182: Chapter 182 Condensing Qi to Form a Beast!

Anya's voice carried a hint of softness, as if she were introducing a precious treasure from her own home.

"This is naturally fermented over many years in specific ancient tree hollows, made from a hundred types of early morning berries collected by Forest Spiritual Apes and dew touched by the first rays of sunlight. Its production is extremely rare."

"It has the effects of nourishing blood and qi, tempering the meridians, and slightly purifying true qi."

"It is a rare occasion for us to gather today. I offer this wine to everyone, wishing that the friendship between our two races remains forever green."

"Please."

"Princess Anya, please!"

Seeing this, the group of instructors below did not dare to delay and raised the exquisite wine glasses before them, which were also filled with the amber-gold liquid.

Even the instructors, who were usually solemn and serious, showed looks of curiosity and expectation in their eyes at this moment.

The specialty brews of the Elf Clan were not something one could easily taste.

"Cheers." Anya was the first to bring the glass to her lips, taking a light sip.

The instructors below also hurriedly raised their glasses and drank.

Upon entering the throat, the liquid immediately transformed into a gentle yet majestic heat current, instantly surging into every limb and bone!

*Boom!*

In an instant, the blood and qi fluctuations within the conference hall suddenly became intense!

The blood and qi within each instructor surged uncontrollably.

Strands of pure true qi involuntarily escaped from their bodies.

Above their heads or behind them, phantom images of various true qi beasts began to condense!

Behind one instructor, true qi condensed into the phantom of a male lion roaring at the sky, its fur burning like fire, emitting a violent and scorching aura.

Above another instructor's head, true qi transformed into a goshawk with sharp wings and eyes as piercing as lightning, creating blades of wind as it circled.

There were also true qi condensations of a Black Tortoise as heavy as a mountain, a giant python with hideous scales, and a Fierce Flood Dragon treading on waves...

For a moment, with snakes hissing and tigers roaring, eagles crying and tortoises bellowing, the small banquet hall seemed to have turned into a beast park.

These phantom images of exotic beasts, condensed from pure true qi, were each incredibly solid and lifelike.

They emitted a terrifying blood and qi pressure that made one's heart palpitate!

This was impressively one of the signature abilities of a Sixth-Rank Martial Artist—Condensing Qi into Beasts!

It allowed one to transform their true qi into fierce beasts for attack, possessing infinite power.

However, all these eye-catching true qi beasts paled in comparison to the phantom that quietly emerged behind Anya, appearing somewhat "petty."

It was not a fierce beast, but a hazy and sacred female phantom.

One could vaguely see her wearing a flower crown, holding a tender green branch, and dressed in a long skirt woven from starlight.

She just stood there quietly, and an endless sense of vitality, peace, and harmony spread out.

It was as if the will of the entire forest, or even a piece of the natural world, had condensed.

Before her, those ferocious and powerful beast phantoms instinctively restrained their auras, as if not daring to act presumptuously.

"What overbearing wine power!"

"My blood and qi... have actually become at least thirty percent more active! Even some subtle old injuries from years ago seem to be being repaired!"

"The circulation of true qi has become more harmonious. This effect... is too amazing!"

"As expected of an Elf Clan brew!"

"..."

After a brief moment of shock, the instructors one by one felt the positive changes occurring within their bodies, their faces showing pleasant surprise.

They quickly focused their minds, guiding the surging blood, qi, and medicinal power within them, and those true qi phenomena slowly dissipated.

After a good while, the blood and qi fluctuations in the hall finally settled down completely.

Many instructors had slightly flushed faces and sweat on their foreheads, but their eyes were brighter, and their auras seemed a bit more solid.

"Thank you, Princess Anya!"

This time, everyone's thanks were more sincere, even carrying a hint of gratitude.

Aside from the gratitude, many instructors couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.

The other party had offered such a generous gift, showing full sincerity, while they had just been making excuses regarding the "Hidden Dragon Assembly"...

Anya accepted it calmly and put down her wine glass, her noble temperament carrying a heart-stirring peace: "No need to be polite. Fine wine is given to friends; it is only right."

"Regardless of the outcome of the 'Hidden Dragon Assembly' or any future changes within the Elf Clan."

"I, Anya, personally, and the branch of the Elf Clan I represent, am willing to maintain a friendly alliance with the Human Race and the academies behind each of you."

Her clear gaze swept across everyone. "Since the official business has been temporarily concluded, everyone, please begin enjoying the meal. Consider it a small token of my appreciation for your coming to Modu."

She clapped her hands lightly, and the waiters, already standing by and dressed in elven-style clothing, entered in a single file.

They served various dishes and snacks with distinct Elf Clan characteristics, exquisite and full of spiritual energy. The atmosphere in the banquet hall finally turned relaxed.

...

The small friendship gathering downstairs slowly drew to a close around nine o'clock in the evening, amidst a still-enthusiastic atmosphere.

The young geniuses bid each other farewell. After an evening of interaction, many had set aside their rivalries from the arena, gaining more understanding and recognition of one another.

"Qin Yan, let's keep in touch! I look forward to our next match!"

"Student Qin Yan, I hope to have the chance to fight alongside you on the battlefield in the future!"

"Everyone from Modu University of Martial Arts, farewell!"

"..."

Qin Yan finished saying goodbye to the geniuses he knew or had just met.

Then he met up with Xiao Wangshu, Lu Youyou, Lu Qingfeng, Leng Feng, and the rest of the group from Modu University of Martial Arts.

Together, they left the Grand Court Hotel and returned to the school.

In the night, Modu's lights were as brilliant as the Milky Way hanging upside down.

The night breeze brushed against their faces, blowing away the noise and the scent of wine from the banquet.

The few of them walked along the quiet, tree-lined path of the campus, the atmosphere peaceful and harmonious.

After arriving at the Heaven-Rank Estate area, they parted ways at the fork in the road and returned to their respective residences.

Qin Yan returned to his familiar estate and closed the door, completely cutting off the noise of the outside world.

Without any delay, he quickly took a shower, changed into dry training clothes, and plunged into the third-floor training room to begin his practice.

The sound of the long spear dancing echoed in the training room.

Finally, before midnight, Qin Yan completed all of today's training content.

"Today, I completed the tempering progress for 2 skulls. The Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear has also advanced to 78%."

He calculated silently in his heart.

"At this rate, in about three more days, I'll be able to cultivate the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear' to the ninth revolution Perfection, completely mastering the essence of this body-tempering spear technique."

"By then, the efficiency of tempering the skulls should increase even further."

"Counting it this way, in six days at most."

"I will be able to complete the tempering of all 29 skulls and officially step into the second-rank perfection."

The goal was clear, and the path ahead was in sight.

Only strength is the foundation for dealing with everything and grasping the future.
