Chapter 3128: Duan Ling Tian Cheated?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian scoffed.

After the golden saber rays were absorbed by the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity, the Distortion Profundity caused the void to ripple violently.

When Duan Ling Tian stopped using the Restraining Profundity, Hong Ji was sent flying out.

Hong Ji who was severely injured coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian was completely unscathed. He did not even look like he had gone through a fierce battle.

At this moment, Tong Qi Shan stepped forward and supported Hong Ji to his feet as he asked worriedly, “Hong Ji, are you alright?”

Since the duo from the Leaving Willow Mansion was working together in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, it meant that they had a good relationship. Now that Hong Ji was severely injured, how could Tong Qi Shan not feel worried? Nevertheless, he did not harbor any intention to seek revenge for Hong Ji. After all, he was slightly weaker than Hong Ji. Although Tong Qi Shan had also comprehended five profundities, if he fought with Hong Ji, at most, their fight would end in a draw if he used the law of earth’s power defensive techniques. In terms of offense, he was no match for Hong Ji. After all, Hong Ji had comprehended five of the best profundities from the law of metal such as the Slashing Inches Profundity and Piercing Profundity, which were the two main offensive profundities from the law of metal. Normally, even if Hong Ji’s opponents had comprehended more than five profundities, Hong Ji was still capable of defeating them.

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to defeat Hong Ji with only five profundities from the law of space. Naturally, it would have been much faster if he had used six profundities.

After witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength, Tong Qi Shan knew he was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all. After all, Duan Ling Tian had comprehended six profundities from the law of space. Apart from that, the law of space was much stronger compared to ordinary laws since it was one of the Four Supreme Laws. Even if Duan Ling Tian had only comprehended five profundities from the law of space and both of them joined forces to deal with Duan Ling Tian, at most, their fight would end in a draw. If Duan Ling Tian fought them one-on-one, with the Teleportation Profundity, there was no doubt that both of them would be soundly defeated by Duan Ling Tian.

“I’m fine… He’s too strong. I couldn’t retaliate at all,” Hong Ji said with lingering fear. A hint of helplessness could be seen in the depths of his eyes as well. “Thank goodness we’ve never been the kind to kill indiscriminately. Otherwise, we would have died. If he didn’t show mercy and hold back his strength, I would’ve died.” His face turned even paler when he recalled his close brush with death.

“Let’s get out of here.” In the end, Hong Ji brought his Accumulative Point Jade out. He looked at it with a hint of reluctance before he crushed it. After a short moment, white mist rose from the crushed Accumulative Point Jade and shrouded Hong Ji. When the mist dissipated, he could no longer be seen.

Crack!

Tong Qi Shan followed suit and crushed his Accumulative Point Jade as well to leave the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Needless to say, the duo from the Leaving Willow Mansion silently committed the name they saw on the identity token hanging from the purple figure’s waist to their memories: Duan Ling Tian.

After Hong Ji and Tong Qi Shan left, five points were added to Duan Ling Tian’s Accumulative Point Jade. With this, he now had six points in his Accumulative Point Jade. Each Accumulate Point Jade came with one point; this meant he had gained five points from Hong Ji and Tong Qi Shan.

Hong Ji had accumulated three points, which meant he had obtained two points from his opponents. On the other hand, Tong Qi Shan had two points, which meant he had accumulated one point from his opponent. With these points and the one point Duan Ling Tian originally had, Duan Ling Tian now had six points.

‘I remember the person who’s ranked 100th only had four points. Those who ranked from the 89th to the 92nd place have six points. The person ranked 93rd has five points. If the ranking hasn’t changed since then, I should be at the 93rd place now,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Naturally, the 93rd place was far from his ultimate goal.

After putting his Accumulative Point Jade away, Duan Ling Tian moved toward the forested mountain. In just a moment, he appeared 100 meters away. Then, he vanished and reappeared 100 meters further. In just a few moments, he disappeared from the perilous terrain of the forested mountain.

…

In the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

At this moment, on the three main islands, a commotion had broken out in the three sites where the Transporting Formations to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were located.

This was due to a new name that had appeared across the three scoreboards. Normally, a new name appearing on the scoreboards would not elicit any reaction. However, this name caused an uproar because there were three words behind the name: Profound Nether Mansion. The people from the Profound Nether Mansion were naturally curious since they had not heard of this name before. After all, this meant the new person on the scoreboard was a disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion.

“Duan Ling Tian?”

“Who’s he? Since when did such a person appear in the Profound Nether Mansion?”

“Someone who’s capable of ranking in the top 100 should be well known in the Profound Nether Mansion, right? After all, we know many powerful Ten Directions Celestial Dukes who didn’t even make it into the top 100.”

“Does anyone know him?”

The news of a disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion ranking in the top 100 was, naturally, good news. Although the ranking was not enough to benefit the Profound Nether Mansion, it proved that the Profound Nether Mansion had many strong members. Apart from benefiting the grade-six Celestial Mansions, the ranking of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had also become a symbol of honor among the grade-six Celestial Mansions. The grade-six Celestial Mansion whose member ranked first or the grade-six Celestial Mansion with the most members ranking in the top 100 held great honor. Therefore, it was only natural that another disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion ranking in the top 100 would draw the attention of the disciples in the Profound Nether Mansion.

“Duan Ling Tian? Why does this name sound so familiar?” An elder seated behind a counter in one of the Transporting Formation sites frowned. After a moment, his eyes lit up. “Isn’t he that young man whom Inspector Qi brought here today?” He was the person who had registered Duan Ling Tian and given Duan Ling Tian the Accumulative Point Jade earlier.

Then, he muttered to himself, “Duan Ling Tian… Could it be someone else with the same name?” The elder remembered Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old so he was not sure if the person who had ranked in the top 100 was the same person as the young man whom he had met earlier today.

“Let me check…” the elder muttered to himself. Since he was working in the site of a Transporting Formation, he had the authority to check the information of the disciples who entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. After checking, he discovered there was only one person with the name Duan Ling Tian who entered the middle realm today. This meant the person who ranked in the top 100 was the young man who had come with Qi Tian Ming earlier.

Upon discovering this, the elder mumbled to himself, clearly in shock and disbelief, “He just entered the middle realm less than two hours ago, right? In such a short time, he managed to obtain six points?”

The elder told another elder about his discovery before word of this spread like a wildfire at the sites of the three Transporting Formations.

“Hey, word has it that Duan Ling Tian is the young man who came with Inspector Qi earlier today!”

“The young man with Inspector Qi? Didn’t he just arrive roughly an hour ago? Moreover, he’s not even 100 years old, right?”

“That’s right. He’s not even 100 years old, but he somehow managed to obtain six points and made it to the top 100 less than two hours after he entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm… Is this even possible?”

“It’s impossible! Let alone the Profound Nether Mansion, I don’t think there’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke younger than 100 years old in the history of the Southern Heaven Territory. Moreover, for him to rank in the top 100 so quickly, apart from being a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, he also has to comprehend powerful profundities. How’s it possible for someone below the age of 100 to achieve all these things?”

“I agree… If that young man is Duan Ling Tian, then, he must have bribed the disciples from other Celestial Mansions to give him their points!”

“He must have cheated!”
