The Qin Residence was located in the northern part of the Sky Harmony City, about a hundred miles away from the Bai Clan. After leaving the Bai Clan, although Qin Wentian hastened his steps, it was already daytime when he arrived at the Qin Residence.
Stepping on the path of Martial Arts, Qin Wentian's bones and muscles were extremely strong. Even after walking for an entire night, Qin Wentian didn't feel tired at all. Outside the Qin Residence, the statue of the ancestor of the Qin Clan, Qin Wu, was still there.
Qin Wu, the former Marshal of the Chu Country. He was in charge of the Great Chu Army, and his name shook the entire Chu Country. His military achievements were illustrious, and he had once saved the previous Emperor from danger, dying for the sake of his country. However, after the current Emperor ascended to the throne, he ordered the Qin Clan to move north to the Sky Harmony City, far away from the center of power.
Qin Wentian smiled bitterly as he stared at the statue of the Marshal. His experiences these few days were somewhat similar to what he had experienced in the Qin Clan.
Stepping into the Qin Residence, Qin Wentian saw many people rushing towards a certain direction. He couldn't help but call out to a serving maid, "What happened?"
"Young Master Wentian, the young masters and misses who were cultivating in the various academies in the Royal Capital have all returned. Today, the Clan Lord is in the training grounds to test their progress." The serving maid replied.
The Chu Country had been established for three thousand years, and was extremely vast. There were over a hundred cities, and a population of over a hundred million. The Royal Capital of the Chu Country was the most flourishing. Not only was it the center of power, but it was also the sacred ground of Wu Xiu. There were many famous academies and prestigious clans. People from all over the Chu Country would send their talented youths to the famous academies to cultivate.
The Qin Clan was no exception. In Qin Wentian's generation, there were three people who were cultivating in the academies in the Royal Capital. They were the future of the Qin Clan.
"Returning from the Royal Capital, I wonder what level of cultivation they've reached." Qin Wentian silently mused as he walked towards the training grounds of the Qin Clan.
When Qin Wentian arrived at the training grounds, he saw that those with status in the Qin Clan were all there. On the platform, the sounds of wind and thunder could be heard as two young disciples were sparring.
"Qin Zhi." Qin Wentian looked at one of the youths, who was dressed in a yellow robe. He was about the same age as Qin Wentian. At that moment, Qin Zhi struck out with the Roaring Tiger Fist. With a loud roar, he was like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain, causing the forest to tremble. In an instant, the youth opposite him was directly crushed. With a loud bang, he was sent flying, and his body fell heavily off the stage.
"This Ferocious Tiger Descends the Mountain Fist is even scarier than a real tiger. I'm afraid Qin Zhi has already reached the 7th level of the Body Refinement Realm." Qin Wentian thought to himself as he felt the might of that punch. An ordinary Wu Xiu, at the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm, had the strength of forty-nine bulls, and his fists were harder than steel.
Qin Zhi had condensed his Ferocious Tiger Astral Soul and was a Stellar Martial Cultivator. His strength was even stronger than before, and in addition to the amplification of the Tiger Roar Fist Art, his strength was terrifying to the extreme.
"He's only a young martial artist, yet he's already able to unleash such a powerful punch. This Qin Zhi's talent is still below that of Qin Shang and sister Qin Yao. Sister Qin Yao stepped into the 8th level of the Body Refinement Realm last year, and I'm afraid that she's even stronger now."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed as he silently mused, "Not only that, this is only the Body Refinement Realm. If he steps into the Arterial Circulation Realm, all the acupoints in his body would be stimulated, and a boundless amount of energy would circulate in his body, connecting all nine of his meridians. At that time, he would be able to unleash innate techniques that are even stronger than normal techniques. How tyrannical would that be?"
"Wentian." At this moment, a voice drifted over. After which, several gazes landed on Qin Wentian, and the person who spoke was none other than the clan leader of the Qin Clan, Qin Chuan.
"Wentian, why are you back?" Qin Chuan's imposing demeanor changed, as a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Foster father." Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Qin Wentian didn't know where to start. Ever since he was young, Uncle Black had brought him along to live in the Qin Clan. The clan leader, Qin Chuan, treated him as his foster son, and treated him like his own. In fact, he treated him even better than his own children.
"Seems like things are as I expected. Autumn Snow condensed an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, and her talent shocked the entire Chu Empire. I think that she must have been chased out of the Qin Clan." A person beside Qin Chuan coldly stated. This person was none other than Qin Chuan's cousin, the second son of the Qin Clan, Qin He.
"Impudent." Qin Chuan berated.
"Big Brother, you just don't believe my words. Now that the Bai Clan is in close contact with the people of the Royal Capital, I've even heard that the Ye Clan of the Royal Capital has already met with the Bai Clan. Not only that, Autumn Snow's talent has already attracted the attention of many people. Do you think that the Bai Clan will still abide by this marriage agreement?" Qin He helplessly spoke, his words causing the expressions of the crowd to change.
However, at this moment, the sound of wind whistling could be heard. The crowd inclined their heads and stared at the sky, only to see a gigantic eagle hovering in the air. On the back of the eagle, there was a yellow-robed silhouette.
