347: Qi Family Association

"He actually comprehended a trace of Ice Dao intent! Eh, there are even signs of a small amount of ice spiritual power in it?!" Long Yuan's Divine Sense was incredibly sharp, and he immediately sensed that Chu Qingxue's ice intent contained ice spiritual power. This meant she was also a Spiritual Power Seed. With her strength, she should be an extremely formidable existence within the Martial Master Realm, perhaps even having the ability to challenge those in higher Realms.

However, this level was nothing more than an ant to him, at most a slightly stronger one. Facing the Ice Arrow Mad Dragon, he still met it with a punch. The punch shadow was like a mountain, as if a world-propping Holy Elephant had stepped out from the void. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! Miserable cries rang out, and Chu Qingxue's figure quickly disappeared from the space... With a "poof," a delicate body crawled out of a certain independent cloud cabin, trembling. It was Chu Qingxue, who had just faced Long Yuan. Her face was pale, her whole body shook violently, and a trail of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. She looked incredibly weak and fragile... Although such virtual battles would not cause actual death, Chu Qingxue had just experienced the terrifying taste of death very clearly. This feeling was so horrifying that she didn't want to experience it again!

After gasping for breath for a long while, she suddenly snapped back to her senses and cried out in alarm, "I actually died at the hands of a Late-stage Martial Master?!!! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"

In reality, she even dared to challenge a Martial General. In the space, she had also won one victory after another, marching forward triumphantly. But now, the space told her that she had lost to a young junior at the Late-stage Martial Master level. How could she accept this?

"Long Yuan... Fengyang No. 1 High School... It seems I underestimated you, but I will definitely make you taste death as well!!!" Chu Qingxue's eyes narrowed, and she gritted her silver teeth as she spoke harshly.

At this moment, the challenge space was in an uproar. No one expected that Chu Qingxue, who had already won sixty-six consecutive matches in the Martial Master Realm level of the competition, would actually lose in a single move to Long Yuan, a middle school student at the Late-stage Martial Master level who was challenging across Realms. Chu Qingxue's move had been incredibly sharp, leaving many in awe, but Long Yuan had finished her off with a single punch without any effort. Such a result left not only ordinary Xuan Practitioners but even the big shots watching from behind the scenes dumbfounded and lost in thought!

One of the big shots from Yingtian Prefecture, who was also Chu Qingxue's Master at Yingtian Academy, Qi Wuxia, was stunned. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He had wanted to see Long Yuan's subsequent challenges, but he saw Long Yuan suddenly log off and not reappear for a long time. It seemed Long Yuan's challenges for tonight were over. Thus, after recording the battle process just now, he also left the space and returned to a large mansion of the Qi Family in Yingtian Prefecture.

Qi Wuxia was an Elder-level figure of the Qi Family with a Late Stage Martial General cultivation. He had previously participated in a Family meeting centered around whether the Qi Family should invest in Long Yuan's future. At that time, the Qi Family's Old Ancestor, Qi Xuming, had made the decision on the spot to invest in Long Yuan. Of course, this kind of investment would not be publicly announced but would be carried out indirectly so that outsiders would not easily notice.

Recently, after his eldest son, Qi Huaiyi, returned to the Qi Family, he revealed a piece of shocking information to the Family Elders: Long Yuan was a Spiritual Power Seed, and many Spiritual Power Seeds had already appeared in this world. The entire Blue Star world had been experiencing Spiritual Power Tides for several hundred years!

This news was earth-shattering, shaking the entire upper echelon of the Qi Family. Recently, they had been holding meetings almost continuously to discuss this issue. Qi Wuxia had also just taken some time to check on his Disciple Chu Qingxue's performance, only to happen to see the battle between Long Yuan and Chu Qingxue. The outcome of the battle was not beyond his expectations, but the process left him dumbfounded and in disbelief. Because Long Yuan was currently only a 16-year-old youth, yet he could finish off a super Genius like Chu Qingxue, who was at the Middle Stage Martial Ancestor level, with a single punch. This astonishing combat power was enough to trample all the elites of Yingtian Academy into the ground... Qi Wuxia hurried to the Family Elders' meeting and saw that everyone was still discussing heatedly. He spoke up, "Old Ancestor, I have the recording of the battle between Long Yuan and my Disciple Chu Qingxue in the virtual space. Would you like to take a look?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Qi Xuming's half-closed eyes suddenly snapped open as he nodded and said, "Good!"

Qi Wuxia projected the battle process onto a light screen. The intense and unexpected battle immediately caught everyone's attention. After watching, everyone was as still as wooden chickens, silent for a long time... Qi Wuxia sighed, "Old Ancestor, Xiao Xue's cultivation Realm is Middle Stage Martial Ancestor. Her combat power not only suppresses all the Martial Ancestors in Yingtian Academy but she can also challenge those at the Early Stage Martial General level. In the Cloud Challenge Competition, she has already achieved sixty-six consecutive victories, including five Early Stage Martial Generals. She can be called a super Genius! But with such strength, she was killed by Long Yuan in a single punch. Moreover, it seems Long Yuan hadn't even used his full strength. The mystery in this is truly difficult to understand!"

"Indeed!"

"If it were me fighting Qingxue, it wouldn't be this easy. I'm afraid it would take a fierce battle to take her down..."

"True. A super Genius like Chu Qingxue has already been identified as having the potential of a Martial Commander. In the future, there is a great possibility she will grow into a Martial Commander!"

"If she can become a Martial Commander, then what about Long Yuan?"

"This..."

Everyone discussed spiritedly and looked at Qi Xuming in unison.

Qi Xuming nodded slightly and said, "This result is not surprising, because Long Yuan's power has already far exceeded the Martial General Realm. I see that he already possesses the strength of a Martial Commander!!!"

"What?!!!" Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at each other in shock.

"Are you questioning my judgment?"

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare..."

"Old Ancestor has eyes like torches; he has never been wrong about people!"

"I also feel that Long Yuan's punch definitely has Martial Commander-level combat power. No wonder Chu Qingxue was sent flying by his punch!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Everyone chimed in... "Haha, good! A fine Young Martial Commander! It seems my judgment was not wrong. Long Yuan is very likely an anomaly; his appearance will change the entire landscape of the Great Ming..." Qi Xuming praised.

"Old Ancestor is wise!"

"Old Ancestor is decisive!"

"With Old Ancestor at the helm, our Qi Family will surely be able to brave the wind and waves and continue moving forward!"

"Old Ancestor..."

Qi Xuming waved his hand to quiet the room and said, "In the future, do not sing my praises. A Family meeting should not be my monologue. Otherwise, if I make a mistake, wouldn't it bury an unpardonable fault for the Family?! Wuxia, I want to ask a question. Chu Qingxue was actually able to defeat five Early Stage Martial Generals while at the Middle Stage Martial Ancestor Realm. Didn't you find that a bit surprising?"
