Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class - Chapter 490
Chapter 490: You’re Still Lacking
In the sky above the arena, the giant sword carrying Niu Hua’s rage swiftly pressed down on Qin Chuan. It was like divine retribution, and the entire arena was trembling.
This was Niu Hua’s strongest attack and also the one that would determine the outcome of this match.
Faced with the attack of an Immortal realm expert, Qin Chuan’s expression remained unchanged as he silently circulated the dharmic powers in his body.
At this moment, the audience was holding their breaths, fully focused on Qin Chuan, curious about how he could resolve this.
As everyone waited expectantly, the giant sword arrived as expected, only a few meters above Qin Chuan’s head.
Time seemed to have slowed down at this moment.
Qin Chuan suddenly raised his head. Something seemed to be shining in his eyes. A powerful aura was like a lion that had woken up and was preparing to show off its might.
“Sword Soul · Liberation!”
At this moment, Qin Chuan no longer hid his strength and mobilized Wang Zhixing’s Sword Soul.
In an instant, countless strands of sword energy appeared around Qin Chuan, their sharpness sweeping out like a storm.
The white snake wrapped around his body let out a scream and broke into pieces.
The giant sword above his head was instantly drowned by countless sword energies. In less than a breath’s time, it collapsed like an explosion, raining down countless small flames.
This scene could be described in one word.
Spectacular.
At this moment, the air seemed to have frozen.
Everyone’s expressions were especially exaggerated. They were all shocked by this scene.
…
The same went for Niu Hua.
He found it hard to believe that his strongest strike had been neutralized so easily.
Qin Chuan stepped on a cloud of swords and arrived in front of Niu Hua.
“That was a good strike, but not enough to defeat me.”
Qin Chuan did not underestimate Niu Hua. If it were anyone else, they would probably find it difficult to resist.
After all, he had the power of an Immortal.
But he had picked the wrong opponent.
Niu Hua’s mental state was extraordinarily strong, and he quickly came back to his senses.
“I lost!” He simply admitted his defeat.
That was his strongest attack, but it did not cause any actual damage to Qin Chuan. This meant that their strengths were worlds apart.
“Although I lost today, it doesn’t mean that you will always be stronger than me.
“Just you wait! One day, I will defeat you in front of everyone like today.”
With that, Niu Hua retracted his divine art and landed on the ground.
The referee immediately announced the victory.
After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted again.
They had spent money to come here to watch an exciting battle.
This match between Qin Chuan and Niu Hua was indeed a feast for their eyes.
In the audience, the Luo Ding Sect disciples were especially excited.
After Qin Chuan used the Sword Soul, they recognized him.
This “Zhu Xiaoming” was the paragon they knew.
The barrier dissipated.
As the loser, Niu Hua quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Qin Chuan was about to leave when the referee stopped him.
“Friend, can you tell me which faction you’re from?” asked the referee.
Qin Chuan replied politely, “Senior, I’m from the Luo Ding Sect.”
The referee nodded. “Oh! The Luo Ding Sect!
“The number one swordsman in our Changping realm is from your sect. No wonder your sword cultivation is so outstanding. It’s a feast for the eyes!”
Qin Chuan smiled modestly. “It is also because my opponent was not strong. If it were anyone else, it would be hard to say who would win.”
The referee smiled. “You’re too humble, young friend! Niu Hua isn’t weak. With a little effort, he definitely has the potential to enter the Chosen Roll.
“However, I think he’s still far inferior to you.
“I believe, soon, the Changping realm will have another paragon.”
“Since Senior has said so, I will definitely work harder to cultivate and strive to achieve that as soon as possible.” Qin Chuan bowed again.
“Young friend, this is my sect’s VIP card. You get 50% off all spending at our sect’s businesses.” The referee took out a purple-gold jade token.
Qin Chuan took the jade token. There were a few lifelike Immortal Beasts engraved on the front, and the words “VIP” were engraved amongst them.
On the back were the words “Tianxing Sect.”
The Tianxing Sect was a first-rate faction in the Changping realm. They were the ones holding this year’s fireworks festival.
The referee had given Qin Chuan a VIP card as a form of goodwill.
He could tell that Qin Chuan had the potential to be ranked on the Chosen Roll. If he really became a genius in the future, his initial investment would definitely be rewarded.
Qin Chuan also saw through this motive.
He did not refuse and put the VIP card into his storage ring.
Then, they chatted politely for a while before he met up with Gu Mengyao and the others.
The person in charge was also present.
This was because they had bet on Qin Chuan and received four times the returns.
Lu Yiping was the happiest.
Her original 10,000 supreme-grade spirit stones had quadrupled in just a few minutes.
It was unknown how many years of labor it would have taken to save up so many supreme-grade spirit stones.
Now that the duel was over, there was no need for them to stay here.
At the same time, the news of Niu Hua’s defeat spread outside.
After all, Niu Hua was quite famous in the Changping realm and had caused a small sensation.
Everyone was especially curious about who this “Zhu Xiaoming” was.
At this moment, the person playing “Zhu Xiaoming” was hopping around on various streets.
This was the first time Qin Chuan had experienced such a grand festival in the Immortal Realm.
The population of the Blue Planet was at most 7 billion people.
However, more than 10 billion people alone came to attend the fireworks festival today.
A huge event with more than 10 billion people participating was something that had never happened on the Blue Planet.
Although there were people everywhere, it gave Qin Chuan a sense of the festive atmosphere that belonged to the Immortal realm.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.
Night was the liveliest time of the festival.
“Senior Sister Gu, Senior Sister Lu, I still have something on tonight. Let’s stop here. I’ll get Old Dan to keep you guys company,” said Qin Chuan.
Dan Yangzi was unwilling inwardly. Shopping with women was one of the things he hated the most.
However, he had promised Qin Chuan on the way here, so he could only endure it.
Gu Mengyao, who was in a good mood, was a little disappointed when she heard this.
She wanted to ask Qin Chuan what he was doing, but after some thought, she decided not to.
On the other hand, Lu Yiping thought that Qin Chuan was up to something again, so she secretly told Gu Mengyao, “Mengyao, don’t be fooled by him.
“I bet that he’ll bump into us again somewhere later.”
Gu Mengyao frowned, not understanding what Lu Yiping was talking about.
Lu Yiping did not expose her and said confidently, “Mengyao, just trust me.”
“Alright!” Gu Mengyao nodded in confusion.
After bidding farewell to Gu Mengyao and the others, Qin Chuan went to a huge palace in the center of the city.
At this moment, the upper echelons and genius descendants of the major factions in the Changping realm were gathered in the palace.
Qin Chuan showed his invitation to the guards at the entrance of the palace.
The guard carefully checked the invitation and opened the doors after confirming that it was real.
Behind the door was a magnificent scene. Rare beasts stood in two rows like solemn guards welcoming guests.
At this moment, Xu Longfei’s voice sounded in his ears.
“Xiaochuan, you’re finally here! Come to the hall quickly. Everyone is waiting for you.”
Qin Chuan tidied his clothes and hair and walked towards the hall unhurriedly.
In the hall, the upper echelons of the major factions were chatting as they drank tea.
“Yo! The main character is here,” a white-haired old man suddenly said.
In an instant, everyone released their divine consciousness and locked onto a handsome young man in green.
