Chapter 3149: Distribution Plan

After Duan Ling Tian breached the defenses from the law of earth’s Defense Profundity, the Crystal Barrier Profundity, and the Rock Style Profundity, Heng Feng hastily cast the Recovery Profundity. Alas, the speed of recovery could not keep up with the speed of destruction. With this, he could only watch as history repeated itself. If Duan Ling Tian did not show mercy, he would have died.

“Thank you.” Previously, Heng Feng had been caught unaware and was defeated by Duan Ling Tian. However, this time, he had been fully prepared but was still defeated. For this reason, he accepted his loss this time. He thanked Duan Ling Tian for sparing his life before he brought his Accumulative Point Jade out. Before he crushed his Accumulative Point Jade, he looked at Wan Qing Qing who was standing in the distance and said, “Junior Sister Qing Qing, I owe you this time. In any case, I hope you’ll consider working with Duan Ling Tian. You’ve seen his strength. Coupled with your speed and agility, both of you will have a chance of eliminating those six people from the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.” Without waiting for Wan Qing Qing’s reply, he shattered his Accumulative Point Jade.

“Hmm?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he saw the 33 points he had gained from Heng Feng. Coupled with the one point he had, he now had 34 points. After a moment, he lifted his head and looked at Wan Qing Qing who was still standing in the distance. “Looks like you and Heng Feng have been busy before I entered the middle realm… Anyway, have you made up your mind? Are you going to join forces with me?”

…

Meanwhile, as soon as Heng Feng crushed his Accumulative Point Jade, people from various grade-six Celestial Mansions who had been keeping an eye on the scoreboard instantly noticed the change; the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng had disappeared from the 25th place on the scoreboard and was replaced by another person! Their eyes widened in shock when they saw the new name.

“D-duan Ling Tian?!”

The Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian was not on the scoreboard earlier. However, as soon as he made an appearance, he eliminated Heng Feng and directly entered the top 30! How could everyone not feel shocked?

“Based on what I heard, the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian last month… He’s really unlucky to run into Duan Ling Tian again!”

“Last month, Heng Feng was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian as soon as he entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Duan Ling Tian only obtained one point from him at that time. This time, he’s defeated by Duan Ling Tian again, and Duan Ling Tian managed to gain 33 points from him.”

“Heng Feng had accumulated so many points, but they’ve all gone to Duan Ling Tian… He must be filled with resentment now…”

“The Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng is really unlucky!”

…

Meanwhile, there was an uproar in all three sites of the Transporting Formations in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

“Duan Ling Tian just entered the middle realm a few hours ago, but he has already made it into the top 30?”

“Is this a joke? Is… is it possible that the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng is helping Duan Ling Tian to cheat?”

“Cheating? Impossible! Last month, Heng Feng was eliminated when he only had one point. What’s the point of cheating over one point?”

“After Heng Feng was defeated last month, he revealed that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended seven profundities from the law of space. Now that he’s eliminated again by Duan Ling Tian, it proves that Duan Ling Tian is stronger than him.”

“Heng Feng must have joined forces with someone earlier to accumulate so many points in such a short time… I wonder if Heng Feng’s ally was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian as well…”

“Well, if his ally is Wan Qing Qing, I don’t think Duan Ling Tian is capable of eliminating her.”

Within the day, news of Duan Ling Tian entering the top 30 reached Qi Tian Ming. His eyes were gleaming with excitement as he thought to himself, ‘Good job, boy! I thought he’d be behind since he entered the middle realm rather late… Who knew he’d gain so many points in such a short time!’

It was a disadvantage to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm six days after it opened. If one was unlucky, regardless of how strong one was, it would be difficult for one to make it into the top 10 on the scoreboard. Therefore, after receiving the news that Duan Ling Tian had gained so many points and entered the top 30, Qi Tian Ming felt immensely relieved. He muttered to himself, “Based on the current situation, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to rank in the top 10…”

…

In the Martial Battle Mansion’s estate.

Heng Feng’s appearance in the Transporting Formation drew the attention of the mansion’s elders and disciples. However, after a moment, all of them quickly shifted their eyes to the scoreboard. Naturally, there was an uproar when they saw the name that replaced Heng Feng on the scoreboard.

