Chapter 195 - 195 192 Small Divine Power
Chapter 195: Chapter 192 Small Divine Power Chapter 195: Chapter 192 Small Divine Power “Thank you, Six-Toothed Sage.”
Qin Feng quickly regained his composure and bowed to express his gratitude to the Six-Toothed Sage.
“It is your own ability that allowed you to stand out among the disciples; there is no need to thank me.”
The Six-Toothed Sage waved his hand to indicate that Qin Feng need not be too formal and then looked him over carefully, a smile appearing on his face, “I didn’t expect you to actually win against Xue Baoshu.
This is indeed beyond my expectations.
Well done, Elder Ning’s judgment is truly impressive.”
“Elder flatters me.
Sister Baoshu is actually stronger than me.
I was just lucky to win with the help of that Fire Ape.”
Qin Feng quickly responded with humility, “If I had not fortuitously subdued that severely injured Fire Ape some days ago, I would surely not have been a match for Sister Baoshu.”
“Ha, a win is a win; there’s no need to be modest.”
The Six-Toothed Sage laughed upon hearing this, “In our Beast Taming Sect, a Spiritual Beast is considered part of a cultivator’s strength.
Being able to subdue and control that Foundation Establishment Peak Fire Ape is a testament to your abilities.
…
Now, go and rest up.
When the rest of the arenas have decided a victor, there will be another contest.
As with past years, the Sect has prepared three treasures to reward disciples who perform exceptionally well in the competition.
They include a cultivation technique for a Small Divine Power, a Foundation Establishment Realm Spiritual Beast, and a Breaking Barrier Pill that can help a disciple at the Foundation Establishment Realm break through a minor Realm.
Each one is extremely precious, and you could try for them.
Who knows, you might even win one of the rewards.”
The Six-Toothed Sage did not tell Qin Feng to take first place, but rather to try his best to contend for a prize.
In his opinion, there were many prodigies among the disciples from the various peaks, and with just an injured Fire Ape, Qin Feng was not guaranteed to make it to the end.
After all, the Fire Ape was not able to sustain a prolonged battle.
If a few powerful disciples consecutively challenged Qin Feng, they could drain the energy that suppressed the Fire Ape’s injuries.
Qin Feng would certainly not want to stand by and watch the Fire Ape’s old wounds flare up again just for a chance at a reward that might not be secured.
“Thank you for your guidance, Elder.
I will try my best.”
Qin Feng felt somewhat tempted upon hearing about the rewards from the Six-Toothed Sage.
He wasn’t too concerned about the Foundation Establishment Realm Spiritual Beast; although he wanted more Spiritual Beasts to enhance his strength, he already had several Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts and wasn’t in urgent need of subduing others.
Compared to the Spiritual Beasts, he valued more the Spirit Pill that could help a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm break through a minor realm.
Qin Feng estimated that when he cultivated to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he might encounter another bottleneck.
With a Breaking Barrier Pill, he could easily break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Otherwise, he might, like Old Family Master Qin Guanbao, be stuck at that Realm, potentially for many years without any progress.
And that cultivation technique for the Small Divine Power was also a rarity.
The so-called Small Divine Power is actually a simplified cultivation method derived from Divine Skills by great powers, similar to the Divine Power Seeds that Beast Taming Sect’s Foundation Establishment Disciples condense early in their bodies.
If one mastered a Small Divine Power, upon reaching the Golden Core stage, it would be easy to cultivate it into a true Divine Skill.
For the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, these were all rare opportunities.
For example, Fang Zheng of Tiger Roar Peak currently relied on his Lifebound Spiritual Beast to only condense a single Divine Power Seed of the Evil Exorcism Eye in his body.
If he were to obtain the cultivation technique for a Small Divine Power, it would be as if he had obtained an additional Divine Power Seed, which could directly increase his combat abilities significantly.
After all, Divine Skills are not only much more powerful than Spells, but they are also more crucial as they can be activated directly, unlike many Spells that require hand seals and incantations or even more complicated procedures such as stepping through the Big Dipper.
They are relatively more cumbersome compared to the convenience of using Divine Skills.
After the Six-Toothed Sage left by levitating into the sky, Qin Feng turned his head to look around.
He found that his was the first arena to have completed the battle, with the contests on the other arenas still raging on.
In truth, this was mainly because Qin Feng’s reputation had spread widely among the Outer Sect’s peaks, which led to the talented disciples coming forward to challenge him.
If it hadn’t been for Lan Qinhu’s direct challenge to Qin Feng from the start and subsequently attracting other talents like Yuan Powang and Xue Baoshu to fight against Qin Feng, the arena would have been far from concluding under normal circumstances.
But now, Qin Feng could relax and watch the fights of the others.
Perhaps because the battle on Qin Feng’s side had ended, clearing a spot, the other disciples seemed to grow impatient, fearing that the later it got, the fewer opportunities there would be.
Hence, the contests on the remaining arenas were also gradually escalating.
Even the long-reputed geniuses faced many challengers who did not accept their dominance and stepped forward to issue challenges.
After all, this was a critical moment for these individuals to be admitted to the Inner Sect.
They did not care whether their opponents were geniuses or experts; their approach was to defeat them first and talk later.
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother…”
While Qin Feng was watching the battles on the other arenas, he suddenly heard a call from below.
He turned his head to look and saw it was Liu Wuxiang.
“Come up here.”
Qin Feng waved him over.
