n“Fine, I’ll wait until the gathering starts and then I’ll teach this trash a lesson!”

nLi Qing took a deep breath, then his eyes slightly narrowed as a cold light flashed within.

nTrash?

nThe corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth curled into a grin.

nDid this Li Qing really think he admitted defeat the other time because he was scared of him?

nIt was because Patriarch Li Ao had meddled in the other time.

nOr else, it would be impossible for him to admit defeat.

nThis time, no one could stop him!

n“Let’s go sit over there.”

nAfter sweeping Li Qing with a disgusted gaze, Li Fei seemed to be trying to avoid a fly as she pulled on Duan Ling Tian’s hand and walked into the empty pergola nearby.

nShe sat shoulder to shoulder with Duan Ling Tian.

nSeeing this scene, Li Qing’s eyes seemed on the verge of splitting open from anger.

nDuan Ling Tian.

nToday, you will certainly die!

nLi Qing gave Duan Ling Tian the death punishment in his heart.

nAs far as he was concerned, a Branch Family disciple and a disciple with another surname at that, with his honored status in the Li Clan, it wouldn’t be a problem even if he killed him.

n“Little Fei, that Li Qing seems like he wishes he was able to eat my flesh and drink my blood right now…Looks like wanting to make you my wife carries with it a threat to my life…”

nAlthough they were fairly far from each other, Duan Ling Tian could still detect Li Qing’s killing intent.

n“You’re scared?”

nLi Fei playfully blinked her eyes.

n“Scared?”

nDuan Ling Tian indifferently smiled.

nAs the former strongest weapons specialist on Earth, he really didn’t know what ‘scared’ meant.

nDuan Ling Tian and Li Fei had actually arrived relatively early to the genius gathering that was hosted by the Xiao Clan.

nAs time passed by, more and more people arrived.

nAmong these people were two Li Clan members.

nLi An, Li Zhong.

nBesides the Li Clan duo, Duan Ling Tian recognized one more person.

nLin Qi!

nSeeing Lin Qi once more, Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but be slightly startled, because he noticed that Lin Qi’s disposition had changed.

nAfter inheriting the memories of Rebirth Martial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian saw things in a unique way.

nWith merely a glance, he noticed that Lin Qi had already stepped into the Core Formation Stage.

nLin Qi walked over shoulder to shoulder with another youth.

nThis youth was around the age of eighteen and had a slight similarity to Lin Qi between his brows.

nRecalling something he had heard from before, Duan Ling Tian vaguely guessed the identity of this person.

nLin Zhuo, Lin Qi’s elder brother.

nThe top disciple in the Lin Clan’s younger generation.

nWhen Duan Ling Tian looked at Lin Qi, Lin Qi also looked towards Duan Ling Tian. He said something to the youth beside him before the two of them walked over quickly.

nThis scene also fell into the eyes of the youth genius present in the Star Observation Platform.

n“Duan Ling Tian!”

nLin Qi greeted Duan Ling Tian.

n“Long time no see.”

nDuan Ling Tian lightly nodded.

n“This is my elder brother, Lin Zhou… Elder brother, he is Duan Ling Tian.”

nLin Qi introduced Lin Zhuo to Duan Ling Tian and vice versa.

n“Duan Ling Tian, I have long since heard my little brother mention you. Relying merely on your eighth level Body Tempering cultivation to defeat him who was at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage at the time was truly shocking!”

nLin Zhuo lightly smiled to Duan Ling Tian.

n“I too have long since heard of your name, the Lin Clan’s number one of the younger generation. Nice to meet you.”

nDuan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

n“Duan Ling Tian, I heard that during the Li Clan Martial Meet, you could exert the strength of three ancient mammoths even though your cultivation is only at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage…Is this true?”

nLin Qi’s eyes flickered as he gazed fixedly into Duan Ling Tian’s eyes.

nIt was as if he was trying to see something thru Duan Ling Tian’s eyes.

nBut he was bound to be disappointed.

nDuan Ling Tian only smiled mysteriously. From start to finish, his eyes were tranquil, without any changes.

