Qin Xiao had not only known Qin Nan but was also extremely
familiar with him.
In the past, Qin Nan was the Qin Clan's number one genius, hence
Qin Xiao used to respectfully fawn over Qin Nan. At that time, Qin
Nan's impression of Qin Xiao wasn't bad at all, he even regarded him
as a brother!
However, Qin Nan had never thought there would be a day where
Qin Xiao would actually shatter his door and spit out threats.
At present, Qin Nan had already known why. His status as a waste
caused the relationship between him and Qin Xiao to turn hostile.
Qin Xiao raised his head in extreme arrogance, "My objective for
today's visit is simple. Hand over your Body Tempering Pills.
Don't try to lie to me, I've already known that you received
ten Body Tempering Pills."
Following his words, he came to a stop before revealing a hint of
disdain, "Qin Nan, don't blame this brother for being
merciless, you are currently a waste. The Body Tempering
Pills are completely useless on you, you might as well give it
to me."
Anger filled Qin Nan as he burst into laughter, "And if I don't
give it to you?"
As Qin Xiao heard this reply, his arrogant expression changed into
a cold one, "Qin Nan, if you don't hand it over today, then don't blame me for being impolite! Even though I have yet to
begin cultivating, my Martial Spirit is still of third-grade
Huang ranked!"
The long sword hovering behind him suddenly flew out, the sword
aura flickered with an imposing chill.
"Qin Xiao, it seems like you are planning on severing our
relationship." Qin Nan's complexion was tranquil. Despite the flying
long sword, he was not even slightly fearful! "The Body Tempering
Pills have already been used by me, you may leave now," said
Qin Nan in an indifferent manner.
Following his words, Qin Nan sighed furtively as he closed his eyes.
Qin Nan naturally felt angry as he saw Qin Xiao's conceited
manner. If this had happened in the past, then Qin Nan would have
already made his move, however, Qin Nan thought about his former
relations with Qin Xiao and ultimately decided not to attack.
Qin Xiao's complexion changed as a murderous aura surged from
his body, "Qin Nan, I'm giving you face but you don't accept it.
Today, I'll let you know the disparity between a third-grade
Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a first-grade Huang ranked
Martial Spirit!"
As he spoke, the long sword behind Qin Xiao emanated a buzzing
sound. It glimmered with a cold light as it fiercely chopped towards
Qin Nan.
Originally, Qin Xiao didn't want to make his move. This wasn't due
to their former relationship, but it was due to the fact that Qin Nan
was the Young Lord of the Qin Clan. His background caused Qin Xiao
to feel quite apprehensive.
However, Qin Xiao had never imagined that, even though Qin Nan
had become trash, he unexpectedly dare to make it problematic for him. Qin Nan was simply too reckless.
"Qin Nan, this is your own fault!" Qin Xiao's face revealed a
sardonic smile. He was able to envision the appearance of the former
aloof and solitary number one genius, Qin Nan, suffering and
moaning as he begged him to spare his life.
"You're courting death!"
Qin Nan could no longer bear it anymore, the anger within his
heart erupted as he roared. His roar was akin to thunder.
He stro
Low-class Martial Skill, Collapsing Fist!
Within this instant, the sardonic smile on Qin Xiao's face
immediately abruptly froze. He was dumbstruck.
Qin Nan's cultivation had actually reached the first-layer of Body
Tempering realm?
An ear-piercing explosion resounded as he was in thought. The
long sword was unable to resist Qin Nan's fist and was sent flying.
The long sword quivered with a buzzing sound as the sword's aura
had turned incomparably bleak.
"Agh….." A miserable shriek immediately echoed from Qin Xiao.
His Martial Spirit had received a severe impact, hence it was only
natural that Qin Xiao's body also suffered an injury.
Qin Nan's face was cold and detached as he gazed at the scene,
"Tell me, who's the waste?"
"You…. you…. you…" Qin Xiao clutched his chest, his complexion
was incomparably pale. He gazed into Qin Nan's eyes once again, but
there was no longer arrogance, instead, there was fear and
astonishment. "How were you able to break through to the first-layer of Body Tempering realm? You only have a first-
grade Huang ranked waste whereas I have a third-grade
Huang ranked Martial Spirit. I haven't even broken through!
Yet, how have you?!"
Qin Xiao was simply unable to accept the truth which was laid
before his eyes.
He had awakened a third-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and
had been bitterly cultivating for the past few days. He had even used
a Body Tempering Pill, yet he still hadn't broken through.How could
Qin Nan have broken through?
"I've already said this before, the Body Tempering Pills
have already been used by me." Qin Nan's gaze swept past Qin
Xiao with indifference, "Get lost!"
These two words were like a pardon. Qin Xiao frantically tried to
leave the courtyard without caring about the pain on his body, he
didn't dare look back.
He originally thought he could finally bully Qin Nan by relying on
his third-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, but he had never thought
that Qin Nan had already broken through.
Qin Xiao didn't dare to imagine what else Qin Nan would do to him
if he stayed behind.
The large courtyard finally became peaceful and quiet after Qin
Xiao had left. Qin Nan stood in his original position for a while before
he sighed furtively. Soon after, he quickly returned to his completely
tranquil state.
As far as Qin Nan was concerned, if someone showed respect to
him, then he would likewise show respect to this person. Towards
people like Qin Xiao, a person who bites the hands of those who fed
him, a person who relied on their strength to bully others, Qin Nan could only feel regret. He no longer regarded him as a brother.
If he were to meet Qin Xiao again in the future and he hadn't
repented, then Qin Nan would not show mercy.
"It seems like I won't be able to cultivate anymore for
today." Qin Nan glanced at the shattered door of the courtyard and
forced a bitter smile as he shook his head. He did not want others
seeing him release the Divine Battle Spirit.
