98: Body Refinement Showdown

Standing beside Xue Yi, Qin Tian immediately spotted Yun Xi's figure.

"Revered Master, why are you here?"

Yun Xi flickered to his side. "I came to meet an old friend."

An old friend... Qin Tian followed her gaze and focused on the Woman in Red nearby.

Immediately, a surge of familiarity and warmth welled up in his heart.

"She is your aunt."

Yun Xi's voice transmission shook Qin Tian's soul.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

At the same time, after Qin Yu saw Qin Tian's appearance clearly, her body trembled violently.

Those brows... were incredibly familiar... they looked exactly like her deceased younger brother, Qin Zhan!

But... Qin Zhan had no children... Qin Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the unrealistic thought.

"You... are Qin Tian?"

"Junior Qin Tian greets Senior."

Clang! The long saber in Qin Yu's hand fell straight to the ground.

The voice and demeanor caused Qin Yu to lose herself in a daze for a moment.

"Who are your parents?"

Qin Yu was somewhat agitated.

"Tian'er's parents are just ordinary people who happen to also be surnamed Qin," Yun Xi explained aloud.

Qin Tian nodded slowly.

He still remembered Xue Wener's instructions; he could not tell anyone about their relationship.

Furthermore, there was a high possibility that a Longevity Family in the Imperial City was colluding with the Outlands, so he couldn't leak even a shred of information.

Hearing this, Qin Yu's eyes were filled with disappointment.

She gazed at Qin Tian, thinking of the deceased Qin Zhan, and a look of sorrow appeared on her face.

However, after a few breaths, everything vanished.

In the shadows, the young man who had been watching the scene smiled slightly.

"Xiao Yu doesn't seem to have sensed the Qin Family Bloodline within him. This is interesting."

"This kid has quite a few secrets."

「Xiao Yu, don't let this kid get away.」

An abrupt voice transmission echoed in Qin Yu's mind.

Qin Yu was startled.

This voice belonged to one of the ten Old Ancestors of the Qin Family, the Longevity Ancestor, Qin Longevity.

These Old Ancestors had long since reached a Realm above Heavenly Monarch and were the true backbone of the Imperial City.

They were also the Imperial City's final trump card.

They rarely concerned themselves with the daily trivialities of the Imperial City.

Now, the Longevity Ancestor had personally spoken up for this kid?

Qin Yu gave Qin Tian a deep look.

"Qin Tian, your Revered Master said you are very strong and that you personally killed a Quasi-Void King Beast."

"I want to see your strength."

Without any unnecessary words, Qin Yu spoke directly and to the point.

Qin Tian knew this was a test for him.

If he passed, he could go to the Tian Yuan Battlefield.

Since that guy named Xuan Xiao was the number one person in the Tongyou Realm of the Outlands, the chances of meeting him on the Tian Yuan Battlefield were not small.

If he really didn't encounter him, it wouldn't be too late to think of another way.

"Senior, this Junior is ready at any time."

Xue Yi's eyes moved slightly, just as she was about to speak.

But then she heard Qin Yu say, "Shi Jian, you go."

The young, burly man was stunned.

"Captain, he's only in the Tongyou Realm. Do you really want me to do it? I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my strength and might..."

"Go for it, big guy, I've got high hopes for you!" Xuan Qi smiled mischievously.

"Brother Xuan Qi, why do I feel like you're digging a hole for someone?" the Little Girl asked, somewhat confused.

"Is your Brother Xuan Qi that kind of person?"

"Yes..."

"..."

Qin Tian took a step forward. "Senior Shi Jian, please advise me."

Shi Jian was stunned for a moment. "Are you sure? My fists are very heavy."

"This Junior's aren't light either."

"Haha, interesting! Then I'm making my move!"

Shi Jian gave a loud shout, his blood Qi surging as his body's surface gradually emitted a bronze glow.

Clearly, Shi Jian also followed the path of Body Refining!

Qin Tian was somewhat excited.

