Chapter 360
A violent shockwave exploded from Xing Fei’s fist. After it struck at Qin Yun, it constantly exploded violently!
RUUUUUUUUUUU!
A large piece of the rock on the mountain wall was sent flying as Qin Yun fell along with it.
“Hahaha… This guy is the twentieth person I’ve brought down!” Xing Fei said with a proud smile.
Qin Yun felt infuriated as he fell. He was also silently cursing his carelessness.
In such intense competition, there would definitely be all sorts of schemes and tricks. He should have been wary of them.
“This bastard, how dare he use my sympathy!”
When Qin Yun fell, he followed the cold stream that was pressing down and fell. Furthermore, he was very far from the mountain wall.
Even if he wanted to fly to the mountain face, he would need some time. However, during this period of time, they would be pressured even lower by the cold current. No matter what, they would be greatly behind the others.
“There’s no hope of passing the selection this time, I was careless!” Qin Yun blamed himself.
Suddenly, a white light flashed!
Qin Yun felt as though his body was suddenly bound by something.
“Is it a rope?” Qin Yun was alarmed as he was pulled over.
He heard a deep shout and saw the person who had released the rope.
It was a tall and big man with a full beard.
“Little brother, can you still go up?” The bearded big fellow laughed boldly, “If that’s not possible, do you want me to pull you up?”
“Thank you, Big Brother, for saving me. I can continue going up!” Qin Yun was taken aback before he hurriedly said gratefully.
At this moment, Qin Yun was steadily climbing the mountain!
He really didn’t expect that he would meet such a kind-hearted person in this competition!
Not only did he try his best to pull him back, he even said that he would take him up to the mountain.
Qin Yun’s heart immediately warmed as he revealed a smile. After all, there were many good people in this world.
Of course, he was also a warmhearted person but he was tricked by a villain.
“I’m Qin Yun. What might your name be, Brother?” Qin Yun hurriedly climbed a few times before arriving beside the burly man.
“Jiang Zhihu!” The big man laughed and then asked doubtfully, “Brother, I can see that you are very energetic. It doesn’t seem like you fell down from exhaustion. How come you suddenly fell so far away?”
At the mention of this matter, Qin Yun’s face was filled with rage. He said, “I encountered a villain above.”
Afterwards, he told Jiang Zhihu about how he was ambushed by Xing Fei.
When Jiang Zhihu heard this, his face was also full of anger, “We martial artists should pull out our swords and help when we see injustice! But there are always those who would repay kindness with enmity. This guy is unworthy of being a martial artist, unworthy of cultivating in the Martial Dao!”
“Brother Hu, we have to be careful when we go up! Some people do not care what methods they use to achieve their goals!” Qin Yun exhorted, “If it were not for Brother Hu’s help, I would have no hope of entering a Xuan sect!”
“You are still in the Martial Dao Realm despite your young age and your strength is not inferior to mine. You can definitely enter a Xuan sect!” Jiang Zhihu smiled and said, “Let’s go. We need to increase our speed and get there quickly!”
Qin Yun had company and was filled with momentum. He immediately began climbing rapidly.
While climbing up, Qin Yun learned that Jiang Zhihu was the son of the head of a martial arts school.
The purpose of the head was to guide poor kids with martial arts talent to train in martial arts and change their fates.
Jiang Zhihu was originally a poor child, without any parents.
Then he was taken in by the head and he was even taken in as an adopted son.
After he was raised, he stepped into the Martial Dao Realm at the age of thirty-seven.
Under the limited resources available to them, to be able to step into the martial dao realm at this age was not bad at all!
Now, Qin Yun understood why Jiang Zhihu was so compassionate.
Because he was brought up by others and helped by others.
Helping each other seemed to have become the creed of his life.
Of course, Jiang Zhihu had also been cheated quite a few times due to his warm-hearted nature but his zealous spirit of helping others had never been extinguished!
“Brother Hu, what was the thing you tied me up with to bring me back?” Qin Yun asked.
Jiang Zhihu laughed, “That is the power of my Martial Spirit. My martial spirit is the Tree Martial Spirit!”
“In other people’s eyes, this Tree Martial Spirit is very bad but I think it’s good, I like my Tree Martial Spirit a lot too! The thing I just released was the tree vines!”
Qin Yun had the tree totem and knew of tree’s unique strength. He immediately said, “The Tree Martial Spirit is not inferior at all!”
“There are no bad martial spirits, only bad martial artists! As long as you cherish your martial spirit and don’t disappoint it, as long as you work hard in cultivating your martial arts, it will also become stronger along with you!”
“Yes, that’s the principle!” Jiang Zhihu laughed out loud, “Brother, are you from a Venerable family? Your martial spirit must be very good!”
Qin Yun said with a smile, “Brother Hu, I have only one spirit vein. I have also been mocked and looked down upon by others. Now, those people who mocked me have been left behind!”
After a moment of shock, Jiang Zhihu laughed, “Looks like brother has already suffered a lot at such a young age!”
The two of them continued to talk as they climbed. Soon, they arrived at the height of the Mysterious Ice Aura.
At a height of over 70,000 meters, this blizzard was extremely cold and distant.
The mountain walls at this height were covered in thick layers of ice and the only thing they could do was to insert their weapons into the ice to make themselves more stable.
When Qin Yun and Jiang Zhihu came up, they encountered two cultivators that had frozen to death!
“This jade plate is absorbing the Profound Ice Qi very slowly!” Jiang Zhihu frowned, “It might take a day or two!”
Qin Yun was secretly alarmed. As his absorption speed was extremely fast, he thought to himself, “Could it be because I have the Nine Yang Divine Spirit, that I can absorb it quickly?”
