"Ineffective?"
"That's right, the elemental power in the palace is refined from normal spiritual energy, so it's very difficult for normal spiritual energy to harm it." Qin Xue Xin explained.
Hearing this, Qin Shi came to a realization, "No wonder when I attacked Xue Bin, even Amaterasu couldn't hurt him."
Nodding with a smile, Qin Xue Xin waved her hand and removed the ice armor from her skin.
At the same time he found it unbelievable, Qin Shi asked, "Then, I ran into quite a number of Heaven Realm elites before this, but why didn't I see any of them use Palace Armor?"
"I've said before that the palace itself is made of spiritual energy, so if the palace is damaged, it is the same as damaging the spiritual energy. The palaces of the Heaven Seizing realm are very weak, so before reaching the Heaven Equalling realm, very few people will take the initiative to bring out the palace. That day, you also forced Xue Bin to his limit, so he chose to bring out the palace in a panic, but he didn't expect that your mental energy would be so strong." When it came to mental energy, Qin Xue Xin looked at Qin Shi with admiration.
On this Wasteland Continent, no matter how high one's spiritual energy was, it was just a symbol of one's strength, but mental energy was completely different. With Qin Shi's current cultivation as a Demon Talisman Master, he would be valued in the entire continent.
And the stronger Qin Shi was, the more Qin Xue Xin felt that Qin Shi was really the one who had come to save her, and the love in her heart grew.
Qin Shi nodded thoughtfully. This was the first time he heard of such a difference between the Heaven Realm and the Mysterious Spirit Realm, and he said excitedly, "So that's how it is … Does that mean that once I reach the Heaven Equalling realm, I can use the Palace Armor at will?"
"Yes, more or less. The palaces of the Heaven Seizing realm are the foundations, and as long as the foundations are stable, even if the palaces of the Heaven Equalling realm are damaged, it won't hurt the spiritual energy, and once I reach the Heaven Ascending realm, I can release the elemental power and use it in martial arts."
"That powerful?"
He gasped in amazement. If elemental powers were used in martial arts, wouldn't that mean that as long as the person had not reached Heaven Realm, even if there were ten million people, he would be able to instantly kill them with a wave of his hand?
"That's not all. Rumor has it that as long as you can build nine palaces, you will be able to create a domain when you reach the peak of the Heaven Realm." Qin Xue Xin said with a smile.
"Domain Power?"
Qin Shi rubbed his nose in confusion. He had never even heard of such a thing. He asked, "What is that?"
Pursing her lips, Qin Xue Xin shook her head and said, "I don't know much about the power of Realm Force. I only know that it is the ability that can reach the top of the pyramid in the Wilds Continent. However, there are very few people who can reach that level. In our Blue Snow Sect, only the Sect Master and a few old Elders have this magical power. However, they have been in closed-door cultivation all year round. Even I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
Clenching his fists, Qin Shi didn't really understand. The power of Realm Force … Just hearing about it made him feel that it was amazing. He was full of yearning for it.
While yearning for it, he fell into deep thought for a long time, feeling helpless. "Hehe, I thought that with my current strength, I would be able to reach the peak of the Blazing Flame Empire. I didn't expect that there would always be someone better than me. It seems that if I want to stand in front of Xue Xin and shield her from the wind and rain, there is still a long way to go."
Sighing, Qin Shi didn't say anything more. He stepped forward and hugged Qin Xue Xin. He put away the bitterness on his face and said, "Silly girl, take a rest first. Get your body ready. We will depart in a few days."
After bidding farewell to Qin Xue Xin, Qin Shi dragged his heavy body back to his room. This night was destined to be a sleepless one. He stared at the wooden frame on the beam, his empty black eyes a little absent-minded.
Now that everything had been arranged properly, he only needed to wait for Qin Xue Xin's injuries to completely recover and meet up with Qiu Diao a month later. Then, he could march towards the North. For the rest of the time, he seemed to be a little relaxed and quiet.
With nothing to do, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The damage caused by the Glory Tournament had also been repaired during this period. Many disciples immediately began to gather on the central arena to spar and fight.
Occasionally, Qin Shi passed by and stood on the side to watch. Although most of them were King Spirit Realm and Cryptic Spirit Realm disciples, there was always someone to learn from. Everyone's moves and routines were different, which allowed him to learn a lot from them, such as the order in which they attacked, the tactics they used, and so on.
"Look, it's Shi Qin!"
"He's so handsome. Look at his dark eyes. Although they are a little small, they are so full of spirit, mixed with a touch of sadness. Aiya, he's looking at me. I'm going to faint from happiness."
Standing below the arena, Qin Shi, with his vast Mental Energy, heard all the discussions around him. Just as he turned around to look at the lady who had spoken, the latter's jade-like face turned rosy, and she fainted on the ground in an exaggerated manner.
He felt helpless. Actually, he just wanted to ask how his eyes were small. They were obviously very big, okay? This was a blatant slander.
"Brother Shi Qin, can you give me some pointers?"
"Yeah, there's a martial art that I can't practice properly."
Since Shi Qin defeated Yan Feng, the status of the two had changed. All the female disciples who used to be obsessed with Yan Feng flocked to Shi Qin.
Among the thousands of flowers, Qin Shi had nothing to do. Occasionally, he would give some pointers to these young girls. Of course, it was just a simple pointers. Currently, he, Jade In The Book, Yu Luocha, and Qin Xue Xin were all in a mess. They really didn't dare to have any more love affairs.
"Shi Qin, come and fight me!"
Just as he was imparting martial arts to a beautiful girl by the name of Yun Yu, he suddenly heard a furious roar through gritted teeth.