n“Little Qi, whether it is true or not, you will find out once the gathering begins. You’re still worried you won’t be able to see it?”

nCompared to Lin Qi, Lin Zhuo was much calmer.

nThe two brothers took their leave a short while after and walked to another empty pergola.

n“This Duan Ling Tian seems to really be not so simple. Could it be that the rumors were true?”

n“Even Lin Zhuo took the initiative to greet him, so his reputation is great.”

n“Yeah, Lin Zhuo didn’t even pay attention to the Li Clan’s champion of the younger generation; he directly went to greet Duan Ling Tian.”

n“Wasn’t Lin Zhuo’s little brother, Lin Qi, defeated by Duan Ling Tian? Why wasn’t there any hostility between them when they met?”

n“You don’t even understand this? The proverb is correct: a friendship grows from the exchange of blows. Maybe they are already friends.”

n“You have a point.”

n……

nThe young geniuses from Aurora City’s clans started whispering in discussion.

n“Humph!”

nWhen Li Qing heard all this, his face became even gloomier.

n“Li Qing, this is you best opportunity to cripple that Duan Ling Tian.”

nUnknowingly when, Li An arrived beside Li Qing and instigated.

n“It isn’t your place to make remarks on how I do things, f**k off!”

nLi Qing’s gaze turned cold and his voice was icy.

nLi An’s face froze.

nHe took in a deep breath before turning around and leaving.

nLi An’s face was extremely ugly. As one of the outstanding Li Clan younger generation disciples, he had his pride.

nEver since he started cultivating, among the Li Clan’s younger generation, Li Qing suppressed him at every moment.

nHe had long since been unsatisfied with Li Qing.

nNow, Li Qing shaming him in such a way caused a killing intent to uncontrollably rise in his heart.

n“Hmm?”

nDuan Ling Tian’s sensitive senses noticed a killing intent.

nWhen he raised his head and looked over.

n“Li An?”

nDuan Ling Tian saw Li An leaving from where Li Qing sat.

nThe killing intent came from Li An and was pointed at Li Qing.

n“This Li An isn’t simple.”

nVigilance arose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart.

nAlthough in terms of strength Li Qing was stronger than Li An, in terms of the level of danger, it would be impossible for Li Qing to reach Li An’s level.

nFor example, if Li Qing was a wild wolf, then Li Ain would be the poisonous snake that was hiding in the dark…

nThe latter was much more terrifying than the former.

nSuddenly, there was a stir in the Star Observation Platform.

n“Xiao Lan is here!”

n“Equally famous as Li Fei and Lin Yu Huan, she is one of the three great beauties of Aurora City. Her reputation is well deserved!”

n……

nThe sounds of exclamations rose and fell.

nThe burning gazes of the youths descended on the young girl who was walking over from afar.

nThe young girl had a head of soft and smooth long hair; it was like a pouring waterfall flying about with the wind.

nHer drop dead gorgeous face seemed to have gone through the care and precision of a sculptor.

nUnder the hazy morning mist, the young girl seemed to transform into a fairy that came down from heaven.

n“Hmm?”

nDuan Ling Tian’s gaze was also drawn by the young girl who was walking over from afar.

nXiao Lan?

nHe had heard of this name.

nOne of the three great beauties of Aurora City, equally famous to Li Fei.

nIn the beginning, he didn’t quite believe it.

nIn his opinion, no matter whether it was Ke Er or Li Fei, they were both rare drop dead gorgeous beauties.

nOther women couldn’t possibly compare with them.

nBut seeing Xiao Lan today, Duan Ling Tian realized his mistake.

nThis Xiao Lan’s looks were indeed not one bit inferior to Li Fei’s.

nXiao Lan seemed to be around the age of eighteen. Her actions were elegant and her smile was like a flower. Every smile or frown emitted an exalted and refined charm.

nIf Li Fei was a red rose, charming like fire.

nThen Xiao Lan would be pure like a snow lotus.

nAlthough their appearances were on par, their dispositions were completely different, being two complete opposites.

