Peerless Battle Spirit

...As the disciples of the Middle Continent were busily departing...

...In the Southern Continent, in an ancient residence of a rural town...

A young man pushed the door open and rushed into the room. He opened the wrapping cloth in his hands, revealing fifty-three Primary Stones within it.

It was everything he had managed to get from his sister after trying his best to convince her.

“Senior, I’ve only got this much...If you don’t mind, I’ll start the process.” The young man said cautiously as he crushed the Primary Stones into pieces and sprinkled them onto the human-shaped stone. A while later, the stone began to emit a faint glow as if it were covered by a layer of crystals.

“Thanks.”

The voice of the human-shaped stone answered.

Following this, the surface of the stone was filled with the fourth, fifth, and sixth cracks. As the number of cracks reached eighteen, the young man only saw a flash when he heard a soft explosion. He then saw a figure appearing in the residence.

The young man could feel his heart racing as he stared with his eyes open wide. He immediately saw a white-shirted young man standing in front of him, whose figure was encapsulated by a grey aura. His eyes were extremely deep as if they were able to devour a person whole.

The young man was none other than Qin Nan, who had drifted across the Southern Continent while comprehending the saber art as a stone.

“I’m finally out.” Qin Nan murmured as he stretched his body.

Over the month of comprehending the saber art, there were a few times where he was almost convinced that he was a mere stone as his mind was on the verge of crumbling. Luckily, he was able to react in time and avoid the danger.

Either way, the outcome was still good for him.

He had currently mastered the Sky-Desolating Saber Art, which was considered one of the strongest saber arts in this world.

“I shall inspect my body first. That guy did say that I’d receive great benefits after comprehending the saber art. I have to see if he was lying to me...”

Qin Nan’s Divine Sense entered his own body before his lips curled upward into a smile.

Among his nine Martial Trees, his Destruction Martial Tree had reached a height of eight zhang, while the other eight Divine Battle Trees had grown to a height of six zhang. As such, his overall strength had improved significantly.

Furthermore, the nine Martial Trees were also surrounded by white mist with a desolation aura.

The auras were essential to execute the saber art.

“Mm? Due to the presence of these auras, my cultivation is concealed, making me look like an ordinary person.”

Qin Nan raised his eyebrows.

His current aura was completely ordinary. If he were not the actual owner of his body, it was most likely that his left eye of the Divine God of Battle would be unable to peek through the desolation aura and determine his actual cultivation.

However, it was beneficial for him too, as many people would lower their guard due to this aura.

“In terms of the time, a month has passed since the Monarch Ranking has changed. That means today will be the start of the Monarch Horoscope Contest. I should probably make my way back to the Dragon Emperor Clan at once...”

Qin Nan mumbled to himself.

“Se...senior?”

The stunned young man asked upon collecting his thoughts.

“Where are we now? Which direction should I head to if I want to go to the Middle Continent?” Qin Nan asked.

“Uhh, to the north. Just continue to the north and you will reach the Middle Continent. Senior, are you leaving? If that’s so, I can help you contact the wagon...” The young man said intimidated as he struggled to make his mind.

Where was the reward?

Did the senior forget it? Should he remind him?

Why can’t I detect any cultivation from him? Is it because his cultivation is too powerful?

“Mm, thanks for your help. Take this scroll.” Qin Nan let out a smile and threw a scroll into the man’s hands.

“Thanks, senior!” The young man was overjoyed.

However, as soon as he received the scroll, following a huge bang, the door of the residence was knocked open by a large force.

A hollow laugh could then be heard.

“Yo, so this is where you’re hiding. Hand over the Primary Stones you owe for the month. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a good lesson!”

The young man’s face became pale instantly.

Qin Nan turned around and saw three cultivators, each possessing a cultivation of the peak Martial Ancestor Realm.

“Mm? Who are you?”

The three intruders immediately discovered Qin Nan’s presence, but they were relieved when they did not detect any sign of cultivation from him.

“I’ll help you to settle this before I leave. I’m not in the mood to kill. See this badge? Now, be gone.” Qin Nan waved his hand and threw the badge in the air.

The badge symbolized the presence of the Southern Continent’s Chen Clan.

It was something that Chen Changli had given Qin Nan, which he had simply put inside his Sumeru Ring.

To his surprise, the three took a glimpse at the badge and burst out laughing.

“HAHAHA, where did this idiot come from? A mere ordinary human trying to scare us off with a badge, and ask us to be gone? Brothers, let’s help the two loosen up their bones!”

The trio wore a twisted expression as they unleashed their Martial Ancestor Realm auras.

The young man standing beside Qin Nan wore an even paler face. He did not expect the mysterious powerful senior was actually this useless.

Qin Nan’s gaze became cold.

At that instant, a huge roar was heard coming from the sky.

“Stop it at once!”

The suppression of the Martial Dominator Realm could be sensed coming down from above, as a middle-aged man wearing a fiery armor arrived with sharp eyes.

“Elder...Elder Chen!”

The three cultivators and the young man were astounded.

Although Elder Chen’s cultivation was only at the Martial Dominator Realm, his status in the clan was well-respected, as he was a disciple of the Southern Continent’s Chen Clan!

The Chen Clan was considered one of the biggest authorities of the Southern Continent!

Elder Chen cast a cold glance at them as he scanned his surroundings. His eyes flickered when he saw the badge, “Where did you get this badge?”

He had rushed his way there after sensing the presence of the Chen Clan.

“The badge?” The trio and the young man were stunned.

“Elder Chen, right? This kid has done me a favor. Please tell Chen Changli to take good care of him.” Qin Nan said calmly as his figure disappeared with a kick.

Since someone that knew about the badge had arrived, his help would no longer be needed.

“Chen Changli?”

Elder Chen was startled. Why was the name so familiar?

After pondering for a moment, his expression changed tremendously as his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Wasn’t Chen Changli the current National General of the Royal City?

Elder Chen subconsciously lowered his head and took a closer look at the badge. Following a glimpse, the astonishment in his eyes grew even thicker.

The badge...

Could it be the legendary Honorable Badge of the Chen Clan?

Anyone with this badge was able to control an army of a hundred thousand people of the Chen Clan!

Even Chen Clan had only seen the badge from distance once, but he never thought he would see it here again!

The three cultivators felt uneasy watching Elder Chen’s reaction. Did this mean that ordinary-looking man was actually some great authority?

“Elder...Elder Chen?” The young man with the pale face asked.

“Ki...kid...no....cultivator, you’re about to rise into the sky!”

Elder Chen said with a trembling voice before he looked at the three cultivators with a cold gaze.

The faces of the three cultivators became pale instantly.
