Chapter 182 - 182: Let’s See How Long You Can Persist! 1
Although Qin Changqing’s cultivation was only at Tier 6 Golden Elixir, he effortlessly stepped onto the 7 ,oooth step. With strength not weaker than a one-striped expert, and his incredible Alchemy and Array Formation attainments, Nangong Xue was no longer in a position to make any remarks about him.
Achiever as a master? Stronger as a master!
If you’re powerful, naturally, you have the final say.
“How dare you! To make fun of Prince!” In the 7,000th level, a two-striped expert from Tianshu Academy shouted angrily. He stepped up to the same level as Qin Changqing, holding a scroll, releasing a massive aura of righteousness.
He held the scroll with one hand and had the other behind his back. His Daoist robe fluttered without wind. Not to mention his strength, his temperament was entirely elevated.
Scholar cultivators had a characteristic: they were great at showing off.
Cultivated scholars, with a little dressing up, were elegant and knowledgeable. On a full moon night, speaking a few enchanting words could immediately charm young blossoming girls.
That’s why disciples of the Dayan Dynasty’s Tianshu Academy were always popular.
In contrast, in Tianjian Academy, although wielding a sword was very cool, due to their cold faces and constant fighting and killing, they appeared like rude and brutish men.
Of course, in the world of cultivation, sword cultivators were still popular.
Just had to admit, scholar cultivators were not only handsome but also powerful.
“The person I hate the most is someone who shows off in front of me,” Qin Changing sneered, “Who are you, anyway?”
The young man proudly said, “I am Qin Qingyuan from Tianshu Academy.”
“Oh, from the same clan, then it’s even worse for you. What I hate the most are people with the same surname showing off in front of me,” Qin Changqing turned to Nangong Xue and said, “Junior sister, after the Tianti Road ends, let’s have a candlelit conversation and discuss the Dao together.”
Nangong Xue:
Everyone was speechless.
Do you really want to discuss the Dao?
No one was willing to expose him!
“Oh? Qin Changqing wants to fight?” Wu Gang was surprised outside the Tianti Road, “With just his Tier 6 Golden Elixir, stepping onto the Tianti Road 7,000th level, the pressure he’s bearing must have reached its limit. It’s not wise to fight against a two-striped scholar cultivator in this state.”
“I don’t think so,” Wei Wuxian smirked, “This kid is mysterious. If he can reach the 7,000th level with Tier 6 Golden Elixir, why can’t he reach the 8,000th or 9,000th level? On the contrary, I think the Tianshu Academy’s kid is in trouble.”
Nangong Fu coldly snorted, “What do you Demon Cultivators know? Every disciple of my Tianshu Academy is elite, not comparable to those barbaric family members who only know how to bully in the secular world! Watch, no matter how powerful Qin Changqing is, today he will be slain on the Tianti
Road!”
Mu Taixu suddenly said, “A two-striped cultivator of the Dayan Dynasty is fighting our Tier 6 Golden Elixir disciple. You seem very proud? The older you get, the thicker your face becomes. You don’t need any face at all.”
“You—” Nangong Fu choked on his words.
Turning his head to check with other fellow cultivators, they all looked away.
Yes, with such a huge gap in cultivation, what is there to be proud of?
“Hmph! It’s enough to kill him,” Nangong Fu thought. Now, he no longer looked forward to face-saving situations; as long as Qin Changqing died, it would be the greatest face-saving for the Dayan Dynasty!
While they were talking, the power within Qin Qingyuan had already peaked.
As a scholar cultivator, he was deliberately gathering energy to harm others. Qin Changqing did not move, so he was in no hurry. At this moment, the surging sensation in his body made his confidence soar.
“Qin Changqing, meet your death!”
The scroll lightly waved, and an enormous storm immediately erupted. Amidst the surging clouds and fog, it was as if a ferocious beast roared. Soon enough, a huge yellow-furred, white-striped tiger appeared behind him. The words of a scholar cultivator were powerful enough to cut through rivers, shake mountains, form swords, shields, or beasts… with endless transformations, they were extremely tricky.
At this moment, what Qin Qingyuan used was one of Tianshu Academy’s inheritances. By concentrating the righteous energy within him into a ferocious beast, the belief was: let your heart manifest a tiger, let the righteous energy of the heaven and earth break all laws.
This tiger was formed by his Golden Elixir in his body, different from Nangong Aotian’s method of condensation through skills. In terms of power, this ferocious tiger was even stronger.
Of course, the focus of Emperor-level Skills was on combat. Condensing fortune was only an auxiliary means.
Everyone’s eyes then fell on Qin Changqing.
He had used an unknown method to resolve Nangong Aotian’s Emperor-level Skill last time. What about now?
Qin Changqing did not disappoint them. With a light move, he dissolved Qin
Qingyuan’s attack.
He stepped up one more level.
There was a rule on the Tianti Road: only cultivators on the same level could compete.
Although it sounded unreasonable, considering the will and pressure on the Tianti Road, it was difficult to avoid battle if a person was determined to fight with you and their strength was not significantly different.
If the strength differed greatly and the weak chased the strong, the stronger party could easily avoid being worn down by the eager challengers.
In this light, it seemed reasonable.
At this moment, following Qin Changqing’s step, Qin Qingyuan’s attack lost its target.
He paused, completely unprepared for Qin Changqing to do so. After all, the latter’s aura just now seemed like he was ready to fight to death…
“Qin Changqing, you—shameless!” Qin Qingyuan roared, “As a core disciple of Lingxiao Sect, you retreat without fighting. How can you have any face left on this Tianti Road?”
Shameless!
People on Tianti Road, and even outside, were stunned.
Mu Taixu was also stunned, but after thinking about Qin Changqing’s character, what else could he say? His own daughter was with the man, so he could only silently shake his head and think, ‘shameless.’
On the Tianti Road, Qin Changqing disdainfully said, “You are now one level below me. You say I have no right to stay on Tianti Road? Aren’t those below even less qualified?”
The people in this world were too rigid and fought to the death over face-saving. They couldn’t adapt.
As a promising youth of the 21st century, how could he be as pedantic as these people?
After all, I climbed higher than you, so I’m a bit stronger. This is the rule of the Tianti Road.
Qin Qingyuan was speechless for a moment, and could only forcibly follow Qin Changqing while enduring his rage.
“Qin Changing, do you think this small tactic can make me lose my sanity?
Hmph! I have already cultivated two stripes, while you are just a mere Tier 6 Golden Elixir. Let’s see how long you can last! When you can’t go up anymore, that will be the end for you!”
Qin Changqing didn’t speak; this time, he went up two more levels.
Qin Qingyuan followed two levels.
Then, it was three levels, four levels, five levels.
Step by step, the more people watched, the more astonished they became. Even Nangong Aotian, who was squatting at the 7,100th level, was surprised. But he didn’t intend to intervene, as the Dayan Dynasty needed to save face. A two-striped scholar cultivator was already ‘chasing down’ Qin Changqing. If he got involved, would he still have any face left?
Moreover, from the looks of it, Qin Qingyuan was more than enough..
