Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
Finally, the gaze of the Test Elder, Jiang Huai, flashed passed all the outer court disciples that hadn’t participated in the inner court disciple test yet.
The face of the inner court disciples went ghastly pale everywhere Jiang Huai’s gaze swept pass.
Jiang Huai frowned, then in the end his gaze descended onto Duan Ling Tian, He Dong, and Hu Xue Feng. "Duan Ling Tian, He Dong, Hu Xue Feng… Who among the three of you are going first?"
Duan Ling Tian shrugged and had an indifferent expression.
He Dong was slightly burning with eagerness to try.
"Me!" But, their actions weren’t as fast as Hu Xue Feng.
Hu Xue Feng stood out, as if wanting to use his actions to once again win the honor he had lost earlier.
At the same time that Hu Xue Feng volunteering causing the group of outer court disciples to be shocked, it did indeed make many people feel admiration.
"Even though Hu Xue Feng is inferior to Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian, but he still has some ability."
"Yeah, he dared to volunteer himself when faced with that Violent Ape gone mad… He’s worthy of being the Personal Disciple of the Merak Peak’s Peak Master."
…
There was a change in the view of some of the outer court disciples towards Hu Xue Feng.
A trace of complacency that was difficult to notice appeared on the corners of Hu Xue Feng’s mouth when he heard similar discussions.
Meanwhile, a few outer court disciples had been successively changed in the other cage.
None of them passed the test!
Now, besides Duan Ling Tian, Zuo Qing, and He Dong, the gazes of everyone else descended onto the figure of Hu Xue Feng who walked swiftly towards the Violent Ape that had gone mad.
Hu Xue Feng was about to battle the Violent Ape that had gone mad.
They anticipated it extremely.
Meanwhile, Zuo Qing had returned to Duan Ling Tian’s side, and she condensed her Origin Energy into sound. "Duan Ling Tian, thank you."
Duan Ling Tian shrugged, then replied by condensed Origin Energy. "Senior Sister Zuo Qing, you’re the senior sister of Little Fei, so you’re also my senior sister… We’re family, so there’s no need to be polite."
Family?
A brilliant smile appeared on Zuo Qing’s beautiful face when she heard Duan Ling Tian, and she nodded.
"Zuo Qing, how did you do it?" He Dong had an expressions of disbelief and bewilderment as he stared at Zuo Qing, as Zuo Qing’s actions earlier caused him to be shocked.
During the ten breaths of time that Zuo Qing confronted the Violent Ape, it was simply like play that had been rehearsed countless times between Zuo Qing and the Violent Ape.
But, this play was acted to an extremely realistic and dangerous degree.
"You should ask Duan Ling Tian about this." Zuo Qing only gaze He Dong a single sentence before her gaze descended onto Hu Xue Feng who had walked into the cage to face the Violent Ape that had gone mad, and the smile on her face was casted off to be replaced by gloominess.
Duan Ling Tian?
He Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian when he heard Zuo Qing, and he couldn’t help but tremble in his heart.
No wonder Duan Ling Tian was so confident of Zuo Qing earlier.
So it turned out that he knew very well in his heart.
Even to the extent that Duan Ling Tian’s contribution seemed to not be small in allowing Zuo Qing to pass the inner court disciple test…
"Duan Ling Tian, how did you do it?" He Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked in a light voice, his tone contained slight astonishment mixed within.
To him, this was simple too unbelievable.
Duan Ling Tian’s brows knit then slowly said. "Actually it’s extremely simple, you only need to know the habits of a Violent Ape…"
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian roughly explained to He Dong.
All this was him speaking from the lifetime worth of experience that came from the Rebirth Martial Emperor.
He Dong seemed to be intoxicated as he listened.
"But, this Violent Ape has been deceived once, and won’t be deceived again… If you want to do this, you can only do it to the other Violent Ape." After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he smiled.
"Duan Ling Tian, you actually know so many things I have never heard of before. Now, I’m really curious, how many more secrets are contained within your head?"
He Dong was currently admired Duan Ling Tian from the bottom of his heart, and was completely won over by Duan Ling Tian.
His gaze descended onto the other Violent Ape. "I hope the Test Elder will call my name and ask me to deal with this Violent Ape… So I’ll be able to try the theory you taught me."
"Roar!" Meanwhile, Hu Xue Feng had already started a fierce battle with that Violent Ape that had gone mad.
Rather than calling it a fierce battle, it’s better call it Hu Xue Feng fighting as he dodged…
As a eighth level Origin Core Stage martial artist, even though Hu Xue Feng was unable to use the grade seven spirit sword in his possession, but his strength was not to be trifled with. Time after time, he barely dodged the Violent Ape’s attacks.
Of course, Hu Xue Feng didn’t have an easy time either and was in an extremely sorry state.
"He Dong!" The Test Elder called out He Dong’s name to enter the other cage and battle the other Violent Ape.
"My luck isn’t bad." He Dong smiled then walked in swiftly.
In next to no time, everyone was able to discern that the methods He Dong used to deal with the Violent Ape were exactly like Zuo Qing…
"Senior Brother He Dong has broken through as well?" The group of outer court disciples were stunned when they saw the 110 ancient mammoth silhouettes that condensed into form above He Dong.
Even the Test Elder Jiang Huai had a trace of surprise on his face.
He Dong relied on his cultivation at the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage to dupe the Violent Ape more easily than Zuo Qing.
In the eyes of the others, He Dong was as if he was playing.
Easily persisting for the time of five breaths.
Meanwhile, in the other cage.
