Chapter 3268: Lei Jun’s Arrival

“Oh? Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly upon hearing Liu Jian’s words.

“Senior brother.” At this moment, a tall young man who was dressed in blue robes with a determined expression on his face arrived next to Liu Jian. He asked, “Were you looking for me?”

“Junior brother, this is your opponent today. He’s Lord Xu Lang’s newest and youngest disciple, Duan Ling Tian,” Liu Jian glanced at Duan Ling Tian as he said to the young man. Based on Liu Jian’s words, it was obvious the young man was none other than the prodigious disciple Duan Ling Tian would be facing in the Prodigy Arena today, Huang Lu Nan.

Huang Lu Nan was ranked last among the ten prodigious disciples in the 200-to-300-year-old age group. If Duan Ling Tian managed to defeat him, he would be kicked off of the Prodigy Ranking and become a prodigious disciple.

Prodigious disciples were all given a special identity token that would grant them access to many places in the Heavenly Pool Palace that ordinary disciples did not have access to. Moreover, the prodigious disciples’ treatment was, naturally, better and would make most ordinary disciples go green with envy. It was not easy to become a prodigious disciple since there could only be 100 prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. Moreover, the Heavenly Pool Palace was a heaven-grade force.

“Oh?” Upon hearing Liu Jian’s words, Huang Lu Nan shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian and asked nonchalantly, “I heard you managed to injure a senior of ours, a Six Combos Celestial Lord who has comprehended four profundities from the law of fire to the mastery stage, during the disciple selection’s test.” His gaze hardened at the end of his words.

“You’re quite well-informed,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.

“I hope you’re as strong as the rumor says. Otherwise, I’d be greatly disappointed,” Huang Lu Nan said as he shook his head and smiled. It was clear he was not intimidated at all even if Duan Ling Tian were as strong as rumored.

“It seems like you’re quite confident of your strength,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“I guess… I should be slightly stronger than you,” Huang Lu Nan replied with a smile.

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian smiled noncommittally and did not say much in response.

While Huang Lu Nan and Liu Jian continued to provoke Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er, and Hong Fei, the voices of a few disciples could be heard.

“The Sword Trial Pavilion elder is here!”

‘It’s him again.’ This Sword Trial Pavilion elder was the same elder who had helped him and Huan’er to challenge the prodigious disciples previously.

The Sword Trial Pavilion elder hovered above the stone tablet in the Prodigy Arena with his hands resting on his back as he calmly asked, “Huang Lu Nan and Duan Ling Tian… Are both of you present?” Although his voice was not loud, it contained a mysterious energy that allowed everyone to hear him clearly.

“Junior brother, go on… I’d really like to see why Lord Xu Lang took a liking to this boy,” Liu Jian said to Huang Lu Nan.

Although Liu Jian and Huang Lu Nan were disciples of one of the Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace, their teacher was weaker compared to Xu Lang. Liu Jian had wanted to join Xu Lang in the past and even took the initiative to speak to Xu Lang about it but was rejected in the end. Therefore, he hated Xu Lang’s disciples who were weaker than him. Why would Xu Lang reject him but accept someone weaker than him?

“Senior brother, today I’ll teach him a lesson today and show him what it means to be a prodigious disciple,” Huang Lu Nan said with a smirk. Then, he turned into a ball of flame as he shot toward the battle ring.

“Elder.” Huang Lu Nan greeted the Sword Trial Pavilion elder and handed his identity token to the elder as soon as he landed in the battle ring. His identity token was the unique identity token of a prodigious disciple in the Heavenly Pool Palace. There was no name engraved on the token since the token acknowledged its owner through blood. Although there was no name on the identity token, it was engraved with the owner’s age group and ranking. His identity token naturally had the words ‘200-to-300-year-old age group’ and ’10th place’ engraved on it.

The prodigious disciples in different age groups and different rankings had different identity tokens. Therefore, if someone who was lower in ranking defeated someone with a higher ranking in the same age group, they would have to switch their identity tokens.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian teleported into the battle ring.

Huan’er followed suit and teleported as close as she could to the battle ring. Her eyes were fixed on Duan Ling Tian who was standing across from Huang Lu Nan.


“Sister-in-law, Huang Lu Nan’s strength is pretty good. In your opinion, what are the chances of Little Junior Brother winning?” Hong Fei asked with a smile after he arrived next to Huan’er.

