100% Confident

It was the truth. The top ten of the eight martial roll were all proud sons of heaven in Pingnan City.

He had already broken through to the fourth refinement, and his cultivation techniques, martial arts techniques, and battle experience far exceeded that of ordinary people.

As for Qin Huai’s reputation as a genius, which of the eight martial roll wasn’t a genius?

The thick smell of smoke filled the air in front of the city gate, but there were no sparks.

In response to Qin Huai’s provocation, Reihom simply said, “I hope you can give me some fun.” He casually ended the conversation and left on his horse.

Qin Huai left as well and followed Qi Yangbing into an inn.

After washing up, Qi Yangbing asked for a table full of delicious food to welcome Qin Huai.

Qin Huai gobbled up the food while Qi Yangbing looked at him with a pampering expression and drank a little wine.

“Why are you only eating vegetables? Eat meat! This is all demon meat. I, your senior brother, have spent a lot of money on it. Normally, I can’t even bear to eat a meal.”

“Senior Brother, I only ate meat in the mountains and didn’t eat any vegetables.” Qin Huai laughed bitterly, his mouth full of food.

When he was in the mountains, it was fine at first. As long as it was demon meat, he would stuff it into his mouth. However, things would be different after ten days or half a month.

But he was very picky. For those under the fourth refinement, he only ate the thickest muscle line of a thigh, which tasted the best and was the strongest.

Only after the fourth refinement would Qin Huai hug his legs and chest and take two bites. The latter wasn’t because he was extravagant, but because the demons behind him were hot on his heels. They allow Qin Huai to finish it all.

“It’s your Senior Brother who has been negligent…” Qi Yangbing joked for a while and then got to the point. “Although Reihom unexpectedly proposed to change the rules of the grand martial competition… After we enter the forest, it’s hard to say whether the people from the seven dojos will work together to get rid of you or Reihom first. So, you must not let your guard down.”

Qi Yangbing lectured him earnestly, “There’s one more thing. The top ten of the eight martial roll of honor are all fourth-refinement warriors who have been famous for a long time.

“They’re all the best among the younger generation of the major martial arts centers, so their understanding of martial arts and moves is not like those small fries you met before…”

Qin Huai only nodded as he listened to his senior brother’s long-winded speech.

After the meal, Qin Huai first went to the Luo manor to report that he was safe. Then, he took the wine from the four spies and left the city to return to his dojo.

He quickly climbed the mountain and entered the ancestral house.

The sage-like old man was still standing on the edge of the cliff as before. Compared to the dispirited Sun Yuanshan two months ago, he seemed to have returned to his peak.

“Master.” Qin Huai bowed respectfully.

“You’re back …” Sun Yuanshan turned around with a smile. His face was ruddy and his qi and blood were surging. It was as if he had never been injured.

“Master, do you have any elixirs?” Qin Huai jokingly said, “It’s only been a few days since we last met, but I feel like Master’s realm has improved again.

“Hahaha… It’s all thanks to the city lord’s efforts. A few days ago, we joined forces to go out of the city to fight the enemy and kill the demons. The city lord specially asked my grand-disciple to bring some secret medicine.

“I’ve finally made up for the qi and blood deficit from the previous battle. Even the internal injuries that have accumulated over the years seem to have healed a lot.”

Sun Yuanshan seemed to be reminiscing. He smacked his lips and continued, “The city lord’s mansion is really a local tyrant. I didn’t believe it before, but these days, the city lord’s mansion is so generous… I’m really surprised.”

Sun Yuanshan lectured him again seriously, “So in the future, when we meet those with official backgrounds, we should keep a low profile as much as possible and endure as much as you can. These families have a deep foundation and have been rooted in some places for hundreds of years. I don’t know how many old things he has in his hands…”

He said it out of emotion. The city lord’s mansion had spent a lot of gold and silver to buy horses, armor, and weapons at high prices.

“Did you know that the grand martial competition’s rules have been changed?”

“Senior Brother Qi has already told me about it.”

“That’s good… I’ve already prepared a foundation for you. You’ve done well in this matter with Reihom. He does have the domineering air of a heaven’s favorite.”

Even though they were enemies, Sun Yuanshan couldn’t help but praise Reihom.

“This person will be your greatest enemy! You have to be careful after entering the forest. Although you have a strong foundation, you can’t be careless.

“Reihom is in the fourth refinement, just like I am in the sixth refinement. No one in the same realm can stop him.” Sun Yuanshan continued to remind him. “No… From a certain perspective, that fellow’s invincibility in the same realm is more powerful.

“So, how confident are you?” Sun Yuanshan couldn’t help but ask.

“100%.” Qin Huai was indeed very confident.

“Good! Good!” Sun Yuanshan smiled and nodded. He could tell that Qin Huai had become stronger this time.

However, he could not tell how strong Qin Huai was now…

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Qin Huai and Sun Yuanshan entered the herb field together.

After another few hours of intense communication and discussion, Qin Huai walked out with his body ‘swollen’ in satisfaction.

He left two jars of wine behind and went to the blacksmith’s stall.

“Master Song, this is the new wine from the Drunken Immortal restaurant, winter fruit immortal wine…” Qin Huai sat beside Song Yinhe with a smile on his face.

Song Yinhe only glanced at Qin Huai. “Those who are unaccountably solicitous are either evil or thieves!”

“I…”

“Don’t speak! Go and forge an armor for me first. Whether it works or not depends on your craftsmanship.”

“Deal!” Qin Huai didn’t hesitate. He rolled up his sleeves and started to forge with the furnace. His advanced forging technique was already on par with Song Yinhe’s.

Song Yinhe nodded repeatedly at the sound of the iron hammer falling.
