Spiritual Sense Manifests, Showing Initial Might

Yuan Shanhu's mind went blank. He looked at Qin Haoxuan, who acted as if nothing had happened, and felt as if he had seen a ghost. Unmistakable terror flickered in his eyes.

Qin Haoxuan took a few steps forward. Feeling the heat return to his body, he said to Yuan Shanhu, "Come on, again. Just like that punch earlier, it felt pretty good!"

Yuan Shanhu turned deathly pale with fright and retreated repeatedly, shouting, "Don't... don't come near me... If you come any closer, I won't be polite anymore..."

Qin Haoxuan's phantom-like performance completely shattered his psychological defenses. He had joined the Taichu Sect twenty-five years ago and had never seen a mere mortal, who had only been cultivating for two days, withstand so many Spiritual Law attacks from a third-leaf Immortal Seedling Realm cultivator without getting hurt. He hadn't just never seen it; he'd never even heard of such a thing!

If such a person wasn't exceptionally talented, they had to be a monster! Yes, a monster! Even some of those exceptionally talented Supreme Purple Seeds would have likely been reduced to unrecognizable remains by now.

Among the crowd, a proud and indifferent man with a full beard watched Qin Haoxuan. His usually calm face now held disbelief! A new disciple, who wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person, had actively sought to be beaten and had terrified a handyman cultivator who had been in the sect for over twenty years. This... this defied logic!

Yuan Shanhu had chickened out, and Qin Haoxuan was very unhappy. The old guy had been beating him for so long, and just when he was starting to enjoy it, he refused to continue! That wasn't being a good person! So, he advanced step by step, provoking them, all he wanted was a good beating to clear his head. If they didn't hit him, he would hit them. He wanted the handyman disciples of Spirit Field Valley, as well as Zhang Kuang and Li Jing, to know that he wasn't someone to be provoked lightly.

"Don't come any closer. We won't hold this against you today, just leave..." Zhang San and Li Si, who were allied with Yuan Shanhu, also began to feel timid. They knew they were no match for Yuan Shanhu. If Yuan Shanhu had collapsed before this monster, what hope did they have?

If it weren't for the fact that they were being watched by everyone, and that fleeing in the face of the enemy would make it impossible for them to hold their heads up in the future, they would have turned and run long ago.

Qin Haoxuan advanced a few more steps, bringing him only a few yards away from Yuan Shanhu and the others.

"Qin Haoxuan, you're pushing too hard! I'll fight you to the death!" Li Si finally lost his composure and lunged forward with a raised fist.

The situation took a sharp turn. Qin Haoxuan, fighting three opponents while being weaker, had actually gained the upper hand. This was an outcome no one had expected. Some lamented that Qin Haoxuan didn't know when to stop. Even if he could take a beating, what good would it do if he pushed Yuan Shanhu and the others too far? They wouldn't let him off easily.

Watching the three of them fight like cornered beasts, the onlookers once again broke out in a cold sweat for Qin Haoxuan.

"Brothers, let's fight him! Qin Haoxuan, if your Grandpa Yuan doesn't beat you until you beg for mercy today, then I'm your grandson!" Yuan Shanhu also threw caution to the wind, cursing, "Even if you have a body of steel, your Grandpa Yuan will tear you apart and crush you!"

Yuan Shanhu, Zhang San, and Li Si, now desperate, unleashed their strongest attacks. Disregarding the bad reputation of ganging up on someone, they all charged at Qin Haoxuan.

Yuan Shanhu calling himself "Grandpa Yuan" struck Qin Haoxuan as rather amusing. He looked at them like dogs that had been defeated in the village, running away with their tails between their legs while yelping. Unable to use any Spiritual Law and Dao Arts, he could only rely on close combat. At this moment, his calm and collected demeanor, usually reserved for facing fierce beasts, emerged. He wanted to find flaws in Yuan Shanhu and the others so that he might have a chance to defeat them. Otherwise, he would just be a punching bag. Although he didn't know why he wasn't getting hurt, he couldn't hurt them either. He wasn't sure how long he could withstand this if the commotion continued, so it was best to end it quickly.

