That's How Confident I Am

"The transformation from snake to dragon requires a bloodbath, but this is an elevation of life level, New Life through tribulation, its power is unparalleled." Qin Ming thought of the many wonders of the <Dragon Snake Scripture>, feeling as if a hundred claws were scratching at his heart, he was very concerned.

He felt that the current situation was perfect for practicing the Dragon Snake Scripture. "Brother, have you mastered the Golden Cicada Scripture?" Wu Yaozu asked in surprise.

He was suspicious. Was Ming Ge changing scriptures so soon? Was he fickle, or was his training efficiency frighteningly high?! "He's already mastered them, and even perfected them? That's not too bad," Tang Jin said.

Ling Yu knew that Senior Sister Tang had very high expectations of him, so this kind of praise was already quite remarkable. He realized that this time he might be able to challenge the young men from Black White Mountain!

As expected, Tang Jin, dressed in all black, made a decision.

She turned around abruptly, her fair and delicate face flushed, and one side of her hair fluttered as she said, "Then get ready."

Ling Yu was thrilled; he had been holding back for days, waiting for this moment for a long time.

Tang Jin stood tall and graceful, taller than many men. She took a few steps around the room and said, "Don't embarrass me. Crow Master has been complaining that I didn't choose that person, and he even made a bet with me this time."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu clenched his fist, his fighting spirit instantly soaring. Crow Master actually didn't think highly of him? Then he would prove him wrong! The night was as deep as an abyss, yet someone stood high in the sky.

Sun Taichu stood atop the dark clouds, his hands clasped behind his back, and said, "The winds and clouds rise from the sky, Dragon Snake Rising from Land. Kun Jun growing increasingly chaotic; forces from all sides have arrived, and that plateau will be stained red with blood."

This was his Pure Yang Consciousness Spirit Light, no longer as dazzling as the Scorching Sun, but now identical to his true form. He strolled through the dark clouds. He turned back and asked, "Will Cao Qianqiu come?"

Pu Heng followed behind and replied, "My teacher will be there soon."

In Kun Jun City today, people flock here every day, all craving the Auspicious Beast Blood; even the founder of a sect is eyeing it. That plateau has been sealed off, and the Auspicious Beast, as large as a mountain, has long been targeted.

However, it was not alone. It called on its friends and sent out strange birds to ask for help from other places, and even wanted to kill everyone near Kun Jun.

Recently, some unpredictable demons have appeared, making the plateau outside the Third Forbidden Land increasingly dangerous. Terrifying demonic winds often howl through the night, stirring up clouds and mist.

A burly young man entered Kun Jun City. His hands were as big as palm fans, his legs were as thick as pillars, his head was as big as a basin, his black hair was as hard as steel needles, and he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide mouth, and a square nose.

He was so tall and had such an unusual appearance that he looked like an "Otherworlder"!

In fact, even if Otherworlder stood before him, it wouldn't seem extraordinary enough, for he was none other than Xiang Yiwu, the Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple of Xiang Yiwu, who also appeared here.

"Huh?!" Li Qingxu spotted him from a distant tower.

Feeling Xiang Yiwu suddenly turned around, gazing at the area with the tall towers in the Flying Immortal Institute's territory, grinning broadly, completely unconcerned.

Being spied on.

"Should we go and deal with him?" a middle-aged man next to Li Qingxu asked.

Li Qingxu's expression wasn't very good. He recalled Tathagata's Abandoned Disciple with a stick, only to be slapped back twice, causing him to cough up blood.

The key point is that the two are of similar age, but the other party is New Life Evolver, after reaching the Outer Saint Domain, has not fallen behind him in terms of cultivation level, which is quite astonishing!

"Don't act rashly." Li Qingxu shook his head. Everyone said that this was someone the Tathagata Lineage had abandoned, and he was almost a discarded disciple.

Some analysts believe that this person is likely one of the most valued individuals by the older generation of that faction, and if harmed through underhanded means, the perpetrators might have to repay the debt tenfold.

Similar things have happened before.

That was five hundred years ago, which prompted the Present Tathagata to take action and defeat many people.

"Cousin, are you telling the truth? While I was in seclusion, my brother Qin Ming has mysteriously risen to prominence; he's very strong now."

"What?" Ning Siqi asked suspiciously.

