Void, even a piece of paper could be turned into a lethal weapon in their hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
