War God Supreme

Chapter 28

Sensing Duanmu Qing’s gaze, Li Lingtian’s lips curled into a smile. He did not care for Duanmu Qing’s feelings. He had always taken Duanmu Qing lightly but now that he had discovered Duanmu Qing’s possession of Star Radiant Body, Li Lingtian was brewing with killing intent.

Since this person could not be subdued, he must be killed because they were natural enemies. Moreover, the fact that Duanmu Qing’s elders had used Tang Zimeng as a pawn left him fuming with murderous intent.

“Duanmu Qing wins.”

Long Tian said in a piercing voice, announcing Duanmu Qing’s victory. With two challenges over, there should be another two more rounds before the Grand Tournament comes to an end.

“Is there anyone else who wants to challenge?”

Long Tian’s eyes fixated on Lan Yuyan. Out of the top five, she was the only one who was neither challenged nor initiated a challenge so naturally, his attention was on her.

Needless to say, there should be a major battle between Duanmu Qing and Dongfang Qingyu but the chances were looking slim for Dongfang Qingyu. Star Radiant Body was beyond anyone’s expectations.

“Senior Brother Dongfang, will the first place be between us?”

Duanmu Qing’s piercing eyes turned away from Li Lingtian before it darted towards Lan Yuyan then to Dongfang Qingyu. Only Dongfang Qingyu’s cultivation was at a level worthy enough for them both to fight for the championship.

“Humph.”

With a stiffened face, Lan Yuyan coldly snorted. Although her ability did not match Dongfang Qingyu’s and Duanmu Qing’s, she was displeased to be completely ignored by Duanmu Qing.

“Haha, I know myself well enough to know that I won’t be able to defeat Junior Brother Duanmu with your Star Radiant Body and destructive force. I forego the battle for first place.”

Taken aback by Dongfang Qingyu’s words, the disciples in the square looked at Duanmu Qing in shock. For Dongfang Qingyu, a Super-Genius to voluntarily admit defeat, Duanmu Qing’s popularity and fame suddenly rose to great heights.

The few Warrior Kings were dumbstruck but they quickly wrapped their heads around it. The Star Radiant Body was so powerful, it could lead to fatal destruction. There was no one else like Xiao Tianba who had cultivated the Invincible Golden Body Technique.

“Senior Brother Duanmu.”

“Senior Brother Duanmu is placed first.”

“The mighty Senior Brother Duanmu.”

“Senior Brother Duanmu is Sky Cloud Sect’s number one.”

Countless disciples broke out in cheers. In this dog-eat-dog world, the people in it were realistic and hailed only the strongest. It was a foregone conclusion that Duanmu Qing hailed first place, hence they cheered for the strong.

“The Star Radiant Body must be crushed today.” Li Lingtian took a glance at Tang Zimeng before he revealed a broad grin. It would be harder to kill Duanmu Qing in the future if not now. It was now or never.

“Brother Lingtian, Mengmeng doesn’t want you to risk your life.” Tang Zimeng looked into Li Lingtian’s eyes as she spoke.

She was aware of Li Lingtian’s intention to fight Duanmu Qing but Duanmu Qing’s ability spoke for itself. However great Li Lingtian was, he was only a Warrior. Moreover, Duanmu Qing possessed a Star Radiant Body.

Worried sick, she could think of nothing but to stop Li Lingtian. Li Lingtian was not useless and as long as they were left alone, both of them could live an ordinarily uneventful life.

“Now, I shall announce that the first place belongs to Duanmu Qing, second place — Dongfang Qingyu, third place — Lan Yuyan, fourth place — Xiao Tianba, and fifth place — Murong Tianjiao.

“Are there any other disciples who wish to throw down the gauntlet?”

Seeing that there were no more disciples up for the challenge, Long Tian declared out loud. The last question was thrown towards the disciples in the third stage, but everyone knew well that Warriors could not compare to Warrior Spirits.

All the disciples erupted in cheers. No one could move Duanmu Qing from first place. Sky Cloud Sect would only grow stronger with Star Radiant Body.

“Me.”

A faint voice rang out in disharmony. Amid the cheers, the soft yet clear voice made its way into everyone’s ears.

Turning their gaze to the source of the voice, they saw a smiling young man in white trod towards the arena, carrying a rather aloof demeanor.

Tang Zimeng, Xue Da, and the rest of the gang followed close behind anxiously. It was impossible for anyone to stop Li Lingtian from carrying out his heart’s desire.

Xue Da and the other two had placed their blind trust in Li Lingtian, but their beliefs were shaken at the face of a Tier Six Warrior Spirit with a Star Radiant Body.

“Haha, haha.”

“Is he out of his mind?”

“He didn’t even bother to compete for the top ten in the third stage, what makes him think he can challenge a Warrior Spirit Powerhouse? What a joke.”

“Has he gone mad trying to be famous?”

“Isn’t he the peripheral trash? Don’t embarrass yourself here.”

The thousands of disciples in the square burst into laughter. Not only had the peripheral trash made it to the third stage’s top ten, but he was now trying to challenge a Warrior Spirit disciple in the inner sect.

