Almost as soon as Tu Feng died, Wu Feng Yin, the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, had received Voice Transmission notifying him of Tu Feng's death. Initially, he did not believe it. However, after receiving a few more Voice Transmissions, he had no choice but to believe that Duan Ling Tian, an

advanced god, killed his disciple, a rudimentary King of Gods, even if he did not want to.

He was naturally furious. Tu Feng was the first disciple he had accepted. Although he was usually strict with Tu Feng, he regarded Tu Feng as his son. How could not be angered by Tu Feng's death?

He was almost overwhelmed by the urge to head to the Extreme Martial Arena immediately to kill Duan Ling Tian before he forcefully calmed himself down. After all, if he really killed Duan Ling Tian, he would be sentenced to death even if he was the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect.

Filled with the desire to seek revenge for his first disciple, he was naturally anxious when he learned of Supreme Elder Lei's intention to accept Duan Ling Tian as a disciple.

Supreme Elder Lei was one of the strongest powerhouses in the Hidden Fog Sect and could easily kill him with a snap of his fingers. He naturally did not dare to offend someone like Supreme Elder Lei. If he acted against Supreme Elder Lei's direct disciple, he would only be asking for trouble. Hence,

despite feeling extremely unwilling, he was ready to dismiss all ideas of revenge. After all, like many others, he had no doubt Duan Ling Tian would agree to become Supreme Elder Lei's disciples.

To his surprise, Duan Ling Tian actually refused Supreme Elder Lei. How could he not feel ecstatic? With this, he could proceed with his revenge.

'Duan Ling Tian's innate talent and comprehension skills are too high. I must find a chance to kill him to avoid future troubles. Even if I don't act against him, he won't reconcile with me. Instead of waiting until he grows stronger, I have to kill him as soon as possible,' Wu Feng Yin thought to himself as

his eyes gleamed with killing intent.

The news of Duan Ling Tian, an advanced god, easily killing Tu Feng, a rudimentary King of Gods, spread like a wildfire in the Hidden Fog Sect.

Everyone was shocked. Never in the history of the Hidden Fog Sect did something like that happen.

Following that, news of Duan Ling Tian passing the core disciples' test and becoming the first core disciple in 10,000 years spread as well.

'The Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect had personally announced the result. With that, Duan Ling Tian officially became a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.

Naturally, there were some who found it difficult to accept. They questioned the legitimacy of the result and wondered if Duan Ling Tian had cheated during the test.

However, these doubts and suspicions were washed away when it was made known that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space, the rudimentary Sword Dao, and possessed a primitive divine sword. With these, it was reasonable that he had passed the core

disciples' test.

"That kid really didn't disappoint me. My recommendations aren't in vain."

Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy in Skywind City, was delighted when he received the news from the Hidden Fog Sect. Although he was not completely confident, he had recommended Duan Ling Tian to enter the Hidden Fog Academy in advance because he had hoped Duan Ling

Tian would be the first god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years,

Unlike most people, Murong Sui Feng was aware of Duan Ling Tian's performance during the Ten Stars students' trial. Hence, he knew Duan Ling Tian was stronger than he seemed.

Meanwhile, many of the teachers in the Hidden Fog Academy had also learned about Duan Ling Tian's feats in the Hidden Fog Sect. Apart from being teachers of the academy, they were also inner and outer elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. How could they not know what was happening in the sect?

"Duan Ling Tian is truly amazing!"

"He's the first core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years! If I didn't hear

Many people didn't know what Duan Ling Tian experienced in the ten-star students trial of Hidden Fog Academy, but he did.

Duan Ling Tian was much stronger than he seemed, and that turned out to be the truth.

At this moment, all the teachers in Hidden Fog Academy also received the news as well.

On the one hand, they were teachers of the Hidden Fog Academy, and on the other hand, they were also the inner sect elders or the outer sect elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. They had their own contacts in the Hidden Fog Sect, so it was not difficult for them to know what happened there.

Naturally, once the teachers learned of it, the students also gradually learned about it.

"Duan Ling Tian is amazing."

"The first core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years! If I didn't hear this from the teachers, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"That's right! He achieved so much so soon after he left the Hidden Fog Academy! He's truly remarkable!"

Whether they knew him or not, all of them were in awe and fearful of Duan Ling Tian after hearing about his feats in the Hidden Fog Sect.

Back in the Hidden Fog Sect.

"Duan Ling Tian, you're really amazing! I'll be joining the Hidden Fog Sect soon. You must take me under your wings when I arrive!"

