At this moment, on the training ground, Qin Yunfei's Wind-Riding Spear was already hurtling towards Qin Xin.
The true energy fluctuations on the Wind-Riding Spear made a sound as it rubbed against the air. In Qin Xin's eyes, the Wind-Riding Spear, rushing towards him, was like a cheetah.
This time, Qin Xin didn't dodge at all, but instead closed his eyes.
"Has this kid been scared out of his wits?"
Seeing Qin Xin's appearance, the clansmen outside the training ground all felt a sense of doubt from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, Qin Lin's surroundings surged with true energy, and his robes began to flutter as he circulated the true energy, preparing to save Qin Xin as soon as possible. The Grand Elder Qin Maoyan beside him also circulated his true energy, and the atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point.
"Clan leader, don't be anxious, the battle is not over yet," Qin Maoyan said, staring intently at Qin Lin.
"Hmph!" Qin Lin ignored him, because all his attention was focused on Qin Xin.
Faced with Qin Yunfei's powerful attack, Qin Xin had already activated his spiritual sense and opened his eyes again, a barely perceptible glint flashing in his pupils.
In Qin Xin's eyes, Qin Yunfei's Wind-Riding Spear was full of flaws at this moment, just as the charged attack was about to make contact with Qin Xin.
A gasp rippled through the training ground, as if everyone had already foreseen the scene of Qin Xin's blood staining the ground. Zi Ling, who had been standing behind Qin Xue on the high platform, covered her eyes, and the tear tracks on her cheeks revealed her sorrow.
"Thump!"
A tremendous sound came from the center of the training ground.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and the scene before them widened their eyes even more.
"How is this possible!" Qin Yunfeng exclaimed in surprise.
The young man beside him, dressed in black and looking somewhat sinister, smiled slightly, a greedy glint in his eyes. He licked his lips and said, "The body modified with martial bones is indeed extraordinary, it's a pity he was born into a collateral branch."
"What, Brother Qianbei, are you interested in this good-for-nothing?" Qin Yunfeng asked upon hearing this.
However, one could clearly sense Qin Yunfeng's duplicity from his words, because Qin Qianbei held a certain position within the clan. As for why he would travel such a long distance to the remote Tianyuan Qin clan, that remained a mystery.
"Useless?" Qin Qianbei muttered to himself, without answering Qin Yunfeng's question.
"Well done! So this little rascal has been hiding his true colors all along. Ziling, were you also keeping it a secret from me?"
At this moment, Qin Xue, dressed in her martial arts uniform, let out a long sigh of relief. Her already voluptuous figure rippled slightly with each breath.
"I don't know why Brother Qin Xin is so amazing." Zi Ling shook her head, but her tearful eyes were filled with joy.
In the training ground, Qin Xin dodged Qin Yunfei's powerful attack with a very strange posture, and even kicked Qin Yunfei's buttocks hard, using the force to dodge behind him, while Qin Yunfei fell flat on his face.
"Ah, you piece of trash, I'm going to kill you!"
Qin Yunfei, who had suffered a great loss at Qin Xin's hands, felt ashamed and indignant. His anger caused him to lose his reason in an instant.
He turned around and attacked Qin Xin once again.
"You want to kill me?" A cold smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips.
Just as Qin Yunfei's Wind-Riding Spear approached Qin Xin, a black staff blocked the tip of the spear that was shooting towards him.
"Smack!"
The crisp sound instantly resounded throughout the entire training ground.
Because the moment the black stick made contact with the wind-controlling spear, Qin Xin had already freed his hand and slapped it directly onto Qin Yunfei's face.
Qin Feiyun's vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground. Qin Xin had used a lot of force in that palm strike.
"You keep calling me a piece of trash, what have I done to offend you?"
"Smack!"
Another slap landed on Qin Feiyun's face. This time, Qin Xin showed no mercy. Blood seeped from the corner of Qin Feiyun's mouth, and he fainted.
Just as Qin Xin was about to slap Qin Feiyun again, a powerful surge of true energy forced him back, causing a churning in his chest and resulting in some internal injuries.
