When he saw his personal disciple was ridiculed by others like this, Ning Can's expression actually remained unchanged, and he seemed as if he'd utterly not heard these offensive words.
Of course, the reason he was able to be so composed was because he'd heard from Zi Shang long ago that Duan Ling Tian was capable of countering him.
Zi Shang naturally didn't say that the Demonseal Tablet in Duan Ling Tian's possession was capable of countering him, and he'd instead gave the same story he gave Feng Wei that day, and he said Duan Ling Tian was a Variant just like him and just happened to counter his innate ability.
No matter what, Zi Shang had admitted defeat, whereas Duan Ling Tian's first battle had ended with a victory now.
Whoosh!
