“Participant number one, please enter the battlefield,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly.

Silence descended immediately.

Everyone was surprised that Duan Ling Tian issued a challenge instead of forfeiting the fight. His decision was beyond everyone’s expectations. Even those from the Pure Yang Sect were stunned.

“Duan Ling Tian is challenging the first participant?”

“Isn’t he worried about exhausting his energy and affecting his later fights?”

“He’s not very sensible, is he?”

The young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect could understand Duan Ling Tian’s decision.

Meanwhile, the two elders of the Pure Yang Sect, Ye Chen Feng and Liu Feng Gu, silently exchanged a look.

As for Zhen Ping Fang, he smiled bitterly and said, “That brat actually challenged the first participant…”

“Didn’t you dissuade him?” Ye Chen Feng asked.

“I did,” Zhen Ping Fan said with a nod, “I told him you felt the same way as well. As you can see, he didn’t listen to me at all. However, he’s not someone who does things arbitrarily. I’m sure he has his reasons.”

“I tried to dissuade him as well,” Liu Feng Gu said as he looked at the purple figure in the distance, “Perhaps, as junior nephew said, he has his reasons.”

In any case, Duan Ling Tian had already issued the challenge, and nothing could be done about it now. There was no point in saying anything else to Duan Ling Tian now.

“I hope he’ll give us a pleasant surprise,” Zhen Ping Fan murmured as he looked at Duan Ling Tian, “His opponent isn’t a weakling. Han Di is the trump card of the Consonance Mansion’s United Heavens Sect, after all.”

Han Di, the young disciple from the Consonance Mansion’s United Heavens Sect, was not famous in the past. However, his performance during the Seven Mansions Feast far eclipsed those who were famous in the Consonance Mansion.

…

At the same time, Wanqi Hong, who was standing with the people from the Wanqi clan, smirked. “Duan Ling Tian is really stubborn. He’s not going to forfeit the fight under such circumstances?”

Wanqi Hong meant that Duan Ling Tian was foolish when he used the word ‘stubborn’. Clearly, the past few participants had forfeited to conserve their strength so they would be in peak condition for the later fights. However, Duan Ling Tian was doing the opposite. He wondered if Duan Ling Tian was trying to show off.

Wanqi Hong said icily to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, I hope you don’t lose too miserably. Otherwise, I won’t feel any sense of accomplishment when I defeat you if you’re severely injured.”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised by Wanqi Hong’s message. He glanced at Wanqi Hong and saw Wanqi Hong looking at him contemptuously. In the end, he only said, “I hope you’ll still have the courage to challenge me after this fight.”

Duan Ling Tian no longer paid attention to Wanqi Hong. How could a little songbird understand the ambitions of a swan?

At this moment…

Swoosh!

Han Di, the first participant, flew into the battlefield at this moment. He was a young man dressed in a snow-white robe. Although his appearance was ordinary, his bearing was extraordinary. He wore a perpetual smile on his face as though he was unaffected by everything around him. After he landed, he cupped his fists together at Duan Ling Tian and said politely, “Brother Duan, I’ve long heard about you and have always wanted to spar with you. I didn’t expect to be able to do so during the Seven Mansions Feast.”

Duan Ling Tian replied with a slight smile, “Brother Han, I can’t compare to you. You’ve been keeping a low profile for thousands of years. However, once you make a move, you soar to the sky like a dragon from the nine heavens. Everyone can help but look up to you.”

“Brother Duan, you’re overpraising me,” Han Di said with a smile as he shook his head, “I lived in seclusion and very few know about my existence. Everything is just a rumor. Don’t take it seriously.”

While Duan Ling Tian and Han Di chatted happily, the others were watching them intently. To them, the fight that was about to start was undoubtedly the most exciting one since the Seven Mansions Feast began. They did not expect to be able to witness such an exciting fight so soon thanks to Duan Ling Tian. All of them looked at Duan Ling Tian and Han Di anticipatorily, wondering which one of the two was stronger.

One was an outstanding prodigy who recently rose to fame in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. He was young but powerful, and he even defeated Wanqi Hong, formerly the strongest among the younger generation in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

The other person was the hidden trump card of the United Heavens Sect in the Consonance Mansion. He was relatively unknown in the past, but as soon as he made his appearance in the Seven Mansions Feast, he surpassed all the famous young prodigies in the Consonance Mansion.