He always wears white and has a mild case of mysophobia, and he also came to Kun Jun.

While many people avoided Qin Ming and distanced themselves from him, Ning Siqi traveled thousands of miles to deliver the invaluable "Li Fire Scripture" to him.

"Only a few people know this," Wang Caiwei nodded.

She then sighed, "It's a pity he chose the New Life Path; his cultivation speed will slow down drastically later on, and he won't be able to keep up with the group. Otherwise, judging from his previous performance, he might have been able to fight against Near Immortal Seed if they were at the same cultivation level."

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it." Ning Siqi sighed. The New Life Path has serious problems, a reality that no one can change, not even the Ancestor can solve it.

He then added, "I only hope that he can eventually become Grandmaster Level figure."

Wang Caiwei, dressed in black, said, "I don't know if he'll appear here, but this area is too dangerous for him."

Ning Siqi sighed, "I haven't seen him in a long time. I don't know when the brothers will be able to reunite." This time, all the young men from the Immortal Path and the Secret Sect Path who had some background came.

For example, Zheng Maoze and Zeng Yuan also appeared.

The two were uncertain; the past few months had been truly bizarre. Every time they went to explore the fortuitous opportunity for opportunities, they would inexplicably get beaten up, with broken bones and tendons. Surely this time it wouldn't be like that?

"Brother, we've already entered four universities," Wu Yaozu said, skeptical. Was it really necessary to continue?

"Okay!" Qin Ming nodded and said, "We'll register first, take the assessment, but we might not actually join in the end."

It's registration season now, and school hasn't officially started yet. Qin Ming is eager to make Extraordinary Art at various universities, so he'll naturally visit them all to gain a formal status.

Jin Xiang, pulling the nanmu cart, ran ahead and said, "My two junior brothers, you two really have guts. Back in our Old Sheep, we didn't have any students like you. Are you going to have your names listed at every university?"

This Senior Brother from the Mountain River Academy had a brilliant golden coat and was very talkative. He had been chartered a car today and was giving the two of them advice on the way, informing them of the advantages and disadvantages of various Daoist temples and academies.

In the end, Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu passed the tests of six institutions, including the Origin Academy and the Dragon Elephant Dojo, before their journey temporarily came to a halt.

Qin Ming had learned that these six families were very wealthy and had accumulated a series of famous Extraordinary Art, which piqued his interest.

Little Wu was quite satisfied, but he still needed Extraordinary Art. The main problem on his path to Rainbow Transformation was that he viewed his body as a prison and ultimately had to abandon his physical form. Right now, he was actively training his physical body.

"Junior, call me again next time you need a ride, I'll give you a discount." Jin Xiang turned and left, having persevered for twenty years on the Mortal World Heart-Refining Path.

"Senior Brother, we await your rise in the mortal world, and your eventual ascension to godhood." Little Wu waved.

Jin Xiang shook his head and said, "Alas, how difficult it is to Mortal World Heart Tempering in the mortal world. My first step was to destroy the one I longed for." Little Wu said, "Ah, you killed her?"

"No, I'm Heart Refinement. She got married." Jin Xiang left, his breath carrying the dust and grime of the city. Qin Ming and Little Wu had just returned to their residence at the Mountain River Academy when someone came looking for them.

"Are you Shen Wubing?" This was a senior student at the academy, who seemed quite famous; his name was Tang Jun. "Yes, it's me. What's wrong?" Qin Ming asked.

Tang Jun smiled and said, "It's like this, there are some exchange events in the academy that may require sparring or competition, and the winners can receive Day Gold. I wonder if you two would like to participate?"

"How many Day Gold do you win in one game?" Little Wu became interested because Ming Ge spent money like water. He had only studied a few pages of the "Golden Cicada Scripture" and had already spent six hundred Day Gold. He would soon be bankrupt again.

"Ten Day Gold," Tang Jun said.

Little Wu was very happy and was just about to say, "Arrange a hundred matches for me if we're at the same cultivation level!"

However, seeing that Ming Ge remained unmoved and sat there calmly, he also quieted down. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We don't know you. Why have you come to our door? Who asked you to do this? Could it be some old nemesis you defeated?"

He felt he had connected the dots to the truth and said, "Have them prepare a thousand..."

Little Wu stopped, looked at Qin Ming, and asked, "Brother, how much should we ask them to prepare? Two thousand Day Gold?" Qin Ming shook his head and said, "We won't compete with them."

