Chapter 48 The Center of Attention
Chapter 48 The Center of Attention
The voice of Qinchuan resounded.
All of a sudden, the entire venue was in an uproar.
No one had expected that the Qin Family would actually dare to accept the life-and-death battle proposed by the Zhao Family!
After all, the Zhao Family, as a first-rate noble household of Great Wilderness City, had an unparalleled profound heritage.
The elders of the Zhao Family were all extremely powerful.
Especially the Great Elder of the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianhao, who was a mighty practitioner in the intermediate stage of the Fifth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, was extraordinarily strong.
The once strongest Great Elder of the Qin Family had only cultivated up to the Fourth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm and had been executed by Qinchuan.
Among the elder generation of the Qin Family, there was simply no one who could be a match for an elder of the Zhao Family.
And now, the Qin Family had actually agreed to a life-and-death battle, weren't they just sending their own elders to their doom?
Zhao Tianheng was also taken aback that the Qin Family had agreed so readily and blinked in surprise before his gaze started to flicker.
After the duel among the younger generation earlier, the strength displayed by the Qin Family's youth had increased terrifyingly.
At this moment, the Qin Family's prompt agreement to a life-and-death battle also made him suspect something.
"Great Elder, you should personally take the field this time, just to be safe. And take this Madness Pill with you."
Zhao Tianheng's gaze flashed slightly as he stealthily handed a Madness Pill to the Great Elder.
Zhao Tianhao raised an eyebrow, glanced in the direction where the Qin family members were, then smiled and said, "The family head worries too much. With those Qin elders, no matter who steps up, within three moves, I should have them under control."
"Still, take this Madness Pill just in case."
Zhao Tianheng persisted, still somewhat uneasy.
Zhao Tianhao hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhao Tianheng's insistence, he reluctantly accepted the elixir and then soared onto the Martial Combat Platform.
"The Zhao Family has actually sent Zhao Tianhao into battle right away. It looks like they plan to settle Qiankun all in one go and win this round among the elders."
Many people from the surrounding noble families tensed up when they saw Zhao Tianhao ascend the platform.
Zhao Tianhao's strength was undoubtedly one of the top in Great Wilderness City, extremely formidable. Many old masters from the various noble families in Great Wilderness City were extremely wary of him.
"Which Qin elder is going to fight? Aren't you climbing on the platform yet to meet your death?"
Zhao Tianhao declared with an overwhelming presence, his aura astonishing.
Qinchuan glanced at the Third Elder, Qin San, who was already eager to fight, and gave him a nod. "Go ahead, be careful and don't be careless."
"Haha, don't worry, family head. I will surely win this fight!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder chuckled confidently and then bellowed, "Zhao Tianhao, I am here to meet you!"
"Hmph, Qin San, it's you after all. But you're no match for me—a mere loser daring to face me in a life-and-death battle. You truly do not know the meaning of death."
Zhao Tianhao glanced at the Third Elder with disdain in his eyes.
"Times have changed. It's too early to judge who will live and who will die."
Qin San, the Third Elder, spoke with a cold sneer.
"Is that so? Then let's see if you can withstand my three moves!"
Zhao Tianhao sneered, and then he immediately made his move, unleashing an exquisite set of fist techniques. Like a violent windstorm, he unleashed a furious barrage at Qin San, the Third Elder.
His momentum was ferocious, his True Qi erupted forth, his fist technique was domineering, displaying awe-inspiring power with every motion, creating explosive sonic booms in the air, and a crisscross of fist shadows in the void.
"What fierce fist technique!"
"It's the Zhao Family's Torrential Madness Strike, a high-grade Yellow Level fist technique. It truly is domineering!"
"Zhao Tianhao's True Qi is also impressively vigorous. His strength, amongst the older generation of experts in Great Wilderness City, must rank within the top ten!"
"They say that the Qin Family's Third Elder has been stuck at the peak of the Third Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm for many years, seemingly having exhausted his potential. Facing Zhao Tianhao now, I'm afraid he's doomed!"
In the arena, many spectators' expressions grew grave at the sight of Zhao Tianhao attacking, and deep wariness surfaced in the eyes of many older experts.
However, on the Martial Combat Platform, Third Elder Qin San faced Zhao Tianhao's violent, rain-like assault without showing any fear, his eyes devoid of panic.
After experiencing life-and-death trials in the Great Wilderness and receiving guidance from Qinchuan, his control over strength and ability to capture flaws had greatly improved.
Watching Zhao Tianhao's domineering fist technique unfold and roar towards him, with fist shadows intertwining before his eyes, he suddenly threw a punch to meet the onslaught, "Red Sun True Fist!"
With a low shout, his eyes turned sharp, and he threw an accurate punch straight at Zhao Tianhao's fist, completely ignoring the flashy fist shadows!
"How is that possible!?"
Zhao Tianhao was taken aback, unable to comprehend how Third Elder Qin San had managed to track the trajectory of his punch.
At the same time, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Because the moment their fists collided, two mighty streams of True Qi immediately erupted.
The next instant, Zhao Tianhao felt an intensely hot and domineering True Qi force violently shatter the True Qi Fist Seal on his own fist.
Immediately after, an overwhelming power burst forth, sending him stumbling backwards, nearly falling off the Martial Combat Platform.
"What?!"
All around, everyone couldn't help but cry out in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
At the Zhao Family's seats, Zhao Tianheng stood up with a start, staring at the Martial Combat Platform, his pupils narrowing to pinpoints, filled with disbelief, his heart tossing and turning, unable to calm down!
"Condensed Truth Realm, Fifth Layer Intermediate Stage!"
"You've actually reached the Fifth Layer Intermediate Stage of the Condensed Truth Realm! This is impossible; two months ago, you were still stuck at the peak of the Third Layer. How could your cultivation level have improved so much in such a short time?!"
"And your True Qi, how can your True Qi be more vigorous than mine, stronger than the power of my True Qi?!"
Zhao Tianhao steadied himself, his eyes widening with shock.
Third Elder Qin San replied proudly, "You're right; two months ago I was indeed at the peak of the Third Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm. The significant progress I've made in such a short time is all thanks to the guidance and cultivation by our Family Head."
"You Zhao Family thought that by agreeing to this wager with our Qin Family, you'd simply be handed our Family's assets, but little did you know, our Family Head's methods are unfathomable. Today, it's predestined that your Zhao Family will suffer a great defeat!"
Speaking of Qinchuan, Third Elder Qin San's eyes filled with reverence.
"What did you say? It was Qinchuan who guided and cultivated you, enabling you to make such great progress in just two months?!"
"So that means, the younger members of the Qin Family have also become so strong because of Qinchuan?!"
Hearing Third Elder Qin San's words, Zhao Tianhao's eyes widened as he abruptly turned his gaze towards Qinchuan down by the Martial Combat Platform, his eyes full of disbelief.
"What?! The progress of these young members of the Qin Family, along with this Third Elder, in such a short two months, is because of Qinchuan?!"
"How is this possible?! What on earth did Qinchuan do? He's just a sixteen-year-old boy; how could he have such capability to guide older experts, enabling them to become so strong in just two months?!"
"..."
Suddenly, the entire arena was abuzz with excitement, all eyes turning toward Qinchuan.
The focus of thousands!
