“This is impossible! How could Qin Hao, that good-for-nothing, defeat Young Lord Qin Fang with a single sword strike!”
“Isn’t he a First-Grade Martial Soul? How could this be? How could this be?”
In the crowd, Qin Zhong and Qin Hua looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
Half a month ago, they learned that Qin Hao had twenty body tempering pills, so they deliberately sought trouble with Qin Hao, only to be severely taught a lesson by him.
They originally thought that Qin Hao would surely be trampled by Qin Fang today, and they would also be able to seize the opportunity for revenge.
But the result was that Qin Fang lost!
The two of them, terrified, quickly shrank back into the crowd, afraid of being seen by Qin Hao.
The numerous Qin Family Disciples also came back to their senses, their faces all filled with shock.
Many of those who had just been belittling Qin Hao now showed a hint of fear in their eyes.
This world was inherently like this: the strong were respected, and the strength Qin Hao displayed was enough to make them revere him!
... Qin Family, Young Master's Residence.
A burst of hearty laughter rang out, and Qin Yuntian laughed, “Hao’er, you’ve kept me in the dark so well, making me worry for nothing, but, well done! Today, Qin Gaochi’s face is completely gone!”
Qin Hao chuckled, not intending to hide anything, and said, “Father, actually, this time in the Mo Lin Mountain Range, I…”
Before he could finish, Qin Yuntian waved his hand and said seriously, “You don’t need to say! Remember, no matter what fortuitous encounter you have, or what you gain, you don’t need to tell anyone, not even me.”
In Qin Yuntian’s opinion, Qin Hao must have had some fortuitous encounter in the Mo Lin Mountain Range this time; otherwise, with a First-Grade Martial Soul Aptitude, how difficult would it be to Cultivate to the Body Tempering Realm fourth level?
But he had to tell Qin Hao the principle that 'a treasure invites trouble'.
“Father, I remember.”
Qin Hao nodded heavily, then mused, “Father, there’s one more thing I need your help with.”
“What is it?” Qin Yuntian’s smile remained on his face.
“I want a hundred body tempering pills!” Qin Hao paused.
“How many?” Qin Yuntian’s eyes widened.
The entire Qin Family’s annual output was only a few hundred body tempering pills.
If Qin Hao took a hundred at once, if Qin Gaochi knew, there would surely be another verbal battle!
Before Qin Hao could speak, a fierce glint flashed in Qin Yuntian’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “No problem! Hao’er, this afternoon, I will have Liu Wei deliver the Medicinal Pill to you.”
With that, Qin Yuntian strode out.
“Father…”
Looking at Qin Yuntian’s departing back, Qin Hao felt touched.
He clearly understood the concept of a hundred body tempering pills, but Qin Yuntian agreed without hesitation, not even asking what he wanted to do with them.
“Father, don’t worry, I will definitely not let you down.” Qin Hao clenched his fists, while also thinking to himself, “A hundred body tempering pills should be enough for me to Breakthrough to a Third-Grade Martial Soul, right?”
The Myriad Manifestations Genius Battle was imminent!
Qin Hao had to speed up his Cultivation, and the improvement of his Martial Soul was the most crucial part.
However, he wasn't sure if a hundred body tempering pills would be enough for his Martial Soul to advance.
In the evening, just as Qin Hao was practicing his sword, Liu Wei strode in, his face a mix of surprise and relief.
“Qin Hao, these are a hundred body tempering pills.”
Liu Wei placed ten bottles on the table; each glass bottle contained ten body tempering pills. He paused, then continued, “Although you defeated Qin Fang this morning, your father mobilizing a hundred body tempering pills will surely cause a stir if word gets out. You must not let down the Family Head’s efforts.”
“I understand, Uncle Liu. The Myriad Manifestations Genius Battle is imminent, and I must have these hundred body tempering pills!” Qin Hao nodded, “At the Genius Battle, I will prove myself with my strength!”
Liu Wei looked deeply at Qin Hao, “I’ll act as your Protector outside. You focus on Cultivating.”
“Thank you, Uncle Liu!” Qin Hao said gratefully.
