“Duan Ling Tian?!” The young woman narrowed her eyes when she looked at the purple figure in front of her. A hint of fear could be seen in the depths of her eyes. Six days ago, she was not even aware of the existence of Duan Ling Tian, an outer disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion. However, over the last six days, she had learned from her peers in the Martial Battle Mansion that he was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who was suspected of comprehending seven profundities from the law of space before even reaching the age of 100! She had also naturally heard about how Heng Feng, a fellow disciple of the Martial Battle Mansion, had been eliminated by Duan Ling Tian shortly after Heng Feng had entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. During the battle, at the critical juncture, Heng Feng had comprehended the Defense Profundity, the seventh profundity from the law of earth. Based on this, one could see how formidable Duan Ling Tian was. A few days ago, Heng Feng had proposed to join forces with her to obtain more points in the middle realm. Moreover, he even promised that he would not surpass her ranking. Considering the fact that most people in the middle realm would not be able to breach Heng Feng’s defenses, coupled with her speed, she knew they were suited to work together. Therefore, she agreed to join forces with Heng Feng. As they traveled together after entering the middle realm, Heng Feng had also recounted his experience of battling Duan Ling Tian to her, which made her further realize how formidable Duan Ling Tian was. It was out of her expectation that they would run into Duan Ling Tian, whom everyone had been fervently discussing, three days after entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Junior Sister Qing, take me with you and leave! We’re no match for him!” Heng Feng hurriedly sent a Voice Transmission to Wan Qing Qing. He could sense Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness had locked onto him. It was not easy for him to come this far with Wan Qing Qing’s help. He was reluctant to be eliminated so early, therefore, he did not hesitate to urge Wan Qing Qing to help him escape.

Swoosh!

Before Wan Qing Qing finished listening to Heng Feng’s words, her body flickered, and she appeared next to Heng Feng before her afterimage even disappeared.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, a green light burst forth and shrouded Wan Qing Qing and Heng Feng. Like two streaks of green light, they shot away soon after. In terms of strength, she was no match for Heng Feng. However, speed-wise, she was superior to him. In fact, her speed was on par with the top six Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. This was also the main reason Heng Feng had chosen to collaborate with her.

“We just met, old friend, why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he saw the young woman bringing Heng Feng with her to escape. Her speed was so fast that it was comparable to his Teleportation Profundity.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and cast the Teleportation Profundity and other profundities from the law of space to boost his speed. Even with this, he could only barely catch up with Heng Feng and the young woman. Based on his current speed, he would need an hour to catch up to the duo.

‘She’s fast!’ Duan Ling Tian was astonished by the young woman’s speed as he chased after the duo. As he probed her with his Divine Consciousness, he thought to himself, ‘Her speed is comparable to a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who has comprehended three movement profundities from the law of wind. However, she seems to have comprehended the law of wood. I wonder how someone who has comprehended the law of wood came to possess such speed. Even if she has comprehended all nine profundities from the law of wood to the rudimentary stage, it would still be impossible for her to possess such speed, right?’

As Duan Ling Tian probed deeper, he discovered Wan Qing Qing’s speed seemed to come from another force, not the profundities she had comprehended. ‘Is her speed an inherent skill? After all, Celestial Talismans and Celestial Pills are prohibited in the middle realm. There’s no way her speed is from those things…’

Duan Ling Tian asked the Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, and the Chaos Divine Metal, “Is it possible that her speed comes from the Clear Heavens Divine Wood, one of the Five Divine Elements?” Although the middle realm prohibited external help, it did not apply to the Five Divine Elements. He had confirmed this during his previous visit to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. In fact, he also possessed a Clear Heavens Divine Wood, but it was in its first form. Since the Clear Heavens Divine Wood had not gained sentience, it was of no help to him at the moment.

The Chaos Divine Flame’s gruff voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind immediately. “No, if she’s using drawing power from the Clear Heavens Divine Wood, we would’ve sensed it.”

“No?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Wan Qing Qing intently. “So it must be an inherent skill like Ling Jue Yun’s power of blood.” He recalled Ling Jue Yun’s power of blood that Ling Jue Yun was born with. Naturally, inherent skills were not considered as external help.

“I didn’t expect him to be so fast!” Heng Feng could tell it would only be a matter of time before Duan Ling Tian caught up to them. He said decisively, “Junior Sister Qing, leave me behind and escape! Provided he didn’t conceal his strength previously, he should be slower than you.” He knew if Duan Ling Tian cast his profundities from the law of space to restrain them, both of them would not be able to escape at all. Therefore, he decisively told her to leave him behind.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was hot on the duo’s trails said, “Heng Feng, you only gave me a point last month. This time, I’m impressed and delighted by the points you’ve accumulated!” Previously, he only obtained one point from Heng Feng since he eliminated Heng Feng when Heng Feng had just entered the middle realm. This time, before he entered the middle realm, he saw Heng Feng had already accumulated more than 20 points and was ranked 29th on the scoreboard. He was unaware that after he entered the middle realm, Heng Feng had eliminated a Ten Directions Celestial Duke with Wang Qing Qing’s help. Therefore, currently, Heng Feng had accumulated 33 points and was ranked 26th on the scoreboard.

Duan Ling Tian who had been surprised by Wan Qing Qing’s speed continued to say, “You must have joined forces with this person, right? Based on her speed, she’ll definitely be able to help you break into the top 20! However, I don’t remember seeing the name of a female disciple from the Martial Battle Mansion on the scoreboard before I entered the middle realm… This means she hasn’t obtained any points, right?”

Duan Ling Tian, who possessed a good memory, had committed the names on the scoreboard to memory. Among the hundred names he remembered, only two names were from the Martial Battle Mansion. Apart from Heng Feng, the other name was clearly masculine. It was obvious it was not the young woman’s name. Since it was impossible for Heng Feng to work with someone from other grade-six Celestial Mansions, he knew the young woman had to be from the Martial Battle Mansion and had yet to gain any points. As he looked at the young woman who was helping Heng Feng escape, he speculated inwardly, ‘Last month, there were three participants from the Martial Battle Mansion who were ranked on the scoreboard. One of them is currently ranked fourth, the other person is Heng Feng, and the final person from the Martial Battle Mansion is Wan Qing Qing. The name is clearly feminine. I’m sure this young woman is Wan Qing Qing…’

At this moment, the Chaos Divine Earth’s voice suddenly rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Boy, if it’s possible, you should join forces with the young woman. Although we can increase the strength of your attacks, there’s not much we can do to boost your speed. Both of you are suited to work together in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”

The Profound Divine Metal chimed in, “I agree. You should collaborate with her.” It was rare for the Profound Divine Metal to agree with the Chaos Divine Earth.

“Collaborate with her? Alright!” Upon hearing the Chaos Divine Earth and the Profound Divine Metal’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up. If the two Divine Elements did not voice their opinions, it would not have crossed his mind to work with the young woman. Although his speed was fast, he might not be able to catch up with opponents whose forte was speed in the middle realm. Let alone those who have comprehended three movement profundities from the law of wind, he might not even be able to catch up with those who comprehended two movement profundities from the law of wind.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Heng Feng’s words and after seeing Duan Ling Tian was drawing closer and closer, Wan Qing Qing did not hesitate to heed Heng Feng’s words.

Swoosh!

As soon as Wan Qing Qing dropped Heng Feng, her speed increased by a level. She shot forward like a fired arrow before she disappeared from Duan Ling Tian’s sight.

Heng Feng hovered in the air calmly with a wry smile on his face as he waited for Duan Ling Tian’s arrival.
