To the hearing ability of a Pre-Sky warrior, they would not hear this sound at all as it sounded as delicate as a fly. However, Qin Wushuang could hear it extremely clearly.
Overjoyed, with an innocent expression, Qin Wushuang kept repeating that beast language that did not make sense. In a moment, five or six different Spiritual beasts stuck their heads out. However, these little guys were still cautious. They had not let go of their caution toward Qin Wushuang, who was not speaking with the right accent.
Qin Wushuang felt shocked and he thought: ‘Could it be that the word I spoke is the same as English, the national language from my former world? How come when I spoke it, all Spiritual beasts could understand it? Or, is it because I had good luck and these Spiritual Beasts was attracted by my Upper Sky Qi?”
Regardless of the reasons, Qin Wushuang decided to make a move! Although he felt it was somewhat inappropriate to use their language to catch them, but—
Anyways, he would not hurt their life and he would have finished his tasks by taking five spiritual beasts.
When he thought here, Qin Wushuang raised his right arm lightly.
He shook the snake shaped soft whip lightly and it went out in a nice curve along his moving hand. Instantly, five Spiritual Qi rolled out with a sound of jeering!
Whenever the Spiritual Qi arrived, it covered all five Spiritual beasts of the Initial Stage around him. He swung the whip backwards and captured each one of them.
Within such a short distance, plus their lowered guard toward Qin Wushuang, of course they had all become prisoners after he had swung his whip.
Qin Wushuang twitched his mouth into a smile and continued to use his shabby beast language. He used hand gestures and comforted them. Basically, he meant: “Little guys, don’t worry, I am only catching you guys to finish my tasks. I would not hurt you.”
Whether it was because Qin Wushuang’s beast language had worked or because of his personal charm, those little guys did not fear him after getting captured. Each of them opened their eyes widely and looked at Qin Wushuang.
Apparently, they were extremely curious about this young man that knew how to speak beast language.
For your information, even the Beast Trainer at the Stargaze Palace only knew simple words. Most of them still needed to use hand gestures to communicate. They did not even grasp a fluent beast language.
Although Qin Wushuang had not grasped the language fluently, the words he had spoken were complete sentences, rather than simple short words. Of course, these Spiritual beasts were surprised.
Plus the Spiritual Beast he’d captured earlier and these five, Qin Wushuang had already captured six Spiritual beasts. This way, he had enough and a spare for a perfect score.
However, the exam had just started and only an hour had passed. Qin Wushuang thought: “If I go out now, it would be strange if no one were to be suspicious of me. I should use this chance to practice those simple greeting words from the <Catalogue of Beasts>. Perhaps, this would be a useful technique for the future.”
As he thought there, Qin Wushuang found a quiet corner and took out the snowy sable. According to Qin Wushuang’s experience in learning the language, a good environment was crucial. Of course, he would not let go of this opportunity to practice on them.
This way, this snowy sable had suffered. It was a struggle when Qin Wushuang had learned each sentence. That snowy sable was extremely speechless.
After some practice, Qin Wushuang finally grasped three sentences. These three sentences were “Hello”, “I don’t have hostility” and “Let’s be friends” and so on.
With surprise, Qin Wushuang discovered that the pronunciation between the words of the Spiritual Beasts could not be compared with the broadness and the depth of the human language. The pronunciation was extremely simple and did not have much complicated sentences. What was even more astonishing was that the last syllable of the words had always ended with “Chun Cun’Er”.
Initially, Qin Wushuang didn’t understood the meaning of these three syllabus. After some thoughts, he sort of understand that these were adjectives as a decoration to the sentences. These were equivalent to “Ah, I see”.
After he had grasped some patterns, Qin Wushuang finally had some ideas and become a little familiar with it. He did not struggle as much when he communicated with that snowy sable.
Thus, in a day, Qin Wushung poured all his efforts with a lot of enthusiasm into learning. Under the teaching from this experienced snowy sable, he could already make simple communications.
He looked at the sky and the sun was setting down in the west. In a blink of an eye, the dusk would arrive. When the dusk arrived, it would mark the end of the exam. Qin Wushuang did not linger and he wondered whether he should borrow a snowy sable when he got out?
He walked to the border of the exam zone. When that examiner saw Qin Wushuang, he said with a smile: “Qin Wushuang, you came out quite late.”
Qin Wushuang hid his emotions and said: “I didn’t have much luck on my side today.”
That examiner asked emotionally: “Did you not get one hundred points?”
“I do have that.” Qin Wushuang took out all six Spiritual beasts and asked with a joyful smile, “Mr. Examiner, I have a request. Could I borrow one of this Spiritual beast?”
“Borrow one?” That examiner shook his head with a bitter smile, “For this matter, I can’t really make any promises. We are only responsible for evaluating your grades and we must hand over these Spiritual beasts per numbers. If you want to borrow them, you must go to Shakyamuni Cang Ze who is in charge of the Spiritual beasts. Only he has the authority to approve this matter.”
Qin Wushuang felt somewhat helpless. Another Shakyamuni was in charge of this matter. It seemed to get by in the Stargaze Palace, he must form good relationships with the eight Shakyamuni.