After Liu Wei left, Qin Hao sat cross-legged, a look of anticipation in his eyes.
He Cultivated the Great Dao Spirit Stealing Art with a Second-Grade Martial Soul, and his Cultivation speed was already incredibly fast!
If he successfully Breakthrough to a Third-Grade Martial Soul this time, then Qin Hao was confident he could Breakthrough to the Body Tempering Realm seventh level before the Myriad Manifestations Genius Battle began!
“Now, let’s begin!”
“Sword Soul!”
Qin Hao’s heart stirred, and with a whoosh, a small golden sword suddenly appeared before him.
The Sword Soul had taken a palm strike from Qin Gaochi and was now weak and dispirited, its golden light much dimmer.
“Great Dao Spirit Stealing Art!”
Qin Hao opened a bottle of body tempering pills, took one out, swallowed it, and at the same time, activated the Great Dao Spirit Stealing Art. Immediately, he felt the Medicinal Pill’s effects rapidly convert into a pure energy that surged into the small golden sword.
In an instant, the small golden sword’s light brightened slightly.
Without stopping, Qin Hao continued to consume the body tempering pills.
Ten pills!
Twenty pills!
... Half an hour later, Qin Hao had already consumed a full thirty-eight body tempering pills.
At this moment, the small golden sword was no longer weak, but instead radiated golden light, extremely dazzling and brilliant.
However, there were still no signs of a Breakthrough.
“Thirty-eight pills aren’t enough, then it’s a hundred!”
Qin Hao gritted his teeth, took out all the body tempering pills, and consumed them one after another with hardly any pause.
At the same time, waves of majestic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into the Young Master's Residence at an extremely fast speed.
Within a hundred-meter radius, it was as if a vacuum had formed, with almost no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi remaining.
Outside the Young Master's Residence, Liu Wei felt the changes in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.
Liu Wei had followed Qin Yuntian for many years, and his Cultivation had long reached the Body Tempering Realm ninth level. With such Cultivation, he could naturally and easily sense the Spiritual Qi in the world.
However, the surge of Spiritual Qi at this moment was too abnormal, too rapid!
Even an ordinary Body Tempering Realm Martial Artist could clearly feel it.
“What kind of Cultivation Technique is this, to be able to draw such majestic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!” Liu Wei was shocked.
Such a terrifying Cultivation Technique for absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was unheard of by him, and there was no record of it in the Qin Family’s library.
“This boy, he probably had a great fortuitous encounter.”
While Liu Wei was shocked, a hint of pleasant surprise also appeared on his face.
He had followed Qin Yuntian for many years and had practically watched Qin Hao grow up. When Qin Hao was tested and found to have a First-Grade Martial Soul, he was also disappointed and sad. Now that Qin Hao could achieve something, Liu Wei was happy from the bottom of his heart.
As he thought this, Liu Wei became even more vigilant, constantly patrolling around the Young Master's Residence to prevent anyone from approaching.
Time passed quickly, and it was morning in the blink of an eye.
Inside the room, Qin Hao stared intently at the small golden sword floating in front of his chest, a look of discouragement on his face.
On the ground were ten empty glass bottles.
He had failed!
“A full hundred body tempering pills, and my Martial Soul still couldn’t Breakthrough to Third-Grade!”
Qin Hao gritted his teeth. He had long expected that each grade increase of his Martial Soul would require an enormous amount of Medicinal Pills, but he hadn’t expected that a hundred body tempering pills wouldn’t be enough.
This was five times the amount of body tempering pills used to go from First-Grade to Second-Grade!
Bang!
Suddenly, the room door opened, and a figure rushed in—it was Liu Wei.
At this moment, Liu Wei’s eyes were red, his expression incredibly agitated, and he said, “Qin Hao, I don’t know what you need so many body tempering pills for, but after guarding you all night, I can feel the changes in your Qi. These are the one hundred thousand taels I’ve saved since following your father. Take them and buy Medicinal Pills!”
Saying this, Liu Wei pulled ten silver notes from his embrace and slapped them on the table.
