Chapter 84 - Murderous Inten (1/2)

After seeing the sight before him, Xu Qian lost his mind and screamed, “A thousand steps, a thousand steps, someone has actually done it! The step which countless geniuses of the Mystic Spirit Sect failed to achieve, he has done it!”

At that instant, despite being a Martial Emperor, Xu Qian had completely lost his ground.

It was not really his fault. The sight before him was too shocking.

All the disciples had their mouths opened wide, speechless after hearing the screams.

They previously had kept on mocking Qin Nan, but in the end, not only had the reality given them a great slap on their face, Qin Nan was also the first one in the history of the Mystic Spirit Sect to achieve one thousand steps in the Trials of Versatility.

This caused them to be curious about one thing, How strong was Qin Nan’s Martial Heart?

Ling Zixiao, Xiao Yunhe, and the other geniuses were rooted on the spot, with blank expressions on their faces.

Particularly Ling Zixiao, whose mind went totally blank.

After defeating Huang Long, he would not have believed anyone to have a firmer Martial Heart than his.

No to mention that Qin Nan was always insignificant like an ant in Ling Zixiao’s eyes.

However, the scene before him was like thunder on a sunny day, which struck Ling Zixiao down from his altar high above.

Not only was Qin Nan’s Martial Heart stronger than his, it also defeated all the previous geniuses of the Mystic Spirit Sect—perfectly unmatched, placing him at the top.

Meanwhile, in the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods where the rare occurrence was taking place, Qin Nan found himself standing at the deepest part of the woods, with a smile on his face.

By achieving a thousand steps, not only had his cultivation improved to the eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm and his strength refined, his Martial Heart grew stronger and firmer, stable like a monolith.

“This Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods is actually used by the sect to train all the new disciples; if one is able to withstand its pressure, it will bring great benefits.”

Qin Nan exclaimed in his mind, before he stomped his foot on the ground and exited the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods.

As Qin Nan was walking toward the exit, a stunning sight occurred; the rare occurrence of the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods returned to its calm state, as all the bamboo shoots turned alive and created a clear pathway for Qin Nan.

Everyone, with their eyes open wide, glanced at Qin Nan as he walked out from the woods using the pathway at a slow pace.

As Qin Nan came into his sight, Xiao Leng collected his thoughts and blurted out, “Brother Nan, did… did… did you actually reach the one thousandth step, the historical achievement?”

Beside Xiao Leng stood Chu Yun, whose eyes were glistening.

Even though they both had recovered from the shock, it still felt like a dream for them. Did Qin Nan just make history, and defeat Ling Zixiao just like that?

Qin Nan smilingly nodded at the two of them, without saying anything. He then turned around toward Xu Qian as he withdrew the smile on his face and said, “Senior Brother Xu Qian, my apologies for letting you down again. I accidentally surpassed Ling Zixiao.”

After saying this, Qin Nan glanced over the crowd and said in a humble tone, “Everyone, I’m so sorry. I accidentally achieved a thousand steps.”

PA!

Everyone at the scene, including Xu Qian, felt like they had just received a great slap to their faces, resulting in a burning sensation.

These two sentences were indeed very painful to hear.

Despite that, no one dared to refute; no one dared to mock him.
