Chapter 33 - Journey to the Sec (1/2)

t

Without further ado, under Bai Heng’s supervision, the people of the Fang Clan and Qin Tieba’s group forfeited their cultivation and left Lingshui City.

Following this, news about the series of events that had happened in the Mystic Spirit Sect Disciples Recruitment Ceremony were spread throughout Lingshui City.

The whole city exploded.

The famous number one trash Qin Nan was a top genius, with a legendary eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, instead of trash?

The Fang Clan—one of the top two clans—had been wiped out, making the Qin Clan the real force of Lingshui City?

There was no doubt that each outcome had shocked everyone; the whole city was shocked.

...Three hours later, in the Conference Hall of the Qin Clan...

Qin Tian was in the main seat, with Xiao Qingxue and Bai Heng to his side. Below them were the remaining disciples of the Qin Clan and Qin Nan.

Qin Tian’s face was fully red, as if he was extremely drunk, when he said, “Who could have thought...who could have thought that I, Qin Tian, have a genius son…”

Tie San and the disciples were not bothered by it; the excitement on their faces showed no sign of disappearing.

In their view, what happened today was too unreal, as if they were all having a dream.

Initially, Qin Tian, Tie San, and the disciples had anticipated the fall of the Qin Clan, and their own deaths. Beyond their expectations, Qin Nan’s sudden appearance like a Divine Battle God had ended up turning the tables around!

Not only that, it was unimaginable what kind of future awaited the Qin Clan.

Xiao Qingxue, who was sitting at the side, let out a gentle smile after hearing the words. Then—after something came to her—she asked curiously,“Oh right, Qin Nan, didn’t they mention that your Martial Spirit was just first-grade Huang ranked? What’s really happening?”

Xiao Qingxue’s question had caused Bai Heng, Qin Tian, Tie San, and the others to perk up their ears and look at Qin Nan excitedly.

It was evident that Xiao Qingxue had asked the same question that they were curious about.

How had Qin Nan turned from a first-grade Huang ranked trash into an eighth-grade Huang ranked genius?

Qin Nan let out a smile—as he had thought of an excuse for it—and said, “When I was young, I was struck by a lightning. When this happened, a special technique appeared in my mind. This technique does not have any uses apart from being able to conceal my Martial Spirit’s grade. That is why the Martial Spirit they saw during the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony appeared to be a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit!

“Concealing a Martial Spirit’s grade?”

The crowd came to an understanding, surprisingly without further doubts.

There was such a thing as good fortune and there were many mysterious things to be discovered in this world. To find such a special technique after being struck by a lightning was not impossible at all.

Furthermore, they were unable to come up with any other explanations apart from this one.

To find the unowned Divine Battle Spirit drop from the sky—which has the capability of levelling up its grade some more—was extremely unbelievable.

“Does that mean your cultivation was not improved due to any special circumstances, but was a result of your practice?” Qin Tian asked suddenly.

“Yeah, I did not stumble upon any good fortune—it was all from my practice.” Qin Nan nodded his head, and continued with an apologetic tone, “I stumbled upon Fang Xue in the Longhu Mountain Range; that’s how I learned about the Fang Clan’s evil plot, and came up with a plan to keep my Martial Spirit a secret… I hope you all can understand the reason I did this.”

“Not a problem.” Bai Heng immediately answered, “Junior Brother Qin’s talent is remarkable, who cares about the insignificant Fang Clan? I, Bai Heng, have made a mistake this time after being tricked by the people of the Fang Clan. If Junior Brother Qin had told me beforehand, I would have eliminated the Fang Clan straightaway, without a second word.”

While Bai Heng was apologizing, he did not forget to secretly flatter Qin Nan too.

Qin Nan responded with a gentle smile.

Qin Nan tended to hold grudges; thus, despite Bai Heng’s flattering words, Qin Nan would still deal with him when the time came.

“Qin Nan, now that you’ve become an outer disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect, there’s something I have to remind you of.” As she switched her expression into a serious one, Xiao Qingxue continued, “In two days’ time, you need to have finished everything you need to do. Then, you’ll follow me to the Mystic Spirit Sect, as time is running out.”

When he heard this, Qin Tian immediately replied, “There’s no need to wait another two days. Qin Nan, you will leave tomorrow and follow Elder Xiao toward the Mystic Spirit Sect. Don’t you worry, no one would dare to offend the Qin Clan now!”

After finishing this sentence, a proud expression appeared on Qin Tian’s face.

Tie San and the other disciples nodded their heads in agreement, with proud expressions on their faces too.

In Lingshui City—or even in the whole Luo River Kingdom—who would dare to go against the current Qin Clan?

Qin Nan took a deep breath, and said in a serious tone while looking at Qin Tian, Tie San, and the disciples, “If that’s the case, I’ll not stay any longer. Father, Uncle San, you guys, take care of yourselves. Once I’ve joined the Mystic Spirit Sect, I promise to visit you guys whenever I have the time!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian, Tie San, and the others let out grateful smiles.

With Qin Tian having Qin Nan as his son—with the Qin Clan having a genius like Qin Nan—how could they be not satisfied?

“It’s decided then. You should give the two elders a tour around our Qin Clan.” Qin Tian said, while waving his hand. Since Qin Nan had just become a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect, it was necessary to build a good relationship with Xiao Qingxue and Bai Heng.