Each of the eight Shakyamuni at the Stargaze Palace had their own roles. All of them were supreme existence in the Palace.
After verification, that examiner recorded a big perfect score on Qin Wushuang’s last grade report. He stuck up his thumb and exclaimed: ‘Qin Wushuang, do you know? You have broke the sixteen year record in the Stargaze Palace. Excellent job!”
Qin Wushuang laughed and did not show off.
To many Upper Sky disciples, this last round of exam was not difficult. At the end of the exam, each Upper Sky disciple from the test zones had almost all acquired a perfect score. On the contrary, they had strengthened the gap between the Pre-Sky realm warriors.
However, regardless of how much points the Upper Sky disciples had scored in the last round, they could no longer threaten Qin Wushuang’s position as the victor. Everyone did not even care who would get the two other advancing spots.
The entire Stargaze Palace was spreading the news and that was—Another appearance of someone scoring all perfect scores.
The sixteen year record that had remained frozen had been broken again.
And this time, the person who had acquired this grade did not come from the line of the Head Palace Master!
This would become a brand new record.
Again, Qin Wushuang’s name had become the name that had been discussed the most frequently. Those martial arts students from the Bai Yue had become even more excited as if they had acquired this score themselves.
Although during the Initial disciple exam, none of those martial arts students from the Bai Yue had become qualified to advance, they were still engulfed in the excitement.
On this night, these martial arts students gathered together and everyone became engaged in discussions.
Especially He Zichong who sighed: “Indeed, this Qin Wushuang is too devilish. He had become a Core disciple in the first year he arrived at the Stargaze Palace. Shouldn’t we feel ashamed about it?”
Tong Yan said: “Why? Besides Qin Wushuang, only one of the disciples from the Subordinate Country had advanced. And this person had even endured the shameful task by crawling under the legs of Young Master Xing.”
“Haha, that Qi Yinfeng does have good strength. Unfortunately, he met Marquis Wushuang and it would be destined that he would have a tragic fate. Didn’t Marquis Wushuang just kill his grandfather, the one he treasured the most?”
Whenever Xi Men Xing thought about the end to the Great Wu, he felt extremely satisfied. Before, he could not let go of the fact on how the martial arts student from the Great Wu had injured him.
“This way, that Qi Yinfeng is also a troublemaker.” Wan Jinpeng said in a low voice.
“So what if he is a troublemaker? His grandfather could not beat Marquis Wushuang, could he even do it? So what if he had advanced to be an Advanced disciple? Right now, Marquis Wushuang is a Core, the difference has not diminished, but has become greater.” He Zichong said with anger.
“Tong Yan, you are a good friend to Qin Wushuang. After the Core ranking competition has finished, invite him. We should have a gathering for all of us who came from the Bai Yue. Regardless, it’s our first new year’s since we left home. We cannot spend it alone”
Everyone stopped to look at Tong Yan. Tong Yan nodded: “I mentioned it to him before, and he did not seem disagreeable. We should not go to him now. The Core ranking competition is about to start, we should not distract him.”
“Right!” Xi Men Xing nodded to agree, “The higher the grade Marquis Wushuang gets, the more reputation our Bai Yue would get. I hope he would get into top thirty.”
“I think it will be more than that.” Wan Jinpeng said.
“Tong Yan, what rank do you think he would get?”
Tong Yan said seriously: “From my teacher, Shakyamuni Li Huo’s prediction, Marquis Wushuang had the strength to aim for the top ten!”
“Top ten?”
Everyone was extremely surprised. Everyone remembered that even Wei Yi, who had gotten perfect scores from sixteen years ago during the Advanced disciple exam, he had not made into the top ten in the slightest.
If Qin Wushuang could make it into the top ten, he would have surpassed that Wei Yi’s momentum. This would become a truly glorious moment.
“Top ten! If Marquis Wushuang could make it into top ten, the Bai Yue country would truly prosper.” He Zichong sighed, “Regardless, for sure, Marquis Wushuang would become a legend to our Bai Yue. Ah, I remembered how I did not feel at ease when he won the first place from the martial arts student exam. From today’s situation, how could we useless people be qualified to doubt his grades? We are not even qualified to be jealous of him.”
…
On the contrary, compared to the smiles of exultation of these martial arts student from the Bai Yue, the students from the Great Wu could only barely celebrate Qi Yinfeng advancing into the Advanced disciples rank.
Even Qi Yinfeng could not feel happy. There was no other reason, the death of Qi Shengnan had struck him deep in his heart.
Before Qin Wushuang, he even felt a sense of unprecedented helplessness.
When facing such a giant figure, even if he wanted revenge, he would most likely not be able to catch up to Qin Wushuang’s accomplishments during his lifetime.
“Boss Qi, we cannot revive a dead person. I am sorry for your loss. Regardless, the future of the Great Wu is in our hands. If we lose the will to fight, then the Great Wu will have truly lost all hope.”
One of the martial arts student advised him.
Qi Yinfeng nodded: “Don’t worry, I will never give up. Regardless of how difficult the path is ahead of me; I will never give up. You guys too, never mention giving up. Even if the disciples from the Bai Yue were to provoke and shame you, all of you must bear it and do not cause any trouble. I do not believe that our Great Wu has no future”
