In the spectator stands, the spectators inclined their heads and stared at the skies. The reverberations of the drums were still reverberating in the air, as though there was a terrifying current of energy circulating in the air.
"Demonic genius, no wonder Ye WuQue from the Ye Clan didn't hesitate to give up the chance to form a marriage alliance with the Royal Clan, and chose Autumn Snow instead. This phoenix amongst women, her future achievements wouldn't be any less than Ye WuQue's." Seifer of the Royal Academy silently mused.
"Autumn Snow, if you join the Royal Academy, I can immediately bestow upon you a Yuanfu Realm Cultivation Art, as well as three powerful innate techniques. How about it?" Xingfeng stated, officially extending an olive branch to Autumn Snow. "What do you think?
"My Divine Wind Academy is also willing to provide you with a Yuanfu Realm Cultivation Art, three powerful innate techniques, and will also invite a Doyen Elder of the Divine Wind Academy to personally guide you." The Divine Wind Academy offered even more enticing conditions.
"The Seven Stars Academy can provide you with three Yuanfu Realm Cultivation Arts and three powerful innate techniques. In addition, you will have the privilege of bringing five members of your clan into the Seven Stars Academy to cultivate." The Seven Stars Academy was not only willing to nurture Autumn Snow, they even gave her the privilege of developing her clan.
"The Emperor Star Academy welcomes you." Those standing beside Mustang couldn't help but to open their mouths, causing a smile to blossom on Autumn Snow's face. All four great academies were inviting her at the same time.
Seeing the silhouette standing up from the spectator stands, Autumn Snow didn't immediately agree. Instead, she turned and looked at Qin Wentian as she calmly stated, "Do you understand now?"
"Understand what?" Qin Wentian countered.
"The so-called marriage, in the face of absolute disparity, is nothing but a joke. In the future, just live the life of an ordinary person." Autumn Snow calmly continued, "My life and yours are destined to be two parallel lines that will never intersect."
After which, Autumn Snow turned and walked towards the direction of the spectator stands. The gazes of the crowd were fixated on her, wanting to see who she would choose!
"Wait!" At this moment, Qin Wentian's voice sounded out. Autumn Snow turned around and stared at Qin Wentian, only to see a hint of a smile in his eyes, causing her to be stunned.
"Your test has ended, but I, have yet to begin!" Qin Wentian calmly stated, his words causing Autumn Snow's countenance to freeze. He actually wanted to give it a try?
Only to see Qin Wentian walking in front of the drum, drawing in a deep breath. Currently, his cultivation base was at the 5th level of the Body Refinement Realm. Even if the Heavenly Hammer Constellation gave him a huge boost, there was still a gap between his strength and Autumn Snow's. But now, the only thing he could do was to give it his all, and fight with his life on the line.
The difference between the two levels was extremely great. For ordinary cultivators at the 5th level of the Body Refinement Realm, they would only have the strength of 25 bulls. But for Qin Wentian, he was a pure Stellar Martial Cultivator. Not only that, he had already condensed an Astral Soul from the 5th Heavenly Layer, and condensed a tyrannical Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul. The vast amount of Astral Energy from his Astral Soul allowed him to unleash more than double his normal strength, reaching the strength of 50 bulls.
In addition to the fact that he had been practicing the Dragon Subduing Fist for the past few days, he had already familiarized himself with the stances of the Dragon Subduing Fist. This was sufficient to further increase his strength, reducing the gap between him and Autumn Snow. Hence, this time around, he had to give it his all.
"Hmph!" Talon coldly snorted. If Qin Wentian failed to strike the drum thrice, he would definitely teach Qin Wentian a lesson.
Mustang's eyes narrowed as he smiled. It was as though he could already smell the aura of a rising lion.
Not only that, Qin Chuan's countenance fluctuated. Could it be that Qin Wentian had truly broken through the restrictions of his terminated meridians and stepped onto the path of cultivation?
Qin Wentian gazed at the drum in front of him. At this moment, he had entered into an ethereal state, forgetting everything else. It was as though he wanted to vent all the humiliation he had suffered during the past few days onto the drum.
