War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
Chapter 3509 - The Title Temple’s Hidden Ace Is Revealed
Hong Yuan was a young genius groomed by the Title Temple.
Duan Ling Tian's eyes were fixed on Hong Yuan as soon as Hong Yuan entered the battle ring. 'If Hong Yuan is the Title Temple's ace, he'll likely challenge Huang Quan An who's currently ranked first. Since we're already in the final round of the competition, there's no need for him to hide his strength any longer. In fact, there's also a chance he hasn't been intentionally hiding his strength. Perhaps, none of his opponents was strong enough to make him use his full strength…'
Feng Qing Yang had speculated that the Title Temple's ace was as strong as a Six Star God of War. Duan Ling Tian agreed with his master's speculation. After all, Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, did not seem worried when Huang Quan An revealed his strength earlier.
'Will Hong Yuan challenge Huang Quan An?' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself curiously.
If Hong Yuan challenged Huang Quan An and won, Duan Ling Tian would be able to confirm that Hong Yuan was the Title Temple's ace.
Similarly, the crowd was also busy speculating about who Hong Yuan would challenge.
At this moment, Hong Yuan, who had entered the battle ring, said loudly, "I want to challenge Zhou Yong Qi who's ranked fifth!"
In the end, Hong Yuan did not challenge Huang Quan An who was ranked first, Zhong Gui Yu who was ranked second, Tang San Pao who was ranked third, or Duan Ling Tian who was ranked fourth. Instead, he challenged Zhou Yong Qi who had dropped from fourth place to fifth place after Huang Quan An defeated Zhong Gui Yu.
'It seems like he's not the Title Temple's ace…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
If Hong Yuan were the Title Temple's ace, it would be meaningless and a waste of time for him to challenge Zhou Yong Qi. After all, all he needed to do was defeat Huang Quan An and take over first place. The other participants would be too afraid to challenge him after that.
'Since it's not Hong Yuan, there are only two suspects left. The obvious one would be Sima Rui who's also from the Title Temple, and then, there's Tang San Pao…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he shifted his gaze to Tang San Pao.
When Tang San Pao saw Duan Ling Tian staring at him, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Between Tang San Pao and Sima Rui, he was more inclined to believe that Tang San Pao was the Title Temple's ace. Unlike Sima Rui, he found that it was difficult to see through Tang San Pao's thoughts. Moreover, Tang San Pao's attitude was too contradictory. Tang San Pao seemed carefree and friendly, but he seemed to change into a different person whenever he fought.
Meanwhile, Hong Yuan and Zhou Yong Qi had already begun to fight.
Zhou Yong Qi, the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Equally Prosperous Heaven, was naturally not a weakling as well. For now, it seemed like he was evenly matched with Hong Yuan. However, after exchanging a few dozen moves, he defeated Hong Yuan. Based on this battle, it was clear that he had been holding back his strength as well during his previous matches.
Following that, Xu Kong Hai said, "The 8th participant, please step forward."
Ye Dong Lim, who dropped from 7th place to 8th place after Huang Quan An's defeat, entered the battle ring before she looked around. Her gaze swept past Duan Ling Tian before it finally landed on Ling Jue Yun. Then, she said, "I want to challenge Ling Jue Yun who's ranked 6th."
Ling Jue Yun, who dropped from 5th place to 6th place after Huang Quan An defeated Zhong Gui Yu, did not have any change in his expression when Ye Dong Li challenged him.
As Ling Jue Yun rose to his feet expressionlessly, Tang San Pao asked, "Ling Jue Yun, are you confident? She has an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon with a weapon spirit, after all."
Ling Jue Yun did not respond to Tang San Pao's question and flew into the battle ring immediately. In fact, he did not even say anything to Ye Dong Li and attacked as soon as he entered the battle ring.
Upon seeing this, Ye Dong Li said angrily, "Ling Jue Yun, you're the least gentlemanly person I've ever met!"
Ling Jue Yun ignored Ye Dong Li and continued to attack her. In just a blink of an eye, he overwhelmed Ye Dong Li.
Ye Dong Li did not hesitate to bring out her Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, which contained a weapon spirit, after she fell into a disadvantageous position. Alas, she was still overpowered by Ling Jue Yun.
With this, Ling Jue Yun finally revealed he had been holding back his strength as well previously.
"Heavens! Even Ling Jue Yun is so powerful?"
"Who knew he had also been holding back his strength?"
"Similar to Ling Jue Yun, I came here with the Title Temple in the Wind Prop Heaven. Previously, I thought he was only as strong as a Three Star God of War. I didn't expect him to be so much more powerful! To think he's actually as strong as a top Five Star God of War!"