A Body Cultivator at the Peak of the Guixu Realm was perfect for testing out the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body!

"Watch out!"

Shi Jian pushed off with both feet, disappearing from his spot at an incredible speed.

"Come!"

Qin Tian held his breath and focused.

Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body!

Activate!

Golden Qi and blood erupted, and Qin Tian's entire body burst with brilliant golden light!

Clang!

The hum of metal clashing was deafening!

Bricks shattered and dust flew everywhere.

A blurry figure was violently knocked back, staggering to the edge of the Restriction before barely steadying himself.

The scene fell into a dead silence.

As the dust settled, Shi Jian, who had been blasted to the edge of the Restriction, looked dazed. He stared blankly ahead and then at his own feet.

It was somewhat inconceivable... "Hahaha! Shi Jian, how did you end up over there?" Xuan Qi seemed to be gloating over his misfortune.

Beside him, the Little Girl's mouth hung open. She stared at Qin Tian for a good while before squeezing out three words, "Too freakish..."

Xue Yi remained expressionless, but a flicker of Battle Intent flashed in her eyes.

"Senior Shi Jian, thank you for holding back," Qin Tian said, deactivating his Indestructible Body and cupping his fists.

Shi Jian also retracted his Divine Ability and grinned. "Impressive, truly impressive!"

"With this physical strength, no wonder you could kill a Void Beast!"

"Even if I used my full strength, I might not necessarily gain the upper hand. Besides, you definitely didn't use your full strength either..."

"Captain, if we don't pull Brother Qin Tian into the team, I'll be the first to object!"

A strange light flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.

"Qin Tian, are you willing to join?"

"As a Silver-rank Abyssal Guard, you will have priority in all rights."

"And you only have to do one thing."

"Kill every member of the Foreign Races that you can!"

The corners of Qin Tian's lips curled up. "Senior, that is exactly why I came."

To the side, a steady man smiled and stepped forward. "Welcome to the team. I am Yan Que, Ninth Heaven of the Reflection Realm."

"Xuan Qi, Peak of the Guixu Realm."

"Heh heh, Shi Jian, Peak of the Guixu Realm."

"Xue Yi, Peak of the Guixu Realm."

"And me, me, me! Jiu Xiang, also at the Peak of the Guixu Realm!" The Little Girl jumped in front of Qin Tian and curiously pinched his skin.

Qin Tian smiled. "Qin Tian, just entered the Tongyou Realm."

...Shi Jian, Xue Yi, and Xuan Qi all fell into silence simultaneously.

"Hee hee, Brother Qin Tian, they've been shocked by you again..."

Brother?

"Jiu Xiang is seven years old this year; she's the youngest."

???

Qin Tian was stunned.

A seven-year-old at the Peak of the Guixu Realm?

What kind of Prodigy was this?

"Hee hee, Brother Qin Tian, don't be surprised. I was already in the Tongyou Realm when I was born!"

As expected, those below the Reflection Realm who could go to the Tian Yuan Battlefield were none of them simple.

Yun Xi smiled faintly. "Tian'er, I need to leave for a while. Remember to take care of yourself."

"Revered Master, where are you going?"

"To find your mother," Yun Xi sent via voice transmission. "She needs my help."

Qin Tian was slightly taken aback.

He immediately took off a storage ring, which was filled with supreme treasures obtained from the Forbidden Zone.

"Revered Master, take these. You and Mother must be careful."

Yun Xi hesitated slightly.

"Don't worry, Revered Master, I still have many more," Qin Tian continued his voice transmission.

Only then did Yun Xi take it. "Remember, be careful in everything."

"Revered Master, I understand."

Qin Yu looked at Qin Tian with a hint of expectation. "Qin Tian, starting today, we will begin special training for you."

"Within ten days, you must memorize all information regarding the young experts of the Outlands."

"In ten days, we set out for the Tian Yuan Battlefield."

"To find your own prey..."

Qin Tian nodded, filled with anticipation.

Xuan Xiao, oh Xuan Xiao.

You must be there!
