Chapter 29 - 29 29 Hidden Master
?29: Chapter 29: Hidden Master 29: Chapter 29: Hidden Master Foundation Establishment Realm, Sixth Layer!
Feeling the surging spiritual power within his body, Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel an urge to let out a long howl, but he still restrained himself, as he couldn’t appear too smug!
“He actually broke through!”
The Great Elder, Xu Hai, exclaimed in surprise, causing a stir among the others.
Breaking through during a match, such things only existed in legends!
But what mattered most was that Zhuo Junjie, the number one genius of Xuanling Sect, had been defeated!
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Zhuo Junjie was the number one genius of the Qianyue Kingdom, a legend among the younger generation.
That legend had been defeated by a mysterious young man, leaving them feeling as though their dreams had been shattered.
“Junjie…” Zhong Ling murmured with her hand over her mouth, looking at the miserable Zhuo Junjie on the platform, she couldn’t help feeling sorrowful as if witnessing the loss of a dear friend.
Qin Jun surveyed the crowd before announcing loudly, “The geniuses of the Xuanling Sect are quite impressive, huh!”
Ping—
The disciple’s proud hearts were shattered by his compliment; commending a defeated opponent was simply too mean!
Chang Tianyou drew in a deep breath.
Zhuo Junjie’s defeat affected him even more than the other disciples because Zhuo was his most prized disciple.
Especially since Zhuo Junjie had been so easily defeated by Qin Jun, he felt as if his face was on fire, painfully so.
The rest of the disciples, outraged but not daring to speak out, felt that Qin Jun had resorted to despicable means, but they lacked the confidence to face the bizarre rain of peach blossoms themselves.
Looking at Zhuo Junjie again, his hair was already over half white, and numerous wrinkles were on his face, making him look as if he had aged by a decade or two.
If they hadn’t witnessed everything with their own eyes, the disciples would never have believed that the Zhuo Junjie on the stage was their Senior Brother.
Too cruel!
Many female disciples couldn’t bear to look at Zhuo Junjie anymore.
It would’ve been more acceptable if he had been injured after a fierce fight, but this bizarre weakening of his life force was chilling.
Qin Jun didn’t continue to gloat; his victory over Zhuo Junjie relied entirely on the 36 Heavenly Transformations.
If he truly forced the other Foundation Establishment disciples to step up, it would be quite awkward.
“Nothing else to deal with now, right?”
Qin Jun walked over to Chang Tianyou with a smile and then turned to walk towards the stone steps, with Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog flanking him.
Wherever they passed, the Xuanling Sect disciples made way, fearing they might end up with a fate similar to Zhuo Junjie’s.
Chang Qianqian quickly followed Qin Jun’s pace.
Xu Hai and the other elders wanted to stop her, but were held back by Chang Tianyou.
“Let him go; let’s consider this matter settled!
No one shall trouble him further!” Chang Tianyou sighed as he watched Qin Jun’s receding figure.
Although Qin Jun’s defeat of Zhuo Junjie was hard to stomach, he now leaned more towards having Qin Jun and Chang Qianqian enter into a marital alliance, and from the perspective of a father-in-law, Qin Jun seemed quite suitable.
He had effortlessly defeated the kingdom’s number one talent, and with a Transforming Void Realm expert at his command, the Xuanling Sect couldn’t afford to offend but only aspire to ally with him.
The Xuanling Sect had been thriving for so long, and the Sect Leader certainly had his merits.
“But…
what about Junjie?” an elder hesitantly asked.
In their eyes, Zhuo Junjie had been crippled, and looking at his now partially aged appearance, it seemed unlikely that he would have much of a future.
“Worry not, his vitality and spiritual power are recovering.
The spell Qin Jun used clearly belongs to a high grade, but due to his low cultivation level, he wasn’t able to unleash its full power,” Chang Tianyou waved off the concern.
As an Ascending Mortal Realm powerhouse, he could immediately see the flaw in ‘Instant Blossom’.