There was no doubt that the duo was among the top participants of the Seven Mansions Feast this time. Both had chances to rank in the top three.

“I don’t know why Duan Ling Tian didn’t forfeit the fight, but this is good for us. We’ll get to watch an exciting fight!”

“That’s right! We can finally watch the fight between the top participants. We might even learn something from it.”

“Duan Ling Tian comprehends the law of space, and Han Di comprehends the law of destruction, which is a famous offensive law. Their fight will definitely be fierce!”

While everyone was discussing among themselves, Han Di suggested something to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. After that, he asked, “What do you think? It’ll be good for both of us. That way, we won’t have to use so much energy, and our later performance won’t be affected.”

Duan Ling Tian replied, “As long as you can convince Elder Lin, I don’t have any objections.”

“I don’t think he’ll refuse,” Han Di said. Following that, he looked at Lin Dong Lai and sent a Voice Transmission.

Upon hearing Han Di’s Voice Transmission, Lin Dong Lai seemed stunned. Then, he looked at Han Di before shifting his gaze to Duan Ling Tian and asked loudly, “Duan Ling Tian, Han Di said you agreed to his suggestion. Is that true?”

Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly and asked, “What suggestion was it, Elder Lin?”

Duan Ling Tian did not think Han Di would resort to tricking him, but he would not blindly say yes without being sure. He always had his guard up.

“He suggested that I set up an isolation formation to hide your fight so no one can see both of you. At that time, the weaker one will admit defeat,” Lin Dong Lai said.

As soon as Lin Dong Lai’s voice fell, the crowd broke into an uproar.

“How can this be?!”

“No! If they do that, then what’s the point of the Seven Mansions Feast?”

“Reject them!”

“I agree! Reject this absurd suggestion!”

Many people began to protest. Most of them felt that doing so was against the purpose of the Seven Mansions Feast. Moreover, if the fight was hidden, who knew what would happen behind the scenes? Even if it was unlikely, what if the participants made a deal and one of them admitted defeat

Duan Ling Tian did not say anything, but the crowd was already putting pressure on Lin Dong Lai.

Lin Dong Lai looked at Han Di and said, “Participant number one, as you can see, it’s not that I disagree, but everyone disagrees. Moreover, they have a point. The fights won’t be transparent if you do that. Your idea has nothing to do with conserving energy. If you want to conserve energy, you can admit defeat now or admit defeat later if you feel it’s not worth continuing the fight.”

Lin Dong Lai decisively rejected Han Di’s suggestion due to the pressure.

In fact, as soon as Duan Ling Tian heard Han Di’s suggestion, he already knew it was highly impossible. However, since Han Di was very polite, he did not have the heart to refuse him directly. As such, he pushed the matter to Lin Dong Lai. Moreover, even if he agreed, they still needed Lin Dong Lai’s approval.

Duan Ling Tian could not help but think that Han Di was rather naive. Perhaps, Han Di had been living in seclusion and did not interact much with people so he was more simple in his thinking. This was just his speculation and opinion. After all, nothing was known about Han Di. Who knew if Han Di was really living in seclusion? Just because no one had heard of Han Di before did not necessarily mean he was living in seclusion.

In the end, Han Di could only give up on his idea. He also realized at this moment that he had been too naive. He smiled sheepishly and said, “I apologize, Brother Duan. It seems like I was too hasty.”

“It’s nothing,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight smile. Then, he continued to say through Voice Transmission, “Brother Han, if you want to determine which of us is stronger without expending too much energy, it’s not difficult. We can just display our strength quickly and determine the level of our strength. Whoever feels inferior can just surrender.”

“I guess this is the only way now,” Han Di said with a nod. His expression gradually turned solemn as well.

At this time, Lin Dong Lai said, “Alright, two of you, you can begin when you’re ready.”

At their level, Duan Ling Tian and Han Di had long been prepared to move. However, they did not move needlessly. After all, no matter who took the initiative to strike first, the other person would definitely not be caught off guard.

The smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face faded as well as his face turned expressionless. He had already mobilized his Divine Energy through his 99 Heavenly Veins and was ready to attack.

At this moment, Han Di said through Voice Transmission, “Brother Duan, I’m going to make a move now and use all my strength to attack. Naturally, I’ll pull back at the last moment. You should get ready to attack as well.”
