"Hao'er!"
Qin Yuntian suddenly stood up, his expression agitated.
"Father!"
Qin Hao clenched his fist. If he had returned any later, he didn't know how far they would have pushed his father.
Qin Hao's face was cold. Without even glancing at Qin Fang on the arena, he coldly said towards the high platform, "May I ask, Grand Elder, if my father is not qualified to be the Qin Family Head, then who in the Qin Family is? Is it you, Qin Gaochi, or the other Elders?"
"Qin Hao, don't speak nonsense!"
"We are naturally not qualified. The Qin Family Head should be the Grand Elder!"
The other Elders quickly said.
Qin Gaochi narrowed his eyes, sneered, and shouted, "I have exerted myself for the Qin Family, always considering its development and growth, while your father occupies a position without performing his duties. Such a person is, of course, not qualified to be the Qin Family Head!"
Qin Hao's face was stern. He said loudly, "A good 'exerting himself for the Qin Family'! May I ask, Grand Elder, where were you when my father fought for the Qin Family, contending for ore veins and spiritual fields? Where were you when my father fought against enemies and was seriously injured?"
"A person like you, short-sighted and unable to distinguish right from wrong, if my Qin Family is led by someone like you, its future path will only become narrower and narrower. One day, I fear it will fall to become a third-rate Family in Tianshui City!"
Qin Gaochi was furious, "Qin Hao, how dare you!"
"I didn't intend to announce it now, but since you, this waste, are so arrogant, today, in front of all the Qin Family Disciples, I will announce the Elder Council's resolution."
"Ancestors above, Qin Hao is without talent and without virtue! From this moment on, Qin Hao's Young Lord position is stripped, and Qin Fang shall inherit it!"
Qin Gaochi shouted, "Furthermore, given that you are a First-Grade Martial Soul waste, the Elder Council has decided to expel you from the Family register. Our Qin Family does not raise waste!"
Qin Yuntian was enraged, "Qin Gaochi, how dare you expel my son from the Family register! Who gave you the guts!"
If it was only aimed at himself, Qin Yuntian wouldn't care, but Qin Gaochi was now aiming at Qin Hao. How could Qin Yuntian tolerate that?
"It was me! Qin Yuntian, your waste son, Qin Hao, staying in the Qin Family is just a waste of food!"
Suddenly, a furious shout rang out.
The Grand Elder, who had been sitting with his eyes slightly closed as if oblivious to external affairs, suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils shot out brilliant light, and his Aura was terrifying.
Qin Yuntian was struck by lightning, looking at the Grand Elder in disbelief. Just as he was about to speak, a calm voice suddenly rang out.
"Father, leave the rest to me!"
After speaking, Qin Hao turned to look at the Grand Elder and said in a deep voice, "You keep calling me a waste. If I, this waste, defeat the Genius in your eyes, then what?"
"May I ask, Grand Elder, does the challenge from half a month ago still count now?"
The Grand Elder sneered, "A waste is a waste, without self-awareness! If you want to humiliate yourself, I naturally have no objection!"
Qin Hao's expression remained unchanged. He asked again, "If I win, will I still be the Qin Family Young Lord, and can my father be the Qin Family Head?"
The Grand Elder laughed in anger and roared, "Boastful! If you can defeat Qin Fang, I will have nothing more to say! But if you lose, get out of the Qin Family!"
In the past half month, he had not only personally instructed him but also mobilized a large amount of Family resources for Qin Fang to Cultivate.
Now, Qin Fang's cultivation had broken through from the Early Stage of Body Tempering Realm Third Level to the Peak of Body Tempering Realm Fourth Level, and his Swordplay had reached the Minor Achievement stage.
Such a cultivation speed was already quite remarkable!
In the square, there was also a burst of mockery.
"Bah, an overconfident fool!"
"Young Lord Qin Fang, you must teach this waste a good lesson!"
"Kill him!"
..."Since the Grand Elder says so, let's begin!"
Qin Hao leaped onto the arena.
