Chapter 4139: A Young Man and a Young Girl
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the central square in the Myriad Laws Academy.
Before noon, there was already a huge crowd gathered at the square. Needless to say, they were mostly students who came to watch the show. After all, only 100 people would be entering the Trial of Gods.
The Trial of Gods only opened once every 10,000 years old and could be considered a grand occasion.
“I won’t have a chance to enter the Trial of Gods in my lifetime. When it opens next, I’ll be over 10,000 years old…”
A student, who was only a little over 3,000 years old and had yet to become a rudimentary Lord of Gods, sighed heavily and said, “What bad timing… In the future, when I have a child, I’ll make sure he or she is born at the right time so he or she has a chance to enter the Trial of Gods…”
Many students in the Myriad Laws Academy felt the same way.
Many of the students of the Myriad Laws Academy were prodigies in their own right. As such, they were all very confident. Although they were not selected to enter the Trial of Gods, they did not think it was because of their lack of talent and blamed it on the timing. Needless to say, this group of people was on the younger side.
On the other hand, the students, who were close to 10,000 years old, had no choice but to stay quiet and be low-key at this time. If they were a few thousand years younger, they could also blame their age and complain. Alas, their age was not a problem at all. Moreover, most of the 100 people, who were selected to enter the Trial of Gods, were younger than them.
At this time, a group of five people appeared in the distance, attracting the students’ attention.
“Murong Hai Tang and Meng Yu, the two Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, are here!”
“In fact, Hu Lan Qi is very strong. It’s just that he pales in comparison to those two…”
“That’s only natural. Look at Hu Lan Qi. He usually has his lackeys following him around, but today, it seems like he’s the lackey.”
Someone laughed. “Now that you mentioned it, it’s true. Hu Lan Qi is following Murong Hai Tang and Meng Yu while the other two are following behind Hu Lan Qi…”
Murong Hai Tang and Meng Yu walked in front while Hu Lan Qi walked behind them. At the same time, another two disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation walked behind Hu Lan Qi.
“I heard that Murong Hai Tang was already an intermediate Emperor of Gods before he came to the Myriad Laws Academy. As for Meng Yu, I heard that he’s about to break through as well.”
“Your news is outdated! Meng Yu has already broken through and become an intermediate Emperor of Gods!”
“Meng Yu has broken through?!”
This time, these five disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were selected to enter the Trial of Gods. However, if they relied on their individual strength, only the two Holy Sons and Hu Lan Qi would have been able to enter the Trial of Gods. The other disciples would barely be able to make it. However, some time ago, the two disciples managed to secure a spot with Murong Hai Tang’s help.
80 people would be selected from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces to enter the Trial of Gods, and each would be given three places no matter what. Although five people were not a big number, it was not a small number either.
With the arrival of the group from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, the crowd’s discussion naturally turned to Wang Yun Sheng. Then, from Wang Yun Sheng, the topic naturally moved to Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan.
“It’s a pity Wang Yun Sheng, one of the Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, died. Otherwise, there’ll be one more person from the congregation entering the Trial of Gods.”
Many people sighed emotionally upon hearing this.
“Speaking of Wang Yun Sheng, do you think Duan Ling Tian will be entering the Trial of Gods as well?”
Although Duan Ling Tian had been in seclusion for the past 100 years, no one had forgotten him or that he had killed Wang Yun Sheng. At most, they had only stopped talking about him.
“There’s no way he’s not entering the Trial of Gods…”
Many people agreed with this sentiment.
“I agree… Although Duan Ling Tian didn’t seem to have participated in the competition to enter the Trial of Gods, he’s highly talented. Moreover, he’s Vice Academy Master Yang’s junior brother. He’ll definitely get to enter by default!”
“Even if he’s selected by default, there’s nothing we can say about it. After all, he’s more than worthy to be given such a treatment…”
“Duan Ling Tian’s senior sister is below the age of 10,000 as well. She’s an advanced Emperor of Gods and much stronger than Duan Ling Tian…”
“If she enters the Trial of Gods as well, she’ll probably be the strongest person in there this time.”
Meanwhile, more and more top prodigies from the various heavyweight supreme-rank forces began to arrive. Needless to say, all of them received a lot of attention. They were not any weaker than Murong Hai Tang and Meng Yu, the Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
“The people from the Scarlet Flame Palace are here!”
