Chen Xisai continued, "Precisely because of this, the military establishment in the Heavenly Realm greatly values the transcended beings from Pangu's Realm. People who are independent and unyielding are better suited for military service. For instance, among the four generals under Marshal Tota, three hail from Pangu's Realm, and countless mid- and lower-ranking officers are also drawn from there. What's more important is that they tend to stick together—when one of them is treated unfairly,..." Qin Feng's eyes widened. "Then doesn't that mean that if I beat up this guy, I'll have to go up against the entire Pangu Realm?" "Theoretically, yes," Chen Xisai nodded. "Ha ha, that's wonderful! Just arriving in the Heavenly Realm and immediately becoming an enemy—bro, that's exactly what I've been hoping for!" He exclaimed with delight. Chen Xisai was taken aback. "Are you sure? You're saying you actually enjoy being at odds with people? Qingya, are you certain this guy hasn't suffered any head injuries?" "The beautiful inspector replied, 'I'm certain he's born with this perspective—he believes people only progress through adversity. A life of excessive comfort inevitably leads to decline, gradually eroding their original passion and drive.' The rare handsome man nodded in sincere admiration, 'Impressive. I never thought Qin brother had such a well-developed theory at such a young age.' 'Thank you,' he smiled modestly, then asked, 'By the way, which of us do you think has a better chance of winning? Oh, I completely forgot the most important thing—I didn't even ask him his name. That's quite inappropriate of me. I'm not someone who's aloof or unpolite.' 'He didn't ask your name either,' said Qingya. 'He truly lacks manners,' the man said seriously. 'We're not the same kind of people. Rare handsome man, you haven't answered my question yet.' " "The rare handsome one stood from a fair perspective and said, 'He has an eight-out-of-ten chance of winning. Also, could you please not call me the rare handsome one?' 'So that means I only have a two-out-of-ten chance, is that right, rare handsome one?' he asked again. Chen Xi-Shuai shook his head: 'You actually have not even a one-out-of-ten chance. That two-out-of-ten possibility is simply that you two end up drawing. I've already said—don't call me the rare handsome one.' 'Understood, rare handsome one. Why do you think I have not even a one-out-of-ten chance?' 'You've slain a five-tiered fierce beast, which shows your prowess, yet you yourself nearly perished under the beast's claws. Compare that to the other one, who defeated a six-tiered fierce beast and came out completely unscathed—this already speaks volumes, doesn't it? I'll say it once more—don't call me the rare handsome one.' 'Your analysis makes sense, but it's a bit unrealistic. Can fighting fierce beasts be equated with competing against each other, rare handsome one?'" "Um…" Ultimately, Qin Shao couldn't convince Chen Xi-Shuai that he could defeat that guy. The only thing he managed to secure was solidifying the title of "Xi-Shuai." Much like Chen's early days as the "Peony Brother," Xi-Shuai had to accept the honor with a touch of resignation. Qingya, on the other hand, was quite confident—there were still six days until the match, and while six days might be mere moments for others, for Qin Feng, this very time frame offered ample opportunity to accomplish many things. "What's our next objective?" he asked. The beautiful Inspector glanced at the manual and replied, "Not much—just camp in areas where level-three beasts appear for five days or more. You can operate independently or form groups." "Heh, since we've all been so fortunate to meet, why not work together on this task?" suggested Xi-Shuai. "Then we'll take turns guarding the perimeter, while Qin Shao focuses on his training." ... Earth, the People's Republic of China, Qin Family Mansion. The young women are diligently refining their skills, having resigned from their previous jobs to embrace the legendary life of seclusion. The company need not worry—whether it's Hou Bao or the management from the European Kate family—both can fully shoulder its responsibilities. To achieve their shared ascension, they support one another, first upgrading the lower-ranked sisters, advancing together. Lin Caiwei is the busiest among them. Besides her own cultivation, she oversees the group's pill-making and refinement processes. The initial stock of thirty thousand Tianren Pills has now been completely consumed, yet the team still falls short of reaching the Yuan Sheng stage. Their early expectations were overly optimistic. Fortunately, the seedlings from Qin Group's nurseries and the herbs produced by the small dings are abundant; otherwise, raw material shortages would have significantly impacted production. Ling'er was the first to complete her cultivation tasks today. After opening her eyes and confirming that her sisters had not shown any signs of the "fire penetrating the essence" phenomenon, she murmured softly, "I wonder how my husband is faring in the heavenly realm." ... For the first three days, Qin Shao had spent every moment in cultivation—meditating and consuming one hundred and twenty pills of various medicinal herbs each day, making remarkable progress. On the fourth day, he stepped out of the camp and began making his way deep into the dense forest. His objective was to encounter a six-tiered fierce beast and test his skills; if he could defeat it easily, he was certain to win the match scheduled three days later. Soon, a splendid, spotted tiger came into view. In addition to the distinctive "King" character on its forehead, six distinct black spots were clearly visible. What was there to wait for? Off he went. Swoosh— one blow shattered the sky. Oooowww— the tiger king, whose territory had been invaded, was deeply displeased and leaped up, charging directly at the intruder. A swift, spiraling counterattack from the heavens. Thud… thud… thud… The Tiger King was completely unaccustomed to Qin Shao’s style, taking three blows right at the start—two to the head and one to the hindquarters. After being struck, it lost its balance mid-air and crashed to the ground, snapping numerous branches and trunks. Aahhh… As soon as it touched the ground, the Tiger King immediately rose, opening its mouth to expel two energy spheres. Boom… boom… Though Qin Shao skillfully dodged, the force of the shockwaves still lifted him. While still able to maintain his footing, he launched the Haotian Hammer and shouted, “Third technique—Bunlei Hammer Method.” The hammer flew straight toward the Tiger King. Having already suffered two setbacks, the Tiger King’s first reaction upon seeing the Haotian Hammer was to evade. Yet, as the hammer traveled, it suddenly changed direction and vanished. The Tiger King was slightly puzzled. Just then, a sharp sound of rushing air resonated from its head, and the previously vanished Haotian Hammer suddenly reappeared, swelling several times in size before plummeting from the sky. Thud… The Tiger King couldn’t dodge in time and took a blow to the forehead, instantly seeing stars and collapsing to the ground. Qin was thrilled. After retrieving his hammer, he delivered another strike—Heaven-Shattering Blow. Heaven-Shattering Blow. Heaven-Shattering Blow. Three consecutive blows, each landing squarely on the Tiger King’s head, leaving several terrifying dents. The Tiger King’s eyes rolled back and he expired.
