Divine King of Honour
Chapter 799 - 798: The Whistling of the Wind Before the Storm

"Duan Tianhai actually broke through to the Cave Void Realm, am I seeing things?"

"You're not seeing things, he really has broken through to the Cave Void Realm, and his aura is strong, too. It seems he must have made the breakthrough some time ago."

"He's only thirty-two years old. Doesn't that mean he's qualified to enter the list of geniuses?"

"It's a bit difficult, even if he has broken through to the Cave Void Realm. He might not be a match for Han Xiaoxiao. However, now that he's made this breakthrough, Zhang Lei, who used to be a notch above him, is probably going to be left behind."

…

With Duan Tianhai's appearance, a buzz of discussions immediately erupted from all around.

They were not unfamiliar with the talents from the Four Great Families.

The Feng Family was annihilated, and the Lin Family only had a single daughter.

As for the remaining Zhang and Duan Families, they naturally attracted the most attention.

Now that Duan Tianya was dead, all eyes that followed the Duan Family naturally fell upon Duan Tianhai.

And the one often mentioned alongside Duan Tianhai was naturally Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei himself was frowning at this moment.

He hadn't expected that Duan Tianhai had already broken through to the Early Stage Cave Void.

As such, his advantage of being unbeatable in the same realm of Body Cultivation no longer existed.

He might even be suppressed by Zhang Lei instead.

"Hmph, Zhang Lei, my brother died because of your Zhang Family. Today, I will make your Zhang Family pay the price." As soon as Duan Tianhai stepped onto the Battle Platform, he directly declared war on Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei's frown deepened upon hearing this.

However, as the eldest son of the Zhang Family, he naturally would not submit and immediately responded, "I'm ready whenever you are!"

Duan Tianhai gave a scornful laugh.

Up in the stands, Zhang Lin was also deeply frowning.

Inner anxiety burned within him.

If his brother really faced Duan Tianhai, he was afraid there would be significant trouble.

"Don't worry, I've got this!"

However, just then, Zhang Lin felt a pat on his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Nian smiling at him.

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

He trusted Xu Nian completely.

So when Xu Nian said he had it, he believed his brother would be fine.

"Ha ha, have all the people arrived? It's my turn to enter the scene!"

A cheerful laugh sounded.

Then the crowd saw a figure arriving on a trail of fire.

Like a ball of flame, he appeared directly on the Battle Platform.

"Yuwen Gong? Is he going to participate too?"

"Yeah, if he participates, wouldn't he easily take first place?"

The surrounding crowd all revealed faces of surprise.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Yuwen Gong of the Tianxing Sect to choose to participate in this Holy Scripture.

He was the second talent of the Tianxing Sect, ranked seventh on the list of geniuses.

The faces of Zhang Lei, Duan Tianhai, and Wong Tian on the Battle Platform all changed.

Yuwen Gong joining was like bullying, wasn't it?

With his strength, no one present was a match for him!

Yet Yuwen Gong seemed to thoroughly enjoy the surprised looks from everyone.

His face was filled with absolute arrogance.

He even glanced at Han Xiaoxiao, hoping to see a look of surprise in her eyes.

However, Han Xiaoxiao didn't even spare him a glance.

This stirred a surge of anger deep within Yuwen Gong.

"Hmph, you arrogant woman, let's see how long you can maintain your arrogance, soon you will submit to my authority just like Xie Baishi," Yuwen Gong sneered inwardly.

The arena continued to be noisy.

Next, a few more figures swept onto the Battle Platform.

However, this time, there were no particularly impressive contenders.

Xu Nian felt it was about time, so he took a step forward.

"Boss, are you going to make a move now? But why didn't you go out earlier?" Zhang Lin noticed Xu Nian's action and immediately asked excitedly, confusion also evident in his eyes.

"You don't understand, do you? The big shots usually appear last, ever heard of 'One move to determine the outcome'? That's our Boss," Bu Keng immediately said with contempt towards Zhang Lin.

"So that's how it is, the Boss is truly the Boss, such an imposing presence," Zhang Lin immediately praised.

Xu Nian, however, helplessly shook his head.

His late entry was purely due to his personality, preferring to keep a low profile.

How it became high profile in Bu Keng's mouth was beyond him.

Indeed, Bu Keng and Zhang Lin's words had caught the attention of many.

People around began to look in Xu Nian's direction.

Apart from the Lingxi Sect disciples and Loose Cultivators, the Family Heads of the Three Great Families, as well as people from the Tianxing Sect and Heavenly Array Sect, all turned their gaze towards Xu Nian.

Duan Tianhai's eyes turned colder still, a surge of killing intent welling up deep within his pupils.

As for Yuwen Gong, he glanced at Xu Nian and then showed a disdainful expression.

Zifu Middle-stage?

Dare to claim the first place with such Cultivation?

He's probably the last, right?

The others, after looking at Xu Nian's cultivation level, also showed disdainful expressions.

The only exception was Han Xiaoxiao in the crowd, who hooked the corner of her mouth into a faint, barely noticeably smile.

Fortunately, no one took notice of this detail, or it would have certainly shocked everyone.

Of course, not everyone was oblivious to it.

Bai Lingxue, standing in the distance, caught this scene.

The perceptively sharp Bai Lingxue immediately showed a look of surprise.

She remembered this young man.

The one who had made that rude remark yesterday, the one who wanted to drag her to bed and thrash her.

Originally, she thought he was just a clown.

But that slight smile on Han Xiaoxiao's face aroused her curiosity.

"Tch, a Zifu Middle-stage claiming he can take the first place, people these days really throw away their face just for a bit of fame," Guan Yun said with a thick tone of disdain, standing next to Xuanyuan Qingling.

Xuanyuan Qingling's brows unconsciously furrowed.

She was now a person of the Heavenly Court.

And Xu Nian was even the Heavenly Court Master.

Guan Yun's blatant disrespect for Xu Nian naturally made her dissatisfied.

"You're wrong, one must not judge some people just by their appearance, or you might find yourself being slapped in the face," Xuanyuan Qingling said coldly.

Guan Yun started, clearly not expecting his beloved woman to suddenly get angry.

Seeing Xuanyuan Qingling's expression, the cold indifference in her deep gaze made him even more uneasy.

"Qingling, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly get angry? Do you know this young man?" Guan Yun asked in confusion.

Xuanyuan Qingling, realizing her moment of agitation had aroused Guan Yun's suspicion, immediately responded, "I don't know him, but I just think he might be special, perhaps his strength isn't as simple as it appears to us."

"I thought you knew him. Even if he's a little special, how special can a Zifu Middle-stage be? Qingling, you're just overthinking," Guan Yun said with relief, smiling.

Xuanyuan Qingling's gaze turned colder, and she left Guan Yun with a remark that left him stunned.

"Guan Yun, maybe one day, you will die because of your own arrogance."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Qingling turned around and went to another viewing stand, distancing herself from Guan Yun.

Guan Yun was dumbfounded, not understanding why Xuanyuan Qingling would get angry without reason today.

Could it be that Xuanyuan Qingling was on her period these last few days?
