Chapter 4012: The Battle to Enter the Novice Group

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing the handsome Duan Ling Tian standing across from the beautiful Xie Ying Ying, everyone seemed to forget the word 'ugly'. There were a few who looked at the duo with amused expressions on their faces.

"These two are really lucky to have obtained the word 'ugly'. How ironic."

"Say, which one of them is stronger?"

"It's hard to say. I've never heard of this woman, Xie Ying Ying. Based on that, she seems like an ordinary young disciple from the Divine Morning Mansion's Flowing Cloud Sect."

"I can't say for sure as well. The young man has yet to announce his name so it's hard to judge. After all, we've heard the names of the outstanding prodigies in the Seven Mansions, but we've never seen most of them."

Then, under everyone's expectant gazes, Duan Ling Tian nodded to the woman in front of him and said, "I'm Duan Ling Tian from the Eastern Ridge Mansion's Pure Yang Sect."

The words 'Duan Ling Tian from the Eastern Ridge Mansion's Pure Yang Sect' was like a lightning bolt.

The entire fell silent for a moment when Duan Ling Tian introduced himself.

The expression of the woman standing in front of Duan Ling Tian changed immediately. She thought to herself bitterly, 'My first opponent is him? Why am I so unlucky?'

Although she did not think she was that outstanding among the participants of the Seven Mansions Feast this time, she thought she would be able to make it quite far. As her master had said, at the very least, she would not have a problem entering the novice group. However, it was different now that her first opponent was Duan Ling Tian, the young prodigy from the Pure Yang Sect whom everyone had been talking about recently.

Meanwhile, the crowd regained their senses one after another as well. They looked at the purple-clad figure in the distance whose name they had long heard of.

"He's Duan Ling Tian?"

"He's Duan Ling Tian from the Pure Yang Sect..."

"Didn't you hear him earlier? Don't tell me you think there are two Duan Ling Tians in the Pure Yang Sect?"

"I didn't expect him to be chosen to be the first to fight! I heard of him a long time ago. He defeated Wanqi Hong, who used to be the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. At that time, many people speculated that Wanqi Hong had a high chance of ranking in the top three during the Seven Mansions Feast. However, such a person was defeated by Duan Ling Tian in the end."

"With Wanqi Hong's strength, there's no doubt he'll rank in the top ten. Among those from the Eastern Ridge Mansion, Duan Ling Tian and Wanqi Hong will surely rank in the top ten."

...

At the same time, on the small floating island of the Divine Morning Mansion's Flowing Cloud Sect.

An old woman dressed in a dark cyan robe holding a cane frowned. "Why is this girl so unlucky? She has to fight the most outstanding prodigy in the Pure Yang Sect as soon as the Seven Mansions Feast begins."

An old man standing next to her said with a smile, "If you're worried, you should tell her to admit defeat."

The old woman scoffed. "Why should she admit defeat? With Elder Lin Dong Lai around, can Duan Ling Tian harm my disciple? It's fine. My disciple will be able to test him to see if he's as strong as the rumors said."

The old woman was the master of Xie Ying Ying, Duan Ling Tian's opponent. She was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods and an elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect in the Divine Morning Mansion. Xie Ying Ying was her last disciple. Although Xie Ying Ying was young and possessed average strength, she doted on Xie Ying Ying a lot.

...

At this time, Lin Dong Lai looked at the man and woman standing across from each other and said calmly, "Alright, you may start."

As soon as Ling Dong Lai's voice fell, Xie Ying Ying made a move. In just a moment, the wind surged around her. Like a gust of wind, she flew toward Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious that she had comprehended the law of wind. Since her opponent was Duan Ling Tian, she did not dare to hold back and brought her prominent divine sword out immediately. She brandished her sword, and terrifying sword rays as dazzling as the stars swept out toward Duan Ling Tian.

...

"This disciple from the Flowing Cloud Sect is not bad..."

"With this strength, she should be among the stronger Lord of Gods below the age of 10,000 years old in the Flowing Cloud Sect."

Many high-ranking officials from the other forces nodded slightly as they watched Xie Ying Ying, expressing their approval.

...

Xie Ying Ying's master smiled. She was naturally happy that her favorite disciple was being praised by so many people. However, in the next instant, her smile vanished.

...

"Please excuse me," Duan Ling Tian said tonelessly. Then, a spatial storm raged around his body immediately. Then, the spatial storm swept out toward Xie Ying Ying in just a blink of an eye. Not only did it destroy Xie Ying Ying's attacks, but it also sent her flying.

