Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Seeking Revenge
Training Ground
Ding Ding Ding~
Sword flashes flickered as two figures clashed on the platform.
"Damn, kid, you mastered Spiritual Energy so quickly."
Xiao Yunlong stepped back two paces, his eyes wide in astonishment as he spotted the dark purple Spiritual Energy shimmering on Qin Tian’s blade.
After just a single night of cultivation, he could infuse his weapon with Spiritual Energy and control it with precision.
This kid really makes life hard for everyone else.
"Isn’t it just a simple task~"
Qin Tian smiled faintly, a purple light flaring beneath his feet as his speed suddenly increased.
"So fast!"
Xiao Yunlong’s pupils shrank in alarm at Qin Tian’s sudden burst of speed, and before he could react, Qin Tian’s battle sword had already struck his arm.
Bang~
Xiao Yunlong was sent flying horizontally and crashed heavily to the ground, his battle sword slipping from his grasp.
"Hiss, that hurts."
Xiao Yunlong rubbed his arm, relieved that Qin Tian was using a training sword without an edge; otherwise, he would be a one-armed knight now.
"The Ninefold Thunder Flash is truly fast."
"Qin Tian, you’ve outdone yourself; your master is no longer your match."
Xiao Yunlong got up, dusting off his backside, as he candidly admitted that Qin Tian’s combat prowess now surpassed his own.
Upon reflection, Qin Tian truly was a freak.
His Spiritual Energy had just barely reached the introductory level, at most Tier One, One Star.
And his swordsmanship training hadn’t even been five days.
Yet, under these conditions, Qin Tian managed to defeat him, a Tier Two Five Stars martial veteran who has been practicing swordsmanship for over a decade.
This guy has a physique comparable to a Beastman and an incredibly scary comprehension ability.
In the entire Empire, probably only the core disciples of the Golden Clan have such talent.
Qin Tian put away his battle sword, not minding Xiao Yunlong’s verbal remarks, and smiled faintly, "Thanks."
If it weren’t for Xiao Yunlong’s unrestricted teaching and sparring over these few days, his swordsmanship wouldn’t have reached its current level.
Just moments ago, Xiao Yunlong had also imparted some tips on controlling Spiritual Energy, helping him quickly master the Thunderbolt Saber and Ninefold Thunder Flash.
This camaraderie would be forever remembered in his heart.
"Come, have some water."
Liu Zhaozhao brought two bottles of drinks up to the platform, handing them to Qin Tian and Xiao Yunlong.
"Thanks, Zhao zhao, you’re so thoughtful. How will I survive without you around~" Xiao Yunlong chuckled.
Liu Zhaozhao shot him a glare, "You smooth talker."
"Hehe."
Xiao Yunlong took a pleased sip of his drink, seeming to enjoy even the scolding.
"Heh, finally found you guys."
Just then, a rough voice laced with anger echoed from a distance.
Qin Tian turned his head, his brows furrowing immediately.
"It’s you."
Liu Zhaozhao raised her brows, recognizing the two men approaching the platform as the bearded man and bald guy who harassed her at the tavern that night.
"What are you here for?"
Qin Dadi blocked their path with a serious tone.
"What do you think?"
The bearded man stopped and surveyed the Earth Dragon Team with cold eyes, saying, "What do you think? Of course, it’s to settle the score."
"You’re still looking for trouble?"
Xiao Yunlong jumped off the platform, bristling with anger, "That night it was clearly you who instigated the trouble first."
"What’s going on?"
"Someone coming to pick a fight with our 319th Corps?"
The surrounding special forces soldiers gathered, looking unfriendly at the bearded man and his companion.
Surrounded by a crowd, the bearded man remained unfazed, nonchalantly saying:
"I am Dai Jun of the White Tiger Legion, holder of the Bauhinia Medal. Who dares touch me?"
White Tiger Legion, Bauhinia Medal
Upon hearing these words, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
The White Tiger Legion was the renowned ace force on Alpha 7 Star, which had made notable contributions in capturing Lieyang Valley.
And the Bauhinia Medal is a symbol of honor and courage.
Only the bravest and most fearless warriors have the qualification to receive this medal.
"Hmph."
The bearded man snorted coldly, staring at Xiao Yunlong, "So, dared to ambush me that night, but now too scared to admit it?"
Ambush?
What does he mean?
Qin Dadi and Xiao Yunlong exchanged confused glances.
Seeing their expressions, the bearded man realized it wasn’t them and then glanced at Liu Zhaozhao.
The one who ambushed them that night yelled "Hey," and it was a man’s voice, so it could only be...
The bearded man’s gaze turned to the calm Qin Tian on the platform, his eyes gradually turning cold.
"Was it you?"
Qin Tian clasped his hands on the sword hilt, the tip touching the ground, and looked calmly at him, nodding slightly.
"Yes."
What?
The three Earth Dragon Team members were taken aback, looking at Qin Tian in disbelief.
They couldn’t believe that Qin Tian had sneaked out that night to ambush these two men and had not mentioned a word afterward.
If it hadn’t been for the victims coming to them, they might never have known about this incident.
"Qin Tian, when... Ah, I get it."
Xiao Yunlong’s eyes suddenly widened, "I wondered why you took so long in the bathroom that night, didn’t expect..."
Liu Zhaozhao pursed her lips slightly, as she looked at Qin Tian’s cold and calm face, waves surged in her heart.
Who would have thought that the usually reticent, always cold-faced Qin Tian would silently seek revenge for the wrong done to her?
"Good, very good."
The bearded man laughed coldly, "To think that I, Dai Jun, who even Beastmen couldn’t get a hand on, was ambushed by a little punk."
"Since you’ve admitted it, how do you suggest resolving this?"
Hearing this, Qin Dadi stepped forward to face the bearded man, speaking in a deep voice:
"I am the captain of the Earth Dragon Team, discuss it with me."
"I’m looking for him, not you. Besides..."
The bearded man glanced at the rock layers emerging on Qin Dadi’s right fist, and scornfully said, "You’re just a Tier Two Superpower User, who are you to negotiate with me?"
After being ambushed, he carefully reconsidered all his enemies and questioned them one by one to eliminate their suspicion.
Finally, he concluded that the ambusher had to be one of the four involved in the bar altercation that night.
Through various connections and a few days’ time, he finally pinpointed his target.
319th Corps, Earth Dragon Team, consisted of four members.
Captain Qin Dadi, Tier Two Rockification Superpower User.
Team member Xiao Yunlong, Tier Two Spirit Martial Artist.
Team member Liu Zhaozhao, Tier Two Flame Superpower User.
As a fellow Tier Two who had clawed his way out from heaps of corpses, he didn’t regard the three at all.
The last one was quite mysterious, with no apparent identity, but through indirect sources, he learned that this person was named Qin Tian.
The bearded man believed that those with truly impressive backgrounds wouldn’t join such low-level teams, so he assumed their skills wouldn’t be that strong. That night, they were ambushed solely because he and his companion were drunk, and their vigilance was lowered.
Now, he must reclaim his dignity.
"You..."
Qin Dadi’s eyes flared with anger, the stone fragments on his body increasing, almost enveloping his entire body.
Xiao Yunlong and Liu Zhaozhao stood behind Qin Dadi, ready for a fight.
Just as tensions mounted to the brink, a calm voice suddenly cut through.
"If you want to settle this, come up and fight me!"
