"Come." Duan Li beckoned towards them.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The twins dashed forward with breaking speed from two opposite direction. One was coming towards Duan Li from the front, while the other was coming from the back.
Impressive!
From Duan Li's observation with his Soul Sense, the pair had charged forward with the exact same speed and momentum, their breathing synchronized down to their core!
Unless one was an expert with countless years of experience, such perfect synchronization is but impossible. However, this duo in front of him right now were doing just that, and perhaps this was because they were twins or blood-related, but who actually knows how they did it.
With just a single breath, they have closed the distance of more than 5 meters away in an instant. Right now, the one at the front was using a bare-handed chop from the left, akin to a sharp blade aiming at his neck, while the other was also doing the same chopping motion, coming from the back on his right side by the ribs.
A pincer attack!
Smiling, Duan Li casually stepped back with his left foot, and his right foot suddenly arched backwards, creating a donkey back kick!
Ooffff!!
The one at the back managed to block this surprise counter-attack from Duan Li by using his left hand, but the sudden impact still ran through his body and the strong force caused him to be pushed back three steps.
At the same time, Duan Li swiped at the incoming chop from his front-left with his left hand. His palm slid down from the forearm to the wrist of the opponent's arm like a snake.
Grab!
Twisting his left foot clockwise while turning his body, he borrowed the momentum and weight of this person to throw the other party to the back by grabbing at the wrist.
Whoosh!
The man lost his balance for a while but did a somersault in mid-air to adjust himself and landed safely on the ground, right beside his little brother.
Formidable!
Just from this exchange alone, they could tell that the martial art of the other party was not a joke at all, and the rumors were indeed true!
Their encounter only lasted for a single breath, but their joint attacks had been successfully countered at the same time and his little brother was even dealt with a blow and he himself was thrown over!
"Such kinds of moves would take years of experience to master. Not bad!" the big brother thought to himself, amazed.
"But we too, have our own experiences as well!" he continued as his eyes gleamed.
He then looked at his little brother as they both nodded. Soon, both of their aura was reined in even further, close to their body until it was only about 1 cm from them. But now, their disposition had changed entirely. If previously they were like a pair of blades, now they were like a pair of glistening sharpened blades.
Oh? Finally serious eh?
Duan Li remarked as he noticed this qualitative change in their aura.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two dashed forward once more, but this time, both were coming from the front. However, the weird thing was, their dash was now even slower than before.
In fact, this couldn't even be considered a dash made by cultivators, but running towards him at normal speed, just like how the mortals did it.
At the sight of this, Duan Li focused his sense onto their feet. His eyes narrowed as he noticed something.
"Their momentum increased dramatically with each step they took!" he exclaimed as he took a step back to distance himself.
But this realization was a step too late.
After their fifth step, their figure immediately turned blur. This was a unique innate gift of their bloodline.
'Immaterial Shadow Body!'
Due to their lines of work that had went on for several centuries, their continuous practice of concealment art religiously every single day had unknowingly changed their very essence.
This was because back then, their clan was very strict on their members, and this immense pressure had finally resulted in evolution of their bloodline.
Thus, every single one of their offspring right now possessed this innate ability that can turn their body into an immaterial figure, and thus the name of their ability.
As this was an innate ability and not a skill art, they were not violating the rules that Duan Li had just spoken before. Even the latter seemed to had realized this as there were no fluctuations to the spiritual Qi in the surrounding when they used this.
Because of this unique state they were in, every single move they made was extremely hard to decipher. The constant blurring gave them the advantage of being able to change their technique mid-way that can caught their opponents off-guard.
In other words, a punch might turn out to be a palm attack, while a chop might turn out to be a finger attack and vice versa.
Strike!
BAM! BAM!
Their increased momentum from before had added an even more advantage to them. Their strikes were heavy by at least three folds each, but it also seems like their speed had dropped a little bit as well, and it was only because of this that right now Duan Li was able to see their attacks and defend against them.
BAM! BAM!
The twins attacked at Duan Li relentlessly and they were now using multiple attack patterns and style to confuse the latter as well.
If one were to kick, one would try to grab. And if one were punch, the other would try to kick him. However, even if these combination attack were impressive, in the end, it was just that.
Against someone else, their tactics might've worked flawlessly, but he was someone with many cheat abilities that he could deploy at any moment now.
