"This cave has a secret. Let's go in and take a look."
Qin Chuan looked at the dark cave and said calmly.
The cave was not originally deep.
But when the old man rushed out, he broke through a stone wall, as if breaking through a membrane, and a deeper cave inside was revealed.
That deep cave seems to be able to devour lives!
"Will this... be dangerous?"
Qin Zi asked instinctively, but after asking, he almost slapped himself.
Isn’t this nonsense!
With his father here, what danger could there be? What kind of demon or ghost dares to act so arrogantly in front of his father?
"Come on, you go ahead."
Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.
Qin Zi was stunned.
Then he quickly realized that his father was clearly training his courage! !
Thinking about how he had just said such a useless thing, his face turned red.
Dad must be very disappointed in him.
Thinking of this, he decided to make up for his mistake and let his father see his courage and let his father know that he, Qin Zi, was not a coward!
So Qin Zi held his head high and walked towards the cave.
But courage aside, Qin Zi couldn't help but breathe heavily when looking at the dark and deep cave.
My whole body is tense.
He was walking on thin ice, with the center of gravity of his upper body slightly leaning back, and his feet moving alternately along the ground, exploring the way forward.
It seemed as if he was afraid of stepping into a trap.
"Why……"
At this time, Qin Chuan behind Qin Zi sighed and said helplessly: "Your father is here, what are you afraid of?"
"I!!"
Qin Zi's face flushed.
Qin Chuan said calmly: "If you want to overcome fear, the best way is to face it, or even... provoke it."
"Provoking fear?"
Qin Zi was a little confused.
“To put it simply, no matter what’s inside this cave, you just need to be a little arrogant. Be as arrogant as you want.”
Qin Chuan said.
"Then...what should I do?"
Qin Zi was confused.
"Scold, curse to death! No matter what that unknown existence is, or how powerful it is, you have to think of it as worthless!"
Qin Chuan's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Qin Zi's body trembled violently, and then a bright light shot out of his eyes. He nodded excitedly: "I understand!!"
Then he took a deep breath and started cursing inside.
"Listen, grandson in the cave, your grandfather is here, and your great-grandfather is here too, hurry up and come out to greet him!"
"Are those who hide their heads and show their tails too ashamed to face people? Did your father sleep with a wild boar in the mountains and give birth to you so ugly?"
"Oh, what a sin! I already asked for a litter of sows for him back home. Why did I have to go to the mountains and do such a shameful thing..."
Qin Zi started to spit out insults as soon as he opened his mouth.
It can be seen that he is very talented.
As this arrogant and vulgar curse echoed in the cave, the fear of the unknown in his heart really weakened.
So, his joystick slowly straightened up, and his steps became more steady, no longer as cautious as before.
Walk arrogantly and the demons will be panicked!
Qin Chuan, listening to his adopted son's naturally learned swearing skills, nodded in satisfaction.
This way, it's safe.
However, unlike what Qin Chuan had imagined, this dark cave was very long, but there were no monsters or demons lurking there.
The two walked for a long time without encountering any danger.
Finally, they came to the end of the cave.
The mountain above seemed to have cracked open a narrow gap, and a ray of white light shone down, illuminating the scene ahead.
That is a huge stone gate!!
This stone gate is more than ten feet high and seven or eight feet wide. It is desolate and ancient, and there are patterns of various ferocious beasts carved on its surface, as if the intention was to use the hostility of these beasts to suppress something inside.
"Dad, this..."
Qin Zi turned around and looked at his father.
Qin Chuan looked at the huge stone gate, frowned slightly, then stepped forward and gently placed his right hand on the gate.
“Buzz!”
His brows glowed, and powerful spiritual power emanated from his body, spreading along his palms and onto the stone gate.
He wanted to explore it.
"boom!"
However, in his perception, there seemed to be an extremely powerful torrent rushing towards him, directly destroying his spiritual power!
Not only that, this torrent also wanted to backfire on him. The violent force was so strong that he almost spurted blood on the spot!
However, the Prison-Suppressing Cauldron in his Dantian vibrated, emitting a suppressive force that offset the torrent.
That was a close call!
Almost lost face!
He was terrified in his heart, but his expression remained calm and he continued to be as steady as an old dog.
He slowly withdrew his hand and stood with his hands behind his back again, looking indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Qin Zi asked expectantly.
Qin Chuan did not answer him. Instead, he looked up at the top of the stone gate with an unfathomable smile on his face.