As Xie Ying Ying flew backward, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, she quickly managed to regain her footing. Her pretty face was red, and blood could be seen on the corners of her lips. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. She knew Duan Ling Tian had held back a lot. Otherwise, she would have been severely injured. With his strength, he could kill her with just a strike if it were not for the intermediate Emperor of Gods watching nearby who would stop him from killing her. In the end, she said, "Senior Brother Duan, thank you for showing mercy."

"Mm." Duan Ling Tian nodded at Xie Ying Ying before he turned around and left. From the beginning until the end, he was very composed.

At this moment, Xie Ying Ying, who was rather popular with the young men in the Flying Cloud Sect, felt like her self-esteem had been dealt a heavy blow when Duan Ling Tian did not even spare an extra glance at her. She thought to herself, 'He must be very focused on his cultivation. He's a good reminder that I shouldn't get entangled with love and relationships. I should just focus on my cultivation. Even master is single to this day! I'll definitely have a chance to break through and become an Emperor of Gods if I stay single!'

Duan Ling Tian had no idea that his indifference toward Xie Ying Ying today created a woman who was determined to stay single forever in the Flowing Cloud Sect.

According to the rules of the first round for the novice group, Xie Ying Ying had to return the token to Lin Dong Lai after Duan Ling Tian left.

The rules dictated that the loser must return their tokens.

After Xie Ying Ying returned the token to Lin DongLai, he handed a jade token to her. "Take this jade token. With this, you'llbe able to challenge another person in the novice group. Bring this jade token into the arena with you at that time. Before the fight begins, imbue the jade token with your Divine Energy to turn it into dust. Remember that you only have one chance to issue a challenge. You have until the end of the first round to choose who you want to challenge from the novice group."

Lin Dong Lai seemed to be talking to Xie Ying Ying alone, but his voice was loud enough to reach everyone's ears.

Soon after, Xie Ying Ying also left the arena.

At this moment, Xie Ying Yin and the word 'ugly' were not the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone was now looking at Duan Ling Tian.

"Duan Ling Tian, the prodigy from the Pure Yang Sect, truly lives up to his reputation!"

"He didn't use his prominent divine artifact, and he did not even move. He defeated Xie Ying Ying, who didn't hold back, with his Divine Energy and his law of space alone. Ordinary intermediate Lords of Gods aren't capable of this."

"That's right. Although Xie Ying Ying is only a rudimentary Lord of Gods, based on the battle earlier, her strength is almost comparable to a weaker intermediate Lord of Gods."

"Why is everyone so surprised? Did all of you forget that Duan Ling Tian once defeated the Wanqi clan's Wanqi Hong in the Eastern Ridge Mansion's Seven Kills Valley? At that time, Wanqi Hong had been an advanced Lord of Gods for 100 years while Duan Ling Tian had only been an intermediate Lord of Gods for two years."

Those who were whispering among themselves subconsciously turned to look at the small floating island where the people from the Wanqi clan were. Those who had met Wanqi Hong before looked at Wanqi Hong directly.

Needless to say, Wanqi Hong's expression soured immediately. At this moment, he could not wait to fight Duan Ling Tian to show that his current strength was no weaker than that of Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile, many young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect smiled and congratulated Duan Ling Tian after he returned.

Duan Ling Tian nodded to the enthusiastic group of people, feeling relieved inwardly that they had forgotten about the word 'ugly'.

...

It did not take long before the second battle of the first round began. The participants this time were neither from the Eastern Ridge Mansion nor the Divine Morning Mansion. They were from the Feudal Lord Mansion and the Consonance Mansion respectively. One was from a sect, and the other was from a clan.

The participant from the Consonance Mansion won after more than 30 moves and entered the novice group.

The participants of the following few battles were evenly matched and took a long time to end the fight. As such, Duan Ling Tian's mind began to wander.

'There are still many battles to go... The Seven Mansions Feast won't end so soon...'

In the end, Duan Ling Tian was so bored that he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate in the air. Before that, he brought out a square Formation compass and set up a noise-canceling Formation around him. He did not need to worry about his safety here.

Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who had begun to cultivate. Many young disciples from the other Mansions had begun to cultivate in the air as well.

...

In just a blink of an eye, a day passed.

On this day, more than 100 people but fewer than 150 people fought.

Duan Ling Tian stopped cultivating and followed those from the Pure Yang Sect back at the end of the day. He thought to himself, 'Based on today's progress, it seems like the novice group round is not going to end within ten days...'
