Chapter 4117: Wang Yun Sheng's Ambition

As a top prodigy and a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, Wang Yun Sheng was naturally arrogant. How could he not be moved by Hong Li's suggestion? If he could kill Duan Ling Tian on his own, no one would dare to question his ability anymore. At this time, it was not only the students of the Myriad Laws Academy who questioned his ability, but there were also some members of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation who questioned his ability after news of him refusing Duan Ling Tian's challenge to fight a life-or-death battle spread. The members of the congregation also accused him of humiliating the congregation and said that he was not worthy of his title as a Holy Son of the congregation. It was naturally impossible for him to pay no mind to them.

'If I join forces with Hong Li and the others to kill Duan Ling Tian, no one will think that I'm stronger than Duan Ling Tian. If he dies today, I won't have a chance to prove myself any longer and change people's minds. Hong Li is right. The only way for me to redeem myself now is to kill Duan Ling Tian on my own. If I really can't kill him, I'll admit it. At that time, Hong Li and the others will step in.'

Up until now, Wang Yun Sheng still did not think that Duan Ling Tian was truly stronger than him. He was more inclined to believe that Duan Ling Tian was only trying to intimidate him by challenging him to a life-or-death battle or that Duan Ling Tian was blindly and foolishly confident about his own strength. His beliefs were further strengthened when Duan Ling Tian challenged the five of them to a life-or-death battle. After all, with their combined strength, they could kill any of the top prodigies below the age of 10,000 in the Profound Energy Land in the Palace of Death. Their opponents would only have a chance of avoiding death if they possessed superior speed and were in an open space.

"Senior Brother Hong Li, we'll do as you say. Please tell the other senior brothers about this. Let me fight Duan Ling Tian alone when the Bell of Death rings. If I manage to kill him, the four of you will be handsomely rewarded as a token of my appreciation," Wang Yun Sheng said through Voice Transmission.

"Junior Brother Yun Sheng, you're being too polite," Hong Li said, "We should help each other out since we're on the same side..."

After that, Hong Li spoke to the other three. They naturally agreed with Hong Li. All of them would be affected if Wang Yun Sheng fell into a disadvantageous situation. As such, they were sincere about helping Wang Yun Sheng. Moreover, Wang Yun Sheng was one of the candidates in the running to be the next Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. If Wang Yun Sheng succeeded, they would definitely benefit greatly. Their status would rise along with his.

The other three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sent Voice Transmissions to Wang Yun Sheng to reassure him, hoping Wang Yun Sheng would not feel too pressured.

"Junior Brother Yun Sheng, we'll watch over you closely. Even if you're at a slight disadvantage, we'll step forward and join forces with you immediately to kill Duan Ling Tian!"

"Junior Brother Yun Sheng, you can make your move confidently! If you can't kill him, we'll help you!"

Wang Yun Sheng naturally expressed his gratitude after listening to their Voice Transmissions. He felt greatly reassured, and his gaze when he looked at Duan Ling Tian turned even sharper than before.

Duan Ling Tian noticed Wang Yun Sheng's subtle change, but he did not know the reason for the change.

Time continued to pass, but the Bell of Death had yet to ring.

The crowd began to grow more and more impatient.

"The bell should ring by now, right?"

"It's almost 15 minutes since they entered the arena. Why is the bell not ringing yet?"

"I heard the bell will only ring 15 minutes after the opponents enter the arena..."

"15 minutes are almost up..."

"Hey, how long do you think Duan Ling Tian will be able to hold on?"

"If Wang Yun Sheng and the others join forces as soon as the battle starts, I'm afraid Duan Ling Tian won't even last more than three breaths."

Many students began to speculate among themselves as they waited for the battle to start. They wondered how long Duan Ling Tian would be able to hold on before he died. In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian was no different from a dead person now.

Since there was no noise-canceling Formation, Duan Ling Tian naturally heard the discussions in his surroundings. However, he was not affected by the crowd's negativity.

Soon after...

Dong!

The bell rang, and its sound reverberated in the Palace of Death. Although it was not loud, the crowd jolted when they heard the sound. Then, they shifted their eyes to the arena only to discover Wang Yun Sheng had already made a move while the other three moved to the side. Clearly, Hong Li and the others did not intend to make a move immediately. They were slightly surprised by this.

"Wang Yun Sheng is attacking alone?"

Someone exclaimed, "I know what's happening! Wang Yun Sheng is hoping to kill Duan Ling Tian without any help to prove that he's stronger than Duan Ling Tian!"

"If he can kill Duan Ling Tian on his own, no one will question his ability anymore! He doesn't have to worry since Hong Li and the others will help him if he's not a match for Duan Ling Tian."

"Do you think Wang Yun Sheng is capable of killing Duan Ling Tian without any help?"

"I don't think so. Although everyone thinks Duan Ling Tian is too arrogant and will definitely die fighting five of them at the same time, Duan Ling Tian is very strong as well. Moreover, he has to be very confident about his strength to propose such a challenge. Wang Yun Sheng might not be a match for him individually."

"I beg to differ. In my opinion, Duan Ling Tian is not only arrogant, but ignorant as well!"

In the arena, Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he saw Wang Yun Sheng making a move while the others moved to the side. When he heard the conversation in his surroundings, he thought to himself, 'Wang Yun Sheng hopes to redeem himself? If he can't, the others will help him? Does he think I'm a pushover?'

Duan Ling Tian found Wang Yun Sheng ridiculous. He smiled contemptuously as his eyes glinted coldly.

Swoosh!

When Wang Yun Sheng drew close, Duan Ling Tian flashed and vanished from his spot.

"Teleportation?" Wang Yun Sheng sneered. "Where do you think you can teleport to in this arena?"

Wang Yu Sheng turned and flew toward where Duan Ling Tian had just appeared.

At the same time, Hong Li said to the other three through Voice Transmission, "Duan Ling Tian has comprehended the Double Teleportation Profundity. Later, if he teleports for the second time, we'll seize the chance and surround him."

The trio nodded, agreeing with Hong Li. All of them felt that even if Wang Yun Sheng was no match for Duan Ling Tian, it would not be a problem for Wang Yun Sheng to hold on until they stepped in. It did not matter that they were standing at the other end of the arena.

Meanwhile, the crowd began to discuss among themselves again.

"Duan Ling Tian will definitely use the Double Teleportation!"

"I've heard of the Double Teleportation before... Prior to Duan Ling Tian, it's said that the person who comprehended the Double Teleportation the fastest did so when he was a rudimentary Emperor of Gods!"

"Duan Ling Tian is just an intermediate Lord of Gods, but he has comprehended the Double Teleportation. He's terrifying."

"I've never seen a Lord of God using the Double Teleportation Profundity! Even if Duan Ling Tian dies, I'll still be amazed by that feat. I hope I can see him use it before he dies!"

Most of the people present were certain Duan Ling Tian would use the Double Teleportation Profundity. After all, not only would he have more time to launch a counterattack, but he could also exhaust Wang Yun Sheng's Divine Energy slightly.

Wang Yun Sheng sneered as he flew toward Duan Ling Tian, "Duan Ling Tian, do you only know how to run away?"

When Wang Yun Sheng was fast approaching Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and said, "If you don't like it, I'll stop running away."

Duan Ling Tian teleported away again as soon as his voice fell.

As everyone expected, Duan Ling Tian used the Double Teleportation Profundity.

"Get ready to surround him if the need arises," Hong Li reminded the other three through Voice Transmission as he swept his gaze across the arena, waiting for Duan Ling Tian to reappear after casting the Double Teleportation Profundity.
