Divine Son Competition! Qin Ming's Confidence!

"At last, I'd reached the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer..."

Qin Jiuge opened his eyes, a measure of satisfaction rising in his heart.

For the past two months, he had cultivated tirelessly day and night, finally breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer before the Divine Son Competition.

Now, with Twin Pupils and the Chaos Body bolstering him, even if his realm fell short of that First Sequence prodigy's, he was confident he could defeat him in battle.

Besides, his current realm might not necessarily be lower than that First Sequence genius's!

He truly had no idea how he could possibly lose this Divine Son Competition!

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Uncle Li's aged voice came from outside. "Young Master, the Vein Lord sent me to summon you. The Divine Son Competition is about to begin."

Hearing this, Qin Jiuge rose from the bed and waved a hand. A moon-white robe hanging from the clothes rack flew into his grasp.

After getting dressed, Qin Jiuge opened the door.

Outside, Qin Hai, Qin Ming, and several Elders had already been waiting for quite some time.

The instant they saw Qin Jiuge, their eyes widened.

That presence, that bearing... could it be...

Qin Ming was the first to react. Laughing heartily, he strode over to Qin Jiuge and fiercely hooked an arm around his shoulders.

"Hahahaha!"

"You broke through again! You should be at the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer now, right?"

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, Qin Hai and the several Elders stepped forward as well, congratulating Qin Jiuge.

"Young Master is heaven-blessed and extraordinarily talented. To break through once more in merely a few months is truly cause for celebration!"

"Indeed... Young Master possesses Twin Pupils and the Chaos Body, and now he has broken through to the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer. He is truly a peerless genius favored by the heavens... Our lineage is destined to flourish!"

Qin Hai's grizzled beard trembled with excitement, and his gaze at Qin Jiuge brimmed with gratification.

Their lineage had always been suppressed beyond all hope. Now that they finally had a chance to turn the tables, how could he not be delighted?

Qin Ming patted Qin Jiuge on the shoulder. "A Chaos Body at the Dharma Aspect Fourth Layer, with Twin Pupils to aid him—who else but my son could claim this Divine Son Trial?"

"Come, let's go to the training ground!"

With that, Qin Ming took the lead and strode toward the training ground.

Today was the day their lineage would turn over a new leaf!

Qin Family, training ground.

The entire training ground had been built atop a vast floating island.

The ground was paved with hard green stone, incomparably sturdy.

Around the training ground were the areas belonging to the various Qin Family lineages.

The Vein Lords of each lineage sat in the center, surrounded by the outstanding young talents of their respective branches.

Patriarch Qin Yu sat at the very center, as though stars surrounded the moon...

Qin Yu was the Vein Lord of the Qin Family's Second lineage.

Qin Sihan, the Qin Family's First Sequence prodigy, hailed from the Second lineage.

Beside Qin Yu sat four handsome young men dressed in brocade robes.

Drawing upon the original owner's memories, Qin Jiuge recognized them as the four major sequences among the Qin Family's younger generation, aside from himself.

His gaze was involuntarily drawn to a young man seated beside Qin Yu...

This young man appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He was tall and powerfully built, his water blue robe stretched so tightly it seemed ready to burst apart.

Even more astonishingly, his hair was an eerie fiery red.

As if sensing Qin Jiuge's gaze, the young man opened his eyes. A pair of blood red pupils fixed fiercely upon Qin Jiuge, like a savage beast!

The Qin Family's First Sequence among the younger generation—Qin Lang!

Qin Lang could be called the undisputed genius of the Qin Family's generation!

He had begun cultivating qi at the age of three and broken through the Qi Condensation realm at eleven, leaving all his competitors firmly in the dust.

Facing Qin Lang's gaze, Qin Jiuge showed no fear. Calm and composed, he returned the stare.

Their exchanged gazes drew the attention of quite a few clansmen.

Whispers drifted into everyone's ears...

"Qin Lang and Qin Jiuge have locked eyes! Has the clash between the First Sequence and Second Sequence already begun?"

"Qin Jiuge is a young genius too... Unfortunately, he ran into a monster like Qin Lang... In this Divine Son Competition, he will probably return with clipped wings..."

"Of course. Prince Qin Lang is the foremost genius among the Qin Family's younger generation. Not only has his cultivation reached the Dharma Aspect Second Layer, but he also possesses the Nine Dragon Divine Body! That is a Divine Body second only to the Chaos Body..."

Hearing their discussion, Qin Manyu and Su Xian'er secretly scoffed.

Nine Dragon Divine Body? Dharma Aspect Second Layer?

Compared to ordinary people, that could practically be called the configuration of a Celestial Faction member...

But compared with Qin Jiuge... they did not even know how far behind it fell!

Qin Jiuge possessed the Chaos Body and also bore Twin Pupils!

Either one of those miraculous constitutions could utterly crush the so-called Nine Dragon Divine Body!

Amid the clansmen's discussions, Qin Hai led Qin Jiuge down slowly, and they took their seats in the area belonging to their lineage.

When the surrounding clansmen saw Qin Jiuge, they could not help but feel somewhat surprised.

After merely a few months apart, Qin Jiuge's temperament seemed to have changed...

If the former Qin Jiuge had been like a sword with its edge fully exposed... then the current Qin Jiuge was like a divine sword sheathed in its scabbard...

The moment Qin Jiuge sat down, he sensed several wary gazes falling upon him.

Without even looking, he knew those gazes came from the other three major sequences besides Qin Lang.

Ignoring them, Qin Jiuge looked directly at Qin Lang.

At this moment, Qin Lang had already withdrawn his blazing battle intent from earlier. He sat calmly in his chair, seemingly lost in thought...

He really does have a bit of swagger... If I didn't have the system, you might actually have pulled off that act.

Qin Jiuge sneered inwardly.

Before the system awakened, with the original owner's cultivation, even after taking the Supreme Bone, he definitely would not have been Qin Lang's match.

But now... dealing with a mere Qin Lang, he could win with ease without even using his Twin Pupils!

"Brother Hai, who do you think will emerge victorious in this Divine Son Competition?"

Qin Guang, the Vein Lord of the Fourth lineage, smiled as he looked at Qin Hai and asked probingly.

"Is there even any need to ask? It will definitely be Qin Lang! At such a young age, he is already at the Dharma Aspect Second Layer and possesses the Nine Dragon Divine Body. Such fortune puts the rest of us to shame..."

Before Qin Hai could answer, another Vein Lord had already spoken up.

"Not necessarily..."

Qin Hai stroked his beard, wearing an unfathomable expression.

Seeing Qin Hai say this, the other clansmen were immediately intrigued.

Several questioning gazes turned toward Qin Jiuge beside him. "What, hmm? Could it be that your lineage has some hidden trump card?"

Qin Hai chuckled. "Once the competition begins, you'll find out."

Seeing that Qin Hai refused to say more, the other clansmen began complaining.

"Brother Hai, when did you learn to keep us in suspense?"

"Exactly, just say whatever it is!"
