Zhen Ping Fan laughed heartily. “Duan Ling Tian, the word ‘coquettish’ is even better than the word ‘ugly’ you got previously. I wonder who are the two people who got this word? I have to say that whoever selected this word is quite funny.”
At the same time, everyone was looking around, searching for the two participants who obtained the word ‘coquettish’.
Soon after, a shy young man from one of the forces in the Underworld Mansion flew out. His cheeks flushed red in embarrassment due to him being suddenly thrust into the spotlight. He had already been teased by his peers previously when they found out he had obtained the word ‘coquettish’.
“You’re quite lucky,” Lin Dong Lai said with a smile.
The young man smiled sheepishly and said, “Thank you, Elder Lin.”
!!
The corners of Lin Dong Lai’s lips twitched. He wondered if the young man would still thank him if the young man knew that he was the one who chose the word ‘coquettish’. Then, he looked around before he said loudly, “Where’s the other participant? You have 15 minutes to step forward before you’re disqualified.”
Everyone looked around curiously for the other participant.
After a short moment, a figure flew out and appeared across the shy young man.
Silence descended on the place when everyone had a good look at the other participant’s face.
“It’s him?”
“It’s him again?!”
The other participant who obtained the word ‘coquettish’ was none other than Duan Ling Tian. He had seen the word a few days back and wondered if someone from the Profound Jade Mansion was deliberately making him the butt of his or her joke. However, he recalled he had chosen the token and felt speechless at his ‘luck’. During the first round, he obtained the word ‘ugly’, then, he obtained the word ‘coquettish’.
“It’s really him!”
A commotion broke out among the younger generation from the Pure Yang Sect after a moment.
Zhen Ping Fan laughed even harder this time. “He only imbued his token with his Divine Energy a few days ago in his wooden house. I really can’t believe his luck! He obtained the word ‘ugly’ previously, and now he obtained the word ‘coquettish’!”
The young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect were also amused.
“Heavens! Duan Ling Tian is really unlucky!”
“Not only is he talented in cultivation, but he’s also talented in choosing tokens!”
“What a strange coincidence! Out of so many tokens, Duan Ling Tian chose the ones with the funniest words.”
“Why do I find this so funny?”
“Me too!”
The Pure Yang Sect’s young disciples tried their best not to laugh. After all, who knew if Duan Ling Tian or even Zhen Ping Fan would take offense and hold a grudge against them?
However, those from the other forces did not have such concerns. All of them laughed.
“Duan Ling Tian from the Pure Yang Sect is quite unlucky.”
“First, it was ugly. Now, it’s coquettish. I really have to give it to him...”
“Is somebody trying to prank him?”
“How’s that possible when he chose the token himself? The only way is if a supreme powerhouse had a hand in it. However, do you think a supreme powerhouse would have time for such a petty prank?”
Duan Ling Tian naturally heard the laughter in the surroundings, but he did not take it to heart. After all, he had already mentally prepared himself for this as soon as he saw the word he obtained. He looked at the shy young man and discovered the shy young man looking at him gratefully. Upon seeing this, he complained inwardly, ‘Don’t tell me you’re grateful because I stole the spotlight from you?’
At this moment, the shy young man said, “Senior Brother Duan, I’m Xue Ting Xiao from the Underworld Mansion. I’m no match for you so I’m going to surrender.”
After saying that, the shy young man did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s reply before he returned to his original position.
With this, Duan Ling Tian won without needing to fight. He felt slightly disappointed since he was hoping to vent through the fight. However, there was nothing he could do since his opponent had surrendered. He returned to his original position. When he saw that Zhen Ping Fan wanted to talk to him, he took out a noise-canceling Formation compass before he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, ignoring Zhen Ping Fan.
Zhen Ping Fan sighed helplessly. However, his attention, along with the others, was soon distracted by the next fight.
In fact, Duan Ling Tian was not offended by Zhen Ping Fan or the others teasing him and laughing at him. He knew it was just some good-natured amusement. He suddenly began to cultivate because he could sense one of his Heavenly Veins was about to transform. He would grow stronger as each of his Heavenly Veins transformed. Now that the Five Divine Elements had helped him to completely stabilize his cultivation base, his 99 Heavenly Veins would have to undergo a transformation before he became an advanced Lords of Gods. Due to his 99 Heavenly Veins, once he became an advanced Lord of Gods, his Divine Energy would be stronger than most advanced Lords of Gods.
‘Apart from the swift mobilization of Divine Energy, I didn’t expect that the 99 Heavenly Veins will have such an effect as well... This is great.’
Indeed. Due to the 99 Heavenly Veins, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy would be stronger than those with the same cultivation bases.
...
Following that, there was another match where the participant from the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice attacked ruthlessly and severely injured the participant from the Pure Yang Sect again, causing the latter to be unable to participate in the revival round later.
No one from the Pure Yang Sect and the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice had been matched since. Those from the Pure Yang Sect were naturally furious. Alas, there was nothing they could do about it.
‘The fights to sort participants into the elite group will come to an end tomorrow, and we’ll move on to the revival round. Since I haven’t been called to fight, I’ll definitely be called out tomorrow. If my opponent isn’t from the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, I’ll surrender immediately so I have a chance to challenge someone from the alliance during the revival round,” a young disciple from the Pure Yang Sect said.
This person was Yun Ye Wei. He was one of the Pure Yang Sect’s strongest disciples under the age of 10,000. He was from the Lang Ji faction, and he was the great-great-grandson of the founder of the Lang Ji faction. His strength was not inferior to Ye Ying Cai at all.
Upon hearing Yun Ye Wei’s words, someone said wryly, “Senior Brother Yun, I’m afraid that your opponent will surrender before you even have a chance to surrender. They know you after all. If they surrender first, you won’t be able to do anything. Let’s just wait and see. I don’t believe the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice will be so lucky every time and get matched with weaker disciples from our sect. We have a few stronger disciples who have yet to fight.”
The animosity between the Pure Yang Sect and the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice continued to escalate. It worsened after the disciple from the Pure Yang Sect was injured to the point where he could not participate in the revival round.
Duan Ling Tian frowned. He did not expect things to escalate to this extent. Moreover, he knew both the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect and the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice were not at fault. Especially the young disciples from the alliance who were unaware of the truth. They only saw Ye Ying Cai acting aggressively without a seemingly good reason. In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, the high-ranking officials of the alliance, especially Ren Tie Qiu, the alliance leader, who were aware of the truth should have warned his disciples and told them to restrain themselves.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted coldly. ‘The Alliance of Benevolence and Justice... The high-ranking officials are clearly acquiescing to the young disciples’ actions with their silence. Aren’t they afraid that their disciples might get severely injured?’
Duan Ling Tian could not help but feel angry about the situation. He mulled over the matter and did not pay attention to his surroundings. After all, his fight was over. Not only that, but he was sure no one would dare to challenge him during the revival round as well.
...
The next day.
Before the revival round began, there were still a few more fights left. The fights proceeded smoothly until the fifth fight when the participants chosen were from the Pure Yang Sect and the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up when he saw the participant from the Pure Yang Sect.
‘Yang Qian Ye!’
