<h4>Chapter 3637: Hong Jun</h4>


    Ding Yan was arrogant, but Duan Ling Tian knew that did not mean Ding Yan was an evil person. Hence, not only did he spare Ding Yan’s life, but he had also held back, causing Ding Yan to only suffer minor injuries.


    Although Duan Ling Tian looked calm outwardly, he felt chills running up his spine when he saw the way Ding Yan was behaving. Why was Ding Yan whining like a little girl? It made him shudder to see a grown man acting like a little girl.


    While the crowd was still in shock, Duan Ling Tian asked Chu Feng Yang, “Teacher Chu, can I upy the primitive-grade courtyard now?”


    Chu Feng Yang nodded. “Yes. You’ve defeated Ding Yan, after all. You’ll be moving to the second primitive-grade courtyard immediately.”


    There were 20 primitive-grade courtyards altogether. Despite sharing the same cultivation environment, they were given numbers.


    Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “Teacher Chu, I hope you’ll be able to arrange for me to challenge an upant of a mediocre-grade courtyard soon. I don’t care about my opponent’s strength as long as he and she can ept the challenge as soon as possible. I want to move to the prominent-grade courtyard as quickly as possible.”


    Although Duan Ling Tian’s strength had exceeded everyone’s expectations, they still felt skeptical. Although he could definitely upy a mediocre-grade courtyard with his strength, he would be average among the upants of mediocre-grade courtyards at most. Not only were the upants there intermediate gods who hadprehended four double Fused Profundities, but they also possessed bloodline powers. Most of them were 3,000 years old and were about to graduate from the Hidden Fog Academy. Naturally, they did not know that these upants, none who hadprehended the Four Supreme Laws, were no match for Duan Ling Tian in terms of innate talent andprehension skill.s


    “You want to challenge the next person as soon as possible?”


    The teachers and the students of the Hidden Fog Academy were shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, their eyes quickly shifted to two figures: a middle-aged man dressed in a blue long robe and a young man dressed in a long white robe.


    ‘Are they students staying in mediocre-grade courtyards?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as he looked at the duo.


    One of the men said, “Duan Ling Tian, I would like to challenge you, but I’m on the brink of breaking through so I have to return to cultivate now. If you want to battle with me, you’ll have to wait until I leave my closed-door cultivation. It’ll take about one month.”


    As soon as the man finished speaking, he left without a word.


    Then, the other man said, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m not strong enough to fight you at this moment. You’ll have to wait until I’m stronger.”


    With that, the man left as well.


    The other Ten Stars students could not help but chuckle when they saw the duo leaving in a haste.


    “Cowards! They knew they’re no match for Duan Ling Tian so they came up with suchme excuses!”


    “It’s not surprising! After all, they’re only slightly stronger than Ding Yan. As those who rank bottom among the upants of the mediocre-grade courtyards, they know they’re no match for Duan Ling Tian.”


    “I really didn’t expect a monstrous talent like him would appear in the Hidden Fog Academy!”


    “I wonder if Duan Ling Tian possesses bloodline power as well. If he does, he stands in defeating the top three strongest upants among those living in the mediocre-grade courtyards.


    “That’s right. The trio is more than strong enough to stay in the prominent-grade courtyards. It’s unfortunate they did note from a powerful sect or n. It’s unfortunate that they can only stay in the mediocre-grade courtyards.”


    Even the teachers, including Chu Feng Yang, were speechless.


    Chu Feng Yang looked at Duan Ling Tian with a wry smile and said, “I’m afraid the upants in the mediocre-grade courtyards are too afraid to challenge you. Your only option is to challenge the trio.”


    “I’m fine with that…” Duan Ling Tian nodded.


    At this moment, Teacher Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian and chimed in, “I’ve sent a message to Hong Jun. He’s a Ten Stars student living in the mediocre-grade courtyard. He’s happy to ept the challenge and wille immediately if you agree to it. What do you think?”


    Chu Feng Yang nodded. “Duan Ling Tian, Hong Jun is one of the three strongest among those who upy the mediocre-grade courtyards. If you’re in a hurry, you can do as Teacher Yuan said.


    Duan Ling Tian looked at Teacher Yuan, whose name was Yuan Lei, with a smile. “I’ll have to trouble you then, Teacher Yuan!”


    Yuan Lei could not help but frown. Why did it sound like he was doing Duan Ling Tian a favor? He had nned to use Hong Jun to humiliate Duan Ling Tian. He was naturally unhappy that Duan Ling Tian had defeated Ding Yan.


    Hong Jun was also one of the Ten Stars students who had a good rtionship with Yuan Lei. He was ranked fifth among the Ten Stars students. It was unfortunate that the upants of the prominent-grade courtyards all obtained their courtyards due to their background, Hong Jun could only stay in the mediocre-grade courtyard. After all, let alone Hong Jun, even Yuan Lei did not dare to offend those from the prominent-grade courtyards.


    After a moment, Yuan Lei said to Duan Ling Tian, “He’ll arrive soon.”


    Amotion broke out when it was confirmed that Duan Ling Tian would be facing Hong Jun soon.


    ‘Hong Jun…’ Liu Jin’s expression turned grim as he hurriedly said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “Senior Brother Duan, Senior Brother Hong Jun is the fifth strongest among the Ten Stars students in the Hidden Fog Academy. Heprehended thew of fire and hasprehended four double Fused Profundities as well.”


    After the match, Liu Jin had also changed the way he addressed Duan Ling Tian. After all, the cultivation world was a ce where the strong were revered.


    “Moreover, he possessed the Tsunami Vein that suits thew of water very well. It’s said that when he cast his bloodline power and thew of water, his attack is alreadyparable to a triple Fused Profundity.”


    ‘His attack has the force of a triple Fused Profundity?’


    After a moment, Duan Ling Tian replied, “Thank you for the reminder, Liu Jin. You don’t have to worry so much about me.”


    Upon seeing how calm Duan Ling Tian was, Liu Jin wondered if Duan Ling Tian had hidden his real strength again. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian possessed a bloodline power as well.


    “Senior Brother Duan…”


    At this moment, another voice rang through the Voice Transmission in his mind. The person warned him about Hong Jun just like Liu Jin did.


    Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he found the Voice Transmission was from Ding Fang whom he had just defeated. With this, his impression of Ding Fan improved slightly.


    Ssh! Ssh! Ssh!


    The silence was broken by the sounds of waves crashing against the shore. Soon enough, amidst the waves in the sky, a young man dressed in a long blue robe emerged. He was a handsome young man with slender brows who wore a perpetually aloof expression on his face. His back was straight, and his posture was arrogant.


    Meanwhile, the eyes of the Ten Stars students lit up upon seeing the blue-d young man. The way they idolized the blue-d young man reminded Duan Ling Tian of the fangirls on earth.


    At this time, Yuan Lei said with a smile, “You’ve arrived.”


    “Yes,” Hong Jun replied tonelessly as he nodded.


    Yuan Lei did not seem put off by Hong Jun’s disrespectful behavior. After all, this was how Hong Jun was. He had connections with Hong Jun through some of Hong Jun’s n elders.


    Yuan Lei looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “He’s the genius under the age of 2,800 whom I mentioned earlier. Heprehended four double Fused Profundity and defeated Ding Yan with a strike.”


    At the same time, Hong Jun nodded at the other teachers before he shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian..
