603: Chapter 603 The Compass!!

Zhao Qingyun felt reassured upon seeing this and immediately said:

"Young Master Jiang has such high Qi/Blood, and he is a Special Grade Disciple of the Holy Land; his strength is unquestionable. In that case, should anyone have any objections to Young Master Jiang serving as the main operator of this Formation Plate?"

Although his words were a question, his tone already carried a hint of certainty.

"We have no objections!"

"We are completely convinced by Young Master Jiang taking the position!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Jiang is immensely powerful and is a Disciple of the Holy Land; no one is more suitable to be the main operator than him!"

The crowd of Martial Artists below echoed in agreement.

It was a joke to think otherwise; this was a prime opportunity to fight alongside and befriend a Special Grade Disciple of the Holy Land, so they naturally would not miss it.

Moreover, Jiang Yunyan's strength was clear to see. With 820,000 cards of base Qi/Blood, looking across all of Qingyun City, apart from those few Prodigies from the Holy Land, no one could compare.

Everyone was convinced by him acting as the main operator.

"Good, since everyone has no objections, then the main operator of the Formation will be—"

Before Zhao Qingyun could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice.

Qin Yan walked out from the ranks and came before everyone, saying calmly, "City Lord Zhao, I would also like to attempt taking the position of the main operator."

His voice was not loud, but it was clear and firm, sounding exceptionally loud in the quiet reception hall.

As soon as Qin Yan finished speaking, the entire room fell into silence.

Everyone's gaze focused on him, filled with surprise, doubt, disdain, and curiosity.

A Prodigy at Middle Sixth-Grade Qi Refining and Sixth-Rank Early Stage Body Refining actually dared to compete with Jiang Yunyan for the position of main operator? What right did he have?

Qin Yan, however, was completely unconcerned.

He had his own calculations in mind.

As long as he served as the main operator of the Formation, once they killed a large Vicious Beast, although he might not get all 3,000 taixuan points, the lion's share would definitely be his.

Getting around 2,000 taixuan points should be no problem.

2,000 taixuan points—this was private property!

2,000 taixuan points would allow him to exchange for quite a few resources.

With 2,000 taixuan points, as long as he could secure them, their team's entry into the top ten this time could be considered stable!

He had to seize this opportunity.

"Ah, this... Young Master Qin, your strength might not be as strong as Young Master Jiang Yunyan's."

Zhao Qingyun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

His gaze swept over Qin Yan—Middle Sixth-Grade Qi Refining, Sixth-Rank Early Stage Body Refining; no matter how he looked at it, he was not as good as Jiang Yunyan.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qin Yan chuckled.

After saying that—

The aura around his body erupted without reservation!

894,000 cards of Qi/Blood, like a flood breaking through a dam, swept towards the surroundings!

That immense Qi/Blood power caused the surrounding space to distort slightly!

Hiss—!

The surrounding Martial Artists felt the immense Qi/Blood on Qin Yan and all gasped in shock!

894,000 cards!

It was over 70,000 cards higher than Jiang Yunyan's 820,000 cards!

This Qin Yan, whom they deemed to have an "average Realm"—Middle Sixth-Grade Qi Refining, Sixth-Rank Early Stage Body Refining—actually had such profound foundations!

How could it be so terrifying?!

What kind of Cultivation Technique was this Holy Land Disciple named Qin Yan actually practicing?!

Not to mention them, even Yin Li, Huang Jiuli, Lin Ruoxi, and others were shocked by the base Qi/Blood Qin Yan displayed!

Yin Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was secretly astonished in her heart.

"Is this the might of a supreme-level Cultivation Technique?"

It was no longer a secret in the Taixuan Holy Land that Qin Yan was practicing the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

And they, these top Prodigies, had some understanding of the Five Elements Primordial Scripture—it was very powerful, but also very difficult to Cultivate!

When they were choosing their Cultivation Techniques back then, the elders in their Family had warned them.

If you do not have sufficiently strong Comprehension Ability, or a great many Five Elements Profound Truth, do not Cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Scripture!

For them, the True Emperor Families, obtaining some Five Elements Profound Truth was not a difficult task.

But the problem was that when they were at a low Realm, the amount of Profound Truth their bodies could contain was limited.

And the Five Elements Profound Truth consisted of five parts—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, each occupying one part. In this way, the Profound Truth they obtained for each element was even less.

And possessing these Profound Truths was not enough to successfully Cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Scripture.

Moreover, this Cultivation Technique had a hurdle at every Realm!

From Fourth-Grade to Fifth-Grade was one hurdle, and from Fifth-Grade to Sixth-Grade was another.

Every hurdle required a profound understanding of the Dao of Five Elements and required enormous effort.

The difficulty of Breakthrough was well known.

All things considered, even though they knew this Cultivation Technique was very powerful, they did not choose to Cultivate it.

The risk was too high.

If one happened to get stuck at a certain Realm and wasted years, the loss would outweigh the gain.

And this Qin Yan was simply bold because of his high skill.

Not only did he practice it, but he also Cultivated it to the Sixth-Grade level! It was simply inconceivable!

How exactly did he do it? How strong was his Comprehension Ability, exactly?

Zhao Qingyun did not know what to say for a moment.

He never expected that there would be a Prodigy like Qin Yan among the Special Grade Disciples!

This was completely inconsistent with his expectations.

According to his and Her Highness the Princess's thoughts, Jiang Yunyan should have been the strongest present, and then logically taken over the position of main operator.

But now, the situation was a bit unexpected.

"Qin Yan, I know you."

At this moment, Jiang Yunyan, who was on the side, spoke with a calm expression, his gaze fixed directly on Qin Yan.

"However, as far as I know, your spirit weapon is only a hundred-patterned spirit weapon, and your Spear Intent is only Third-Grade Nirvana Spear Intent. All in all, your Blood Burst should be about the same as mine."

He had information on Qin Yan in his hands, so he still knew some of the other party's background.

Qin Yan nodded upon hearing this and said calmly, "You are right."

He did not deny these facts.

A hundred-patterned spirit weapon and Third-Grade Spear Intent were indeed his current configuration.

But this did not mean that his combat power stopped there.

The surrounding Martial Artists saw this and did not dare to speak.

When gods fight, Mortals suffer.

They should just quietly keep a low profile.

At this time, Zhao Qingyun was communicating with Lin Ruoxi via sound transmission.

The two were communicating using Mental Energy; outsiders could not hear what they were saying, but they could see the changes in Zhao Qingyun's expression—sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding.

Finally, Zhao Qingyun coughed twice and said:

"The main operator of the Formation naturally must be the one with the strongest strength. Since the two Young Masters are evenly matched in strength, why don't you two have a simple sparring match?"

He paused and let his gaze sweep over the two.

"However, since there is a great enemy before us, I suggest that the two of you decide the winner in one move, how about it?"

Zhao Qingyun's suggestion was reasonable—it gave both of them a chance to compete fairly and avoided a long battle that would consume stamina and affect the defense against the Vicious Beast tide in the afternoon.
