After Tian Zhen was defeated, his face turned extremely pale.
He was well aware of the significance of the defeat.
In the distance, Tian Gu, the Peak Master of Earth Peak, looked a little desolate as he sighed. "Looks like our Earth Peak is destined to come in last this time."
Although this was only the individual battle of the Battle of the Five Peaks, the team battle had not begun yet.
However, generally speaking, the Peak that had the upper hand in the individual battle would not have a bad result in the team battle.
Tian Zhen retreated with a solemn expression.
On the other hand, Tan Huan returned to Yu Fang, the Peak Master of Water Peak, with a beaming smile.
"Huan'er, well done!"
A gentle smile appeared on Yu Fang's face. She was very satisfied with Tan Huan's performance.
Although her initial goal was to be third place, Yu Fang's Wood Peak had already reached the third place.
But since the Wood Peak's Huang Daniu revealed a shocking strength and the Wood Peak had Duan Ling Tian as its trump card, she didn't dare think like this.
Duan Lingtian!
Yu Fang's gaze quickly landed on the purple figure in the distance.
The other people's gazes landed on Duan Ling Tian as well.
Now, it was Duan Lingtian's turn to issue a challenge.
Sensing the gazes that were directed at him, Duan Lingtian remained calm as he flew out. In just a blink of an eye, he arrived at the empty space in front of him.
His gaze immediately locked onto Nangong Yi.
"This Duan Lingtian wants to challenge Senior Brother Yi?"
At once, many of the Five Element Sect's disciples who followed Duan Lingtian's gaze were stunned.
They knew about Nangong Yi's strength.
Even if Huang Daniu from Wood Peak borrowed the Earth Energy, he was still no match for him.
"Nangong Yi!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Duan Lingtian called out his name and issued a challenge.
Nangong Yi did not seem to be surprised when he was called out by Duan Lingtian. He flew out and confronted Duan Lingtian.
"He really wants to challenge Senior Brother Yi!"
"He's the trump card of the Wood Peak, could it be that he really possesses some sort of ability?"
"Peak Master Qi Yu of the Wood Peak seized the papers numbered 5 and 6. Since he made Duan Lingtian make a move first, I presume he takes Duan Lingtian to be the strongest trump card of the Wood Peak."
"This Duan Lingtian seems to have some strength … However, it won't be easy to defeat Senior Brother Yi."
…
The gazes of the Five Element Sect's disciples landed on Duan Lingtian.
They were curious from the bottom of their hearts towards this' trump card 'of the Wood Peak.
"Although Nangong Chen said that I am no match for you … I still want to give it a try."
Nangong Yi, who was confronting Duan Lingtian, finally spoke. The moment he opened his mouth, other than Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, Nangong Chen, and the few people from Mu Feng, all of them were stunned.
"Senior … Senior Brother Chen said that Senior Brother Yi isn't a match for Duan Lingtian?"
"How is this possible?!"
…
Many of the Five Element Sect's disciples found it hard to believe.
"This Duan Lingtian looks much younger than Senior Brother Yi … Can he really defeat Senior Brother Yi?"
Many of the Five Element Sect's disciples expressed their doubts.
"Please."
Upon hearing Nangong Yi's words, Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged as he nodded his head nonchalantly.
The moment Nangong Yi heard this, he responded with a smile before his face tensed up immediately.
In the next moment, he stepped out into the air. As he stepped out into the air, the Origin Energy on his body rumbled and transformed into waves of aqua blue energy that swept out.
The aqua blue energy wrapped around his body and made him look as though he had transformed into a giant sea beast as he pounced towards Duan Lingtian in a menacing manner.
In the sky, 190 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons swept out in an imposing manner.
Thousand Illusions!
In the face of Nangong Yi who was charging at him menacingly, Duan Lingtian did not dare to be careless at all. His eyes gleamed as he immediately used his strongest technique, the Soul Skill.
An illusory space instantly formed and enveloped the area within a radius of 100 meters.
"He's coming!"
Tian Gu, the Peak Master of Earth Peak, narrowed his eyes as though he had already guessed that this would happen.
Boom!
After Nangong Yi arrived near Duan Lingtian, he threw out a punch that contained a vast aqua blue energy. It swept out like a giant sea beast stretching out its giant claw towards Duan Lingtian.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Duan Lingtian seemed to have foreseen this. He did not show much speed as he casually moved to the side and avoided Nangong Yi's attack.
This scene seemed to have been discussed with Nangong Yi beforehand.
Only those who knew about Duan Lingtian's background knew that all of this was caused by the illusory space that Duan Lingtian controlled.
"That Duan Lingtian has already moved aside. Why is Senior Brother Yi still charging forward and attacking the air?"
"Why do I feel that this scene is somewhat familiar?"
"Before the Battle of the Five Peaks began, didn't something similar happen when Senior Brother Hu Fei from Fire Peak attacked Duan Lingtian?"
"Isn't that an external force?"
…
Many people felt that the scene in front of them was very familiar. It was exactly the same as the scene when Hu Fei attacked Duan Lingtian and did not continue to pursue him after his attack missed.
"It's an external force!"
Hu Fei, who had regained his consciousness and recovered with the help of Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak, had a change of expression when he saw this scene.
Upon hearing this, Cha Bai's eyes lit up immediately.
Then, he looked at Guo Chong and said loudly, "Sect Leader, this Duan Lingtian used an external force … According to the rules of the Battle of the Five Peaks in our Five Element Sect, he should be disqualified from participating in the Battle of the Five Peaks!"
