War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3476: Su Li’s Turn

“Xu Ya Si.”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised by Zhong Gui Yu’s reply. How could he have known that Zhong Gui Yu’s senior sister was also his Eldest Senior Sister when he was in the heaven-grade Heavenly Pool Palace in the Boundless Heaven?

Duan Ling Tian thought Zhong Gui Yu might be his Little Junior Brother so he asked, “Did Teacher take you in recently?”

After asking the question, Duan Ling Tian felt it was unlikely. After all, Zhong Gui Yu had shown strength that was not any weaker than Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Pool Palace.

“You misunderstood,” Zhong Gui Yu said, “Although I’m Senior Sister Xu Ya Si’s junior brother, my master isn’t her father. We share another master…”

Duan Ling Tian knew Xu Ya Si was extraordinary even from before. In the past, even the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, who was a Six Star God of War at that time, was wary of her strength. This meant that she had to be on par with a Six Star God of War as well at that time. Now that so much time had passed, there was no doubt she had grown even stronger.

‘Third Senior Sister and Sixth Senior Brother had said that that Eldest Senior Sister left the Heavenly Pool Palace a long time ago… She was incredibly mysterious about whereabouts so none of them knew where she went…’ When Duan Ling Tian recalled his seniors’ words, it was not difficult for him to figure out that Xu Ya Si must have been accepted as a disciple by some expert. Her master was likely the reason for her tremendous improvement as well. At that time, his teacher, Xu Lang, had also been shocked by her strength. It was likely even Xu Lang was unaware that his daughter had a powerful master.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously through Voice Transmission, “Who’s your master?”

Zhong Gui Yu’s reply was swift. “Our master lives in seclusion, hence, you won’t know him even if I tell you his name. All you have to know is he’s also a god…”

‘A god?’ Although Duan Ling Tian knew that someone who had outstanding disciples like Xu Ya Si and Zhong Gui Yu had to be extraordinary, he was still slightly surprised when he heard Zhong Gui Yu’s words. As it turned out, his Eldest Senior Sister’s master was a god.

“Duan Ling Tian, apart from the Exploding Element Celestial Fruit that the Title Temple put up as a reward, I joined the Battle of the Geniuses because of you as well…” Zhong Gui Yu bluntly said, “I am going to defeat you in the Devata Realms Battle of Geniuses so that our senior sister knows that I’m the strongest among her junior brothers. She’ll know that you, whom she often praised, aren’t a match for me as well!”

Based on Zhong Gui Yu’s words, it was obvious that Xu Ya Si’s opinion was important to him.

Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised when Zhong Gui Yu said that Xu Ya Si had praised him and thought highly of him. After all, he had only met her twice, and both times, she had remained aloof. Therefore, it was unexpected that she would praise him. He mused inwardly, ‘It seems like Eldest Senior Sister is only cold on the outside; she’s actually warm on the inside…’

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded in response to Zhong Gui Yu’s challenge. He was not the slightest bit worried even though Zhong Gui Yu’s strength was that of a Five Star God of War at least.

…

After Zhong Gui Yu and Meng Fan Gui’s battle, the other battles seemed dull in comparison. Although there were battles where participants possessed the strength of a Three Star God of War, they could not compare to Meng Fan Gui and Zhong Gui Yu who possessed the strength of a Four Star and a Five Star God of War respectively.

Most people only watched the battles briefly before they continued chatting among themselves. The crowd only began to pay attention again when it was finally Su Li’s turn to fight.

Although Su Li was said to have strength only comparable to a Two Star God of War, his age made him remarkable. He, along with Duan Ling Tian, was only a little over 600 years old, making him one of the two youngest participants in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. For this reason, everyone paid attention to him. After all, young geniuses at such an age were rare even in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

“I didn’t expect to be the first among us to fight,” Su Li said with a smile as he straightened his robes before flying toward the battle ring with a sword ray under his feet.

