Chapter 95: Knowledge based on Strength
"I would let you follow your heart. Because I am swordsman and I will not interfere with others unless it is something important to me." Qin answered and slowly separates from Guan Xing. He was quite happy. Because Guan Xin was his first friend.
He wasn't sure whether both can remain friends forever. But, he hopes they will be.
"Well, I expected that answer from you." Guan Xing smirked and both of them continued on their journey. At this moment, they didn't notice a shadow following them. This shadow was very faint and had a humanoid shape.
It moved to the exact place where Guan Xing and Qin hugged each other and muttered "A man with the bloodline of that defies heaven and a man that hold the Dao Pen. No, they can't be together. Fire Comet Festival, right?"
"I need to kill them before they can condense heaven. Five Thousand Years, I have waited for five thousand years to swallow this place."
At this moment, the black eyes turned red and the line of blood followed down from those eyes.
"Heaven can't be condensed. I must swallow this place."
Slowly, the shadowy body disappeared.
Guan Xing and Qin were completely clueless about the shadowy figure and their upcoming danger.
But, Qin was already counting the future problem in his mind.
'Three Sects, no four sects, three families, damn! It's going to be hard. I guess I should give Tan Family a visit after this competition. Not only do I need to increase my cultivation but I also need to improve Devil Cultivation.'
'But, what I am lacking the most is sword cultivation. After fighting Tan Shui and Tan Ge, my swordsmanship has found some places to improve. And, I also need to get a proper sword that can follow my journey from this point.'
'Hmm! I guess I will ask for materials from Elder Chen. I am following the path of Sword Cultivation, Devil Cultivation, and Dual Cultivation. Currently, I am able to merge Sword Cultivation with Devil Cultivation with the help of Ruthless Dao Sword Technique.'
'But, I need to merge Sword Cultivation and Dual Cultivation. Then, I should also merge Dual Cultivation and Devil Cultivation.'
'Hush! There are so many things to do and I only have a time limit of a month. I guess I can only enjoy my time in bed.'
With a slightly tired expression, Qin rushed with Guan Xing back to the sect. It was already the evening so both of them directly head to their rooms.
Next Day,
Qin and Guan Xing walked to the arena. But, on the way, they were stopped by Su Ling. There were few disciples around, so Su Ling brought both of them to the elder room which made many disciples left with different thoughts in their minds.
"Why did you bring us here?" Qin asked as they sat in front of each other. This time Guo Min didn't accompany them since he had to go to the arena for the early battle.
Su Ling didn't speak. She shook her left hand and a huge chunk of black metal appeared on the ground. This chunk was nearly two meters in radius. It wasn't completely sphere but it was close enough.
"Day before yesterday, I made a bet with Jin Hao for this metal. The bet included you so I came here to give half of this metal to you. It is forged out of the star core that Jin Hao once found on his adventure. It has extremely lightweight but the hardness is fifty times better than iron."
"It can be forged into a perfect sword for you. Since you are a swordsman, I thought this would be a good material for you. By the way, if you want to forge this, you must ask the help from Tu Family. It would be a little hard for you since you have injured one of the geniuses from their family."
Hearing her words, Qin raised his lips with a smile. He wasn't worried about forging. But, he didn't expect to get material for his sword. And, this material was many times better than other materials in his mind.
"Thank you!" Qin slightly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me! It was a bet." Su Ling spoke and walked away with her usual cold tone.
"Elder Su, I don't mean to be rude or anything but aren't you acting too cold in front of me? Did you do anything wrong? I only followed Elder Chen's words so that the sect master won't force me to enter Mad Dragon Faction." Qin suddenly walked in front of her and asked with confusion in his eyes.
He didn't get the attitude from Su Ling. If she was a normal girl with such an attitude, he wouldn't mind. But, she was his lifesaver. If it wasn't for her, he knew he would've died in the hands of others.
That's why he wanted to make sure that he hasn't bothered her.
Su Ling halted her footstep when Qin appeared in front of her. She heard his words and remained silent. She didn't know how to respond.
Hate Qin? No, she never hated Qin.
Angry at him? Yes, she was angry but it was only temporary.
So, what is making her so cold in front of him? She feels like she was trying to make a barrier between her and him for some reason. She couldn't reply to his words. She didn't know what to say. She lowered her head and ran away.
Qin wanted to stop her but he was a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator while she was in Essence Transformation Realm. He couldn't do it.
"Hush! I hope she doesn't hate me."
Guan Xing looked at him with a weird gaze and asked "You have Senior Sister Yue Bin, Qiao Fu, and those three girls from Tan Family. Aren't you satisfied?"
Qin rolled his eyes "Don't you know the better delicacy you eat, the hungrier you get! But, I am not interested in her. Well, I do like her. But, I don't think this is like love. Previously I thought it was but now I found the difference. At the moment, the only person I love is Yue Bin."
"But, how did you know Qiao Fu is with me?"
"Well, you just said." Guan Xing sighed and replied.
Qin couldn't help but glare at him.
"Alright, alright, I am just kidding but I am not. It's quite complicated. Now, the whole of Flame City knows that Qiao Fu has disappeared. Some had speculated that she died on someone's cock. But, I had some doubts about you."
"After all, she disappeared right after you went to meet her. But, this was just a guess." Guan Xing helplessly sighed and answered.
Qin made 'O' with his lips and walked to the chunk of metal. He turned his head at Guan Xing and asked "Do you know more about Star Core?"
Guan Xing nodded his head and answered "Yeah! Outside our world, there is an empty space where billions of stars live. Well, I don't know if this is true. But, since it was told by this pen, it must be. It said that we live in a universe."
"But, in the ancient times, it was found that some places had an immense and powerful qi while some had a weaker version of qi like our world which is why the highest realm only is still within the Mortal Realm."
"So, the heaven of our universe created a powerful cosmic barrier, separating these worlds based on the qi. Let's not talk about those power worlds since it would be no good to know everything now."
At this moment, Qin suddenly interjects "You are telling this because it didn't reveal that to you either."
Guan Xing looked at Qin and made a bitter expression.
Qin walked near him and patted his shoulder "Don't worry, you are not alone. I also live with some excuses. Damn! I don't understand. What does learning something new has anything to do with our strength?"
"Because it has everything to do with strength."
When Qin heard these words, he was startled. The person who answered him was none other than Xiao Lan. At the same time, a voice rang on Guan Xing's head as well.
"Because it has everything to do with strength."
Hearing this voice, Guan Xing was stunned because this hazy and childish voice belong to none other than the pen.
"Young Master, you don't understand the world and how it works. You are at the bottom of the well. Even if you go out of this universe, you will still be halfway inside the well. Believe it or not, but if you just think of master, at least with very much intended to call, he will appear in front of you."
"Even though your voice can't reach more than some miles. If you think I am not telling you because of some nonsense thing then you are wrong. If I tell you something, nothing will happen but if you tell that to someone else or even use those words loudly, you will be targeted by those people."
"Of course, just remember one thing, if you call master when you are facing a life and death situation, he won't come. I hate to say this. But, you have only two choices. Either give up everything and live like an ordinary man. Or, risk your life, risk your people's lives and continue to pursue your dream and goal."
"If I am not wrong, they can't come to you. But, make sure you don't die. Because if you die, he will slaughter every living being that ever existed."
