War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 3466 - Challenging Duan Ling Tian

Chapter 3466: Challenging Duan Ling Tian

During the first round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, there were a few who had a breakthrough under the pressure. Therefore, they were eyed by many partic.i.p.ants.

“Ah! Why didn’t I think of challenging these fellows?!”

A young partic.i.p.ant who had just won a duel said regretfully, “I forgot about them! If I had challenged any one of them earlier, I wouldn’t have struggled so bitterly during my duel. Even if they just had a breakthrough and gained the strength of a t.i.tled Celestial Lord, they still aren’t too strong!”

“Heh, this person is quite cunning. Out of all of them, he picked the only woman!”

“He probably thinks w.a.n.g Ting is a pushover.”

As the discussion continued to spread, many began to scour the list of names for the partic.i.p.ants who had just had a breakthrough recently.

Naturally, there were also those who were already prepared to challenge w.a.n.g Ting and the others but had yet to have a chance to.

Swoos.h.!.+

As soon as one of the ten duels ended, a partic.i.p.ant swiftly flew into the battle ring and called out the name of one of the partic.i.p.ants who had only recently broken through.

“d.a.m.n it! He’s fast! Now there’s one fewer person to challenge!”

Many partic.i.p.ants began to curse.

w.a.n.g Ting had just stepped into the battle ring when another duel ended. With this, dozens of figures hastily flew out of their seats like bolts of lightning toward the battle ring. All of them rushed to the battle ring, hoping to challenge the remaining few who had only recently broken through. There was a sense of urgency since two of those people had already been challenged.

As soon as the fastest partic.i.p.ant entered the battle ring, the remaining partic.i.p.ants were sent flying back with a wave of Xu Kong Hai’s hand. However, the energy that swept them away was rather gentle, like a gentle wave carrying them unhurriedly back to their seats. All of their expressions were rather unsightly.

“d.a.m.n it! I lost!”

“How’s that kid so fast?”

The partic.i.p.ant who beat the others and entered the battle ring first was a young man dressed in blue robes. Needless to say, he challenged one of those who had just broken through during the first round with a triumphant expression on his face.

All of a sudden…

Bang!

A loud noise attracted everyone’s attention. They saw the partic.i.p.ant who had challenged w.a.n.g Ting flying out of the battle ring after exchanging a dozen moves with w.a.n.g Ting; he seemed to be heavily injured.

“d.a.m.n you! You were holding back earlier!” the young genius who had been injured by w.a.n.g Ting cursed with an unsightly expression on his face. Earlier, w.a.n.g Ting had been at a complete disadvantage the entire time. After seeing how weak she was, he grew complacent, a.s.suming that she had used her full strength. He did not expect she would erupt with strength at the crucial moment and injure him! Although he was no longer careless after being injured, he was still defeated in the end. After all, that strike had injured him heavily. If he was not injured, even if he could not defeat w.a.n.g Ting, w.a.n.g Ting would not be able to defeat him as well! At the very least, it would end in a draw.

“You’re too cunning!” The young man glared at w.a.n.g Ting with hatred flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes before he stormed off.

On the other hand, w.a.n.g Ting did not seem affected by her opponent’s att.i.tude at all. She kept to herself and unhurriedly returned to her seat near Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, the other partic.i.p.ants regained their senses and began to discuss among themselves again as they looked at w.a.n.g Ting.

Someone sighed. “She just had a breakthrough, but she’s already this strong. She’s not as simple as she seems to be…”

“That guy underestimated her and thought she was a pushover.”

Situ Yufang is too careless as well. If he wasn’t injured, at least he could’ve fought to a draw with her instead of being eliminated!”

Most people were shocked by w.a.n.g Ting’s strength. Even Duan Ling Tian did not expect her to be so strong when she had only broken through recently. She was a lot stronger than ordinary One Star G.o.ds of War despite her recent breakthrough.

He Jian Yi laughed happily when Wan Ting returned to her seat. He said excitedly, “You’re amazing, w.a.n.g Ting! Your strength is really surprising considering you’ve just broken through recently. It seems like you won’t have a problem advancing to the fourth round.”

“I think it’ll be difficult,” w.a.n.g Ting said as she shook her head, clearly not confident despite her win. After all, there were many highly talented partic.i.p.ants who hid their strength. Despite the amazing feat of achieving such strength when she just had a breakthrough, with her strength that was only comparable to an ordinary One Star G.o.d of War, it would be exceptionally difficult, if not impossible, for her to advance to the fourth round.