Qin Chuan furrowed his brows. This person wasn't polite at all. The gigantic eagle was actually hovering in the air above them.
"Teacher." At this moment, beside Qin Chuan, a young girl called out to the skies. Momentarily, Qin Chuan's gaze froze as he asked, "Yao`er, is that your teacher?"
"Mhm." Qin Yao nodded her head, "Teacher, why are you so free to visit the Qin Clan? Please, have a seat of honor."
"Yao`er, I heard that the Qin Clan and Autumn Snow from the Bai Clan have a marriage agreement. Is this true?" The yellow-robed middle-aged man asked.
Qin Yao's countenance flickered, but she still replied, "Yes, this is true."
As the sound of her voice faded, the gigantic eagle hovered in the air, landing on the viewing platform. A smile appeared on its face, "Today, I'm here precisely for this matter. I heard that Autumn Snow's talent is outstanding, and the Royal Academy wishes to recruit her."
The hearts of the crowd couldn't help but shiver when they heard this. Autumn Snow had leapt up to become a dragon and phoenix amongst humans, and even the Royal Academy of Chu had personally come to recruit her. One must know that in the entire Qin Clan, only the most talented of them all, Qin Yao, was able to enter the Royal Academy.
"If the Royal Academy wishes to recruit Autumn Snow, wouldn't it be better for Teacher to send an invitation letter and allow her to register at the Royal Academy next spring?" Qin Yao replied.
"Qin Yao, things are different this time around. Autumn Snow's first Astral Soul was condensed from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. Many academies in the Royal Capital have sent representatives to recruit her, so we might as well arrange a recruitment event in the Sky Harmony City. The event will be held two days from now, and the location will be outside the Bai Clan's residence."
"On the birthday of the Bai Clan's Clan Leader, outside the Bai Clan's residence." Qin Yao's gaze froze. This event was obviously specially prepared for Autumn Snow alone.
"That's right. Actually, this recruitment is just a side event. The main point is still to recruit Autumn Snow. Even the Emperor Star Academy might send representatives over. Hence, we don't dare to be careless."
"Haha, Talon, since you already know that the Emperor Star Academy will be coming, why do you still need to do this?" A hearty laughter echoed in the air. Talon's gaze froze as he cast his gaze in the direction of the voice, only to see a figure walking in his direction, causing his pupils to shrink.
"Mustang!" Talon coldly laughed in his heart. He didn't expect that Mustang would also want to use the marriage agreement between the Qin Clan and the Qin Clan. However, Qin Yao was his disciple, so there was no hope for Mustang.
"Brother Qin, long time no see. I wonder how your father is doing?" Mustang walked up, looking at Qin Chuan.
The father he was referring to was naturally Qin Wu's son, Qin Wu. He was also the father of the current Qin Clan Leader, Qin Chuan. Before Qin Wu died, Qin Wu had followed his father to battle on the battlefield, and his prestige within the army was extremely high. After Qin Wu's death, and the previous Emperor's death, the current Emperor used an empty title to send Qin Wu to the Sky Harmony City.
"Many thanks for Brother Mustang's concern. My father is doing well, it's just that he doesn't like to move around, so he's unable to receive you personally." Qin Chuan smiled at Mustang, while his heart trembled. Mustang was a student of the Emperor Star Academy, and he actually came here for Autumn Snow. It seemed like the Bai Clan would definitely break off the marriage agreement.
"Mustang, Autumn Snow will definitely enter my Royal Academy." Talon stared at Mustang, his tone containing hints of provocation.
"Oh?" Mustang laughed, as he sat down. His gaze swept across the crowd, and when his eyes landed on Qin Wentian, he paused for a moment. Last night, he snuck into the Bai Clan, wanting to find out which genius the Bai Clan was hiding. However, he didn't expect to discover something interesting. That person actually snuck out of the Bai Clan, and under his curiosity, he followed him all the way to the Qin Clan.
"And here I thought that the Bai Clan was hiding a Yuanfu Realm cultivator, but who would have thought that it would be a youth around the same age as Autumn Snow. Based on the strength of his Astral Energy, this young man's talent is definitely not below Autumn Snow's." Mustang silently mused.
At this moment, the members of the Qin Clan were all sighing in their hearts. The Royal Academy was the Royal Academy of the Chu Country, and only accepted geniuses from the Royal Clan. It was ranked within the top three among all the academies in the Chu Country.
The Emperor Star Academy didn't accept anyone who wasn't a Stellar Martial Cultivator. As long as one entered, they would all be at least at the Yuanfu Realm, the cradle of geniuses. The Yuanfu Realm was an existence that surpassed the 9 levels of Arterial Circulation. They could absorb the essence of the Heavens and Earth, and their innate techniques and techniques were all extremely powerful. Not only that, they could also form a Yuanfu within their bodies, which contained boundless amounts of Yuan Energy, allowing them to soar through the skies.
Cultivators at the Yuanfu Realm were all powerful characters that could do whatever they wanted in the Sky Harmony City.
And now, the Royal Academy and the Emperor Star Academy had come to the Qin Clan for the sake of Autumn Snow.
