Peerless Battle Spirit

"What's happening?"

Qin Nan frowned.

Since the nine Martial Trees had combined with a piece of the Canglan Tree before, it would be reasonable if they were showing a reaction when the Ugly Crow Daoist had a piece of the Canglan Tree on her.

However, Qin Nan's ring did not show any reaction at all, which meant that she did not have any pieces of the Canglan Tree.

"There must be a reason behind it. I shall observe this Ugly Crow Daoist and see if I can learn anything new."

Qin Nan mumbled in his heart and glanced ahead.

The elegant figure had walked out from the mist. Even when wearing a relatively oversized black robe, it was unable to hide her curvy outline. Despite wearing a veil to cover her face, her physique alone had attracted the crowd's attention.

"Huh? Why is the Ugly Crow Daoist a woman?"

"Strange, wasn't she a man before?"

"Has she been using a disguise?"

The cultivators were confused.

"It begins now."

The Ugly Crow Daoist ignored the comments from the crowd and declared.

Several whooshes could be heard as the cultivators flew forward and handed her two thousand God Stones. As the cultivators paid the God Stones, a golden rune appeared on their chests.

However, most of the cultivators were standing at the side with cold grins on their faces.

Although they were not interested in taking part in the battle, they would not mind robbing the maps from these people when they entered the Lower Arcana.

It would save them time and effort.

"Strange, her cultivation is quite outstanding, but that is all. There isn't anything special about her. Forget it, I should just take part in the battle first..."

Qin Nan pondered for a while before shaking his head. He flew forward with a kick, paid from the remaining God Stones that he had and returned to his spot.

However, little did Qin Nan know that as he left, the Ugly Crow Daoist's figure shuddered slightly, as if she were looking at him.

A while later, the number of participants had reached a hundred.

Huo Dun, Zhan Xiaoxian, Ao Sha, and the others were taking part too.

"Allow me to explain the rules. You will be fighting inside the ring. Those who leave the ring will be disqualified. Furthermore, you're not allowed to use your Martial Spirits or Martial Trees. No killing is allowed either. The time limit is fifty breaths. The maps will belong to those holding them when the time ends."

The Ugly Crow Daoist said and swung her sleeve, firing a green ray of light that drew a circle with a circumference of three li on the ground.

Qin Nan and the rest immediately stepped into the ring.

"Brother Duan Qing, all the best!"

Zhan Xiaoxian said with great anticipation.

Since their last encounter, she had been looking forward to seeing Qin Nan performing again.

Huo Dun's expression did not seem too pleasant after hearing this. He let out a cold harrumph and made up his mind. He had sworn to claim a golden map just so that he could enter the limelight.

"The battle begins!"

The Ugly Crow Daoist raised her tone and swung her sleeve again. Another green ray of light was fired to the center of the ring. A few moments later, the light exploded and spread a hundred ancient maps across the ring.

However, everyone including Qin Nan, the ninety-nine participants, and the spectating cultivators were utterly stunned.

They could see a hundred maps falling from the sky.

Most importantly, five of the golden pieces were falling down above Qin Nan's head.

"F**k me!"

Most of the cultivators burst out cursing!

Wasn't that guy's luck a bit too good? He could easily grab the five golden maps at once!

They had never heard of anyone taking five golden maps in the past!

Qin Nan quickly reacted. Even though he had no idea why the Ugly Crow Daoist would set it up like this, he was more than willing to take the five golden maps!

However, at the last moment!

Qin Nan's nine Martial Trees suddenly shuddered once again as the ring on his hand let out a faint flicker!

Despite the fact that the glow was rather weak, it served as a shocking explosion in Qin Nan's eyes!

The reaction of the ring was implying that a piece of the Canglan Tree was nearby!

"Is that it?"

Qin Nan quickly scanned around before locking onto a fairly ordinary map. Without any hesitation, his figure turned into a phantom as he lunged forward and grabbed it!

However, his actions were utterly shocking to the crowd!

This...

Why did that guy not grab the golden maps?

Why did he go for an ordinary map instead?

"The golden map is mine!"

Among the participants, a fairly bulky guy swiftly reacted. His face flushed with excitement as he summoned a giant hand grabbing at the five golden maps.

"Not today!"

The remaining cultivators made their moves too upon collecting their thoughts.

Countless glows were emitted within the ring.

Even though the time limit was only fifty breaths, it was more than enough for an epic battle to erupt.

Qin Nan reached out with his hand and grabbed the map he had targeted with ease.

After all, it was only an ordinary map. None of the participants were competing with him.

"Stop."

Fifty breaths later, the Ugly Crow Daoist suddenly let out a yell, which exploded above the place like shocking thunder.

The cultivators who were fighting each other were startled. They had no choice but to withdraw their attacks and pick up a random piece of map nearby.

Everyone ended up with a map.

However, they all wanted to get a golden map. Most of them felt unpleasant as they had failed to secure one.

As for the five golden maps, Huo Dun ended up with two, Ao Sha had one, and the other two were secured by two rogue cultivators who possessed fairly strong cultivations.

"Brother Duan Qing, you..."

Zhan Xiaoxian stared at Qin Nan with a blank face.

The crowd reacted and cast a glance in Qin Nan's direction.

"HAHAHA! Master Duan Qing, I really want to thank you! If it weren't for you, how would it be possible for me to get two golden maps? To be honest, you really have surprised me today!"

Huo Dun looked at Qin Nan and burst into laughter. His eyes were filled with strong disdain.

To him, Qin Nan was an absolute fool.

Maybe Qin Nan might think that the particular piece of map had some secret to it, but either way, its value was nothing compared to the five golden maps.

"As expected of a great master, I'm impressed."

Ao Sha mocked with a scornful look.

"Is that guy out of his mind?"

"His name is Duan Qing, right? What an idiot!"

"Shhh, keep it down. Isn't he crazy? He might put up a desperate fight to you if he knew you were scolding him!"

"I'm rather speechless. He didn't even go for the five golden maps?"

"Sigh, it would be better to give me the chance instead. That way, all five golden maps would be mine!"

At that instant, in addition to the two at the beginning, others who had failed to secure a golden map felt incredibly furious. In order to unleash their anger, they all cast disdainful gazes toward him while uttering scornful comments.
