Ever since the incident with Ning Ya, all the higher-ups in the Azure Ancient City had shifted their attention to the cursed land. No one paid any attention to Qinchuan anymore. As a result, Qinchuan's life returned to normal.
Qinchuan also had another nickname in school — the man who escaped from the Demon King.
In the cultivation room in the dormitory, Qinchuan was cultivating with the help of the Spiritual Infusion Talisman Array and the Spiritual Reception Talisman Array. Lü Zi sat at the side and browsed through the optical computer. She seemed to have seen something special as she looked surprised.
At this moment, Qinchuan stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Lü Zi and asked curiously, "You look weird. What happened?"
"Look."
Lü Zi turned the optical computer to Qinchuan and said seriously, "This is the news from the Federation yesterday. Qin Haoxuan, the genius of the Qin Family, one of the four big families, held his Foundation Establishment Banquet yesterday. During his Foundation Establishment Banquet, his grandfather, the Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse Qin Chongxiao, appeared and gave a Dragon Soul to Qin Haoxuan as a gift. It shocked the world!"
Dragon Soul!
Qin Chongxiao!
Upon hearing these two keywords, Qin Chuan's expression couldn't help but turn solemn. He looked at Qin Haoxuan's photo that was displayed in the message. It was a handsome young man with a cold and arrogant expression.
It was obvious that Qin Haoxuan was the person that Azure Dragon Cang Hao wanted him to kill!
"We were at the Dragon Spirit Lake …" Lü Zi pursed her lips and said, "That Nascent Soul Stage cultivator should be Qin Chongxiao."
As the royal family of the Demon Clan, the Dragon Clan rarely appeared in the human world. Every Dragon Child was protected by a powerful Demon Clan cultivator. Even though Qin Chongxiao was a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he could forget about entering the Demon Clan's world to hunt for Dragon Children.
In addition, they had witnessed what happened at the Dragon Spirit Lake. Lü Zi naturally linked the mysterious Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to Qin Chongxiao.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. Just keep it to yourself."
Qinchuan did not intend to reveal the truth to Lü Zi. Some things, the fewer people who knew, the better.
"We can't afford to offend the Qin family."
Lü Zi stuck out her tongue and said, "However, this Qin Haoxuan is the same age as us. Yet, he is already in the Foundation Establishment Realm. As expected of the Qin Clan's genius."
"Yeah, he's already in the Foundation Establishment stage, and I'm only in the 12th level of the Qi Refining stage."
Qinchuan sighed helplessly. It would be very difficult for him to kill Qin Haoxuan.
"It doesn't matter. You are already very powerful. After all, Qin Haoxuan is backed by the Qin family, one of the four big aristocratic families. You have nothing. It is not easy for you to get to where you are today with your own efforts," Lü Zi encouraged Qinchuan and said, "I believe that you will surpass Qin Haoxuan sooner or later!"
"Thank you," Qinchuan smiled faintly. Then, he asked Lü Zi, "How's your study of the second level charm array coming along?"
Lü Zi was somewhat distressed when she heard this. She said to Qinchuan, "Unfortunately, I haven't completely comprehended the Shadow Body Charm Array yet."
"It seems that I can only participate in the examination of the second level charm array master by myself." Qinchuan stood up and said, "You cultivate slowly. I will leave first."
Now that Qin Haoxuan's strength was getting stronger and stronger, Qin Chuan couldn't continue to sit and wait for death. He had to work even harder in his cultivation, and participating in the second grade Talisman Array Master examination was something that couldn't be delayed.
Lü Zi watched Qinchuan's figure leave the cultivation room. Her expression became somewhat melancholic. She realized that Qinchuan seemed to have changed into a different person after he had experienced the beast tide. She could not understand him.
However, there was one thing that had not changed. And, that was his pursuit of power.
"Cultivate diligently!"
Lü Zi clenched her fists. She had to comprehend the Shadow Body Charm Array before the winter break!
… …
When Qinchuan arrived at the Blackmoon Combat Academy's office in the Elven City through the transfer array, the staff in the office looked at Qinchuan with strange gazes. After all, they were facing a young man who had escaped from a Daemon King with his Qi Condensation Stage strength!
"Deacons, can I trouble you to not look at me with such gazes?"
Qinchuan was somewhat embarrassed. The feeling of being looked at like a rare animal wherever he went was not very good.
"Hehe, student Qinchuan, you are now a big celebrity in our school."
The deacon in charge of the transfer array chuckled at Qinchuan and said, "With Teacher Ning's guidance, I believe that you will definitely have great achievements."
"Thank you."
Qinchuan thanked the deacon and then hurriedly left the office. He walked towards the Talisman Array Master's Guild branch in the Elven City according to the route in his memory.
The Talisman Array Master's Guild was the largest, most popular, and most influential guild in the Star Dragon Federation. Even though it was only a branch, it could be said to be rather luxurious and grand in both appearance and interior. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Talisman Array Master's Guild branch in the Elven City was absolutely the most imposing building in the entire Elven City.
It couldn't be helped. After all, the Talisman Array Master's Guild was rich.
Usually, there weren't many people coming and going from the Talisman Array Master's Guild. The Talisman Array Master's Guild would only be lively for a period of time when the Talisman Array Master's Guild exam was held every six months. At this moment, Qinchuan walked into the Talisman Array Master's Guild's hall and only saw a few dozen figures in the spacious hall. It could be said to be rather deserted.
"Sir, may I ask if you are a Talisman Array Master?"
Qinchuan had just entered and didn't even have the time to carefully size up the Talisman Array Master's Guild's hall when an enthusiastic staff member came up to greet him.
"I'm not a Talisman Array Master." Qinchuan shook his head and said, "I'm here to participate in the Talisman Array Master's exam."
The staff member faintly smiled when he heard this and said, "The Talisman Array Master's exam is held every six months. It's not the time for the exam yet. Sir, please come back when the exam time is up."
Qinchuan shook his head again and said, "I'm here to participate in the second rank Talisman Array Master's exam."
The first rank Talisman Array Master's exam needed to wait for a specific time, but the second rank and above didn't.
The staff member was somewhat surprised. The second rank Talisman Array Master's exam?
So young?
As if he had thought of something, the staff member curiously asked, "May I ask if sir is a student of the Blackmoon Combat Academy?"
"That's right. I'm a freshman at the Blackmoon Combat Academy. The Talisman Array Master's exam organized by the academy should be in a month, but I don't want to wait any longer."
Qinchuan asked the staff member, "I don't have a first rank Talisman Array Master's medal. Can I participate in the second rank Talisman Array Master's exam?"
"According to the rules, you naturally can't. However, as long as you show your Blackmoon Combat Academy's medal and prove your identity, and with a mentor's recommendation, you can skip the first rank Talisman Array Master's exam and directly participate in the second rank Talisman Array Master's exam.
This is a privilege that only official students of the Blackmoon Combat Academy have. "
"So it's like that."
Qinchuan had a pensive look on his face. It would be troublesome to go back and get a mentor's recommendation, so he might as well just ask Ning Ya to verify his identity through a video call.
