The War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

#10 "He's not afraid to come, is he?"

One month passed quickly.

Today was the day of the battle between Duan Ling Tian and Li Jie.

Dawn, in a clean and tidy room.

Duan Ling Tian stood up and walked out of the bathtub.

He had just completed the last part of the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid.

As he lightly shook his numb body and sensed the power contained within, there was an indistinct smile on the corner of Duan Ling Tian's mouth.

This entire month of hard work was not in vain!

After going through bitter cultivation for a month, the immaturity on Duan Ling Tian's face had faded a little.

Tempering the body for a long time caused Duan Ling Tian's body to become strong and sturdy.

His dark purple tight clothes showed off his perfect physique.

Compared to the sick appearance he had one month before when he had yet to complete his body temperament and become a martial artist, he now looked like everyone else.

Just then, he heard a light knocking sound from outside.

"Young master, are you awake?"

A pleasant sound like the singing of an oriole bird caused a hint of gentleness to flash by Duan Ling Tian's calm expression.

After putting on his clothes properly, Duan Ling Tian walked out from behind the screen, slowly walked to the door, stretched out his hand, and opened it.

As the door opened, a gentle and warm sunlight flowed into the room and into Duan Ling Tian's body.

Outside, a slender and graceful young girl was staring at each other with Duan Ling Tian. When their eyes met, he lowered his head in panic as a hint of reddish red appeared on his face.

The young girl was wearing light green clothes that showed off her developing figure.

A pair of budding flowers that accidentally give up the temptation of youthfulness.

The slender waist that could be hugged with one hand was tied with a light blue belt that fluttered with the wind….

Staring at the young girl outside, Duan Ling Tian was dazed for a moment.

"Ke Er, you're up early."

Returning to his senses, Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly.

He sighed lightly in his heart. In this past month, ever since he had finished tempering his body, his body had become increasingly hot.

As Duan Ling Tian continued to measure it, his face was so red that blood might drip out.

"Young master, Madam said that she will go ahead. He asked me to wake you up and come along with you. I didn't expect the young master to wake up so early."

The young girl opened her eyes. His willow leaf brows curved into a crescent shape as he lightly nodded.

What the young girl said caused Duan Ling Tian to laugh bitterly.

"Ke Er, you ... broke through to the second level of the Tempering Body stage?"

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian looked at the young girl with a shocked expression when he realized that he had managed to break through.

"It's all thanks to the young master and the medicinal liquid you made for me. If it wasn't for that, Ke Er's progress wouldn't have been so fast."

The little girl's clear eyes moved slightly and her willow leaf eyebrows slightly rose. He lightly nodded his chin and the corner of his mouth smiled.

"Medicine fluids are only a secondary factor; the most important point is that you have a good innate talent. It seems like the Frost God Sword Technique suits you perfectly …. Ke Er, you will need a sword because you cultivate the sword planting method. Then in the afternoon, I'll take you out to buy a sword. "

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled.

"Young master, aren't you saying that the body tempering part of the Frost God Sword Technique doesn't contain a suitable sword skill?

The young girl opened her clear eyes.

"I'll teach you other sword skills. Do you want to learn?"

Duan Ling Tian asked playfully.

"Yes!"

He hurriedly nodded, seemingly afraid that Duan Ling Tian would go back on his words.

"Ke Er, let's go."

After walking out of his room and closing the door behind him, he naturally stretched out his hand and held the tender and tender hand of the young girl. His actions seemed very natural and refined, as if he had practiced many times.

"Yes, we can't let Madam wait for us too long."

The young girl's face smiled happily as her small hand exerted strength to hold the young man's hand tightly.

The young couple held hands as they walked out of the courtyard and towards the Li Family Martial Arts Practice Hall.

Halfway through, they attracted many gazes that contained jealousy, admiration, and hatred.

The way the few disciples of the Li Family stared at Duan Ling Tian made it seem as if their eyes would spit fire at any moment. They hoped to push Duan Ling Tian aside and replace him.

There were also some young girls who had expressions of jealousy when they looked at Ke Er, who was pretty enough to resemble a little heavenly girl.

……

The Li family Martial Arts Practice Hall was an enormous green stone arena.

The terrain outside the arena had a slightly higher height. There is a flow of people there. These people were all disciples of the Li family gathered together. They were busy with so much noise and excitement that the power of sound surged into the sky.

"Only two young men fought, but almost all the elders of the family had come. Really spectacle!"

"Yes, even the family market manager has returned from Fresh Breeze Town. The size of today's event can be compared to the coming of age ceremony."

"In my opinion, the reason that all the elders have returned is because the Seventh Elder invited the Grand Elder and the Patriarch to bear witness. They had no choice but to come or be disrespectful."

……

In front of the Martial Arts Training Arena, there was a high platform of seating laid out. Many people were already sitting there enjoying the fragrant tea.

