Chapter 299: I Shall Become the Mastermind Behind the Scenes!
🕑 Added 2024-10-29 15:59:33 +0000 UTCHumiliating myself!
These simple four words represented Xiao Pengwang's attitude towards Qin Zi. In his mind, Qin Zi wasn't worthy of challenging him.
He acknowledged that this person was highly talented, perhaps even stronger than him if they were at the same cultivation level.
However.
They were not at the same level!
Though Qin Zi was impressive, the idea that he could cross the vast chasm between the Emperor Realm and the Quasi-Emperor Realm and challenge him was laughable.
It was like this:
You might score full marks in elementary school, which is very impressive. I might have only scored 80 points back when I was in elementary school. But now that I am a high school student, I don't find you particularly amazing — after all, you're still just an elementary student.
You may be extraordinarily gifted.
But… you're still too green!
Listening to these words, Qin Zi didn’t get angry. Instead, he shot back sarcastically, "A mighty roc acting like a cowardly turtle?"
"What did you say?!"
A sharp light flashed in Xiao Pengwang’s eyes. He had originally planned to spare Qin Zi, but to his surprise, this person didn’t know when to back down!
"Fight if you're going to fight! If you don't dare, then stop talking big and acting superior. Do you think I’ve never seen a Quasi-Emperor before?"
Qin Zi sneered.
Xiao Pengwang's previously unblemished "superior" aura crumbled under this barrage of insults, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated.
"Very well! Since you're so ignorant of your own limits, today I'll teach you a lesson in humility!"
Xiao Pengwang snorted coldly, then turned to Qin Chuan, saying, "If I hurt him, Senior, I assume you won’t blame me?"
"Of course not," Qin Chuan replied with a warm smile.
Inwardly, he was calculating Xiao Pengwang's value — Quasi-Emperor cultivation, the son of King Jinpeng… at least worth seven or eight thousand points, right?
"Then, as the junior, I shall be bold!"
Xiao Pengwang’s body erupted with golden light as he transformed into a giant golden-winged roc, soaring toward the battlefield.
"Whoosh—!"
A roc can rise with the wind in one day, soaring ninety thousand li into the sky. The endless golden light seemed to engulf the entire battle arena.
"Kill!!!"
Feeling the overwhelming Quasi-Emperor pressure, Qin Zi's blood boiled as flames erupted from his body. He charged forward fearlessly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Qin Zi's flesh and blood clashed head-on with the massive golden-winged roc in the sky, sending out wave after wave of shockwaves.
Various laws of the universe transformed into colorful chains of order, swaying in the air as countless runes splashed around like crashing waves.
The scene was awe-inspiring.
"How is this possible?!"
"His physical body can actually match that of the Little Ancestor! But the Little Ancestor has the purest golden-winged roc bloodline!"
"And he's only at the Emperor Realm, yet he can go toe-to-toe with a Quasi-Emperor. This is simply…"
The young talents of Jinpeng Ridge were utterly shocked, and even King Jinpeng was visibly taken aback.
He knew his son's talent well, and yet, even with an entire cultivation realm advantage, his son hadn't been able to take down this young man immediately.
Just how monstrous was this kid?
"Golden Feathers Split the Heavens!"
At that moment, Xiao Pengwang let out a furious roar. His wings suddenly folded in, then spread wide open again.
Instantly, an endless stream of golden light converged before him, transforming into countless golden feathers that shot toward Qin Zi.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The air was pierced with explosive sounds as the feathers tore through the sky, leaving fine scratches even in the fabric of space — a terrifying display.
"What sharp power!"
Qin Zi's eye twitched. The sharpness of these golden feathers made his heart tremble, even from a distance.
This was truly the power of a Quasi-Emperor-level prodigy!
However, he didn’t defend himself because he firmly believed that the best defense was a strong offense.
"Dragon Phoenix Tribulation!"
Qin Zi let out a thunderous shout, and instantly, a true dragon and a phoenix spiraled out of his body. After circling above his head, they suddenly dove back into him, causing his aura to explode in brilliance as his hair flew wildly in the wind.
"Boom—"
A golden-red fist shot through the air, tearing apart the golden feathers like paper before continuing its unstoppable path toward Xiao Pengwang.
"Indestructible Golden Roc Body!"
Xiao Pengwang folded his wings again, shielding himself, while a golden shield composed of countless diamond-shaped patterns formed around him.
"Boom!"
However, when that fist struck, the seemingly indestructible shield crumbled into dust. The remaining force surged forward like a tidal wave, slamming into Xiao Pengwang.
