Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"It's Gongsun Wu Ji's voice!"

Some people in the crowd who recognized Gongsun Wu Ji's voice cried out immediately.

In just a brief moment, a figure dressed in a long black robe appeared in front of everyone's eyes. He was handsome and possessed a pair of piercing eyes. With just a flash, he appeared above the Azure Green Mansion's base, across from Duan Ling Tian. He looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and asked, "You're Duan Ling Tian?"

"Gongsun Wu Ji?" Duan Ling Tian returned Gongsun Wu Ji's gaze. His fighting spirit soared at this moment. Ever since he had obtained the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, his strength had improved tremendously. He was no longer the same person who entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm last month. It was due to his recent improvements that he had confidently waited outside the Azure Green Mansion's base. He wanted to accumulate more points here. When he had left the middle realm to check the scoreboard, he had seen that Gongsun Wuji had accumulated 513 points and was ranked 2nd. Apart from that, he wanted to fight Gongsun Wu Ji so he could test his improved strength.

"You better ask whoever you've joined forces with to come out now. You alone are no match for me..." Gongsun Wu Ji smiled at Duan Ling Tian frostily. Although he had not spoken to Ximen Hao Xuan, he had learned from an Azure Green Mansion inner court disciple about Duan Ling Tian's strength and shortcoming. Therefore, he knew Duan Ling Tian's attack was formidable, but his speed was slow.

"I have no helper; it's just me this time around," Duan Ling Tian said lightly, "We haven't even fought, don't you think it's too early for you to conclude that I'm no match for you?"

"Just you?" Gongsun Wu Ji's smile deepened as killing intent flashed in his eyes. "It seems like you came here to seek death today!"

"It'll depend on whether you're capable of killing me." Duan Ling Tian's narrowed eyes glinted coldly when he saw the killing intent in Gongsun Wu Ji's eyes. With this, he decided not to hold back in his upcoming fight with Gongsun Wu Ji.

Gongsun Wu Ji sneered. "I only need ten breaths to kill you." As soon as he finished speaking, his long black robe fluttered in the air as a green energy surged out of his body. Based on this, it was obvious that he had comprehended the law of wind.

His body seemed to flicker as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

At the same time, a wall of wind blades swept toward Duan Ling Tian as well.

Gongsun Wu Ji was so fast that most of the people present on the scene could not catch his movements at all.

"Gongsun Wu Ji must have comprehended all of the movement profundities from the law of wind. Otherwise, it'd be impossible for him to be so fast!"

"I've only heard about how powerful he is, but I've never seen him in action. Thanks to Duan Ling Tian, I finally have a chance to see Gongsun Wu Ji fight!"

The disciples from the other grade-six Celestial Mansions who had gathered outside the Azure Green Mansion's base were astonished by Gongsun Wu Ji's speed; they were in awe. Based on his speed, it was not difficult to tell he had comprehended all the movement profundities from the law of wind.

'It seems like Gongsun Wu Ji is even faster than Wan Qing Qing. Most importantly, it seems like even Ximen Hao Xuan is slightly slower than him,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Gongsun Wuji possessed the fastest speed among all the opponents he had encountered in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Duan Ling Tian was aware that if he had met Gongsun Wu Ji last month, he would not be able to restrain Gongsun Wu Ji even with Wan Qing Qing's help. The law of wind was not only known for its speed, but it was known for its attacks as well. Therefore, Wan Qing Qing would not have been able to hold Gongsun Wu Ji back. This was the advantage that Ximen Hao Xuan who had comprehended the law of destruction did not have. However, this did not mean Ximen Hao Xuan was weaker than Gongsun Wu Ji. Gongsun Wu Ji and Ximen Hao Xuan both had their strengths and weaknesses. The duo had fought many times in the past, but their fights would always end in a draw.

When Gongsun Wu Ji was almost upon him, Duan Ling Tian vanished from where he was standing and reappeared about 100 meters away.

