Chapter 163 - The Unprecedented Fourth Round (1/2)

“Lost… I’ve lost.”

Huang Que and Wei Hao mumbled with blank stares; they no longer had the appearances of super geniuses from before.

As the super geniuses of the Flying Sword Sect and the Disordered Flames Sect, they initially planned to put on a show in this Trial of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, but it turned out to be a total defeat for them.

As for Wang Ruoling, her gaze toward Qin Nan was now filled with utter terror.

How brave was she before to offend Qin Nan, who possessed a formidable background and a terrifying talent?

She could only pray in her heart that Qin Nan would not trouble her any further.

Only Huang Long glanced at Qin Nan with a complicated expression.

When he met Qin Nan the first time at the Trial of Versatility, he was impressed with his personality, thinking that he was worth being friends with. Who could have expected that Qin Nan would rise so quickly, turning the tides and displaying a strength that he could not match against? Now, Qin Nan continued to reveal his tenth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, defeating the other two super geniuses and coming first among the outer disciples of the top four sects.

It was only now that Huang Long could feel the difference between him and Qin Nan expand further and further.

The old lady looked at Qin Nan with a complicated expression, “I was being harsh toward you previously as I underestimated your ability. I hope that you won’t take it seriously.”

“Don’t mind.” Qin Nan rose from the ground. The forceful aura emitting from his body had been withdrawn, as he let out a peaceful smile, “I’m used to this kind of thing.”

The old lady snickered before she straightened her face and declared, “The third round has come to an end. The winner of the round is: Qin Nan! He is also the only one who passed the round. Now, for the prize!”

The old lady waved her hand causing a sparkling storage bag to land on Qin Nan’s hands.

Qin Nan’s eyes burned with passion. He immediately opened the bag and checked its content. After a glance, a hint of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

In the storage bag, there was a small stone.

The stone was around the size of a palm, with a smooth and transparent surface like a crystal. One could feel a force of arcane realm encapsulated within the stone.

Although Qin Nan was usually lacking in his knowledge, not only did he know what the stone was, he was quite familiar with it.

The stone was known as the Arcane Realm Stone, formed naturally by the Heaven and Earth, extremely precious.

This Arcane Realm Stone allowed one to digest the force of the Arcane Realm within it, tremendously improving one’s comprehension of the Arcane Realm.

However, it was incredibly rare to find this Arcane Realm Stone, which made it priceless.

If I were to consume this Arcane Realm Stone and absorb the Arcane Realm Intent within it, it is likely that I’ll be able to reach the Greater Success Stage of the Arcane Realm… A thought came up to Qin Nan’s mind, who took a deep breath and bowed sincerely to the old lady.

The Arcane Realm Stone was priceless so he felt necessary to express his serious gratitude.

A smile appeared on the old lady’s face, “Now that the third round is finished and since your outstanding performance in the first round granted you the key, you can now choose to enter the fourth round.”

“I’ll choose to enter the fourth round!”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with excitement.

It was said that since the Martial Serendipity Pavilion was found, no one had ever entered the fourth-layer. Thus, Qin Nan was curious to see what was inside.

As a Martial Artist and as a young man, Qin Nan was extremely passionate. He was willing to give his all to grab all opportunities, to witness legends, to break myths, and to make his own history.

It went without saying that any genius would not miss such a chance of making history.

However, the only difference was, they were not as lucky as Qin Nan to be granted such an opportunity.

“Sure, you can now proceed to the fourth-layer of Martial Serendipity Pavilion.” The smile on the old lady’s face vanished, as she waved her hand causing Qin Nan’s figure to instantly disappear from the third-layer.

“The trial has ended for you guys.” The old lady glanced at the remaining participants, before sending them out with a gesture.

……

……

… Meanwhile, at the peak of Autumn Mountain…

As the participants were teleported out from the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, the crowd immediately turned towards them.

Huang Que and Wei Hao no longer displayed a demanding attitude but quietly walked under the crowd’s attention to their groups led by their elders and remained silent.

The crowd stared at them with a pity. They could easily see the unpleasant feeling these super geniuses were experiencing from their defeats.

However, it was definitely a misfortune for Huang Que and Wei Hao. If their opponent weren’t Qin Nan in the first place, they won’t lose so badly, right?

Upon recollecting Qin Nan’s outstanding performance in the first, second and third round, the crowd was utterly impressed and their eyes were full of respect.