The time of ten breaths had passed.
Hu Xue Feng had passed the inner court disciple test!
However, Hu Xue Feng was currently dusty and dirty in appearance, and completely didn’t have his earlier handsome appearance.
Right when complacency arose on Hu Xue Feng’s face and was waiting for the others to cheer, he instead noticed that no one was looking at him now, and the gazes of everyone had descended onto the other cage.
As if there was an even more brilliant scene there.
Hu Xue Feng frowned and looked over.
A single glance caused his pupils to constrict and his face sank.
Within the cage, He Dong’s figure was graceful as he easily dodged the Violent Ape’s attack, and until ten breaths later and he’s passed the inner court disciple test, the Violent Ape didn’t even touch the corners of He Dong’s clothes.
"Ao!"
"Aowu!"
…
Along with He Dong passing the test and at the same time that the group of outer court disciples cheered for him, the Violent Ape’s within the cage were already starting to go berserk as they were completely enraged.
"He Dong and Hu Xue Feng have passed the test." The Test Elder Jiang Huai slowly spoke.
"The two eighth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples passed the inner court disciple test as expected." An outer court disciple couldn’t help but sigh.
"An eighth level Origin Core Stage martial artist has shocking strength, and it isn’t strange for them to pass the test… But, even though they’ve passed the test, but who’s superior and whose inferior is instead able to be seen through with a glance."
"That’s true. Even though Senior Brother Hu Xue Feng passed the test, but he was in a sorry state. Whereas Senior Brother He Dong completely didn’t seem like he was someone who had battled the Violent Ape."
…
He Dong and Hu Xue Feng stood there and formed a clear contrast.
Hu Xue Feng’s face sank and he fiercely glared at He Dong. Now he hated He Dong as well.
As far as he was concerned, if it wasn’t for He Dong who had stolen all his limelight. Now, he would surely be the absolute center of attention of this scene….
He hated!
Within the two cages, the two Violent Apes were incomparably restless as they ceaselessly thumped their chests, and their crimson red eyes that were large as gongs causing one so be terrified.
The few outer court disciples who hadn’t participated in the inner court disciple test yet, all had pale faces when they saw the gaze of the Test Elder, Jiang Huai, sweep over.
"I give up!"
"I give up as well!"
…
In the end, they chose to give up.
Earlier, they’d clearly seen the ability of the Violent Ape that had gone mad.
Even the eighth level Origin Core Stage, Hu Xue Feng, was in such a sorry state. If it was them, then perhaps they wouldn’t even be able to persist for the time of one breath.
They knew their own limitations.
For a moment, only Duan Ling Tian remained as the person on the scene that still hadn’t participated in the inner court disciple test.
Everyone’s gazes descended onto Duan Ling Tian, awaiting Duan Ling Tian’s performance.
Duan Ling Tian.
The young man that had just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect seven months ago.
In the short 7 months’ time, he’d already spread his name across the entire Seven Star Sword Sect and become the publically acknowledged number one genius in the Seven Star Sword Sect…
The number one genius since the sect was established!
The halo above Duan Ling Tian’s head now was dazzling and resplendent.
An eighth level Origin Core Stage martial artist that’s a little over 20!
Not to mention the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, even in the Darkstone Empire or even in the Darkhan Dynasty, such natural talent was still a top-notch existence.
"Duan Ling Tian." The gaze of Test Elder, Jiang Huai, descended onto Duan Ling Tian, and he lightly smiled. "Which of the two Violent Apes will you choose?"
Now, the two Violent Apes within the two cages were as if they had gone mad and were completely berserk.
Of course, there was a difference in how berserk the two Violent Apes were.
The Violent Ape He Dong face earlier will still alright as it had only just been enraged, and now that some time had passed, it’s mood had eased up quite a bit.
However, the Violent Ape that Hu Xue Feng faced was even more furious and enraged to the limit as compared to after Zuo Qing battled it…
After successively being made fun of by people whose strength were inferior to it, at this moment, this Violent Ape seemed to have transformed into a Mad Ape!
Now, even if an ordinary ninth level Origin Core Stage fierce beast appeared before it, the fierce beast might be directly torn into pieces by it.
"I wonder which Violent Ape Duan Ling Tian will choose." An outer court disciple was slightly curious.
His curiosity brought about the curiosity of the group of outer court disciples as well.
"I think he will probably choose the Violent Ape that He Dong face earlier. After all, the rage of that Violent Ape seems to have cooled down quite a bit now."
"I think so too."
"The Violent Ape Hu Xue Feng face was already enraged by Zuo Qing, and its rage hadn’t dispersed when it was enraged by Hu Xue Feng again… Now, the strength of this Violent Ape under its rage would have probably already reached an extent that’s difficult to imagine!"
"Its strength now is absolutely at the limit of strength of a ninth level Origin Core Stage fierce beast!"
…
Right when everyone’s gazes had descended onto Duan Ling Tian and were curious how Duan Ling Tian would choose.
Hu Xue Feng’s icy cold gaze followed to descend onto Duan Ling Tian, and he sneered. "Duan Ling Tian, you should choose the Violent Ape that He Dong faced earlier… Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be unable to pass the inner court disciple test."
Dense ridicule was mixed within Hu Xue Feng’s sneer.
"Pfft!" Duan Ling Tian never imagined that Hu Xue Feng still dared to provoke him at this time, and he couldn’t help but laugh in ridicule. "Hu Xue Feng, when you dare ascend the life and death arena to battle me when my strength is suppressed at the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage, then talk."