“It’s Duan Ling Tian again?!”

“Heng Feng, didn’t you join forces with Wan Qing Qing this time around? How did the Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian manage to eliminate you?”

“Where’s Wan Qing Qing? Isn’t she eliminated?”

“How’s that possible? Can ordinary people catch up to Wan Qing Qing? As strong as Duan Ling Tian is, he might not be able to match Wan Qing Qing’s speed.”

“You have a point.”

Heng Feng could only smile bitterly when he heard the conversations in his surroundings. He had no one to blame but his inferior strength.

…

In the Han Qing Mansion’s estate.

At this time, Liu Ji had also received news of Duan Ling Tian ranking in the top 30 after entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Duan Ling Tian has already entered the middle realm? He’s rather lucky to encounter the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng and obtain 33 points… I guess it’s time for me to enter the middle realm as well…”

Liu Ji had yet to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm because he was waiting for Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he knew he might not run into Duan Ling Tian even if both of them were in the middle realm at the same time. However, as long as they were both in the middle realm, there was still a chance of them meeting. He still felt humiliated when he recalled how he was defeated by Duan Ling Tian last month due to his own carelessness. He was determined to seek revenge this month!

…

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Wan Qing Qing did not instantly agree to join forces with Duan Ling Tian. Instead, she asked, “How do you propose we distribute the points after we join forces?”

Duan Ling Tian mulled over the question for a moment before he replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of you… When meeting opponents whom we are able to defeat on our own, we’ll take turns obtaining their points. However, if we meet opponents whom I’m able to defeat on my own but you’re incapable of defeating, their points will go to me. The reverse applies. If we encounter opponents whom you’re able to defeat on your own but I’m incapable of defeating on my own, their points will go to you… Do you agree with this?”

“I agree.” Wan Qing Qing was slightly surprised. She had assumed Duan Ling Tian would propose a plan that would be disadvantageous to her. However, after listening to his words, she found his suggestion fair. Moreover, she could tell he was sincere about working together, therefore, she agreed to it. Naturally, she was still wary of him. Since she and Heng Feng were both from the Martial Battle Mansion, they wouldn’t be able to gain points from each other. As such, there was no need to be wary of each other. However, it was different joining forces with Duan Ling Tian. Since they were able to gain points from each other, there was always a chance of betrayal.

After Wan Qing Qing agreed to work together, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “If you covet my points and attack me at any point while we’re allies, don’t blame me for being heartless…”

Upon hearing these words, Wan Qing Qing scoffed. “I will definitely honor my words. Similarly, if you betray our alliance, I will let everyone know how despicable you are once I leave the middle realm! At that time, your reputation will be tarnished! I might not be able to kill you, but I won’t have a problem escaping from you. At that time, no one will dare to join forces with you except for the people from the Profound Nether Mansion…”

“You won’t have such an opportunity,” Duan Ling Tian said lightly.

Upon hearing these words, Wan Qing Qing grew nervous. “What do you mean?”

Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. As though he could read her mind, he said, “What do you think I mean? Let me guess, you think I’ll kill you to silence you after obtaining your points?” He chuckled before he continued to say, “Relax… What I mean is you won’t have an opportunity to tarnish my reputation since I don’t have any intention of betraying our alliance…”

Wan Qing Qing heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. Her instincts told her Duan Ling Tian was a trustworthy person. Moreover, Heng Feng also felt that Duan Ling Tian was trustworthy. Otherwise, she would not risk joining forces with Duan Ling Tian. After all, he was much stronger than her. If he were to betray her, there was nothing she could do.

After that, both of them did not waste time and continued roaming the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

As they traveled, Wan Qing Qing maintained a safe distance from Duan Ling Tian. In case Duan Ling Tian attacked, at least, she would have a chance of escaping. Although she somewhat trusted him, she still could not completely let down her guard.

At this moment, she asked, “Are you really an outer court disciple in the Profound Nether Mansion?”

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian showed her his identity token that was hanging from his waist. Then, he asked teasingly, “Why are you maintaining such a distance between us? Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?”
