Chapter 0408: Overwhelming Skill

Qin Yun's speed in carving runes on the talisman paper was astonishingly fast, which left many Runes Masters astonished.

"He's so fast, the precision must be lacking!" one Runes Master commented.

"It's incredibly fast, almost like sketching with a pen on paper. It doesn't seem like carving runes at all!"

"How is his precision?"

"It looks quite good!"

As soon as Qin Yun grasped the Mystic Rhinoceros Brush, he couldn't help but speed up, mainly due to his high proficiency and the fact that he was carving basic runes.

On the other side, Chu Longjie was moving very slowly. Seeing Qin Yun's speed, he was also startled!

Qin Yun usually carved advanced runes, which were much more difficult than basic runes.

Basic runes are simplified versions of advanced runes, so for Qin Yun, they were very simple.

In just a moment, Qin Yun had completed a basic Thunder Attraction Array!

Chu Longjie was still carving the basic Power Gathering Rune, not even halfway through. But his speed was quite normal.

"I'm done!" Qin Yun smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be so much time left!"

Qin Yun finished quickly, and the runes looked well-carved, though the exact quality remained uncertain.

The elders of the Qingtian King Sect were inwardly anxious. They had initially thought that Chu Longjie, with his high-quality carving knife, could improve precision and crush Qin Yun.

However, Qin Yun's runes appeared exceptionally well-crafted, with high precision.

Should Chu Longjie lose again, the Qingtian King Sect would lose another six million purple spirit coins! Adding the previous three million, it would be nearly ten million!

This illustrates how gambling can swiftly lead to financial disaster!

Someone said, "A basic Thunder Attraction Array is worth two thousand purple spirit coins. At Qin Yun's pace, he could produce ten in an hour! Ten arrays would be twenty thousand purple spirit coins! Working five hours daily would earn him a hundred thousand purple spirit coins, and three million in a month!"

The crowd was astounded!

"Although the demand for Thunder Attraction Arrays isn't that high, based on this calculation, Qin Yun could earn a large sum of purple spirit coins in just a few months!"

"It remains unclear how effective his arrays are. If they are truly powerful, he could amass a fortune!"

A million purple spirit coins represents a vast fortune for many!

Earning two to three million monthly, and so easily, is something many people dream of!

Chu Longjie found himself struggling as he carved the runes. At his speed, he could only make one array in an hour. Even if he worked continuously, he wouldn't earn much.

If Qin Yun really needed purple spirit coins, he could earn them by setting up royal-grade arrays or crafting royal-grade talismans.

Not only would he accumulate purple spirit coins, but he would also improve his rune skills.

Now, it was clear to everyone that Chu Longjie was far behind Qin Yun, akin to an adult competing with a child!

Xiao Yuemei approached Hong Mengshu from behind, toying with her sleek and elegant ponytail.

Both Hong Mengshu and Xiao Yuemei knew that Qin Yun was an advanced Runes Master. In a fair contest, Qin Yun would effortlessly outmatch Chu Longjie.

This was also the reason why Xiao Yuemei pulled Qin Yun into the challenge, because they stood to make a killing!

Xiao Yuemei occasionally flashed her pearly whites, glancing at the elders of the Qingtian King Sect, which infuriated them.

They were all anxious because they were likely to lose another six million purple spirit coins.

In their eyes, Xiao Yuemei was a sly fox who could be the death of you, utterly devious.

An hour was almost over, and Chu Longjie finally finished.

"Qin Yun, although you finished early, this isn’t a race; it’s about quality!" Chu Longjie was still very confident in himself, after all, the carving knife in his hand was a low-grade mystical weapon, which could significantly enhance the runes’ precision.

The higher the precision, the stronger the power of the runes.

Qin Yun looked at the elder of the Runes Hall and smiled, "Senior, please check the rune arrays!"

"If you want to see the results, come outside!" The elder, holding two rune arrays, headed downstairs.

The colors of the two rune arrays were different, so they were easy to tell apart.

Everyone immediately walked out of the hall, went downstairs, and crowded outside the tower.

Those on the first floor, seeing so many big shots, also followed out and quickly caught on to what was going on.

Everyone gathered in a circle, watching the elder test the Thunder Attracting Rune Array.

The first to be tested was Qin Yun’s rune array. The elder pulled out a Thunder Storage Pearl and placed it in the center of the rune array.

"Activate!" The elder called out softly, and the Thunder Attracting Rune Array sparked with electricity. A thunderclap suddenly boomed, and a powerful bolt of lightning struck, hitting the Thunder Storage Pearl.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qin Yun’s Thunder Attracting Rune Array drew four thunderbolts, and the rune paper turned to ash.

In the Runes King City, Runes Masters were everywhere, and they were all astonished.

Even the elder who was testing was utterly shocked!

Because a typical low-grade Thunder Attracting Rune Array could only attract two lightning bolts, and the best could only attract three.

But Qin Yun’s rune array actually attracted four lightning bolts.

