Chapter 186: Chapter 185: Use a Stick?
Wisps of a tangible aura burst forth from the pores all over Qin Feng’s body, pushing the air like invisible ripples.
A High-level Spirit Sword! Empowerment from the Spirit Sword! Sword Qi Infusion!
Martial Arts Ninth Layer Middle Stage, Late-stage Martial Arts Nine Layers... The oceanic Innate True Qi within his Circulation Meridians surged like a tidal wave.
The sixteenth cycle of Tidal True Qi, the seventeenth, the eighteenth.
Qin Feng circulated his Secret Technique with all his might, suppressing his Realm and refining his Innate True Qi. However, an endless stream of incomparably pure Water Spiritual Qi continued to pour into his Circulation Meridians.
’I can’t suppress it!’
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of Qi Force explosions erupted around his body, unleashing a surging aura!
The Martial Arts Second Divine Pass was shattered with ease, and the second wave of Divine Storage Essence Qi merged into Qin Feng’s body.
Early Stage of Martial Arts Tenth Layer, Mid-Ten Realms of Martial Arts, Late Stage of Ten Realms of Martial Arts, Martial Arts Ten Heavens Peak Great Perfection.
As the gathered prodigies watched with shocked expressions, Qin Feng’s aura climbed steadily, on the verge of breaking through to the Eleventh Realm of Martial Arts!
Astounding!
"Is he going to break through two Great Realms at once?" Many of the prodigies watched the black-robed youth’s aura swell, their jaws nearly hitting the floor.
It was utterly astonishing!
"That lecher’s foundation is just too profound!" Ji Huang’Er grit her teeth. Even she felt her heart pound in alarm just watching such a breakthrough.
Staring at the youth in the black robe with a gloomy expression, Zhao Sikong’s heart grew heavy as he thought, ’No wonder this guy can so easily kill enemies above his realm. His Cultivation Technique actually converts all his strength, forging it into his foundation!’
Lû Chunyang grinned. ’My brother truly is a cut above the rest!’
Qin Feng suppressed this wild surge. Now was not the time for a full-blown breakthrough.
The *Innate Primordial Qi* was supreme among all forms of Qi, unrivaled in building one’s foundation.
It was said to accumulate the foundation of ten thousand ages, allowing one to soar to the heavens in a single leap!
The Martial Arts Thirteen Realms would be the optimal time to unleash his power!
’Suppress!’ Qin Feng gritted his teeth, desperately fighting the urge. For him, this was truly a form of torture.
As the Innate Primordial Qi Secret Technique circulated, the immense Innate Primordial True Qi gradually receded, compressing into several hidden acupoints.
The aura around Qin Feng began to recede!
Martial Arts Ten Heavens Perfection, Late Stage of Ten Realms of Martial Arts, Mid-Ten Realms of Martial Arts!
Compressing it down to the Mid-Ten Realms of Martial Arts was already pushing the limit!
Many of the prodigies watched this scene, utterly astonished!
"What’s going on? Why is Qin Feng’s Realm regressing?"
"Could he be suffering from a backlash?" someone speculated uncertainly.
"I don’t think so. It looks more like he’s suppressing his Realm on purpose."
"Suppressing his Realm on purpose? Why would he do that?"
"To prepare for a breakthrough to the Condensing Vein Realm. I’ve heard from my family’s elders that some powerful experts will use a Secret Technique to suppress their progress before advancing to a new Great Realm. Apparently, it increases the chances of a successful breakthrough!"
"So that’s it! No wonder Qin Feng can kill enemies above his level! He’s been suppressing his Realm this whole time!"
...
The eyes of the youths all around fell upon Qin Feng, a look of sudden understanding on their faces.
Just then, Qin Feng opened his eyes. A smile touched his lips as he felt the immense True Qi surging within him.
He held out one hand and, to everyone’s surprise, an Ancient Long Sword seemed to materialize from his palm.
Its style was ancient. Under the sunlight, beautiful, flowing patterns rippled across the blade like water. It was like a pool of autumn water, chilling one to the core.
The Beiming Divine Water Sword!
As Qin Feng gripped the Beiming Divine Water Sword, an overwhelming confidence surged through him. ’If I were to face Young Emperor Jin now,’ he thought, ’a single strike would be enough to kill him!’
Qin Feng took the Ancient Sword from his back. He looked at its hilt, which was fashioned like a fanged beast’s maw, and gently stroked the blade. This Ancient Sword had been with him for quite some time.
It had tasted the blood of many powerful foes.
