Qin Ziling really didn't know how to answer Chu Renxiong's question.

This was also his first time encountering the Philosopher's Stone. He had observed it before, and the spiritual energy it contained was terrifying.

That's the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

It's important to understand that most martial artists who have only reached the initial stage of internal energy cultivation haven't yet developed true qi. They primarily focus on physical training, integrating skillful force throughout their bodies. Even masters of the transformation stage rely on powerful internal energy to achieve the feat of injuring someone by plucking a leaf.

Only when one enters the Innate Realm can one be considered to have entered the Dao, making progress on the path of martial arts, cultivating innate true qi, and achieving the ability to release true qi externally.

However, innate true qi is just true qi. Compared to the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, it is far inferior. It can be said that the power of the same amount of true qi and spiritual qi is at least ten times different!

If we calculate the amount of true qi as equivalent to spiritual qi, and the amount of true qi of a master of innate nature is a drop of water, then the spiritual qi of heaven and earth contained in a Philosopher's Stone is a vast ocean!

One can imagine how terrifying a Philosopher's Stone must be!

Qin Ziling developed a strong interest in the person who created the Philosopher's Stone.

What kind of skill is required to contain such a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth into a tiny stone! Moreover, in a world where spiritual energy is scarce, where did they obtain so much spiritual energy from?

A single Philosopher's Stone can indeed create a super-powerful being! No wonder people in the West are so crazy about it!

Thinking of this, Qin Ziling decided to keep it a secret for now and said to Chu Renxiong, "Uncle, the Philosopher's Stone can theoretically greatly increase a person's strength, but I don't know much about its secrets. However, I still have to remind you not to be too obsessed with it, as it won't do you any good."

Chu Renxiong laughed and said, "Don't worry, since so many people are fighting over this, it's not something I can handle. I value my life more than anyone else."

Qin Ziling nodded: "Leave this matter to me. I will also deal with the Westerners as soon as possible. This Philosopher's Stone is like a hot potato."

Chu Renxiong nodded.

Two days later, Chu Xinyue and Qin Ziling returned to school.

Seeing the two enter the school gate together sparked discussion among the crowd, further confirming the rumors that their relationship was unusual, and for a time, rumors flew everywhere again.

After the last assassination attempt, the young lady has become much quieter, at least she won't actively go against Qin Ziling anymore.

This pleased Qin Ziling greatly.

Another boring class was about to begin when Qin Ziling, as usual, prepared to slump down. Suddenly, the boy in the seat in front of him turned around and called out, "Hey! Bro!"

Qin Ziling looked at him with suspicion: "Is something the matter?"

The boy had bangs that covered half his face, making him look somewhat sleazy. He asked curiously, "Didn't Hu Hao cause you any trouble?"

Normally, none of the boys who get close to Chu, the school beauty, can survive a week unscathed; they either end up with bruises or are forced to transfer schools. This guy in front of me seems pretty good.

Qin Ziling smiled and said, "What trouble could he possibly cause me? I haven't caused him any trouble yet."

The boy gasped, "Wow, that's awesome, bro! No wonder you dare to call yourself Chu's fiancé!"

Qin Ziling frowned. Had he ever claimed to be one?

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a figure, and Qin Ziling's eyes flashed with a cold light. He abruptly stood up and walked out.

"Classmate, it's class time now!" The teacher reminded Qin Ziling as he stood up.

Everyone looked at Qin Ziling with curiosity.

Qin Ziling looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, I have an upset stomach and need to go to the toilet."

"Isn't class just starting? What's with all these problems? Go now! You must be back in five minutes!" the teacher said with a displeased expression.

Qin Ziling nodded and left the classroom on his own.

Chu Xinyue looked at his retreating figure, somewhat puzzled.

What is this bastard up to now?

After leaving the classroom, Qin Ziling faced the figure in front of him, and suddenly a pen appeared in his hand. He flicked it at the other person, and the pen shot out!

puff!

"ah!"

With a scream, the man fell face-first into the dirt.

"Damn it! Who attacked me?!" The man struggled to his feet, turned around, and saw it was Hu Hao.

"It's you!" Hu Hao's expression changed when he saw Qin Ziling. He thought to himself, "How could this be? Wasn't this kid dealt with by the people I called?"

That day, he called someone to ambush the kid after school, but Huang Mao didn't reply to his messages. He thought Huang Mao had crippled the kid and run away to avoid trouble.

How could the other person be standing unharmed in front of him?

Qin Ziling walked towards Hu Hao and looked at him: "Surprised?"

Hu Hao raised an eyebrow, feigning composure, and asked, "What are you talking about? What accident?"

Qin Ziling said calmly, "You had someone ambush me. Do you think you can just let this go like this?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Hao dropped the pretense and sneered, "Kid, didn't I tell you? Getting close to my woman has serious consequences. But I'm surprised you're alright. No wonder you dared to approach Chu Xinyue, you..."

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Hao felt a sharp pain on his face, the world spun before his eyes, and he crashed to the ground.

"Awoo!"

A scream of pain startled the entire floor, and students and teachers alike peeked out to watch.

"Holy crap! Isn't that Hu Hao? How come he got slapped across the face?"

"Wasn't that Chu's fiancé the one who made the move? Did Hu Hao provoke the school beauty again and get warned by her fiancé?"

"Wow! This is going to be a good show! Hu Hao is no ordinary person; his older brother is a gangster! That guy dared to openly treat him to a big meal; he's really in trouble now!"

"Tsk tsk! They've only been in school a few days and they've already caused such a commotion. They're really something!"

"..."

Chu Xinyue's class also noticed the commotion. The young lady was speechless. Didn't you say you were going to the bathroom? Why did you go to cause trouble for Hu Hao?

She knew that Hu Hao had hired people to cause trouble for Qin Ziling, but she didn't expect him to come back as soon as she arrived at the school.

That's a vengeful bastard!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hu Hao was instantly enraged and glared angrily at Qin Ziling: "Bastard! How dare you hit me!"

Qin Ziling clapped his hands and said calmly, "I'm the kind of person who holds grudges. Didn't I tell you not to worry about me that day? Why didn't you listen?"

He was no joke about holding grudges. When he first arrived overseas, some mercenaries saw that he was from China and tried to rob him. He directly raided their headquarters and looted all their belongings. That mercenary organization was an A-level organization, and it caused a huge sensation in the area at the time.

"Listen to your mother! I'll have someone kill you!" Hu Hao said menacingly, pointing at Qin Ziling.

Qin Ziling's gaze turned cold, and he grabbed the other person's finger and twisted it.

"Ahhh!" Hu Hao cried out in pain, trying to break free but finding it futile.

"Don't say I didn't give you this chance. Call your men, call all your so-called backers!" Qin Ziling said disdainfully.
