“Senior Brother Zhang Ji is actually defeated?!”

“How’s this possible?”

“If I’m not mistaken, the attack Senior Brother Zhang Ji had cast earlier is the high-grade punch-type Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch! I can’t believe Senior Brother Zhang Ji has successfully comprehended and mastered it!”

“Based on Senior Brother Zhang Ji’s current strength, when he unleashes all his techniques and casts the Cyclopean Punch, his strength is no different from an ordinary Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse. Even then, it seems like he didn’t manage to injure Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian at all!”

“Not only did he not injure Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian, but Senior Brother Zhang Ji is injured and defeated in the end!”

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were in an uproar.

The fight between Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, and Zhang Ji’s Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch, had shocked the Turtle Sanctum’s disciples.

Prior to this, they were not aware that both of them had mastered an offensive Divine Ability!

Initially, they thought Duan Ling Tian had a small chance of winning when they saw him cast the high-grade offensive Divine Ability. However, when they saw Zhang Ji had also cast a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, none of them thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to win since Zhang Ji was far stronger than Duan Ling Tian.

Coupled with his high-grade offensive Divine Ability, he would definitely overpower Duan Ling Tian even if Duan Ling Tian had also cast a high-grade offensive Divine Ability.

Initially, things unfolded the way they had imagined. Zhang Ji’s energy managed to shatter Duan Ling Tian’s energy and swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

At the moment when they thought Duan Ling Tian would be sent flying and defeated, a shocking scene unfolded before their eyes.

A terrifying whirlpool suddenly appeared around Duan Ling Tian. It was none other than the assist-type Divine Ability that he had cast before. When the whirlpool appeared, it absorbed the energy that Zhang Ji had released. After that, Duan Ling Tian pushed his palm out and released his energy and the energy he absorbed from Zhang Ji. The mixture of the two resulted in an extremely terrifying energy.

Although Zhang Ji defended with all his might, he was still severely wounded. He might not be dead or crippled, but judging by his wounds, he would not be able to stand up without resting for half a day.

“What exactly is that assist-type Divine Ability that Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian mastered? Apart from being able to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings to strengthen his own strength in a short time, it can even absorb his opponent’s energy! It’s too terrifying!”

“Based on what we’ve seen, even the most precious assist-type Divine Ability in the Azure Dragon Sanctum is far from being comparable to Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Ability!”

“In my opinion, even the strongest assist-type Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect might not be able to compare to Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Ability, let alone the Azure Dragon Sanctum’s most treasured assist-type Divine Ability!”

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples discussed Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Ability and how it turned the tide of the battle at the critical moment, resulting in his victory. Without it, he would have been defeated. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian’s high-grade Divine Ability became the focus of their discussion.

“I’ve never heard of the assist-type Divine Ability that Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian had cast before!”

“Neither have I!”

“It’s really a horrifying Divine Ability!”

Although there were many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples, they soon found out that none of them had heard about Duan Ling Tian’s assist-type Divine Ability. Not only that, they did not even know what it was called. That Divine Ability was a mystery to them.

“What a fearsome assist-type Divine Ability!” Even Jiang Chu who already had one foot in the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage was also shocked when he regained his senses. He was shocked by how Duan Ling Tian managed to turn the tide of the battle and defeat Zhang Ji at the critical moment.

In fact, Jiang Chu did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to win when he saw Zhang Ji had cast his high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch!

At that time, Zhang Ji’s strength was almost evenly matched with him!

“I can’t believe Zhang Ji has actually successfully comprehended the high-grade Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch that his master passed on to him. If I were to fight him now, I’m not entirely confident I’ll be able to defeat him. At most, we’ll come to a draw!” A hint of disdain appeared in Jiang Chu’s eyes as he looked at Zhang Ji who was lying unconscious on the ground.

Zhang Ji’s strength after he came out of his closed-door cultivation had pressured Jiang Chu.

He took a deep breath as he glanced at the Secundus house that used to belong to Zhang Ji before returning to his own Secundus house to go into closed-door cultivation.

‘I won’t come out of closed-door cultivation until I’ve broken through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!’ Jiang Chu made up his mind before he even entered his house.

