11: Chapter 11 Spirit Eyes and Divine Pupils

The competition on the arena continued as several more duels took place. The other Disciples of the Shen Family gave mediocre performances, winning one match and losing two, causing no real ripples of excitement.

Shen Qingyuan leaned back in his chair, bored out of his mind, and began his daily check-in.

"Check-in," he muttered silently in his heart.

"Ding! Today's check-in successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward—Spirit Eye Divine Pupil!"

A warm current of air instantly flooded into his eyes.

Shen Qingyuan felt as if his eyes were soaking in a hot spring; they were warm, tingly, and indescribably comfortable.

A moment later, he blinked.

The world before his eyes had changed.

The dense formation patterns on the arena, which were originally blurry lines, had become clearly visible.

He could see the direction of every line and the flow of spiritual energy at every node. He could even find the weak points of the formation patterns—as long as he targeted those specific nodes, this arena, which was claimed to be able to withstand a full-strength strike from the Dharma Image Realm, would collapse in an instant.

Shen Qingyuan marveled inwardly as his gaze swept across the crowd in the stands.

When his gaze passed over Wang Teng, he paused slightly.

On the surface, this kid was at the Peak of the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, but there was a subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy within his body that was more than a level stronger than what appeared on the outside.

Deeper still, within his Dantian, a ball of flame was faintly burning; that was the Origin power of the Crimson Sun Precious Body.

Around that flame, a faint, wispy black Qi lingered.

The corners of Shen Qingyuan's mouth curled up slightly—this was the poison Qingyue had planted.

Heh, Qingyue's poisoning techniques were becoming more and more sophisticated.

This poison remained dormant and was impossible for ordinary people to detect, but once it flared up...

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Patriarch Shen Tianze beside him.

On the surface, the Family Head was at the Peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Image Realm, but the trajectory of the spiritual energy circulating in his body was far more complex than that of the Dharma Image Realm.

He focused his concentration, a spiritual light flashing in his eyes, and the exquisite layer of disguise on Patriarch Shen Tianze was instantly pierced through.

Fourth level of the Primal Chaos Realm!

On the surface, Patriarch Shen Tianze only revealed the aura of the Peak ninth level of the Dharma Image Realm, but in reality, he was at the fourth level of the Primal Chaos Realm!

Faxiang, Void Tempering, Hunyuan—the Primal Chaos Realm was a Realm far above the Dharma Image Realm!

In present-day Guangnan City, aside from their Shen Family, the other Four Great Families didn't even have a single Void Tempering Cultivator.

Shen Qingyuan withdrew his gaze from Patriarch Shen Tianze and turned to look at the Third Elder and Sixth Elder beside him.

The Third Elder and Sixth Elder were the same.

On the surface, they were only at the fourth level of the Dharma Image Realm, but in reality, they were already at the first level of the Primal Chaos Realm!

Even Shen Quan, who was on the surface only at the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, had actually broken through to the first level of the Soul Fire Realm.

Shen Qingyuan had a peculiar expression; as expected of people from the old Shen Family.

Unfortunately, they hadn't quite learned the essence of it yet.

How could hiding just one Realm be enough? Look at his father, Patriarch Shen Tianze—he had hidden two entire major Realms!

After so many years in the Shen Family, Shen Qingyuan had already thoroughly grasped the Family's essence.

Laying low!

That's right, just laying low!

Back then, when he had used his check-ins to raise his cultivation all the way to the Void Tempering Realm, he had thought he was already the number one expert of the Shen Family.

But when he accidentally discovered Shen Yuanshan quietly slipping out of the Shen Family and killing a Void Tempering Cultivator in the Tiannan Mountains with just a few Moves, he realized that the people of the Shen Family hid themselves far too deeply.

He then turned his gaze toward the people of the other great families.

The head of the Wang Family, Wang Zhenshan, was at the sixth level of the Dharma Image Realm, but his aura was unstable, clearly showing that his injuries from last night hadn't healed yet.

As for the other three Family heads, their cultivation was much the same, all around the fifth or sixth level of the Dharma Image Realm.

As for the young Disciples of each Family, most were in the Meridian Opening Realm, with only a few having touched the threshold of the Soul Fire Realm.

After a rough scan, Shen Qingyuan leaned back against the chair again, returning to his lazy appearance.

The Spirit Eye Divine Pupil was indeed a good thing.

It could see through falsehoods and perceive the essence; any Move an enemy made would have nowhere to hide in his eyes.

However—he didn't need to fight anyone, so it didn't really matter.

At this moment, the announcer's voice rang out again—

"Next match: Wang Teng of the Wang Family versus Chen Xuanji of the Chen Family!"

The stands instantly erupted into a frenzy.

"It's here, it's here! Finally, we've reached this match!"

"Wang Teng versus Chen Xuanji! These are the two strongest of the younger generation!"

"Although Wang Teng was heavily injured by a single sword strike from Fairy Qingyue yesterday, that was because Fairy Qingyue is too strong; it doesn't mean he's weak!"

Countless people craned their necks, staring at the arena without blinking.

Wang Teng, the Wang Family's number one Prodigy, was at the Peak of the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm at seventeen, invincible among those in the same Realm!

Chen Xuanji, the most outstanding Disciple of the Chen Family's current generation, was eighteen and also at the Peak of the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm. He had already touched the threshold of the Soul Fire Realm, and his Mastery of the Azure Profound Sword Technique was superb!

The matchup between these two would definitely be spectacular!

Wang Teng stood up, a proud smile on his face, and strode toward the arena.

He glanced toward the Shen Family, his gaze lingering for a moment on Luo Qingyue beside Shen Qingyuan before quickly withdrawing it.

Today, he, Wang Teng, would let everyone know who was truly the number one person among the younger generation of Guangnan City.

As for that Shen Qingyuan—once he displayed his supreme talent, the Holy Lands would scramble to recruit him. At that time, a mere waste at the Meridian Opening Realm would be someone he could crush at will.

Wang Teng stepped onto the arena, standing with his hands behind his back, full of high spirits.
