Duan Ling Tian naturally knew nothing about what happened outside.
He was currently quietly cultivating in the Inner Hall of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy. At the same time that he was improving his cultivation, he didnât forget to cultivate martial skills and comprehend Force of an even higher level.
Comprehending Half-step Advanced Wind Force and Half-step Advanced Lightning Force at the first level of the Void Prying Stage is an accomplishment that even the Rebirth Martial Emperor didnât achieve all those years ago. Duan Ling Tian flashed through the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor and he couldnât help but sigh with emotion.
According to the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, even when the second lifetime of the Rebirth Martial Emperor stepped into the first level of the Void Prying Stage, although heâd comprehended two types of Force as well, only one of them was at the Half-step Advanced Stage.
The other type of Force was only a force seed.
Today seems to be the last day of the Dragon and Phoenix Academyâs registration. Duan Ling Tian walked out of his room and arrived at the courtyard.
Presently, the Inner Hall was extremely bustling.
There were Outer Hall students that entered the Inner Hall to challenge the Inner Hall students from time to time, as they wanted to win even better treatment in the academy.
"Ji Feng!" Suddenly, an explosive shout sounded out, and it attracted Duan Ling Tianâs gaze.
Presently, there was a young man around the age of 35 standing outside a courtyard in the Inner Hall.
Duan Ling Tian had an impression of that courtyard.
It was precisely the courtyard that the Ji Clanâs Ji Feng stayed in.
Ji Feng was the first person Duan Ling Tian was acquainted with on arriving at the Imperial City. Although they couldnât be considered to have a friendly relationship, Duan Ling Tian was still interested to watch when there was someone challenging Ji Feng now.
Instantly, Duan Ling Tianâs Spiritual Force stretched out to sweep towards the young man.
Duan Ling Tian noticed his cultivation at the first possible moment.
Half-step Void Stage? Duan Ling Tianâs brows raised as he thought in his heart. Looks like Ji Feng is probably going to be kicked out of the Inner Hall.
"Hmph!" Right at this moment, a cold snort sounded out from Ji Fengâs courtyard.
Subsequently, Ji Fengâs figure appeared before Duan Ling Tian.
"Zi Gang!" Ji Feng walked out of his courtyard and looked at the young man outside. "A person like you is worthy of challenging me? If itâs your Zi Clanâs Zither Young Master, Zi Shang, I might be slightly afraid⊠As for you, I donât take you seriously!"
"Shameless boasting!" Zi Gang sneered as he suddenly took a stride forward.
Instantly, 1,500 lifelike ancient mammoth silhouettes were condensed into form in sky.
"Half-step Void Stage!" Instantly, many spectating Outer Hall students couldnât help but exclaim in surprise.
"Half-step Void Stage?" When he saw the cultivation revealed by Zi Gang, Ji Fengâs indifferent expression slightly tightened. "I truly never expected that youâd actually broken through to the Half-step Void Stage. But do you think that youâre able to defeat me because youâve broken through to the Half-step Void Stage?" As he finished speaking, Ji Feng took a stride forward as well.
In the sky, the energy of heaven and earth roiled as 1,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes similarly appeared, and they were accumulating force while waiting to be deployed.
Half-step Void Stage! Duan Ling Tian was greatly surprised when he saw this scene, as he never expected that Ji Feng had actually broken through to the Half-step Void Stage during these past few days.
The expression of Zi Gang, who was originally filled with confidence, had become slightly gloomy.
"How about it? Do you still want to challenge me?" Ji Feng asked indifferently.
"Hmph!" The raging Origin Energy on Zi Gangâs body seemed to have transformed into a ball of white flames that enveloped his entire body within it.
Heâd used his actions to respond to Ji Feng.
"Then Iâll play with you!" Ji Fengâs figure moved. He seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot towards Zi Gang.
After a short moment, the two of them were in a fierce battle.
In the beginning, neither of them utilized spirit weapons, and only relied on their Origin Energy to battleâŠ
Before long, the two of them utilized grade six spirit weapons at the same time.
For a time, the two of them were equally matched.
"I truly never imagined that it had only been a few days and Ji Feng had already broken through to the Half-step Void Stage!"
"The two of them are equally matched, and it was probably difficult to distinguish the victor.
âŠ
Many Outer Hall students whispered in discussion.
Some of the Inner Hall students that were spectating had almost similar thoughts.
Only Duan Ling Tianâs gaze never left Ji Feng from the beginning until the end, and unknowingly, the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile. "Ji Feng has really concealed his strength deeplyâŠ"
At almost the same instant that Duan Ling Tianâs thought had emerged, the grade six spirit sword in Ji Fengâs hand emitted strands of a sharp and peerless aura.
Instantly, another 100 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared beside the ancient mammoth silhouettes that had appeared from the amplification of his spirit swordâŠ
But these ancient mammoth silhouettes that had appeared werenât stable, and they fluctuated from 70 to 100 from time to time.
However, even then, he still relied on this extra strength of almost 100 ancient mammoths to defeat Zi Gang in one go.
"Pu!" Zi Gang was knocked flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was shaking when he descended to the ground, seeming to be in a slightly sorry state.
"You⊠You actually comprehended a Sword Force Seed!" Zi Gangâs voice seemed to contain slight fear mixed within.
Sword Force Seed!
The surroundings went into an uproar, and the gazes of everyone shot onto Ji Feng. Obviously, they never expected that Ji Feng still had this ability.
Ji Fengâs comprehension ability isnât bad. Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
Compared to the Saber Force Seed that the Saber Young Master, Long Yun, executed that day, the Sword Force Seed Ji Feng comprehended had undoubtedly surpassed it slightly.
