536: Chapter 536 Kid, you've been making quite a splash in the arena lately!

Looking at the 3 Meridians he had just opened in his body, Qin Yan took a deep breath.

Everything was ready; all that was missing was the final catalyst.

In just a few days, once these 4 Meridians in his body were all transformed into martial veins, he would be a Middle Stage Body Refining Martial Artist!

Four martial veins corresponded to the Middle Stage of Meridian Opening.

And during this process of transforming Meridians and nurturing martial veins, he didn't really need to worry much.

He could just leave it all to Xiao Hei!

Xiao Hei could replenish Devilish Qi at all times, allowing those Meridians to grow stronger day by day under the nourishment of the Devilish Qi.

However, there was a clear drawback to doing this.

And that was that in his blood demon martial veins, Devilish Qi would be dominant, and blood qi would be very weak!

Because during the nurturing process, Xiao Hei was supplying Devilish Qi most of the time, while his own blood qi didn't receive enough replenishment.

This resulted in the concentration of Devilish Qi in his blood demon martial veins being far higher than that of blood qi.

This led to his Body Refining Realm being somewhat unstable.

If he were to be seriously injured, his Realm might very well drop!

After all, his Foundation was unstable.

"It seems I'll have to find an opportunity in the future to replenish my blood qi first."

Qin Yan sighed.

This was a hidden danger on his path of Body Refining that he had to find a way to resolve.

In the future, when he had enough resources or the chance to go out, he definitely had to obtain more blood qi to make up for this deficiency.

Immediately after, Qin Yan began to Cultivate in the room once again.

It was now November 8th.

He had arrived at the Tiangang Arena on November 2nd, and seven days had passed since then.

And because of this, he had earned 35 taixuan points.

5 points a day, exactly 35 points for seven days.

He planned to accumulate more taixuan points and then return to the Holy Land's Spirit Mountain to Cultivate, breaking through to Fifth Grade Peak in one go!

With the Foundation of his Five Elements Primordial Scripture, once he broke through to Fifth Grade Peak, his qi and blood would surge tremendously.

Time passed slowly like this.

The battles in the arena were in full swing.

Every night, the spectator stands were packed, with cheers, shouts, and curses rising and falling one after another.

Batch after batch of challengers took the stage, and batch after batch of challengers fell.

Some won, some lost, some lived, and some died.

Qin Yan, on the other hand, focused on his Spear Technique training with peace of mind.

He seemed isolated from the outside world, immersed in his own Realm.

The long spear danced, shadows of the spear overlapping, as Nirvana Spear Intent circulated within the room.

His Nirvana Spear Intent grew steadily at a rate of 3% per day.

As for the Skill Points he obtained, they were all invested into the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

Not a single skill point earned from daily spear practice was left; they were all used to upgrade his Cultivation Technique.

Although the progress was slow, it was indeed growing.

Time quickly reached November 25th!

During this period, Qin Yan also went through three battles, but the opponents he encountered weren't very powerful.

The strongest one was only slightly stronger than Cang Yuan.

Qin Yan didn't even use the Five Elements Block; he defeated his opponent forcefully relying solely on the Blood Mist Domain!

Once the Blood Mist Domain was activated, the opponent's strength was suppressed by ten percent, and then he easily crushed them with the advantage of his Third-Grade Spear Intent.

And he placed bets on every single match.

However, his forceful performance when defeating Cang Yuan last time had caused his odds to drop significantly.

Therefore, the tiangang points he obtained from the three matches only amounted to 71.

Adding the previous 2.13 points, it was a total of 73.13 points.

Qin Yan didn't hold back either, exchanging all these tiangang points for meridian opening pills.

With 73 points, he exchanged for 14 meridian opening pills, spending 70 points and leaving 3.13 points.

With the help of these Medicinal Pills, Qin Yan successfully opened four more Meridians.

Fourteen meridian opening pills to open four Meridians; the efficiency was quite good.

Now, the total number of Meridians he had opened reached eight.

Four were opened previously, and four were opened this time.

To break through to the Late Stage of Body Refining, he needed to open fifteen Meridians and nurture all fifteen into martial veins!

Fifteen—he only had eight now, still seven short.

The road ahead was long and difficult.

Meanwhile, through these battles, the name of Qin Yan—the Special Grade Disciple of Taixuan Holy Land—gradually began to spread!

"Have you heard? A ruthless guy named Qin Yan has arrived at the Tiangang Arena; he's a Special Grade Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land!"

"I know, I know, it's that fifth rank late stage kid."

"I watched his match; he's so fierce! Once the Domain opens, the opponent is basically half-crippled!"

"This strength is definitely top-tier among those of the fifth rank!"

The news spread like wildfire, and Qin Yan's name began to circulate among the regulars of the Tiangang Arena.

...

Inside the VIP viewing room.

Qin Yan put away his long spear and said to Zhuer nearby:

"Zhuer, I'm leaving the arena for a bit today; I'll be back in the afternoon."

There were many benefits to becoming a Gold Medal Arena Defender.

But there were also drawbacks.

One of them was that every night, one had to stay in the room, always ready to face their own battles.

One could not leave their post without permission.

Once discovered, the first time would be a warning, the second a serious warning, and the third time would result in direct dismissal.

"Alright, Young Master."

Zhuer replied obediently.

Qin Yan nodded, turned to leave the room, and walked out of the Tiangang Arena.

The sunlight spilled down, and the streets were bustling with people, incredibly lively.

Qin Yan took a deep breath and walked toward the direction of the Taixuan Holy Land.

However, he didn't notice—

The moment he stepped out of the Tiangang Arena, a figure in the shadows was staring intently at him.

That figure was hidden in the shadows of a street corner, dressed in a black robe, their face obscured.

Watching Qin Yan's departing back, he murmured in a low voice:

"Qin Yan... has already left the Tiangang Arena."

After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared.

...

Qin Yan was walking on the path back to the Taixuan Holy Land.

When he came, this was the same road he had taken.

However—

Right at that moment, two figures suddenly appeared ahead of him!

Two black-robed people, one on the left and one on the right, blocked his path directly!

He stopped in his tracks and looked at the two figures with a wary gaze.

Both were wearing loose black robes, their hoods covering their faces, making it impossible to see their features.

Judging only by their silhouettes, one was a young man and the other was an old man.

The auras emanating from these two people were very powerful.

He couldn't tell what their Realms were!

However, he could feel that although the young Black-Robed Person on the right had a stronger aura than him, it was only slightly stronger, likely still within the fifth rank.

But the elderly Black-Robed Person on the left gave him an even more unfathomable feeling!

That aura was as deep as an abyss, like a bottomless ancient well, making it impossible to gauge its depth.

This Black-Robed Person was definitely at the sixth rank or even higher!

"Kid, you've been making quite a splash in the arena lately!"

That young Black-Robed Person spoke.