"Thud—"
Xiao Pengwang was sent sliding backward for several meters. As his wings unfolded, several golden feathers detached, spinning through the air.
By now, Qin Zi had already charged forward again.
"Kill!!!"
He leaned forward, and on either side of his body, golden streaks of light streamed past, as if he were racing through a golden tunnel at lightning speed.
He was moving faster than both light and electricity!
"Heaven-Rending Claw!"
Xiao Pengwang's pupils shrank sharply as his massive talons, gleaming with metallic brilliance, lunged forward.
However, that blinding streak of golden light zoomed through the gap between his claws, crashing straight into him.
"Boom—"
The impact was like the sky collapsing.
Xiao Pengwang’s chest, which had been as hard as solid gold, caved in as the bones within shattered. Blood surged from his mouth in a torrent under the immense pressure.
"Aaahhh!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from his throat as he spat out more blood, flying backward. In the process, he reverted to his human form.
Why shift back to human form?
Because it was smaller, reducing energy consumption!
"Little Ancestor!"
"Ninety-Ninth Uncle!"
"Ninety-Ninth Grandpa!"
The young warriors of Jinpeng Ridge were horrified as they shot into the air to catch the retreating Xiao Pengwang.
"With such weak strength, you still dare put on airs in front of me? Who’s really humiliating themselves?"
Qin Zi stood tall on the battlefield, his robes fluttering in the wind as he disdainfully looked down at the severely injured Xiao Pengwang.
"You…you… urgh!"
Xiao Pengwang pointed at Qin Zi, his face alternating between red and white before spewing another mouthful of blood and falling unconscious.
"Heh."
Qin Zi chuckled contemptuously. He could tell that Xiao Pengwang, though appearing to suffer from rage, had intentionally passed out to escape the humiliation.
After all, he himself had used this trick before.
"Ding! Your son has humiliated the Quasi-Emperor prodigy Xiao Pengwang, earning you 8,000 'Proud Father Points.'"
"Ding! Your current Proud Father Points balance is: 13,000 points!"
The system’s voice rang out in Qin Chuan's mind.
Immediately, his mood brightened, and he turned with a grin to King Jinpeng, asking, "King Jinpeng, does this count as my victory?"
King Jinpeng's face twitched several times.
Though he had never expected to win — and had even been prepared to hand over the Nine-Colored Taisui — seeing his son beaten left him feeling more than a little bitter.
His son had been humiliated.
And that humiliation stung him deeply as well.
At this moment, he still had to hand over his precious Nine-Colored Taisui, which only made him feel even more frustrated, like he was on the verge of an outburst.
As one of the ten kings of the beast race, a supreme expert, he had always been high and mighty. When had he ever endured such grievances?
But in the end, the situation was against him.
Suppressing the irritation in his heart, he spoke in a low voice, "I’ve lost this time. I admit defeat. Here, take this."
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, a multicolored translucent object appeared in the air, shimmering like a gelatinous substance.
It was fragrant, filled with life force.
"Thank you."
Qin Chuan accepted the Nine-Colored Taisui, his face full of kind smiles. He bowed politely and said, "Then we shall take our leave. I trust King Jinpeng will keep today’s events discreet?"
"Rest assured!"
King Jinpeng replied through gritted teeth, his face dark as he muttered inwardly — I’d have to be an idiot to spread word of this humiliation!
Seeing King Jinpeng’s reaction, Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction, then took Qin Zi and soared into the sky.
Off to raid the next target.
As long as today’s events didn’t get out, no one else would know how strong Qin Zi was, and others would continue to act arrogantly, only to be slapped down by Qin Zi.
Moreover, the targets Qin Chuan had selected all had Quasi-Emperor-level prodigies. As long as he acted quickly and took advantage of this information gap, earning tens of thousands more Proud Father Points wouldn’t be a problem.
And with enough Proud Father Points, he could accomplish many things. Given his current cultivation, he couldcompletely transform into the mastermind behind the scenes...
As Qin Chuan soared through the sky with Qin Zi, his thoughts swirled with possibilities. With his growing power and ample resources from the Proud Father Points, he could orchestrate events, manipulate influential figures, and shape the future of the Nine Heavens Realm. No longer would he merely react to challenges — he would pull the strings from the shadows, controlling outcomes before they unfolded.
Smiling to himself, Qin Chuan knew that with enough planning and cunning, the entire world would soon dance in the palm of his hand.
