Chapter 3512: A Token of Apology

After the revelation about Ling Jue Yun’s identity, a huge commotion erupted at the venue of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. Everyone, apart from Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang, was shocked to find out that Ling Jue Yun was from the Divine Offering Land, a Realm of Gods. Everyone knew the Realms of Gods were superior to the Devata Realms in every way. Gods were a dime in a dozen in Realms of Gods.

“Hey, don’t you think it’s unfair that a native of a Realm of Gods is participating in the Battle of the Geniuses?”

Some of the young geniuses were rather dissatisfied when they found out about Ling Jue Yun’s origins.

“Nonsense. Isn’t Ling Jue Yun younger than 700 years old? The connection between the Realms of Gods and the Devata Realms has been closed for the past 600 years. This means he came here when he was about 100 years old!”

There were those who were aware that the link between the Realms of Gods and the Devata Realms had been closed over the past 600 years. The passages linking both realms were close for 1,000 years. Until they reopened 400 years later, no one could travel to and from the Realms of Gods.

“So Ling Jue Yun grew up in the Devata Realms?”

“Nevertheless, he’s from a prominent clan in a Realm of Gods. I’m sure he has his means and techniques. He’ll naturally be more talented than us…”

Despite knowing Ling Jue Yun had spent most of his time in the Devata Realms, there were many who still felt unconvinced. In their opinion, Ling Jue Yun had an advantage since he came from a prominent clan in a Realm of Gods. However, upon seeing how respectful Xu Kong Hai was to Ling Jue Yun, even if they were dissatisfied, they knew there was no point in objecting. Xu Kong Hai would definitely defend Ling Jue Yun. As the highest-ranking person from the Title Temple present on the scene, he held the highest authority in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

“I didn’t know there’s a clan that specializes in the law of death and has a natural aptitude for the law of death. It’s so amazing that they can even merge with their doppelgangers…”

“Native of the Realms of God naturally have their own special techniques. After all, they’re descendants of supreme powerhouses…”

Apart from Xu Kong Hai, Feng Qing Yang, and Di Huang; the Clan Leader of the Qilin clan, most were shocked to learn that there was a clan with a natural aptitude for comprehending the law of death.

Xu Kong Hai was aware of this since he was a member of the main Title Temple; Di Huang was aware of this since the Qilin clan had a supreme powerhouse; Feng Qing Yang had learned about this during his time in the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms.

Regardless of Ling Jue Yun’s identity, he had won his match against Huang Quan An fair and square.

At this time, Huang Quan An smiled despite feeling shocked by the revelation. He said jokingly, “I have nothing to say about my loss; I’m thoroughly convinced. It seems like I have to avoid you and your clan members in the future for offending you…”

Huang Quan An was clearly not dissatisfied or upset with his loss at all.

Meanwhile, a hint of reverence could be seen in Xu Kong Hai’s eyes as he watched Ling Jue Yun return to his seat. After a moment, he finally moved his gaze to the battle ring before he said, “Zhou Yong Qi, the 6th participant, please enter the battle ring.”

Zhou Yong Qi was initially ranked fourth before Huang Quan An defeated Zhong Gui Yu and before he lost his match.

Similarly, Duan Ling Tian and Tang San Pao had dropped two places as well due to Ling Jue Yun and Huang Quan An’s match.

Swoosh!

The crowd shifted their attention back to Zhou Yong Qi who had entered the battle ring.

“Zhou Yong Qi is the last true disciple of Heavenly Emperor Zhou Bing Wu of the Equally Prosperous Heaven!”

“Do you think Zhou Yong Qi will challenge Duan Ling Tian? After all, before the commencement of the Battle of the Geniuses, Duan Ling Tian’s master, Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang, openly embarrassed his master, Heavenly Emperor Zhou Bing Wu!”

“I think he’ll challenge Duan Ling Tian.”

“It’s only natural for a disciple to avenge his master, after all.”

“Hey, have you forgotten that Duan Ling Tian displayed the strength of a top Five Star God of War during his match with Yu Dong Fang? Although Zhou Yong Qi is quite strong, he doesn’t seem to be as strong as a top Five Star God of War!”

“I agree.”

“If he’s not as strong as a top Five Star God of War, he won’t have the strength needed to avenge his master.”

Zhou Yong Qi smiled bitterly when he heard the conversation in his surroundings. It was true that he would have challenged Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian did not display his strength that was comparable to a top Five Star God of War during his match with Yu Dong Fang. After all, let alone Duan Ling Tian, he was not even a match for Yu Dong Fang. It would be foolish of him to challenge Duan Ling Tian now.

“I challenge…”

The crowd waited with bated breaths as they waited for Zhou Yong Qi to choose his opponent.

“Is Zhou Yong Qi still hiding his strength?”

“Is he going to challenge Duan Ling Tian?”

“Is it possible that he’s also as strong as a top Five Star God of War? If he is, then the match will be very exciting!”

Everyone was eager to watch Zhou Yong Qi fight Duan Ling Tian. Their eyes brightened when they saw Zhou Yong Qi look at Duan Ling Tian.

Alas, the crowd’s excitement died down when Zhou Yong Qi shifted his gaze away and said, “I want to challenge Tang San Pao!”

“It seems like we’re too hopeful,” a young genius said with a wry smile.

“You’re right. Zhou Yong Qi clearly knows he’s not a match for Duan Ling Tian so he targeted Tang San Pao who’s Duan Ling Tian’s friend to vent his anger…”

“How do you know that?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“How is it obvious? He can only challenge Tang San Pao or Duan Ling Tian now…”

“So it means he’s not targeting Tang San Pao. He only chose Tang San Pao because he feels Tang San Pao is a pushover…”

Duan Ling Tian and Su Li who were aware of Tang San Pao’s true strength felt rather speechless when they overheard the discussions in their surroundings. How could Tang San Pao who was highly likely to be as strong a Six Star God of War be a pushover?

Su Li turned back to look at Tang San Pao and said with a smile, “Hey, it seems like Zhou Yong Qi thinks you’re a pushover…”

Tang San Pao smiled before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, whether you believe it or not, I still have to say that I didn’t approach you with ill intentions. However, I admit I was wrong for hiding my identity. Zhou Yong Qi will be a token of my apology to you…”

As soon as Tang San Pao finished speaking, he did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s reply and flew into the battle ring.

Su Li was puzzled. Then, he could not help but complain to Duan Ling Tian, “What nonsense is he talking about? Only he will benefit from defeating Zhou Yong Qi. How can he be so shameless to say this is for you?”

“It’s not as simple as just defeating Zhou Yong Qi,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head.

“You mean…” Su Li was briefly stunned. “You mean he plans to kill Zhou Yong Qi? However, Zhou Yong Qi is the last true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Equally Prosperous Heaven who’s ranked 4th on the Heavenly Emperor ranking!”

Duan Ling Tian said, “Tang San Pao is the Title Temple’s ace. Do you really think the Title Temple will allow Zhou Bing Wu to act against Tang San Pao?”

Su Li nodded. Then, he said with a wry smile. “You’re right. It seems like apart from one’s strength, it’s important to have a strong background as well in the Devata Realms. Well, unless one’s really strong…”

Duan Ling Tian said, “It’s not just the Devata Realms. Wasn’t it like this as well when we were in the Saint Province Realm? It’s the same everywhere…”

At this time, Tang San Pao stood across from Zhou Yong Qi in the battle ring as he stared at Zhou Yong Qi coldly.