Above the platform, dozens of piercing eyes swarmed over Li Lingtian. They looked at Li Lingtian astonishingly, with ever-changing expressions as though he was some alien.

This disciple must have lost his mind. If not, why would he stir trouble with a Warrior Spirit? It was a gateway straight to hell.

“I get it. Old Duanmu and Old Tang are trying to form a partnership through marriage but that little girl and this young man had been engaged since they were young. Hehe, what’s love for youngsters?”

“So he’s risking it for the goddess.”

“Sigh, I’d be willing to die if someone treats me this way.”

“…”

Countless female disciples immediately saw the connection upon witnessing Li Lingtian’s suicidal move to challenge the top hundred spot and with Tang Zimeng right beside him.

Li Lingtian may only be fifteen years old but he had a built of an adult. His indifferent attitude and faint smile gave out a carefree vibe that naturally won over a lot of women’s hearts.

“Who do you want to challenge? The hundredth place?”

With a smile on his face, Long Tian asked Li Lingtian aloud as Li Lingtian moved near the arena without stepping foot into it. He admired Li Lingtian’s guts.

“Senior Brother Duanmu Qing’s Star Radiant Body is fascinating. I wish to see more of it.”

Li Lingtian asserted as he bowed to Long Tian and the judges above the platform. His gaze then turned to the arena that was now within his reach. Duanmu Qing stood at ease on the shattered arena in a charming manner.

Huh!

Woah!

The disciples burst into an uproar before falling into a state of shock. Oh, the words that came out from his mouth! He wanted to challenge first place, Duanmu Qing.

Curious, the judges and Warrior Kings on the platform stood up to examine Li Lingtian. After concluding that this disciple had not lost his mind, they were at a loss by his action instead.

“Am I spinning or is the world spinning?”

“The world has gone mad.”

“Oh my days, I can’t take it.”

“Wanting to challenge Senior Brother Duanmu who’s in first place, is he bored of life or joking?”

The disciples went numb as they no longer understood this world. Here was a mad youth who dared to challenge Duanmu Qing for the sake of the goddess.

Duanmu Qing too was baffled for a moment but his mood quickly turned to delight. This man was looking at his death wish and he even thought that Star Radiant Body was fascinating. Was he implying that his Star Radiant Body was more apparent than real?

Tang Zimeng was not someone a good-for-nothing could have his way with, so Duanmu Qing was determined to end Li Lingtian today. Due to his gift and ability, no one would dare say a thing if he were to kill Li Lingtian.

In fact, being challenged by a good-for-nothing was an insult. His frustration would not die down if he did not kill Li Lingtian. Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m

“Humph, who would have thought this useless piece of trash would become a Tier Nine Warrior.”

Yang Xiaotian noticed Li Lingtian’s cultivation level. Li Lingtian was only a Tier Six Warrior the last time he saw him, but he was now a Tier Nine peak Warrior. This gave Yang Xiaotian a bitter feeling.

“Senior Brother Yang, you’re an eighth place master in the inner sect. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a Warrior?”

Zhou Xiao glared at Yang Xiaotian with a peculiar grin. Both of them were always on opposing ends and it had never occurred to him that his old rival would bear a grudge against a Warrior.

“Humph, don’t try to act funny. Eighth place? I’m nothing before Senior Brother Dongfang and the rest. However, it’s good if this good-for-nothing dies. It’ll save me the trouble.”

Yang Xiaotian glared at Li Lingtian. He had never placed any importance on this good-for-nothing before but he had since humiliated the Yang family by crippling a few of Yang family’s disciples.

“You must be prepared to pay a heavy price for challenging me.”

Duanmu Qing stared back at Li Lingtian angrily. The latter was playing with fire for laying a hand on a goddess like Tang Zimeng. It was high time that Duanmu Qing took this opportunity to kill him.

“Wham.”

At the sudden surge of an astounding vigor, forces were spread throughout a 30-miles radius. Sensing this mounting repression, the True Qi in the body of many disciples were suppressed by this vigor.

Duanmu Qing wanted to crush Li Lingtian, this good-for-nothing with vigor as a deterrent to others. This was to let them know that the pride of a Warrior Spirit, the top Genius in Sky Cloud Sect should never be challenged.

“What a powerful vigor. Even a Tier Nine Warrior Spirit can’t amount to that. A possessor of the Star Radiant Body is indeed omnipotent.”

The judges on the platform were surprised by Duanmu Qing’s vigor. The brilliance of others would be lost and buried by such a disciple in the sect.

Tens of thousands of disciples were equally amazed, and they foresaw that Li Lingtian would be crushed by this vigor.

Xue Da and the other two, along with Tang Zimeng, were bracing themselves. There was no one amongst Sky Cloud Sect disciples who could resist against a Tier Six Warrior Spirit’s Star Radiant Body.

“That’s all?”

A monotonous voice was heard. The voice was not loud but it shocked everyone who heard it. Just like that, his remarkable vigor was shot down by a comment.
