“Congratulations, Clan Leader He!”

“Congratulations, Clan Leader He. Your daughter has secured a place to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. If she manages to come out alive, she’ll be able to join one of three sects or two clans. In fact, she might even stand a chance to cultivate in the Profound Nether Mansion!”

“That’s right. The Three Sects and Two Clans are seventh-grade sects and clans, but the Profound Nether Mansion is one of the few renowned sixth-grade Celestial Mansions in the Southern Heaven Territory. Their cultivation resources are unimaginable. If she can join the Profound Nether Mansion, her future will definitely be bright!”

Once He Qian secured a place to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, many people seated around the Clan Leader of He Clan began to congratulate him one after another.

A grin seemed to be permanently etched on Clan Leader He’s face after it was announced that He Qian would be granted entry into the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Although the realm was fraught with danger and not many could make it out alive, he was confident about his daughter’s ability. He was certain his daughter would have a fortuitous encounter in the realm and safely exit the realm.

Since one of the nine places to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had been taken by He Qian, many of the stronger participants who only planned to make an appearance later began to feel restless. Soon after, a few people whose strength was not inferior to He Qian entered the battlefield and became new ringmasters.

With that, the competition intensified at once.

Whoosh!

At noon, someone seated near the royal seats flew onto the battlefield, attracting everyone’s attention.

“That’s Huang Jia Long, the fourth son of the City Governor of Passage City!”

“Huang Jia Long is one of the city governor’s most talented sons. I didn’t expect him to appear so soon…”

“Perhaps, he saw the advantage in going first after what happened with He Qian…”

“With his strength, it’s easy for him to be ranked in the top nine.”

“Of course! He’s undoubtedly stronger than He Qian. Moreover, he possesses a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon as well!”

“Royal Grade Celestial Weapon? Really?”

“That’s right. Rumor has it that the City Governor of Passage City has five or six Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. Do you think he won’t give Huang Jia Long a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon to fight for a place to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm?”

“That’s true.”

Huang Jia Long was the fourth son of Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City and the strongest person below Celestial Kings in the Supporting Fall Nation.

Due to Huang Jia Long’s status and strength, he captured everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared.

Huang Jia Long’s opponent, a skinny middle-aged man who was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, smiled bitterly as soon as he saw Huang Jia Long. Although he had completely mastered his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, they were only of the heaven grade. Additionally, he only possessed a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon while Huang Jia Long most likely possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. For this reason, he felt he was weaker than Huang Jia Long even though their cultivation bases were the same.

With all these thoughts in mind, the middle-aged man said decisively as soon as he saw Huang Jia Long, “I surrender.” As soon as he walked out of the battlefield, he began to study the remaining eight battlefields. After all, he could still challenge the other battlefields.

The middle-aged man had surrendered because he knew it was impossible for him to defeat Huang Jia Long. It was more practical for him to surrender and preserve his strength before he moved on to the next battle.

Huang Jia Long’s expression remained calm as he stood with his hands resting on his back. He was clearly not surprised by this development. He briefly looked at his surroundings before he closed his eyes to wait for the next challenger.

It did not take long before an hour had almost passed.

“As expected of City Governor Huang’s son! He didn’t even need to fight, and his opponent directly surrendered! No one would be so bold as to challenge him.”

“Among the Supporting Fall Nation’s Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, the only one who’s a match for him is the fourth prince.”

“That’s right. If the fourth prince is not making a move, is there a point for others to make a move?”

At the same time, many people around Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City, began to compliment Huang Jia Long in an attempt to flatter Huang Yuan Fei.

Huang Yuan Fei only nodded indifferently in response. He was not overly enthusiastic, unlike the Clan Leader of He Clan.

“I don’t think anyone’s going to challenge Young Master Huang.”

“With this, there’s one place less to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”

With one hour almost gone, most people did not doubt the second person who would be granted entry to the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm would be Huang Jia Long.

At this moment…

Swoosh!

In just a flash, Duan Ling Tian flew onto Huang Jia Long’s battlefield and stood across Huang Jia Long whose eyes were closed.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the battlefield, Huang Jia Long opened his eyes. A hint of surprise could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He would not be surprised if the Fourth Prince of the Supporting Fall Nation had stepped forward to challenge him, but how could he not be taken aback to see a stranger had come to challenge him? Moreover, after probing his challenger, he discovered his challenger was not even 100 years old. He asked, “You… You’re challenging me? Do you really think someone who’s not even 100 years old will be able to defeat me?”

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, attracted everyone’s attention by challenging Huang Jia Long. When the spectators heard Huang Jia Long’s words, their eyes widened in shock as they instinctively probed Duan Ling Tian with their Divine Consciousness.

“It’s true! He’s not even 100 years old!”

“What’s going through this young man’s mind? He dares to challenge Young Master Huang even though he’s not even 100 years old! Is he looking for trouble?”

“Wait… Although he’s not even 100 years old, he should be an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial as well, right?”

“Although one’s cultivation base won’t be checked when registering for the competition, it’s a known rule that only Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials are allowed to participate. It’s a violation of the rule to participate if one’s not an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial!”

“That’s right. The punishment for violating this rule is death!”

When the spectators discovered Duan Ling Tian’s age, many of them doubted Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. Due to the Profound Divine Metal in his body, no one could discern his cultivation base. Since there was no shortage of secret techniques to conceal one’s cultivation base in the Devata Realms, the spectators did not think much of being unable to sense his cultivation base.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang Jia Long and calmly said, “If you have any Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, use them… You should use all your best moves against me… I’ll let you attack me twice before I start to attack. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to attack at all…”

Apart from Liu Guang Lin, everyone was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Not only was this young man challenging Huang Jia Long, but he even asked Huang Jia Long to use his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon and strongest moves. Additionally, he even said he was going to let Huang Jia Long attack twice before he began to attack?

After a beat, the sounds of laughter rang in the air. Duan Ling Tian’s words invoked laughter and contempt from the people. Many of them looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully, as though he was an idiot, as they began to discuss among themselves.

“Brat, are you arrogant or stupid?”

“He’s seeking death!”

“Where did a brat who has yet to reach 100 years old get the courage to say something like this?”

“What a joke!”

On the contrary, Huang Jia Long’s expression was solemn. He noticed the dismissive way Duan Ling Tian had looked at him as though he was not even worthy of Duan Ling Tian’s attention. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had to be a stupidly arrogant person or someone who was genuinely strong. His instinct told him Duan Ling Tian was not arrogantly stupid.

Whoosh!

The spectators were still jeering when Duan Ling Tian suddenly raised his hand. An umbrella appeared in his hand immediately. This umbrella was a Royal Grade Celestial Weapons that he obtained in the Little World that Huan’er’s grandaunt left behind. Before he even sent his Celestial Origin Energy into the umbrella, it was already shining with a mysterious light and exuding a chilling aura.

The bursts of laughter in the surroundings stopped immediately.

“A Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!”

“It’s… It’s a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon!”

Most people could tell with just a glance that the umbrella in Duan Ling Tian’s hand was a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. After all, quite a few of them had a certain standing in society. Those who were unaware were, naturally, made aware after listening to the words of those in the know. Those who were laughing at Duan Ling Tian earlier were now looking at Duan Ling Tian in shock and disbelief.

This arrogant and stupid young man possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?

“I see.” As soon as Duan Ling Tian took out his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, Huang Jia Long confirmed his suspicion that Duan Ling Tian was not arrogant nor was he an idiot. Nevertheless, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was serious about letting him attack twice first. He stared at Duan Ling Tian as a seven-foot-long spear that was shrouded in a mysterious energy appeared in his hand.