The moment Cha Bai's words left his mouth, it attracted the attention of many Five Element Sect's disciples.
"Looks like my eyesight is not bad. I can see that Duan Lingtian used an external force."
"Bah! Isn't it me who reminded you? "
…
The scene immediately became lively. Many people thought that Duan Lingtian would be disqualified.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian happened to pass by Nangong Yi.
He almost brushed past Nangong Yi's rolling aqua blue energy. A part of the gentle and vast aqua blue energy entered his body mercilessly.
It was the remaining energy of Nangong Yi's all-out attack that was being used by Duan Lingtian.
As for the purpose of using it, it was naturally the same as the time when he borrowed Qi Feng's energy to activate the tyrannical medicinal efficacy of the Nirvana Pill during the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
This time, Duan Lingtian wanted to use the same trick again. He wanted to borrow Nangong Yi's energy to help him complete the breakthrough.
Of course, with his current strength, he did not dare to face Nangong Yi head-on.
Otherwise, with Nangong Yi's strength that was equivalent to the strength of 190 ancient horned dragons, he could easily injure him, let alone borrow Nangong Yi's energy to make a breakthrough.
If he unleashed his full strength, even if he used the other three types of Elementary Concepts and did not use any spirit weapons, his strength would only be equivalent to the strength of 130 ancient horned dragons.
Compared to Nangong Yi's strength, it was not on the same level at all.
For this reason, he could only use his wits.
He avoided Nangong Yi's attack and brushed past Nangong Yi's attack, allowing the remaining energy of Nangong Yi's attack to enter his body so that he could use it to help him make a breakthrough.
Right now, he was only one step away from making a breakthrough to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation!
As long as his cultivation base made a breakthrough to the Seventh Level Void Interpretation, his Spiritual Energy would be elevated to the Eighth Level Void Interpretation.
At that time, it would not be difficult for him to defeat Nangong Chen.
Because Nangong Chen was an Inscription Master, and their Spiritual Energy was also at the Seventh Level Void Interpretation, his Soul Skill was useless against Nangong Chen.
However, if his Spiritual Energy could be elevated to the Eighth Level Void Interpretation, even if Nangong Yi was an Inscription Master, he would not be able to shake his Spiritual Energy and destroy the Illusory Space that he created with his Soul Skill.
Once Nangong Yi was trapped in his Illusory Space, he was destined to be a fish on his chopping board.
However, imagination was beautiful, reality was cruel.
No matter how Duan Lingtian borrowed Nangong Yi's strength, the medicinal efficacy of the Rebirth Pill was still unaffected even when his meridians were on the verge of collapse.
"Looks like because I used the same method to activate the overbearing medicinal efficacy of the Rebirth Pill last time, it's already adapted to it this time and no longer has a sense of danger."
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly.
This was the same logic as the story of the boy who cried wolf.
Once or twice, he would be able to fool people.
However, nobody would be fooled the third time.
"Sect Leader, Duan Lingtian from Wood Peak borrowed external strength … I, Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak, request that he be disqualified from participating in the Battle of the Five Peaks immediately!"
When Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak, saw that Guo Chong was indifferent, he raised his voice again.
When he reached the end of his sentence, he could not help but feel a little angry when he saw that Guo Chong did not respond at all, "Y-You can't shield him!"
Whoosh!
The moment Cha Bai's words left his mouth, the entire place burst into an uproar.
Most of the people had their eyes on Cha Bai.
Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak, openly questioned the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect for shielding a Wood Peak disciple.
Finally, Guo Chong reacted. He glanced at Cha Bai nonchalantly, "Peak Master Cha Bai, Duan Lingtian did not borrow any external strength … If you doubt me, you can ask Peak Master Tian Gu if I'm telling the truth … He's an Inscription Master, so he can definitely confirm whether or not Duan Lingtian borrowed any external strength."
When Guo Chong reached the end of his sentence, a hint of impatience could be heard in his tone.
Before Cha Bai could ask Tian Gu, Tian Gu had already said, "Sect Leader is right. Duan Lingtian did not borrow any external strength at all … Right now, he's using his own Spiritual Energy to cast something similar to a Soul Skill to create an illusion that can affect Nangong Yi."
In fact, even if Tian Gu did not say anything, Cha Bai also realized that Guo Chong must be telling the truth.
This was because there was no need for Guo Chong to help Duan Lingtian at all.
Right now, Duan Lingtian was fighting with Guo Chong's direct disciple, Nangong Yi. Once Duan Lingtian won, the one who would be at a disadvantage would be Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, who was personally in charge of Gold Peak.
"Soul Skill?"
The moment Tian Gu's words left his mouth, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Isn't that a technique that can only be cast by special demon beasts?"
"Unless a human martial artist is as powerful as Emperor Wu, it's impossible for him to use his Spiritual Energy to fight against his enemy."
"Don't tell me that Duan Lingtian is a demon?"
…
Many of the Five Element Sect's disciples began to discuss among themselves.
"Duan Lingtian is not a demon!"
When Tian Gu saw that the group of Five Element Sect's disciples were speculating that Duan Lingtian was a demon, he continued to say, "According to my guess, Duan Lingtian should be a Variant. The technique that he cast is a unique innate ability!"
Innate ability!
The moment Tian Gu's words left his mouth, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
"Innate ability? Variant? "