The three of them completely disregarded whether they were expending too much spiritual energy and damaging their own Immortal Seedlings. They just wanted to quickly kill this seemingly unkillable monster, Qin Haoxuan, and unleashed all the Spiritual Laws they knew, like a rain of blows, upon him.

With every blow they landed on him, it was as if they were helping him absorb something. The medicinal power stored within Qin Haoxuan's body was forcibly driven into his bone marrow. Especially the Overlord's Fist from earlier, which caused a spiritual energy explosion. It was like a barrage of random punches that hit his entire body indiscriminately. Nearly one-tenth of the massive amount of spiritual energy stored in various parts of his body was driven into his bone marrow.

The more Yuan Shanhu and the others fought, the more their spiritual energy was depleted, and the more tired they became. But every punch Qin Haoxuan took was like half a month of diligent practice, naturally making him look refreshed and energetic.

Just as Qin Haoxuan was carefully observing their charging movements, looking for openings, the Ni Gong Wan in his mind suddenly twitched. A golden light exploded in his mind, and his entire spirit instantly underwent an inexplicable sublimation. Everything in heaven and earth became clearer than ever before. At the same time, a subtle, unknown light flashed in Qin Haoxuan's eyes. After the light flashed, Li Si, who was charging at the front, suddenly stopped in his tracks. His brain felt an intense pain! He froze on the spot!

Spiritual Sense!

Although he couldn't use Spiritual Law, the agile Qin Haoxuan wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. He lunged forward and pinned Li Si to the ground, delivering two heavy punches to his nose. Li Si saw stars and his nose began to bleed profusely.

At this moment, Zhang San also charged forward. He was forming hand seals, about to unleash his most proficient Wind Blade Technique. But in Qin Haoxuan's eyes, that subtle light flashed again. Zhang San, who was forming hand seals, suddenly moved incredibly slowly. Qin Haoxuan swept him off his feet with a horizontal sweep and pinned him to the ground, delivering a barrage of punches.

In just a moment, Qin Haoxuan's counterattack had taken down Zhang San and Li Si. These two were only in the late stage of Immortal Root Planting Realm, infinitely close to the Immortal Seedling Realm, but they were still no match for Qin Haoxuan, who was only in the early stage of Immortal Root Planting Realm. Yet, Qin Haoxuan had easily taken them both down. No one knew what method he had used.

This defied logic! No one had ever heard of someone fighting three opponents while being weaker, and still managing to win. Today, they finally witnessed it.

The onlookers had already grown accustomed to the surprises Qin Haoxuan brought. Today, Qin Haoxuan had already shocked them to the point of numbness.

Only Yuan Shanhu remained. He gathered all his spiritual energy and was about to unleash the Overlord's Fist again! The air around him swirled violently, kicking up dust from the ground, and a domineering aura emanated from him!

The onlookers craned their necks, eager to witness how this battle of the weak against the strong would conclude, and how Qin Haoxuan would withstand Yuan Shanhu's punch, which condensed all his spiritual energy.

However, Yuan Shanhu's punch never landed. Qin Haoxuan's eyes flashed with a faint light again. He seemed to see Yuan Shanhu's soul – a very faint golden light, far less than the vast golden light like a river in his own mind. The golden light in his mind appeared in the opponent's mind, instantly engulfing the opponent's golden light. Yuan Shanhu seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his face turned pale, and he stumbled back several steps. Pointing at Qin Haoxuan, he couldn't utter a single word. The domineering aura that had emanated from him when he was preparing the Overlord's Fist had completely vanished.

"W-what is going on?"

As Yuan Shanhu deflated, Qin Haoxuan pounced like a hungry tiger seizing its prey. A flurry of punches landed on Yuan Shanhu's chest. The man who had just called himself "Grandpa Yuan" let out a series of crisp cracking sounds. Several ribs were broken. Without medicinal pills to aid his recovery, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least two to three months.

The onlookers were incredibly curious about Qin Haoxuan's final attack method. The ability to control people's minds and cause them to momentarily lose focus was a technique that was invincible once used.

The scene was silent, with only the sound of Qin Haoxuan's punches and Yuan Shanhu's bones breaking. After a long while, a burst of exclamations erupted.

