War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

After Ouyang Jian Chen’s successful match, the person who had dropped from the 14th place to the 15th place was up next. He was a disciple of a king-grade force so he thought it was best for him to challenge those at and below the 3rd place. His eyes swept through the participants before he rested his eyes on Deng Jian Yi, who was not only ranked behind Duan Ling Tian but was also sitting in the first seat behind the row where Duan Ling Tian was sitting.

Deng Jian Yi was obviously called out because his opponent was confident about defeating him. Deng Jian Yi was also from a king-grade force, after all. He was a prodigy in his force. Previously, he managed to defeat all his opponents with slightly over 30 moves.

Deng Jian Yi managed to attract many people’s attention since his performance was not bad previously. He was strong enough to be in the second tier.

The crowd had divided the top 15 participants into three tiers. Those in the first tier were Duan Ling Tian, Lady Seven, Du Po Jun, Hua Tian Du, Ji Wu Chang, and Ouyang Jian Chen; those in the second tier were Peng Dong, Qin Yuan Zheng, Situ Cheng, Murong Luo Feng, and Deng Yi Jian; the remaining four weakest participants, including the person who lost to Deng Yi Jian, were naturally in the third tier.

“I feel like Deng Yi Jian hid much of his strength.”

“Since he hid his strength, not many people challenged him. Based on the strength he just displayed, he’s definitely comparable to those in the second tier.”

“Who knows if he’s still hiding his strength?”

At this time, someone suddenly said, “It’s Lady Seven’s turn!”

The 10,000 Flowers Valley’s Lady Seven was one of two women who managed to rank in the top 15. Not only that, but she was much stronger than the other female cultivator. From the beginning until now, she managed to defeat all her opponents with ease.

“Who’s she going to challenge?”

Duan Ling Tian was also curious about who Lady Seven would challenge.

‘Perhaps, she’ll challenge Ouyang Jian Chen who’s ranked first…’

This thought had just appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind as Lady Seven shifted her gaze to him and said, “I want to challenge Duan Ling Tian.”

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, was surprised by Lady Seven’s choice.

“What’s going on?”

“Before the Latent Dragon Grand Contest started, Lady Seven took the initiative to speak to Duan Ling Tian. She has been ignoring everyone up until now. Did Duan Ling Tian reject her so she’s challenging him now out of hatred and anger?”

“I don’t think so. Although Duan Ling Tian’s handsome, he’s not so handsome that he would make someone like Lady Seven lose her rationality.”

“You can’t say that for sure. I’ve met many handsome men, but none of them has Duan Ling Tian’s extraordinary bearing.”

Duan Ling Tian felt rather flattered when he heard the conversation going on behind him. When he met Lady Seven’s gaze, he knew his appearance had nothing to do with Lady Seven’s choice to challenge him. He naturally would not back down; after all, his goal was to rank first in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.

Ding Yan, who had also overheard the conversation, asked Hou Qing Ning, “Lady Seven took the initiative to speak to Duan Ling Tian?”

Hou Qing Ning nodded as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “She wanted to meet Elder Xue Hai Chuan so she spoke to Duan Ling Tian. However, I don’t know what’s her relationship with Elder Xue. I have a feeling the reason she chose to challenge Duan Ling Tian has something to do with Xue Hai Chuan and Duan Ling Tian being acquainted.”

Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian and Lady Seven’s match had the crowd’s attention.

At this time, Linghu Huan said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Ling Tian, remember that the rewards for the first place are different from the others. Don’t ruin your chance because of a beauty. Women are the most terrifying creatures in the world. Don’t be fooled by her appearance.”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Linghu Huan meaningfully as he said, “Linghu Huan, you have to tell me about what happened in the past when you have the time.”

Linghu Huan averted his gaze and said, looking guilty, “What are you talking about? How could an intelligent man like me suffer because of a woman?”

Duan Ling Tian only chuckled in response. After all, he did not have time to continue this conversation with Linghu Huan.

At this time, Lady Seven, who was standing across from Duan Ling Tian, burst forth with Divine Energy.

The crowd began to discuss fervently among themselves.

“Who do you think will win?”

“Based on the strength they’ve shown so far, it seems like Lady Seven is slightly weaker than Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, we don’t know if she’s still hiding her strength. However, if she’s not, then she’s no match for Duan Ling Tian.”

“Even if she’s hiding her strength, there’s a chance the match will end in a tie.”

In the battle ring, Lady Seven stared at Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, thorny vines shot out of her body toward Duan Ling Tian. Clearly, she comprehended the law of wood. During her previous matches, she did use the law of wood unless her opponent was truly strong.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The thorny vines were like giant serpents baring their fangs as they shot fiercely toward Duan Ling Tian. A faint bloody mist, which was not there in Lady Seven’s previous matches, lingered around the vines.

With this, the crowd confirmed that Lady Seven had been hiding her strength.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly upon seeing this. ‘It seems like I have no choice but to reveal more of my strength.’

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s law of space’s doppelganger appeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger easily crushed Lady Seven’s attacks. Before she regained her senses, he, along with his doppelganger, teleported and appeared at her front and back. Following that, a spatial storm appeared as the sword in his hand glowed brightly.

Bang!

Lady Seven’s vines exploded immediately as she flew up, vanishing from sight.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger’s energies fused.

‘She’s fast,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a smile before he chased after her.

The crowd was in an uproar.

“The rumors are true! The law of space’s doppelganger proves that Duan Ling Tian really isn’t from the Profound Energy Land or any Realms of Gods for that matter!”

“That’s right! If he’s a descendant of a supreme powerhouse like us, he wouldn’t have been able to form a doppelganger!”

“So that’s doppelganger? It’s my first time seeing one. I’ve only heard about it previously.”

Some of the people present had heard rumors of Duan Ling Tian coming from a Devata Realm, and today, they finally confirmed the rumor was true. When most of them heard the rumor, they were skeptical. After all, how could someone from a Devata Realm become a King of Gods before turning 3,000 years old? Those from Devata Realms would be considered monstrously talented if they could even become a King of Gods at 10,000 years old. For this reason, many people did not give much credit to the rumor and were shocked when it was confirmed that Duan Ling Tian was not a native of the Realms of Gods.

“How terrifying! His doppelganger’s strength is comparable to his!”

“Apart from the lack of prominent divine artifact, it’s hard to tell him and his doppelganger apart.”

“With a prominent divine artifact, the doppelganger would be as strong as Duan Ling Tian.”

While the crowd was busy discussing among themselves, Duan Ling Tian had gained the upper hand in the battle. With just three moves, Lady Seven had fallen into a disadvantageous position, and with the fifth move from Duan Ling Tian, she was completely defeated.

“I lost.” Lady Seven did not seem dispirited after losing to Duan Ling Tian. Her gaze was determined as she looked at him and said, “After joining the Flying Dragon Sect, my first goal is to defeat you.”

“I’ll be happy to accept your challenge,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. Inwardly, he was rather impressed by her strength. She was as strong as Du Po Jun and the others.

At the same time, the corners of Hua Tian Du’s lips curled up into a smile as he murmured, “The law of space’s doppelganger? How interesting.”