For a family like the Qin Family of Shanghe Town, an Ancient Sword like this would be treasured as a family heirloom.
CLANG!
Qin Feng unsheathed the Ancient Sword. Its snow-white blade flashed before him. With a glint in his eye, he channeled his power and hurled the Ancient Sword toward a Sword Mountain hundreds of yards away.
A faint, cold light streaked through the air as the Ancient Sword flew straight into a Sword Mountain hundreds of yards away.
Qin Feng gave the Sword Mountain a casual glance, then walked off the Sword Testing Platform.
Just as Qin Feng threw the Ancient Sword, an unseen disciple from the Divine Sword Manor quickly took up a brush and recorded the event.
"Star Calendar, Year XX, Month XX. The Prime Student of All Stars Academy’s Cyan Dragon Academy interred an unnamed Ancient Sword beneath the 560th rock of Dragon Head Peak. The sword is nameless, approximately three feet and four inches in length, its style ancient, its hilt a fanged beast’s maw..."
"Congratulations, Qin Feng!" Baiyun was the first to approach, a beautiful and charming smile gracing her lovely face.
Yun Mo followed, glancing at the youth in the black robe. Her gaze finally landed on the Beiming Divine Water Sword on Qin Feng’s back. A flicker of envy she tried to hide flashed in her beautiful eyes. With a soft huff, she said, "Congratulations."
’Is this her way of calling a truce?’
Qin Feng gave the girl in the black dress a surprised look.
His only answer was the sound of her footsteps as the girl in black turned and walked away.
Qin Feng gave a wry smile. Just then, a fist came whistling toward him. His brow furrowed for a moment before a smile touched his lips. He didn’t dodge or evade.
Fist met flesh with a solid THUD, followed by a strange yelp. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Your chest is so hard!"
"Lû Chunyang, punching me in the chest the moment you see me? That’s not a very nice greeting, is it?" Qin Feng said, looking at Lû Chunyang with a teasing smile. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"I’m not one of our senior sisters, you know. This chest is hard as iron!"
"Brother Qin, it’s been two months! You’re getting funnier and funnier!" A wave of heat washed over them as a youth in red robes appeared before Qin Feng.
It was none other than Lû Chunyang.
"You two little hooligans," Senior Sister Baiyun said from the side, shooting a reproachful glance at the one in the black robe.
Yun Mo huffed. "Senior Sister, are you only just now realizing that? This filthy rogue is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s a lecher! Neither of them is any good!"
Qin Feng glanced at the girl in the black dress and curled his lip. "So what if I’m a lecher? If we men weren’t lecherous, what would you women do for fun? Play with a stick?"
Yun Mo froze. An unconcealable blush spread across her delicate, elfin face. A wave of shame and anger washed over her, and she grit her teeth.
"You... you big pervert! How could you say something like that!"
Qin Feng wore a teasing smile. "What did I say?"
"You..." Yun Mo nearly fainted from rage.
"Junior Sister, that’s enough. Don’t say any more," Baiyun said, pulling Yun Mo back. Baiyun’s face was also a little flushed. Remembering what Qin Feng had just said, she grumbled to herself, ’Honestly, how can he say such things in front of girls? It’s so mortifying!’
"Senior Sister, you’re just spoiling him!" Yun Mo huffed angrily, flicked her sleeve, and stormed off.
Baiyun glanced at Qin Feng and shook her head, then hurried after her.
Lû Chunyang paid no attention to the two beautiful senior sisters. His eyes were glued to the Beiming Divine Water Sword on Qin Feng’s back. His eyes wide, he exclaimed, "So that’s a High-level Spirit Sword? Incredible!"
His eyes were filled with envy. Owning a High-level Spirit Sword was the kind of thing that would make a man wake up from a dream, laughing.
"Qin Feng, congratulations!" From a short distance away, Yu Yao strode over. Her beautiful eyes were filled with amazement as she looked at the black-robed youth before her, especially the High-level Spirit Sword on his back.
"Thank you."
Qin Feng nodded with a smile.
Her gaze sharpened, and her expression turned serious. "Qin Feng, I’ve come on the Princess’s orders to deliver a message. Her Highness, the Princess, warns you to be wary of someone. This person may wish you harm!"
"Who?" Qin Feng was startled, his expression growing solemn.
"His name is Ao Kun."
Seeing Qin Feng’s questioning gaze, Yu Yao continued, "He’s a former student of All Stars Academy. It’s estimated his strength has already reached the Condensing Vein Realm. He is also Ao Fang’s biological older brother."
