Chapter 307: Profound Origin Fruit
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
"Pu**y!" When Shi Hao shouted out, he was slightly agitated in his heart.
Even though he didn’t know Duan Ling Tian, nor had he met Duan Ling Tian before, but he had an impression of everyone in the group of seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples that had ascended the combat ring now, and he was sure that Duan Ling Tian absolutely wasn’t there!
In other words, his main objective today, Duan Ling Tian, didn’t come up.
It was very likely that because of being afraid of death, Duan Ling Tian had given up.
And this wasn’t something he wanted to see.
Along with Shi Hao’s cold shout, the entire Mizar Peak went silent.
The group of Megrez Peak disciples that had come to spectate couldn’t help but shoot their gazes to gather onto the faraway Duan Ling Tian…
In next to no time, the remaining Seven Star Sword Sect disciples followed the group of Megrez Peak disciples to look at Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian frowned.
He was just intending to ascend the combat arena when he heard Shi Hao crying out.
Now, when he realized that along with Shi Hao crying ‘Pu**y,’ he’d become the center of attention of everyone, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl into a cold smile.
"He is Duan Ling Tian?" Some of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples that hadn’t seen Duan Ling Tian before, glanced at Duan Ling Tian in surprise, as they felt that Duan Ling Tian was even younger than the rumors.
It was precisely this person that killed the sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple of Phecda peak?
Unbelievable!
"Even though Duan Ling Tian’s strength wasn’t bad, but the outer court martial competition today was undoubtedly a competition between seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples… Even if he really participated, he could only be a sideshow, and even might be killed."
"Exactly. I think that giving up is his best choice."
"He’s only a little over 20, it isn’t a loss of face even if he gives up when facing a group of seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples."
…
The crowd of Seven Star Sword outer court disciples whispered amongst themselves in discussion.
Right at this moment, the Mizar Peak’s Peak Master spoke once again. "The disciples who are placed in the top 10 of today’s outer court martial competition are all able to obtain prizes bestowed by the sect… The person who obtains the first place will even be able to obtain an extra Profound Origin Fruit [1]."
Profound Origin Fruit?
A single stone brought about a thousand ripples!
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
…
Sounds of people letting out breaths of cold air rose and fell on the Mizar Platform.
What was Profound Origin Fruit?
Even if the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples present hadn’t seen it, they’d heard of it.
To Origin Core Stage martial artist, the Profound Origin Fruit was a spirit fruit that could be encountered by chance but not be sought for.
Allegedly, even if an eighth level Origin Core Stage martial artist consumed this Profound Origin Fruit, the martial artist would be able to directly break through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage!
Even if a ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist consumed it, the martial artist’s Origin Energy would increase to the last bottleneck, and be infinitely close to the verge of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Profound Origin Fruit, it’s actually the Profound Origin Fruit!"
"To an Origin Core Stage martial artist, the Profound Origin Fruit is virtually a priceless treasure! And can be encountered by chance but not be sought for."
"Once a seventh level Origin Core Stage martial artist consumes the Profound Origin Fruit, his cultivation would surely be able to break through to the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage in one go… Even to the extent it’s very likely for him to come close to the bottleneck to break through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage."
…
The crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect disciple on Mizar Platform were completely stirred.
Including Shi Hao, all the 28 seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples that stood beside Zheng Fan on the combat arena had gazes that shone, as they were filled with yearning towards the Profound Origin Fruit.
"Profound Origin Fruit, I’m determined to obtain it!" Hu Xue Feng’s handsome face was covered in a layer of icy coldness. "No matter who it is, if they dare obstruct me from ascending to the first place… KILL!"
Hu Xue Feng’s words were filled with confidence and arrogance.
"Hmph! That will depend on if you have the ability." Shi Hao grunted coldly.
He was similarly determined to obtain the Profound Origin Fruit!
He Dong and Zuo Qing glanced at each other in the eye, and their gazes clashed into fierce sparks…
The Profound Origin Fruit caused everyone to be filled with desire.
"I never imagined that the Seven Star Sword Sect actually obtained a Profound Origin Fruit, and even brought it out to be the prize for the first place of the outer court martial competition this time…" Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised.
He was naturally clear of how valuable the Profound Origin Fruit was.
If it was said that before this, he wanted to seize the first place in the outer court martial competition this time for the sake of the pledge he made to Hu Li; then now, he had another objective.
He wanted to obtain the Profound Origin Fruit!
"If I can obtain the Profound Origin Fruit… My cultivation can directly break through!" Duan Ling Tian’s eyes emitted burning flames that seemed as if able to burn everything, and was peerlessly domineering.
Li Fei perceived Duan Ling Tian’s yearning, and said in a light voice. "Scoundrel, the outer court martial competition prohibits the usage of source of external strength besides spirit weapon, your inscriptions can’t be used… If you’re not a match for your opponent, then you must leap of the combat arena and admit defeat. Ke Er and I can’t lose you." As she finished speaking, Li Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian anxiously.
Even though she knew that Duan Ling Tian had many sources of reliance in his possession, like the two Nascent Soul Stage little pythons, and the pile of formidable inscriptions, however, none of these could be used during the outer court martial competition.
He could only rely on his own strength!
Duan Ling Tian stretched his hand out to stroke Li Fei’s beautiful face that was smooth as jade, then smiled as he said in a light voice. "Little Fei, you have to be confident of your man. If you dare doubt me again, then be careful or I’ll slap your butt."
As he finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian suppressed his voice until only Li Fei could hear it.