Abruptly, Qin Wentian moved. His fists were like the wind, directly slamming onto the drum.
"Boom, boom, boom …" The drum thrice sounded out. Although it was an ordinary sound, it still caused the expressions of many to freeze. Qin Wentian, who had crippled meridians, had actually managed to strike the drum thrice. This meant that Qin Wentian possessed the strength of 30 bulls.
"Wentian!" Qin Chuan's body violently trembled. To him, the sound of the drum thrice was akin to the sound of the heavens.
Beside Qin Chuan, Qin Yao's fists were tightly clenched. Qin Wentian had managed to strike the drum thrice.
Talon, Bai Qingsong, Autumn Snow and the rest froze in shock. However, after a brief moment of shock, their countenances returned to normal. So what if it was three reverberations? It was merely the strength of 30 bulls. Maybe Qin Wentian had cultivated the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Qin Wentian's body emitted cracking sounds. His entire body seemed to be filled with boundless energy. His Astral Meridians transformed into a whirlpool as the Astral Energy from the Astral Meridians flowed frenziedly into Qin Wentian's arms, causing the clenched fists of Qin Wentian to emit cracking sounds.
"Raging Dragon Emerges from the Seas!" At this moment, Qin Wentian was akin to an enraged dragon, breaking through the seas. Gathering boundless energy into his fists, he ferociously slammed them onto the drum.
"Boom …" The sound of the drum shook the heavens, causing the eardrums of the spectators to ache.
"Boom, boom, boom …" The sound of the drum didn't stop, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the fourth reverberation.
Qin Wentian was completely immersed in the rhythm of the drum, as though he was one with it. The fearsome reverberation force blasted against his body, and the sound of the drum shook his soul. His bones unceasingly emitted crackling sounds, and a transformation occurred within his body. His muscles and bones felt as though they were being cleansed, as though he had been reborn. This was a breakthrough!
However, the sound of his bones was completely overshadowed by the sound of the drum. As the fifth reverberation reverberated, the spectators in the spectator stands were shaken. Qin Wentian had managed to strike the drum five times, and the aftershock of the sound waves still lingered in the air.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a smile, he wasn't disappointed in the slightest. He didn't expect that he would break through to the 6th level of the Body Refinement Realm at this moment. It seemed like the energy from the Yuan Meteor Stone had not been wasted.
"Good!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but exclaim in joy. Five reverberations, equivalent to the strength of 50 bulls.
The slumbering genius had finally awoken.
"There's actually a fifth reverberation." The countenances of Bai Qingsong and the rest froze. Evidently, they hadn't expected that Qin Wentian would be able to strike the drum five times.
"You actually hid the fact that you've cultivated the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth from me, yet you didn't allow me to absorb it. How ridiculous." Autumn Snow stared at Qin Wentian. With the strength of 50 bulls, Qin Wentian's cultivation base could very well be at the 7th level of the Body Refinement Realm or even higher. However, he had yet to condense an Astral Soul. This meant that Qin Wentian had always been cultivating the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.
She would never have imagined that Qin Wentian only used a short seven days to reach his current level of cultivation. She would also never have imagined that a pure Stellar Martial Cultivator, with the Astral Energy from the 5th Heavenly Layer tempered and tempered over and over again, would have such a perfect physique, and how powerful the amplification of strength would be.
"How pitiful." Qin Wentian stared at Autumn Snow, as he indifferently remarked. Abruptly, the Astral Light from the Astral Constellation shone resplendently. Above Qin Wentian's head, an Astral Soul was condensed. That Astral Soul was in the form of a gigantic hammer, surrounded by a faint golden halo of light. Not only that, it was even more resplendent compared to Autumn Snow's Astral Soul, and the amount of Astral Energy contained within it was even greater as well.
"BOOM!" Abruptly, the entire space trembled. Astral Soul, oh my god, Qin Wentian not only unleashed a strength of 50 bulls, he had even condensed an Astral Soul. He was a Stellar Martial Cultivator!
One must know that the talent displayed by Qin Wentian in the aspect of affinity for Astral Energy had already surpassed 9 stars.