For example, if he were to just drop his stance at this moment, the time delay ability of his would definitely kick in and their attacks would be as good as a still statue to him.
Although this was something that he had yet to tested out, because it was way too dangerous back then, and he did not dare to play with his life. But, he was sure that it would be that way if he actually tried.
And even if he did not use that time delay ability, given a few more breaths, the analysis of their whole combat pattern by his brain would soon be finished. By then, he would be able to deal with them easily.
However, he did not want for the twins to be discouraged or crushed when they lost against him, which would be if he did that, and was thus the reason why he gave them the chances of 20 moves to defeat him.
This way, not only it would cause them to revere his martial arts and capabilities as a Lord, they would even try improve their skills further so that they could win against him in the future!
BAM! BAM!
...
Soon they had used up all twenty moves against Duan Li, and finally stopped attacking.
The older brother sighed, "You really are formidable, to think that even our combined assault with our bloodline ability activated, we still couldn't win against you, this is a first!"
"In fact, it even seemed to us that you were still holding back from showing your true prowess! Not too arrogant and not too straightforward as well. These are the kind of qualities that we are looking for in a Lord! We would definitely want to give our loyalty to you!" he continued.
Hearing this, Duan Li chuckled for a bit, he already had guessed this much from them, and this should be their main goal for challenging him.
He couldn't help but to recall his past self that was dull compared to now. He didn't know when he started to change like this though, but ever since coming to this academy, he had already encountered numerous kinds of people and even accepted a disciple at that!
Through his interactions with them, his experience and the memories from another timeline slowly integrating with him, and the responsibility he holds as a Lord right now had changed his disposition slowly without him knowing.
Only now did he realized, that he had truly begun to change.
"I guess, change is inevitable for me." he said to himself as he shook his head.
He looked at them and smiled, "Well, you guys haven't yet to introduce yourselves to me."
"Ah! I am the older brother Wei Shang, and this here is my little brother Wei Wang. I think you could already guess from our appearance but yes, we are twins! Furthermore, we came from the Wei clan!" the older brother called Wei Shang said.
Duan Li nodded as he heard their names. He then turned to the little brother.
"Wei Wang, I believed I haven't yet to heard you speak about anything since arriving here. Do you share the same thoughts as your older brother?" Duan Li asked him as it was bugging at his mind since the beginning.
Only the older brother liked to talk so much, while the little brother was just so quite that it was eery for him.
Thus, he hoped that with this question, he could bring the other party to talk, but to his surprise, the latter just nodded!
"Umm.. my little brother could not speak.. he is mute.." Wei Shang explained as he scratched the back of his head.
Oh? No wonder!
With this unexpected realization, Duan Li apologized to Wei Wang as he then said, "You both had proven yourself to me, but I will give you two about two days time to think about this. If you still insist to serve under me, then fill this in and submit this recruitment application form to Shen Lu tomorrow."
"After two days time, I can only promise you two that you would be shortlisted among the many. There would be duels between shortlisted applicants and it didn't matter if one would win or lost, I would give the final verdict myself."
"Until then, you two would just have to prove yourself once more. After all, today's fight was quite limited to showcase your full capabilities, don't you guys think so?" Duan Li continued as he handed down the application form to them.
Hearing this, both Wei Shang and Wei Wang nodded. If they were able to use their many skill arts, perhaps Duan Li would be more convinced of what they could really do!
"Thank you! Even though we are still lacking, I hope you won't insult us again next time!" Wei Shang scratched his head again, joking.
Insult?
Seems like these two were still not convinced they got caught by a chicken!
"Cucko! Come out now!" Duan Li spoke out suddenly.
Swoosh!
A tough looking chicken immediately bolted forward to stood beside him.
"Do you guys believe me now?" Duan Li chuckled.
When the twins saw this chicken, they couldn't help but for their eyes to open wide and their mouths agaped.
It really is a chicken!
How did we not managed to sense its presence before?!
Right now, their entire horizon was being shattered as they were forced to see beyond it.
A true master of concealment art!

CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
_Ram_
_Ram_ Hello guys, please do consider becoming a patron of mine. Otherwise, as much as I loved writing and releasing chapter everyday, this is not sustainable for me, and sooner the release speed would drop as I took other jobs to get my life going. For just as low as $10 per month, you can support this novel going on for a long time.
Best Regards,
Author.
