Guidance

"The Liu family, Liu Ruoxue?" A flash of coldness crossed Qin Hao's eyes.

This woman he once deeply loved was now the pain in his heart!

Liu Wei nodded and said, "That's right! Furthermore, she has also brought two Myriad Phenomena Hall outer court disciples with her."

Qin Hao asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Liu Ruoxue had just left for the Myriad Phenomena Hall not long ago; why were there outer court disciples accompanying her upon her return to Tianshui City?

Liu Wei deliberated for a moment and slowly said, "Qin Hao, I only just found out about this matter as well. After Liu Ruoxue entered the Myriad Phenomena Hall, her Water-Attribute Martial Soul caught the attention of the Myriad Phenomena Hall. Moreover, through some unknown connections, Liu Ruoxue has attached herself to a Myriad Phenomena Hall inner court genius!"

"Now that they have confirmed their relationship as partners, Liu Ruoxue has returned to Tianshui City, and this person specifically arranged for two outer court disciples to protect her."

"This inner court genius is named Lei Zhen!"

After a pause, Liu Wei continued, "The Lei family is a major power within the Myriad Phenomena Hall, and the patriarch of the Lei family is one of the inner court elders of the Myriad Phenomena Hall!"

Saying this, worry appeared in Liu Wei's eyes.

He was afraid Qin Hao would be unable to accept this and suffer a psychological blow.

However, to Liu Wei's surprise, after listening, Qin Hao's expression was extremely calm.

"Climbing upward by flattering the powerful and borrowing a chicken to hatch an egg—such a woman, I, Qin Hao, look down upon!"

Qin Hao's tone was indifferent. "However, I said before that I will make Liu Ruoxue regret this. At the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament, I will prove to the world just how ignorant and foolish Liu Ruoxue truly is."

"Moreover, this is also the first step of my pursuit of the martial Dao!"

"Uncle Liu, just watch. I will seize first place in the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament!"

A stir shook Liu Wei's heart, and he let out a hearty laugh, looking forward to it as he said, "Good! Qin Hao, I'll wait to see your performance in the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament!"

The Qin family martial arts arena.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several figures tumbled down from the sparring platform, lying sprawled across the ground as they wailed.

A short moment later, these few individuals grimaced as they climbed up from the ground, cupping their fists in admiration toward the sparring platform. "Senior Brother Qin Feng, Senior Brother Qin Peng, you two are too formidable! Even with so many of us attacking at the same time, we couldn't last even two seconds in your hands!"

Two youths dressed in the garments of Myriad Phenomena Hall outer court disciples stood prominently on the sparring platform.

These two were precisely Qin Feng and Qin Peng.

Qin Feng was among the top three of the penultimate Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament, while Qin Peng had entered the Myriad Phenomena Hall during the previous tournament.

Qin Peng put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly, "I have cultivated bitterly in the Myriad Phenomena Hall for three years. Not to mention my exact ranking in the outer court, among martial artists of the same realm, those who can surpass me can be counted on one hand! The likes of you at merely the fourth and fifth stages of the Body Tempering Realm can endure two moves in my hands—not bad at all. Especially you, if you cultivate diligently, you can try making a charge for the top three in the next Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament!"

"Many thanks for Senior Brother Qin Peng's guidance!" The face of the designated Qin family disciple revealed joy, and he hastily cupped his fists in salute.

Qin Peng nodded and said, "Next, who is coming?"

"I'll come! Senior Brother Qin Peng, give me some guidance too!"

"Me, Senior Brother Qin Peng, pick me!"

Immediately, the numerous Qin family disciples surrounding the sparring platform broke into a frenzy.

"I'll come!"

"Qin Fang greets the two senior brothers!"

At this moment, Qin Fang leaped up onto the sparring platform.

Qin Feng and Qin Peng thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of being revered by others.

The two nodded slightly, and Qin Feng said with a faint smile, "So it's you little fellow, Qin Fang. Haven't seen you in a few years, Qin Fang, you've grown up! I heard that Elder Zhao tested you and found you to have a grade-three Martial Soul. Not bad, one day my Qin family will inevitably gain yet another Myriad Phenomena Hall disciple!"

