The news that Qin Yu had lost the Imperial Guard Order stirred the entire royal capital into turmoil. Although the Three Great Sects did not openly reveal their stance, observant people noticed that the Purple Light Sect had been interacting with Qin Yu less and less.
Meanwhile, Qin Jun, the culprit behind it all, stayed in the imperial palace every day practicing his spearwork. Under Guan Yu's guidance, his spear skills improved by leaps and bounds, while his Purple Rainbow Lightning Method faintly showed signs of breaking through to the second level.
The Purple Rainbow Lightning Method had six levels in total, each with its own spell. He had already thoroughly mastered Palm Thunder from the first level, but Palm Thunder was a close-combat spell. Now that he possessed the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear, its power would likely be difficult to bring out.
Over the next week, Qin Jun rarely left the imperial palace, devoting himself entirely to spear practice. Nan Yu Xin came to see him once during that time, but seeing how diligently he trained, she felt too embarrassed to continue disturbing him and left. As for Chang Qianqian, she could not enter the imperial palace at all.
After a week of training, Qin Jun had undergone a complete transformation. Though his spearwork was not especially exquisite, wielding the Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear was no longer as difficult as before. He was also confident he could fight cultivators at the same level.