Qin Yuntian's face slightly changed, "Hao'er, don't be impulsive!"
On the high platform, Qin Gaochi, fearing Qin Yuntian's obstruction, laughed loudly and said, "Good! Qin Hao, since you are seeking death, we will grant your wish! Don't say later that we didn't give you a chance!"
"Now, everyone in the Qin Family can bear witness!"
At this point, Qin Gaochi sneered and said, "However, on the arena, swords have no eyes. Once you step onto the arena, Life and Death are your own responsibility!"
"Fang'er, listen carefully. While it's a spar, do not harm this waste Qin Hao's life."
Although he said that, Qin Gaochi's tone was incredibly cold.
Qin Fang naturally understood Qin Gaochi's implied meaning. Hearing this, he excitedly said, "Father, your son understands. Hehe, today, I will surely make Qin Hao never forget!"
Qin Fang emphasized the four words "never forget."
Qin Yuntian's face changed several times. He was about to speak, but saw Qin Hao shake his head slightly, signaling him not to worry.
"So be it, so be it. If Hao'er loses, I will take him back to the countryside, away from worldly affairs, and live a peaceful life. That might not be impossible." Qin Yuntian sighed inwardly and no longer stopped Qin Hao from going onto the arena.
However, he was determined that if Qin Hao was in danger, even if it cost him his old life, he would protect Qin Hao!
...On the arena, Qin Fang sneered, "Qin Hao, today I will let you taste what it's like to be trampled underfoot. You should be honored to become the stepping stone for me to reach the Peak of the Martial Dao!"
Qin Hao looked at Qin Fang as if he were an idiot, and said indifferently, "So much nonsense. To deal with you, one sword is enough!"
"Qin Hao, you truly don't know your place. Do you think you are still that high and mighty Genius? You are now just trash with a First-Grade Martial Soul, and you should be kneeling at my feet begging for mercy!"
Qin Fang was enraged. In his opinion, Qin Hao should immediately kneel and beg for his life upon seeing him.
But this guy was not only incredibly indifferent but also extremely arrogant.
"Qin Hao, you'll spend the rest of your life in bed!"
Killing intent flashed in Qin Fang's eyes. The iron sword in his hand fiercely thrust towards Qin Hao.
"Qingfeng Swordplay!"
Swish, swish, swish!
The iron sword in Qin Fang's hand seemed to transform into a willow branch, swaying with the Qingfeng, moving incredibly fast.
"Hiss! It's the Minor Achievement stage of Qingfeng Swordplay!"
"I've Cultivated this Swordplay, and it's extremely difficult! It took me half a year to barely reach Minor Achievement. Young Lord Qin Fang has been Cultivating Qingfeng Swordplay for less than half a month and has already reached the Minor Achievement stage. As expected of a Genius with a Third-Grade Martial Soul!"
"This waste Qin Hao actually still wants to challenge Young Lord Qin Fang. He's dead for sure now."
Everyone looked at Qin Fang with reverence.
Qin Gaochi laughed loudly, extremely proud.
The Grand Elder nodded and stroked his beard, very satisfied with Qin Fang's performance.
Only Qin Yuntian watched the arena nervously.
"Sword Drawing Technique!"
Suddenly, Qin Hao moved.
Fast!
So fast that almost no one reacted!
"Ah!"
Bang!
Qin Fang's vision blurred. Before he could figure out what was happening, he felt a stinging pain in his chest, and his body flew out of the arena with a bang.
One sword, Qin Fang was defeated!
Silence.
The entire square was silent.
"This... Young Lord Qin Fang actually lost."
"How is that possible? How could this waste Qin Hao have such strong power?"
"I didn't see wrong, did I? The Aura Qin Hao just released was clearly a cultivation of Body Tempering Realm Fourth Level Middle Stage."
The crowd discussed in astonishment.
Qin Yuntian, Qin Gaochi, and the many Elders were all filled with shock.
Qin Hao... actually won?
Clang!
The iron sword returned to its scabbard.