Little Wu immediately understood and said, "That's right, we won't participate. You can leave now. Who do you think you are? Ten Day Gold right off the bat, it's infuriating!"

Tang Jun's expression changed slightly. He had thought one of the boys was quite naive, but upon discovering that he was improving at a visible speed, he began to look down on him.

He quickly said, "Junior brothers, don't misunderstand, let's have a proper talk." Neither of them paid him any attention.

Tang Jun said, "My two junior brothers, I swear I will never profit from the difference. I was truly entrusted with this task. I apologize for what happened earlier."

Wu Yaozu said, "Even if the person in question comes, we might not agree."

Tang Jun discovered that the two were quite composed; they had gone to the lake to fish for Dragon Carp, a blatant violation of the rules, and they weren't even afraid of him reporting them.

Finally, he had no choice but to turn and leave, telling the person in charge the result. Ling Yu came in person and got straight to the point, wanting to have a fight with Qin Ming.

Wu Yaozu glanced at him and said, "Why should my brother fight you? You're already a defeated opponent, and you'll carry that defeat for the rest of your life."

Ling Yu had been calm, but upon hearing this, his chest tightened, and he retorted, "That was a sneak attack, I didn't lose."

"You can go now!" Little Wu waved his hand.

"How about a fight with a thousand Day Gold?" Ling Yu already knew from Tang Jun that the two of them were in great need of Day Gold.

Little Wu said, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? My brother earned over a thousand Day Gold last time with just one strike. Does he only need to strike once this time too?"

Ling Yu's forehead veins were practically bulging. He wanted to say, "Is that the Day Gold you earned? You stole it from my arms!" At the same time, he felt a throbbing pain in the back of his head.

He believed that this seemingly simple boy was not simple at all!

He realized what was going on. This guy said he wouldn't fight him, but every word he said was provocative—the talk of defeat, the talk of a slap—was he trying to extort money?

"What exactly do you want?" Ling Yu asked in a deep voice.

Little Wu said, "My brother lacks Extraordinary Art and needs a copy of the Dragon Snake Scripture. I'm cultivating my health and need a secret scripture that allows the body to control the soul. Besides, we're short on money; we already owe ten thousand Day Gold. You understand?"

Ling Yu clenched his fists, wanting to rush over and fight them directly, because this was truly an outrageous demand!

Wu Yaozu waved his hand and said, "Don't be unconvinced, I'll settle the score for you. You fought Xin Youdao in front of everyone, didn't you get a lot of bonuses? You're hailed as the Young Ancestor, but you and Xin Youdao were both defeated by me and my brother. If my brother and I were exposed and went out to fight, how much bonus do you think we'd get?"

"I didn't lose!" Ling Yu corrected.

"Then go ahead and carry this burden forever." Little Wu cast her line and continued fishing, ignoring him.

Ling Yu turned and left because these two guys were asking for too much money, too exorbitant a price, and he couldn't make the decision for them. But he really wanted to fight them.

Finally, Tang Jin appeared, dressed in black, graceful and elegant, her black hair fluttering in the wind, her delicate and flawless oval face exuding a captivating and aloof beauty.

Because Lu Zizai had given prior notice, Qin Ming was not afraid even though he knew she had discovered who he was and understood that she was extremely powerful.

"Miss Tang, we meet again." Qin Ming put down his fishing rod, smiled, and stood up.

"Who would have thought that such a gentle and refined young man would be so greedy?" Tang Jin was tall and slender, with a graceful gait.

Qin Ming remained calm. Since he had already revealed himself to her, he naturally wouldn't keep a low profile anymore, saying, "Actually, my brother asks for too little; he's too simple-minded."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu clenched his fists. This was supposed to be simple and honest?!

Qin Ming had his own assessment. The Young Ancestor was now the center of attention, and would receive a large share of the profits. How could his investment be too small? Tang Jin calmly asked, "Since you're willing to place such a large bet, what can you offer if you lose?"

"Two Extraordinary Art!" Qin Ming said.

Tang Jin smiled through her cold elegance, the frost instantly thawing to reveal a radiant smile, and said, "Very confident."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I've always been confident. Actually, I'd like to spar with Miss Tang in the First Realm. Is that alright?"

(There's more to come!)
