Chapter 2385 - 2388: Tenfold Certainty of Victory?

Du Yunlong had previously tested a move against Qin Tian, and he hadn't felt that Qin Tian was anything special.

At least in his eyes, Qin Tian wasn't his match.

And just now in the spectator area, he'd also watched Qin Tian's fight with Tang Yaosong; he likewise felt that between Qin Tian and him, there was no fight to be had—Qin Tian absolutely couldn't have any chance of victory.

At most, compared to Tang Yaosong back then, Qin Tian could last a dozen more moves under his hand.

Nothing more.

However, as soon as he asked this question, the Sect Leader and the other Elders all turned surprised gazes on him, one after another.

"Yunlong, since when have you become so careless about your opponents?"

"Granted, facing that nameless brat from Xuanyuan Immortal Sect, your odds of winning are high, but it's still not to the extent that you've got a hundred percent guarantee."

"That's right, I watched every one of Qin Tian's matches—he's consecutively defeated the senior brothers of the Three Great Immortal Sects, his momentum is fierce. If you underestimate him, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."

"You may have been the number one Disciple of the Seven Great Immortal Sects for many years, but the world is unpredictable. From what I see, this Qin Tian fully has the qualifications to challenge you. You must be careful. Sect Leader, what do you think?"

After the Elders all spoke and reminded Qin Tian in absentia, their gazes collectively fell on the Sect Leader of Qiankun Immortal Sect.

The Sect Leader of Qiankun Immortal Sect was named Daojun Qiankun, one of the most formidable Immortality Cultivators among the Seven Great Immortal Sects. He was a proud man, and especially after Qiankun Immortal Sect, under his hand, had flourished and become the number one Immortal Sect among the Seven Great Immortal Sects, he'd all the more regarded himself as the number one person of the Seven Great Immortal Sects.

He was the number one of the Seven Great Immortal Sects, and his Disciple Du Yunlong had dominated the realm of Disciples of the Seven Great Immortal Sects for many years—without question, he was number one.

Yet today, a Qin Tian had suddenly jumped out.

Originally, Daojun Qiankun hadn't taken this Qin Tian seriously at all.

But he hadn't expected that the envoys dispatched by the Three Great Immortal Sects would all look at Qin Tian with new eyes and heap praise upon him.

This was very rare.

One had to know that when Tang Yaosong had burst onto the scene back then to challenge Du Yunlong, he hadn't received unanimous praise and astonishment from the envoys of the Three Great Immortal Sects.

Even Du Yunlong himself had only received praise from two of them, who'd wanted to take Du Yunlong away.

But today, Daojun Qiankun had heard that all three envoys of the Three Great Immortal Sects had intentions of taking Qin Tian away!

The three envoys were all showing goodwill at the same time!

Utterly unprecedented!

Under such circumstances, could he still afford to look down on Qin Tian?

Daojun Qiankun's gaze turned deep as he turned his head to look at Du Yunlong, saying, "Yunlong, for tomorrow's battle, I'm afraid you'll need to raise your focus to the utmost. If you grow the slightest bit lax, you're liable to become the backdrop Qin Tian tramples over to make his name resound across the land!"

"Master…"

Hearing even Daojun Qiankun speak this way, Du Yunlong's expression changed at once. He looked at Daojun Qiankun in surprise and said, "I've seen all of Qin Tian's moves. Estimating his cultivation, it should be at the Four-star Daluo Golden Immortal level at most—he absolutely won't exceed Five-star Daluo Golden Immortal."

"So even if he is a Five-star Daluo Golden Immortal, I believe I can still defeat him, and it won't take much effort."

Du Yunlong spoke seriously, "These past years, it's not just others who've grown stronger—I have too. I've bitterly trained, and I've grown stronger as well."

"Don't speak of a Five-star Daluo Golden Immortal powerhouse—even if it's a Six-star Daluo Golden Immortal, I think I still have the ability to fight across realms!"

Du Yunlong spoke with absolute confidence.

But if he really could challenge a Six-star Daluo Golden Immortal across realms, then Du Yunlong's strength truly would be monstrously terrifying!