"Currently, Ling Jue Yun and Duan Ling Tian are only second to Huang Quan An…"
"If there are no more surprises, they'll likely rank second and third after Huang Quan An…"
Needless to say, Ling Jue Yun stirred up a commotion when he revealed his strength that was comparable to a top Five Star God of War. The commotion was no less than the commotion Duan Ling Tian caused when he defeated Yu Dong Fang.
At this time, in the battle ring, the indignant expression on Ye Dong Li's face had already vanished. Just as Ling Jue Yun was about to leave, she asked loudly, "Ling Jue Yun, do you have a partner?"
An uproar erupted immediately when the crowd heard Ye Dong Li's bold question.
Ling Jue Yun only paused briefly before he returned to his seat without turning to look at Ye Dong Li.
Ye Dong Li was not put off by Ling Jue Yun's reaction and continued to say, "Ling Jue Yun, I'm a suitable candidate… Do you want to consider me?"
When Ling Jue Yun returned to his seat, Su Li laughed out loud.
"Do you want to fight again?"
Upon hearing these words, Su Li's smile froze on his face. He would only be looking to torture himself if he challenged Ling Jue Yun or Duan Ling Tian now.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian said, "It seems like you've improved a lot…"
"However, it's still difficult to surpass you…" Ling Jue Yun replied.
Duan Ling Tian only smiled in response before he shifted his attention back to the battle ring.
After Ye Dong Li and Ling Jue Yun's match, it was now Sima Rui's turn to issue a challenge. Sima Rui could challenge anyone who ranked above him except for Ling Jue Yun who had just finished his match. He could only challenge five people now: Huang Quan An, Zhong Gui Yu, Tang San Pao, Duan Ling Tian, and Zhou Yong Qi.
'We'll find out who's the Title Temple's ace soon…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Similar to Hong Yuan, Sima Rui was also groomed by the Title Temple.
Duan Ling Tian's way of determining the identity of the Title Temple's ace was based on who the ace would challenge. At this point, he was certain that whoever challenged Huang Quan An would be the Title Temple's ace.
"I want to challenge Zhong Gui Yu who's ranked second…"
Duan Ling Tian struck Sima Rui's name from the list of suspects as soon as Sima Rui challenged Zhong Gui Yu. The only one left on the list of suspects now was Tang San Pao who was seated behind him at this moment and who had followed him around since the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses began.
Duan Ling Tian turned around suddenly and asked, "Tang San Pao, how confident are you in defeating Ling Jue Yun?"
"Huh?" Tang San Pao seemed taken aback by Duan Ling Tian's abrupt question. Then, he asked with a smile, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"You've hidden yourself very well…" Duan Ling Tian said as he stared at Tang San Pao.
The others were confused when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words.
Tang San Pao asked, puzzled, "Huh? What do you mean?"
Duan Ling Tian did not directly reply to Tang San Pao's question. Instead, he said, "The Exploding Element Celestial Fruit…"
Su Li and the others were even more confused by Duan Ling Tian's reply. They did not understand why Duan Ling Tian would mention the reward for the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses in response to Tang San Pao's question.
"You realized?" Tang San Pao's eyes glinted. In just a blink of an eye, his aura changed completely. Gone was his carefree and playful behavior; he now had an aloof and unapproachable air about him.
The first thing Duan Ling Tian said is the reward of the strongest person in the Devata Realm's battle of geniuses. That confuses Su Li and the others even more. Why did Duan Ling Tian suddenly mention that?
"It seems like I'm right," Duan Ling Tian smiled indifferently, "Why did you approach us? Are you trying to understand your enemies better?"
"Is there a need for me to do such a thing?" Tang San Pao asked.
"You're confident," Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.
"Yes. However, I still can't tell if you and Ling Jue Yun are still holding back…" Tang San Pao said.
"You'll know soon enough…"
"I can't wait…"
At the same time, the atmosphere grew tense as the others listened to Duan Ling Tian and Tang San Pao's confusing conversation.
Su Li could not help but ask through Voice Transmission, "Duan Ling Tian, what's going on?"
Duan Ling Tian replied truthfully, "Tang San Pao is the Title Temple's ace."
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally confirmed his speculations: Tang San Pao was the Title Temple's ace. There was no doubt about it now.
"What?!" Su Lu was taken aback. Previously, Duan Ling Tian had told him about the Title Temple's hidden ace, but he did not know who it was. Now that he learned about the identity of the Title Temple's hidden ace, he was shocked.