"Qin Haoxuan fighting three opponents alone, is this real?"

"If we're not all dreaming, then this must be real..."

The onlookers exchanged glances. In the cultivation world, a higher level of cultivation meant crushing power. The gap between the Immortal Root Planting Realm and the Immortal Seedling Realm was vast. How had this fellow Qin Haoxuan crossed it? And what was the method he used to make people briefly lose focus? Not to mention others, even Qin Haoxuan himself couldn't explain it.

The fight was over, and the female disciples had released Xu Yu. Xu Yu smiled warmly and cast a look of approval and admiration at Qin Haoxuan.

Earlier, in the moment of crisis, Xu Yu had dared to say, "Your business is my business," and that if Yuan Shanhu harmed Qin Haoxuan, he would not let him off. But now that Qin Haoxuan was out of danger, Xu Yu had returned to his usual quiet demeanor.

Amidst everyone's astonishment, his mind was incredibly calm, and he was rapidly sorting through his thoughts. He suddenly recalled Elder Chu's lecture on the mysterious Spiritual Sense attack.

Could that have been a Spiritual Sense attack just now? No, Spiritual Sense attacks could only be cultivated by those at the Immortal Infant Dao Fruit Realm, right? He was just starting out in the Immortal Root Planting Realm, still far from the Immortal Seedling Realm. How could he possibly use a Spiritual Sense attack? But if it wasn't a Spiritual Sense attack, then what was that peculiar sensation that had repeatedly emanated from his eyes? And each time after that sensation, his enemies' movements would slow down in his eyes. Even those in the Immortal Root Planting Realm like Zhang San and Li Si had been stunned on the spot.

How could all this be explained?

Although he was very curious, Qin Haoxuan dared not investigate further. If others found out he had this ability, it would undoubtedly attract unwanted attention, and his secret of possessing the Little Snake would be in grave danger! After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Haoxuan abandoned the idea of digging for the truth.

He didn't know that ever since he obtained the Little Snake and placed his soul within it, he had been cultivating. With the accumulation of time, his Spiritual Sense had become incredibly powerful, and he could now attack others! And it would have the same side effect as possessing the Little Snake: he would be extremely sleepy and tired the next day, unable to resist falling asleep.

As Qin Haoxuan was wildly guessing, an elder and several disciples in uniform white robes came hurrying from a distance. These were members of the Taichu Sect's Enforcement Team, Spirit Field Valley Squad. The enforcement elder's name was Elder Xuyunzi, and the leading disciple, Huang Li, was a beautiful woman with a delicate name and appearance. However, she often wore a cold expression, as if everyone owed her money. In Spirit Field Valley, she had a terrifying nickname – the Ice Rakshasa.

"As a newly initiated disciple, haven't you read the sect rules and teachings? If you have, why are you still engaging in private fights? Don't you know that private fights violate sect rules, and in serious cases, you could even be expelled from the mountain and never be accepted again?"

Huang Li's scolding came out like a barrage of pearls, not giving Qin Haoxuan a chance to argue. Disciples who engaged in private fights would always come up with countless excuses and reasons if given the chance to speak. She turned her head and continued to scold Yuan Shanhu, "You've been in the sect for twenty-five years, and you don't know that the sect rules strictly prohibit private fights? Not only did you engage in a private fight, but you also bullied a new disciple who had just joined?"

Huang Li paused, wanting to say more, but ultimately swallowed the latter half of the sentence, "And you lost, how embarrassing."

Being scolded by a woman, Yuan Shanhu didn't get angry. Instead, he lowered his head, looking as if he was very afraid of Huang Li.

Regarding the update schedule. From today onwards, theoretically, there will be one chapter before noon every day, and another chapter around 6 PM. The afternoon time might be slightly earlier. Some friends also mentioned that since the Zhang family produced two geniuses, why not bring them into the story, perhaps due to their bloodline. Let me clarify, there's no special bloodline here. Michael Jordan was called the God of Basketball, but his sons... Magic Johnson's basketball ability, and then look at his son... It's a long and sad story. This novel doesn't have any special bloodlines...

Finally, please give me your recommendation votes!
