“Little Brother Qin, since I came to invite you myself, you will not decline again, right?” Xi Men Yu said with a smile.
“As long as the Young Masters will not deliberately go against me, I do want to experience to what extent a Feudal Lord family would spend on their banquet, haha.”
Inwardly, Xi Men Yu felt a trace of joy when he heard the teasing from Qin Wushuang’s tone. He could see that the son of the Qin had mostly let go of his hostility toward the Xi Men Feudal Lords.
He immediately smiled and followed up by saying: “Then I will await your arrival at my residence.”
“Sure, of course.” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang’s ear moved, “We’ve caused too much of a commotion, someone is coming.”
Both the elder and the youth smiled at each other. With a mutual understanding, both figures fled into the bamboo forest and disappeared in a flash.
Both parties did not want this news of the battle to be exposed. Being a Stage Nine Warrior at the Genuine Force, Xi Men Yu did not wish to reveal the matter of how he could not beat a young martial arts student.
And for Qin Wushuang, since he had brokered a temporary truce with Xi Men Yu, he, of course, did not want to expose the things that had happened in this battle. After all, it would be too attention-grabbing for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old martial arts student to possess such demonic strength.
…
However, this fight had indeed cause quite a commotion. Especially the force and power between the elite warriors which had spread out. Although these two had chosen a remote place, in the end, it had attracted busybodies.
This bamboo forest was a quiet place among the other lively places. Many inns surrounded it, and it was those martial arts students from different counties of the Southcloud State that lived in those inns.
Each and every one of them had heard the sounds and rushed over here.
“Look over there…”
“What the hell is going on? The ground caved in?”
“Nonsense, how could the ground cave in in such an organized? And these marks still show the signs of a great battle between elite warriors.”
“Such strong sense of masculinity, it must be a fight between powerful warriors!”
Soon, people had filled the area next to the giant hole. And both Da Xi Yang and Yun Qingyan were one of them. From their expression, one could see the shock in their minds.
Bustling with discussions, those martial arts students talked with their friends and exchanged their feelings and thoughts.
A giant hole that could bury almost dozens of people had appeared. Besides the hole, numerous deep ditches at the knee level littered the area.
They looked around and saw the astonishment in the other’s eyes.
It was an exceptionally shocking destructive power.
From the martial arts students’ common sense, only battles between upper-level Genuine Force Warriors could have the destructive power to do such a thing.
“It must be a fight between mighty warriors at Stage Seven of the Genuine Force!” One of the martial arts students exclaimed.
“Too bad we came one step too late! If we could have witnessed the fight between the upper-level warriors at the Genuine Force, it would be so beneficial to our training, right?”
Yun Qingyan spent a moment examining the scene with the crowd of students before she walked out while still contemplating the scene.
“Young Master Yang, Qin Wushuang did not go out with you?” She could not help but ask when she did not see Qin Wushuang.
Da Xi Yang lightly shook his head and frowned. He observed that giant hole carefully. From time to time, he also walked to those deep ditches and caressed and searched the dirt.
“What are you looking at?” Yun Qingyan was curious.
“This ditch was stomped down using pure strength in one’s feet!” Da Xi Yang whispered, “Such strength, most likely it was more than a Stage Seven Genuine Force Warrior.”
“How do you know?” Yun Qingyan became even more confused.
Da Xi Yang smiled lightly and did not bother to answer. His father, Da Xi Heng, was at Stage Seven of the Genuine Force. He knew his father’s strength very well.
It was barely possible for one to use the power in one’s feet to stomp such ditches deliberately. However, the ditches before him were clearly the remains of a battle. In other words, the person who had caused this had not intentionally fabricated the ditch. Instead, it was a natural power that had plowed the ground into deep ditches.
Truly formidable, not ordinary at all!
“Brother Da Xi, from your estimation, what terrifying stage have these two mighty warriors achieved?”
One of the martial arts students from an outer county came to probe.
“Enigmatic and impossible to predict…” Da Xi Yang could only give these four words.
“Enigmatic and impossible to predict?”
Each of those martial arts students on the side became stunned. Someone muttered: “They could not be at Stage Nine of the Genuine Force, right?”
“Stage Nine? Impossible!”
“Why is it impossible?”
