Chapter 3278 - Why Should I Be Worried?



Chapter 3278: Why Should I Be Worried?

Huan’er was the apple of Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. How could he not be angered by Han Yun Jin’s words? He was so angry that he had already sentenced Han Yun Jin to death in his heart. In the end, he only said with a sneer, “The only thing you need to worry about is your Fourth Junior Disciple dying later.”

“Is that so?” Han Yun Jin maintained the smile on his face as he said, “It seems like killing Liu Jian really boosted your confidence. However, Liu Jian wasn’t in the same league as my Fourth Junior Brother…”

“If he dares to choose the life-or-death battle, then death is what he will get,” Duan Ling Tian replied icily as his eyes flashed.

At this moment, a loud and clear voice rang in the Prodigy Arena.

“Elder Qin!”

At the same time, a skinny figure appeared in the Prodigy Arena, staring at the Sword Trial Pavilion elder who would be supervising the battle today. The figure belonged to a skinny and ordinary-looking young man. His aura was icy as he announced loudly, “I, Fan Qi accept Duan Ling Tian’s challenge. In return, I challenge him to a life-or-death battle. No surrender or rest until one of us is dead!”

With these words, his identity became clear to those who might not recognize him. Who else could he be but Fan Qi, the strongest prodigious disciple in the 200-to-300-year-old age group?

“He’s Fan Qi?”

“He wants the battle to be a life-or-death battle?!”

“There are two types of life-or-death battles. One is where either one of the opponents are allowed to surrender. The other one is where there’s no surrendering at all. The battle only ends when one of the two opponents dies. What enmity does he have with Duan Ling Tian? Why would he choose this type of battle?”

Fan Qi’s words stunned the Heavenly Pool Palace disciples in the Prodigy Arena. Most of them speculated that there must be some deep-seated grudge between Fan Qi and Duan Ling Tian for Fan Qi to choose such a battle to the death where surrendering was not an option.

In Heavenly Pool Palace, the challenger, in this case, Duan Ling Tian, did not have the right to choose the type of battle. He only had the power to reject the battle. Conversely, the person who was challenged, in this case, it would be Fan Qi, would be given the right to choose the type of battles. The types of battles were battles that would end once there was a clear winner and one was not allowed to kill one’s opponent, life-or-death battles where one was allowed to surrender, and life-or-death battles where the battles would only end once one of the two opponents was dead.

If Duan Ling Tian rejected the life-or-death battle that Fan Qi proposed, he would have to forfeit his challenge as well, making Fan Qi the winner. However, if Duan Ling Tian accepted the life-or-battle, there was no stopping it until one of them was dead. No one was allowed to intervene at all.

How could the others not be shocked by Fan Qi’s choice of battle?

“Fan Qi, you’re certain you want to a life-or-death battle with no option of surrendering?” The Sword Trial Pavilion elder was similarly shocked by Fan Qi’s choice that he instinctively confirmed again with Fan Qi that he really wanted a life-or-death battle without the option to surrender. After all, he had to be certain in matters like this. If there were any misunderstandings, he would have to bear the blame for it.

“Yes,” Fan Qi replied. Then, he continued to say in a loud and clear voice, “All our senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters can be the witnesses!”

Fan Qi’s words caused another uproar in the arena. Perhaps, some might have passed off Fan Qi’s earlier words as a casual remark. With these words, there was no more doubt about his intention.

“Duan Ling Tian, I hope you’re not only good at talking,” Han Yun Jin said before he left with Xiao Cong Yi. His gaze was brimming with disdain as though he was intentionally trying to provoke Duan Ling Tian.

Obviously, Duan Ling Tian could tell Han Yun Jin was trying to provoke him into accepting the life-or-death battle. Nevertheless, it did not matter to him. After all, he was not afraid of Fan Qi.

Hong Fei’s expression was grim as he said in a low voice, “Little Junior Brother, don’t accept the challenge.”

Hong Fei, Duan Ling Tian’s Sixth Senior Brother, was aware of Han Yun Jin’s character. Han Yun Jin was one of the top five strongest prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. If Han Yun Jin was so confident about Fan Qi, it meant that he was certain Fan Qi would win.

“Little Junior Brother, you’ll have other opportunities to fight him in the future,” Wen Wan’er, Duan Ling Tian’s Fourth Senior Sister, said with a dignified expression on her face. Among everyone present, she knew Han Yun Jin best. After all, she was truly in love with Han Yun Jin back then; the only thing was they had not taken that last step in their relationship. She knew Han Yun Jin was a cautious person and would not simply take risks if he were not certain of his victory.

“Little Junior Brother, where there’s life, there’s hope.” Even Hu Mei, Duan Ling Tian’s Third Senior Sister, who was as furious as a fire-breathing dragon tried to dissuade Duan Ling Tian from accepting Fan Qi’s challenge. Her expression was solemn when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. Although she really hated Han Yun Jin, she knew Han Yun Jin was not a simple person. Since Fan Qi had challenged Duan Ling Tian to a life-or-death battle with no option to surrender, it was clear Fan Qi wanted to seize the opportunity to openly kill Duan Ling Tian.

