Soaring of Galaxia

Chapter 692: The Ambition to Dash for the Crown

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qin Taichong was a Senior Brother and possessed superior strength, so he also held a superior position. No one would think of his spot.

For the remaining spot, it would be selected amongst Qin Wushuang, Qin Zhining, Qin Hao and Qin Hongyan. If it were in the past, perhaps Qin Zhining would have had the intent to compete for it.

However, Qin Wushuang’s recent accomplishment was too devilish: he had even killed Xin Wuji. Even if Qin Zhining was confident, he knew that this spot had belonged to Qin Wushuang. If the three of them were to fight for it, it would not show understanding for the general situation.

As Qin Zhining thought of it this way, he no longer carried any form of stubbornness. He opened his mouth to speak, “Second Chief, Senior Brother Tai Chong possesses superior strength and has far surpassed us. Of course, he should be taking a spot.”

For this statement, Qin Hao and Qin Hongyan would not object. All nodded to agree.

Qin Zhining revealed a light smile. “Junior Brother Wushuang is a new talent, yet even the son of Heavenly Emperor, Xin Wuji, has died by his hand. I could not think that besides the disciples of the totem clan, anyone else of the young generation could compete with Junior Brother Wushuang. Therefore, for this last spot, it should belong to Junior Brother Wushuang. In terms of private concerns or the needs of the public, I would not dare to think of scrambling for this spot. For this spot, please allow Junior Brother to take it.”

Qin Zhining had a rather indifferent personality for he usually did not like to speak out. He had not talked too much with Qin Wushuang. Yet at this time, he had stepped out to support Qin Wushuang the first time. It had made him feel rather surprised.

Qin Yunran laughed and shot a glance at Qin Hao and Qin Hongyan. “What do the two of you think?”

These two were slightly less than Qin Zhining. Upon hearing the words of Qin Zhining, of course they would not have excessive expectations. Feeling helpless, they could only say, “Since Junior Brother Wushuang has such resplendent accomplishments, although we wanted to compete, I am afraid we would not match with him. Of course, it should be him.”

Qin Taichong chuckled. “Alright, I think this would work. Junior Brother Wushuang, even Xin Wuji could not win against you, me being the Senior Brother, I do feel ashamed.”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “Senior Brother Taichong, when I fought with Wuji, I was lucky. In terms of personal strength, I am still less strong than him.”

Qin Taichong revealed a straightforward smile. “Junior Brother Wushuang, don’t comfort me. Although I am not very bright, I do carry a great breadth of mind. When I see you surpassing me, certainly I will cheer for you and be happy for you. The Qin Clan should have more prodigies. Junior Brother Wushuang, would you have the confidence to make a dash for first place? The rewards are rather rich!”

The reward was indeed, alluring. The first place champion would be rewarded with two Supreme Dao Fruits, one Supreme Dao set of armor and one Supreme Dao weapon.

It could be said the rewards for first place were extremely alluring.

Even the eyes of Qin Zhining and the other two were blazing. Clearly, those rewards were too attractive.

Qin Yunran laughed. “Wushuang, Taichong, tell us, do you hold any objections in your heart? We are all good men of the Qin Clan, if you have any thoughts, you must be courageous to express them!”

Everyone stopped to look at the face of Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong.

“Taichong, you are the Senior Brother, make your stance!” Qin Yunran said.

Qin Taichong gave a long sigh. “Within the five major Forbidden Spiritual Zones, there are many disciples with supreme talent. My bottom goal is to enter the top ten. I will work hard to aim for the top four!”

Qin Taichong had specifically emphasized the words “top four.” It was because the top four places all would receive a Supreme Dao fruit!

Honestly, for a major and ancient sect as the Qin Clan, certainly they had more reserves of Supreme Dao armor and Supreme Dao weapons compared to the Heavenly Punishing Villa that did not have a rich foundation.

Therefore, for things such as the Supreme Dao armor and Supreme Dao weapons, of course Qin Taichong, this Senior Brother did not feel the urge to get it. Therefore, his end goal was to make a dash for the top four and acquire a Supreme Dao Fruit!

Of course, although Qin Taichong possessed supreme talent, among the thirty-seven powerhouses, there would be a cloud full of elite warriors. There would also be an abundance of warriors with outstanding innate skills. For someone at the level of Qin Taichong, there would be at least ten to fifteen people.

Additionally, some would be even more powerful than Qin Taichong. For example, someone at the level of Xin Wuji.

Although Xin Wuji, being the number one beneath the totem clan of the Xuan Yuan Mound had died, in other Forbidden Spiritual Zones, there were people similar to Xin Wuji.

Therefore, although Qin Taichong had the goal to make a go for top four, the difficulty level to realize it would be great.

Qin Yunran did not criticize him harshly as he laughed. “Taichong, go exert your full force. You have an outgoing personality, disregard the gains and losses, perhaps you will gain an unexpected harvest. Even if you can not make a breakthrough for the top four, it would not be counted as a loss! It would be a great victory to enter the top ten.”

To be able to enter the top ten out of seventy-four people, of course it would be an outstanding result. What would it mean? It meant that besides the totem clan, he would rank in the top ten among all younger generation across the Tian Xuan Land! Of course, it would be peerless glory.

Qin Taichong chuckled and said, “Junior Brother Wushuang, what about you? You should speak.”

