230: Chapter 23 Discussion!

Her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, with exquisite features.

Her eyes were clear and bright, and with every glance, they seemed to hold a certain spirited charm that made her unforgettable.

At this moment, she held a long whip about nine sections in length, dark red in color with a metallic luster.

The whip hung naturally, appearing soft, yet it held a faint, sharp aura within.

In her hands, the long whip was like a living spirit snake.

At times, it was as fierce as a staff, sweeping out trails of afterimages;

At times, it was as flexible as a rope, coiling around and locking the opponent's weapon;

And at other times, it was uncanny and tricky, launching surprise attacks from inconceivable angles.

Her opponents, whether human or elf,

faced with this unpredictable Whip Technique that combined hardness and softness, often struggled to adapt and were soon swept off the arena stage by a single strike.

Qin Yan observed carefully for a moment, and a judgment had already formed in his heart.

This Su Liuli was definitely a super genius who was not inferior to him!

Her blood qi fluctuations were exceptionally vigorous, far exceeding an ordinary third grade late stage.

That was clearly... a foundation that could only be forged by breaking through limits twice!

Her Whip Technique was also extremely superb, clearly having stepped into the fourth-stage realm.

Her mastery of an exotic weapon like the whip had reached a considerable level of attainment.

What caught Qin Yan's attention even more was that despite the heavy whip shadows and fierce offensives in several intense battles, Su Liuli had never once revealed her "Whip Glow"!

This meant that her strength

was still being held back, and she hadn't given her all.

"A mysterious origin and unfathomable strength... To be personally recruited by Princess Anya, she is indeed extraordinary."

Qin Yan thought to himself, paying a bit more attention to this mysterious Su Liuli.

After watching for a while, Qin Yan didn't linger any longer.

He knew well that the victories and glory on the arena stage were, after all, only temporary.

The true test lay in the near future, within the peril-filled "Canglin Ancient Peak" where the prodigies of all races from the Eternal Song Star Realm would gather.

He turned and walked toward the direction of his own residence.

His back was straight and his steps were firm, as if he were leaving all the noise and attention behind him.

Leaving only the focus and persistence on the path to becoming stronger.

Upon returning to his residence, Qin Yan immediately consumed a drop of grandmaster true blood.

Now that his Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear had been cultivated to the eighth revolution, his efficiency in refining grandmaster true blood was significantly higher than before.

He immediately performed the Blood Refining Chapter of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear.

As the long spear danced, the drop of grandmaster true blood within his body was slowly refined.

The thick energy flowed through his body along with the spear's momentum, continuously tempering his blood qi and physique.

Inside the cultivation room, spear shadows were like dragons, and the strong winds howled.

Meanwhile, news of the clash in the Martial Arts Estate today had quietly spread inside and outside the palace.

"Have you heard? At the Martial Arts Estate arena today, that human named Qin Yan defeated Young Master Yun Chen with just one spear strike!"

"More than just Yun Chen! Young Master Di Chen went up later, and he was also sent flying by a single strike, injured even more severely than Yun Chen!"

"Is that true? Yun Chen and Di Chen are both top talents of our Xiguang City's younger generation, with third grade late stage strength!"

"It's absolutely true! Many people saw it with their own eyes. That Qin Yan's Spear Technique is simply terrifying, erupting with dozens of Spear Auras in an instant, its power is absolutely horrific!"

"The Human Prodigies... are they actually this powerful?"

Similar conversations were quietly circulating in the guards' quarters, among the maids' gossip, and even within the circles of young elven nobles.

Many elves, while marveling, couldn't help but gain a deeper understanding and a hint of wariness toward the human race, especially the martial strength of the nation known as Hua Country.

They were not frogs at the bottom of a well.

Through the information brought by Princess Anya, they knew that the humans of Blue Star were a massive and powerful race, and Hua Country was just one of several superpowers.

There were five other human nations on Blue Star as powerful as Hua Country!

Overall, the status of humans on Blue Star was similar to that of the Elf Clan in the Eternal Song Star Realm.

Both were among the undisputed overlord races of their respective worlds.

What put even more pressure on them was that the Human Prodigies who came this time were said to be only a portion of the elite among Hua Country's younger generation.

There were still many other geniuses who had not chosen to participate in the Hidden Dragon Assembly for various reasons.

This was enough to show the depth of the human race's heritage and the sheer size of their genius population.

However, the pride and confidence of the Elf Clan were not completely crushed by this.

After the brief shock, many elves quickly found their psychological balance.

"The true number one of our Xiguang City's younger generation, Heavenly Dust, has yet to make a move. He has been in seclusion for many days, and his strength is unfathomable."

"That's right, and the genius representatives from other territories under Princess Anya's command will also be arriving in Xiguang City one after another over the next few days.

By then, the young powerhouses gathered on our Elf Clan's side will definitely have the advantage in both quantity and overall quality."

"The Hidden Dragon Assembly is a grand event that brings together various forces from our Eternal Song Star Realm. Our clan produces many geniuses, and we will surely shine brilliantly in it."

The elves encouraged each other, their confidence rekindled.

They looked forward to Heavenly Dust emerging from seclusion, to the arrival of geniuses from other territories, and to showcasing the elegance of the Elf Clan's younger generation on a broader stage.

And all these noisy discussions had nothing to do with the figure in the training room, who was completely immersed in the world of self-improvement.

Qin Yan's heart was as calm as still water; he knew where his goal was and what he needed to do.

Night descended quietly, with stars dotting the clear night sky of Xiguang City.

In the training room, Qin Yan finished his last round of Spear Technique practice for the day.

The white steam rising around him slowly dissipated, and the blood-red luster faintly flowing under his skin gradually withdrew.

He could clearly feel that the essence of that drop of grandmaster true blood had been completely absorbed by him.

He walked to the window, looking out at the dark and quiet bamboo forest and the brilliant galaxy, relaxing for a moment.

Then, he called up the attribute panel that only he could see:

[Level: third grade late stage]

[Blood Refining: Boiling Blood Realm (Blood Qi Mist)]

[Blood Qi: 1265 Cal]

[spirit: 75 Hz]

[Martial Skill: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Blood Refining Chapter Eighth Revolution (9%)]

[Spear Technique: Fourth Stage (28%)]

[Alchemy Dao: First-Grade Alchemist (34%)]

(Second-Grade Alchemist: Unlocks at 7 Hz spirit)

[Skill Points: points]

[Remark: As long as you work hard, you will reap the rewards]

His gaze lingered on "Eighth Revolution (9%)" for a moment, and Qin Yan quickly calculated in his head.

"At the current rate of 4 Skill Points per day, it will take about twenty days to cultivate the Eighth Revolution to Perfection and break through to the Ninth Revolution."

He pondered slightly, "It seems that the next qualitative change at the martial skill level will indeed have to wait until after entering the Canglin Ancient Peak."

However, he did not feel disappointed.

Martial cultivation was never something that could be achieved overnight.

Improving one's strength required the accumulation of time, resources, and opportunities.

Being able to advance the Blood Refining Chapter to the eighth revolution and master the Triple Layered Aura before the assembly was already a harvest far exceeding expectations.

"Although Perfection will still take time, breaking through to the Third-Rank Peak before the assembly begins... should not be a big problem."

Qin Yan's eyes flashed with a confident light.
