Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 51 - Tremendous Rewards

When Qin Nan arrived at the White Jade Dojo, the whole place was crowded with people. With just a glance, Qin Nan estimated that there were more than three hundred new disciples, which was a few hundred more than the last time.

“It seems like there are more new disciples this year than I’ve expected.”

Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart as he subtly blended into the crowd.

Even though he had made a name for himself, most of the disciples still had no idea who he was—they would not bother to notice him.

Even Qin Nan’s enemy, Ling Zixiao, had no time to spend on Qin Nan at this moment.

“The disciples here are all fresh recruits of the Mystic Spirit Sect this year, which is a few hundred more than last time. I should observe them with my Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit to see just how many among them are worthy of my attention.”

Qin Nan, unnoticed by anyone else, scanned the entire White Jade Dojo with his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit.

No one would expect someone to inspect them one-by-one just as the Trial of Versatility was about to commence.

The observation took the time equivalent to the time needed for two incenses to burn.

The finding left a grave expression on Qin Nan’s face.

The last time he had observed, there were around forty people worthy of his attention. This time, there were around eighty people who he needed to take note of.

Every single one of them had a cultivation base of at least the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm—two layers higher than Qin Nan’s.

Besides that, Qin Nan had also realized that quite a number of disciples had improved themselves over the past ten days.

For example, Ling Zixiao—Qin Nan’s enemy—had improved his cultivation to the ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm.

“The Trial of Versatility is going to be intense.”

Qin Nan withdrew his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit upon having this thought; a thrilling sensation gradually arose in his heart.

Meanwhile, all of a sudden, five forceful auras approached from afar in the sky.

The initially noisy White Jade Dojo fell into silence at this instant.

All the new disciples were taken by surprise after detecting the pressure. It felt like they were being pressed down upon by five large mountains, causing them to have trouble breathing.

In the sky, five old men could be seen walking toward them with powerful auras; they were the five elders of the Mystic Spirit Sect.

Among the five elders, the one leading in front was the old white-haired man who had come to the White Jade Dojo last time.

After the old white-haired man settled down, same as the last time, his gaze first scanned the crowd before it was fixed onto Huang Long and Ling Zixiao as he complimented, “As expected of two ninth-grade Huang ranked geniuses; Huang Long and Ling Zixiao, you two have done great. We are looking forward to seeing your performance in the Trial of Versatility. Please do surprise us.”

The other four elders nodded their heads smiling, without concealing the hint of admiration in their eyes.

Huang Long smiled showing his teeth, whereas Ling Zixiao raised his head; the prideful expression on his face was further ingrained.

Meanwhile, all of the other new disciples in the surroundings were gazing at them in admiration.

As usual, the old white-haired man acted resolutely by quickly calming his expression and said, “We will be supervising the Trial of Versatility, and I’ll be the Master of Ceremonies. I’ll now explain the rules for the Trial of Versatility. I’ll only say this once, so listen carefully.”

The words from the old white-haired man were accompanied by a hint of imperiousness, which swept the entire dojo.

The disciples immediately fixed their focus onto the old man, to avoid missing out on a single detail.

An undetectable prideful expression flashed across the old white-haired man’s eyes, as he said in an icy tone, “The Trial of Versatility will take place on the Island of Versatility. In a while, us five elders will establish a teleportation portal to send you all onto the island. Your starting positions are randomized. In a month’s time, the formation on the island will be activated, sending you all back here.

“As for the rules: Firstly, killing is not prohibited throughout the Trial of Versatility.

“Secondly, there are thirty Blue Dragon Badges scattered around the Island of Versatility; you will be ranked according to the number of badges in your hands at the end of the trial.”

“Thirdly, only the top ten will be rewarded in this trial.”

As the old white-haired man finished talking, the disciples fell silent for a brief while, before their eyes started to flicker with concealed murderous intent.

There were no idiots among these people.

With these three rules combined together, this Trial of Versatility would turn into a deadly brawl between the disciples.

It was highly possible that those who referred to each other as friends would turn into enemies straight away.

Qin Nan had also understood this after hearing the rules.

The sense of excitement in his heart had grown stronger at that instant.

The old white-haired man scanned the disciples once again, before saying, “I’ll now talk about the rewards. The first ranked will get a Nine Rotation Golden Pill. The second ranked will get a Third Rotation Golden Pill. The third ranked will get ten thousand Xiantian Pills, and a chance to pick a treasure from the Treasure Vault. Fourth to tenth ranked will get nine thousand, eight thousand, seven thousand, six thousand, five thousand, four thousand, and three thousand Xiantian Pills respectively.”

Following this, the whole White Jade Dojo fell into a dead silence.

Every new disciple’s face instantly reddened with their heavy breathing; to such an extent that their hearts were beating three times faster than the normal rate.

These new disciples came from different places within the Louhe Kingdom; some of them were born in Martial Clans, giving them formidable backgrounds.

Despite that, these disciples were flabbergasted at this moment.

These rewards given by the Mystic Spirit Sect were absolutely tremendous.

Even though they were unsure what the Nine Rotation Golden Pill and the Three Rotation Golden Pill were, they did know that if these were the rewards for the first and second ranked, their values would most likely be astonishing.

The looks in the eyes of the disciples changed once again.

While looking at their surroundings, their gazes were filled with vigilance and murderous intent, as if everyone else apart from themselves had became their opponents—life and death enemies.

Due to the great benefits before them, a craving and a sense of urgency filled their hearts.

Meanwhile, Qin Nan was still immersed in the shock. As he finally recovered, his eyes burned passionately.

What did Qin Nan need the most? Pills, without a doubt.

Even the tenth ranked of the Trial of Versatility would receive three thousand Xiantian Pills.

If these three thousand Xiantian Pills were traded for Body Tempering Pills, it would be three hundred thousand Body Tempering Pills.

If he were to consume those three hundred thousand Body Tempering Pills now, how much would his Divine Battle Spirit improve? Could it reach the tenth-grade Huang rank? Or even reach the Xuan rank which only existed in legends?

The crucial thing was that this was merely the reward for the tenth rank.

If Qin Nan were to come third, the reward would be ten thousand Xiantian Pills, which was equivalent to one million Body Tempering Pills!

“What a surprise, I had never expected the Mystic Spirit Sect to offer such tremendous rewards. This is great news; I have to get into at least the top three in this Trial of Versatility! If I’m able to do so, then I would soar into the sky in this Mystic Spirit Sect!”

The excitement in Qin Nan’s heart had been fully exposed, causing him to feel lively immediately; he clenched his fists tightly, with a firm determination in his eyes.