nWhat a excellent girl of respectable descent!

nDuan Ling Tian secretly praised her in his heart.

n“Ah!”

nSuddenly, Duan Ling Tian felt a jolt of pain from his thigh, and he was unable to stop himself from shouting out.

nOnly now did he realize that Li Fei was angrily staring at him and had extended her hand to mercilessly pinch his thigh.

n“Didn’t you say that other women are not worthy?”

nLi Fei was slightly vexed.

n“My good Fei, everyone loves a beauty. Hurry and take away your hand, I wont look anymore.”

nDuan Ling Tian smiled bitterly.

nBut in his heart, however, he was busting with joy.

nLi Fei’s attitude undoubtedly indicated that she was jealous, in other words, although she wasn’t willing to admit it, in her heart she had already tacitly approved of him being her man.

nOtherwise, why would she be jealous?

nAfter freely moving about the flower bushes in his previous life, Duan Ling Tian was extremely familiar with the thoughts of women.

n“Humph!”

nLi Fei grunted resentfully. Only then did she let go.

nDuan Ling Tian’s gaze descended upon the young girl beside Xiao Lan.

nCompared to Xiao Lan, the young girl was outshone.

nIt wasn’t that she was ugly.

nIn terms of appearance, she was absolutely on par with Li Shi Shi.

nBut compared to Xiao Lan, she was quite inferior.

nDuan Ling Tian watched Xiao Lan and the young girl enter the innermost pergola.

nAt this time, Xiao Yu greeted them.

nHe extended his hand and held Xiao Lan’s hand, bringing her into the pergola.

n“So it turned out that she was Xiao Yu’s woman…But these guys still dared to look at her unrestrainedly. Aren’t they afraid that Xiao Yu will come for them later?’

nDuan Ling Tian noticed that most of the youths still had their gazes fixed upon Xiao Lan.

n“Only you have such complicated thoughts. Xiao Yu and Xiao Lan are siblings, twins.”

nLi Fei gave Duan Ling Tian a disdainful glance.

nTwins?

nFor an unknown reason, after hearing what Li Fei said, Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

n“The young girl beside Xiao Lan seems to be not so simple…”

nDuan Ling Tian’s gaze descended on the young girl beside Xiao Lan.

nHe was sure that this young girl that was around the age of seventeen was not a Body Tempering martial artist but had already stepped into the Core Formation Stage.

n“Of course. She is the Xiao Clan’s Patriarch’s daughter, Xiao Yun, the former top disciple of the Xiao Clan’s outer court. Equally famous to our Li Clan’s Li Kuang and the Lin Clan’s Lin Qi,” Li Fei said.

nDuan Ling Tian felt enlightened.

nHe finally recalled.

nWhen he fought Lin Qi that day, Lin Qi had mentioned Xiao Yun.

nAfter a short while longer, everyone had finally arrived.

nAt this time, as the host, Xiao Yu walked out and arrived at the center of the Star Observation Platform.

n“Everyone, before the gathering starts, I have a good news to tell everyone… This year, our Aurora City’s three great clans have produced many good things as prizes for the young geniuses that will be ranked in this year’s Hidden Dragon List,” Xiao Yu slowly said.

nOn the Star Observation Platform, the sounds of hurried breathing could be heard.

nEspecially the youths that weren’t from the three great clans, all of their eyes shone and they became slightly decomposed.

nSeeing this, Duan Ling Tian was able to understand their feelings.

nThe three great clans of Aurora City practically monopolized all forms business.

nMeaning the other small clans could only pick up the scraps.

nTo the young geniuses of these small clans, the prizes that were obtained from being ranked in the Hidden Dragon List were prizes that even if their clans spared no efforts to obtain, they would be incapable of getting their hands on it.

n“Young Master Yu, what prizes are there? Tell us.”

n“Yeah, Young Master Yu, we want to know.”

n……

nThe young geniuses from the small clans asked one after the other.

n“Humph! A bunch of bumpkins.”

nLi Qing, who was standing alone at a corner, had a disdainful smile on the corners of his mouth.

n