Without needing to recover his wits, Qin Shi knew who it was just by hearing the voice. He glanced at Yan Feng and shook his head helplessly. Ignoring him, he said to Yun Yu, "Let's stop here for today. I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, he walked away without looking back. He was about to leave the Mystical Hall. He didn't have time to play games with Yan Feng.
Yan Feng was naturally not willing to be ignored. He jumped into the arena and pointed at Qin Shi, scolding, "Coward, there are so many people watching. If you have the guts, don't run!"
Qin Shi snorted disdainfully at the mockery. Although he didn't care, it didn't mean that others didn't care. Yun Yu and many other girls rushed out of the arena to protect him. They said in disgust, "Yan Feng, do you have any shame?
You lost last time, and you still have the nerve to disturb Brother Shi Qin? "
"Yes, I lost last time, but it doesn't mean I will lose this time!" Yan Feng smiled confidently and pointed at Qin Shi, saying angrily, "Tsk, come on up!
Don't dare?
In my opinion, you must have relied on luck and tricks to win last time, right?
Otherwise, why don't you agree this time? "
"You …"
Yun Yu and the other girls gritted their teeth. Yan Feng angered them so much that their faces turned red. Yun Yu stepped forward and pouted at Qin Shi, "Brother Shi Qin, just fight him once. Otherwise, I don't think he will learn his lesson!"
"That's right, teach him a lesson."
As the crowd discussed, Qin Shi frowned. The confrontation between the two attracted more and more disciples. Even a few Elders came over, including the Big Dipper, the Grand Pure One, and the Prime Pure One.
After thinking about it, Qin Shi knew that this battle was unavoidable. Hence, he patted Yun Yu's shoulder and said, "Watch from below and gain more experience."
Qin Shi admired Yun Yu. She was a very hardworking lass. Previously, for the sake of practicing martial arts, she did not hesitate to injure herself all over.
Yun Yu was stunned for a moment before revealing a smile.
Without saying anything else, Qin Shi stepped onto the stage. He still had a grudge against Yan Feng, so he coldly said, "I'll grant your wish."
"Hmph, you really dare. This time, I will definitely make you regret it. Do you think I'm still the same as before?"
When Yan Feng saw Qin Shi, he coldly sneered. Shortly after, his Spiritual Energy surged and a faint lightning mark appeared on his forehead.
"The second Lightning Tribulation Mark?"
The crowd was stunned. Yun Yu and the rest couldn't help feeling worried for Qin Shi.
"So it turns out that he has come in contact with the second Lightning Tribulation Mark."
Qin Shi came to a sudden understanding in his heart. He immediately curled his finger in a calm manner and said with a smile, "Three moves. If you can receive three moves from me, I will consider it your victory in this match!"
"Three moves?
What? "
Not only Yan Feng, but many of the Elders beside him also frowned. "Isn't his words a little too arrogant? Although this brat has some ability, Yan Feng has come in contact with the second layer of Lightning Tribulation. Furthermore, he has also cultivated a Pinnacle Rank 6 Martial Art, Ashen Flame Purgatory. It's impossible to defeat him in three moves."
"Haha, hahaha, three moves?
Shi Qin, you're still so arrogant! "
Xue Bin laughed mockingly, but he did not refuse. He only wanted to humiliate Qin Shi. Thus, he turned around and roared at the crowd, "You all heard it. He said that he only needs three moves to consider it his loss."
Yun Yu and the other girls clenched their fists as they glared at Yan Feng. Shortly after, they couldn't help looking at Qin Shi anxiously.
Sensing the gazes of Yun Yu and the rest, Qin Shi bitterly smiled and flipped his hand, "Let's begin."
Yan Feng's expression turned serious. Although he was arrogant, he was filled with fear for Qin Shi. Even now, he couldn't forget how Qin Shi stood out from the Ashen Flame Purgatory's attack and sent him flying with a single palm strike.
At the very beginning, Yan Feng used his full strength. He raised his hands above his head and gathered a torrential flame.
"Ashen Flame Purgatory!"
The ferocious demon surged out from the flame and pounced at Qin Shi.
The strong wind surged. Qin Shi stood where he was, smiling faintly without dodging or dodging. Only when the fist that was the size of a jar was about to reach his face did he pull out his hand from behind his back and said softly, "One move!"
Boom!
The first three layers of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art circulated. His fist was covered in golden scales and a layer of bone as it soared into the sky.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the Elders froze. Tai Qing said, "He can't be thinking of fighting the Ashen Flame Purgatory head-on, right?"
Bang!
With a loud bang, the Scarlet Flame Demon and Qin Shi's fist collided. Then, the Scarlet Flame Demon's body froze, as if it was nailed to the ground. No matter how Yan Feng roared, it wouldn't listen to him.
Crack!
A clear sound rang out as a crack appeared between the fingers of the Scarlet Flame Evil Demon's large arm. Immediately, it shattered into dust that covered the ground.
Tai Qing and the others widened their eyes. "What a terrifying physical body. And this strength … Peak Cryptic Spirit Realm?
So, he's also improved? "
"Haha, no wonder he dared to challenge Yan Feng. What an interesting kid. I remember that when he first came, he was only at the Mid Cryptic Spirit Realm. No wonder Hall Master Hua Ling thinks so highly of him." Tai Qing nodded in agreement.
Whoosh!
Qin Shi moved, leaving behind a series of afterimages. After three steps, he shattered the Scarlet Flame Demon's body. He shouted, "Two moves!"
In the next instant, he had already leaped in front of Yan Feng. His palm seemed slow, but it twisted the surging wind and struck Yan Feng's chest. "Three moves!"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Feng was sent flying hundreds of meters away, rolling down the stage.
He fell to the ground. After a long time, his eyes widened. "How, how did this happen?
I clearly touched the second layer of the Lightning Tribulation Seal. How did I lose? "
This time, he was completely defeated.
