Chapter 57 - The Top Ten Geniuses (1/2)

Qin Nan did not immediately accept the offer; he asked calmly, “Blue Dragon Badges? How do you know where they are located?”

Before the Trial of Versatility took place, the five elders only told the disciples that there would be thirty Blue Dragon Badges on the Island of Versatility—they did not mention the exact locations of these badges.

The Island of Versatility covered at least a thousand square miles—it was a very big island. How did Xiao Leng know where the badges were?

Xiao Leng said, “On this Island of Versatility, our seniors from the Mystic Spirit Sect left plenty of maps. These maps show where the precious resources could be found. At the same time, some of the maps would mark where the Blue Dragon Badges were. There were five of these maps, and each map contains two Blue Dragon Badges.”

Xiao Leng hesitated for a while before continuing, “Rumor says that when these five maps are combined together, the remaining twenty Blue Dragon Badges could then be found.”

Qin Nan was quite convinced after hearing the words.

He had only managed to find the Violet Flame Flowers with the help of his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit, while Lee Changyun on the other hand, found the flowers following the guidance of a map.

Qin Nan took some time to process his thoughts, and then said, “How do we do this?”

Even though Qin Nan’s current priority was to improve his cultivation, finding the Blue Dragon Badges was his goal too.

“I once possessed the map, but it was stolen by Wang Meng, who is ranked ninth among the top ten geniuses.” A cold flicker appeared in Xiao Leng’s eyes, as he said angrily, “If we cooperate, I will deal with this Wang Meng, but handling the other two seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm disciples who are his subordinates would be your job.”

After saying this, Xiao Leng glanced at Qin Nan immediately.

The truth was that, in his true thoughts, Xiao Leng was extremely unwilling to work together with Qin Nan. Apart from looking down on Qin Nan since they had met, he also offended so many disciples previously.

However, it was impossible to handle Wang Meng and his followers with his own strength; thus, he was forced to lower his status and team up with Qin Nan.

Qin Nan did not tell Xiao Leng his decision, but asked out of interest, “Who are the top ten geniuses?”

Since arriving at the Mystic Spirit Sect, Qin Nan had spent his time learning Martial Skills at the Skill Library, or cultivating. He was clueless as to what this meant.

“Among the new disciples, there exists two different rankings. The first one is referring to the top two super geniuses—Huang Long and Ling Zixiao. Behind them, are the top ten geniuses.” A smug expression appeared on Xiao Leng’s face. “All the top ten geniuses possess Martial Spirits with an eighth-grade Huang rank. They are ranked according to their cultivation base. For example, I am ranked tenth among the top ten geniuses.”

After finishing the sentence, Xiao Leng glanced at Qin Nan.

Normally, Qin Nan would be listed as one of the top ten geniuses, as he possessed an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

However, since Qin Nan had offended Ling Zixiao and the other two hundred and twenty disciples, he was already considered a dead man—thus he was not included in the ranking.

“I see.” Qin Nan paused for a while, and then nodded, “Sure, I’ll team up with you.”

Qin Nan did not suspect anything fishy, even though he was not fond of Xiao Leng; he was more trustworthy when compared to the other disciples.

This was because Xiao Leng was Xiao Qingxue’s brother, and Xiao Qingxue had helped him out on many occasions.

“I still remember the way to the location on the map, we’ll move out immediately. Although there are some monsters guarding the map, they won’t last long facing Wang Meng and his group.” After Qin Nan accepted his offer, Xiao Leng immediately gathered his strength and sprang forward in a rush with his movement technique.

Qin Nan shook his head after seeing Xiao Leng’s reaction; he then followed behind him.

The two advanced forward among the wooden braches for a period, before stopping on a big tree.

Xiao Leng scanned the area before him while squinting his eyes, and said with a low tone, “Don’t make a sound, we’ll confront them after they finish killing the monsters.”

Qin Nan nodded his head and concealed his presence, while gazing forward.

Before them was a lake, and at the center of the lake was a platform made of stone. On top of the platform were two jade pendants. The pendants emitted a weak, but extraordinary blue light when the sunlight shone upon them.

These two pendants were the Blue Dragon Badges.
