Duanmu Bai looked at Nie Tian speechlessly, even wondering if he had heard wrongly.
Nie Tian wanting to take Duanmu Lu as a disciple sounded a little ridiculous.
Duanmu Lu was at the second level of the Giant Spirit realm, while Nie Tian was at the first level. How could a teacher be weaker than his student?
Even though Duanmu Bai had heard of Nie Tian torturing and killing Luo Fen, he felt that it was a little exaggerated. Even if he could see that Nie Tian was a hidden dragon, he didn't think the latter was qualified to be Duanmu Bai's teacher.
One had to know that once Nie Tian became Duanmu Bai's teacher, he would be on equal footing with his father.
What was a teacher? It was a master.
Master was both a teacher and a father.
Duanmu Bai understood this, and so did Nie Tian.
This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to take Duanmu Lu as a disciple.
With the identity of Duanmu Lu's teacher, he could be on equal footing with Duanmu Bai without any qualms.
"Benefactor, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master." Just as Duanmu Bai was still highly suspicious of Nie Tian, Duanmu Lu behind him seemed to have suddenly understood something. He cried out in surprise and then knelt down with a thud.
"…" Duanmu Bai's eyes widened as he looked at Duanmu Lu in astonishment. That expression was extremely amusing.
Duanmu Lu had already knelt down. If he didn't acknowledge Nie Tian as his master, he would have knelt for nothing.
Moreover, if Duanmu Bai objected now, it wouldn't be a wise choice. This was because Nie Tian hadn't activated the Eight Supreme Sword Seal for Duanmu Lu yet.
Nie Tian looked at Duanmu Lu and said happily, "You brat, you're finally enlightened for once. I didn't save you three times in vain."
"Palace Lord Duanmu, you won't object, right?" Nie Tian asked rather smugly as he glanced at Duanmu Bai.
Duanmu Bai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and could only shake his head. "Of, of course not."
Now that things had come to this, Duanmu Bai had no choice.
He couldn't figure out how things had escalated to this point.
Jin Dabao and Qiu Shan smiled at each other behind Nie Tian. They really admired Nie Tian's brilliance.
Following that, Duanmu Bai respectfully bowed to Nie Tian. Nie Tian sat upright and helped Duanmu Bai up, saying with a smile, "Very good. From now on, you are my tenth, ah no, eleventh personal disciple."
"Hmm?" Duanmu Lu was stunned. He asked in astonishment, "Teacher, do I have a Senior Brother?"
"…" Duanmu Bai puckered his lips without end, and he said in his heart, Are you sure you're not joking?
Nie Tian said solemnly, "There are still ten senior martial brothers above you. One of them is in the City Lord's Mansion and is currently in seclusion. As for the other nine, I'll introduce them to you in the future. "
As Nie Tian spoke, he shot a glance at Duanmu Bai and thought to himself, "You're really a lucky bastard!"
Nie Tian said that because of Tang Hao.
Duanmu Lu had become Nie Tian's personal disciple, which meant that he had directly become Tang Hao's Junior Brother. Duanmu Bai was one rank higher than Tang Hao for no reason. If that wasn't luck, then what was?
If Duanmu Bai knew that, he would probably be so happy that his chrysanthemum would bloom.
Duanmu Bai was a little anxious. He wanted Nie Tian to activate the Eight Supreme Sword Seal for Duanmu Lu as soon as possible, so he said, "City Lord Nie Tian, the first condition has been fulfilled. Tell me your condition for the second day."
Nie Tian was not in a hurry. Instead, he took out a scroll of martial techniques and said, "Duanmu Lu, this is a Heaven-class sword technique, Ultimate Nine Ultimate Sword Technique. Consider it the first gift from Master to you."
"Heaven-class sword technique!" Duanmu Bai and Duanmu Lu were stunned at the same time.
Duanmu Bai used his divine sense to examine it, and he was instantly petrified.
Duanmu Lu was also stunned the moment his hands touched the sword technique.
Both father and son were silent for a few seconds before they finally reacted.
"City Lord Nie Tian, your move is really, really, really …" Duanmu Bai's expression was excited, and his voice was trembling. His reaction was poles apart from before. When he reached the end, he actually did not know how to describe it, and he stammered and could not continue.
Nie Tian smiled indifferently, and teased, "Really too generous. It makes you feel ashamed, right?"
Duanmu Bai's old face turned red, and he smiled awkwardly, and said, "This humble one is ashamed."
Jin Dabao and Qiu Shan were stunned. Of course, it was not because Nie Tian took out the Heaven-class sword technique, but because Duanmu Bai called himself 'this humble one'.
It seemed that the Heaven-class sword technique was still very powerful. Once it was taken out, even Duanmu Bai took the initiative to lower his head.
The Ultimate Nine Extremes Sword Technique in Nie Tian's hands was also taken out from the Bloody Massacre Hall, and it was a Heaven-class high-grade sword technique. Nie Tian studied it carefully, and the difficulty of cultivating it was very high. It had very high requirements for the swordsman's sword dao talent and perseverance. It was not something that an ordinary swordsman could successfully cultivate.
Nie Tian felt that the Ultimate Nine Extremes Sword Technique was very suitable for Duanmu Lu.
Although Duanmu Lu was a little slow sometimes, his sword dao talent was definitely not for show, and he had a firm heart. He would definitely be able to successfully cultivate the Ultimate Nine Extremes Sword Technique.
"Thank you, Teacher." Duanmu Lu received the sword technique with trembling hands, and the pride in his heart was all revealed on his face.