This showed his rune carving was incredibly precise, which was usually the level of a Runes Master!

Everyone knew that Qin Yun was not even twenty years old, so he couldn’t possibly be a Runes Master!

What was most shocking was how quickly Qin Yun crafted this rune array.

Hong Ying, the Martial King, frowned and said, "Shu’er, your friend’s rune precision is very high, this is truly astonishing!"

Hong Mengshu smiled with some pride, "Father, now you should know how inferior that Chu Longjie is, right?"

"No, no, Chu Longjie is not inferior, it’s just that Qin Yun is too astonishing!" said Hong Ying, the Martial King.

Chu Longjie and the elders of the Qingtian King Sect looked utterly defeated!

Next, they began to test Chu Longjie’s Thunder Attracting Rune Array!

Boom! Boom!

It was just two sounds!

Everyone gasped in surprise, as the Qingtian King Sect had lost again!

Without even needing to weigh them, it was clear that the lightning stored in Chu Longjie's thunder-storing bead was far inferior to Qin Yun's!

The astonished elder said after the inspection, "Qin Yun's thunder-storing bead weighs four pounds, while Chu Longjie's weighs one pound and eight taels!"

"Haha, Qingtian King Sect, you lost again!" Xiao Yuemei laughed heartily and skipped over.

The elder from the Qingtian King Sect shook with rage and could only take out a purple spirit card, transferring six million purple spirit coins to Xiao Yuemei!

"Qin Yun, you cheated!" Chu Longjie was extremely indignant.

"You're less skilled than others, so you blame them for cheating? With all these elders watching, if Qin Yun had cheated, wouldn't they have noticed?" Xiao Yuemei snorted, "You were the one who challenged my brother, remember? You once said my brother would lose miserably, but now..."

She walked over to Qin Yun, laughing, "My brother has actually won nine million purple spirit coins from you, hahaha... Thanks for the free spirit coins!"

Chu Longjie had been spoiled since childhood, and except for his elders, everyone had to respect him. He had never been humiliated like this before.

Not only had he lost twice in a row, but he was also openly mocked by Xiao Yuemei. This was the ultimate humiliation for him, completely igniting the fury in his heart!

"You bitch, I'll kill you!" Chu Longjie's face turned red, and he suddenly roared, throwing a punch at Xiao Yuemei's head.

Only Qin Yun, standing beside Xiao Yuemei, could react in time!

He activated the instant movement of the Fire Cloud Steps, his left arm gathering a surge of Heavenly Lion Thunder Force, striking at Chu Longjie's fist!

Bang!

The impact was instantaneous, exploding with a fierce purple-gold thunder flame that pierced through Chu Longjie's entire arm, exiting from behind his shoulder!

"Agh—" Chu Longjie screamed, his arm split open from the middle, a large, smoking hole burnt into his shoulder.

Chu Longjie's entire arm and shoulder were blown apart!

Everyone gasped in shock at the sight!

Chu Longjie, a fourth-level Martial realm warrior, had suffered such severe injuries from a punch with Qin Yun. The difference in their strength was obvious!

"Qin Yun, you went too far!" an elder from the Qingtian King Sect shouted in anger.

"Longjie only used inner energy to attack, but you gathered such powerful force! Were you trying to kill him?"

"I’ll teach you a lesson!" the elder from the Qingtian King Sect charged forward.

The Strange Patterns Hall elder had already stepped in front of Qin Yun, coldly stating, "In our Strange Patterns King City, no fighting is allowed! Everyone saw that Chu Longjie attacked the girl first, and Qin Yun intervened to stop him, which was the right thing to do!"

The most astonishing thing was Qin Yun's reaction speed, channeling such terrifying power in an instant, which was simply unbelievable!

Chu Longjie, a fourth-level Martial realm warrior, with armor on, was still pierced through!

"Elder, avenge me!" Chu Longjie cried out in pain.

The once arrogant genius Chu Longjie was now in such a pitiful state, leaving everyone sighing.

Xiao Yuemei knew very well that Qin Yun had the title of 'genius killer'. Those who called themselves geniuses and acted arrogantly in front of Qin Yun wouldn't last long.

The elder from the Qingtian King Sect pointed at Qin Yun and shouted, "Qin Yun, if you know what's good for you, come over and kowtow to Longjie, apologize, and pay five million purple spirit coins! Otherwise, you will become the number one enemy of our Qingtian King Sect, and we will not let you off!"

Qin Yun sneered, "Apologize? Spit! I'm not afraid of you! If you have the guts, kill me here!"

"Qin Yun, you and the disciples of the Nine Extremes Profound Sect will be the number one wanted enemies of our Qingtian King Sect, you just wait!" the elder shouted angrily.

At that moment, Wei Zhongzheng's voice came through, "Qingtian King Sect, if you target the disciples of our Nine Extremes Profound Sect, then we will not let your disciples off either!"

"As the sect leader, I will spend the next hundred years specifically ambushing your Xuan Martial realm warriors, so be careful!"
