Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 661 - 633: Ten Moves

He got back into his car, but this time it was his ninety million Ferrari. The more expensive the car, the better, at least much faster than that old Mercedes.

Lin Tian floored the accelerator and, with his divine driving skills, the Ferrari shot off like a rocket. Rather than saying it was driving too fast, it was more like flying too low.

In just one hour, he arrived in Tianhai City.

Today, Fairy Zixia and the others were very happy. After a big feast in the town, they had just finished, and a few women were cleaning up the leftovers.

Lin Tian approached one of the women and asked, "Fairy Zixia, where are Duke Chu and the others?"

"They've just been carried back, blind drunk. What's up, if you have something, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. They won't be waking up today," the woman answered clearly.

"Ah!"

Lin Tian sighed, with a kick he shattered a rock with his foot.

His anger startled the woman, who quickly scampered away.

Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu were out of the question, Lin Tian decided not to seek them out and went to find Duan Sandao himself.

He was in a rush; he refused to believe that in such a big, broken town, he couldn't find Duan Sandao.

"Uncle Duan."

"Uncle Three Swords."

"Duan Sandao."

"Uncle Sabre."

...,....

Lin Tian shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to find Duan Sandao and ask for his help.

After searching for several hours, it was already one in the morning. Lin Tian's throat was hoarse from shouting, having turned the small town upside down with no sign of Duan Sandao.

Checking the time, even if Lin Tian did find Duan Sandao, chances were that he would be asleep. Ordinary people would get upset if they were woken from their sleep, let alone Duan Sandao, such a formidable person.

"Let's rest for now, tomorrow I'll mobilize everyone in town to search together," Lin Tian muttered.

All night, Lin Tian tossed and turned, unable to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, the images of He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, Shen Mengyi, and Chen Lihui haunted him. He spent the whole night in worry and fear, barely sleeping at all!

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Lin Tian went to find Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu.

His men had already reported Lin Tian's situation to them, so as soon as they woke up, without even washing their faces, they came directly to find Lin Tian.

The three of them met halfway.

Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu were anxious for Lin Tian. While the Celestial General could certainly cooperate with Lin Tian, the issue of Duan Sandao was indeed troublesome.

With no other choice, the three could only rouse the whole town to search for Duan Sandao.

"Uncle Duan."

"Brother Sabre."

"Duan Sandao."

...,....

Over a thousand townspeople searched the not-too-large Lingyue Town the entire morning, conducting a carpet search, but, mysteriously, there was no trace of Duan Sandao to be found.

It was understandable for Lin Tian alone to not find Duan Sandao, but for over a thousand people searching together and still not finding him was truly bizarre.

It could only mean that Duan Sandao did not want to show up, did not wish to provide assistance.

Lin Tian was drenched in sweat as over a thousand people sat under a big willow tree looking at each other, not knowing what to do next.

Fairy Zixia and Duke Chu also sighed. They were truly worried for Lin Tian, but without Duan Sandao's appearance, they had no solution.

What to do?

Lin Tian was caught in a dilemma.

If he couldn't find Duan Sandao and rashly took the Celestial General and Jian Cangsheng to the Li Family, then, in case the Li Family had a master of the Half-Step Fusion Realm holding fort, everyone could be doomed.

No, that was too risky.

But if they didn't go to the rescue, He Qianqian and the rest would truly die.

What to do?

What exactly should be done?

Ask for help from the Dragon Emperor, from the masters of Jian Cangsheng and Huo Shaotian.

No, they were all prominent figures. If they stepped in, it would represent their Sects taking action, and then it wouldn't just be Lin Tian's conflict with the Li Family. It could escalate and even start a war.

They could not be asked for help, and even if asked, they would not help.

Just as Lin Tian was at a loss and caught between a rock and a hard place.

He had gone to great lengths to find Duan Sandao, who unexpectedly showed up on his own.

"He's here."

"He really came."

"He came on his own."

...,...

The crowd was abuzz, all with astonished expressions.

We were all searching for you just now, almost turning the ground upside down to find you, and you did not appear; now that we've stopped looking, here you come bouncing out. What's the meaning of this, playing with us?

The crowd parted, creating a path for Duan Sandao, who walked slowly towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian saw him and was overjoyed, as if seeing a savior.

He hurried over.

"Uncle Dao, I...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Duan Sandao made a hand gesture, stopping Lin Tian.