"Vulnerable!"
Qin Hao coldly looked at Qin Fang below the arena and mocked, "Qin Fang, you keep calling me a waste. Now that you've been defeated by me, what do you count as? The waste among wastes?"
"You, you, you..."
Qin Fang was so angry that he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his face growing paler.
"Fang'er!!!"
"Qin Hao, how dare you hurt my son!"
Qin Gaochi came to his senses, his eyes bloodshot. He leaped up and struck a palm towards Qin Hao.
"Old scoundrel, you really would ambush!"
Qin Hao had long been on guard against Qin Gaochi. Seeing this, he unhesitatingly slashed with his sword.
"Sword Drawing Technique!"
"Great Dao Spirit Stealing Art!"
A small golden sword suddenly appeared from within Qin Hao's body, hidden within the iron sword.
With a bang, the iron sword and Qin Gaochi's palm met.
A terrifying power was transmitted to the iron sword, absorbed by the small golden sword, and in an instant, the small golden sword withered considerably.
Even so, some of the power still struck Qin Hao's body.
Qin Hao grunted, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. A great force struck him, and his body staggered back more than ten meters.
"How is that possible? He took a palm from me and didn't die!" Qin Gaochi was both shocked and enraged. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he fiercely struck another palm.
"Qin Gaochi, you are despicable and shameless, daring to attack a junior!"
Qin Yuntian was both surprised and angry. Qin Gaochi's attack was too sudden; even he didn't react in time.
Qin Yuntian roared in anger, his body flashed, and he stood in front of Qin Hao, also striking out with a palm.
Boom!
Qin Yuntian was a Meridian Opening Realm First Level expert. Under one palm, Qin Gaochi staggered back several steps.
"Hao'er, how is your injury?" Qin Yuntian turned to look at Qin Hao, his face ashen.
Qin Hao took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, and said, "Father, I'm fine."
Seeing this, Qin Yuntian was also a little surprised. If it were anyone else, they would probably be seriously injured if not dead, but Qin Hao seemed to have only suffered some minor injuries.
However, Qin Yuntian's anger grew even stronger. He growled, "Qin Gaochi, my son has won this battle and retained his Qin Family Young Lord status. As the Qin Family Grand Elder, you dared to attack the Qin Family Young Lord. What is your crime!"
"Enough! All of you, stop!"
At this moment, a figure stood in front of Qin Yuntian. It was the Grand Elder.
"Grand Elder, Fang'er he..." Qin Gaochi knew that with Qin Yuntian present, he couldn't kill Qin Hao again. He immediately flashed to Qin Fang's side. Looking at the severely injured Qin Fang, Qin Gaochi was extremely anxious.
"Give this Medicinal Pill to Qin Fang and quickly take him away to heal!" The Grand Elder took out a Medicinal Pill.
"Yes!" Qin Gaochi took the Medicinal Pill and quickly went to Qin Fang's side. As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, Qin Fang's chaotic Aura gradually calmed down.
Seeing this, the Grand Elder let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Qin Yuntian and Qin Hao, his face instantly becoming incredibly cold. He said with disgust, "Qin Yuntian, are you satisfied now? Must you really cause our Qin Family to fall apart!"
"And you, Qin Hao, don't think I don't know how your cultivation improved. A mere waste with a First-Grade Martial Soul, forcibly breaking through using Heaven And Earth Treasure, will have no future!"
Qin Hao coldly said, "My future is not for the Grand Elder to worry about! Now, do you still want to strip my father of his Family Head position, and do you still want to expel me from the Family register?"
"Qin Hao, you will pay the price for your actions!"
The Grand Elder's face instantly became incredibly ugly. He snorted angrily, leaped, and headed towards Qin Fang. The most urgent task was to first treat Qin Fang's injuries.
In the blink of an eye, the Grand Elder, Qin Gaochi, and Qin Fang disappeared.
The many Qin Family Disciples in the square were all dumbfounded, their minds still not processing what had happened.