Li Fei never expected that Duan Ling Tian would actually tease her during an occasion like this, and her beautiful face blushed, as if blood would drip out of it.
"Hmph!" On the combat ring, Hu Xue Feng looked from afar at Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei, especially when Li Fei revealed such a charming and shy appearance before Duan Ling Tian, a ball of flames of envy inexplicably lit ablaze in his heart.
He’d always been unhappy if he was without a woman, and his eyesight was extremely high.
This woman was absolutely the most beautiful female disciple he’d seen since arriving at the Seven Star Sword Sect.
When he saw her for the first time, he’d wanted to make this woman into his exclusive woman.
But later on he instead noticed that this woman already belonged to someone.
Duan Ling Tian!
"So long as I kill Duan Ling Tian, you… will be mine!" Hu Xue Feng looked at Li Fei, and his eyes flickered with a sheen of greed, as if Li Fei has already become his.
"Duan Ling Tian!" Hu Xue Feng’s gaze focused and descended onto Duan Ling Tian, then he suddenly shouted in a low voice. "I heard that you’d once killed the Phecda Peak’s sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple, Shao Ying, three months ago. According to my knowledge, Shao Ying was only a step away from the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage… I presume that since you’re able to kill him, your strength isn’t inferior to us seventh level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples!
"Now that three months have passed, your strength is surely even stronger. You wouldn’t really want to give up, right?" As Hu Xue Feng finished speaking, his voice had a sense of ridicule.
"Hu Xue Feng, whether Duan Ling Tian gives up or not is his own personal choice, and has nothing to do with you." How could Zuo Qing who stood nearby not know what Hu Xue Feng was intending when she heard him, and her face was once again enveloped in a layer of ice as she sneered.
Hu Xue Feng didn’t reply to Zuo Qing, and instead looked at the nearby Duan Ling Tian. "Haha… Duan Ling Tian. Could it be that you only know how to hide behind a woman, and rely on a woman’s protection? If it’s really like this, you’re really the shame of us men!"
The shame of men!
What Hu Xue Feng said could be called ruthless.
"Duan Ling Tian, looks like the people you’ve offended are rather many…" A wisp of bloodthirsty coldness appeared on the corners of Shi Hao’s mouth, waiting for a chance to swallow Duan Ling Tian up.
Along with Hu Xue Feng finishing, Duan Ling Tian once again became the center of attention.
This time, it was different.
Earlier, even though Shi Hao had provoked Duan Ling Tian, but the people present didn’t think that Duan Ling Tian giving up was inappropriate.
And no one would look down on Duan Ling Tian.
After all, Duan Ling Tian’s natural talent was there for all to see, he would surely be able to yield unusually brilliant results in the future, and become genius disciple that played a decisive role in the Seven Star Sword Sect.
But now, Hu Xue Feng had instead put a ‘hat’ on Duan Ling Tian.
If Duan Ling Tian gave up, he would undoubtedly be admitting that he only knew how to hide behind women, and rely on the protection of women…
Losing the dignity of a man!
Everyone was curious, how would Duan Ling Tian choose under such circumstances.
A trace of rage arose in Li Fei’s beautiful eyes when she heard Hu Xue Feng, and was about to flare.
Duan Ling Tian’s pinched Li Fei’s palm, and lightly smiled. "Little Fei, no matter where it is in this world, there’s never been a lack of mad dogs… You don’t have to lower yourself to the same level as it."
Although Duan Ling Tian’s voice wasn’t loud, but the Mizar Platform was deathly silent now, thus his words entered into the ears of everyone present.
Mad dog?
The corners of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples couldn’t help but twitch.
This Duan Ling Tian actually insulted Hu Xue Feng as a mad dog?
They felt their scalps go numb.
This Duan Ling Tian was insane!
"Duan Ling Tian is dead for sure!" This was the thought in the hearts of most of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples.
For a moment, Hu Xue Feng replace Duan Ling Tian to become the center of attention of everyone.
Hu Xue Feng’s body fiercely shook, his incomparably handsome face lightly trembled, and his pair of eyes revealed dense killing intent, but it was quickly suppressed by him. Then he once again looked at Duan Ling Tian.
"I really don’t know. A piece of trash that obtained the qualification to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition, but doesn’t dare to participate — Where does this arrogance come from!?" Hu Xue Feng’s voice was incomparably chilly, and he said the word ‘trash’ especially prominently.
Hu Xue Feng’s words resonated with many people.
These people were mostly Alkaid Peak female disciples that were delusional towards Hu Xue Feng. "Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng is correct, a person that doesn’t even have the courage to participate in the outer court martial competition doesn’t have the qualifications to be arrogant!"
"Exactly, Duan Ling Tian, if you’re a man, then ascend the combat ring and participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition."
"If you don’t dare, then you’re the ‘Pu**y’ that Senior Brother Shi Hao spoke of, and the ‘trash’ that only knows how to rely on women like Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng said!"
…
Seeing the scene being controlled by him, Hu Xue Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian, his eyes slowly narrowed into a line, and the corners of his mouth had a complacent sneer.
As if he was saying to Duan Ling Tian. ‘Kid, you’re too inexperienced to fight me.’
"Haha…" Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but laugh, his eyes flashed with an awe-inspiring bright light as he glanced at Hu Xue Feng, then his gaze descended onto Shi Hao before he slowly said. "When did I, Duan Ling Tian, say that I wanted to give up? If memory serves me correctly, presently, Peak Master Zheng Fan seems to have not stopped other outer court disciples from choosing whether to participate in the second round of the outer court martial competition, right?"