“Haha, interesting…”
Then, without waiting for Qin Zi to ask again, he looked at Qin Zi and said with a smile: "Don't ask. With your current strength, it's meaningless to know. It will only add to your troubles."
"There is a great opportunity here. Of course, it will be useless if Dad takes it. I'd better keep it and wait for you to come and take it yourself in the future."
After saying this, he turned around with a mysterious smile on his face and walked outside with a graceful and calm pace.
"Great opportunity!"
Qin Zi licked his tongue and breathed a little quickly. He naturally believed in his father's words.
He could see that.
My father placed his hand on the stone door just now. He must have used some magical method unknown to him to gain insight into the situation inside!
"Let's go. Your father told you to come back later, which means you can't get in now. It's useless even if you get in."
The blonde said.
"Um."
Qin Zi nodded. He touched the stone door reluctantly but felt a sharp pain.
"hiss!"
He quickly retracted his right hand and found that his hand was as if pricked by a needle and some blood was oozing out.
“It’s really a bit weird.”
Qin Zi took a deep breath, suppressed his curiosity, turned around and quickly left the cave.
What he didn't know was.
When he left, the stone door absorbed his blood, and the pattern on it seemed to come back to life. Then, the stone door opened...
However, it seemed to have noticed that no one had entered, so after opening for a while, it closed again.
…
When Qin Chuan brought Qin Zi back to the Seven Martial Sect, they immediately attracted a lot of people to watch, as if they were watching a new bride.
After all, such a big thing happened before, and the core of this matter was Qin Zi.
Therefore, everyone unconsciously wants to see if there are any changes in this rumored male protagonist after his return this time.
It seems like he wants to get to know him again.
"Wow, that's Senior Brother Qin Zi. I never noticed him before, but he's so handsome!"
"And he's very strong."
"Yes, being able to hold back five Nirvana Realm warriors and successfully escape is truly an impressive feat."
"Who do you think is stronger, him or Senior Brother Zhao Yunsheng?"
"This... Senior Brother Zhao has always been the sect's number one prodigy, but now... it's hard to say."
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhao is here!"
Soon, someone saw a figure walking silently by the side. It was Zhao Yunsheng.
The eldest senior brother of the Seven Martial Sect walked by hurriedly, seemingly not hearing any discussions and not wanting to be seen.
But he was still surrounded.
"Brother Zhao, many people are now speculating about who is stronger between you and Brother Qin Zi. What do you think?"
A disciple asked with a smile.
The reason why he dared to ask this was because everyone knew that Senior Brother Zhao had a good temper and never minded these things.
"Haha, I haven't fought before, how should I know?"
Zhao Yunsheng smiled and shook his head, saying gently: "Besides, we are all brothers from the same sect. Who is stronger and who is weaker doesn't matter?"
"Brother Zhao is right. But as the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. We still need to clarify this."
A disciple said persistently.
"There's still a long way to go. Even if there really is a difference between the strong and the weak, it's only temporary. Why take it so seriously?"
"If those who are strong now are arrogant, they may be surpassed by others. If those who are weak now practice hard, they can catch up. So... instead of worrying about these things, it is better to practice hard!"
Zhao Yunsheng laughed and cursed, and knocked each of these disciples on the head, then walked away.
Several people were stunned.
Then he slowly came to his senses, staring blankly at Zhao Yunsheng's elegant back, and touching the place where he was hit with his hand.
"Senior Brother Zhao... is so graceful."
"Uh-huh."
"Me too."
There was some heat in their hearts.
This knock, seemingly without any power, broke the invisible boundary between people and transcended the distinction between high and low.
Just imagine, when your boss or idol hits you on the head while scolding you and laughing, wouldn’t it feel friendly?
Of course, they didn't know that their approachable senior brother's face became increasingly cold after he turned around.
Even became gloomy.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and his hands clenched in his sleeves made a crackling sound.
Does he mind this kind of discussion?
He cares!!
He can be very gentle to his fellow junior fellow students, without putting on airs, and can even bend down to care about many people.
But... he must bend down instead of looking up at others!
This is his Achilles' heel!
He, Zhao Yunsheng, is the son of the sect leader Zhao Panlong. He has been shouldering the mission since he was young, to become the number one prodigy among the Seven Martial Sects, or even the strongest!
No one can stand in his way!
"Qin Zi...you can't even think about defeating me!!"
