Everyone was stunned.
The silver-haired Elder, who was a Third Grade Alchemy Master, was the same.
Seeing that Qin Yichen got barely affected under his Spiritual Energy suppression, he was momentarily stunned. In this brief moment of distraction, Qin Yichen had already skillfully ‘helped’ the young Alchemy Master fulfil part of his words.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!* Three kowtows, each making countless spectators wince. It just looked painful just to watch. Let alone for the person experiencing it.
After smashing his head down three times, Qin Yichen casually tossed the young Alchemy Master aside. Immediately, the latter lay on the ground like a dead dog.
He was too violent!
This kind of person was simply a madman to the eyes of everyone present.
However, many people secretly applauded. After all, everyone had a strong sense of belonging to their own country.
Being ridden on the neck by people from other countries, anyone would feel oppressed and uncomfortable. But now, Qin Yichen had shattered the mountain pressing on their heads!
This made them realise that the people from the Brilliant Martial Country were not that frightening after all.
“Boy, you’re seeking death!” The silver-haired Elder’s eyes were bulging with rage. He shouted angrily, waving his sleeve, and surging Spiritual Energy like ocean waves roared out, violently striking towards Qin Yichen. This time, it was not just simple suppression. From the looks of it, he actually intended to kill Qin Yichen.
Seeing this Third Grade Alchemy Master attack in anger, countless people cried out in shock, and many even covered their eyes, unable to bear watching.
A Third Grade Alchemy Master, with Spiritual Energy cultivation at the level equivalent to that of the Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm, how could Qin Yichen, a mere Martial Master, resist!?
“Ma De!” At this moment, Alchemy Grandmaster Gu Ye finally arrived. He coldly snorted and stood between the two.
Ma De’s Spiritual Energy, like ocean waves, came surging towards him. He stood there like a tall pine tree, unmoved and unshaken.
“Ma De?” Many knowledgeable people revealed wary expressions in their eyes upon hearing this name.
Ma De, a Peak Third Grade Alchemy Master, Vice Guildmaster of the Brilliant Martial Country Alchemy Guild!
“Gu Ye, get out of the way! Today, I must kill this boy!” The silver-haired Elder Ma De angrily shouted at Gu Ye, clearly knowing that with Gu Ye there, he would not be able to kill Qin Yichen.
“Ma De, this is Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, not your Brilliant Martial Country!” His arrogant and overbearing attitude made Gu Ye’s face darken, and an immense Spiritual Energy spread out.
“You!” At this moment, Ma De finally noticed something different about Gu Ye. His pupils dilated slightly as he blurted out. “You’ve actually entered the Understanding Realm!?”
An Alchemy Master in the Understanding Realm would be treated with respect by Major Families even in the Central Province.
The Understanding and Entry Realms were worlds apart! This also meant that he and Gu Ye were no longer on the same level.
Now, it became even more impossible for him to kill someone by getting through Gu Ye.
Looking at his disciple, whose face was covered in blood, Ma De was unwilling to let this go!
Qin Yichen just stood there, with a calm and unperturbed expression, as if he had just done something trivial, which infuriated Ma De to no end.
“Well, it’s quite lively here, isn’t it?” Just as they were at a standoff, a voice came from the outskirts of the square.
This suddenly appearing voice made many people turn to look.
It was a young man about twenty years old, with a chiselled face, wearing a black robe, with a black sword on his back. Most eye-catching was the finger-length scar on the left side of his face.
Black sword, black clothes, scar on the left face, the identity of this young man was obvious…
“The first of the Three Outstanding Prodigies… Du Junxiong!” Someone exclaimed in surprise.
Instantly, the whole scene became lively again, with all eyes focused on him.
After all, Du Junxiong was a legend in the Royal City. His exploits could not be fully told even in days and nights.
He had been victorious all the way. When he went on an adventure once, he had even obtained the inheritance of a powerful figure, which allowed him to ascend to Heaven in one step, unreachable by others since then.
“Why has he come back…”
“It’s said that he gained the favour of an Elder from a Millennial Family in the Central Province and became that Elder’s personal disciple!”
“Coming back at this time, I’m afraid it’s for Princess Linghan…”
Discussions arose.
Du Junxiong’s mere appearance made him the focus of the entire venue, effortlessly stealing the limelight from Qin Yichen.
Hearing these voices, Ma De’s face became even more unpleasant.
If the rumours were true and Du Junxiong had gained the favour of an Elder from a Millennial Family, even the Brilliant Martial Country Royal Family would not dare to offend him!
This was the deterrent power of a Millennial Family!
The crowd automatically cleared a path.
Du Junxiong was followed by an Elder in light armour, walking one in front and one behind.
“Not bad. I didn’t expect my Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty to produce such a talent.” Du Junxiong looked at Qin Yichen and praised.
His words made King Lu Heze’s face on the high platform change, but it quickly returned to normal.
After all, Du Junxiong had become so arrogant as to say it was his Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty!
Whether intentional or unintentional, this sentence made many ponder.
It was clear that the Du Family now had the intention of replacing the Royal Family, which was not a good sign for the Lu Family.
They already had external threats, and now internal troubles. Although it seemed calm on the surface, their Family was actually already in a precarious state.
[Adding to the news that I had heard about the Du Family…] Lu Heze sighed deeply in his heart. Many things were already slipping out of his control.
Qin Yichen remained unmoved by his praise, just calmly looking at him.
“Above the second level of the Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm!” With just one glance, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Du Junxiong’s strength was indeed formidable. At such a young age, he possessed a cultivation that others could hardly aspire to in a lifetime. No wonder he was valued by an Elder from a Millennial Family.
It could almost be said that Du Junxiong breaking through to the Spirit Realm was only a matter of time!
“Hm?” Qin Yichen’s indifference made Du Junxiong pause, but thinking of the strange temperament of Alchemy Masters, he let it go. He soon spoke again, “You should follow by my side. In the future, I’ll take you to the Central Province and recommend you to join the Central Province Alchemy Guild!”
“Wow!” As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue was in an uproar, including Ma De, the Third Grade Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country. Even he was moved.
The Central Province Alchemy Guild, how many Alchemy Masters dream of this their entire life?
That place was the closest to the Pill Tower.
Indeed, with Du Junxiong’s current status, and given Qin Yichen’s demonstrated talent, entering the Central Province Alchemy Guild should not be a difficult matter.
