Peerless Battle Spirit
Peerless Battle Spirit - Chapter 3: A Challenge Arrives

The following day, Qin Nan slowly awoke from his sleep. As he was about to rise up, he could not help but inhale deeply, as his brain was still experiencing a bloating pain. It was as if his brain would break with the slightest movement.

“That voice was so terrifying.”

Qin Nan’s face turned pale. It felt like the voice from yesterday had penetrated his soul, causing him to feel intimidated when he recollected the scene now.

“First things first, I shall take a look at this Divine Battle Spirit…”

Qin Nan soon collected his thoughts and proceeded to the open area outside his house. He sat down on the ground while wearing a nervous look. Although this Divine Battle Spirit was exceedingly mysterious, there was no guarantee what its rank was.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Nan slowly shut his eyes while his thoughts sunk into his body as he tried to communicate with his Martial Spirit.

Qin Nan could only see one yellow ray after another being emitted, which came to a stop when it reached six yellow rays.

In the midst of the yellow rays was a blurry human figure floating in mid-air in a standing position. It was as if a peerless emperor had descended, resulting in great pressure in one’s heart when looking at the figure.

Qin Nan was stunned after seeing this, “Is this… the Divine Battle Spirit?”

Following this, he was immersed in great joy.

This Divine Battle Spirit had certainly not let him down. Its rank was the sixth-grade Huang rank. Although it was still a great difference compared to his expectations, the ancient, abstruse, boundless aura being emitted from the Divine Battle Spirit served as a hint that this was not all of its power.

“Phew...I still have no idea what its capabilities are. Well, I shall try cultivating with it for now.” Qin Nan withheld the joy in his heart and calmed his thoughts, before he began communicating with the Divine Battle Spirit.

An astounding scene immediately took place. The human-figured Divine Battle Spirit sat down with its legs crossed on the ground, while a terrifying yet magical aura was emitted from its body.

The Qi in the surroundings instantly sprang toward Qin Nan’s figure, causing a faint mist to form around him.

“This…”

Qin Nan was utterly astonished. Such a cultivation speed was at least ten times faster than his first-grade Huang ranked Scarlet Flame Saber.

A sixth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit’s cultivation speed was not to be underestimated.

Qin Nan soon immersed his thoughts into the process of cultivation with his full focus as he continued to absorb the Qi of the Heavens and Earth through his Divine Battle Spirit.

As the Qi entered his body, it travelled around his meridians, producing a sound similar to the flow of a river.

Time gradually passed. Three hours later, Qin Nan’s eyes spra ng open as his body emitted a crackling sound similar to the sound of beans being stir-fried.

Within the past three hours, his cultivation had reached the first-layer Body Tempering Realm straight away!

“With the help of this Divine Battle Spirit, my dream of becoming an expert is no longer impossible.” Qin Nan clenched his fists while his eyes flickered with determination and anticipation.

The Canglan Continent was boundless. Linshui City—or even the Luohe Kingdom—was only the size of a chestnut floating on an ocean.

Qin Nan had already achieved the title of the top genius of Linshui City since he was young, therefore he had already set his aim high. One day, he would carry a saber on his back, hold a jar of alcohol in his hand, and roam across the continent freely, living an unrestricted life.

At that instant, a sound could be heard coming from the entrance of his residence, “Young Master, I’m here to deliver your allowance for the month.”

Following the voice, a maid entered carrying a plate. On it was placed a jade jar, from which a thick aura of Qi was being emitted.

Qin Nan was startled, but immediately recalled that today was the day the clan distributed the resources needed for cultivating.

The Qin Clan was one of the Two Great Clans of Linshui City, hence it went without saying that pursuing the path of cultivation was one of the clan’s focuses. As a result, the clan would distribute resources essential for cultivating to its disciples once every month.

Qin Nan received the jar and acknowledged for the maid to take her leave. He was left in awe after taking a peek inside the jar.

Within the jar were ten green shiny pills. A powerful aura of Qi could be sensed from them.

Without a doubt, Qin Nan was familiar with the pills. These were Body Tempering Pills, specifically used for the cultivation of the Body Tempering Realm!

That being said, these Body Tempering Pills were extremely valuable. Ordinary disciples would only be given a single Body Tempering Pill for the month, but Qin Nan had received ten of them.