"You scoundrel! How could you be so cruel and vicious!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared in the martial arts arena. Judging from his attire, he was a member of the Tianyuan Qin Clan. When he turned around, Qin Xin also saw the face of the person in front of him. It was Qin Feiyun and Qin Yunfeng's father, Qin Yangxu.
"Yang Xu, now that you're back, please go and take a seat on the platform. Qin Xin wins this match."
Seeing Qin Yangxu rush into the martial arts arena, Qin Qianfan quickly stood in front of Qin Xin. Qin Yangxu had been involved in mercenary groups for many years and was ruthless. People in the clan would avoid him. He had just completed a mission for the mercenary group and hurriedly returned to the clan. As soon as he stepped into the martial arts arena, he saw his son being slapped unconscious.
"Which hand did you use to hit my son Yunfei!"
Qin Yangxu ignored Qin Qianfan, his eyes fixed on Qin Xin, revealing a strong killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.
Qin Xin held his head high, unfazed by Qin Yangxu's intimidation, "What, you beat the kid, so the old man's here?"
"You're that little piece of trash, aren't you? I never thought you'd still be alive, and even manage to defeat my son." As Qin Yangxu spoke, crimson true energy enveloped his entire body, and several acupoints on his body were fully activated.
"Yang Xu, this is a clan competition! What are you trying to do!"
Qin Qianfan was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Yangxu's actions. Although they were both martial artists at the Qi Opening Realm, and Qin Qianfan was even a level higher than Qin Yangxu, he was not entirely confident that he could protect Qin Xin.
"Why is the Grand Elder silent at this moment?"
On the high platform, Qin Lin glanced at Qin Yangxu, who was surrounded by crimson true energy, and then looked at the Grand Elder Qin Maoyan beside him.
"Xu'er, step back."
Qin Maoyan said something indifferently. Although Qin Yangxu was unwilling, he was worried about Qin Yunfei's injury, so he hurriedly carried him away from the training ground. As he left, he did not forget to glare fiercely at Qin Xin, as if he was marking his prey.
After the first stage of the competition ended, Qin Kunpeng, Qin Shuo, Qin Xin, and three others advanced to the next round.
"The next competition involves young disciples in the Acquired Realm and the Innate Realm within the clan. Because of their different cultivation times, for the sake of fairness, the second round will not be a ring competition, but a points competition."
"This competition will take place in the hunting grounds behind the mountain, where many demonic beasts live. They were all captured by the clan from the Dead Leaf Forest. As long as you kill these demonic beasts and obtain their beast crystals, you will get corresponding points. The one with the most points will be the champion of this clan competition. The top five can enter the clan's Spirit Cleansing Pool!"
"Of course, the more beast crystals you collect, the better their quality, and the longer they will stay in the Spirit Cleansing Pool, which will be of greater help to a martial artist's cultivation."
After Qin Qianfan finished speaking, he told his clansmen to return and rest first, and all the participating disciples would also rest for a day before entering the hunting grounds.
"Good job, kid."
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Qin Qianfan came up to Qin Xin and patted him on the shoulder, to which Qin Xin nodded slightly.
"Hmph, you little rascal, you're hiding your true strength. Were you deliberately concealing your abilities, just waiting for this day?"
Qin Xue followed Qin Lin over, looking at Qin Xin with curiosity.
"Sister Xue, you didn't even ask about my strength. I broke through after waking up, and I don't know why."
Qin Xin pursed his lips and said that he had no intention of telling everyone about Danqing and spiritual cultivation.
"Haha, no matter what, it's a good thing to break through. Let's celebrate tonight."
Qin Lin chuckled as he spoke, expressing his curiosity about Qin Xin's breakthrough. However, he attributed the breakthrough to the rare and precious materials he had used over the years to help Qin Xin condense his martial spirit.
Qin Lin then added, his forehead furrowing, "Xue'er, you need to keep a close eye on Qin Xin's side tomorrow. Qin Maoyan is likely to make some underhanded moves."