These people were the higher-ups of the Li family.

The patriarch of the Li family, Li Nan Feng, sat in the middle.

Other than the empty seats beside him, all the other seats had been taken away. Behind each of these Li family Elders stood several teenagers and young women.

"Elder Ninth, you have good self-control."

Seventh Elder Li Kun and Li Rou were separated by the Eighth Elder. Li Kun leaned his head to look at Li Rou and smiled faintly.

Li Kun had an extremely confident expression in victory.

Li Rou acted as if she did not hear him and completely ignored him, causing the Eighth Elder who was in the middle to be unable to resist revealing a strange smile on his face.

"Oh!"

Li Kun snorted in anger.

He wanted to see how long Li Rou could continue to act.

Today, his son Li Jie would definitely cripple Duan Ling Tian and take revenge for that child who would not be able to recover from his injuries.

"Grand Elder!"

"Grand Elder!"

……

The flow of people is divided.

Along with a respectful salute, an old figure walked onto the stage.

It was the Grand Elder of the Li Family, Li Huo!

"Grand Elder!"

Including Patriarch Li Nan Feng, all the elders of the Li family stood up and respectfully saluted the old man.

This old man was not only the strongest person in the Li family, he was also a respected Ninth Grade Alchemist.

In the Cloud Continent, only a stratified alchemist could be considered a true alchemist.

Being an alchemist required one to meet extremely strict requirements.

It could be said that out of the thousand Core Formation stage martial artists, there was a possibility that no one would be able to become an alchemist.

In Fresh Breeze Town, the three families each had one Grade Nine Alchemist.

But only the alchemists of the Li Family had their own relatives, whereas the alchemists of the other two families were invited into the family by paying a large sum. Those alchemists could leave at any time.

The old man lightly nodded and sat down on the chair beside Patriarch Li Nan Feng, then he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"Little Jie, since the Grand Elder has already arrived, step into the arena."

The Seventh Elder said to Li Jie, who was standing behind him. After nodding his head, Li Jie walked into the vast Martial Arts Practice Hall.

"Even the Grand Elder had arrived and Li Jie had entered the arena, but why had Duan Ling Tian not come yet?"

"What manners does Duan Ling Tian have!"

"He's not afraid to come, is he?"

……

The disciples of the Li family around the Martial Arts Practice Hall started talking to each other. Some of them even felt contempt towards Duan Ling Tian.

"Ninth Elder, even the Great Elder has arrived; why hasn't your son Duan Ling Tian arrived yet? He's not afraid to come, is he?"

The Seventh Elder deliberately said loudly on the high platform.

"Don't worry, Seventh Elder. Since my son has agreed to the battle, he will naturally come."

Li Rou made a light "humph" sound.

"Ninth Elder, I feel there is no reason to do battle today. Why don't you admit it on behalf of your son? At least this way you can avoid him getting hurt and prevent the relationship between you and the Seventh Elder from getting hurt. "

Sixth Elder Li Ping, a man with a knife scar on his face, said coldly as he got on good terms with Li Kun.

"Sixth Elder, according to what you said, do you think that Li Jie will definitely win?"

The Fifth Elder could not help but ask.

"That's a publicly acknowledged fact."

Li Ping smiled.

"Then Sixth Elder, let's bet …. If Li Jie wins, I will pay you five hundred silver, but if Duan Ling Tian wins, you will pay me five hundred silver. What say?"

Li Ting looked at Li Ping deeply before slowly saying this.

The Li family elders were only paid no more than twenty silver each month. Li Ting unexpectedly used his salary for several years to bet!

The Li family higher-ups at the scene, including Patriarch Li Nan Feng, looked at Li Ting in shock. They could never imagine that he was so confident towards Duan Ling Tian.

Even Grand Elder Li Huo opened his eyes and stared intently at Li Ting.

After hearing what Li Ting said, Li Ping eyes shone brightly.

He was originally a person who liked to gamble; he could be considered a gambling addict. In her mind, Li Ting gave her a free money reward.

The only problem was that he did not have five hundred silver at the moment.

Most of the money is spent in the gambling room.

"Are you afraid, Sixth Elder?"

Seeing that Li Ping was silent, Li Ting laughed.

Li Ping face instantly flushed red. He bowed and looked towards Seventh Elder Li Kun.

"Sixth Elder, I can lend you five hundred silver. Furthermore, I will take another five hundred silver to bet with the Fifth Elder. Are you willing to bet with me, Fifth Elder?"

Li Jie said, after noticing Li Ping's predicament. He looked at Li Ting with a sharp look.

Li Ting frowned.

Although five hundred silver was only a few years' salary, once the cost for these few years was taken into account, Li Ting only had around eight hundred silver saved.

Li Kun, who could accumulate the savings of a thousand silvers, could be considered wealthy amongst the Li family Elders.

It could be said that Li Kun risked his entire fortune and went all out!
