Chapter 3639: Zhong Ke Qi
The ear-piercing noise rang in the large arena behind the Ten Stars Pavilion, shocking the Ten Stars students, including Liu Jin and Ding Yan.
When Duan Ling Tian had waved his hand, the energy from a Fused Profundity had swept out before the sword rays from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity shot out, seamlessly merging together. With that, the force of his attack rose tremendously.
With this, when two opponents’ attacks collided, Duan Ling Tian’s attack easily overwhelmed Hong Jun’s attack.
When Hong Jun regained his senses, he hurriedly brought out his artifact to defend himself against the attack that was sweeping toward him. Even then, he only barely managed to defend against it.
“I lost.” Although Hong Jun’s robe remained intact, his hair tie had snapped, causing his hair to flutter in the air. At this time, a blue translucent sword could be seen in his hand. It was clearly an extraordinary sword. This was his artifact. Although he managed to defend against Duan Ling Tian’s attack by a slight margin, he was not happy at all. In fact, a hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was out of his expectations that the newcomer possessed such strength. If he did not utilize his artifact earlier, he would not have been able to withstand the attack. Moreover, his opponent did not use an artifact at all. This clearly meant that Duan Ling Tian was far stronger than him.
The students and teachers fell silent at this moment, shocked. When they regained their senses, they all wore expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
“Heavens! I’m not dreaming, am I? Duan Ling Tian comprehended a triple Fused Profundity from the law of space as well?”
“I didn’t think another genius would appear in the Hidden Fog Academy again after thousands of years…”
“Duan Ling Tian is even better than that genius from 4,000 years ago. That genius only comprehended the law of fire while Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of space, one of the Four Supreme Laws, that’s known for being difficult to comprehend!”
“In today’s battle, Duan Ling Tian proved he’s stronger than the five strongest Ten Stars students. Those five people, including Hong Jun, are just stepping stones to his success!”
“Where did such a monstrous talent come from? He doesn’t even need to go through the Hidden Fog Academy to join the Hidden Fog Sect with his talent! Why did he come to the academy?”
Many people wondered why Duan Ling Tian did not directly go to the Hidden Fog Sect when he was more than qualified to do so. Naturally, they did not know that Duan Ling Tian wanted to keep as low a profile as possible to avoid being targeted. It was better to slowly ascend the ranks and use the academy as a springboard to enter the Hidden Fog Sect. Although the process was longer, it was safer.
Duan Ling Tian knew he did not have any connections in the Profound Energy Land and only had himself to depend on. Hence, he could not act rashly.
“Teacher Yuan, I would’ve won if you agreed to bet with me earlier,” Chu Feng Yang said teasingly when he regained his senses. Although he was shocked by the extent of Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he was not as shocked as the others.
Yuan Lei, who had regained his senses, said unhappily, “Teacher Chu, everyone in the academy knows you’re very cautious and won’t act unless you’re certain of your success. With that, do you think I’ll be fooled into making a bet with you?”
After that, Yuan Lei observed the purple-clad figure in the distance. He did not expect that the newcomer was not only highly talented but possessed such a profound comprehension of the law as well. With such strength, the newcomer was the strongest student in the entire Hidden Fog Academy. The newcomer, Duan Ling Tian, really surprised him today.
Duan Ling Tian remained calm when faced with the countless surprised people staring at him. After defeating Hong Jun, he asked, “Teacher Chu, I can challenge the occupants from the prominent-grade courtyards now, right?”
“Yes.” Chu Feng Yang smiled and nodded. “There are five people occupying the prominent-grade courtyards. Two of them are as strong as Hong Jun as for the other three…”
Although Chu Feng Yang did not finish his words, the spectators in the surroundings had already filled in the blanks for Duan Ling Tian.
“Hey, that person from Skywind City’s Zhong clan is occupying a prominent-grade courtyard, right?”
Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up. He recalled how the fourth Clan Leader of the Zhong clan had been rude to him at the Zhou clan’s action half a month ago. At that time, the fourth Clan Leader of the Zhou clan was so angry that he had been determined to seek revenge from him.
“Teacher Chu,” Duan Ling Tian said, “I want to challenge Zhong Ke Qi who’s staying in the prominent-grade courtyard.”
“Are you sure?” Chu Feng Yang asked.
Zhong Ke Qi was also a Ten Stars student. He was the only son of the second Clan Leader of the Zhong clan, and thus, a direct descendant of the Zhong clan. The main Clan Leader of the Zhong clan was his uncle who doted on him greatly. Moreover, his uncle had no children of his own so he loved him even more. His uncle treated him like a son since his father was one of the earliest to have children in the clan. For this reason, many people in Skywind City thought that he was likely to become the main Clan Leader of the Zhong clan in the future.
For this reason, many people were afraid of offending Zhong Ke Qi. In Skywind City, only a few people dared to provoke him. However, these few people also occupied a prominent-grade courtyard so there was no reason for them to provoke him.
At the same time, when the spectators heard Duan Ling Tian intend to challenge Zhong Ke Qi, they were shocked. None of them, including Chu Feng Yang and Hong Jun, expected him to challenge the little prince of the Zhong clan.
“Zhong Ke Qi?!”
“Duan Ling Tian is going to challenge Zhong Ke Qi?!”
In Skywind City, Zhong Ke Qi was also known as the little prince of the Zhong clan.
At this time, Ding Yan’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind again. He said solemnly through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, Zhong Ke Qi is the pride of the Zhong clan. Although his talent and comprehension skills aren’t the best, his status is definitely one of the highest. If you rob him of his prominent-grade courtyard, you’ll end up offending the Zhong clan as well.”
Following that, Liu Jin’s Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind as well. “Duan Ling Tian, are you sure you want to challenge Zhong Ke Qi?”
Chu Feng Yang looked at Duan Ling Tian silently, waiting for Duan Ling Tian to confirm again that he indeed wished to challenge Zhong Ke Qi. He did not dissuade Duan Ling Tian like the others because he wished Duan Ling Tian’s presence would bring much-needed to the group of Ten Stars students. Duan Ling Tian challenging Zhong Ke Qi would definitely bring about a change. Apart from that, he was also certain the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy would keep his words and protect Duan Ling Tian to the best of his ability. After all, the dean had always admired prodigies like Duan Ling Tian. The dean would definitely value Duan Ling Tian who had a high innate talent and comprehension skills.
Finally, Duan Ling Tian replied, “Yes, I’m sure.” After a moment, he asked, “However, Teacher Chu, I heard that Zhong Ke Qi isn’t even as strong as Hong Jun. Will he dare to accept my challenge? Don’t tell me I have to wait until the deadline is up when he has to give up his prominent-grade courtyard?”
A frown could be seen on Duan Ling Tian’s face at this moment. Clearly, he was unwilling to wait.
“According to the rules, you have no choice but to wait,” Chu Feng Yang said with a wry smile. This was a rule everyone had to follow.
At this moment, a cold scoff rang in the air. Soon enough, a young man dressed in a brocade robe appeared.
The spectators’ eyes instantly shifted to the luxuriously-clad young man who appeared in the sky above the arena that was located behind the Ten Stars Pavilion.
“It’s Zhong Ke Qi!”
“It seems like someone told him about what happened so he came!”
