Peerless Battle Spirit
Chapter 17: Bai Heng

Many disciples were sitting on the training ground of the Qin Clan with their legs crossed. They were immersed in cultivation while absorbing the Qi of the Heavens and Earth with their Martial Spirits floating behind them.

The incident that had taken place in the Conference Hall was yet to be made known to the disciples.

However, a disciple wearing a luxurious robe and a prideful face suddenly spoke, “Hey, listen up. Do you know what just happened in the clan?”

The words of the disciple immediately grabbed the attention of the crowd. One of them blurted out, “Brother Qin Hai, what is it? Hurry up and tell us.”

The other disciples wore anticipatory looks on their faces as well.

The disciple with the name Qin Hai had awakened a fourth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, and was considered a genius disciple second only to Qin Changkong. Therefore, he was able to acquire the news that most disciples were clueless of.

The pride on Qin Hai’s face grew stronger after noticing the crowd’s reaction, who then tossed a grenade into the crowd, “Brother Qin Changkong is planning to usurp our Patriarch Qin Tian at the clan meeting!”

Everyone was left in astonishment hearing the words.

Qin Changkong was planning to usurp the Patriarch? How bold was that!

However, the disciples soon collected their thoughts and became excited instead of showing any anger.

“HAHAHA, that’s not a surprise at all. That’s what he gets for allocating five hundred Body Tempering Pills to his trashy son.”

“I agree, what right does Qin Nan have to be given that many pills?”

“He has no right to be our Patriarch after doing such a thing for his trashy son.”

“HAHA, Brother Qin Changkong is doing the right thing.”

“……”

The disciples began to discuss among themselves.

A while before, after knowing that Qin Tian had allocated five hundred Body Tempering Pills to Qin Nan, the disciples were extremely jealous of him, but they had not dared to say anything as they were intimidated by Qin Tian’s authority.

Therefore, they felt incredibly pleasant knowing what Qin Changkong was planning to do.

Qin Hai was extremely satisfied after seeing the crowd’s reaction, before he continued to surprise them, “There is no way that Qin Tian could keep his position as Patriarch.... Brother Qin Changkong has been chosen as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect, and in five days’ time, the Mystic Spirit Sect will be here to recruit him officially.”

Following this, the crowd was left in awe as they stared at one another with their eyes open wide.

Qin Changkong had been chosen as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect?

It went without saying that they all knew about the existence of the Mystic Spirit Sect.

Joining the Mystic Spirit Sect had always been every disciple’s dream.

As a result, the disciples’ eyes were filled with great respect toward Qin Changkong.

Qin Changkong was no longer someone they could surpass.

Qin Hai let out a laugh before his face became disgusted, as a sudden thought came to him. He spoke in a gloating tone, “Once Qin Tian has lost his position as the Patriarch, Qin Nan’s fate will be doomed too. HAHAHA!”

Everyone began to laugh as well.

Was Qin Nan still their concern now?

He was only a piece of trash with a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

If it weren’t for his identity as the top genius of Linshui City in the past, or as the son of the Patriarch, they would not waste any time on him.

However, another figure hurried to the training ground at that moment while blurting out, “Some...something bizarre just happened…”

Everyone gazed toward him at the same time, including Qin Hai, who said in a mocking tone, “What is it? Are you referring to Qin Tian being usurped? HAHA, we’ve already learned of the news!”

The others burst out laughing once again.

The one who had just arrived immediately took a few deep breaths after hearing their laughter, which caused his face to redden, before he blurted out, “I’ve got the latest news—Qin Nan interrupted the meeting by breaking into the Conference Hall. His cultivation had ranked up to the fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm after acquiring some fortunate encounter in the Longhu Mountain Range! He then had a duel against Qin Changkong, and outmatched Qin Changkong’s strongest attack with a single move!”

BANG!

The disciples felt like their minds were about to explode after hearing this.

Qin Nan—the trash—had ranked up to the fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm after acquiring some fortunate encounter?

He had managed to defeat Qin Changkong’s strongest attack with a single move?

How was that piece of trash this terrifying all of a sudden!