“Brother Hu, give me your jade plate, I’ll give it a try!” he shouted at Jiang Zhihu.
Jiang Zhihu handed the jade token to Qin Yun.
Qin Yun placed the jade token against the wall of the ice mountain before guiding it to absorb the aura. The speed was also very fast.
“Brother Hu, I can absorb it really fast. I’ll help you fill it up first!” Qin Yun said. He had to focus on filling the jade so that he could absorb it quickly.
“Little brother, how can you do this? Hurry up and go get yours. Why are you helping me?” Jiang Zhihu suddenly became unhappy, “My problem, I’ll do it myself!”
Qin Yun said, “Brother Hu, you are thirty-seven years old. Five years from now, you will not be able to participate in the next Xuanying competition. You will not be able to participate if you are over forty! And I’m still young. Even if I can’t do it this time, there will be a next time! That’s why I have to help you fill your token so that you can return to the battling platform quickly so that you can participate!”
“No! This opportunity is also very rare for you!” Jiang Zhihu said with a frown.
Qin Yun knew very well that if Jiang Zhihu had not pulled him, he would have fallen.
His plan was also for Jiang Zhihu’s future considerations.
Qin Yun had a lot of methods that he could use. He could not go to a Xuan sect and he could also obtain cultivation resources as well as the development of the Dao of Inscription.
However, it was very important for Jiang Zhihu to enter a Xuan sect.
In the future, he would be able to cultivate well in the sect. By going back to the martial arts school, he would be able to benefit more poor children and they would be able to unearth more talented martial artists.
“Brother Hu, help me fill my jade token with ice energy!” Qin Yun handed over his jade token to Jiang Zhihu.
Jiang Zhihu could only take it and do as he was told.
Half a day later, Qin Yun said with a smile, “Brother Hu, your jade token is full. You can go back now!”
“Bro, why don’t I wait for you to come down?” Jiang Zhihu took his jade token and didn’t want to leave.
“No, you have to hurry and get in the top 16!” Qin Yun said, “I’ll be able to go down very soon. There’s no need to worry!”
Jiang Zhihu gritted his teeth and said, “Then I’ll go back first! You will definitely pass the selection as well! ”
Qin Yun nodded with a smile.
Jiang Zhihu quickly descended. With the aid of the vines, his descent was fast and safe.
Qin Yun began doing his best to channel the frost energy into his jade token.
He could have done both at the same time but that would have taken more time.
If he concentrated all of them together, he would be able to fill up a jade plate even faster. It would give Jiang Zhihu a greater chance to enter the top sixteen.
Qin Yun used a little more than half a day to fill up the jade token before quickly descending and returning.
When he returned, Qin Yun saw many corpses by the mountain walls!
It was a great pity to die in this selection.
“Not all of them fell to their deaths!” Qin Yun thought of Xing Fei.
Xing Fei had also said that he had taken down more than twenty people. There would definitely be a lot more that would be taken down by him in the future.
Apart from Xing Fei, the others might also be secretly cheating on their potential competitors!
In order to ensure his safety, Qin Yun had spent a lot of time.
The moment he reached the ground level, he dashed towards the battling platform!
Jiang Zhihu was walking up and down the martial stage anxiously.
When he saw Qin Yun charging over, he shouted in pleasant surprise, “Brother, hurry! There’s still one more spot!”
Qin Yun was delighted. He never expected to pass the test!
He rushed to the battling platform. Grandma Ye also smiled with a pleased look on her face: “It’s rare to see you as the youngest fighter to pass this selection!”
“Everyone, this young man is called Qin Yun. He is nineteen years old! Which Xuan sect wants to take him in?” Nanny Ye looked at the dozens of tables below the battling platform.
Those people were all sent by the Xuan sect to accept disciples.
When they heard that he was nineteen years old and at the Martial Dao Realm, all of their expressions changed.
“How many Spirit vein does he have?” An old man shouted.
Nanny Ye quickly took out a mirror to test herself. She believed that for Qin Yun to step into the martial dao realm at such a young age, there must be a lot of spirit veins.
Granny Ye, who was originally smiling, was completely shocked after the test. The smile on her face immediately disappeared!
“Lad, you…you only have a One Spirit vein?” Grandma Ye said in astonishment, “How is that possible? Could it be that something of mine went wrong and I am unable to gauge it?”
Qin Yun smiled and said, “That’s right, I only have one spirit vein! However, a spirit vein doesn’t mean anything. Aren’t I in the Martial Dao Realm right now?”
Just now, the group of old men from the xuan sects were all ready to make a move and snatch him away.
Now that they knew Qin Yun only had a One spirit vein, they were extremely disappointed!
“It seems like he was raised by eating pills!”
“Forget it! This kind of breakthrough is not very meaningful!”
“If he had four spirit veins, then that would be great! To be able to cultivate with one spirit vein at such a young age. This must be a medicine pot!”
“His clan is really willful, wasting so many medicinal pills on him! Only one spirit vein, in the future the room for improvement will be too small, unless you continue to use medicinal pills to cultivate!”
When Jiang Zhihu saw how many xuan sects despised Qin Yun, he felt extremely upset.
Suddenly, a tall and skinny old man with short hair and a goatee walked onto the stage with a benevolent smile.
He said with a benevolent smile, “Qin Yun, right? My Nine Extinction Profound Gate accepts you, are you willing to join my Nine Extinction Profound Gate?”
Qin Yun hurriedly nodded.
The others started to mock him.
“The Nine Extinction Gate is now even weaker than a Spirit level sect, yet they’re still collecting trash!” An old man mocked.
