My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 460: Chapter 210: Perfection

Seeing the inquisitive look on Qin Fang’s face...

...’Is this disciple of mine serious?’

"Why kill him?" his master asked.

Qin Fang replied respectfully, "I believe... he has developed the intent to kill me."

His master’s brow furrowed slightly. "Killing intent, you say?"

He mused for a moment before speaking. "However, he’s a True Disciple of Golden Rainbow Broken Gold Peak. He most likely carries his master’s War Gang Avatar. Killing him... would certainly alert the avatar, which would be a bit of a hassle."

This was what Qin Fang had been worried about, too, and he nodded instinctively.

But then he froze, looking at his master in surprise.

...’His master hadn’t questioned *if* he should be killed.’

Instead...

’He had jumped straight to discussing the logistics?’

His master noticed Qin Fang’s surprised expression, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled. "What’s so surprising? I can understand him stirring up trouble in the Sect... After all, our two sides are currently negotiating a joint front against the Three Religions. There’s bound to be a period of adjustment. He’s acting under his own sect’s instructions, suppressing our young disciples to bolster Golden Rainbow’s prestige. It’s a play to secure more initiative and leverage for the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect in our future cooperation. That’s perfectly understandable."

"The Sect is well aware of this... Besides, we were the ones who invited them first, so we can’t exactly use the same tactics to push back... Otherwise, wouldn’t we be bullying our guests?"

His master’s eyes narrowed slightly.

His master’s words made it all click for Qin Fang...

...’No wonder he’d felt something was off before.’

The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect had been invited to the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect to discuss how to deal with the Three Religions.

So why would they let their disciples set up an arena in the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect? And get all the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect disciples riled up?

’Were they out of their minds?’

But after hearing his master’s explanation, he understood...

...They were doing it on purpose.

They were using this method to suppress the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect as much as possible, hoping to seize the upper hand in the upcoming discussions and cooperation.

...Of course, both the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect and the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect knew perfectly well that this incident, by itself, wouldn’t have much of an effect.

’In fact, you could even say it would be minimal.’

’But no matter how small the effect...’

’...it’s still an effect, isn’t it?’

...The disciples of one sect consistently dominate the other’s. Even if no one brings it up during the negotiations...

...the dominating sect already holds a natural psychological advantage, doesn’t it?’

’Don’t underestimate that small advantage...’

’After all...’

’Does great momentum ever just appear out of thin air?’

’Isn’t ’great momentum’ just the accumulation of many ’small advantages’?’

’A little stronger here, a little stronger there—when it all adds up, that’s what forms ’great momentum.’’

There’s always a reason behind events that seem counter-intuitive.

"But by defeating him within the rules he set, you made their little trick backfire spectacularly. Now our Sect holds an even greater advantage."

His master finished with a smile, then paused. His eyes narrowed. "But if this has made him want you dead... well, that’s another matter entirely."

"He’s a True Disciple of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s Broken Gold Peak. His Talent is exceptional, and his background is quite powerful... If he truly wants you dead, you absolutely cannot afford to be careless."

His master looked at Qin Fang and nodded with deep satisfaction. "This mindset of yours is excellent. You don’t actively start trouble, but when you sense the first sign of a crisis, you must take it seriously... If carelessness allows a crisis to erupt while you’re unprepared, you will inevitably pay a heavy price."

"Your senior brother was once careless. He ignored a danger he had clearly perceived, but because he felt his status was high, he had the mentality of ’this is just a small matter, it won’t come to that’... He suffered a major setback and almost lost his life because of it."

"You must learn from his mistake. Once you sense danger, no matter how small, you must treat it with caution."

His master had begun his lesson.

Qin Fang blinked... ’His master’s personality seems even more... extreme... than I thought?’

"How are you so sure he wants to kill you?" his master inquired, seeking details.

"His very first move was a decapitation strike. If I had been even a fraction of a second slower, I would have been killed... After I defeated him, his eyes were brimming with killing intent... When he conceded, his tone was cold enough to freeze water... And at the very end, his eyes were filled with nothing but resentment and viciousness when he looked at me..."

"Oh? Then it seems his killing intent is truly ablaze..."

His master stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "I understand. As for this matter... don’t you worry about it. You can’t handle that War Gang Avatar... I have my own plans."

Hearing his master say this, Qin Fang was stunned for a long moment, but he finally replied respectfully, "Yes."

"Mm, go on... I don’t know how much longer the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect plans to stay in our Sect. You can decide for yourself whether you want to leave to cultivate again. But if you do go... leave your Spirit Dog behind for now. Go by yourself... Your Nature has been exposed, and many will likely guess you’ve had a fortuitous encounter. The Sect won’t covet your opportunity, but outsiders are a different story... especially since that Zhao Yuanling wants you dead. Your Spirit Dog draws too much attention; it’s not conducive to hiding your tracks."

His master advised him earnestly.

A light flickered in Qin Fang’s eyes as he listened.

Completely convinced, he respectfully accepted the instructions.

After leaving the peak, Qin Fang mulled over his master’s words.

It was true. Although he had been in the spotlight this time, his Profound Nether Nature had also been exposed.

Before, no one in the Guiyuan Lineage had coveted his good fortune.

But now, that might not be the case.

After all... he wasn’t the only one who cultivated the Profound Nether Nature.

’Looks like I’ll have to put things on hold for a while.’

Qin Fang made his decision without hesitation.

...’Old Ox Back can wait.’
