The fact of how Honored Warrior Zhi Huai made Qin Shaohong to admit defeat was already a strange matter to most people. His following words had made everyone even more astonished.
When had this Honored Warrior Zhi Huai become so undisturbed? He had admitted to be inferior to Qin Yu? This was the matter in which he was unwilling to admit for this few hundred of years!
Qin Yunran emerged roaring laughter and raised up: “Zhi Huai, this is the first time I am admiring you. Ha ha, good good. Untie the golden rope, break the jade lock, unrest the heart devil, expose in a day! Zhi Huai, the day when you completely break your heart devil, it would be the time when you enter the Supreme Dao, can you still not comprehend it yourself?”
( NovelFull ) Qin Yunran’s words had smashed the chest of Honored Warrior Zhi Huai directly as it rebuked sternly. The expression of Zhi Huai had changed continuously as he was experiencing violent reactions to his words.
He also kept muttering with the corner of his mouth and revealed a thoughtful look.
After a while, he finally gave a long sigh and bowed towards the direction of Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang. He Next,he straightened his body and departed by transforming into a flash of light.
Suddenly, this flash of light stopped as he turned around. Honored Warrior Zhi Huai looked at Qin Wushuang with bitter and astringent expression: “Qin Wushuang, the disciples of your Eastwood Qin Clan had never entered the Aspiring Throne Mountain for generations. I had arranged all of them to be settled at the branch of Scouring Luo Qin Clan.”
After Honored Warrior Zhi Huai had finished speaking, he gave a long sigh and left without caring of everyone’s strange look.
Qin Wushuang felt as if his heart was struck by lightning. Now he had understood the reason of how generations of the Eastwood Qin Clan had never appeared at this Aspiring Throne Mountain. The Plain Field Qin Clan had also never got into contact with these people. It was all because Honored Warrior Zhi Huai had stepped into the procedure.
This way, the Honored Warrior Zhi Huai had always known that the Eastwood Qin Clan was ancestor Qin Yu’s settlement? Or could it be he was only conjecturing without foundation?
For all of it, it would not matter if there were answers to it.
Qin Wushuang did not wish to go to the end of it. Honored Warrior Zhi Huai was already showing his obligation by informing him honest information. By hearing Zhi Huai’s tone, it would be certainly impossible for him to harm people of the Qin Clan.
After all, being a person of the Qin Clan, Zhi Huai would not be savage by going to the extent of murdering people of his own clan.
Qin Wushuang walked down from the stage silently. Yet, he did not have much joy of a victor. He was deep in thought.
Qin Chongyang jumped to to the stage: “Everyone, for those sixteen words spoken by the Second Chief, could you all understand it?”
Untie the golden rope, break the jade lock, unrest the heart devil, expose in a day!
“Each of you should reflect, do you also have a burst of heart devil reside inside of you? Do you also have a surge of golden rope and jade lock that bind you?”
Qin Chongyang’s voice had possessed extreme penetration as it questioned each person’s nerve.
These core disciples were all intelligent people. As they were hinted by Qin Chongyang, they also started to think by taking it to heart. Clearly, the words of the Third Chief had meant something.
“Ascending Dragon Slope, what is the meaning of the Ascending Dragon Slope? It is the place where dragon fly off to the sky, the place where your legendary life set sail? If all of you spend your time and energy of ganging up for personal interest, and on internal strife, then what Qin Wushuang had said is what I wanted to say. Certainly it will be your generation that will lead the foundation of the Qin Clan to it’s end! Initially, in the generation of Honored Warrior Zhi Huai and Qin Yu, although they were engaged with fierce competition, it was only a dispute caused by personal feelings. Up to today, you have turned such competition into a completely deformity! Each of you are bind by gold rope and jade lock. If you were not to open this heart devil, your future outlook will be dim!”
Qin Chongyang’s each words were sparkling ideas put in writing that beat the inner soul of these core disciples.
Brilliant colors glittered inside Qin Wushuang’s eyes. He also exclaimed in admiration as he looked at Qin Chongyang. This was the most appropriate moment for the Third Chief to speak these words.
This was like the timely rain that had cool down the fervent atmosphere caused by the internal strife at the Ascending Dragon Slope. It cooled down the temperature of such atmosphere. If they were to allow such way of thinking spread itself, it would be incredibly dangerous!
Although the situation at the Ascending Dragon Slope could not be break through in a day or two, it needed time, imperceptible influence and changes to happen slowly. Without a doubt, this would be a good beginning!
Qin Chongyang shook his sleeve with confident and ease: “You are all the elite disciples of the Qin Clan. All of you are exceptionally intelligent and there is no need for me to speak any extra words. Whether you can comprehend, it would depend on your temperament. If you wish to become a person of great accomplishment, you need to comprehend it yourself. Or else, it would be a small matter if you were to hinder your future. If you were to hinder the Qin Clan’s project of paramount importance, you would be the person condemned by history!”
As he had finished Qin Chongyang dropped with ease and returned to his seat.
Now, Elder Guan Qi had walked out and announced: “In the first battle, challenger Qin Wushuang wins! Qin Dongsheng who were originally going to challenge Qin Shaohong will be challenging Qin Wushuang. The winner from the two of you will enter the final five person list!”
Initially, Qin Dongsheng wished to go with his luck. When he had drew Qin Shaohong, his heart was already half-cold. The development of the matter had gone beyond his expectation. Qin Wushuang had beat Qin Shaohong to the point in which he was incapable of resisting. This fact had made Qin Dongsheng to admit failure completely.