Qin Fang smiled respectfully. "I will still need much guidance from the two senior brothers. If I enter the Myriad Phenomena Hall, I will definitely not forget the kindness of the two of you!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Qin Peng offered a faint smile, shifted the topic, and said, "Qin Fang, I heard that trash Qin Hao was tested and found to have a grade-one Martial Soul. Is this true?"

"Senior Brother Qin Peng, Elder Zhao personally conducted the test, how could there be any mistake? Qin Hao is an unadulterated piece of trash!" Qin Fang said with resentment.

During his previous battle with Qin Hao, Qin Fang had originally thought he could ruthlessly humiliate Qin Hao.

Who could have expected that he would actually be defeated by Qin Hao in a single move!

After the incident, the supreme elder and Qin Gaochi expended no small amount of effort to heal his injuries.

Qin Peng sneered, "That piece of trash—it's a pity my Qin family wasted so many resources on him. Truly a waste of everyone's time and effort!"

Qin Peng had entered the Myriad Phenomena Hall somewhat later than Qin Feng, at which time Qin Hao was still hailed as the number one genius of Tianshui City.

Therefore, deep down, Qin Peng felt equally disgusted with Qin Hao.

Now that he learned Qin Hao was a trash with a grade-one Martial Soul, he couldn't help but want to step on him a couple of times as well.

Right at this moment, the crowd suddenly erupted into a commotion.

A slender figure walked leisurely over from outside the public square.

The person who had arrived was precisely Qin Hao!

The moment Qin Fang saw Qin Hao, his anger surged instantly, and he barked in a low voice, "Qin Hao, what are you, a piece of trash, doing over here?"

"Could it be you still want Senior Brother Qin Feng and Senior Brother Qin Peng to guide you? Bah! I'm telling you, keep dreaming! Trash like you is not worthy of receiving guidance from the two senior brothers!"

"What am I here for? Do I need to report that to a defeated opponent like you?"

Qin Hao stood with an upright posture, glanced coldly at Qin Fang, and said indifferently, "Furthermore, Qin Fang, have you forgotten our wager? From now on, whenever you see me, you must detour around me! Or could it be that you didn't get beaten enough last time?"

"You!" Qin Fang's chest heaved with fury, and he nearly vomited blood.

Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, Qin Fang, there's no need to get angry with a piece of trash! Qin Hao, although these words sound harsh, what Qin Fang said is correct. You are merely a piece of trash with a grade-one Martial Soul; we will not guide you, so get lost."

Having spoken, Qin Feng turned around, completely treating Qin Hao as air.

At this moment, Qin Peng placed his hands behind his back and said from his lofty height, "Qin Hao, I can actually give you a chance. As long as you loudly declare in front of everyone that you are a piece of trash, and kneel down to beg me, I can consider giving you some guidance."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately burst into boisterous laughter.

Qin Fang, whose heart had originally been filled with rage, also revealed a bantering smile. "Qin Hao, Senior Brother Qin Peng is magnanimous and willing to give you a chance—why aren't you kneeling down to thank him immediately!"

"What a joke! Qin Peng, your so-called guidance is just beating them up?" Qin Hao stated unceremoniously.

Qin Peng's expression sank as he said, "What would a piece of trash like you understand!"

Qin Hao rebuked sternly, "Qin Feng, you have entered the Myriad Phenomena Hall for a full six years, yet you still linger at the ninth stage of the Body Tempering Realm and have failed to break through after all this time. I'm afraid you rank right at the bottom of the Myriad Phenomena Hall outer court ranking boards! As for you, Qin Peng, you are even more worthless, having yet to even break through to the ninth stage of the Body Tempering Realm to this day!"

"With this kind of cultivation and strength, how do you even have the face to return to the Qin family to put on airs?"

"Also, if the two of you were genuinely offering guidance, you would properly point out the flaws in their cultivation rather than just beating them up to display your own superiority!"

"At the Myriad Phenomena Genius Tournament, I will rely on my own strength to win first place and enter the Myriad Phenomena Hall!"

"By that time, in half a year at most, I will surpass both of you."

Having finished speaking, Qin Hao couldn't be bothered to pay further attention to the crowd and walked straight toward the outside of the public square.
