"Chi!"
He Jun sized up Duan Lingtian for a moment and sneered, "Is there no one else in Aurora City? A sixteen year old kid can be ranked first in the Hidden Dragon List and become the number one person in the younger generation of Aurora City? "
"Idiot, so what if he's sixteen? Talk about it when you can defeat Duan Lingtian."
"Exactly, don't be unable to even withstand a single move from Duan Ling Tian when the time comes. That would truly be embarrassing."
Someone in the crowd made fun of him.
He Jun's face sank.
"Looks like they're quite confident in you."
He Jun looked at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian still didn't reply, as if he didn't hear He Jun at all.
"Kid, I'm talking to you!"
He Jun's face sank. It was the first time he was disregarded like this.
"Even though they haven't fought yet, their realms have already been determined. Duan Lingtian is worthy of being the number one person in the Hidden Dragon List. Even if Mt. Tai collapses in front of him, his expression won't change."
"Yeah, unlike this He Jun who's flustered and exasperated. In terms of bearing, he's not on the same level as Duan Lingtian. "
"On the same level? You think too highly of him. I think he's thousands of miles away from Duan Lingtian. "
… …
Hearing the ridicule of the crowd, He Jun's face became more and more unsightly.
"Let's see how long you can pretend for!"
He Jun was enraged. His figure trembled like a roc spreading its wings as he flashed straight towards Duan Lingtian.
Three ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form.
This He Jun was obviously a second level Core Formation martial artist as well.
Whoosh!
Seeing He Jun flashing over, Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed. No wonder He Jun was able to defeat Lin Zhuo, he had some ability.
His movement technique was the same as his, a high grade Profound Rank movement technique at the Mastery Stage.
"Watch me send you flying with one punch!"
He Jun shouted out explosively as his fist flashed out like a cannonball. Fist images whistled as they blasted towards Duan Lingtian.
From the beginning to the end, Duan Lingtian stood in the same spot, unmoving like a mountain. Even when He Jun was in front of him, he still had a calm expression.
Finally.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Duan Lingtian moved.
Dragon Painting!
Duan Lingtian's hands danced as elemental energy filled the air.
In the eyes of the surrounding people, including He Jun, Duan Lingtian's hands were not dancing randomly. It was as if they were following some kind of mysterious trajectory.
"Break!"
He Jun's gaze turned cold. His fist was like a collapsing mountain, smashing towards the palm and fist shadows that Duan Lingtian had created.
Soon, his expression changed.
That was because he realized that his punch had hit nothing but air. He didn't even touch his opponent.
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes.
Above his head, three ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form …
Finishing touch!
Duan Lingtian's finger flashed out, penetrating through the layers of 'mist' that were suffused with Origin Energy, and a piercing howl that was deafening resounded out.
His finger tapped onto He Jun's fist, instantly shattering his defensive qi barrier.
"Ah!"
He Jun emitted a shrill cry as he was blasted flying, falling onto the ground in an incomparably sorry state.
His left hand tightly clasped onto his right hand. He noticed that one of his finger bones had shattered, and the heart-piercing pain caused his body to start trembling.
He Jun consumed a Grade Eight Gold Injury Pill in a panic, then looked at Duan Lingtian with a fearful expression.
In his eyes, this 16 year old youth was no different than a demon.
Too terrifying!
"Duan Lingtian is so strong."
"Supposedly, when Duan Lingtian defeated Xiao Yu, he used the strength of four ancient mammoths … Today, he only used the strength of three ancient mammoths to defeat this He Jun."
"Obviously, Duan Lingtian was holding back."
"This He Jun probably can't even defeat Xiao Yu."
"The number one disciple of Aqua Mist City's He Clan's younger generation is only so-so."
…
The crowd was in an uproar.
"One must keep a low profile. If you don't have any ability, then don't go around setting up arenas."
Duan Lingtian ignored He Jun. Under numerous gazes of admiration and reverence, he leaped off the arena and kicked the support at the side of the combat arena.
Hua!
Instantly, the combat arena collapsed with a bang.
He Jun was buried within.
He Jun crawled out in a sorry state, his face covered in dust, like a refugee.
"Hahahaha …"
Instantly, the crowd roared with laughter.
Amidst the loud laughter, He Jun's expression was unsightly as he dashed away.
"Haha … Duan Lingtian, formidable!"
Lin Qi came to Duan Lingtian's side and gave him a thumbs up, as if he was even more excited than himself winning.
"Duan Lingtian!"
At this moment, another two people came to Duan Lingtian's side.
Li Zhong and Li Xiao.
"Is something the matter?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Li Zhong and asked in puzzlement.
"Hurry up and speak."
Li Zhong glared at Li Xiao and reprimanded.
Li Xiao's body trembled as he looked at Duan Lingtian with trepidation. "Duan Lingtian, I apologize for what I did to you in the past. I hope you can forgive me."
"Louder, did you not eat?"
Li Zhong snorted coldly. He did not give any face to this brother of his.
"Alright, let bygones be bygones."
Duan Lingtian waved his hand and smiled.
This Li Zhong's character was not bad. Thinking back, the conflict between him and him was all because of his brother Li Xiao.
Slap!
Li Zhong slapped Li Xiao's head. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank me."
"Thank you, thank you."
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and hurriedly said to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian glanced at Li Xiao indifferently and walked out with Lin Qi.
