Chapter 113 - Martial Serendipity Pavilion (1/2)
The Outer Domain Trial was held at the Outer Domain Dojo.
In just a day’s time, the whole Outer Domain Dojo had a different appearance; more than ten huge rings were constructed, with a special seating area for elders.
In the elder’s seating area, the first elder of the outer domain disciples, Cheng Biao, was seated at the front, together with the second, third, fourth, fifth elders, etc.; there were a total of twenty elders.
Below the elder's seating area stood all the outer domain disciples—a total of six hundred and thirty seven people—which caused the place to become lively.
Among the disciples, Qin Nan purposely stood in a corner to remain low-key; despite that, he still attracted the attention of many disciples.
This was because Qin Nan’s achievement of breaking the well-known Five Elemental Mystic Radiance Formation, and completely smashing the Five Tyrannical Tigers, caused people to instinctively compare him to Nangong Cheng in their minds.
Meanwhile, a huge chatter could be heard among the crowd.
Qin Nan raised his head and glanced in the direction of the chatter, and saw Nangong Cheng arriving in a purple outfit with a smile on his face, displaying his status as the first ranked outer domain disciple.
Nangong Cheng’s arrival caused the place to turn noisier, as the crowd began to discuss with each other while looking at him respectfully.
“This guy seems to have improved…”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered and he unleashed the Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit unnoticed while looking at Nangong Cheng.
With a glimpse, a smile appeared on Qin Nan’s face; just like what he predicted, Nangong Cheng had now achieved the Xiantian Realm.
However, it seemed like Nangong Cheng used some kind of trick to conceal his Xiantian Realm’s aura, so it was unable to be detected by ordinary people.
“Xiantian Realm, interesting.”
Qin Nan said to himself, with a calm expression on his face.
After consuming the drop of Atavistic Spiritual Liquid given by the white jade ginseng last night, although he did not achieve the Xiantian Realm as he desired—and only managed to reach half-Xiantian state,—he already possessed a small amount of personal Qi in his Dantian, together with the atavistic Qi which the drop of Atavistic Spiritual Liquid contained.
In other words, he could be considered as being in the Xiantian Realm too, but he did not have enough personal Qi accumulated in his Dantian, plus the disturbance from the atavistic Qi caused his Qi to behave strangely, thus he had not achieved the Xiantian Realm.
There was still a barricade between Qin Nan and the Xiantian Realm.
“Brother Nan!”
Meanwhile, Xiao Leng and Chu Yun found Qin Nan among the crowd, and approached him with slightly surprised smiles on their faces.
Qin Nan glanced toward the two, and his eyes flickered with astonishment; it seemed like Xiao Leng and Chu Yun had both learned a peculiar Martial Art, which caused the two’s auras to have a similar feeling and seemed to be blending together, resulting in a stronger aura.
Qin Nan nodded his head slightly; with Xiao Leng and Chu Yun’s current strength, it seemed like they had a great chance to come top five in this Outer Domain Trial if nothing went wrong.
“Do you guys have the confidence to take my fifth residence?” Qin Nan said laughingly.
“Confidence yes, but there might be some difficulties.” Xiao Leng shook his head, as his eyes flickered with excitement as he said, “The first-ranked Nangong Cheng, second-ranked Senior Brother Huang Long, and third-ranked Mo ZiShan all have ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirits and unfathomable strength; it’s a guaranteed loss if we were to face any of them. Besides that, Xu You who is ranked fourth, also has an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivation…”
After saying this, Xiao Leng hesitated for a while before glancing at Qin Nan with a wry smile, “Well, no words are needed if I were to face you in the trial.”
Qin Nan could not help but let out a smile, before he shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, there are over six hundred plus here; Do you really think you have the luck to have me as your opponent?””
Xiao Leng and Chu Yun began to laugh too. They did not worry too much; just like what Qin Nan mentioned, it was extremely unlikely that they would face Qin Nan in the trial since there were over six hundred disciples altogether.
At that moment, Cheng Biao, the first elder, rose from his seat at the elder's seating area; the other elders followed him too.
“The Outer Disciple Trial begins now.” Cheng Biao’s voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone to hear, which grabbed their attention immediately as he continued to speak, “The trial is split into two rounds. I’ll now tell you the rewards for the top five spots, before explaining the details of the two different rounds.”
The words caused many disciples’ eyes to flicker with excitement.
Qin Nan was one of them too.
Cheng Biao scanned the crowd, his gaze stopping at where Qin Nan was for a brief moment, before saying calmly, ”The fifth place will receive ten thousand Xiantian Pills. The fourth, twenty thousand Xiantian Pills. The third, thirty thousand Xiantian Pills. The second, fifty thousand Xiantian Pills…”