Of course, this didnât say that Ji Feng was stronger than Saber Young Master.
After all, two years had already passed since he fought Saber Young Master the last time.
The strength of Saber Young Master now would have surely advanced by leaps and bounds!
Even to the extent that heâd have already broken through to the Void Prying Stage.
Saber Young Master⊠Demonic Lotusblade Sect⊠When he thought of the Saber Young Master, Long Yun, Duan Ling Tian couldnât help but recall the former Demonic Lotusblade Sect.
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect was one of the chief culprits that had annihilated the Seven Star Sword Sect, and the Saber Young Master was the foster son of the Demonic Lotusblade Sectâs Leader.
"Besides Zi Shang, there isnât a second person in your Zi Clanâs younger generation that can make me take them seriously!" Ji Feng looked at Zi Gang as he mocked.
Zi Gangâs face became gloomy as his body lightly trembled, and he felt extreme humiliation.
Right at this moment, a chilly voice suddenly sounded out.
"Then let me, this person that you donât take seriously, properly experience your ability." Along with this chilly voice sounding out, a violet colored beautiful figure that was accompanied by a wave of fragrance appeared in the Inner Hall to stand before Zi Gang.
Swoosh!
Under the sleeve that was lined with gold borders, a white wrist slowly extended out and flicked out a medicinal pill, and it shot directly at Zi Gang.
After Zi Gang caught the medicinal pill and swallowed it, he bowed respectfully to the person that had arrived. "Young Miss Zi Yan."
Meanwhile, the beautiful figure turned around, her gracefully slender and delicate body that was like a devilâs, and her face that was beautiful like an angel had appeared before the eyes of everyone.
Even Duan Ling Tianâs eyes couldnât help but light up.
The young woman wore violet clothes. As she stood there, she first emitted a lofty aura, then she emitted a type of enchanting auraâŠ
Lofty and enchanting, a conflicting combination, and it caused the young woman to seem even more difficult to fathom.
"Young Miss Zi Yan? Sheâs the younger sister of Zither Young Master, Flute Fairy, Zi Yan?" Instantly, some people couldnât refrain from exclaiming in surprise.
"I heard long ago that the Flute Fairy, Zi Yan, is the number one beauty of our Imperial City⊠Now that Iâve seen her here today, she really does deserve her reputation!"
"The speed she entered the Inner Hall earlier was so swift! Iâve only heard that the Flute Fairy, Zi Yan, had extremely high accomplishments in music, and even frequently does a flute and zither ensemble with her brother, and it could be said to be the sound of nature."
"Looks like the natural talent in the Martial Dao of this Young Miss Zi Yan isnât low."
"The Zi Clan only possesses two recommendation quotas. Since Young Miss Zi Yan is able to occupy one of them, I presume her cultivation is extraordinary as well⊠I actually didnât know in the past that Young Miss Zi Yan had such a high natural talent in the Martial Dao."
"Young Miss Zi Yan has an elder brother like Zither Young Master, so even if her natural talent in the Martial Dao isnât bad, it would surely be covered by Zither Young Masterâs brilliance, and cause us to have no knowledge of it. After all, our gazes were mostly on Zither Young Master."
âŠ
The crowd of Outer Hall students discussed animatedly.
"Young Miss Zi Yan." Ji Feng still have a calm expression when facing Zi Yan. "Injuries are bound to happen in a battle, I hope that Young Miss Zi Yan doesnât act rashly. Otherwise, if I accidentally injure Young Miss Zi Yan, then it would be difficult for me to give Zither Young Master an explanation."
Who in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdomâs Imperial City didnât know that Zither Young Master was extremely fond of this younger sister of his?
If he were to injure Zi Yan, then Zither Young Master would surely not let the matter go!
"Since you look down upon my Zi Clan members so much, then Iâll prove to you that what you saidâŠis wrong." Zi Yanâs white wrist stretched out of her sleeve once again, and a jade flute that was translucent and crystalline to appear in her hand.
"Grade five spirit weapon!" At this moment, Duan Ling Tian just happened to have been inspecting Zi Yanâs cultivation with his Spiritual Force, and his Spiritual Force flashed past the jade flute in Zi Yanâs hands on the way, yet he noticed that it was a grade five spirit weapon.
Looks like Ji Feng is going to suffer. Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
He noticed earlier that this Flute Fairy, Zi Yan, was similar to Ji Feng, she was an existence at the Half-step Void Stage as well.
"Since Young Miss Zi Yan insists, then Ji Feng can only be rude." Ji Feng took a deep breath as the grade six spirit sword in his hand jerked, then his eyes gradually became cold. "Young Miss Zi Yan, make your move!"
Under the gazes of everyone present, Flute Fairy slowly raised her hand to place the grade five spirit flute on her bright red lips, then her hands lightly pulsed on the spirit flute as she breathed gracefully into the spirit flute.
Whereas the spirit flute started to emit strand of Origin Energy that became more and more deep.
Instantly, the sound of the flute rose and it was filled with the intent of slaughter.
This was a song of slaughter.
Instantly, 1,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes gradually condensed into form in the sky.
"Half-step Void Stage!"
"This Flute Fairy, Zi Yan, is actually at the Half-step Void Stage as well!"
âŠ
Instantly, the group of Outer Hall students were greatly shocked.
In next to no time, when everyone saw the 720 ancient mammoth silhouettes that appeared beside the existing 1,500 ancient mammoth silhouettes, their faces were filled with shock.
"Grade five⊠Grade five spirit weapon!"
"Oh my god! The Flute Fairy, Zi Yan, has a grade five spirit weapon like her brother, Zither Young Master."
âŠ
At this moment, besides Duan Ling Tian, who had a calm expression, everyone else was completely shocked.
