Chapter 316 - The King of Geniuses (1/2)

“How is this possible…”

Leng Aotian was utterly dumbfounded.

Shouldn’t he be the winner of this year’s selection for the two Sacred Areas?

How did he lose to this Qin Nan who appeared out of nowhere?

Are you kidding me!

Leng Aotian’s expression turned incredibly dark, who almost vomited blood on the spot.

How disgraceful!

Last year, he suffered a total defeat after stumbling into that genius. Following it, he spent a year cultivating in seclusion just to come first this year, and finally achieved an outstanding result of forty inches. However, he ended up encountering this Qin Nan who managed to draw the entire saber out from the ground after discovering its true form!

Why am I so unlucky?

What did I do to deserve this?

Is God pulling a prank on me, by not allowing me to come first despite all the effort I put in!

“Qin Nan, I hate you!’

Leng Aotian withheld the anger in his heart and uttered a roar at Qin Nan before fleeing from the scene.

Qin Nan was utterly confused; I don’t think I’ve offended him before. Isn’t it just a competition, why does he hate me all of a sudden?

“Leng Aotian!”

The envoy of the Feiyang Sacred Area’s face turned pale as he rose from his seat and planned to chase after him. However, before he could react, Leng Aotian’s figure had already vanished from his sight.

“Cough Cough, I did remind you there’s no point for this competition. Leng Aotian had already suffered a great shock last year; why would you want him to suffer again this time? But you never believed my words, and insisted on betting with me…” Fang Jian let out a sigh while shaking his head. Leng Aotian was quite talented, leaving him with a great future ahead. However, his luck was not that great, and with his stubbornness, together with the shock he just experienced, it would not be easy for him to recover.

“You…”

The envoy of the Feiyang Sacred Area felt like vomiting blood, but he was instantly left speechless.

Meanwhile, the geniuses now looked at Qin Nan differently.

At the beginning, they were disdainful toward Qin Nan, as they assumed him to be appointed due to this background.

However, Qin Nan was able to reveal the true form of the saber and completely drew it out from the ground. There was no way they could match his talent.

“Brother Qin, sorry for misunderstanding you just now.”

“Junior Brother Qin Nan, it was my fault for what happened just then. I hope you wont fuss about it.”

“Hehe, I know you are a forgiving person, who wouldn’t bear grudges against us.”

“……”

Although the geniuses felt quite awkward, most of them were willing to apologize.

The ability to know when to yield and when not to yield was essential for true geniuses. It was quite rare to meet someone who was so extreme about coming first.

“It’s not that of a big deal.” Qin Nan brought his fists together and smilingly said, “It’s all luck that I’m able to draw the saber out, all thanks to my eye-technique, which allowed me to see something different. As for the previous two rounds, there was something wrong about my cultivation, which prevented me from taking part in the trial. As a result, Envoy Fang Jian decided to appoint me so I wouldn’t embarrass myself.”

“No wonder…”