Ever since the incident between Wen Wan’er and Han Yun Jin, those under the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor firmly stood on opposing sides. It was not difficult for Xu Lang’s prodigious disciples to figure out why Fan Qi wanted to kill their Little Junior Brother. Their grudge aside, those under the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor just did not want another outstanding prodigious disciple among their ranks. After all, based on the strength their Little Junior Brother had displayed, it was obvious that he would not be any weaker than their Second Senior Brother in the future. In fact, their Little Junior Brother might even surpass their First Senior Sister in the future!

In conclusion, Han Yun Jin just could not stand watching someone with such great potential like Duan Ling Tian grow stronger and stronger in case Duan Ling Tian became a threat.

At this moment, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, what’s your answer? You’re allowed to reject him, but you’ll be considered as failing the challenge. If you accept, you’ll have to fight Fan Qi until one of you dies.”

For Huan’er’s sake, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian as well. “Duan Ling Tian, since Fan Qi proposed the life-or-death battle without the option to surrender, it means he’s highly confident about winning. I’m sure he has a hidden trump card. I advise you to reject him.”

“I appreciate the thought, elder,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission. Then, he disappeared into thin air before he reappeared across from Fan Qi.

With this, although Duan Ling Tian did not verbally answer the Sword Trial Pavillion elder’s question, his actions spoke clearly of his intention. He accepted the life-or-death battle with no option to surrender!

“I didn’t expect you to have the guts to accept this,” Fan Qi said with a cold expression. When he saw Duan Ling Tian teleporting into the arena, a smile that looked worse than if he were crying appeared on his face.

“I’m not Han Yun Jin, why would you think I don’t have the guts to accept the challenge?” Duan Ling Tian smiled indifferently. Earlier, he had heard from Hong Fei that Lu Ji, his Second Senior Brother, had challenged Han Yun Jin to the two different types of life-or-death battles on several occasions, but Han Yun Jin rejected all of them.

Before Fan Qi could reply, Duan Ling Tian smirked as he said mockingly, “In fact, I should say I didn’t expect you to have the guts to challenge me to a life-or-death battle with no option to surrender. I was under the impression that all of you are cowardly like your senior brother, Han Yun Jin.”

‘This brat really has a death wish!’ Han Yun Jin who was standing nearby with a gloating smile on his face froze when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. His expression turned incredibly unsightly in just a blink of an eye. He felt so humiliated he almost wished he could dig a hole to hide in when he felt the burning stares on him.

When Han Yun Jin returned his gaze to Duan Ling Tian, his eyes flashed with killing intent. Then, he sent a Voice Transmission to Fan Qi; his voice was cold and furious. “Fourth Junior Brother, end it quickly! I don’t want him alive for a second longer.”

“Don’t worry. He’ll surely die!” Fan Qi replied confidently, clearly assured of his victory.

Duan Ling Tian stared at Fan Qi indifferently, clearly not intimidated by Fan Qi at all. So what if Fan Qi was a Celestial Plant that was highly talented and had high comprehension skills? Moreover, Fan Qi had probably only gained a human form roughly 300 years ago. If he was afraid of someone like this, how could he continue on his journey? How could he save his wives, Ke’er and Li Fei, his family, and friends in the Divine Offering Land?

At this moment, Fan Qi said nonchalantly, “Duan Ling Tian, I’ll give you ten breaths to say your last words before I attack. Once I attack, you’d have 20 seconds to live at most before you die.”

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Pool Palace disciples were still shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s appearance in the battle ring.

“This means Duan Ling Tian accepts the life-or-death battle, right?”

“He seems very confident of his victory…”

“Confident? So what if he’s confident? Isn’t Fan Qi confident as well? Otherwise, would he have chosen a life-or-death battle?”

“A death duel between two prodigious disciples… It has been a while since this happened in the Heavenly Pool Palace, right?”

“Back then, Lu Ji, the second disciple of Xu Lang, the Verdant Praire Celestial Emperor, challenged Han Yun Jin, the first disciple of the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor as well. However, Han Yun Jin rejected the challenge.”

While the spectators discussed among themselves, Xu Lang’s three prodigious disciples only smiled wryly.

“Why is Little Junior Brother so headstrong?” Hong Fei said, slightly exasperated.

At this moment, Wen Wan’er glanced at Huan’er. She discovered that Huan’er was as calm as usual as though she was not concerned about Duan Ling Tian at all. She could not help but ask, “Sister Huan’er, aren’t you worried?”

Hu Mei turned to look at Huan’er with a complex expression. Her Little Junior Brother’s lover should be the most worried at this moment, but she seemed completely fine.

“Why should I be worried?”

Wen Wan’er, Hu Mei, and Hong Fei were dumbfounded when they heard Huan’er’s reply.
