4588 Sparring
“Since the first person to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda was rewarded, the second person probably was rewarded as well, right?” Feng Qing Yang speculated out loud as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian thought about someone, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He had thought about Zhao An Yi, the Saint of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. Back then, Zhao An Yi had come to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda with Meng Han. At that time, he had told Zhao An Yi that he could also use the main entrance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, but Zhao An Yi said he had no plans of entering the pagoda yet.
Meanwhile, Meng Han said to Feng Qing Yang, “Indeed. The second person was also rewarded.”
Meng Han told Feng Qing Yang that Lei Hong and Fang Yi Fan from the Three Upper Worlds had visited him before he said, “The duo was the second and third person to enter the pagoda respectively. The second person to enter was Fang Yi Fan, and as a reward, the difficulty of the tests was reduced by 20%. As for Lei Hong who entered third, the difficulty of the tests was reduced by 10%. However, after passing the tests, they were not rewarded with an additional Heaven Protection Talisman.”

Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang continued listening to Meng Han.
“The tests in the pagoda aren’t easy. When I spoke to Lei Hong, he also said that he found it very difficult to pass the tests. As for Fang Yi Fan, he found the tests slightly easier. After all, he had a 10% advantage compared to Lei Hong.”
Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang also learned from Meng Han that as far as he knew, the three of them were the only ones who had successfully obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman so far. Lei Hong and Meng Han were from the Myriad Worlds, and Meng Han was the only one from the Outer Boundary to have obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman so far.
“In any case, I’ll like to congratulate you, Old Meng,” Duan Ling Tian said as he raised his teacup and toasted Meng Han with tea in place of wine, “From now on, you’ll be the strongest person in the Outer Boundary.”
Meng Han raised his teacup as well and laughed before he said modestly, “It’s only temporary. I know the limit of my strength. There are still a dozen or so people who were on par with me in the past in the Outer Boundary. When they break through, I’m not completely certain I’ll be able to defeat them.”
The trio continued chatting for a while before Meng Han revealed the second reason for his visit.
“After breaking through, I felt rather peerless. Currently, I’m truly peerless in the Outer Boundary. When I thought about both of you, I found myself eager for a sparring session. Apart from thanking both of you, I also came to spar with both of you. What do you think?” Meng Han asked with bright eyes.
“Oh?” Duan Ling Tian said, slightly surprised, “Old Meng, it seems like you’re very confident about your strength. Are you going to challenge the two of us at once?”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Meng Han was so frightened that he spat out the tea in his mouth.
Feng Qing Yang reacted quickly and evaporated the tea so that it did not land on him and Duan Ling Tian.
Meng Han said with a hint of sullenness, “When did I say I want to challenge the two of you at once? I naturally plan to spar with you separately.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Meng Han had just broken through, he was confident that he was not any weaker than Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang. However, fighting the two of them at once was nothing more than a fool’s errand. He did not have any confidence at all in fighting the two of them at once.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he looked at Feng Qing Yang and asked, “Master, do you want to fight Meng Han or should I go first?”
“I’ll go first,” Feng Qing Yang said as he rose to his feet. He smiled faintly before he continued to say to Meng Han, “Old Meng, my disciple has long surpassed me. If you can’t defeat me, then there’s no need to waste your time sparring with him.”
Meng Han’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing these words. However, when he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s profound comprehension of the Sword Dao and Limitless Dao, he did not doubt Feng Qing Yang’s words at all. Then, he said, “Even so, I still want to spar with him. After all, even if I lose, I can at least see the gap between us.”
For almost 10,000 years, Meng Han did not spar with anyone. He had been preoccupied with healing his injuries and preparing for the next Heavenly Tribulation. Now that he had survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation after entering the Forbidden Realm and becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse, there was no doubt that he would survive his next once-in-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. With his current strength, he could live for tens of thousands of years or even 100,000 years.
“Old Meng, let’s spar,” Feng Qing Yang said. He was also very eager to fight Meng Han. He volunteered to go first because he was worried that Meng Han would not be in a state to fight after fighting Duan Ling Tian first. He could not wait to fight Meng Han. After all, when he sparred with Duan Ling Tian, he was completely defeated by Duan Ling Tian. This was not surprising because Duan Ling Tian was not only skilled in the Sword Dao, but Duan Ling Tian was also skilled in the Mastery Dao and the Limitless Dao. Unlike the laws where one could only use one law at a time, the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth did not have such a restriction. Coupled with the doppelganger of the law, Duan Ling Tian’s strength was even more terrifying. Just like Duan Ling Tian, his doppelganger could use the Sword Dao, Mastery Dao, and Limitless Dao as well. How could he possibly stand a chance against Duan Ling Tian?
They left the independent space to spar to prevent damage to the space, which was a part of Feng Qing Yang’s Little World, and found an abandoned space to spar in.
Then, Duan Ling Tian watched as his master and Meng Han fought.
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang in the air as Meng Han took the lead and attacked first. He was like a ferocious beast as he pounced toward Feng Qing Yang. The sounds of explosions rang in his wake as lightning flashed in the sky.
