Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Among the hundred counties in the Cloud Prefecture, other than the dozen or so high-ranking counties, many of them might not be able to find two Martial Saint or Snake realm experts.
However, Cloud Prefecture City was the capital of Cloud Prefecture. It was a place where experts gathered.
There were more than 20 Martial Saint or Snake realm experts in the Cloud Prefecture City.
The most famous among them were naturally the Weapon Masters of the Xue and Su families.
At this level, they were all high and mighty. They only wanted longevity.
Below this was the guardian of the Cloud Prefecture’s Spirit Guardian, Qi Yuntian. He had just entered the Five Fiend Realm and had mastered at least
two Lesser Divine Powers. He was invincible unless he was at the upper third level of the Snake-level.
At this moment, outside Cloud Prefecture City.
“I’m finally back!” Qi Xuanming looked at the tall and majestic city walls of
Cloud Prefecture City from afar and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Without stopping, he spent nearly five days before returning to Cloud Prefecture City.
This time, he came back to recuperate and put in a good word for Han Zhao.
After interacting with Han Zhao, Qi Xuanming sincerely believed that Han Zhao was a person to befriend. Moreover, his talent was definitely not inferior to him, who had a spirit body. He even had the possibility of catching up to Eldest Senior Brother Qi Yuntian.
He felt that since the Qi family had already invested, they should invest more manpower and resources to protect Han Zhao.
“Lord Qi!” The soldiers guarding the city recognized Qi Xuanming and immediately bowed respectfully.
“Yes.” Qi Xuanming nodded. After entering the city, he rushed straight to the Spirit Guardian headquarters in the East District. He was prepared to go straight to Qi Yuntian.
“Brother Qi, you’re finally back. The Guardian ordered you to meet him immediately after you returned. Didn’t you encounter the person we sent to receive you?
However, just as he arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Guardian, a few colleagues saw him and hurriedly brought him to the top floor of the headquarters.
“Huh?” Qi Xuanming was stunned and immediately went to the room on the top floor of the headquarters.
“Come in.” A gentle voice came from the room when he heard the knock.
Qi Xuanming pushed the door open and entered.
Only to see a dignified-looking man about thirty years old sitting upright at the table. It was Qi Yuntian.
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother.” Qi Xuanming bowed respectfully. When there was no one around, he usually did not hold a position.
“Xuanming, are you injured?”
Qi Yuntian only sized up Qi Xuanming and could tell that he was unwell.
“I’m injured by Murong Qi’s Innate Metal Qi but it’s not a big deal.” Qi
Xuanming smiled, then changed the topic and said seriously, “Eldest Senior Brother, Han Zhao’s talent is peerless. If he had cultivation conditions like ours, his achievements would definitely not be low. I think the Qi family’s protection of him is not enough. He should…”
Qi Yuntian looked surprised and raised his hand to interrupt Qi Xuanming.
“Eldest Senior Brother?!” Qi Xuanming was a little anxious. Qi Yuntian had always had better foresight than him. This time, he did not let him finish speaking. Could it be that something had happened to the family?
“Take a look.” Qi Yuntian saw the strange expression on Qi Xuanming’s face and knew that he had misunderstood. He took out a scroll from the dossier on the table and threw it to him.
Qi Xuanming was puzzled. He took the painting and opened it.
The painting was a portrait of Han Zhao. His face was vivid and lifelike, painting more than 70% to 80% of his handsome and extraordinary charm.
However, when Qi Xuanming saw the annotation beside the portrait, his eyes widened. “Seventeenth on the Qilin Ranking… The new person on the rankings,
Han Zhao?!”
“Eldest Senior Brother, what’s going on?” Qi Xuanming looked up at Qi Yuntian in confusion.
“You’ve been traveling day and night, so you probably haven’t entered the prefecture capital along the way. That’s why you don’t know about this,” Qi Yuntian said.
“Yesterday, Ji Qingshuang left the rankings and was suspected to have been killed by Murong Qi. Then, Murong Qi died at Han Zhao’s hands. He got 17th place on the Qilin Ranking in one go. At this moment, his name has probably spread throughout the three countries.”
“This…” Qi Xuanming’s mind went blank.
Five days ago, he had joined forces with Han Zhao and Su Tianqi. He was still at a disadvantage when facing Murong Qi. Why did Han Zhao kill Murong Qi the moment he returned to Cloud Prefecture City?