Qin Nan did not want to reveal the secret of the Divine Battle Spirit
at this moment.
"Since I can't cultivate anymore, then I might as well go to
the Martial Skill Pavilion. This time, I am able to enter the
second floor!"
Qin Nan's eyes glimmered with excitement.
Ever since he was young, he had always had a special interest in
Martial Skills. This was the main reason as to why he had mastered
ten different Martial Skills at the age of thirteen and created a Sword
Technique at sixteen.
The Collapsing Fist that he had used today was one of the Martial
Skills he learned when he was thirteen years old.
In the past, Qin Nan had yet to awaken his Martial Spirit which was
why he was only able to enter the first floor of the Martial Skill
Pavilion and could only study low-class Martial Skills, he was simply
unable to cultivate higher Martial skills. Now that he had awakened
his Martial Spirit and his cultivation had achieved the first-layer of the
Body Tempering realm, he naturally had the qualifications to enter
the second floor.
As Qin Nan pondered, he could no longer stay put and swiftly
walked towards the Martial Skill Pavilion. The Martial Skill Pavilion was classified as a forbidden area within
the Qin Clan. Not only were you not allowed to cause trouble within
the Pavilion, you were also not allowed to use Martial Arts
when inside. If one were to break the rules, then they would forever
lose the qualifications to enter the Pavilion.
The Martial Skill Pavilion of the Qin Clan had four floors, the first
floor stored the low-class Martial Skills. The second floor stored the
middle-class Martial Skills whereas the third floor stored the high-
class Martial Skills. It's told that the fourth floor stored Supreme-
class Martial Skills, it was the treasure of the Qin Clan. Even Qin
Changkong, who was the number one genius of the Clan, was not
qualified to enter.
However, whether this rumor was true or not remained unknown.
When Qin Nan arrived at the Martial Skill Pavilion, there were not a
single shadow to be seen in the surrounding area. The former lively
place filled with noise and excitement turned completely desolate.
However, this was well within Qin Nan's expectations. After all, the
second floor of the Martial Skill Pavilion was only available for those
who have reached the first-layer of the Body Tempering Realm.
Only a short period of time had passed since the disciples of the
Qin Clan had awakened their Martial Spirits. Those who broke
through to the first-layer of Body Tempering realm within these few
days were very few in number.
As Qin Nan approached, the old man with gray hair sitting within
the Martial Skill Pavilion was startled before asking, "Qin Nan, why
have you come??"
Qin Nan naturally knew of this gray-haired old man, they even had
a good relationship. He immediately cupped his hands and replied,
"Elder Ying, the purpose of this little one's visit today is to
enter the second floor of the Martial Skill Pavilion."
"The second floor of the Martial Skill Pavilion?" Elder Ying
was startled before coldness gradually filled his face, "Qin Nan, just
because we have a good relationship doesn't mean I will
allow you to enter the second floor. If you want to enter the
second floor, then your cultivation would have to reach the
first-layer of the Body Tempering Realm!"
After he had spoken, Elder Ying thought about the matter of Qin
Nan becoming a waste from a genius and promptly spoke earnestly
with good intentions, "Qin Nan, although you've only awakened
a first-grade Martial Spirit, you shouldn't despair. As long as
you put in effort…"
As Qin Nan heard this, he wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. He
immediately walked towards Elder Ying, his palm grabbed onto the
table and a dent in the form of five fingers appeared on the surface.
"You….." Elder Ying was startled once again, he asked in an
astonished manner, "Your cultivation has broken through to
the first-layer of Body Tempering realm?"
Qin Nan didn't respond to Elder Ying, instead, he only revealed a
smile before turning around and entering the Martial Skill Pavilion.
Left behind was Elder Ying who was filled with astonishment for a
long period of time.
As Qin Nan passed through the first floor of the Martial Skill
Pavilion and entered the second floor, his eyes shone slightly.
Standing erected on the second floor of the Martial Skill Pavilion
were eight big mahogany pillars supporting the floor. There were also
a few white jade tables, and on top of these tables laid a few ancient
books.
Qin Nan promptly walked over and just as he was about to pick up
a book, an abrupt voice full of shock sounded, "Qin Nan?"
Qin Nan subconsciously turned his head around and noticed a
youth wearing a white long gown inlaid with gold standing not too far
away. His face was filled with astonishment as he gazed at Qin Nan.
Seeing this youth, Qin Nan was slightly startled, followed by an
indifferent voice saying, "I didn't think that you would also be
here."
Qin Nan was also very familiar with the youth in front of him. His
name is Qin Yu, and he was Qin Xiao's elder brother. He had also
awakened a fourth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, hence he was
classified as a genius-class existence within the Qin Clan.
However, the fact that caused Qin Nan to become speechless was
the fact that he didn't imagine that after he beat up the little brother,
he would encounter the older brother.
When Qin Yu noticed Qin Nan, his face revealed a hint of ridicule as
he remarked, "Who would've thought that your insignificant
first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, this kind of trash,
was unexpectedly able to reach the first-layer of the Body
Tempering Realm. It seems like the effects of the ten Body
Tempering Pills given to you by the Patriarch was not bad at
all."
As he mentioned the ten Body Tempering Pills, Qin Yu's heart
turned sour. Although he had awakened a fourth-grade Huang ranked
Martial Spirit, he only received three Body Tempering Pills a month, it
was not even half of what Qin Nan received.
As a result, Qin Yu couldn't help but mock Qin Nan when he
noticed him.
Qin Nan looked at him indifferently before replying, "The effects
were indeed not bad at all. Not too long ago, I beat your little
brother using the strength of a first-layer Body Tempering
Realm." As Qin Nan spoke, Qin Yu's complexion turned stiff.