He spoke, "Marquis Ouyang saved my life. In repayment of this kindness, I guarded the Tianxia Alliance in Lingyue Town for him."

"I aim to achieve the strength of the Fusion Realm. Worldly matters have nothing to do with me. I remain in Lingyue Town simply to repay the grace of Marquis Ouyang."

"I'm recuperating here, waiting until I attain the strength of the Fusion Realm, and then I will leave."

"But I am aware of my limited talent. The Fusion Realm seems to be just a step away, yet also as distant as divine retribution."

"Thus, I must find someone, someone to help me attain the strength of the Fusion Realm!"

Duan Sandao looked meaningfully at Lin Tian, who understood the implication; the person Duan Sandao was seeking was Lin Tian himself.

Lin Tian only had the strength of the Mirror Condensation Realm, yet Duan Sandao firmly believed that Lin Tian could help him. Ultimately, what he valued was Lin Tian's potential.

Duan Sandao continued, "The path of martial arts is about killing or being killed. I have reached my current level of strength, and my hands are already stained with blood, so I do not consider myself to be a good person."

"In my actions, I value fairness. It's not impossible for you to ask for my assistance, but you must agree to one condition."

"Please speak!" Lin Tian said with great seriousness.

"Some day, when you have sufficient strength, you must help me attain the strength of the Fusion Realm. This is my condition."

Lin Tian was about to nod in agreement, but Duan Sandao stopped him.

"Young man, when making promises to others, you must think thrice before you act. If you cannot fulfill a promise, it would be to the detriment of both you and me."

After saying this, he deliberately touched his knife, implying a threat.

"I promise!"

Lin Tian nodded solemnly and continued.

"I've only met Marquis Ouyang and Fairy Zixia twice, yet I still assisted the Tianxia Alliance. If you hadn't taken action yesterday, I would already be dead. Do you still doubt me?"

At this moment, Fairy Zixia quickly stepped forward. "Lin Tian's credibility is absolutely reliable. Whatever he promises to someone, he will fulfill it without fail. His word is as good as gold."

Duan Sandao nodded and looked at both Lin Tian and Fairy Zixia. "Fine, if Lin Tian forgets me one day, I will personally come to take both of your lives!"

Both nodded gravely, expecting Duan Sandao to agree right away, but, to their surprise, he posed a difficult challenge to Lin Tian instead.

"Lin Tian, you have notable strength, and everyone has witnessed it. But I also want to test you to see if you can really help me."

"How will you test me?" Lin Tian asked.

"It's simple. Withstand my ten moves. If after ten moves you can still stand, I'll help you."

Ten moves?

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian let out a long sigh, and Fairy Zixia, Duke Chu, along with the thirty-six Celestial Generals, all shook their heads silently, their eyebrows knotted in concern.

Duan Sandao, a peak Half-Step Fusion Realm expert, and Lin Tian, a peak Mirror Condensation Realm expert.

The further one progresses in cultivation, the harder it is to advance, and the gaps between levels grow ever wider.

Within the same realm, the strength disparity can be hundreds of times. Let alone a half-step in level; if a Half-Step Fusion Realm expert were to strike with full force, even with one move, Lin Tian would be unable to withstand it, even at the expense of his life.

Ten moves was far too many.

Too difficult!

It seemed beyond human capacity to withstand.

Lin Tian had already become the first in eternity to kill a stronger Mirror Condensation Realm expert with his Half-Step Mirror Condensation strength.

But to withstand ten moves from a Half-Step Fusion Realm expert was a hundred times more difficult than killing a more powerful Mirror Condensation Realm expert.

"Huh...!"

Lin Tian exhaled a turbid breath deeply.

With no other choice, he nodded.

There was indeed a vast difference between the Half-Step Fusion Realm and the Mirror Condensation Realm. Both Lin Tian and Duan Sandao understood this fact.

It was clear that Duan Sandao saw great potential in Lin Tian and intended to rely on Lin Tian's power in the future to attain the strength of the Fusion Realm; thus, he had no intention of killing Lin Tian.

Lin Tian guessed that Duan Sandao would likely conceal some of his strength and suppress his cultivation in order to fight him.

However, this was just Lin Tian's speculation. Only Duan Sandao knew the specifics of how he would execute the ten moves.

Withstanding his ten moves was going to be hard.

But still, that saying remained.

Without trying, how would one know the outcome?

Without making an effort, how could one claim to have failed?
