In the corner of pencak silat training field.
Duan Ling Tian's body was like a spirit snake as his figure shifted incessantly …
He looked slow but was actually as fast as the wind.
“I should be able to break through the initial stage in at least ten days or at most half a month.”
Duan Ling Tian's figure flinched and he once again stood still. The corner of his mouth formed a thin smile.
According to the recollection of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian knew that his current Snake Spirit Movement Technique was in the basic stage and would soon be able to step into the initial stage.
When the Snake Spirit Movement Technique stepped into the initial stage, he would obtain a qualitative change in speed …
The Snake Spirit Movement Technique was a high-level Profound Rank martial skill. Even at the initial stage, it was comparable to a middle grade Profound Level martial skill at the mastery stage and a low level Profound Level martial skill at the perfection stage.
Duan Ling Tian stopped cultivating in time because perseverance was the key and results would not be achieved overnight.
He was ready to return home and absorb the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid to cultivate so that he could reach the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage as soon as possible.
According to what he had gathered, the annual clan martial arts meeting would be held two months from now.
If he wanted to become a core court disciple, he would have to show strength that far exceeded his peers during the clan martial match.
The corner of the martial training field that Duan Ling Tian had chosen was quite quiet.
When he walked out and arrived at the central area of the martial arts training field, he saw a group of people standing scattered and watching something.
Influenced by his curiosity, he walked over.
In the middle of the crowd, a beautiful and graceful figure stood there. In his hand was a three-foot-long blade that had turned into a sword luster, skillfully revealing an incredible sword skill.
This was a beautiful young girl around seventeen years old. Her face was as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon.
Ever since she arrived in this world, she was the only woman she had seen other than Ke Er and her mother with such outstanding looks.
The young girl had long, soft and straight hair that accompanied the movements of her figure, fluctuating lightly.
Under the scorching sunlight, the three-foot-long blade in his hand flickered with a dazzling glint.
Suddenly, an ancient giant silhouette flourished on it.
Whooshing sound!
His sword struck, leaving a series of shadows behind as it flashed.
The three leaves that fell from the tree beside were all cut in half, drifting down to the ground.
When the girl finished, she was already drenched in sweat.
Clap clap clap …
Immediately, the surroundings sounded with applause and cheers.
“As expected of one of our top three outer court, Brother Shi Shi. His Perfect Stage Shadow Sword was too formidable. "
“Yes, cut three non-straight leaves with just one sword attack. In the entire outer court, I was worried that only Brother Shi Shi was capable of doing so. "
“Seventeen years old and is at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage. With a low-level Profound Level martial skill, Shadow Sword, cultivated to the perfection stage, Big Brother Shi is the first in our Li Clan's younger generation female list.
Duan Ling Tian heard the cheers and applause around him.
The top three in the outer court?
Shi Shi Shi's brother?
"Could it be Li Shi Shi?"
Duan Ling Tian recalled that when he went to the trade market medicinal shop a few days ago, Li Xiao and Li Yuan mentioned a girl named Li Shi Shi in their chat.
Looking at him today, he truly deserved his reputation!
In terms of his appearance, he was only slightly inferior to Ke Er …
"Sister Shi Shi, wash away your sweat."
A young girl smiled lightly as she gave a handkerchief to Li Shi Shi.
After Li Shi Shi wiped the sweat on his forehead, his clear pupils constricted as he realized that one of the gazes from the crowd was different from the other.
Everyone present was practically lost in astonishment at his sword skill.
But this fellow seemed to think that his sword skill was not worth taking seriously.
In his heart arose a slight sense of loss and competitiveness.
“You think my sword skill is mediocre?”
Under the gazes of the surrounding people, Li Shi Shi arrived in front of the young man, his tone containing a trace of questioning.
At this moment, the people present noticed the young man.
“Eh, isn't he Duan Ling Tian?”
"That's it! I was there that day. "
"He seems to be only sixteen …"
“Eh, the young girl who is usually inseparable from him is actually not here. I heard that the young girl's beauty was even slightly above Li Shi Shi. "
Hearing the discussions around him, Li Shi shi's clear eyes shone with a hint of shock.
He had heard what happened a few days ago.
“Skill your sword is not bad. If you reduce his talent a little, maybe it could become even stronger. "
Duan Ling Tian, who was the focus of the crowd, nodded indifferently.
"Talent?"
The crowd around him laughed out loud.
"This Lord Ling Tian could not think that just because his Howling Tiger Fist was formidable, he was able to provide guidance to Big Brother Shi in his sword skills, right?"
“Only a layman, but he dares to talk nonsense!”
“The cultivation stage of Big Brother Shi's Shadow Sword may be similar to his Howling Tiger Fist, but Brother Shi's cultivation is one level higher than his; combined with the three-foot-long sword in his hand, he would be able to easily defeat it. ”
The crowd started defending Li Shi Shi against Duan Ling Tian.
“I just heard that your Howling Tiger Fist is tough. Could it be that you are also proficient in swordsmanship? "
Li Shi Shi looked at Duan Ling Tian with a deep gaze.
Duan Ling Tian did not expect that telling the truth would incur public outrage.
He could not help but sigh in his heart.
Sometimes it's not easy to be an honest person …
"Sword!"
Walking out with large strides, Duan Ling Tian opened his hands in front of Li Shi Shi.
Li Shi Shi reacted and handed his sword to Duan Ling Tian. His gaze exuded astonishment as he guessed what Duan Ling Tian was planning.
“This Lord Ling Tian still wants to show a bit of his skills in front of an expert?”
“She's too rash!”
Duan Ling Tian did not pay attention because the fact would be able to speak for itself.