The Elders beside them all stared, somewhat dumbfounded, when they heard this.

"Cross-realm challenge? As expected, impressive!"

"Formidable. If that's really the case, then Yunlong does indeed have grounds to be proud."

"Scorn is scorn, but I still think we need to properly prepare for the finals…"

The few Elders' opinions were not unified.

Du Yunlong said, "Please rest assured, Elders. I've never underestimated any opponent strategically. I'll prepare carefully. In tomorrow's finals, I will display the dominance of our Qiankun Immortal Sect! Qin Tian will meet a miserable end!"

"All right then, you Elders take a breather. In a bit, tell Yunlong about Qin Tian's move patterns—his strengths, weaknesses, and the tips to defeating him."

After speaking, Daojun Qiankun pulled Du Yunlong to the side and asked in a low voice, "Yunlong, exactly how certain are you that you can defeat Qin Tian?"

"Master, should I speak honestly?" Du Yunlong fixed his gaze on Daojun Qiankun.

Daojun Qiankun nodded. "Of course you should speak honestly."

"I'm completely certain. Qin Tian will definitely lose."

...

With the finals approaching, the Elders and Sect Leader of Qiankun Immortal Sect were all actively planning and strategizing to assist Du Yunlong.

Over on Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's side, Xuanyuan Ting wasn't idle either; he gave Qin Tian several Elixirs worth tens of millions.

At the same time, together with Wang Tianqing, he informed Qin Tian of the moves they had observed from Du Yunlong, as well as counter-strategies.

Of course, overall, Xuanyuan Immortal Sect's side did not appear as professional as Qiankun Immortal Sect. After all, entering the finals… Xuanyuan Immortal Sect hadn't managed it even once in nearly a hundred years—they simply lacked experience!

Qin Tian took in everything Xuanyuan Ting and Wang Tianqing said.

However, besides the finals, Qin Tian was currently still worried about Yan Lingshuang.

He hadn't felt much before, but now that he knew Yan Lingshuang had been gravely injured, and he hadn't seen her for a whole day, Qin Tian felt flustered and deeply concerned.

"I really have fallen for her…"

Qin Tian was very clear about his own feelings.

The matter was like a bone stuck in his throat, so at dusk, Qin Tian went out and headed toward the temporary residence of Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect.

"You're… Senior Brother Qin Tian of Xuanyuan Immortal Sect!?"

When the Disciple guarding the gate at Spiritual Spring Immortal Sect saw Qin Tian arrive, he recognized him immediately. Then his face lit up, and as if he'd just recognized a major celebrity, he walked straight up to Qin Tian.

This was the result of becoming famous.

"Senior Brother Qin Tian, the finals are tomorrow. What brings you over to our side so late?" the Disciple asked curiously.

Qin Tian had already thought it through on his way over, and spoke frankly: "Junior Brother, I heard that Senior Sister Yan Lingshuang was injured today in her fight against Senior Brother Du Yunlong, so I came specifically to visit her."

"You came to us this late just to visit Senior Sister Yan Lingshuang?"

The Disciple stared at Qin Tian with a mysteriously knowing look and chuckled. "I'm afraid you have some other motives too, right?"

Qin Tian felt a wave of awkwardness. "Ahem… well… there actually is… another motive…"

"Could it be that you're planning to use the opportunity of visiting Senior Sister Yan Lingshuang to ask her about Senior Brother Du Yunlong's strength and his attack patterns?"

The Disciple said this with a grin, and Qin Tian was stunned.

Then Qin Tian immediately smiled, gave the Disciple a big thumbs-up, and said, "Exactly, nothing gets past you. You're very smart, Junior Brother! Then, could I trouble you to inform Senior Sister Yan Lingshuang?"

"All right, just wait here a moment."

The Disciple turned around and went inside.

Qin Tian still had a smile on his face.

But a few minutes later, that Disciple came back out and said, "Senior Brother Qin Tian, sorry—Senior Sister Yan Lingshuang is still gravely injured and unconscious right now, so I'm afraid she can't see you."
