Boarding Life

"Does he know who he is speaking to?"

"Daring to act so arrogantly in front of Xue Zhou, isn’t that courting death?"

"It seems he truly doesn’t know Xue Zhou’s strength. If he had obediently admitted defeat, Xue Zhou wouldn’t have done anything to him. After all, while this may be in front of Mingqian City, ultimately, it still hasn’t entered Mingqian City!"

"Hehe, sparring here, even if there’s some friction, the Ming Family won’t be responsible in any way!"

At the side, Ming Xueying’s expression gradually grew displeased.

Her goal was to humiliate Ming Lan.

Yet, unexpectedly, a mere Qin Qi dared to act so recklessly even after seeing Xue Zhou.

This was entirely different from her anticipation that the other party would cry and beg her for mercy!

How could she be satisfied with this, and she shouted, "Xue Zhou, what are you standing there for? Don’t waste my time, do it!"

Xue Zhou seemed reluctant to defy Ming Xueying. He shook his head and said, "Kid, I gave you a chance, but you don’t appreciate it!"

With that said, he no longer wasted words and immediately waved his hand, his aura completely unleashed.

As this aura was released, everyone gasped in shock.

"What immense pressure!"

"Is this the power of the Fake Core Stage?"

"It’s said that the Fake Core Stage is half a step to Core Formation, already faintly grasping the power of the Core Formation Stage. Although it still belongs to the Foundation Establishment Stage, its strength is vastly different from that of a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Just as everyone finished speaking, in an instant.

Xue Zhou merely tapped his finger, and the mana around him instantly coalesced into a massive amount of water flow.

These water flows converged into the shape of pythons, sweeping toward Qin Qi like lightning.

Seeing this, Qin Qi’s expression froze, "Is this the power of the Fake Core Stage, with instantly cast mana, it seems that my purpose of witnessing this has been achieved!"

After obtaining the cultivation technique for the Fake Core Stage, he learned the advantage of forming a Golden Core.

The fundamental difference between the Core Formation Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage is.

In the Foundation Establishment Stage, a cultivator must first refine their True Qi into mana to use cultivation techniques. Although this refining speed isn’t exactly slow, it is ultimately limited.

However, after forming a Golden Core, it’s different.

The Golden Core is the source of mana, using mana omits the refining process!

In an instant, one can execute cultivation techniques to create unparalleled power.

Like Xue Zhou, even though he has only a Fake Pill, he also possesses some power of instant mana, and the water pythons formed are tens of zhang high.

The extension and power of this mana are far beyond what Qin Qi, who has not yet refined a Fake Pill, can match!

"Qin Qi!" Ming Lan was extremely anxious.

But Qin Qi remained calm and composed.

He similarly waved his hand, releasing his Celestial Spirit True Qi to form layers of golden barriers, completely intercepting the gigantic water pythons.

"Hmm?"

"He blocked it!"

Everyone couldn’t stop their discussions, astonished.

Xue Zhou also squinted his eyes, "Kid, no wonder you’re so arrogant, seems you have some tricks. But you don’t really think you can block me with just these tricks, do you!"

He smiled lightly, several water pythons darting back and forth, trying to find Qin Qi’s flaw to defeat him in one blow!

"This Xue Zhou is so young, yet his proficiency in using mana is truly profound!"

"To effortlessly control several water pythons, it seems he has reached the pinnacle in mana manipulation!"

However, just when everyone thought Qin Qi would soon be defeated.

The golden glow around Qin Qi flickered brilliantly, leaving everyone gaping.

"This, this guy’s control over mana can also be so perfect?"

"Judging by his age, he seems to be a few years younger than Xue Zhou, yet his level of control over mana is by no means inferior to Xue Zhou?"

"No, that’s not right. This kid’s mana control may even surpass Xue Zhou!"

It’s apparent that Qin Qi’s foundation is more solid than Xue Zhou’s, as Qin Qi managed a full defense despite not being at the same realm as Xue Zhou.

Seeing Xue Zhou hasn’t yet defeated Qin Qi, Ming Xueying’s face couldn’t hold onto its expression and she shouted harshly, "Xue Zhou, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhou realized he could no longer hold back.

In a chilly tone, he said, "Kid, I originally planned to just toy with you. I didn’t expect you to have some skill. It seems that I must use some real skills, or you won’t see reality!"

"Long-winded!" Qin Qi said leisurely, "To defeat me, we’ll see if you have the capability!"

Xue Zhou snorted coldly, no longer wasting words, the water vapor around him quickly condensing into hundreds and thousands of ice spikes.

Under Xue Zhou’s control, these ice spikes were unleashed like a storm, fiercely pouring down on Qin Qi.

"Since you are proficient in using mana techniques, then I will overpower you with sheer strength!"

He smiled lightly.

This is a symbol of overwhelming strength, not something that can be blocked just by using techniques.

Many couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

"Is this perhaps the 3rd Floor of the Illusory Rain Technique, Illusory Rain Ice Transformation?"

"I didn’t expect Xue Zhou to have reached this level. Under such means, even if this kid can withstand it, he might lose half his life."

"The gap in pure strength is insurmountable..."

Everyone sighed in reflection.

"Qin Qi..."

Ming Lan was already extremely anxious.

However, her strength wasn’t enough to offer any real assistance.

Only hearing Ming Xueying sneer from the side, "If one’s strength is inadequate, they should keep a low profile, and if they won’t keep a low profile, then let them pay the price!"

This remark, seemingly aimed at Qin Qi, also seemed to speak about her!

She wanted to apologize, to bow her head, at least to ensure Qin Qi’s safety first!

Yet unexpectedly, Qin Qi remained unhurried.

With a twist of his wrist, golden flames quickly condensed.

Although these flames in number were far less than the ice spikes, they formed a perfect defense!

Under this fiery defense, any ice spike that approached almost instantly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The hundreds of ice spikes that forced their way through not only couldn’t break through this fiery defense but instead returned in defeat!

"How, how is this possible!" At this moment, Xue Zhou, who was previously confident, could no longer hold his composure.

Qin Qi, on the other hand, smiled lightly, unmoved.

And Ming Lan realized with hindsight, "That’s right, I nearly forgot this ability of Qin Qi. At the time, his flames could even dissolve the Nine Nether Cold Crystal. Let alone these ice spikes from the Fake Core Stage..."

Seeing Xue Zhou frozen in place, Qin Qi addressed him leisurely, "It seems your expertise, the Illusory Rain Technique, is a water attribute magic technique!"

"If that’s the case, this is truly a wonderful coincidence. Now that your attack has ended, isn’t it time for my turn!"
