#333 Ten Breaths

During the outer court martial competition, using cultivation at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to kill the number one disciple in the outer court, Shi Hao…

One month ago, he consumed the Profound Origin Fruit, and his cultivation broke through from the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage in one go!

All of this happened to a young man who was only a little over 20 years old.

This young man was Duan Ling Tian!

Now, even within the inner court of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Duan Ling Tian's name resounded like thunder as well.

As long as it was not the uninformed inner court disciples, practically they had all heard of Duan Ling Tian.

But, even though the eight inner court disciples had heard of Duan Ling Tian, when they actually saw Duan Ling Tian, they could not avoid being a little surprised.

Just because Duan Ling Tian was really too young!

Surprising young.

For a time, Duan Ling Tian had been the absolute center of attention.

Even the Test Elder greeted Duan Ling Tian with a smile.

No one noticed that in the corner of the outer court group of disciples, Hu Xue Feng was standing there with a pair of icy-cold eyes that were emitting jealousy …

“Duan Ling Tian, the complaint between the two of us is truly irreconcilable!” Hu Xue Feng was furious in his heart, and secretly swore with admiration.

“Just luck.” Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled to the Test Elder as he replied.

The Elder test shook his head. “This is not luck. Being able to break through directly from the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage in one go after you consume the Profound Origin Fruit is enough to show that your natural talent is shocking… Workin' hard. Even in the entire Azure Forest Kingdom, no one can match your natural talent, and that can be said to be unprecedented.”

“I will.” Duan Ling Tian smiled humbly, politely and respectfully.

“I rarely that you are not arrogant or in a hurry. I'm really anticipating your future.” The Test Elder smiled at Duan Ling Tian, then asked. “I heard you entered the Seven Star Sword Sect seven months ago?”

“Ya.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “When I entered the sect that day, it was precisely you, the Test Elder, who led the outer court martial competition.”

“I didn't notice you that day.” Test Elder shook his head and smiled. “There were a total of five Test Elders in the Seven Star Sword Sect, and each Test Elder took turns in charge of the outer court disciple test and the inner court disciple exam for a year. This year, I am responsible in succession.Your exam, and it is enough to say there is destiny between the two of us.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly as he nodded. “Indeed.”

“If you are free in the future, you can often stop by my place. Mmm, I am called Jiang Huai,” said the Test Elder to Duan Ling Tian.

The group of people around him were all shocked.

The Test Elder even told Duan Ling Tian about his own name, and it was enough to show how much he thought about Duan Ling Tian …

“Don't worry Elder Jiang Huai, I will definitely come bothering you if I am free.” Duan Ling Tian nodded with a smile.

“Good.” The Examiner Elder, Jiang Huai, nodded, then his gaze swept over the outer court disciples present, and he said in a clear voice. “I've told you all about the content for the inner court disciple exam before.. You each should take turns entering the cage and fighting the Hard Ape!”

As soon as Jiang Huai finished speaking, the outer court disciples present trembled in fear.

“Isn't this asking us to give up our lives?”

“That's right! How can we deal with those two Hard Apes if we cannot use an outside source of strength? Once we enter the cage, we will definitely die!”

…

Some outer court disciples whispered in the discussion.

“Hmph!” Although the discussion sounds of the outer court disciples sounded soft, it still went into Jiang Huai's ears, and he said coldly, “If you all are afraid to die, you all are afraid to die, this time you can withdraw from the inner court disciple examination! Nah! one of them forces all of you to participate.”

The group of outer court disciples instantly fell silent when they heard Jian Huai.

Meanwhile, Jiang Huai continued. “Although the inner court disciple's test today is to make you all enter the cage and fight the Hard Ape, but you are not required to kill the Hard Ape… ten breaths upwards while facing the Violent Ape, then you will be able to pass the inner court disciple exam and become an inner court disciple!”

Duan Ling Tian suddenly understood when Jiang Huai said this.

So it's just like this.

For a moment, both He Dong and Hu Xue Feng heaved a sigh of relief.

Asking them to kill the Hard Ape without using an external source of power was practically impossible, but if they only had to endure for ten breaths while facing the Hard Ape, it was impossible, then it won't be a difficult thing for them.

Even Zuo Qing had a steadfast expression now, and his eyes were filled with burning desire and longing.

The yearning to pass the inner court disciple examination and become an inner court disciple!

At this moment, although the other outer court disciples felt an enormous pressure, but they could only sigh in relief.

Surviving for ten breaths was much simpler than killing a Hard Ape.

“Now, the outer court disciple who wants to participate in the inner court disciple exam is standing beside me.” Jiang Huai spoke.

For a moment, all the groups of outer court disciples including Duan Ling Tian, He Dong, and Zuo Qing stood by Jiang Huai's side. No one gives up.

They came here today precisely for the inner court disciple examination, if they did not try then they would not resign.

Moreover, the inner court disciple test today was nothing more than asking them to endure for some time while facing the Violent Ape. If they are not confident, they can actually choose to escape …

“Well once.” Jiang Huai looked at the group of outer court disciples then nodded. “When the test is done in a few moments, there will be inner court disciples who will follow you all into the cage. They'll save you if you can't survive.”