Duan Ling Tian received a message from Hou Qing Ning after Tang Chun led him to residence for core disciples.

Hou Qing Ning, the Young Master of the king-rank 10,000 Leaves Sect, was a Ten Stars student in the Hidden Fog Academy.

Although Duan Ling Tian did not know Hou Qing Ning for a long time, Hou Qing Ning was one of the two people he regarded as friends in the Hidden Fog Academy.

'The other person he regarded as a friend was Ding Yan.

Ding Yan was not as strong as Hou Qing Ning, but Duan Ling Tian was intrigued by Ding Yan. His curiosity was piqued because, during the Ten Stars trial, Ding Yan had told him that as long as he stayed by Ding Yan's side, the other king-rank forces would not dare to act against him due to Ding Yan's

identity. Based on these words, it could be seen that Ding Yan had a strong background. The mystery was that no one in the Hidden Fog Academy seemed aware of this.

After Duan Ling Tian settled down, he replied to Hou Qing Ning with a smile on his face, "You can look for me if you encounter any trouble in the Hidden Fog Sect. However, I'll only help you if you're not in the wrong. Otherwise, I won't care about you at all."

"Do I look like a bad person?" Hou Qing Ning asked, feigning indignance.

Duan Ling Tian laughed as he replied, "Well, I think…"

Before he finished listening to Duan Ling Tian's reply, Hou Qing Ning sighed in relief. However, he realized he had sighed in relief too early when he heard Duan Ling Tian's following message.

"I think you're a bad person…"

"You! Can't you just finish your sentence all at once?" Hou Qing Ning asked, indignantly.

"Alright, alright, I'm joking with you," Duan Ling Tian replied, "That's right. I just remembered something. Before the Ten Stars trial, I remember you said you wanted to have a discussion and sparring session with me so we can learn from each other. However, I became busy after that. When you arrive at

the Hidden Fog Sect, we can have a discussion and a sparring session."

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's reply, Hou Qing Ning, who was in the Hidden Fog Academy, shuddered.

"spar with you? Who dares to spar with a monster like you"

Hou Qing Ning hastily replied, "Hm? Did I say that? You must've been mistaken. Anyway, let's put that aside for now. There's something I want to tell you. Did you know that not long after you left the academy, Ding Yan suddenly dropped out of the academy? He didn't say anything to anyone, and I only

found out from the others that he had applied to leave the academy. I sent him messages, but I haven't heard from him. Have you spoken to him recently?"

Due to Duan Ling Tian, Hou Qing Ning and Ding Yan became acquainted and exchanged Soul Pearls with each other.

"Dropped out of the academy?" Duan Ling Tian was stunned. With that, he sent a message to Ding Yan through the Soul Pearl Ding Yan had given him. However, there was no response.

"Lhaven't spoken to him recently. I just sent him a message, but there's no response as well," Duan Ling Tian said before he asked, "Did he behave abnormally before he left?"

"No," Hou Qing Ning said with a sigh, "I'd asked my father to investigate Ding Yan, but my father couldn't find anything about Ding Yan at all. He's really mysterious. I don't know where he came from."

After Duan Ling Tian was done talking to Hou Qing Ning, he turned to ask Tang Chun, "Elder Tang Chun, can you help me contact Vice Sect Leader Murong?"

"Of course. What's the matter?"

"Can you help me ask him if he knows anything about the origins of Ding Yan, a Ten Stars student?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

Tang Chun sent a message to Murong Sui Feng, and it did not take long before he received a reply from Murong Sui Feng.

"Vice Sect Leader Murong said he doesn't know anything about Ding Yan's origin. All he knows is that Ding Yan entered the academy through the Nine Stars assessment. I've asked other people I know in the academy, and none of them knows anything." Tang Chun had clearly done his best to help Duan

Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian nodded, feeling slightly uneasy. "Ding Yan should be fine, right?"

After a moment, he calmed down, There was no point in worrying about Ding Yan now since there was nothing he could do. The most important thing was to increase his strength now. With this, if need be, he would be able to help Ding Yan in the future.

After showing Duan Ling Tian to his new residence, Tang Chun led Duan Ling Tian to register his new identity as a core disciple. He would be given a new identity token, and he would be rewarded as well. The reward had at least the value of a mediocre divine artifact.

During their journey there, he asked, "Elder Tang Chun, if there's nothing I like from the list rewards for becoming a core disciple, can I ask for something else?"

Duan Ling Tian did not think he would be interested in the rewards so he had hoped to exchange it for something else.

Tang Chun shook his head. "Under normal circumstances, that's not allowed.."