“Could it be that Murong Qi and Ji Qingshuang fought a battle and both sides were injured, so Han Zhao took advantage of them? Or did another expert help? Was it the Academy Head of the Martial Academy?”
Qi Xuanming blurted out.
“Xuanming, you’re tunnel visioning,” Qi Yuntian said in a low voice.
When Qi Xuanming heard this, he was suddenly shocked and reacted. “I’m sorry, Eldest Senior Brother. My heart is in a mess.”
He had always treated Han Zhao as an equal friend. He did not look down on Han Zhao because of the difference in status and background.
However, as a genius, he had his own pride.
Perhaps Han Zhao’s talent had already surpassed his, but at the moment, his strength was still slightly superior.
Now that he suddenly heard such news, his heart was no less than a huge earthquake.
He subconsciously found an excuse, as if he wanted to deny reality.
“This is human nature. You don’t have to blame yourself.” Qi Yuntian smiled gently.
“For Han Zhao to be able to kill Murong Qi, no matter what, it means that he’s hiding his strength. After all, he doesn’t have our family as his strong backing like us. Only by hiding his trump card can he win by surprise at the critical moment.”
“If Murong Qi is killed, will the Murong aristocratic family and the Hundred Spirit Sect send more experts?! What if Han Zhao is no match for them?” Qi Xuanming was a little worried about Han Zhao.
The Murong aristocratic family would definitely not let the matter rest after the death of a top genius.
Now that the Hundred Spirit Sect had joined forces with the Murong aristocratic family, they would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
Kong Yi of the Hundred Spirit Sect was a peerless genius with the Five-Color Peacock bloodline and was ranked sixth on the Qilin Ranking. If he came to the Cloud Prefecture, Han Zhao would probably not be able to resist him.
They were both in the top 20 of the Qilin Ranking, so Han Zhao could not reject Kong Yi’s challenge.
“It’s fine. I’ve already informed the ancestor. She will send more experts to the Cloud Prefecture.”
“In addition, it is said that Ji Baiwei of the Ji family has a good relationship with Han Zhao. This person is the new Snake-level powerhouse of the Ji family and is highly valued by the Ji family.”
“Since Han Zhao had killed Murong Qi, Ji Qingshuangs Seven Evil Mask fragment is definitely in Han Zhao’s hands.”
“It he uses this item to trade, he can also obtain a tavor trom the Ji tamily.”
“If the Ji family interferes, the pressure on us will be much less. It won’t be a problem to protect Han Zhao.”
Qi Yuntian pondered.
“Then I’ll return to Yuan Chang County’s prefecture capital to inform Han Zhao,” Qi Xuanming said.
“Mm, be careful on the way.” Qi Yuntian nodded slightly and added.
“If necessary, I’ll go personally.”
“Yes!” Qi Xuanming cupped his fists and left.
“If Han Zhao can maintain his current momentum, his chances of winning in the future will increase by 10%.” Qi Yuntian sighed in his heart.
The next evening.
Han Zhao and the three Lian sisters returned to the Furious Flood Dragon
Island.
“Greetings, Young Sect Master!”
Thousands of Furious Flood Dragon Sect members, including the servants and maidservants, all arrived and let out earth-shattering shouts.
Everyone looked at Han Zhao fanatically. Clearly, they had also learned that Han Zhao was on the rankings.
Although Han Zhao was surprised, his expression remained the same. He raised his hand slightly. “No need to stand on ceremony.”
“Thank you, Young Sect Master,” everyone said in unison.
Lian Chengxue followed behind Han Zhao, her eyes shining.
Lian Chengyu and Lian Chengbing did not expect Han Zhao to have such high prestige in the Furious Flood Dragon Gang. These people were like believers.
Han Zhao brought the three sisters to the side hall of the Furious Flood Dragon Hall and instructed the maids to arrange for them to rest. He returned to his room and closed the door tightly to begin refining Murong Qi’s white tiger bloodline.
“Splash Ø ‘ The sound of water flowing came from his body.
Immediately after, a ball of blood the size of a human head appeared in front of Han Zhao and floated in the air.
Han Zhao circulated the True Spirit Nine Transformations and his true qi transformed into threads that wrapped around the blood in front of him.
“Roar!” Suddenly, a tiger roar sounded.
The blood floating in front of him emitted a dazzling golden light and instantly transformed into an incomparably handsome white tiger.
Scratch! Scratch!