Since the battle on this arena had ended, it didn’t matter if others came up as well.
Liu Wuxiang’s face was full of joy as he leaped onto the stage, “Congratulations, Senior Brother Qin, on winning the spot.
From now on, longevity is hopeful, and the Dao is promising.”
“Hehe…”
Qin Feng tapped him on the shoulder, “Stop with the flattery.
Every year, hundreds of Outer Sect disciples join the Inner Sect, and yet very few of them truly succeed in Cultivation to become Immortal.
Entering the Inner Sect merely makes our journey in Cultivation much smoother, that’s all.
How far one can cultivate still depends on personal opportunity.”
“You’re right, Senior Brother.”
Liu Wuxiang nodded, smiling cheerfully.
He was also happy for Qin Feng in his heart.
Having joined the Sect for two years, Qin Feng was his only true friend.
Although he knew plenty of other fellow disciples, there weren’t many with whom he could share his heart.
After offering his congratulations, Liu Wuxiang couldn’t help but click his tongue as he turned his gaze towards the badly damaged competition stage, his heart also filled with shock.
To have damaged a ring protected by prohibitions to such an extent, these guys were really ferociously formidable.
Of course, in his heart, Qin Feng was even more formidable.
After all, Qin Feng managed to defeat Xue Baoshu and the others.
Liu Wuxiang pondered to himself, it seemed he had to double his efforts.
Otherwise, even if he successfully achieved Foundation Establishment next year, he might not be able to win a spot to join the Inner Sect in the competition if he faced such formidable opponents.
“Senior Brother Qin!”
Just as Qin Feng and Liu Wuxiang were quietly chattering and laughing while watching the disciples compete on the other platforms, a call from below suddenly reached them.
Turning their heads, they saw Qin Xi and Wen Qing’er, two young girls, standing hand in hand beneath the platform, waving at them.
Qin Feng laughed and waved back at them.
Then the two girls jumped onto the platform together.
Wen Qing’er bounced over to Qin Feng, her soft eyes filled with stars as she looked up to him with a face full of admiration, “Senior Brother Qin is so amazing, almost catching up to Senior Sister Li.”
The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth twitched.
Are you praising me or praising Li Miao Zhen again?
He knew that ever since this little girl had met Li Miao Zhen, she had completely become a little fan of Li Miao Zhen.
He had not expected that even when praising him, she would still mention Li Miao Zhen.
Perhaps, in Wen Qing’er’s heart, Li Miao Zhen was the most impressive of the younger generation.
However, Qin Feng also had some self-awareness and knew that based on his current strength, he was indeed somewhat inferior to Li Miao Zhen back then.
Qin Feng grinned and playfully ruffled Wen Qing’er’s little head, messing up her neatly coifed hairdo, “Once Senior Brother enters the Inner Sect, I will certainly catch up to Senior Sister Li’s Cultivation Realm as soon as possible.”
Wen Qing’er, annoyed, swiped his hand away from her head and straightened her hairdo before speaking, “I will cultivate diligently too and strive to join the Inner Sect soon.
I definitely want to be as powerful as Senior Sister Li one day.”
“Good, keep up the effort.”
Qin Feng nodded in approval.
After all, this girl had refined the Confusing God Flower Spirit, which, in some ways, could be even more significant than Li Miao Zhen’s role.
“Ah Feng, congratulations to you.”
Beside him, Qin Xi was also beaming with joy, her heart so pleased she almost wanted to cheer aloud.
The Qin Family was just a small clan in the outlying area.
Due to their meager strength and inability to withstand internal strife, they were more unified, and the family’s elders showed extra care for the clan’s disciples.
Otherwise, how could she, Qin Xi, a side branch family member, have had the chance to join the Beast Taming Sect?
Ever since she had unlocked her Spiritual Acupoint, she was brought to the ancestral home by the family and nurtured by the elders, so she naturally held an inseparable affection for the clan.
Now that Qin Feng had become an Inner Sect Disciple, it was a tremendously joyful event for the entire Qin Family and a sign that the Qin Family was on the verge of prospering.
In those years, the Qin family’s old ancestors didn’t look after the clan for many years, yet they had managed to pass on their legacy until now.
Now that Qin Feng had joined the Inner Sect, and under the tutelage of the Spiritual Snake lineage’s Great Elder, it was almost foreseeable that as long as Qin Feng did not encounter any accidents, the Qin Family would undoubtedly prosper greatly in the future.
Perhaps, they could even surpass the Zhao Family of Tieling County and become an even more prominent clan.
Qin Feng smiled at Qin Xi, “Sister Xiaoxi, you must work hard too.
It would be even better if you joined the Inner Sect.”
“I will.”
Qin Xi nodded earnestly, her face full of serious intent.
In truth, she had a great chance of joining the Inner Sect.
It wasn’t that she possessed better qualifications than the previous Qin Family children sent to the Beast Taming Sect, but she had the good fortune to join Creation Peak.
Because of the scarcity of disciples on Creation Peak, they took extra care in nurturing each disciple, granting them more opportunities, just like the last time entering the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm.
Of all the disciples that the Qin Family had sent to the Sect over the years, none had the chance to enter a Secret Realm, let alone gain a sizable share of resources from the Secret Realm by chance like Qin Xi.
Not to mention anything else, those resources alone were enough to raise her Cultivation to a very high Realm, which was why Qin Feng encouraged her to cultivate diligently.
