Boarding Life

The crowd listened with bated breath.

"Who is this guy exactly..."

To fight against Xue Zhou and remain unscathed under his relentless attacks.

And now, he even dares to boast about counterattacking?

Isn’t this kid just at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Xue Zhou’s face was equally grim, but he couldn’t utter a single word at the moment.

Because the Phantom Rain Technique he cultivated had reached its limit.

The most crucial factor was that Qin Qi’s flames were extremely peculiar. He had faced strong enemies who specialized in fire before, but none were like Qin Qi.

His cultivation technique was like a mouse seeing a cat when facing Qin Qi.

Even suppressing his cultivation had no effect!

At that moment, Qin Qi was already controlling flames, surging toward him.

"Damn it!"

Xue Zhou, sweating profusely, quickly condensed a large amount of ice, attempting to stall Qin Qi’s advance.

He did have a few trump cards, but those were meant for facing formidable foes in the Land of Overflowing Spirits, not for use here!

However, the attempted icy spikes that were launched were effortlessly neutralized by Qin Qi’s oncoming Supreme Yang True Flame, as if smashing eggs against a rock!

Seeing the fire getting closer and closer, Xue Zhou’s face undoubtedly looked ashen.

"You’re forcing my hand!"

Xue Zhou gritted his teeth and tried to use those trump cards.

But just then, Qin Qi’s flames suddenly halted in mid-air, as if his Mana was exhausted.

Upon seeing this, Qin Qi’s voice suddenly rang out, "Brother Xue, there is no real animosity between us, it’s just a spar. In my opinion, why not call it a day?"

"Our abilities are evenly matched, and I’ve exhausted a lot of Mana. How about we leave it at that? What do you say, Brother Xue?"

Xue Zhou was noticeably taken aback.

This Qin Qi had already pushed him to the brink, forcing him to reveal his trump cards.

And now he suddenly withdraws?

Saying it’s because of Mana exhaustion.

But from his expression, there isn’t even the slightest sign of Mana overuse, is there?

He’s giving me an out.

Even if Xue Zhou were a fool, he would know he had to accept this out. Taking a deep breath, he replied, "You’re right. It’s just a spar. If that’s your suggestion, then naturally, I won’t deny you the courtesy!"

With that said, his figure flickered, ceasing his efforts, with a slightly shaken composure as he returned to his original position.

Seeing this, many people gasped.

The crowd’s chatter grew more and more.

"Why did they stop halfway?"

"So who won?"

"Heh, isn’t it obvious? Qin Qi, while powerful, clearly isn’t Xue Zhou’s match after consuming too much Mana! If he hadn’t stopped, once Xue Zhou recovered, it would probably be the end for him!"

"Look at his expression and complexion, does it look like someone who has overused his Mana?"

"Hmph, can’t you tell he’s putting on a show?"

Everyone had their own opinion.

However, to have exchanged so many rounds with Xue Zhou without being defeated and even gaining some advantage.

Everyone was seeing Qin Qi in a new light.

Soon enough, someone realized something.

"Qin Qi... Just now, I seemed to hear the concubine’s daughter from the Ming Family call his name Qin Qi!"

"That name sounds familiar!"

"Wait, I remember, do you recall some time ago in Holy Wood City, attracting the attention of many powerful factions? Even geniuses personally visited Holy Wood City!"

"It’s rumored that this young man single-handedly killed an Elite Demon, and that person is called Qin Qi, could it be him?"

"The age matches the rumors. And it’s said he comes from Tianqing City, and the concubine’s daughter from the Ming Family is also from Tianqing City!"

The crowd buzzed, becoming increasingly shocked as they dug deeper.

Originally furious, Ming Xueying, about to explode with anger, withdrew her anger upon hearing the crowd’s speculation about Qin Qi.

Replaced by a curious expression, "You, single-handedly killed an Elite Demon?"

Qin Qi saw Ming Xueying showing interest in him, his mouth gradually curling into a slight smile.

His duel with Xue Zhou, as it happens, had multiple considerations.

First, he genuinely wanted to help Ming Lan, and second, to see the power gap between him and a Fake Core Stage genius!

Thirdly, he wanted to find a way to attract Ming Xueying’s attention.

Clearly, every goal was accomplished.

Facing Ming Xueying’s inquiry, Qin Qi, with his hands behind his back, replied, "What if I did? What if I didn’t? What does it have to do with you, Miss Ming?"

Ming Xueying saw Qin Qi’s lukewarm attitude towards her and instantly became furious.

Who was she?

Others were eager to fawn over her, yet Qin Qi was indifferent towards her.

However, this only piqued her interest in Qin Qi further, and she chuckled, "Not denying it means you indeed accomplished it? Hehe, well then, I see no need for you to remain as Ming Lan’s collaborator!"

"Why not collaborate with me to enter the Land of Overflowing Spirits? As for the conditions, this young lady will not mistreat you!"

Not far away, Xue Zhou’s mouth twitched at her words.

Even though it irritated him, he was somewhat familiar with Ming Xueying’s character.

And considering Qin Qi’s undeniable strength, he could only sigh heavily, pretending not to hear.

Ming Lan was obviously anxious, "Miss, how can this be!"

Ming Xueying squinted her eyes, "Ming Lan, you’d better remember your status, what I, as the lady, want, you as a concubine’s daughter, should naturally yield to me, shouldn’t you?"

"Besides, why don’t you ask your sweetheart? What if he’s inclined to join me? Right, Qin Qi..."

"Rest assured, as long as you cooperate with me, even if we are no match for others in the Land of Overflowing Spirits, with my identity, no one would dare lay a hand on us!"

"Moreover, consider carefully this young lady’s status!"

After saying this, she flicked her hair to flaunt her beauty.

Combined with her figure, she saw no reason why Qin Qi would refuse.

Even Ming Lan was flustered. No matter how she thought of it, collaboration with Ming Xueying seemed more promising...

However, to everyone’s surprise, Qin Qi’s answer was extremely decisive, "What is there to consider? Do you have two more eyes or two more legs than others?"

"To be honest, I really don’t find you more attractive than Miss Ming Lan!"

"I’m perfectly fine associating with Miss Ming Lan, a stunning beauty, so why would I pick you?"
