Chapter 155 - A Key (1/2)

In Qin Nan’s eyes, discovering the secrets of the Potential Stone was nowhere as attractive as the special reward.

It felt like the old man was now a completely different person who no longer acted in a perverted manner or wasted any time. He waved his hand and said, “These are the prizes for the top ten participants in the first round. Each of you will receive a Fruit of Power and the winner will receive three of them!”

Crystal-like fruits with the size of a fist landed in the crowd’s hands.

“Huh? The Fruit of Power?”

Qin Nan immediately unleashed his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit and looked at the three pieces of fruit in his hands.

After a glance, his face was filled with astonishment.

A pure, mystical force filled these three pieces of fruit and it was equivalent to the amount of Spiritual Qi in a first-layer Xiantian Realm cultivator.

After seeing the confused looks on the crowd, the old man calmly said, “This Fruit of Power, once you’ve consumed it, you can improve to the next layer. It’s only effective in the Xiantian Realm. It also only works if it’s your first time consuming it. The second time you consume it, it will grant you nothing!”

Everyone was surprised upon hearing his words.

It was relatively difficult in the Xiantian Realm to reach the next layer for those who were not Atavistic Cultivators.

Therefore, this Fruit of Power with the ability to instantly improve one’s cultivation by a layer was incredibly precious.

Then everyone switched their focus onto Qin Nan, with no intention of concealing their envy, as he had received three pieces of the Fruit of Power.

Although the Fruit of Power was only useful the first time it was consumed, he could still earn a huge fortune by selling the remaining two pieces.

Qin Nan ignored the gazes of the crowd straight away and placed the three pieces of the Fruit of Power into his storage bag. He then asked in an anticipating tone, “Elder, what is my special reward?”

The Fruit of Power was indeed priceless but what had made Qin Nan’s heart skip a beat was the special reward that the elder had mentioned!

This special reward is most likely more valuable than the Fruit of Power, right?

“This is your special reward.”

The old man flicked his finger and immediately, an ancient-looking key landed in Qin Nan’s hand.

The key was pitch black and had an abstruse and mysterious feeling to it.

Qin Nan’s face looked shocked as he said, “Key? What is this key for?”

“If you are able to pass the next two rounds, the key will allow you to proceed to the fourth-layer of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.” The old man calmly said, “Of course, if you fail the next two rounds, the key will vanish on its own!”

“Proceed to the fourth-layer of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion?”

It was not hard for Qin Nan to understand its usage but he was speechless. He had not expected the key to only have this benefit.

It seemed like this special reward was worse than the first place prize of winning three pieces of the Fruit of Power!

“What? This key allows one to advance to the fourth round?”

In contrast to Qin Nan’s reaction, Wei Hao, Huang Que and the rest all wore an astounded expression on their faces.

Even Wei Hao completely lost his thoughts. He could not help but mumble, “The Martial Serendipity Pavilion has five floors in total, each representing a different round. Since the Martial Serendipity Pavilion was discovered, countless geniuses have taken part in the trials but none of them ever reached past the third round Even those who came first in three consecutive rounds could not enter the fourth round of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion! But this key would allow one to reach the fourth round!”

Following this, Wei Hao glanced at Qin Nan with envious eyes.

After hearing Wei Hao’s words, the others stared at the key in Qin Nan’s hand with burning eyes.