The golden light turned into sharp sword qi and cut off all the true qi threads released by Han Zhao.
When Han Zhao saw this, not only was he not angry, but he also looked happy.
The white tiger bloodline in Murong Qi’s body was actually so pure. In terms of spirituality, it was only slightly inferior to the Lightning Flood Dragon Blood.
Murong Qi was not the first-generation White Tiger Bloodline Holder, and the Lightning Flood Dragon Blood in his body was directly extracted from Shangguan Lie’s body.
“Looks like the source of the Murong aristocratic family’s bloodline is definitely comparable to the Divine Power Realm.”
Han Zhao thought to himself and clasped his hands in front of him.
A large number of true qi threads wrapped over. Although the white tiger in front of it resisted violently, it finally lost the ability to resist under the endless true qi threads.
When the white tiger bloodline entered his body, Han Zhao’s body trembled. Soon, he gritted his teeth, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his veins bulged.
The meridians in his entire body felt a tearing pain as if someone was using a small knife to scratch his body.
However, to Han Zhao, who had experienced the pain of breaking through to the Vajra Technique, this pain was still bearable.
Moreover, as he refined his bloodline, he could clearly feel the strength of his body increase.
The feeling of his strength increasing exceeded everything.
After an unknown period of time.
When Han Zhao came back to his senses, the white tiger floating in the air had already disappeared.
Scratch! Scratch!
Han Zhao’s body emitted waves of Sharp Metal Qi, and the sound of air being torn apart was endless.
With a flash of golden light, his entire body was covered in white fur. A thick layer of white fur protected his entire body like armor. His palm turned into tiger claws, and his sharp claws were suffused with a metallic luster.
Han Zhao came to the mirror. He seemed to have turned into a humanoid white tiger now. Other than being much stronger, he did not become more than three meters tall like when he used the Flood Dragon Transformation.
“I feel that my body has reached the limit of the current stage. If I want to improve further, I probably have to break through the bottleneck of the Fiend Condensation Realm.”
Han Zhao felt the changes in his body. Power surged out continuously, but it was different from the Flood Dragon Transformation.
True Spirit Nine Transformations (Second Transformation; Special Effect:
Flood Dragon Transformation, Flood Dragon Avatar, White Tiger
Transformation, White Tiger Avatar…)
Flood Dragon Transformation (Small Mastery 25%; Special Effects: Two
Origin Power, Lightning Affinity, Dragon Roar)
White Tiger Transformation (Small Mastery 12%; Special Effects: Geng Metal Qi, Metal Qi Affinity, Tiger Roar)
“Huh? What’s going on?” Looking at the system interface, Han Zhao was suddenly stunned.
As he mastered the White Tiger Transformation, the special effect of the Flood Dragon Transformation actually increased from One Origin Power to Two Origin Power.
“Could it be that every time I master new forms, I can make the other transformations stronger?
Han Zhao was stunned.
If it was stacked a few times, the power of the True Spirit Nine Transformations would be unimaginable.
“Let’s test the power of the White Tiger Transformation first.”
Han Zhao opened the door and walked into the courtyard. He circulated his true qi and gently stepped on the ground. The limestone slab in the courtyard cracked and shattered.
He suddenly pounced forward and flashed.
Boom!
With a loud bang, a huge hole appeared in the courtyard wall.
Han Zhao patted the dust off his body and looked at the huge hole in the courtyard wall in a daze. “My speed actually increased so much? I couldn’t control it properly for a moment. Moreover…”
Lung Metal (100%), Liver Wood (70%), Kidney Water (70%), Heart Fire (70%), Spleen Earth (70%), Upper Dantian Lightning (50 0/0), Middle Dantian Ice (30%), Lower Dantian Wind (30%)
“After refining the White Tiger Bloodline, my Metal Element Qi was directly filled. I’m another big step closer to the Five Qi Realm.”
“There are still ten months before the trial in the Central Prefecture’s Strange
Domain. It shouldn’t be a big problem to reach the Five Qi Perfection Realm. If I can fill up the Qi of the Three Wonders, my strength can reach another level.” Han Zhao thought to himself.
He did not forget that he had been attacked by Kong Yi of the Hundred Spirit Sect on the way to the Central Prefecture.
If he snatched Kong Yi’s Five-Color Peacock bloodline and broke through to the Martial Saint Realm when he entered the Central Prefecture’s Strange Domain, wouldn’t he be able to kill everyone inside?