“Within our Southcloud State, only one person is at Stage Nine of the Genuine Force. And that is Patriarch Xi Men! After all, he could have fought with his clone, right? Haha.”
“Oh, that makes sense.”
Such estimation was logically reasonable. After all, the Xi Men Feudal Lords was way above the common. They were the unique and no other places like them.
Indeed, only the Xi Men Feudal Lords had a Stage Nine Genuine Force Warrior. For the rest of the families, even a Stage Eight was rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
In fact, theoretically, a Stage Eight already had the qualification to compete to become a Feudal Lord.
“In conclusion, it should be a fight between mighty warriors at Stage Eight of the Genuine Force. So strong, when could I achieve such a stage. Even if I have to live ten years less, I am willing to make that exchange.”
“Ten years? I’d gladly give up twenty years of my life.” Another martial arts student said with a rueful tone because they were extremely envious. In a martial arts dominated world, it was unavoidable for one to admire a strong person and looked up to great strength.
They continued to discuss, sighing with sorrow and envy…
After lingering for a little while longer, Da Xi Yang also decided to return since he could not find any other clues. Yun Qingyan also followed him back when she saw Da Xi Yang going back to the inn. After all, she was unwilling to be left alone.
…
Qin Wushuang returned to the inn and sat cross-legged. He breathed in and out to suppress the surging blood completely. In his former world, in the end, he was infuriated by the Genuine Qi and caught fire where he had died. After he had reincarnated, of course, he would not allow himself to suffer the same consequence. A person could not fall on the same road twice.
“No wonder the Patriarch Xi Men was a Stage Nine Genuine Force Warrior. Fortunately, my <Sun Force> is a technique that is both masculine and positive. If it weren’t, most likely I would have suffered some loss today. Good, I’ve finally witnessed the true strength of a mighty warrior at Stage Nine. However, I don’t know what level this Patriarch Xi Men is at among the Stage Nine?”
Stage Nine of the Genuine Force also had different levels where strengths would differ.
Today, he had verified that with Patriarch Xi Men, and it had boosted his confidence. At least, he could fight against a Stage Nine Genuine Force Warrior.
Although his <Sun Force> had achieved perfection, he still lacked some momentum. This matter needed time to hammer into shape.
Most importantly, he did not use that final move of the <Nine-Suns Palms> during that attack on Patriarch Xi Men—Nine-Suns Destroy The World.
In other words, he had not used his trump card. Or else, that attack a moment ago would have definitely caused Patriarch Xi Men to receive some internal damage.
Just when he had finished meditation and was about to get off the bed, someone knocked on the door.
He opened the door and saw Da Xi Yang and Yun Qingyan. Their presence was within Qin Wushuang’s expectation.
“Qin Wushuang, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? It’s so lively outside, and you are not going to take a look?” Yun Qingyan yelled without any courtesy.
“What kind of activities?” Qin Wushuang asked even though he knew what had happened.
“It was a super fight between elite warriors. They had caused a giant hole and many deep ditches. It was so exciting. Everyone felt that it should have been a fight between fighters at Stage Eight of the Genuine Force.”
Yun Qingyan described everything with delight.
Stage Eight of the Genuine Force? Inwardly, Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly. If one party were truly at Stage Eight, then a body would have remained from that fight.
It would be death match when a Stage Eight Warrior met with a Stage Nine Warrior of the Genuine Force.
“Unfortunately, I did not catch the battle. So regretful.” Yun Qingyan let out a sigh.
“Why feel regretful? If you had caught it, maybe it would not be a good thing.” Suddenly, Da Xi Yang walked over and looked at Qin Wushuang. He smiled and abruptly asked, “Wushuang, you have been staying in the room all this time?”
“That’s right.” Qin Wushuang answered honestly, “I just heard the commotion going on outside. So such a thing had happened.”
Da Xi Yang smiled again and did not say anymore.
At this moment, the corridor became filled with commotion. One of the martial arts students yelled: “Serious news, exploding news, the Xi Men Feudal Lords will host a banquet tonight to invite all martial arts students who are going to the exam. Everyone, should we go or not?”
As soon as this news was announced in the inn, it caused an uproar. Those martial arts students who had returned to the room rushed out again.
