Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 53 - Bring it On

At the White Jade Dojo, excluding those two hundred and twenty disciples, the remaining eighty disciples remained neutral.

After seeing what had just happened, these eighty disciples looked at Qin Nan with pity.

Initially, these eighty disciples had also received the ‘invitation’ from Ling Zixiao to team up against Qin Nan in the Trial of Versatility.

However, they had all declined.

The main reason for this was because Qin Nan and Xiao Qingxue were close to each other; it was unnecessary to cause themselves strife by taking the initiative to target Qin Nan.

The key point being that, with such a huge gang, there was also no need for them to participate.

Hence, these eighty people stood back and remained bystanders.

Meanwhile, the old white-haired man finally interfered; he asked calmly, “Ling Zixiao, what’s going on? Why are you assembling the disciples to pick on this ant?”

Seeing how the whole incident had taken place, it was reasonable for the old white-haired man to voice his doubts.

However, judging from his words, the crowd instantly realized that the five elders were never concerned about Qin Nan’s well being—they would not help Qin Nan under any circumstances.

The five elders were only interested in the cause of the incident.

Like a magic trick, the menacing expression on Ling Zixiao’s face was replaced with utter respect as he replied, “Elder, this Qin Nan had a battle of Martial Skill talent with me at the Skills Library. He set me up with his Martial Skill talent, which caused me to be banned from entering the Skills Library for the rest of my life.”

Hearing the words, a hint of anger could be seen in the eyes of the elders.

It went without saying that their anger was directed at Qin Nan.

The old white-haired man’s tone turned ice-cold immediately, “This Qin Nan dares to do such a thing to the sect’s super-genius when he’s just a piece of trash with a fifth-layer Body-Tempering Realm cultivation. All disciples, hear my decree, you are allowed to join forces and kill Qin Nan at will after entering the Island of Versatility.”

The other four elders nodded their heads, before staring mercilessly at Qin Nan.

In the five elders’ opinions, Huang Long and Ling Zixiao were both highly anticipated super-geniuses. However, the five elders had never expected that this weak Qin Nan—with just an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit—dared to set Ling Zixiao up, causing him to be permanently banned from entering the Skills Library.

For a super-genius, it served as a cruel punishment.

Therefore, it was evident how furious these five elders were.

If they were not busy with setting up the portal, the five elders would attack Qin Nan without hesitation.

Even though the sect rules did not allow Qin Nan to be killed, they could still beat him within an inch of his life.

Ling Zixiao was not surprised by their words. From his assumption, the five elders would surely lean toward his side. In the Martial World, including the Mystic Spirit Sect, only the real super-geniuses would be treated with great care.

Meanwhile, the gazes from those two hundred and twenty disciples became even more scornful.

Even the elders had decided to kill Qin Nan, what’s the chance for him to survive the trial?

At this moment, within the large golden formation at the White Jade Dojo, the two hundred and twenty disciples and Ling Zixiao emitted murderous auras like countless rolling waves aimed at Qin Nan.

In addition, the presence of the five elders floating in the air felt like five huge mountains, pushing upon Qin Nan with terrifying murderous intent.

Under such pressure from these two sources of murderous aura, Qin Nan appeared to be tiny, like an ant that could be easily crushed at any time.

Qin Nan had not said a single word while the whole ordeal had taken place before him.

At the start, being exposed to the murderous intent from Ling Zixiao and those two hundred and twenty disciples had caused his body to stiffen and his blood to freeze. Now, with the additional pressure from the five elders, his whole body could no longer stand firmly in place, and was on the verge of falling to the ground.

Despite that, to everyone’s surprise, Qin Nan laughed.

Under everyone’s stare, Qin Nan burst out laughing all of a sudden; his laughter was somehow self-mocking and full of disdain, or more accurately, filled with tremendous anger.

The crowd was astounded upon seeing this.

Ling Zixiao yelled with a sinister look on his face, “Qin Nan, what are you laughing at? Humph, I’m telling you, even if you drop to your knees right now, I will not forgive you.”

“What am I laughing at?” The smile on Qin Nan’s face grew wider as his voice became even louder, “HAHAHA, it’s so funny that you are asking me that question; you don’t even know why I’m laughing…”

After finishing the sentence, the smile on Qin Nan’s face turned completely into anger.

His anger was directed at Ling Zixiao, the two hundred and twenty disciples, and—most importantly—the five elders in the air.

Everyone was stunned after seeing the sudden anger on Qin Nan’s face.

Did Qin Nan really want to show anger on his face? Shouldn’t he be kneeling down on the ground and begging fearfully for mercy?

Even the five elders in the air had not expected him to react like this.

What was he furious about?

“I’m but a mere new disciple, with a cultivation base of the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm; how am I worthy enough for you all to be hunting me down?” Qin Nan’s tone was icy cold, as he exploded, “The reason is hilarious; just because you guys are helping Ling Zixiao—fawning over him—you all plan to target and kill me! What gives you the right to do so?”

This was the reason Qin Nan had gotten mad.

Since Qin Nan had arrived at the Mystic Spirit Sect, if Ling Zixiao had not taken the initiative to trouble him, he would not have bothered opposing him.

Not to mention that Qin Nan had no personal conflict with these two hundred and twenty disciples.

Despite that, in order to suck his balls and receive some benefits from Ling Zixiao, these two hundred and twenty disciples turned hostile toward Qin Nan straight away, treating him as their greatest enemy.

Apart from that, what Qin Nan had least expected was the five elders publicly supporting Ling Zixiao.

What gave them the right to do this?

Trying to kill me for no reason?

“What a joke.” The old white-haired man let out a cold laugh after hearing the words, before saying, “Why would we bother killing you? Ling Zixiao’s Martial Spirit has reached the ninth-grade Huang rank, and his cultivation base the ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm; on the other hand, you are nothing but a piece of trash. This is the Martial World—only the strong are allowed to live. Trash like you should just die instead.”

Ling Zixiao and the two hundred and twenty disciples were in complete agreement with his words.

In their eyes, Qin Nan was only a piece of trash. What kind of reason did they need to kill such trash?

It was unnecessary!

After hearing this, Qin Nan burst out laughing again, before saying with a voice filled with disdain, “Once, there was a guy who said the same thing to me—that trash must die. He tried to kill me too, but what he didn’t expect was that I would end up killing him. The reason I’m saying this is to ask you all, why do you guys think… I am just a piece of trash?”

The question caught everyone by surprise.

“Even if I’m trash, I have no conflict with you all. However, on this day, you have treated me like nothing more than an ant, and mocked me freely; some have even planned to trample all over me.” Qin Nan scanned the area with a pair of sharp eyes, before saying, “If that’s the case, I’ll make sure to remember all your faces... If you decide to kill me…”

After saying this, eight golden rays appeared behind Qin Nan, together with a giant blurry figure that rose up from the ground and floated behind him; a powerful aura was unleashed as it looked down upon the whole area.

At that instant, Qin Nan’s aura changed; an overwhelming battle intent swept the entire place, “Bring it on!”

A single person was roaring at two hundred and twenty disciples at the White Jade Dojo.

It was like a tiny ant declaring war at the Heavens.

This was who Qin Nan was!

Although he merely possessed a cultivation of the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm; even if his current Martial Spirit had only reached the eighth-grade Huang rank, he would never back off or be intimidated despite facing the murderous intent and pressure from Ling Zixiao, those two hundred and twenty disciples, and the five elders.

It was because he, Qin Nan, was the owner of the Divine Battle Spirit.

The Divine Battle Spirit fights against the Heavens and Earth; there’s nobody it won’t fight, there’s nothing it won’t win against.