“That’s the prodigy from the Nine Seas Valley!”
“That person is from the Scholar Woods Divine Manor!”
Soon after, someone exclaimed, attracting everyone’s attention, “Here comes the people from the Legacy faction!”
In the distance, a group of eight people flew over. A middle-aged man and two young men flew in the lead while the others flew behind them. The eight people were students who were selected to enter the Trial of Gods.
At this moment, while everyone was watching them, one of the two young men in the lead said indifferently, “I’m sure all of you have heard about the Inner Palace faction’s Lang Chun Yuan, right? She’s not even 10,000 years old, but she’s already an advanced Emperor of Gods. Her comprehension of the law of destruction is extremely profound. Moreover, she possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. My teacher said she’s younger than I am.”
Although the young man’s expression remained indifferent, his gaze was rather complex when he spoke.
“Everyone has their own path and luck. There’s no need for comparison,” another young man said calmly but with a hint of arrogance, “Moreover, the Inner Palace faction has a Supreme Powerhouse Relic that’s exclusive to them. We don’t have resources like them. As such, I don’t think I’m worse than her; it’s just that her resources are better than mine.”
The only middle-aged man in the group shook his head gently and said, “I disagree. If she was mediocre, the Inner Palace faction wouldn’t have recruited her. There are only a few members in the faction from its founding until now. Based on what I know, the number of members has never exceeded ten. Most importantly, all their members are from the lower realms; there’s no exception. When you said her resources are better than ours, you’re only talking about the Supreme Powerhouse Relic. What about her resources when she was in the lower realms? Moreover, not counting the Supreme Powerhouse Relic, our resources in the academy are better than hers.”
The three people flying in the lead were the top young prodigies in the Legacy faction, and they were all intermediate Emperors of Gods below the age of 10,000.
Just the Legacy faction of the Myriad Laws Academy alone was not inferior to the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces. In fact, many in the academy regard the Legacy faction as a force of its own.
Now that those from the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces and the Legacy faction had arrived, many people began to wonder about Duan Ling Tian. Although Lang Chun Yuan had gotten famous, the attention she received still could not compare to Duan Ling Tian.
After all, many people witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s impressive life-or-death battle in the Palace of Death. On the contrary, when Lang Chun Yuan killed the three teachers of the Myriad Laws Academy, the number of people present was much smaller. Moreover, it was so sudden that not many people saw it clearly.
“The people from the Legacy faction are here… Even the top students from the academy are here… Where’s Duan Ling Tian?”
“Isn’t he coming?”
After a few dozen breaths, when it was close to noon…
A voice drowned out the conversations in the surroundings.
“He’s here!”
Everyone, including the top prodigies from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces, looked over, and the originally bustling central square fell silent. Their eyes were trained on a handsome young man dressed in a purple robe and a pretty girl who looked about 15 or 16 flying over in the distant sky. If they did not know better, they would have thought the duo was a pair of siblings. It was truly deceptive considering the girl was the senior sister of the young man.
At the same time, Lang Chun Yuan asked with a frown, “Junior brother, do we have something on our faces? Have they gone mad? Why are they staring at us so intently?”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said with a smile, “Fourth Senior Sister, they’re just curious about you because of the previous incident. Not many people were present that day so many of them are seeing you for the first time today. Who knows? Maybe half of them are here just to see you.”
Duan Ling Tian was only teasing Lang Chun Yuan. He really did not expect her to take his words seriously.
“So it’s like that… If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have killed those three teachers. I would’ve just stopped them and stalled for time until the patrolling teachers arrived to kill them.”
Once again, Duan Ling Tian felt helpless after listening to Lang Chun Yuan.
Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan’s arrival had overshadowed that of the other top prodigies. Among the duo, one was an intermediate Lord of Gods who was comparable to ordinary rudimentary Emperors of Gods 100 years ago while the other was an advanced Emperor of Gods who easily killed three Emperors of Gods despite being under the age of 10,000.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
‘He’s here as well?’
Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.
The other party smiled brightly in response upon seeing this. Next to him, a young student asked in surprise, “Tan Fei, you really know Duan Ling Tian? So you weren’t bragging back then?”
The other party was Tan Fei who lived next to Duan Ling Tian’s dormitory room, room 603.