To be precise, it was the flaw of Qin Jun’s cultivation level.
Turning his gaze towards Zhuo Junjie, Chang Tianyou’s face took on an expression of displeasure as he coldly snorted, “Junjie has become too arrogant over these years.
If he had been cautious, he could have completely avoided those peach petals.
Let this be a lesson for him.”
The elders exchanged glances, not daring to say any more, and proceeded to arrange for disciples to help Zhuo Junjie.
Still within the crowd, Chang Hao remained standing in shock, looking like he had lost his senses.
“How is it possible…
How could Qin Jun…
possibly…
defeat Senior Brother Zhuo…”
Chang Hao muttered despondently, lost in shock.
If even Zhuo Junjie couldn’t stand against Qin Jun, how could he dare to challenge him?
Thus, Qin Jun strolled down the mountain, with Chang Qianqian at his side repeatedly exclaiming, “Wow!
You are so amazing!
Were those peach petals just now caused by a spell?”
This scene caused the Xuanling Sect disciples’ hearts to ache.
Their Senior Brother was defeated by an outsider!
The Junior Sister ran off with the same outsider!
The entire Xuanling Sect had been shamed!
“I won’t tell you.
Stop following me; I have to return to the capital,” Qin Jun waved her off.
In high spirits from the recent upgrade, he unusually didn’t make any sarcastic remarks to Chang Qianqian.
Upon hearing this, Chang Qianqian instantly felt dejected as she clutched the corner of Qin Jun’s robe, asking, “When will you come to see me?”
“Get lost, I’m not coming to see you.
Everyone in your sect regards me as an enemy, would I dare to come?”
“Then I’ll come to you, how about that?”
“No, lest I get chased down again!”
“Doesn’t matter, I’m going to find you in the capital anyway.
I also want to be…”
“Be what?
Get lost, don’t send me off!”
Qin Jun waved her off, feeling a hint of reluctance in his heart.
He couldn’t possibly miss the affection from Chang Qianqian, could he?
When he ascends the throne, he will take Chang Qianqian as his bride!
A harem of three thousand beauties is a must, otherwise, it would cut his style!
Chang Qianqian bid farewell to Qin Jun at the pavilion halfway down the mountain, her voice full of longing as she said, “Sister Daji, take good care of yourself, and don’t let Qin Jun take advantage of you.”
Pfft—
You brat, spouting such blunt truths!
Qin Jun glared at Chang Qianqian with eyes that seemed ready to breathe fire, but Chang Qianqian completely ignored him.
“Hehe, don’t worry.
Young Master doesn’t have the ability to take advantage of me yet,” Daji teased with a flirtatious smile, causing Qin Jun even more distress.
Didn’t that imply he was impotent?
“Hmph!”
Feigning anger, Qin Jun snorted coldly and then turned to walk down the mountain, with Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog quickly catching up to him.
Gazing at their departing figures, Chang Qianqian’s eyes brimmed with tears.
She suddenly longed for the times she used to bicker with Qin Jun.
…
After leaving the Xuanling Sect, the Roaring Sky Dog curiously asked Qin Jun, “Young Master, the spell you used earlier contained the intricacies of Divine Power.
Where did it originate from?”
“The 36 Heavenly Transformations!” Qin Jun proudly declared.
The 36 Heavenly Transformations were divine in nature, but due to his low level of cultivation, they still fell within the category of spells.
The Roaring Sky Dog and Daji exchanged glances, both revealing confusion in their eyes.
Clearly, neither had ever heard of the 36 Heavenly Transformations.
Qin Jun didn’t feel like explaining; the 36 Heavenly Transformations were his trump card for survival, not to be fully disclosed unless absolutely necessary.
“However, there seems to be a hidden expert lurking within the Xuanling Sect, likely unknown even to the Sect Leader,” the Roaring Sky Dog suddenly mused, arousing Qin Jun’s curiosity.
Anyone considered an expert by the Roaring Sky Dog must be exceptional!