"This Astral Soul was definitely condensed from an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. It's even brighter than Autumn Snow's Astral Soul." The hearts of the spectators trembled violently.
A talent that surpassed 9 stars, and an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. At this moment, the halo of light that enveloped Qin Wentian's body seemed to be able to suppress Autumn Snow.
"Good, good!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but shout out. He felt as though he had exhaled all the depressed feelings in his chest. This was too refreshing, a Stellar Martial Cultivator with a talent that surpassed 9 stars, and an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer.
"Who said that my son, Qin Wentian, isn't worthy of Autumn Snow? Is she worthy of my son, Qin Wentian?!" Qin Chuan coldly spat out, as he swept his gaze onto Bai Qingsong. At this moment, Bai Qingsong's eyes were filled with amazement, as though he couldn't believe what he was seeing. How could this be possible?
Those from the four great academies all stood up once again, as they stared at the Astral Soul hovering above Qin Wentian's head. That glow was so dazzling, so resplendent.
"Hu … … A true demon-level genius has finally been born." Mustang drew in a deep breath, as his gaze blazed with passion. He was the first to know of Qin Wentian's existence. This sleeping dragon, had finally awoken.
"The Emperor Star Academy welcomes you as a member." Mustang smiled, and was the first to issue an invitation.
However, at this moment, it was as though Qin Wentian didn't hear it. His gaze was fixed on Autumn Snow, as a cold smile appeared on his face. "I really want to ask the Bai Clan, how did I scheme against you, Autumn Snow? And what qualifications do you have to teach me?!"
As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, as the Astral Energy within his body transformed into a terrifying vortex, gathering into his arms, as though it was about to explode. His fist transformed into a heavenly hammer, as though it had transformed into a soaring dragon. The dragon soared through the skies, its aura surged, containing boundless might. The heavenly hammer and the dragon's incarnation smashed downwards, slamming onto the drum. This was the strongest strike he could muster, as though he wanted to exhaust all the energy in his body.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" The Heavens and Earth trembled, as the sound of the drum shook the heavens. Five consecutive reverberations rang out, causing the winds and clouds to change.
"Boom!" The sixth reverberation was akin to the galloping of ten thousand horses, causing the hearts of people to tremble.
"Boom!" As the seventh reverberation rang out, the hearts and bodies of the spectators trembled simultaneously. This reverberation had tied with Autumn Snow's record.
What was even more terrifying was that the reverberations of the drum still lingered in the air.
"Boom!" As the eighth reverberation rang out, the spectators felt as though they couldn't hear anything. They could only feel a raging wind blowing past their faces, while their hearts had already turned numb. This gale of wind also blew onto Autumn Snow's face. The eighth reverberation was akin to a ruthless slap on her face, so shocking, so resounding.
"Next, in the second round of the examination, I will let you see how vast the gulf between us is."
"My life, is destined to be two parallel lines that will never intersect with yours."
Autumn Snow's words were still ringing in his ears, but at this moment, they were so pale.
"ROAR!" A roar of rage rang out in unison. The soldiers of the Qin Clan roared in unison, akin to the roar of a dragon. In this entire Heavens and Earth, it was as though only Qin Wentian's halo existed. Autumn Snow's radiance, along with the sound of the eighth reverberation, was completely suppressed. Whether it was talent or strength, she couldn't be compared to Qin Wentian in any aspect.
Mustang's gaze grew even more fiery. Drawing in a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes as he spoke, "The Emperor Star Academy has decided to retract their earlier words, and reject the invitation to Autumn Snow. Qin Wentian, on behalf of the Emperor Star Academy, I would like to once again invite you to join us."
Those beside him glanced at Mustang, their eyes gleaming with sharpness. After which, they silently nodded in their hearts. Between the two geniuses, it was obvious that Qin Wentian was more dazzling. But now, they had chosen Qin Wentian instead of Autumn Snow.
"Because of Qin Wentian, the Emperor Star Academy has rejected Autumn Snow!" This voice caused the hearts of the spectators to tremble. Everything that happened today was so dramatic, so fascinating.
