Chapter 86 - The Great Battle Begins (1/2)

Even Xu Qian, an inner disciple, was dumbfounded by Qin Nan’s words.

It was his first time seeing a person with an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a cultivation base of the eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm take the initiative to challenge a tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm super genius with a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

What difference is there between his current actions and committing suicide?

The whole place went silent for a brief moment, before exploding with a huge chatter.

“Oh god, is this Qin Nan crazy, challenging Ling Zixiao directly?”

“Tsk, I really learned what it means to be scornful and ruthless now. Qin Nan is a pretty good example!”

“F**k, does Qin Nan not care about his life? The difference between him and Ling Zixiao is so huge, why would he challenge him like that?”

“An eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm genius challenging a tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm super genius—what’s the difference between this and committing suicide?”

……

Apart from the disciples, even Chu Yun, Xiao Leng, and Huang Long were completely stunned.

Chu Yun was the first one to react, as she blurted out, “Junior Brother Qin Nan, don’t be reckless…”

She stopped in the midst of her speech, and exchanged glances with Xiao Leng and Huang Long; she could see a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

Although they had only met Qin Nan not long ago, they clearly knew that no one could change his decision after he had his mind made up.

The three could only take a deep breath, and decided in their hearts to interfere if anything went wrong, to prevent Qin Nan from being slain.

Meanwhile, Ling Zixiao stood there with a blank expression on his face after being challenged directly by Qin Nan.

The hatred in his heart had expanded to such a level that no one would be able to stop him from killing Qin Nan. Despite that, he had never expected Qin Nan to challenge him upfront.

Could it be that this guy has the confidence to defeat me?

“Why would I fight you one on one?” Ling Zixiao inhaled deeply and said with a cold expression, “I’ve got over fifty geniuses here, and you only have four. You guys are sure to die if the battle breaks out. I have no intention to fight you alone. I plan to crush you all with the larger quantity I have.”

This time, Ling Zixiao chose not to accept Qin Nan’s challenge immediately.

He had lost to Qin Nan two times in a row; every time, he always thought himself as the winner, but in the end, he turned out to be the loser.

Ling Zixiao’s words continued to stun the crowd.

They never expected Ling Zixiao to be so cautious in dealing with Qin Nan’s challenge.

On the other hand, Qin Nan let out a smile after hearing these words, and said, “I did expect you would reject my challenge. You were defeated in both Martial Skill Talent and Martial Heart. It is reasonable that you are scared to be defeated again in this duel.”

Obviously, these words served as clear prodding.

Despite that, everyone could see Ling Zixiao’s face twist completely at this moment.

The words had touched upon the scar on his heart.

“Well, well, well.” Ling Zixiao laughed hollowly, as his eyes filled with murderous intent, “Qin Nan, since you’ve prodded me so, I’ll fulfill your wish. I would like to see how you plan to defeat me with your meager cultivation!”

After saying this, Ling Zixiao stepped forward and unleashed the suppressing aura with his ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit toward the crowd.

The disciples were left speechless after witnessing this.