Due to Su Li’s fame, most people had overlooked his opponent. They only began to notice his opponent when he entered the battle ring. Based on their words, it seemed like his opponent was rather famous as well.

“Su Li’s opponent is Tuoba Ping!”

“Tuoba Ping is the strongest among the younger generation in the heaven-grade Tuoba Clan in the Eternal Journey Heaven. About two decades ago, he was already as strong as a Three Star God of War. I’m sure he’s only grown more powerful since then…”

“I think Tuoba Ping is one of the stronger ones among those with the strength of a Three Star God of War…”

“I didn’t expect Su Li would have to fight Tuoba Ping in his first fight. Wasn’t the Title Temple afraid that the people would protest when they arranged this battle? After all, I’m sure they know about Tuoba Ping’s strength…”

“It seems like the Title Temple doesn’t want Su Li to win!”

It’s really unfair. Su Li’s only a little over 600 years old, but they arranged for him to fight Tuoba Ping…”

“Su Li is merely a little more than 600 years old and they had arranged for him to fight Tuoba Ping. It is so unfair!”

Although Su Li was indifferent to it, some of the young geniuses could not help but feel indignant on Su Li’s behalf because they thought the Title Temple was being unfair to Su Li.

…

In one of the battle rings.

Tuoba Ping was a tall and handsome young man with a well-built body. He was dressed in a sky-blue robe with silver trimmings. As soon as Su Li entered the battle ring, he said with a faint smile, “Su Li. The only advantage I have is my age. If it weren’t for that, I don’t think I’d feel confident about defeating you today. After all, when I was your age, I wasn’t even as strong as a titled Celestial Emperor…”

“Defeat me?” Su Li smiled faintly. “It’s not as easy as you think to defeat me.”

“Is that so?” Tuoba Ping’s eyes lit up immediately. “It seems like you’re very confident about your strength. In that case, let’s have a good and fair fight! Bring it on!”

Su Li nodded before he flew into the air. The sword ray beneath his feet began to solidify while his robe fluttered in the wind. He looked like an ethereal Sword Celestial at this moment.

Tuoba Ping’s robes fluttered in the air as well as his body began to shine with an intense golden light. It did not take long before the golden light seemed to solidify and settle on top of his skin like armor. This was the Metal Profundity from the law of metal.

“Since both of us use swords, let’s cross swords today…” Although Su Li had yet to bring out his Celestial Weapon, it was not difficult for Tuoba Ping to figure out Su Li was a sword user as well.

Tuoba Ping waved his hand before a glowing emerald sword appeared out of thin air. With just a glance, one could tell it was extraordinary.

…

“Three Star God of War…” Duan Ling Tian, who was seated among the audience, watched from afar with narrowed eyes. “Tuoba Ping is indeed a good opponent for Su Li.”

Although Duan Ling Tian had not seen Su Li unleash all his strength yet, he knew that Su Li had yet to gain the strength of a Four Star God of War. He knew this because Su Li had said he was not confident he would be able to place in the top 30. If Su Lu already possessed the strength of a Four Star God of War, he would not have been worried about not being able to make it into the top 30. After all, most of those with the strength of a Four Star God of War should be able to easily enter the top 30, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

While Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts, the sound of swords whistling in the air pulled him back to his senses.

He shifted his gaze back to the battle ring and saw Su Li and Tuoba Ping’s figures flashing around as golden sword rays shot toward Su Li from all directions. Only those with higher cultivation bases were able to capture the two participants’ movements at this moment.

As the sword rays continued to fall, Su Li was left with less and less place to retreat. It was obvious Tuoba Ping wanted to corner Su Li.

Suddenly…

Swoosh!

Su Li made a move as a thunderous sword cry rang in the air, overpowering the sounds from the countless sword rays. He seemed to have transformed into a giant sword at this moment. The giant sword slashed out, looking as though it could destroy everything in its path.
