Xiao Mu Bai’s Strength

“Eldest Senior Sister, you’re overpraising me. I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. Then, he glanced at Xiao Mu Bai and Zhang Shan, who were standing at the side, before he continued to say, “After the sparring session is over, I’ll catch up with all of you.”

“Alright,” Huangfu Meng Yuan said with a nod. She had also come this time to watch the fight between Xiao Mu Bai and Zhang Shan who was previously from the Transcendence World. After all, it was not common to see a fight between World supreme powerhouses. At the very least, she had never seen a fight on that scale before.

“Lord Duan, we’re not in a hurry. You can catch up with your seniors first,” Zhang Shan said modestly.

After all, not only was Duan Ling Tian powerful, but Duan Ling Tian had also saved Zhang Shan’s life before. He was naturally willing to wait for Duan Ling Tian.

Xiao Mu Bai nodded and chimed in, “That’s right. The fight can wait.”

“No, it’s fine. We’ll catch up later,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Following that, the supreme powerhouses also returned to their original positions. Although they were listening to Duan Ling Tian catching up with his seniors, they did not forget the purpose of their visit, which was to watch a battle between World supreme powerhouses.

To preside over the fight, Duan Ling Tian allowed Xiao Mu Bai and Zhang Shan to enter an area that he had specially prepared in his Little World. He also allowed the others to enter to watch the fight.

Since Duan Ling Tian was present, everyone did not have to worry about being affected by the fight so they could move closer to clearly watch the fight. However, due to the duo’s quick movements, many of them still could not see the fight properly. After all, apart from a few elderly Lords of the God Defying World, Huangfu Meng Yuan was the only other imminent World supreme powerhous present on the scene.

Apart from that, those at the fourth level or above could also easily watch the fight. As for the others, they could not see much and could only sense the terse atmosphere. They could only see Xiao Mu Bai and Zhang Shan’s afterimages moving at a ridiculous speed.

“Lord Xiao adapted so quickly!”

Since the Lords of the God Defying World were imminent World supreme powerhouses, they, along with Huangfu Meng Yuan, could see the fight clearly. As such, they had much more insight than the others. Earlier on, they could tell that Xiao Mu Bai was at a disadvantage, but as time passed, Xiao Mu Bai began to slowly gain the advantage. After exchanging a hundred moves, he was finally on equal footing with Zhang Shan.

Although the duo did not use doppelgangers to fight because it was not a life-or-death battle, Zhang Shan still felt greatly pressured. Apart from Duan Ling Tian, there was also a group of supreme powerhouses watching him. It would be embarrassing if he lost to a new World supreme powerhouse.

As time passed, Xiao Mu Bai continued to adapt and slowly gained the upper hand. It was then that Zhang Shan contemplated using his doppelganger. However, before he could make up his mind, Xiao Mu Bai suddenly stopped moving and said with a big smile, “Brother Zhang, let’s count this a tie today. Thank you for helping me familiarize myself with my new power.”

A hint of gratitude could be seen in Zhang Shan’s eyes when he heard these words. He knew that Xiao Mu Bai was giving him a way out and saving him from embarrassment.

Duan Ling Tian was the only one who realized this. Even Huangfu Meng Yuan and the other imminent World supreme powerhouses thought Xiao Mu Bai really fought to a draw with Zhang Shan. Nonetheless, they were still shocked by Xiao Mu Bai’s strength. As soon as he broke through, he could already fight to a draw with Zhang Shan, who had been a famous World supreme powerhouse in the Three Upper Worlds for many years.

Although Zhang Shan was not the strongest World supreme powerhouse in the Three Upper Worlds, he was still very famous in the Three Upper Worlds and the 18 Middle Worlds. As such, all of the supreme powerhouses in the God Defying World had heard of him before.

The imminent World supreme powerhouses and the level-four supreme powerhouses on the scene could not get enough of the fight and wished to watch another fight between the two. Alas, who knew how long they would have to wait to watch another fight again?

At this moment, a few Lords of the God Defying World congratulated Xiao Mu Bai.

“Congratulations, Lord Xiao, on having such strength despite just breaking through. You’re a blessing to the God Defying World!”

At the same time, they looked at him enviously and sent private messages through Voice Transmission.

“Lord Xiao, can you ask Lord Duan to give us some guidance when you have the time?”

The reason why Xiao Mu Bai broke through so quickly was due to his superior talent, but the imminent World supreme powerhouses also knew that it was impossible for him to break through so quickly if he only relied on his talent. One of the reasons for his swift breakthrough was Duan Ling Tian. Since the two were close, he naturally had some special advantages. He could ask questions and discuss the Dao with Duan Ling Tian frequently.

“I’ll do what I can,” Xiao Mu Bai said, not daring to promise them anything. After all, he also felt embarrassed when he sought advice from Duan Ling Tian. Although he had helped Duan Ling Tian in the past, he felt that Duan Ling Tian had long repaid the favor. Currently, he felt that he owed Duan Ling Tian more.

Xiao Mu Bai also knew that he still needed guidance from Duan Ling Tian. After all, his goal now was to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman. After that, he would strive to enter the realm of level-seven supreme powerhouses and fulfill his father’s wish.

For all these reasons, Xiao Mu Bai could only mention this matter to Duan Ling Tian to help these few people. Ultimately, the decision lay with Duan Ling Tian.

“Everyone, I’ll be leaving with my seniors first,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod to Xiao Mu Bai, Zhang Shan, and the others before he left with Huangfu Meng Yuan and the others, returning to the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction.

Xia Jie and Xia Yu, on the other hand, returned to the Xia clan with the clan’s supreme powerhouse.

…

When they arrived at the Myriad Laws Academy and the Inner Palace faction, no one was the wiser.

Lang Chun Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously with her big eyes as she asked, “Junior brother, you and your master are both level-seven supreme powerhouses. Is either of you stronger than the other or are you both on par with each other?”

Lang Chun Yuan had long wanted to ask this question, but Huangfu Meng Yuan had been staring at her so she did not dare to speak until now.

“Our strength is roughly the same,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. He naturally had to be considerate of his master.

‘Hmm?’

While Duan Ling Tian was chatting with his seniors, he suddenly discovered something. He was briefly distracted by it. Something had happened in the Divine Offering Land, but the doppelganger from the law of time he left at the Xia clan could handle the matter. His son, Duan Nian Tian, had come looking for him for help.
