Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-18

After leaving the Conference Hall, Qin Nan and Qin Tian headed to the Patriarch’s Residence.

As soon as they entered the residence, Tie San—who had been awaiting their return—immediately asked, “Big Brother, how was it?”

Qin Tian let out a smile, “Tie San, I’ve got myself a good son. If it weren’t for Qin Nan, I’m afraid the outcome would have been worse than expected.”

Although Qin Tian was not that concerned about the outcome, he could not help but feel relieved when he thought about it.

“It’s ok Uncle San, you were only worried about my father.” Qin Nan let out a calm smile.

Qin Nan had always been respectful toward Tie San, thus he was not bothered when Tie San had scolded him.

At that instant, Qin Tian seemingly remembered something as he glanced at Qin Nan with a serious look, “Nan’er, even though Qin Tieba did not get what he wanted this time, the situation still doesn’t look good for us. In five days, the Mystic Spirit Sect will be here to recruit Qin Changkong, and there’s no way I can retain my role as Patriarch.”

After a brief pause, Qin Tian continued, “Now that you’ve offended them, they will not give up easily. Instead of waiting for them to get their revenge, you should go back to your room and pack your stuff, and we’ll leave the clan.”

Tie San wore a stern look after hearing the words and nodded his head, showing that he agreed with Qin Tian’s suggestion.

Even though Qin Nan had ranked up to the fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm and grasped the basics of One with the Saber, his Martial Spirit was only first-grade Huang ranked; thus it was impossible for him to be recruited as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect.

Qin Nan shook his head without hesitating, “Father, I will not leave. If we were to leave now, I would hold a grudge for the rest of my life. Don’t worry, Father, Uncle San, I can handle it.”

Qin Tian and Tie San exchanged glances with one another upon hearing this, and appeared to have something to say.

How could they not be worried under such circumstances?

However, after recalling Qin Nan’s personality, they both shook their heads, as it was useless for them to advise him.

Not only that, Qin Tian’s instincts were telling him that his son had some terrifying trump cards up his sleeves.

The reason being that Qin Nan had never been a person who acted on impulse.

Qin Nan glanced at them and pondered for a moment. He decided not to tell them about Fang Rulong.

Initially, after Tie San had told him that Qin Tieba was planning to usurp his father, he was going to unleash his Martial Spirit to turn the tables around.

However, after knowing that Qin Changkong had been chosen as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect, Qin Nan immediately withdrew his plan of revealing his Divine Battle Spirit.

Qin Nan immediately thought of Fang Rulong.

There must be something fishy because the Fang Clan had not revealed the news regarding Fang Rulong awakening a sixth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit. What were they hiding it for?

Therefore, Qin Nan could vaguely tell that the Fang Clan was planning something huge for during the selection of the Mystic Spirit Sect in five days’ time.

As for the reason behind not telling Qin Tian and Tie San; Qin Nan did not want them to be too worried. Besides, even if the Fang Clan was planning some conspiracy, it would not matter at all.

Qin Nan’s trump card was his Divine Battle Spirit, which had ranked up to seventh-grade Huang ranked.

As Qin Nan had mentioned to Fang Xue, he was never afraid of Fang Rulong.

With this thought, Qin Nan was able to calm his thoughts. He headed back to his residence after notifying Qin Tian and Tie San.

Something interesting took place when he was on his way back to his residence. The servants and disciples of the clan took the initiative to greet him in a fawning manner.

Qin Nan let out a smile. It appeared that the news regarding the incident at the Conference Hall had been made known to these servants and disciples.

However, it did not bother Qin Nan at all. It was too late for these people to regret their actions of mocking him and looking down upon him.

Once Qin Nan arrived at his residence, he went straight inside and took out over ten jade jars, before emptying them into a single pile of Body Tempering Pills before him, causing the place to be filled with abundant Qi.

“Here is a total of five hundred Body Tempering Pills. I’ve no idea how many ranks the Divine Battle Spirit is going to increase!”

Qin Nan took a deep breath. His face was filled with excitement. According to his previous experience, ten Body Tempering Pills had managed to rank up his Divine Battle Spirit by a level. Did that mean that these five hundred Body Tempering Pills would allow his Divine Battle Spirit to rank up to the legendary Tian ranked Martial Spirit?

That being said, Qin Nan clearly knew that he was only exaggerating. He would be satisfied if it could rank up to the Xuan rank.

