Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 86 - The Great Battle Begins

Even Xu Qian, an inner disciple, was dumbfounded by Qin Nan’s words.

It was his first time seeing a person with an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a cultivation base of the eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm to take the initiative to challenge a tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm super genius with a ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

Was he trying to get himself killed?

The entire place went silent for a brief moment, before exploding with a huge chatter.

“Oh god, is this Qin Nan crazy, challenging Ling Zixiao directly?”

“Tsk, I really learned what it means to be scornful and ruthless now. Qin Nan is a pretty good example!”

“F**k, does Qin Nan not care about his life? The difference between him and Ling Zixiao is so huge, why would he challenge him like that?”

“An eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm genius challenging a tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm super genius—is he trying to get himself killed?”

……

In addition to the disciples, even Chu Yun, Xiao Leng, and Huang Long were completely stunned.

Chu Yun was the first one to react, as she blurted out, “Junior Brother Qin Nan, don’t be reckless…”

She stopped in the midst of her speech and exchanged glances with Xiao Leng and Huang Long. She could see a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

Although they had only met Qin Nan not long ago, they clearly knew that no one could change his decision after he had made up his mind.

The three could only take a deep breath and decided in their hearts to interfere if anything went wrong, so as to prevent Qin Nan from being slain.

Meanwhile, Ling Zixiao stood there with a blank expression on his face after being challenged directly by Qin Nan.

The hatred in his heart had expanded to such a level that no one would be able to stop him from killing Qin Nan. Despite that, he had never expected Qin Nan to challenge him upfront.

Could it be that this guy has the confidence to defeat me?

“Why would I fight you one on one?” Ling Zixiao inhaled deeply and said with a cold expression, “I’ve got over fifty geniuses here and you only have four. You guys are sure to die if a battle breaks out. Why would I fight you alone? I’ll crush you all with the strength in numbers.”

This time, Ling Zixiao chose not to accept Qin Nan’s challenge immediately.

He had lost to Qin Nan twice in a row. Each time he had always thought himself to be the winner, but in the end, he had turned out to be the loser.

Ling Zixiao’s words continued to stun the crowd.

They had never expected Ling Zixiao to be so cautious in dealing with Qin Nan’s challenge.

On the other hand, Qin Nan let out a smile upon hearing these words, and said, “I did expect that you would reject my challenge, since you have lost twice in a row. It’s reasonable that you are scared to be defeated again in this duel.”

Obviously, these words served as clear provokation.

Despite that, everyone could see Ling Zixiao’s face contorting extremely at this moment.

The words had touched upon the scar in his heart.

“Well, well, well,” Ling Zixiao laughed hollowly, as his gaze became murderous, “Qin Nan, since you’ve provoked me so, I’ll fulfill your wish. I would like to see how you plan to defeat me with your weak cultivation!”

Saying this, Ling Zixiao stepped forward and unleashed a suppressing aura with his ninth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit toward the crowd.

The disciples were left speechless.

Ling Zixiao had rejected Qin Nan’s challenge to a solo battle, but Qin Nan chose to prod him into accepting it. Was he really that desperate to try and kill himself?

Did Qin Nan really think—after making history by achieving a thousand steps in the Mind-Seducing Ancient Bamboo Woods—that he was invincible now?

Martial Heart and cultivation were not the same concept!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yunhe, Duan Muyang, and the other geniuses recovered from their shock. Xiao Yunhe, in particular, let out a mocking laugh and said, “Qin Nan, who on earth gave you the courage to provoke Senior Brother Ling Zixiao like that? With your current cultivation, you’re not worthy to face me. Where do you get the confidence from to challenge Senior Brother Ling Zixiao instead?”

The other geniuses all voiced their opinions while laughing mockingly.

“He dares to be so full of himself with a mere eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit and a cultivation of the eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm!”

“Hehe, I think this Qin Nan is too proud of himself after achieving a thousand steps.”

“I bet that Senior Brother Ling Zixiao could defeat Qin Nan in just three moves!”

……

After hearing the discussion among these geniuses, Chu Yun’s group of three did not look pleasant and a sense of helplessness filled their hearts, as they had no idea how to change Qin Nan’s mind.

The only thing they could do was to fully focus on the battle before them, and forcefully save Qin Nan when things went wrong.

At this moment, Qin Nan, being the focus of the crowd, let out a laugh while staring at Ling Zixiao and said, “Ling Zixiao, even though I think of you as someone shameless, fake, evil, and scornful, your current decision is the most utterly impressive. Let’s stop wasting time, and show me what you’ve got!”

After saying this, Qin Nan’s battle intent rose instantly, as his excitement could be seen from his expression.

Due to the influence of the Divine Battle Spirit, his thoughts were constantly refined and had transformed, causing him to have a strong desire to battle, especially against those who were stronger than him. Instead of being intimidated, he was extremely excited, looking forward to enjoying a worthy battle.

“Eat this!”

Upon seeing Qin Nan’s attitude, Ling Zixiao was consumed by flames of anger as his figure instantly dashed forward at lightning speed, approaching Qin Nan while lashing out with his fist toward him.

The punch was accompanied by a terrifying force and a shocking intent.

The force was the might of the tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm—the intent was emitted from his Perfection Stage of One with the Weapon!

At that instant, the crowd was astonished.

They could only feel that the punch from Ling Zixiao was so powerful that it was as if it could penetrate a mountain; the force it contained was far beyond their imagination.

The aura from merely a punch was enough to cause their hearts to shiver. This showed how terrifying the punch was.

“My god, so terrifying. So this is Ling Zixiao’s true strength!”

“If I were to face him, I wouldn’t even have the ability to withstand this fist intent.”

“Tsk, the battle has just started and Ling Zixiao has already executed his most powerful strike. I’m afraid Qin Nan doesn’t stand a chance this time!”

“Even a top ninth-layer Body Tempering Realm genius would not be able to withstand this. Qin Nan is sure to die this time.”

……

All of a sudden, the crowd exploded, as everyone shook their heads. In their opinions, Qin Nan had no chance of surviving the attack.

However, at that moment, Qin Nan made his move!