After a while, Zhang Ji finally woke up. However, since he was severely injured, it was difficult for him to move. It felt as though his tendons and muscles were frozen stiff.

Although many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples had already left, there were still a few of them that stood around discussing the earlier battle.

“During the battle, from the beginning until the end, I did not doubt that Senior Brother Zhang Ji would win. I didn’t expect that he would be defeated in the end!”

“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s strength is just too heaven-defying! The strength that Senior Brother Zhang Ji demonstrated with the help of the high-grade Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch, is at the peak of the Early Quintessential Saint Stage. Even then, he’s still defeated by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”

“I remember when the battle had just begun, Senior Brother Zhang Ji seemed to have said that he would make Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian suffer so much pain that he would wish for death instead. However, it seems like he’s the one that wishes for death now!”

“Speaking about that, I have to say that Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s temper is really good. If I were him, I’d definitely ridicule Senior Brother Zhang Ji mercilessly after I’ve defeated him to pay him back for all the humiliation he had caused!”

“Exactly! Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s temper is really good. A great man wouldn’t stoop to such a level of pettiness!”

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples continued to discuss among themselves, unaware that Zhang Ji had regained consciousness.

Upon hearing their words, Zhang Ji’s face turned red before he passed out again.

Naturally, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were unaware of the reason Duan Ling Tian did not mock Zhang Ji after he had defeated him was not due to his good temper. It was because he was not in a good condition as well. He had no energy left to mock Zhang Ji. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have given Zhang Ji a good slap!

He only managed to muster up a bit of energy and shot his parting words at Zhang Ji. “Zhang Ji, from now on, your Secundus house is mine!”

Based on this statement, it was clear that the winner of today’s battle was Duan Ling Tian!

If he had collapsed in front of everyone, people might dispute that their battle had ended in a draw. This was obviously not something Duan Ling Tian wanted.

Inside the Secundus house that used to belong to Zhang Ji, Duan Ling Tian was slumped on the ground as his body began to heal.

Not only was his Sun Saint Energy slowly recovering, but his exhaustion was slowly disappearing as well. Moreover, his Divine Consciousness became clearer as well.

“I can’t believe Zhang Ji actually comprehended a high-grade offensive Divine Ability as well…” When Duan Ling Tian recalled the scene earlier, he was still a little stunned.

Duan Ling Tian was not certain he would be a match for Zhang Ji when he cast his high-grade Divine Ability even if he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

If the battle went on any longer, he would be definitely be defeated!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he had instinctively cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic and Soul Attack, defeating Zhang Ji in just a blow!

One could say he won the battle by sheer luck!

‘Judging by Zhang Ji’s strength, I’m afraid there are not many people below the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage who will be able to defeat him. If I want to defeat him with ease, I’ll have to break through to the Mastery Divine Saint Stage first before he breaks through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

“With my green Innate Spiritual Root and the time flow in the fourth level of Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda that’s boosted by the cultivation environment in the Secundus house, it’ll take me a month at most to break through to the Mastery Divine Saint Stage!” When Duan Ling Tian recalled that he had raised the level of his Innate Spiritual Root, an expression of confidence appeared on his face. Naturally, when Duan Ling Tian mentioned one month, it referred to the time in the outside world. One month in the outside world was equivalent to ten months in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

“No matter what, in the future, I won’t use the Elementary Devouring Tactic to devour someone else’s energy unless it’s absolutely necessary! I can’t let the energy in my body overload again. Not only did it feel torturous, but there’s a risk of my body exploding as well!” If Duan Ling Tian did not manage to release the building energy in his body in time, he would have exploded.

‘Zhang Ji’s pretty unlucky! It’s not like I could control the energy. At that time, I had simply pushed out a palm to release the energy, who knew he would be standing in front of me at that moment!’ Duan Ling Tian took pleasure in Zhang Ji’s misfortune when he thought about this

….

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that at this moment an uninvited guest had shown up in the residence of First Silver Flame Elder Li An in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

This uninvited guest was none other than Yang Chong, the fifth elder from a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Northern Plethora Sect!

He was the biological father of Yang Wu whom Duan Ling Tian had killed in a Death Duel on the day they arrived at the Black Turtle Sanctum.