He walked out of the rank and said with a bitter smile: “Elder Guan Qi, I have not refined my skill. After I witnessed the divine skills of the two Senior Brothers, I feel deeply of my lack of skills. For this challenge, I will resign. Senior Brother Wushuang deserves to advance. I am only impressed and without the slightest jealous or dissatisfaction.”
Qin Dongsheng had spoken these words from the bottom of his heart. He bowed at Qin Wushuang and then, he retreated with ease. He did not feel any pressure by admitting defeat.
As Qin Wushuang had clearly demonstrated his strength, most likely besides Senior Brother Qin Taichong, no one could win against him. For someone possessing such strength, what would make Qin Dongsheng qualified to challenge him?
Go up and take a beating? It would appear discreet and stupid. He would rather admit defeat straightforwardly. In general, it would not be a disgrace to admit defeat before Qin Wushuang.
Qin Dongsheng’s actions had gained the cheer from the whole audience.
This way, it was equivalent for Qin Wushuang had directly enter the list of five. He would wait for the final five person list and for the remaining people to compete for the final four spots.
Together with Qin Taichong, they would form the five person team.
The remaining eight challengers began to stand on the stage in succession. However, their luck and strength were not as convincing as Qin Wushuang.
Although a few had demonstrated strong potential and strength, the difference of their stage still caused them to lack that decisive move at the most crucial moment.
Besides Qin Xi who had almost meet with unexpected failures, the other person such as Qin Hongyan, Qin Zhining and Qin Hao had made it to the five person list without much suspense.
In other words, besides challenger Qin Wushuang, the other challengers had meet with failures. There was only the difference between getting defeated gracefully or shamefully.
At this moment, Qin Hongyan, Qin Hao and Qin Xi finally realized how lucky they were. Fortunately, Qin Shaohong was the one that had offended Qin Wushuang the most. They were only there to cheer and support for Qin Shaohong.
If they were to exchange position with Qin Shaohong, at this moment, it would not be Qin Shaohong in a defeated position, it would have been one of them.
Upon thinking here, of course they felt lucky secretly.
When the five person list had come out, it would be the final selection. They would choose four out of the five. One of them would get disqualified. The probability of getting disqualified was not high in comparison to the previous battle.
For example, people like Qin Wushuang and Qin Zhining were not worried at all. Regardless the selection method, they would not worry for a spot.
The strength of Qin Hao, Qin Xi and Qin Hongyan were on par with each other. They were somewhat inferior than Qin Wushuang and the others. Naturally, the person gets disqualified would come from one of them.
The final selection had employed the method of breaking formation. A formation of an equal level would be arranged beforehand. Five of them would enter the formation and the result would be determined by the time they spend on solving the formation.
The person with the slowest time would have failed. Such method would be the most uncontroversial. It had tested on the candidate’s true strength for they could not cheat.
This way, the subtle difference between their strength were demonstrated. In the end, Qin Xi got disqualified due to a minor disparity to Qin Hao. He had helped the other four to succeed.
Although Qin Xi was depressed, there was nothing he could say. No one could take the back route through such selection method. He could only blame himself for not honing his craft.
When the four spots had come out, this internal selection had ended with success. Besides Qin Wushuang, this dark horse, the other result were within everyone’s expectation.
Therefore, naturally everyone’s focus of discussion in the aftermath had centered around Qin Wushuang’s devilish performance.
Since Qin Wushuang had entered the mountain with a low-profile, everyone had only heard about his reputation beforehand and did not witness his true strength. In today’s battle, as Qin Wushuang had unleashed his mighty power, it allowed everyone to witness the true strength of this genius. Indeed, he deserves a justified reputation!
After the gathering, Qin Taichong walked over with a smile: “Junior Brother Wushuang, great job. Let’s go get some drinks from the Second Chief.”
It was apparent that this Qin Taichong had often gone to the Second Chief for a freeload of wine.
At the mansion of the Second Chief, the two major Chief, and two most exceptional core disciples sat on the grond.
“Taichong, now you won’t feel lonely? Ha ha.” Qin Yunran laughed and pointed at Qin Wushuang, “Your Junior Bro Wushuang is now chasing and expel your buttocks. You must pull some weight. Let’s see which one of you two will enter the Supreme Dao!”
Qin Taichong laughed: “Junior Brother Wushuang is a genius with innate skills. Even if he were to enter the Supreme Dao earlier than me, I will not be surprised. Ha ha, Junior Brother Wushuang, I am ashamed to talk. Although I was aware of those rules at the Ascending Dragon Slope, I never thought deeper about it. Per your analysis, I had finally understand the seriousness of the problem. If I had known, I should not have let them out easily back then.”
Qin Taichong had a straightforward and easy-going personality. He had accommodated that group of disciples extremely and would not make things difficult under normal circumstance. With such straightforward personality, it did not allow him to think through it.
Qin Wushuang immediately said: “I am always impressed by your noble character and unquestionable integrity.”
Qin Yunran said with a laugh: “When I see you two, I feel that it would not be a lunatic craving for the emergence of the Aspiring Throne Mountain! Third, perhaps we cannot make it to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant in seventeen years. However, for next next time, after 517 years, I have the reason to believe that the Qin Clan will regain the position of the Heavenly Emperor!”
