Chapter 109 - Fighting The Tigers (1/2)

Everyone at the dojo was startled.

Among the outer disciples, the Five Tyrannical Tigers were ranked sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth; everyone knew who they were, and they had a bad reputation due to their cruel manners. Those who were targeted by them would be severely injured at the very least.

Most importantly, even Nangong Cheng—who was ranked first among the outer domain disciples—would be hesitant to face the Five Tyrannical Tigers.

This caused many in the crowd to inhale deeply, as they glanced toward Qin Nan with a hint of pity, before discussing amongst themselves.

“Who is this guy? How did he offend Nangong Ershao and the Five Tyrannical Tigers?”

“I know him, he is Qin Nan who came first in the Trial of Versatility, and made history by achieving a thousand steps in the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods. Rumors said he even defeated a super genius!”

“So it’s him. Looks like he’s in trouble.”

“Why is that? Didn’t he kill a super genius? Why would he be afraid of the Five Tyrannical Tigers?”

“First of all, it was just a rumor. Well, at least I don’t believe that he’s able to eliminate a super genius who has a higher rank than him. Although he is currently ranked fifth and has the ability to defeat any of the Five Tyrannical Tigers one on one, the Five Tyrannical Tigers are at their strongest when they fight together—Qin Nan is mismatched against them.”

……

Despite discovering Qin Nan’s identity, most of the disciples shook their heads as they assumed that Qin Nan was not strong enough to face the Five Tyrannical Tigers.

Only those who witnessed Qin Nan killing Ling Zixiao remained silent, and observed the event calmly.

Qin Nan frowned his eyebrows; he did not expect Nangong Ershao to join forces with the Five Tyrannical Tigers and find trouble with him at that instant.

Qin Nan was not afraid of them, but Li Hing’s speech had caused his Martial Heart to change slightly; thus he was determined to return to his place and go into seclusion, and had no intention of wasting any time.

“I’m busy today. Let’s talk another time.”

Qin Nan blurted out the words, before he turned around and started walking away.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Ershao burst out laughing cheerfully; in his eyes, Qin Nan was trying to escape as he was frightened.

The smiles on the Five Tyrannical Tigers’ faces turned more hideous; with a flicker, they all landed before Qin Nan and surrounded him, blocking his way.

The leader of the Five Tyrannical Tigers, Da Hu, said in a gloomy tone, “Trying to escape from our palms? Qin Nan, I heard that coming first in the Trial of Versatility has granted you incredible benefits. If you’re smart, hand over the hundred thousand Xiantian Pills, the Nine-Rotation Golden Pill, and the storage bag at once. Although we are not allowed to kill anyone, a friendly duel is still acceptable as we are now at the dojo—a severe injury would not be a problem!”

The other four tigers laughed ferociously, as their fists emitted cracking noises.

The reason they had agreed to deal with Qin Nan was first because of the benefits Nangong Ershao promised them, and secondly because of the rewards Qin Nan had received from the Trial of Versatility.

A hundred thousand Xiantian Pills, a storage bag, and the Nine-Rotation Golden Pill were considered a great fortune.

After hearing this, Qin Nan held his breath as his expression began to change and his mouth twitch.

He did not want to waste any time, but outside of his expectations, these Five Tyrannical Tigers planned to rob him of his pills, which reminded him of the nightmare that happened not long ago.

Qin Nan took a deep breath, and glanced toward the Five Tyrannical Tigers, before saying with a calm expression, “I don’t have any pills left; it looks like a friendly duel with you five is the only way.”

Following this, a ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm aura and the Saber Intent of the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm burst out from Qin Nan’s body.

At that instant, it felt like Qin Nan had turned into a giant with an overwhelming aura.

The crowd was astounded; they did not expect the rumors to be true, that Qin Nan had mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm. The aura he emitted caused their hearts to feel cold.

The Five Tyrannical Tigers straightened their faces; their gazes were no longer filled with disdain.

“So you’ve really mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Arcane Realm.” Da Hu’s eyes flickered with a hint of fury, as he said in a cold tone, “But does it matter? Us five joining forces is enough to crush you!”

The words served as a signal, and they all unleashed their tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm auras and their seventh-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirits at the same time. Not only that, Da Hu also emitted his Greater Success Stage of One with the Weapon, while the other four had mastered the Minor Success Stage of One with the Weapon.

In just a moment, the Five Tyrannical Tigers had entered into their strongest state.

“Formation!”