Upon withdrawing his thoughts, Qin Nan sat down with his legs crossed. Seven yellow rays were emitted from his back, together with the illusionary human figure of the Divine Battle Spirit standing in mid-air behind him. The aura it emitted was extremely imperious as usual.

After the Divine Battle Spirit was unleashed, Qin Nan immediately reached out his hand and shoved the Body Tempering Pills into his mouth.

The same as before, once the Body Tempering Pill entered his body, the Divine Battle Spirit would unleash a force to completely absorb the energy of the pills.

One...four...seven...nine...

When he picked up the tenth Body Tempering Pill, he nervously devoured it at a slow pace and carefully observed the Divine Battle Spirit’s reaction.

One breath...thirty breaths...

After a while, Qin Nan was slightly disappointed while he wore a wry smile on his face. Things were not as easy as he thought; devouring ten Body Tempering Pills was not enough for the Divine Battle Spirit to rank up.

“Let’s try again and see how many pills it actually needs!”

Qin Nan immediately calmed his thoughts. He was still confident in his Martial Spirit’s ability to rank up. He continued to devour the pills one at a time.

However, the result caused his heart to sink to the very bottom.

Thirty pills!

Eighty pills!

One hundred and seventy pills!

Three hundred and fifty pills!

After consuming four hundred and ninety pills, the Divine Battle Spirit behind him showed no change at all. The energy of the pills had completely vanished, like rocks sinking to the bottom of an ocean.

“It seems like...it’s not that easy indeed.” The wry smile on his face grew thicker, but he soon adjusted his thoughts. It was law-defying enough that the Divine Battle Spirit was able to rank up with pills, thus he should not be too greedy.

“Only ten pills left. I’ll devour them in one go, and see if my Martial Spirit is able to rank up!”

Qin Nan clenched his teeth and grabbed the remaining ten Body Tempering Pills with his hand, before shoving them into his mouth.

This time, he was not disappointed.

As the Divine Battle Spirit finished absorbing the energy of the pills, the Divine Battle Spirit suddenly shuddered. Following this, a yellow ray was emitted from it, causing its aura to grow significantly stronger and more imperious.

After devouring five hundred Body Tempering Pills, the Divine Battle Spirit had finally ranked up to the eighth-grade Huang ranked!

However, that was not the end of it.

While Qin Nan was immersed in great joy, the outline of the Divine Battle Spirit’s eyes gradually became clearer, causing them to be more apparent compared to the other body parts.

It was as if the illusionary figure of the Divine Battle Spirit had slowly opened its eyes.

“This…”

Qin Nan’s face was filled with astonishment. He could sense that while his Divine Battle Spirit was experiencing the change, his own eyes felt different too.

Previously, after ranking up to the fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm, his eyesight had improved tremendously. However, his eyesight was now ten times better than before.

Qin Nan could clearly see everything within ten meters. He could even see through the pond despite it being muddy.

“Did my sight improve again?”

A sudden thought came to his mind. He immediately linked it to the change of the Divine Battle Spirit’s eyes, causing him to be astounded.

When the outline of the Divine Battle Spirit’s eyes became clear, his sight had improved.

Did that mean that the ranking up of the Divine Battle Spirit could also improve his flesh and grant him new capabilities?

“Gasp, it seems like ranking up through pills is not the only ability it has. I’m afraid the sudden boost in my comprehension before while learning the Thundercrash Saber Art was related to the Divine Battle Spirit too, and now with the new change to my flesh… this Divine Battle Spirit is utterly terrifying!”

Qin Nan took a few deep breaths, but failed to calm his thoughts.

Meanwhile, another thought came to mind.

With such a terrifying Divine Battle Spirit, how bright would his future be?

At that instant, Qin Nan felt himself to be ignorant. From his understanding, a Martial Emperor was the strongest presence he was aware of. He had no idea what would happen after that.

“The Divine Battle Spirit, there is none He does not fight and none He does not win against…” Qin Nan recalled the sentence that had echoed in his mind previously, and mumbled to himself. Following this, he immediately made up his mind as his eyes flickered, “With such an outstanding Martial Spirit, my future is unimaginable! I shall join the Mystic Spirit Sect, as it’s the only way I can learn more about this world, to expand my knowledge… and then, I’ll defeat every opponent!”

At that instant, Qin Nan’s will to pursue the path of cultivation was strengthened following the rare change of the Divine Battle Spirit.