“w.a.n.g Ting, I didn’t expect your strength to be on par with mine when you’ve just broken through so recently,” Zhang Tian You said with a sigh. After w.a.n.g Ting’s duel, he knew their strength was similar. If they fought now, it would probably end in a tie.

At this moment, Tang San Pao said, “With w.a.n.g Ting serving as an example, you can see the other two challengers are no longer complacent and aren’t holding back their strength anymore.”

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian and the others looked at the two battle rings.

Indeed, the two challengers no longer dared to underestimate their opponents now. One defeated his opponent after exchanging ten or so moves while the other defeated his opponent after exchanging thirty or so moves. Both of them won their respective duels.

Amongst the three who had a breakthrough during the first round, only w.a.n.g Ting won her duel. Naturally, w.a.n.g Ting knew there would be others challenging her again.

After a few more duels ended, a scholarly young man gazed at Duan Ling Tian from afar and loudly said, “I, Sima Zhonghing from the Wandering Heaven, challenge the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Duan Ling Tian to a duel!”

These words immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They s.h.i.+fted their gaze to Duan Ling Tian immediately; all of them were interested to see Duan Ling Tian’s fight. Up until now, the strongest challenger only had strength comparable to top a One Star G.o.d of War, hence, the duels so far were not really exciting.

“Somebody actually challenged Duan Ling Tian!”

“Since he dares to challenge Duan Ling Tian, he has to be as strong as a Two Star G.o.d of War at least!”

“Finally someone with the strength of a Two Star G.o.d of War has issued a challenge?!”

Based on the first round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, one could tell those who pa.s.sed without any change in their expression had strength comparable to a Two Star G.o.d of War at least.

Tang San Pao laughed as though he could not wait to see the excitement. “Duan Ling Tian, who would have thought that you’d be challenged first among all of us.”

…

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms and high-ranking officials of the t.i.tle Temple branches were mostly chatting with each other and occasionally glancing at the battle rings. After all, the duels were too boring. However, at this moment, all of their attention was now focused on one of the battle rings since someone finally challenged Duan Ling Tian.

“Brother Feng, I didn’t expect someone to challenge Junior Nephew Duan so soon!” Ding Fu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, said to Feng Qing Yang, who was sitting across from him, and said with a faint smile, “It seems like this person is trying to probe Junior Nephew Duan’s strength…”

Feng Qing Yang faintly nodded. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip before putting the teacup down. His head was lowered as though he was lost in his thoughts.

Ding Fu no longer bothered Feng Qing Yang and turned his attention to Duan Lng Tian who had just flown out of his seat into the battle ring.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian, who was hovering in the air, looked at the scholarly young man indifferently and said, “Let’s start.”

“Duan Ling Tian, I know you’re also a Two Star G.o.d of War. I only challenged you today because I’m curious about the ability of the legendary Heavenly Emperor’s only true disciple!”

As soon as Sima Zhongjing finished speaking, flames surged out of his body immediately. Obviously, he had comprehended the law of fire.

Whoos.h.!.+

Sima Zhongjing seemed to have turned into a ball of flames as he shot toward Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, he cast his Fused Profundity. His Celestial Origin Energy looked like a flaming dragon as it flew toward Duan Ling Tian.

Bang!

Just as Sima Zhongjing’s attacks were about to land, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air.

Teleportation Profundity!

Swoos.h.!.+

When Duan Ling Tian reappeared behind Sima Zhongjing, a sword cry rang in everyone’s ears. Following that, they saw blood dripping from Sima Zhongjing’s neck to the ground.

As for Sima Zhongjing, his body had broken out in cold sweat, and he was frozen to his spot. When he discovered he had only suffered a superficial wound to his neck, he almost collapsed from the relief that threatened to overwhelm him. A look of delight appeared on his face upon discovering he was alive; he looked at Duan Ling Tian gratefully and said with a bow, “Thank you for showing mercy!”

Sima Zhongjing’s voice trembled slightly when he spoke. After all, fear still lingered in his heart when he thought about how there no were no restrictions about killing during the duels. Even if Duan Ling Tian had decapitated him earlier, no one would say a word.

“Hm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded faintly with an indifferent expression on his face before he returned to his seat under everyone’s terrified gazes.