“It’s impossible for Brother Ling Tian to lose,” Huan’er said bluntly.

Hong Fei felt that Huan’er’s unswerving confidence was due to her blind trust in Duan Ling Tian. However, he soon recalled Xu Lang’s words. ‘Teacher did say that it shouldn’t be a problem for Little Junior Brother to become a prodigious disciple… However, his opponent is Huang Lu Nan…’

Hong Fei might have doubted Huan’er’s words, but he did not doubt Xu Lang’s words. Nonetheless, he was still confused. ‘However, Huang Lu Nan is also capable of doing what Little Junior Brother did during the first test… Ah, there’s no point thinking about this! I’ll just wait and see. If Little Junior Brother manages to defeat Huang Lu Nan, I want to see Liu Jian’s humiliated and disappointed expression!’ A cold smile could be seen on his face at this moment.

Liu Jian who was also standing nearby saw the smile on Hong Fei’s face and asked contemptuously, “Hong Fei, do you really think your junior brother is a match for my junior brother?”

“Liu Jian, I just hope you’ll be able to smile at the end of this.” At this moment, Hong Fei could only believe in Duan Ling Tian. He refused to show his doubts in front of Liu Jian!

Meanwhile, the crowd of disciples who had come to watch the battle was still growing.

Suddenly, the elder who came to supervise the battle in the Prodigy Arena looked up into the distance.

This, naturally, caught the other disciples’ attention, and they instinctively turned to look as well.

“It’s Lei Jun!”

“Senior Brother Lei Jun!”

“Senior Brother Lei Jun ranks in the top three in the 800-to-900-year-old age group! Not only is he a One Basic Celestial Emperor, but he’s also comprehended seven profundities from the law of metal to the mastery stage!”

“Most importantly, he’s the only son of Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor from our Heavenly Pool Palace!”

Even among the 100 prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace, Lei Jun was like a brilliant star. Not only was he strong, but his family background was good as well.

That aside, many of the disciples could not help but wonder why Lei Jun would come here. Normally, battles like the one between Duan Ling Tian and Huang Lu Nan were not even good enough to attract his attention.

“Young Master.” The elder greeted and bowed at Lei Jun when Lei Jun arrived. He did not dare to be negligent since Lei Jun’s mother was the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion.

“Elder Qin, don’t mind me. Carry on.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Jun appeared next to Huan’er. Then, Lei Jun said with a smile, “Third Junior Sister.”

“Second Senior Brother.” Since Lei Jun had stood for Huan’er when Lingyu Huan deliberately looked for trouble with her, she had a good impression of him. Therefore, she had responded to his greeting.

“Third Junior Sister, I heard that you’ve also challenged a prodigious disciple. When is your battle?” Lei Jun asked with a bright smile on his face.

“In seven days,” Huan’er replied curtly. She did not even look at Lei Jun when she replied to him. Her eyes were only fixed on the purple-clad young man standing in the Prodigy Arena. It was obvious the purple-clad young man was the only one in her eyes.

Lei Jun’s expression darkened slightly upon seeing this. A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes when he looked at the purple-clad figure standing in the Prodigy Arena.

As soon as he saw Huan’er for the first time, he was attracted to her. Although she was wearing a veil, it did not conceal her beauty at all. Just the sight of her at that time caused his heart to thump wildly in his chest. Alas, she was with Duan Ling Tian. He could not help but feel jealous. Although he was aware that she was in love with Duan Ling Tian, he did not care at all. This was because he could tell she was still a virgin. Since she had not been intimate with Duan Ling Tian, he hoped to attract her interest.

Killing intent surged in Lei Jun’s heart again when he turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian. ‘Duan Ling Tian, there’s no enmity between us. You can only blame the fact that Huan’er likes you…’

Meanwhile, some of the disciples who were looking at Lei Jun could tell Lei Jun was interested in Huan’er.

“Hey, it seems like Senior Brother Lei Jun isn’t here for the battle but for that woman.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen Senior Brother Lei Jun showing interest in a woman!”

At this moment, the elder’s voice rang in the air, causing the disciples to shift their attention away from Lei Jun to Duan Ling Tian and Huang Lu Nan.

“Let the battle begin.”

Huang Lu Nan sneered as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, right? I’ll make you regret challenging me!”

“You should attack now,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly without a change in his expression, “I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to attack anymore if you don’t attack now.”