“Father…” Qin Nan could feel his nose tingling. The news regarding him awakening a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit had surely been made known to the entire Linshui City—the genius had turned into trash.

Therefore, there was no way the elders of the clan would agree to give a piece of trash this many pills. The only explanation was that his father had abused his authority in order to get him the pills.

Qin Nan’s father, Qin Tian, was the Patriarch of the Qin Clan. No one would dare to disapprove of his decision to give Qin Nan ten Body Tempering Pills.

Even though Qin Tian knew his son Qin Nan had turned into a piece of trash, he still insisted on giving him ten Body Tempering Pills. This served as a sign that Qin Nan was still Qin Tian’s beloved son as always.

“Father, your child will never disappoint you… I shall make use of these pills to rank up to the second-layer of the Body Tempering Realm now!”

Qin Nan picked up a Body Tempering Pill and devoured it. He immediately sat down on the ground to absorb it.

However, at that instant, a strange occurrence took place. After the Body Tempering Pill was devoured into his body, not only did Qin Nan fail to absorb it, he could feel a magical absorption force inside his body thoroughly sucking the Qi of the Body Tempering Pill away.

Qin Nan was startled. What…What was going on?

He immediately took out a second Body Tempering Pill and gulped it down. However, the same thing happened again. The Qi of the pill was absorbed by an unknown force.

“Could...Could it be the Divine Battle Spirit?”

After a slight ponder, Qin Nan was able to come up with a possibility, and summoned the Divine Battle Spirit at once.

Following this, he devoured a third Body Tempering Pill. As he expected, a magical absorption force was emitted from the Divine Battle Spirit and devoured the pill.

“The Divine Battle Spirit is able to absorb the Qi of the pills?” Qin Nan was left in awe. He had never expected a Martial Spirit would be able to absorb the pills.

Such a thing was utterly ridiculous.

“Screw it, I will let it devour all the pills. I shall see what will happen to it!”

Qin Nan clenched his teeth. Since the cultivation speed of the Divine Battle Spirit was quite remarkable, there was no rush for him to rely on the pills in order to improve his cultivation. He quickly devoured all the pills into his body.

After devouring all the remaining pills, a shocking scene took place.

A seventh yellow ray was suddenly emitted from the giant human figure. At the same time, the imperious aura of the Divine Battle Spirit became even more terrifying!

“This is…”

Qin Nan’s face was filled with astonishment. The seventh yellow ray was the symbol of the seventh-grade Huang rank. In other words, the rank of the Martial Spirit had increased by a grade.

“This means… the Divine Battle Spirit is able to level up by consuming the pills!”

Qin Nan could not describe the shock in his heart with mere words. The capabilities of the Divine Battle Spirit had surpassed his imagination.

A Martial Spirit was the gift from the Heavens. Once a person’s Martial Spirit was awakened, it would accompany them for the rest of their life. That being said, Qin Nan had never heard of any Martial Spirit that could rank up.

If that’s the case, did that mean that the Divine Battle Spirit was able to rank up to the Xuan rank, the Di rank, or even the legendary Tian rank if there was enough pills?

A Tian ranked Martial Spirit, how terrifying would it be? Qin Nan could not even imagine it happening.

“Phew, calm down, calm down. I have to calm down.” Qin Nan took a few deep breaths to restrain the surging tide in his heart, forcing himself to calm his thoughts.

However, his eyes were filled with endless excitement.

When the Divine Battle Spirit was awakened, despite its rank of the sixth-grade Huang rank, Qin Nan could sense that there was something more to this Martial Spirit. He could not help but feel that the Divine Battle Spirit was stronger than the sixth-grade Huang rank.

Now, after learning that the Divine Battle Spirit was able to rank up, it was even more terrifying than a Xuan ranked or even a Di ranked Martial Spirit, as it possessed an unlimited potential!

...Meanwhile, as Qin Nan was immersed in excitement...

Following a loud explosion, the main entrance of Qin Nan’s residence was shattered into pieces.

A scornful voice could be heard immediately after, “Qin Nan, get your ass over here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ungrateful!”

The person wore a luxurious robe and a prideful face. Behind him, a fivefoot long sword floated in mid-air while emitting three yellow rays. It was accompanied by asharp icy aura.

Qin Nan’s expression grew cold after seeing him, “Qin Xiao, what are you doing here?”