Jiang Huai's words caused all the outer court disciples to be convinced in their hearts.

“Now, when the person called, get into the cage and fight with the Hard Ape.” As Jiang Huai spoke, he looked towards the outer court disciples. “You, enter the cage on the left.”

“You, go to the cage on the right.” Next, Jiang Huai chose the outer court disciple.

The two outer court disciples took a deep breath then walked towards the distant cage, then entered the cage together with the two inner court disciples.

“Aduh!”

“Auuu!”

…

The second cry of the Hard Ape caused the two outer court disciples to turn deathly pale, and their feet began to shiver.

“Being scared before a battle, they might even be able to last for three breaths.” He Dong shook his head and said to Duan Ling Tian who was beside him.

Duan Ling Tian nodded with a smile, he also thought so.

In a short period of time, the two outer court disciples were each fighting one of the two Violent Apes…

Whooshing sound!

One of the two outer court disciples flashed, seemingly turning into a gust of wind blowing towards the Hard Ape.

On it, 100 silhouettes of ancient mammoths condensed into shapes.

The seventh level Core Origin stage!

“Aduh!” The Violent Apes instantly exploded in anger when they saw the humans in front of them daring to attack them, and their powerful arms opened as they pounced.

The strength of the 120 ancient mammoths belonging to the ninth level Origin Core realm savage beast exploded completely!

Whooshing sound!

The outer court's fist disciple was shot out fiercely to hit the Hard Ape's arm, but it did not inflict any significant damage to the Hard Ape.

“Auuu!” The Hard Ape roared explosively, then swung his hand before violently smashing his hand towards the head of the outer court disciple.

If he were to be crushed directly by it, the outer court disciple would definitely die without a doubt!

The outer court disciple turned deathly pale when faced with the furious Hard Ape, and his legs looked like they were covered in lead, and he could not move in the slightest.

“No!” He exclaimed in grief when facing the Hard Ape attack, and his voice had traces of despair mixed within it.

Bang out!

Right at this moment, the inner court disciple moved, he slapped his palm to block the Hard Ape attack.

This inner court disciple was also an existence at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage.

“Aduh!” The Violent Ape roared furiously, and its huge figure trembled, about to launch an attack once more.

Whooshing sound!

The inner court disciple raised his hand and a three foot long sword appeared out of thin air.

On it, over 150 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into shapes.

Instantly, the Hard Ape stopped its enormous figure and glanced fearfully at the 150 ancient giant silhouettes, then retreated before obediently standing there.

“You lasted less than one breath, knocked out!” The inner court disciple looked at the shocked outer court disciple stiffly and said coldly.

The outer court disciple smiled bitterly, then obediently left the cage.

Previously, when dealing with the Hard Ape, he felt his heart would jump out of his chest, and he even forgot to dodge…

Inside another cage, the mental state of the outer court disciples was much better, and he had avoided the Hard Ape attack twice.

But even so, he was still unable to dodge the third attack.

Fortunately, the inner court disciple moved and stopped the Hard Ape, otherwise, he would definitely die.

“Sist for two breaths, not bad.” The inner court disciple nodded to the outer court disciple. “But, you are not qualified to pass the inner court disciple exam, eliminated!”

The outer court disciple smiled bitterly as he nodded, then left the cage.

Although this outer court disciple did not pass the examination as well, but he still received a look of admiration from the group of outer court disciples.

Being able to last for two breaths while facing the ninth level Origin Core Stage, Hard Ape, with cultivation at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage was already not bad.

Furthermore, the outer court disciples were summoned by the Test Elder, Jiang Huai, one by one.

One by one, the outer court disciples suffered from elimination miserably.

“If a seventh level Origin Core Stage martial artist does not have a brilliant movement technique when facing a Hard Ape, then it will be very difficult to last for 10 seconds.” He Dong shook his head and sighed.

“Even if it is a brilliant movement technique, it will still be useless. The difference in strength is too great, so ten breaths of time is not easy to endure.” Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed, he glanced at Zuo Qing, and a trace of bright light faintly flashed in his eyes.

“Zuo Qing.” Shortly after, Jiang Huai's gaze descended on Zuo Qing, and for the first time he called out the name of the outer court disciple.

Clearly, he knew Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing took a deep breath then walked towards the cage with large strides.

“Zuo Qing is not an expert in movement techniques, and most likely he did not pass the exam.” He Dong shook his head, and he did not expect much of Zuo Qing. “But, Zuo Qing should immediately break through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage. If he can't this time, he will definitely be able to pass the exam next time and become a court disciple in.”

“He Dong, didn't you speak too early?” Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly disapprovingly when he heard He Dong.

“What? Could it be that you think Zuo Qing was able to last for ten breaths while facing the Hard Ape?” He Dong had a face full of disbelief.

He could not see through this little freak, Duan Ling Tian, but Zuo Qing was his old rival.

He was very clear about Zuo Qing's abilities …