The crowd exclaimed in excitement upon seeing this. It was their first time seeing the law of space's Teleportation Profundity, after all. The law of space was one of the Four Supreme Laws and was known to be notoriously difficult to comprehend. In the Southern Heaven Territory, there were only a few people who had comprehended the law of space. Even then, they had only comprehended the Space Elemental Profundity and other profundities from the law of space. Those who had comprehended the law of space's Teleportation Profundity were as rare as a phoenix's feather.

"The Teleportation Profundity!"

"It's the law of space's Teleportation Profundity!"

"There's no trace of his movements at all! He really teleported."

"The Teleportation Profundity allows one to move through space. It's only natural that there are no traces of movements."

Meanwhile, Gongsun Wu Ji scoffed. He was not surprised that Duan Ling Tian had cast the Teleportation Profundity. He shifted direction and continued to charge toward Duan Ling Tian again. Once again, he left afterimages in his wake again as he moved at a higher speed.

Gongsun Wu Ji was only inches away from Duan Ling Tian when Duan Ling Tian teleported away again.

The crowd broke out in cold sweat when they saw how close the two opponents came to colliding.

A disciple from a grade-six Celestial Mansion said, "Indeed, the law of space's Teleportation Profundity is remarkable! However, it can't be used in quick succession. If this continues, it won't be long before Gongsun Wu Ji catches Duan Ling Tian. In fact, in my opinion, Gongsun Wuji would catch Duan Ling Tian before Duan Ling Tian even has a chance to cast the Teleportation Profundity for the third time."

At this time, Gongsun Wu Ji's laughter rang in the air. "Two breaths have passed. I want to see how you're going to dodge my next attack!"

Gongsun Wu Ji's words stirred up the Azure Green Mansion disciples in the base. They cheered excitedly and asked for him to kill Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious they had overflowing confidence in Gongsun Wu Ji.

"Senior Gongsun Wu Ji, kill him!"

"Senior Gongsun Wu Ji, kill Duan Ling Tian!"

"Senior Gongsun only needs three breaths to kill Duan Ling Tian!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Gongsun Wu Ji continued to leave afterimages in his wake as he cut across the sky toward Duan Ling Tian who had appeared 100 meters away.

At this moment, most of the people present on the scene, including Gongsun Wu Ji, were certain Duan Ling Tian would not be able to escape from Gongsun Wu Ji this time.

However, similar to earlier, before Gongsun Wu Ji's attack could land, Duan Ling Tian disappeared from where he was standing again.

'Impossible!' Gongsun Wu Ji abruptly came to a halt. His indifferent expression finally showed cracks. After a brief moment, he discovered Duan Ling Tian had reappeared 50 meters away instead of 100 meters.

The crowd was briefly stunned speechless before they broke out in an uproar.

"It's the law of space's Transportation Profundity!"

"Duan Ling Tian has comprehended the law of space's Transportation Profundity!"

"With his cultivation base, coupled with his comprehension of the law of space's Teleportation Profundity and Transportation Profundity, Duan Ling Tian is undoubtedly part of the first-tier Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Speed-wise, he's on par with Wan Qing Qing."

"I thought he joined forces with Wan Qing Qing last month because of her speed. However, it seems like he's as fast, or almost as fast, as her..."

"Perhaps, he joined forces with her because he needed someone to help him restrain his opponents?"

"Since when did he comprehend the Transportation Profundity?" Wan Qing Qing was similarly shocked. She knew very well that Duan Ling Tian only had a basic grasp of the law of space's Transportation Profundity last month. Otherwise, he could have easily eliminated her after eliminating Heng Feng last month.

"It seems like he has comprehended the Transportation Profundity before entering the middle realm this month… No wonder he's so bold as to wait outside of the Azure Green Mansion's base!" Heng Feng sighed. Since he was eliminated twice by Duan Ling Tian, nobody knew Duan Ling Tian's strength as well as he did. It seemed like he already knew the outcome of the battle as he muttered to himself, "Even if he has comprehended the Transportation Profundity, he's still slower than Gongsun Wu Ji. If he doesn't escape now, it's only a matter of time before Gongsun Wu Ji catches up to him. However, I'm afraid before Gongsun Wu Ji has a chance to catch up, he won't be able to withstand Duan Ling Tian's attacks!"