"Mm." Nie Tian nodded, and then his gaze turned to Duanmu Bai again. He said, "Palace Lord Duanmu, the first condition has been fulfilled. I still have a second condition. "
"City Lord Nie Tian, please speak." Duanmu Bai was more proactive this time, and his face was full of joy.
Duanmu Lu directly obtained a heaven-grade advanced sword technique. As his father, how could he not be excited?
Nie Tian nodded slightly, and his expression turned serious. He said seriously, "I would like to borrow your sect's Universe Stone for a while."
"Universe Stone!" Duanmu Bai's smiling face stiffened when he heard these three words.
The Universe Stone was the most valuable treasure of the Universe Palace. It was a huge stone that was a hundred meters tall and dozens of meters wide. Rumor had it that the Universe Stone was a divine stone passed down from the Primordial Era. It could withstand Origin Power attacks, and it could only withstand attacks of pure force. Moreover, it could recover.
In other words, if a martial artist struck the Universe Stone with his palm and struck out a palm print, the palm print would recover in the blink of an eye. It was very miraculous.
The Universe Stone was regarded as the most valuable treasure of the Universe Palace by the people of the Universe Palace. From a certain perspective, it was the symbol of the Universe Palace.
Since Nie Tian and the Universe Palace were forming an alliance, he naturally had to understand the latter first. Therefore, not only did he know of the existence of the Universe Stone, he even knew that the True Ji Crystal that he had obtained from Duanmu Lu and Duanmu Wan 'er was produced by the Universe Stone.
If Nie Tian's guess was right, the Universe Stone was actually a True Ji Jellyfish.
The True Ji Jellyfish was a very special ore. It was extremely flexible, and had close to a hundred percent resistance to Origin Power attacks. It could also absorb Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, and nurture the forbidden stone of illusionists, the True Ji Crystal.
If the True Ji Jellyfish was used to forge a Spirit Weapon, or a set of armor, it would definitely have unimaginable miraculous effects.
However, the reason why Nie Tian borrowed the Universe Stone from Duanmu Bai was not to forge a Spirit Weapon, but for another purpose.
He wanted to use the Universe Stone as the selection stone for the Dragon Blood Martial Meet.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to use the Universe Stone to test the strength of all the martial artists participating in the Dragon Blood Martial Meet.
Because there were too many people registering for the Dragon Blood Martial Meet, close to a hundred thousand people. If all of them were to compete on the arena, there would probably not be a result even next year.
Of course, using a divine object like the Universe Stone to select the participants of the Dragon Blood Martial Meet was really overkill.
There was a deeper meaning to Nie Tian's use of the Universe Stone.
The Universe Stone was almost as famous as the Universe Palace. He wanted to use the Universe Stone to tell the entire Nanshan Region that Heaven Luo City and the Universe Palace had formed an alliance.
If the Universe Stone appeared at the Dragon Blood Martial Meet's selection, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone that Heaven Luo City had a powerful ally, the Universe Palace?
This way, it would have the effect of intimidating everyone, and it would also tie Heaven Luo City and the Universe Palace firmly together.
However, the Universe Stone was the Universe Palace's treasure. Whether Duanmu Bai was willing to lend it was still a problem.
Duanmu Bai stared at Nie Tian for a long time. After making sure that Nie Tian wasn't joking, he said in a deep voice, "City Lord Nie Tian, the Heaven and Earth Stone is the Heaven and Earth Palace's most precious treasure. Although I'm the master of the Heaven and Earth Palace, I can't...
But Duanmu Bai had only spoken halfway when he was forcefully interrupted by Nie Tian.
"Palace Lord Duanmu, if you are not willing to lend the Universe Stone, then you can leave." Nie Tian's expression was cold, his eyes resolute.
Duanmu Bai froze, instantly at a loss of what to do.
He did not expect that this fellow, Nie Tian, would change his attitude faster than flipping a book. Just a moment ago, the atmosphere was harmonious, and then before he could finish his sentence, dark clouds rolled.
Jin Dabao, Qiu Shan, Duanmu Lu, Duanmu Wan 'er, and the others all looked at Nie Tian in unison. Some were embarrassed, some were confused.
Duanmu Bai's face was green and red. Duanmu Lu looked at him, his eyes clearly urging him to agree to Nie Tian's conditions.
"City Lord Nie Tian." After a long time, Duanmu Bai finally spoke again. "Do you really want to borrow the Universe Stone?"
"Yes!" Nie Tian nodded decisively.
"Fine!" Duanmu Bai made up his mind and almost roared, "I will lend you the Universe Stone!"
Duanmu Bai knew that if the Universe Stone left the Universe Palace, many people in the palace would definitely object. But for Duanmu Lu, even if everyone objected, he had to do it.
"Palace Lord Duanmu is indeed bold." Nie Tian's expression softened, and he said, "In that case, thank you."
Nie Tian's expression was relaxed, but he heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It was just a gamble. He was really afraid that Duanmu Bai would refuse.
Fortunately, Duanmu Bai did not disappoint and finally agreed with clenched teeth.
"City Lord Nie Tian, both conditions have been fulfilled. Can you remove the sword seal now?" Duanmu Bai did not stand on ceremony with Nie Tian and said directly.
"Of course." Nie Tian chuckled, then stood up and said, "Let's go to the Martial Arts Practice Field together."
Since Nie Tian dared to ask for such a sky-high price from Duanmu Bai, he had naturally prepared everything.
In fact, three days ago, he had already thought of how to open Duanmu Lu's Eight Supreme Sword Seal. He was just waiting for Duanmu Bai to arrive.
After a while, everyone appeared at the Martial Arts Practice Field of the City Lord Residence.
Nie Tian and Duanmu Lu stood in the Martial Arts Practice Field facing each other.