The crowd automatically opened up a path for them. The gazes that fell on Duan Lingtian were filled with reverence.
Looking at Duan Lingtian and Lin Qi's figures from afar, the crowd came back to their senses.
"He's too powerful. He defeated He Jun from the He Clan in one move. “
"As expected of the young genius who defeated Xiao Yu and is ranked first on the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》."
"Duan Lingtian is only sixteen years old. I'm sure that in the next two years, he will still be ranked first on the 《Hidden Dragon Ranking》."
"Nonsense, I'm sure of that too."
… …
In the restaurant, Duan Lingtian and Lin Qi sat opposite each other.
Duan Lingtian was originally preparing to go home, but Lin Qi forcefully dragged him to the restaurant, saying that he had something to say to him.
"What do you want to say? Why come to a restaurant, it's so grand … Can't you just say it on the way?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Lin Qi.
"Duan Lingtian, what plans do you have?"
Lin Qi went straight to the point.
"What plans?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"I'm asking you what plans you have for the future."
Lin Qi smiled bitterly.
"I don't know for now."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and thought in his heart.
Hearing Lin Qi say this, he couldn't help but recall the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp he heard about last time.
Five months from now would be the day of the Genius Camp test …
"Duan Lingtian, although you're considered to be a member of the Li family, you're a disciple with another surname after all … In the Li family, you'll at most be an elder, and the position of patriarch is destined to have no fate with you."
Lin Qi continued.
"You fellow, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Duan Lingtian scolded with a smile.
"Then I'll be frank."
Lin Qi took a deep breath and slowly said, "Half a month ago, my aunt came back once and heard about you. She's very interested in you."
"Pu!"
Duan Lingtian's face trembled when he heard this, and he spat out the rice he hadn't swallowed yet onto Lin Qi's face.
"F * * k! Lin Qi, although I'm not against a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, this kind of relationship that crosses generations is really not suitable for me … You should ask your aunt to find someone else. "
Duan Lingtian said in all seriousness.
Lin Qi was dumbstruck.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Qi wiped off the rice and saliva that Duan Lingtian spat on his face and scolded with a smile, "You fellow, can you stop thinking in that direction for everything! My aunt got married long ago, and her son is already over 10 years old. "
"Wasn't it you who said that your aunt was interested in me?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless.
Was he thinking too much?
"She's interested in your natural talent and comprehension ability."
Lin Qi rolled his eyes at Duan Lingtian.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and continued to eat with his head lowered, sweeping away the food like a whirlwind.
"My aunt is the person in charge of the Purple Tulip Trading Company in Swallow Mountain County."
Lin Qi said.
"So what?"
Duan Lingtian said as he ate.
"You couldn't have never heard of the Purple Tulip Trading Company, right?"
Lin Qi looked at Duan Lingtian as if he was looking at an alien.
Seeing Duan Lingtian nod his head, he was completely speechless.
Just how uninformed was this fellow!
"The Purple Tulip Trading Company is one of the three great trading companies of the Crimson Sky Kingdom. Their businesses are spread throughout six of the eighteen counties of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, including Swallow Mountain County …"
Lin Qi introduced.
"Wait. You're saying that this Purple Tulip Trading Company occupies six counties of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and your aunt is the person in charge of one of the counties? "
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised.
"That's right."
Lin Qi had a face full of pride.
"Even though my aunt's natural talent in the Martial Dao is average, she has a mind for business. Early on, she obtained the favor of the president of the Purple Tulip Trading Company, and later on, she slowly rose to her current position. The restaurant we're eating at now is one of the businesses of the Purple Tulip Trading Company. "
"In addition, the businesses of the Purple Tulip Trading Company can be said to be pervasive, even to the extent that they can be found in remote small towns …. As long as it has the prefix 'Purple Caltrop,' 'Golden Flower,' or 'Agarwood,' it is one of the businesses of the Purple Tulip Trading Company."
Lin Qi continued speaking as if he was very familiar with it.
"Agarwood?"
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden realization. So the largest Agarwood Restaurant in Fresh Breeze Town was one of the businesses of the Purple Tulip Trading Company.
"I'm not interested in doing business."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"Who asked you to do business?"
Lin Qi said angrily, "My aunt is interested in you because of your natural talent in the Martial Dao and comprehension ability …. At the same time that the Purple Tulip Trading Company's wealth is comparable to that of a nation, it has naturally been coveted by many people. Therefore, the Purple Tulip Trading Company has cultivated many experts to be in charge of protecting the properties of the Trading Company. "
"My uncle is the Commander of the Guards of the Purple Tulip Trading Company in Swallow Mountain County. He is an Emptiness Realm expert, and even the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor has to treat him with respect when he sees him."
Lin Qi finished speaking in one breath.
"Your aunt wants me to become a guard of the Purple Tulip Trading Company?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was strange.
"My aunt said that as long as you are willing to join the Purple Tulip Trading Company, the Purple Tulip Trading Company will unreservedly cultivate you …. In the future, you might even have the opportunity to take over my uncle's position and become the Commander of the Guards of the Purple Tulip Trading Company in Swallow Mountain County."
Lin Qi looked at Duan Lingtian with a face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"In other words, even if I go to the Purple Tulip Trading Company, I will only be a Commander of the Guards until I die?"
Duan Lingtian was full and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Commander of the Guards?"