A moment later, Duan Ling Tian replaced Li Shi Shi. His hand clasped the three-foot-long sword as he stood in the middle of the crowd.
The wind blew and the leaves of the trees began to drift downwards.
Whooshing sound!
Under everyone's gaze, Duan Ling Tian's sword moved.
But everyone present, including Li Shi Shi, only saw flashes of flowing light.
From start to finish, they were not even able to see how Duan Ling Tian attacked with his sword.
He completed his sword attack?
Everyone has doubts in their hearts.
"Quick, look!"
Someone seemed to have noticed something.
What they saw was that from the strands of leaves that had floated down from the tree earlier, there were over ten that had been sliced into two, slowly falling to the ground.
Hissing!
The people present could not help but exhale deeply from the cold air.
Only after Duan Ling Tian returned his sword and left did Li Shi Shi finally regain consciousness.
Seeing the sight of his proud and aloof back from afar, Li Shi shi's heart felt defeat for the first time. The honor of being the top three in the outer court looked like a title made to mock him.
From the day he started cultivating, he had always used a sword.
Regarding sword skills, he had intuition that exceeded ordinary people.
He knew in his heart that if he were to fight Duan Ling Tian someday, even if Duan Ling Tian's cultivation was lower than him by one level, he would be able to do so, Duan Ling Tian could easily defeat him or even kill him with a sword attack earlier.
“Duan Ling Tian, I will remember you.”
Li Shi Shi secretly said in his heart.
Duan Ling Tian saw what happened earlier as something that was done just like that, not even worth mentioning.
But using Li Shi Shi's low Profound Level martial skill, Shadow Sword, as a reference, combined with the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor to estimate …
Duan Ling Tian came to a conclusion.
His full-strength Sword Drawing Art possessed strength comparable to a middle-grade Profound Level sword skill at the perfection stage, or comparable to a high-level Profound Level sword skill at the mastery stage.
If he were to surprise someone, it could even achieve the effects of a high-level Profound Rank sword skill.
“Hmm?”
Duan Ling Tian suddenly stopped walking as he looked towards the way home. Both figures stood there.
They seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time.
LI Yuan, Li Xiao.
Duan Ling Tian casually glanced at them before deciding to surround them.
But who knew that they would be so arrogant, even blocking Duan Ling Tian's path once again.
"Is there a problem?"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes shone with a cold light.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he was afraid of it.
“Duan Ling Tian, give us all the silver banknotes you have!” Li Xiao snorted.
Having Li Yuan, one of the top three in the outer court, to support him, he was filled with confidence.
If he knew about the incredible sword skills that Duan Ling Tian had executed in the field of his previous martial arts training that even led to one of the top three in the outer court, it would be, Li Shi Shi, feeling his own admiration and inferiority, he probably wouldn't have done so. had such thoughts by now.
World affairs are so extraordinary.
"You want all the silver banknotes I have?"
Duan Ling Tian laughed and patted his chest which was ‘thick’. "I did carry quite a lot of silver, but why should I give it to you?"
"Why?"
Li Xiao sneered, “If you don't want to suffer, then be kind and hand over all your silver money. Also, from now on, make the young girl who is always by your side, Ke Er, accompany Big Brother Li Yuan. ”
"Shut up!"
The sword-shaped brows of Duan Ling Tian twitched. His expression did not seem angry, but it had an imposing demeanor, and an extremely frightening killing intent instantly enveloped Li Xiao.
Ke Er was like an upside-down scale on the dragon's neck for him; touch him and he would go on a rampage and kill that person!
Li Xiao's expression became frightened and his legs began to shiver.
An Asura-like killing intent caused his mental barrier to collapse.
“Hmmph!”
Duan Ling Tian left with big strides while snorting.
If he had been anywhere else, he would have long since crippled or killed Li Xiao.
But this was the Aurora City Li Clan; if he crippled or killed Li Xiao, even if the Li Clan ignored this matter, the Li Xiao family would not let go.
After all, Li Xiao was a major clan disciple with deep roots in the Clan.
He could not help thinking twice.
"Brother Li Yuan, why don't you stop him?" Li Xiao sighed in relief. He had a puzzled expression as he looked at Li Yuan.
“It looks like we underestimated this Duan Ling Tian. He's not ordinary. " Li Yuan's expression was extremely heavy.
Although Duan Ling Tian's killing intent was aimed at Li Xiao earlier, he was slightly touched by it and it caused his heart to tremble.
“Surely doesn't mean we'll just let it go?” Li Xiao had an unwilling expression.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan slowly said, “We can look for it again as soon as my Golden Bell Cover steps into the early stages. For some reason, I don't have the confidence to win at the moment. "
"What?"
Li Xiao's expression was filled with disbelief.
He did not expect that a mere branch family disciple, and a disciple with another surname at that time, would be, it would actually be able to cause Li Yuan who was considered one of the top three in the other court to think twice.
After hesitating for a while, Li Xiao asked, "Brother Li Yuan, should we ask my brother to make a move?"
Li Yuan's eyes flickered as he slowly said, "What, don't tell me you want to let your brother get a share? According to what I know, even though you two are brothers, your relationship is not very good. Your brother openly and secretly calls you trash. If he participates in this matter, I fear that all the benefits of our efforts will be obtained. ”
Li Xiao's expression turned grim.
This is a real possibility.
There was no one more clear about his brother's behavior than himself, domineering and fearless!
“Alright, we will wait for the Golden Bell Cover Brother Li Yuan to step into the initial stage. Huh! We will only let Duan Ling Tian rest on his laurels for a few more days. ”
Li Xiao quickly made a decision.