When Qin Wushuang saw everyone looking at him with passionate eyes, he knew that it would not work if he were not to make his statement. At the moment, he said, “My goal is similar to Senior Brother. Overall, I would exert all my strength. I would do my best and the result would not be less significant.”

Since Qin Wushuang had undergone many big and small battles, he already held a very good mentality. Of course, he would not care about the gains and losses excessively under such circumstances.

Although this was a grand stage, training like a martial arts performance would not be fatal. It would be strange if it would cause Qin Wushuang to suffer a severe defeat.

Qin Yunran knew that Qin Wushuang had a different personality than Qin Taichong. Qin Taichong had a straightforward personality and Qin Wushuang was rather more reserved.

He could see that Qin Wushuang had some aspiration through his eyes. Yet he had not completely exposed this ambition, as he only expressed himself in an introverted way.

Qin Yunran would not force him, but rather encouraged him with a smile. “Alright, regardless, even if the Qin Clan does not fight for those rewards, we should fight for our reputation. For this battle, I won’t ask how much you get rewarded, but I do want to give you guys a high expectation!”

“Oh?” Qin Taichong raised his brow. “Second Chief, tell us.”

Qin Yunran withdrew his usually happy attitude and said seriously, “Among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, there have always been competitions. I only hope that you can prove to the outside world that the Qin Clan is still an excellent figure among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates! If it’s possible, you must squash the Xin Clan and the Yun Clan under your feet!”

He only mentioned the Xin Clan and Yun Clan, but did not utter a word about any other powerhouses. Clearly in Qin Yunran’s eyes, the other powerhouses were not enough to compare with the Qin Clan.

When Qin Yunran saw the different expression on everyone’s face, he laughed. “Don’t look at me with such suspicious eyes. That’s right, this is my expectation of all of you! The Yun Clan shares a good relationship with us. At least, they are not hostile powerhouses. However, we should be unwilling to pass out responsibility to others in such competition. If we can suppress the Yun Clan, it could also prove from our side that the Qin Clan is not getting weaker by generations like the outside world thinks! Understand?”

Qin Taichong and Qin Wushuang exchanged a glance and revealed an expression of mutual understanding at the same time. A sense of mission and honor made them feel a new sense of seriousness and dignity.

Indeed, it’s time for the Qin clan to prove their strength and foundation! Qin Wushuang’s mood had become somewhat surged.

The Illusion Heavenly Lake was a dream-like place. It was also the first time Qin Wushuang got in touch with the mysterious totem mysterious place. He had looked forward to it more or less.

Qin Yunran said again, “Wushuang, now that everyone knows you have killed Xin Wuji, you must have a lot of support. Therefore, don’t have too much pressure.”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “Don’t worry, I have not even considered this.”

“Ok, let’s go sign up! For this battle, we must strike the grandeur of the Qin Clan! We will let the outside world know that our Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan will never be defeated!” Inside Qin Yunran’s eyes, there flashed excitement. Clearly, this martial arts performance training had allowed him to emerge a form of strong expectation.

...

Soon the registration was completed. For thirty-seven sects, the list of seventy-four people was quickly listed. There were basically not much suspense for these names.

The most depressing one would be the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan. Xin Wuji, their strongest one had died. Therefore, compared to the Qin Clan, the disciples sent out by them would not hold any advantage.

Xin Wuyou, one of them was almost on par with Qin Taichong or maybe a bit less. The other one, Xin Wufeng was approximately on par with Qin Zhining.

Although such a group could be said as dazzling, compared to the Qin Clan, it would be rather inferior.

For the other powerhouses of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, besides the Yun Clan that might be good to watch out for, the strength of the other five would be relatively lesser. Therefore, the groups send out were not very conspicuous.

Especially the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect, although their most outstanding disciples had not died, without Yan Qiansui and Leihong, it had caused them a grave loss.

The two disciples of the Yun Clan were called Yun Zhongye and Yun Zhonghe and were also very outstanding. In comparison, they had rather suppressed the temperament of the Xin Clan.

Without a doubt, among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, due to Xin Wuji’s absence, it caused the XIn Clan to not look as dazzling as the Qin Clan and Yun Clan in terms of strength.

Therefore, for the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, the ones with the loudest roar were not the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, but the two old powerhouses, the Yun Clan and Qin Clan!

Especially for the Qin Clan, as a sect that had been thought as declining, a devilish figure had appeared and killed Xin Wuji, the son of Heavenly Emperor. For all powerhouses beneath the totem clan, all of them must treat Qin Wushuang with enough importance and view him as a virtual enemy!

Under the leadership of the totem elite warrior, the seventy-four participants had arrived at the transportation channel. Chief Xue Chan congealed her voice and said, “Young people, when this transporting platform gets activated, you will be sent to an island. This island will also be the lowest level and a beginning stage. I believe that it will not be too difficult for you. Next, the difficulty level of each island will increase. Therefore, you must not let down your guard and get tricked by the low difficulty level from the previous island!”

“Now, each of you must come up and take a transportation jade plate. If you meet a life or death crisis, or feel you cannot go on, you will immediately activate the transportation jade plate. A transporting divine light will send you away! Of course, once it is activated, it also means the end of your adventure!”

Everyone had thoroughly understand the rules. No one spoke anymore and each had come to take a transportation jade plate. When Qin Wushuang went up, he had clearly sensed many eyes fixed on him. Four or five of them were abnormally fierce and powerful. Qin Wushuang knew that these few gazes must have been hoping to go for first place!

They viewed Qin Wushuang as a potential opponent!