“This...this...this…” Qin Hai was left speechless on the spot. His figure shuddered violently when he recalled the mockery he had uttered a moment ago.

In addition to him, the disciples also trembled slightly.

So what if Qin Nan only had a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit? His cultivation had reached the fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm, and he had managed to outmatch Qin Changkong’s strength!

How could they even stand a chance against him?

Absolutely impossible!

The disciples at the training ground were left in awe by the sudden news. The incident taking place in the Conference Hall was soon made known to the entire Qin Clan, and Linshui City.

This time, everyone was astonished.

Qin Nan had defeated Qin Changkong with a single move; were they still talking about the same Qin Nan?

However, many soon disregarded the impact of the news.

After all, Qin Nan only possessed a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, leaving him with a dim future. He had only been relying on the fortunate encounter that he had found in the Longhu Mountain Range; was he going to just rely on these fortunate encounters?

On the other hand, Qin Changkong was still a genius with a fifth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit. Even though he had been defeated this time, he still had a bright future ahead.

...Meanwhile, in a luxurious residence in the Qin Clan...

“I’m going to kill him. I must kill him!” Qin Changkong’s eyes reddened while he was surrounded by a murderous aura, “That piece of trash managed to defeat me. How did that happen? How did that happen?”

Qin Tieba glanced at Qin Changkong and shook his head. His heart was filled with great fury too.

Qin Nan had disrupted their plans.

Not only was he unable to be the Patriarch, his son had lost the duel too, giving birth to a shadow within him that would hinder his growth.

“Calm down.” Qin Tieba withheld the anger within him while speaking in a cold tone, “Elder Bai Heng of the Mystic Spirit Sect will arrive in five days. After he recruits you as a disciple, we will have the chance to avenge ourselves. Qin Nan and Qin Tian will be doomed.”

“Right right right; when Elder Bai Heng comes, I will make them pay!” Qin Changkong’s eyes flickered ferociously.

...Meanwhile, on the other side of Linshui City, inside a secret chamber within the Fang Clan...

“How long will it take for Elder Bai Heng to arrive?” The one speaking was a middle-aged man seated in the middle of the room, who was wearing a white coat made of tiger skin. He had a bulky physique, which granted him an imperious appearance.

This middle-aged man was none other than the Fang Clan’s Patriarch, Fang Li.

“In three days.” A young man standing before Fang Li said with a smile, “Elder Bai Heng has told the Qin Clan that he would arrive in five days. We will have plenty of time to set up in the extra two days.”

Fang Li’s eyes flickered viciously, “Very well, I’m eager to see how the Qin Clan is going to save themselves this time.”

The young man frowned slightly upon hearing this, “Father, I still don’t understand what’s the point of this plan. Why are we concerned about the Qin Clan? The so-called genius of their clan, Qin Changkong, is nothing but trash before me. He’s not a threat at all.”

The young man was none other than Fang Li’s son and Fang Xue’s brother, Fang Rulong.

Fang Li shook his head and replied, “There’s more to it. Some disciples of their clan possess fourth-grade or fifth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirits, granting them great potential to grow in the future. Our goal is to eliminate the Qin Clan, without leaving any possible threats.”

Fang Rulong did not say anything. The lust for blood displayed from his eyes was an obvious sign that he did not take Fang Li’s words seriously.

Fang Li suddenly thought of something as he spoke, “I was told that Qin Nan has defeated Qin Changkong?”

Fang Rulong could not help but burst out laughing after hearing this. In his opinion, Qin Nan was not worthy enough to be considered an opponent.

Even though Qin Nan used to be Fang Rulong’s greatest opponent when he was considered the top genius of Linshui City, he was nothing but an ant to him now.

Fang Li shook his head as if he was blaming himself for mentioning Qin Nan’s name, before he asked, “By the way, have you heard any news regarding your sister?”

Fang Rulong shook his head without saying anything. His sister was not significant enough for him to discuss about either.

Fang Li let out a harrumph before he snapped, “This Fang Xue is getting far too naughty. Fine, you may leave now. Make use of your time to cultivate, and if you need any resources, just let me know.”
