Chapter 3679: I’ll Try My Best

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian was surprised that a crowd had gathered outside of his residence. Based on their conversations, he knew they had been waiting outside for half a month just to invite him to meet their masters or elders who intended to accept him as a disciple.

‘I shouldn’t have deactivated the Formations so quickly,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Alas, the crowd had already noticed the deactivated Formations and broke into a commotion immediately.

Swoosh!

In the end, Duan Ling Tian appeared before the crowd.

“Duan Ling Tian has deactivated the Formation. He’s out!”

“Duan Ling Tian! I’m Xu He, Supreme Elder Huang Ping Yi’s second disciple. My master wants to invite you to his cultivation ground.”

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m Guardian Liu Gang Xuan’s eldest disciple, Li Chong Yu. My master wants to invite you over for a visit.”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he heard that a Supreme Elder and a guardian wanted to meet him.

There were only a few Supreme Elders in the Hidden Fog Sect. Moreover, Supreme Elders and guardians had higher status compared to the 19 core elders. Their status was comparable to the few Vice Sect Leaders of the Hidden Fog Sect. In fact, some of the Supreme Elders had even higher status than the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect due to their superior strength.

Duan Ling Tian was surprised the Supreme Elders and guardians wanted to accept him as their disciple since he had held his strength back to avoid being too eye-catching. He did not expect he would still attract attention from so many people even after downplaying his strength.

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m Supreme Elder Wu He’s son. My father wants to accept you as his disciple. If you’re willing to become his disciple, he promised that your treatment would be even better than mine!”

“I’m Supreme Elder Liu Hu Gui’s second disciple, He Chai. My master wants to accept you as his disciple as well. He has prepared three Auspicious Pills as a meeting gift for you.”

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m Guardian Zhao Bu Yi’s fourth disciple, Ouyang Quan. My master has said that as long as you become his disciple, he’ll find nine Auspicious Pills for you to help you become a King of Gods within a year!”

There were young men, middle-aged men, and a few young women inviting Duan Ling Tian to meet their masters and elders. Upon seeing the competition, some of them even began to increase their offer.

Duan Ling Tian was rather tempted when he heard that someone was willing to find nine Auspicious Pills for him within a year. Nonetheless, in the end, Duan Ling Tian cupped his fists together at everyone and interjected, “My apologies. I, Duan Ling Tian, have no intention of acknowledging a master even though I’ve joined the Hidden Fog Sect. My goal is to join the Great Dragon Battle Sect in the future. I apologize for keeping all of you here for so long.”

Upon hearing these words, some people left with a sigh, and some people were still determined to negotiate with Duan Ling Tian, in hopes of changing his mind. Alas, they were still rejected in the end. Among those who were rejected, there were a few who were unwilling to give up. They followed Duan Ling Tian who went to the Internal Affairs Pavilion to find out the ranking of the Heavenly Stairs Battle.

Even before the rankings were revealed, many people did not doubt that Duan Ling Tian would rank first among the inner disciples who were gods. After all, none of the gods who were inner disciples had ever climbed to the ninth step before.

Another commotion broke out among those at the Internal Affairs Pavilion as soon as Duan Ling Tian showed up.

“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”

“Duan Ling Tian? The advanced god who ranks first in the Heavenly Stairs Battle?”

“That’s right! It’s said that he’s not even 3,000 years old. Vice Sect Leader Murong is the one who recommended him to join the sect ahead of time.”

“A talent like him is truly rare. Vice Sect Leader Murong really has a discerning eye!”

“That’s right. Apart from a few Supreme Elders and our Sect Leader, I admire Vice Sect Leader Murong as well!”

After a while, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, “Hello, can you tell me where I can collect the rewards for the Heavenly Stairs Battle?”

After someone pointed the place out to him, Duan Ling Tian quickly obtained his reward, which was an Auspicious Pill.

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to leave, a chubby inner disciple with an equally chubby face called out, “Duan Ling Tian! The core disciples’ test is just around the corner. Are you confident about passing the test? The last time an advanced god managed to pass the test was 10,000 years ago! Moreover, over the past 100 years, not even one King of Gods has managed to pass the test.”

Everyone shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian curiously, eager to know his answer.

Duan Ling Tian turned to smile at the chubby inner disciple before he said, “I’ll try my best to be the first advanced god to pass the core disciples’ test in 10,000 years.”

Without waiting for a response from the chubby inner disciple, Duan Ling Tian left, leaving the noisy crowd behind.

“Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, it seems like he’s very confident about passing the test!”

“I’m excited to see how it turns out! If he truly passes the test, he’ll be the first advanced god to pass the test in 10,000 years!”

“I really wish the core disciples’ test would come faster!”

…

It did not take long for what happened at the Internal Affairs Pavilion to spread through the Hidden Fog Sect.

Upon hearing the news, Tang Wu Yan, who was with her granduncle, Tang Chun, exclaimed in shock, “He’s so confident?”

Tang Chun asked, “What happened?” After listening to Tang Wu Yan, he said with a smile, “I think he’ll be able to pass the test.”

“Granduncle, you’re so confident about his strength as well?” Tang Wu Yan was surprised. “Based on the strength he had demonstrated, I don’t think it’s enough for him to pass the test unless… he’s been hiding his true strength. Granduncle, don’t tell me you know he’s hiding his strength?”

Tang Chun shook his head. He naturally did not know if Duan Ling Tian was hiding his true strength, but he could not help but feel certain of Duan Ling Tian’s victory.

“Then, why are you confident?” Tang Wu Yan asked, puzzled.

“Maybe it’s his bearing and temperament. If it were someone else, I’d think they’re arrogant. However, coming from Duan Ling Tian, it just seems like he’s confident, not arrogant,” Tang Chun replied. Then, he looked at Tang Wu Yan meaningfully as he said, “Wu Yan, I heard you went to Heavenly Stairs. You went there for Duan Ling Tian, right?”

Tang Wu Yan was rendered temporarily speechless by Tang Chun’s words. Then, she said, “Granduncle, I only went there because I planned to participate as well. However, due to Duan Ling Tian’s sudden battle with Qi Yu, I decided to follow them to the Extreme Martial Arena to have a look. After the battle ended, I returned and entered the Heavenly Stairs.”

Tang Chun did not seem convinced. He continued to look at Tang Wu Yan meaningfully as he said, “It’s okay. I understand. It’s only normal for young women to feel shy.”

Tang Wu Yan really did not know what else she could say so she only remained silent. Perhaps, due to Tang Chun’s words, a purple-clad figure appeared and lingered in her mind.

She chastised herself inwardly, ‘Why am I wasting time thinking about a married man with children?’

Tang Wu Yan tried to get rid of the purple-clad figure in her mind, but it was futile. Not only did the figure linger in her mind, but her heart began to race when she thought about him.

…

“Ridiculous!” Tu Feng said mockingly, “Who does he think he is? He thinks he’ll be able to become the first inner disciple to pass the core disciples’ test in 10,000 years? Although the test for inner gods is easier compared to that for the King of Gods, it’s still nearly impossible for advanced gods to pass it. Does he plan to become the next Xue Hai Chuan? What a joke!”

Tu Feng was sure the person whom he planned to kill would fail the core disciples’ test since he knew how difficult the test was.
