Boarding Life

Listening to Mo Qianyi’s words, does it mean he’s planning to let it go like this?

How can that be!

If things end like this, how will the Celestial Joyful Witch vent her anger?

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

Even Ming Xueying thought Qin Qi was crazy!

She had painstakingly found him a reason to temporarily avoid conflict, why did Qin Qi have to add fuel to the fire?

The opponent is a member of the Xuan Yi Sect, even if something really outrageous were to happen out of anger today, the Ming Family wouldn’t dare take it up with Xuan Yi Sect!

Mo Qianyi laughed mockingly, "Xueying, you saw it too, this brat insists on seeking death!"

"In that case, your Ming Family can’t blame me!"

Ming Xueying took a deep breath, "Mo Qianyi, there are many ways to solve a problem, like... like a stone duel!"

"Yes, a stone duel can work too!"

"Stone duel?"

Qin Qi was a bit surprised.

The Celestial Joyful Witch explained, "This is a common type of duel among cultivators in the Secret Realm. In the Secret Realm, there are strange stones called ’Spirit Stones.’ Once a cultivator holds this stone, it can endlessly absorb their mana!"

"So, if cultivators can’t resolve issues through dueling, they often use stone duels to settle disputes!"

"The winner is simple to determine; whoever holds out longer while holding the Spirit Stone wins!"

Mo Qianyi sneered, "Haha, alright? However, there must be a wager!"

"What’s the wager?" Ming Xueying asked.

Mo Qianyi twisted his neck, "Whoever loses kneels to the winner and calls them ’grandfather’ three times!"

"That’s a bit excessive!" Ming Xueying gritted her silver teeth, still wanting to ease Qin Qi’s predicament.

Hearing this, Qin Qi smirked.

He leisurely said, "That wager isn’t enough. To prevent any regrets later on, let’s swear by our Heart Demons!"

"The loser not only kneels and kowtows but must also address the other as grandfather whenever they meet and obediently act as a good grandson!"

Upon hearing this, everyone inhaled sharply.

"No, doesn’t this Qin kid know the weight of Xuan Yi Sect?"

"This kid is closing off his escape route!"

Ming Xueying and Ming Lan’s faces changed noticeably.

What exactly was Qin Qi trying to do?

The stone duel was already the best retreat Ming Xueying had thought of for Qin Qi. Even if he lost, Qin Qi would only suffer embarrassment, not injury or loss of life.

But the wager Qin Qi set with the opponent was even scarier than death!

This bet even stunned Mo Qianyi; his eyes narrowed into slits, and he hesitated for a while.

Qin Qi chuckled, "What, afraid?"

Mo Qian, having initiated the trouble, couldn’t hold back his anger when provoked by Qin Qi.

He growled, "Afraid? Kid, you’re really overestimating yourself. Do you really think you can win against me?"

"Fine, let’s follow your wager. By Heart Demon, I swear!"

Hearing this, Qin Qi was overjoyed inside.

This Mo Qianyi had finally fallen into the trap.

In the Fake Core Stage, the burst strength was indeed several times stronger than the Foundation Establishment Stage, but ultimately, it didn’t mean their mana was much deeper than a typical Foundation Establishment Stage.

After all, a Fake Pill is just a Fake Pill and hasn’t fully entered the Core Formation Stage!

Qin Qi waved his hand, "I now swear by my Heart Demon..."

Mo Qianyi, hearing Qin Qi swear so decisively, couldn’t back down and immediately made his oath with his Heart Demon.

For their level of cultivation, swearing by the Heart Demon was undoubtedly the best constraint!

After all, no one wishes to be unable to break through the Core Formation Stage in their lifetime!

Seeing the oaths completed, Mo Qianyi took out a Spirit Stone from his storage pouch, "Kid, where’s your Spirit Stone?"

Qin Qi didn’t have one and glanced at Ming Xueying, "Miss Xue Ying, may I borrow a Spirit Stone?"

Ming Xueying sighed and retrieved a Spirit Stone from her storage pouch, handing it to Qin Qi.

She sighed inwardly as if she had already foreseen Qin Qi’s tragic defeat.

Nonetheless, she barely moved her lips and sent a message; "Qin Qi, although both Mo Qianyi and Xue Zhou are in the Fake Core Stage, the difference is vast."

"Mo Qianyi, as a top disciple of Xuan Yi Sect, is much stronger than Xue Zhou. You must not be careless!"

With this said, she sighed again.

If Qin Qi truly loses today and bears a Heart Demon!

At least she could say she did her best.

It wasn’t easy to find an interesting man, yet he ended up with such a tragic outcome.

Qin Qi didn’t say anything extra. After infusing mana into the Spirit Stone, he calmly looked at Mo Qianyi, "Can we start?"

Mo Qianyi laughed derisively, "Kid, you still have time to regret this!"

"What, are you scared?" Qin Qi smiled.

Mo Qianyi snorted out a laugh, "I’ll count to three, and we’ll simultaneously hold the Spirit Stone."

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Both Qin Qi and Mo Qianyi held the Spirit Stone without any extra actions.

In a short time, they both felt their mana massively pouring into the stone!

"Wow!"

Even Qin Qi was amazed.

This Spirit Stone absorbed mana at an astonishing rate.

In a brief spell, a tenth of his mana, refined through the Source Celestial Scripture, was drawn away!

However, although he felt a bit anxious inside, he maintained his calm exterior.

Thus, time ticked on.

Approximately thirty breaths later.

Several people gasped.

"Mo Qianyi’s mana is truly profound, usually, Fake Core Stage cultivators by thirty breaths would have exhausted more than half their mana, turning pale and sweating profusely!"

"But Mo Qianyi still seems fine, showcasing his solid foundation!"

"But who is this Qin Qi, lasting thirty breaths as if it’s nothing?"

"Hah, he’s surely just putting on a show, soon the truth will reveal itself!"

Initially, Mo Qianyi thought the same.

However, as time stretched on, he felt increasingly uneasy.

At the fortieth breath, he could still hang on.

But by the fiftieth breath, he was visibly struggling.

Half his mana was siphoned off.

Yet when he glanced at Qin Qi, he saw him calm and steady, breathing evenly, showing no signs of depletion. In comparison, his own state seemed eerily stable!

"No, how is this possible!" Mo Qianyi’s pupils shrank.

He couldn’t believe it.

Though struggling, he persisted.

Qin Qi, realizing Mo Qianyi’s plight, chuckled, "What’s wrong? Can’t hold on?"

"Kid, let’s see how long you can pretend." Mo Qianyi hissed, "Haha, if you push this to the end, I want to see when you’ll crack!"

"Relying on brute stalling to make me give up? You’re being way too naive!"
