The two of them chatted as though no one else was present, causing Gretchen's countenance to grow increasingly unhappy. She didn't expect that Immortal Drunken Wine would actually help Qin Wentian.
The third ranked prodigy of the Royal Capital, Immortal Drunken Wine, wasn't an existence that could be trifled with.
"I didn't expect to find a backer so quickly." Gretchen indifferently glanced at Qin Wentian. "But, do you really think that I need a helper to deal with you?"
When Murin and Gretchen were in the Sky Harmony City, they had already investigated Qin Wentian thoroughly. At that time, Qin Wentian had displayed outstanding talent, condensing an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, and had even used some special methods to kill Ye Lang. Now that three months had passed, even if Qin Wentian's strength had improved a little, what could he do?
As for the demonic ape that appeared in the Star River Association, Murin told her that it was a summoned Astral Warbeast. It was highly possible that it was a life-saving talisman left behind by the ancestor of the Qin Clan, the Wu King.
"What kind of talent can a clan that's on the verge of collapse nurture?" Gretchen coldly laughed, as she turned and commanded, "Leave."
Although Gretchen was arrogant, she wasn't so arrogant that she would directly make a move in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Those beside Gretchen all laughed as they stared at Qin Wentian, with expressions of ridicule on their faces. What a reckless fool.
"Interesting." The surrounding spectators all had the attitude of watching a good show. Qin Wentian and the rest lifted their feet as they asked Francis, "Are all weaponsmiths so arrogant?"
"Powerful weaponsmiths all have an innate arrogance." Francis laughed, "I was just a 1st-level weaponsmith in the past, but you've seen me before …"
As he spoke, Francis looked at Qin Wentian with some embarrassment.
Qin Wentian laughed. Indeed, when he first met Francis, this fellow was also extremely arrogant in front of him.
After exiting the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Gretchen turned around and stared at Qin Wentian, as a cold light flashed in her eyes. Earlier, Qin Wentian had intentionally bid against her, causing her to suffer a great loss. Just this point alone was enough for Qin Wentian to pay with his life.
"She wants to kill." Fan Le's eyes narrowed. This woman wasn't simply arrogant. Her heart was extremely vicious as well. She actually wanted to kill him.
"Buzz." All of a sudden, Gretchen moved. Her movements were graceful and agile, as fast as lightning. A ray of sword light bloomed abruptly, revealing a chilling intent. The sword slashed directly at Qin Wentian's body.
"What a fast sword." The crowd was stunned. Gretchen wanted to kill Qin Wentian.
A terrifying aura emanated from Qin Wentian's palm. After cultivating the Thousand Hand Imprint for so long, it was time for him to put it into practice.
With a stomp of his foot, the ground trembled. Qin Wentian's entire being seemed to be filled with explosive strength as he directly blasted out a palm strike. A terrifying palm imprint exuded a fearsome might as golden light radiated from it. This was none other than the first stance of the Thousand Hands Imprint, the Adamantine Imprint.
Gretchen's sword condensed from Astral Energy directly exploded. She didn't even have the time to unleash the full might of her sword technique before she was completely suppressed.
The Thousand Hands Imprint was known for its tyrannical attacks. Not only that, Qin Wentian's Astral Energy originated from the 5th Heavenly Layer, along with the tyrannical might of the Heavenly Hammer Constellation. Even if he didn't use his Divine Yuan Energy, the power of his attacks would still be extremely terrifying.
Boom, boom! Qin Wentian stomped on the ground as he dashed towards Gretchen. Both his palms simultaneously blasted out as two terrifying imprints pressed downwards. Gretchen's countenance instantly paled. She immediately pulled out the Origin Sword she had just obtained, and at the same time, released her sword-type Astral Soul. "Single Slash" Sword Light blossomed, forcefully shattering one of the Adamantine Imprints. However, the other palm imprint closed in on her, and she could only hurriedly raise her hands in response.
A muffled boom rang out, and Gretchen felt as though her arms were about to shatter. At the same time, fresh blood seeped out from the corners of her mouth.
Qin Wentian didn't give Gretchen any chance to retaliate. The roars of a dragon echoed out as an enraged dragon's arm directly snatched away the Origin Sword in Gretchen's hands. After which, a fist smashed into Gretchen's body, causing Gretchen to be flung through the air as she fell heavily onto the ground.
The battle ended in an instant. The spectators were all dumbfounded as they watched the results of the battle. This fellow's attacks were too tyrannical. After seizing the initiative, he unleashed a torrent of attacks that directly destroyed Gretchen.
Wang Chong and the rest dashed forward, only to see Immortal Drunken Wine taking a step forward as a terrifying Sword Qi enveloped the entire space, causing Wang Chong and the rest to freeze in place.
At the same time, Qin Wentian had already arrived in front of Gretchen. Standing there, he lowered his head and looked down at Gretchen, who was sitting on the ground. A faint smile could be seen on his face as he held the Origin Sword in his hands. As long as he pierced downwards, Gretchen would definitely die.
"I really don't understand what you have to be so proud of." Qin Wentian calmly stated. Traces of mockery could be seen in his eyes, piercing into Gretchen's heart. She had never suffered such humiliation before.
But today, she was defeated by her opponent. She had nothing to say.
The pain of being defeated, as well as this humiliation, was extremely painful.
"Immortal Drunken Wine, if something really happens to Gretchen, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences." Wang Chong coldly stared at Immortal Drunken Wine, who was blocking his path, before shifting his gaze onto Qin Wentian. "And you, take your sword away."
Immortal Drunken Wine laughed, "If I were you, I would immediately shut my mouth. If not, if he really killed Gretchen, things wouldn't be too good."
"Gretchen is a student of the Royal Academy, and a 2nd-level Weaponsmith from the Star River Association." Wang Chong coldly stated.
