Chapter 527 - The Descending Danger (2/2)

Buzz!

Qin Nan halted his move. His right fist was only three inches away from touching Xiong Ling’s nose as he withdrew his force completely, returning calmness to the dojo.

“This…”

Xiong Ling stared at the fist with a blank expression.

At that particular moment, he could sense a huge mountain crushing downward onto his figure, which had caused him to feel suffocated, and even the sense of death.

“How terrifying!”

The other geniuses were left in awe seeing this.

The punch alone was enough to eliminate them. Besides, as the force was able to be withdrawn straight away with ease, it served as an indication that this person had great control of his power.

Mu Chengye’s eyes glistened slightly as he glanced at Qin Nan’s figure, before he shook his head and regained his cold expression.

Qin Nan’s aura became calm as he brought his hands together with a smile, “I believe that’s enough.”

“I...I admit my defeat.” Xiong Ling collected his thoughts and spoke. A drop of cold sweat flowed down from his forehead.

The other geniuses remained silent as some of them even regretted now. Why hadn’t they chosen to join the first team?

Elder Wang did not seem like he was surprised by the scene before him, as he said smilingly, “Since that’s settled, let’s head to the main point now. First, you will head to the Skills Library and pick the Martial Art you desire. Then, you will have two months to practice the Martial Art. Following that, the first team and the second team will have a competition against one another, and the team that wins…”

The crowd held their breaths upon hearing this.

Shen Fei and Su Chan wore wry smiles on their faces. Qin Nan’s outstanding strength had given them some confidence, but the current situation was not looking good for their team!

The difference of strength between the two teams was like the distance between the Heavens and Earth!

Elder Wang’s expression turned serious as he continued, “Not only will you have the chance of having your flesh being cleansed by the Blood of the Vermilion Bird, the team captain of the winning team will become the Platoon Leader of the Ninety-Ninth Platoon! Furthermore, the team captain of the winning team will also have the chance to become the disciple of Platoon Leader Zhou!”

The words served as a great explosion.

Apart from Qin Nan, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Even Mu Chengye, who had previously been wearing an icy expression, breathed heavily while his eyes were filled with a passionate look.

“Gasp! It’s Platoon Leader Zhou! He’s looking for a disciple!”

“This reward is too shocking!”

“It has been so long since Platoon Leader Zhou last recruited a disciple! Who would have thought that he would change his mind this time!”

“……”

The geniuses blurted out.

Qin Nan could not help but ask Xue Meng, “Who is this Platoon Leader Zhou?”

“Are you being serious?” Xue Meng’s eyes widened as she continued, “Platoon Leader Zhou, the Skyhowl White Tiger, and the emperor of the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom; these three are referred to as the top three experts of the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom! Even though Platoon Leader Zhou is ranked third among them, he has mastered the primary Martial Art of the Blood-Winged Vermilion Bird—the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird! According to the rumors, those who acquire this Martial Art are able to reincarnate. Even if the person is beheaded, or his Primordial Spirit is destroyed, he could still reincarnate!”

“The Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird? Able to reincarnate even when the Primordial Spirit is destroyed?”

Qin Nan opened his eyes wide with astonishment.

Was the Martial Art really that terrifying?

“That’s right; previously, Platoon Leader Zhou had only taught this Martial Art to the top genius of the seventieth batch. He was also considered the top genius of the entire Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom, but for some unknown reasons…” Xue Meng immediately blurted out upon saying this, “Nevertheless, countless geniuses were prying for this Martial Art.”

Xue Meng glanced at Mu Chengye.

Qin Nan also followed her gaze and immediately realized after seeing his expression.

No wonder this Mu Chengye was willing to join the Vermilion Bird Platoon despite having a seventh-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit. It’s obvious that he was here for the Art of the Immortal Vermilion Bird.

However, at that instant, a rare phenomenon took place.

The sky above the formation suddenly darkened, as a few terrifying auras descended from the clouds.

Following this, a thunderous roar took place.

“Where is Duan Qing? Vermilion Bird Platoon, hand him over at once!”
