442: Chapter 442: The Master of the Zhang Family is a Quasi-Emperor

Seeing this, Chu Tian’s expression hardened. The opponent’s demeanor was too unexpected for him; he looked like a person who hadn't experienced a great battle, as if he wasn’t here to fight but rather to sightsee!

“Alas! It seems I can only stop here!”

Chu Tian sighed. He had witnessed the battle between Qin Xiao and Devil Heaven Dust; the latter had been completely suppressed by Qin Xiao throughout the fight, indicating Qin Xiao’s strength was far superior to Devil Heaven Dust’s.

He had already expended a great deal of effort to defeat Devil Heaven Dust, and now facing Qin Xiao, who was stronger than Devil Heaven Dust and in peak condition, he naturally had no hope of winning!

“Great Celebration Venerable, I am not in optimal condition right now and am not suitable for battle. Therefore, I concede this fight. We can compete again when there’s an Opportunity in the future!”

After thinking through these points, Chu Tian immediately spoke to Qin Xiao in a deep voice. He decisively gave up the fight, having a clear understanding of his own position!

On the other side, Qin Xiao was stunned when he heard Chu Tian’s words, a look of bewilderment on his face!

“No, aren’t you a Great Luck bearer? Aren’t you a peerless Prodigy? How can you concede directly without even making a move? What am I supposed to do now? I was still thinking of suppressing you and obtaining your Luck!”

Qin Xiao roared unwillingly in his heart. He had initially thought that meeting Chu Tian was a joyous occasion, that he would gain a significant amount of qi luck value, but who would have thought that at this crucial moment!

Chu Tian actually conceded, and this huge wave of qi luck value slipped away from him. How could he accept this?

No matter how unwilling Qin Xiao was, he couldn't change the final outcome. A white light flashed, and Chu Tian was immediately teleported away, disappearing from Qin Xiao’s sight!

Soon, only Qin Xiao was left alone on the arena, his eyes vacant and his face filled with a sense of loss.

The qi luck value that was almost in his grasp had escaped, making him feel extremely pained!

“This Chu Tian actually conceded. Is he perhaps afraid?”

When people outside saw Chu Tian concede, there was an immediate uproar!

They hadn't expected Chu Tian to concede without even making a single move, which was beyond their expectations!

“What kind of talk is that? Senior Brother Chu Tian just went through a major battle and is not in peak condition, while that Great Celebration Venerable is still in his prime. It would be very unfair for the two to fight. Conceding is the most correct choice. I support Senior Brother Chu Tian!”

The Heavenly God Academy students immediately retorted upon hearing the words of those around them.

“There’s no such thing as fairness or unfairness in this world. Losing is losing; no amount of excuses will make it useful!”

Someone nearby, hearing this, immediately muttered disdainfully!

In this world, what fairness is there to speak of? It is merely the strong being revered. Rules are also made by the strong, and the weak have no room for choice!

.........

These discussions did not reach Qin Xiao’s ears, nor did he much care about them!

After Chu Tian left, it took a while for him to emerge from his disappointment and unwillingness, returning to calmness, standing quietly in the arena, waiting for the next battle to begin!

However, this time he didn’t have to wait long. Soon, another white light enveloped him, teleporting him to another arena!

As the light dissipated, he immediately saw another figure, a figure he was very familiar with—Corpse God Child!

The moment he saw Corpse God Child, Qin Xiao was still very happy. Although he had lost one Great Luck bearer, meeting another one now was also a joyous occasion!

He hoped this one wouldn’t concede like Chu Tian, otherwise, he would suffer a huge loss!

“Great Celebration Venerable, my guess was indeed correct. You are indeed the greatest obstacle on my path to contend for the Great Emperor Legacy. To obtain the final Opportunity, there’s no way around you, no matter what!”

Although Corpse God Child was surprised to see Qin Xiao, there was no surprise on his face, as this had already been within his expectations!

Qin Xiao was the first among their ten to step into the Saint Realm. This talent was absolutely undeniable, and coupled with his acquisition of the flesh and blood holy fruit and eighty-plus years of secluded cultivation, this period was enough to bring about earth-shattering changes in his strength!

Martial Dao cultivation is like this: one step fast, every step fast. As long as no accidents occur, the leader will remain far ahead!

“Is that so? Then do you think you can defeat me?”

When Qin Xiao heard Corpse God Child say this, he immediately understood. The other party didn’t concede but instead spoke to him, which proved that the other party wanted to fight him, so he wasn’t worried about the other party escaping!

“I’m not sure about that. Can I win? Only by fighting will I know. Even if I lose, it’s merely a matter of being inferior in skill!”

Corpse God Child said calmly. Although the Legacy of Emperor Taixu was very important, and he very much wanted to obtain it!

However, if he couldn't obtain this Great Emperor Legacy because his strength was inferior, then he couldn't blame anyone else!

He was clear about these things and wouldn't be troubled by them. What was his would ultimately be his, and others couldn't snatch it away. What wasn't his would be useless no matter how hard he struggled!

“You’re quite open-minded!”

Qin Xiao slowly nodded upon hearing the other party’s words. Indeed, whether one could win, wouldn't one know after fighting?

If he lost, he could only blame himself for being inferior in strength!

“I am very curious, what kind of force could cultivate such an exceptionally talented person as Fellow Daoist! I haven’t even heard any news about it!”

Corpse God Child stared at Qin Xiao, a curious expression on his face. He hadn't received any information about Qin Xiao’s origins, nor did he know which force he came from.

He also didn't know the specific information about the other party, as if this Great Celebration Venerable had just popped out of a stone.

The Prodigies in the Great Emperor Dao Palace outside, hearing Corpse God Child’s question, also showed curious expressions.

This Great Celebration Venerable was too mysterious. None of them had heard of his specific background, and there were no traces of a great Sect or School on him!

Therefore, they were very curious. Such an existence must have an extraordinary origin. Could he be from some hidden School?

“Me? Fellow Daoist, you’re disappointed. I’m just from a small force; I’ve only reached this point through fortuitous Opportunity!”

Qin Xiao smiled faintly when he heard Corpse God Child’s question. He had never joined any major force and had only reached this point by relying on the System, so naturally, the other party hadn't heard of him!

“However, my master is indeed extraordinary, a top expert of this era, who has long since stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm!”

Qin Xiao then continued, “In life, identity and background are all made up, and one’s backing is all based on one’s words!”