"A month ago, he killed Orfon in front of Orchon and many other Elders of the Emperor Star Academy. If you continue to anger him, don't blame me for not warning you." Immortal Drunken Wine casually shrugged his shoulders.
"Qin Wentian from the Emperor Star Academy." The countenance of a student from the Royal Academy stiffened. Evidently, the news of Qin Wentian's deeds in the Emperor Star Academy had long been spread throughout the Royal Academy. It was only because a month had passed that Gretchen, who had just returned to the academy, didn't know about it.
"He killed Orfon?" Gretchen sat up, staring at her companion as she asked.
"Yes, in the Emperor Star Academy's ranking competition, in front of everyone on the arena." That person nodded his head, glancing at Qin Wentian as he continued, "Not only that, his two Astral Souls originated from the 3rd and 4th Heavenly Layers respectively. The Emperor Star Academy only confined him for a month."
Gretchen's countenance turned strange as she stared at the smiling youth. In just a span of three months, he had already completed his transformation?
"Can I trouble you to pass this message to Murin that I will find him for that debt in the future? Scram now." Qin Wentian tossed the Origin Sword to the ground, as Gretchen stood up and left in a sorry state.
Qin Wentian had actually entered the Emperor Star Academy, and had such talent. This caused a huge impact to her heart.
Qin Wentian didn't kill Gretchen. He was very clear of his current situation in the Royal Capital. The Ye Clan and the Ou Clan had no leeway to salvage the situation. Although he had already entered the Emperor Star Academy, he didn't think that he would be able to rest easy. On the contrary, there were many people who wanted him dead.
Regardless of the Emperor Star Academy, the Divine Weapon Pavilion, or even Immortal Drunken Wine, this wasn't his own strength. Only when he was strong enough to contend against everything would he have the qualifications to do whatever he wanted.
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze towards Immortal Drunken Wine, only to see Immortal Drunken Wine laughing, "Care about being drunk?"
"Care about being drunk." Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded his head. "Where are we going?"
"Wherever we go. You just have to pay the bill." Immortal Drunken Wine laughed. Qin Wentian shrugged his shoulders as he turned to Sheena and Fan Le, "Fatty, what about the two of you?"
"Hehe." Fatty blinked his eyes as he laughed, "How about this, Sheena, you go pick a Divine Weapon and put it on boss' tab. I will go out with boss for a walk."
"This … …" Sheena stared at Qin Wentian in bewilderment.
"Francis, bring Sheena along. Just put it on my tab." Qin Wentian spoke to Francis as he rolled his eyes at Fatty. This damnable Fatty kept calling him boss every day, he would have to pay the price for it.
"Sheena, there's no need to be so polite with boss." Fatty had a wretched smile on his face. He had personally witnessed the wealth of weaponsmiths. In the future, he would definitely extort more from them.
Francis brought Sheena to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, while Qin Wentian and the other two headed in another direction. Fatty sized up Immortal Drunken Wine as he asked, "Ranked third among the ten prodigies of the Royal Capital, you should be very strong, right?"
"Not bad." Immortal Drunken Wine looked at Fatty with interest.
"If that's the case, after drinking, we will all be brothers. If I need your help in a fight, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Fatty's eyes lit up, while Qin Wentian rolled his eyes. This fellow's calculations were quite good. If he could invite Immortal Drunken Wine for a fight, killing Orchon wouldn't be a problem at all.
"As long as you get drunk, there's no problem in fighting. Just don't make me kick an iron board." Immortal Drunken Wine laughed as he replied. Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Qin Wentian, when are you able to forge a 2nd-level high-grade Origin Sword? Remember to give me one." Immortal Drunken Wine looked at Qin Wentian.
"No problem." Qin Wentian nodded his head. Immortal Drunken Wine had a carefree personality, he didn't mind asking him for a Divine Weapon. If it was an ordinary person, they would have definitely avoided it.
… …
Back at the Knight's Association, Orchon, Murong Feng and the rest were gathered together. Orchon stared at Murong Feng as he spoke, "Today, a battle took place outside the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Qin Wentian's cultivation has already broken through to the 2nd level of Arterial Circulation. Not only that, Mustang should have imparted to him the Earth-grade innate technique, the Thousand Hands Imprint. He has already mastered the first stance of the Diamond Imprint."
"Do you think he can threaten me?" Murong Feng stared at Orchon.
"At the very least, we can't be too careless. Back then in the Dark Forest, I thought he would die, but in the end, the one who died was my younger brother. We can't let go of this opportunity. I will give you an Earth-grade innate technique for you to cultivate. Also, do you want to raise your Emperor Star Jade Medallion to the 5th level?"
Murong Feng's eyes narrowed. With a fifth-grade Emperor Star Jade Medallion, he would be able to enjoy even better cultivation resources. To him, this was undoubtedly a great temptation. However, he didn't have enough Yuan Meteor Stones.
"Of course." Murong Feng nodded.
"In a battle on the platform, it's hard to avoid situations where one cannot hold back. If Qin Wentian is crippled, I can guarantee that you will be able to reach the 5th level." A cold light flickered in Orchon's eyes. As long as he crippled Qin Wentian, the Emperor Star Academy would no longer nurture trash. Qin Wentian would die without a doubt.
The Ye Clan and Ou Clan would be willing to provide the 300 Yuan Meteor Stones.
Murong Feng's eyes narrowed. The academy wanted him to take the risk. If he really crippled Qin Wentian, what would the Emperor Star Academy's attitude be?
"This is a fair battle. With us here, the Emperor Star Academy won't make things difficult for a genius for the sake of a crippled Qin Wentian." Orchon's eyes were as cold as ice. Upon hearing his words, Murong Feng's eyes flickered with a ruthless glint.
