Chapter 0066: The Fury of the Waves

Qin Yun successfully crafted the beast hide spirit talisman, though it took slightly longer than making paper talismans. However, the power of the beast hide spirit talisman was significantly stronger.

The beast hide needed to be treated before carving runes into it, a task Yang Shiyue completed. She used her Inner Strength at the ninth level of Martial Body to treat the hide, achieving the best results.

"Teacher, what is Xiao Yuemei's martial soul?" Qin Yun asked. Xiao Yuemei was a significant threat, and understanding her would provide an advantage.

"The martial souls of the sisters are quite mysterious; even their parents don't know!" Yang Shiyue shook her head and said, "If I didn't expose mine, most people wouldn't know my martial soul either."

Qin Yun also kept his Vibrating martial soul hidden, ensuring that others wouldn't know, giving him an element of surprise in combat.

"Xiao Yuemei's talent is terrifying. Why wasn't she directly selected by the Xuan-level Martial Academy?" Qin Yun had always been puzzled by this.

Yang Shiyue handed Qin Yun a stack of prepared beast hides and sighed softly, "To be directly selected by the Xuan-level Martial Academy, one must agree to the conditions set by the academy. Perhaps she didn't want to agree to those conditions."

Qin Yun suddenly guessed that Yang Shiyue might be bound by these conditions, otherwise she wouldn't be teaching at Hualing Martial Arts Academy.

He asked in a low voice, "Teacher, did you face reprimand from Heavenly Profound Martial Academy for exposing your martial soul in front of everyone?"

Yang Shiyue smoothed her hair with a graceful gesture and laughed, "I was scolded a bit. I went back for other reasons! Focus on crafting talismans, don't ask too many questions!"

Qin Yun knew that Yang Shiyue cared for him deeply, so he was very concerned about her situation.

Therefore, the only thing he could do was to quickly and diligently improve his strength!

Qin Yun crafted four talismans per hour, working continuously for ten hours, then resting for two. This routine continued for three days, resulting in over a hundred fire and thunder talismans, all made from beast hides.

He then crafted a thunder rune bracelet, which had immense power, capable of injuring Qin Zhengfeng's arm.

Yang Shiyue picked up the thunder rune bracelet and smiled, "Let me help you store Inner Strength in your thunder rune bracelet; mine is stronger!"

Qin Yun nodded with a smile.

He also handed over the other thunder rune bracelet.

Since there were no restrictions on using such items during battles, he wanted to equip as many as possible.

Finally, he crafted a set of clothes from beast hide and carved light runes into them.

Light runes were healing and detoxifying spirit runes, as rare and precious as alchemical runes, and complex. He had only recently mastered them.

Duan Qian entered, his expression serious, "Qin Yun, if your body is fine, you should quickly improve your ranking!"

Yang Shiyue asked, "What happened?"

Duan Qian nodded, "Qin Yun's battle with Qin Feng caused quite a stir, especially at the Tian Qin Imperial Palace. To save face, they spared no expense to heal the severely injured Qin Feng. He should recover soon and will surely challenge you."

During battles, spirit artifacts were allowed. If the Tian Qin Imperial Family spared no expense, they could certainly equip Qin Feng with spirit artifacts.

The Tian Qin Imperial Family had the capability to do so.

Duan Qian glanced at Yang Shiyue and continued, "Qin Zhengfeng has extensive connections within Heavenly Profound Martial Academy and can definitely receive support from some of its members!"

Yang Shiyue frowned slightly, looking at Qin Yun, "Challenge Qi Xue, who is ranked fifth, now and secure the top spot soon!"

"Alright, I'll go now!" Qin Yun nodded.

...

Upon receiving the message that "Slaydragon" challenged her, Qi Xue immediately rushed to the main arena.

Everyone knew that during Slaydragon's battle with Qin Feng, he was severely injured by Qin Zhengfeng, who broke the rules. Even after resting for a few days, he couldn't have fully recovered.

Now, news spread that Qin Feng had already recovered, leading everyone to believe that Slaydragon feared revenge and thus challenged Qi Xue immediately.

On the arena, Qi Xue wore a tight red outfit, her brows raised arrogantly as she sneered, "I heard you're an old blacksmith! You saved that little slut Qi Meilian. Are you two having an affair?"

Her words caused the crowd to burst into laughter. Everyone knew that Qi Meilian was rescued by a masked man and taken to Runes Hall, never to emerge again.

Seeing the crowd laughing, Qi Xue laughed loudly and continued, "Maybe she was driven mad by your ugly and old face under that mask! Thanks to you, she was demoted to a commoner. A princess consorting with others... just like her slave mother!"

Qin Yun listened quietly, then spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Your mouth is truly foul. I'm afraid tearing it would dirty my hands!"

Meng Feiling didn't get the chance, but she would have torn Qi Xue's mouth apart!

"The match begins!" the referee shouted.

Qi Xue clenched her teeth in hatred and released several ice swords formed from her Inner Strength towards Qin Yun as soon as the match started!

Qin Yun let out a deep roar, stomping forcefully, leaving a deep footprint in the stone bricks beneath him.

The bricks remained unbroken, impressing many veteran martial artists with the power that could melt stone!

"Qi Blast Technique, Wave!" Qin Yun spread his arms wide and thrust his palms forward, unleashing a wave of qi that surged like a mountain and sea.

The Xuan-level martial art, Qi Blast Technique, was immensely powerful!

Qin Yun had cultivated the Qi Blast Technique to minor mastery and unleashed it with full force!

The unstoppable force of the qi blast instantly shattered Qi Xue's ice sword-like Inner Strength.

The surging waves of the qi blast roared towards Qi Xue!

Qi Xue's body was struck fiercely by the wave of qi blast, causing her to scream and fly out, crashing heavily into a large wall of the arena, as if pressed into it by an invisible giant hand.

Qi Xue's bones shattered, her body covered in wounds, and she fainted!

She was embedded into the wall, undoubtedly suffering severe injuries.

The people from the Tian Qi Empire "scraped" her off the high wall and hurriedly took her away for treatment!

Another top ten contender was carried away, and this time it was even more pathetic, defeated with just one move!

The warriors in the arena felt their hearts tremble; if they faced that move, they might be torn to shreds!

"You got off easy. As long as you're alive, I won't let this go!" Qin Yun watched Qi Xue being carried away, clenching his fists tightly, still seething with anger.

"That must be a Profound-level martial technique! Look at Tulong's breathing—it's not as steady anymore, showing how much energy that move consumed!"

"A Profound-level martial technique! Even many large clans don't have such techniques! Superior Spirit-level ones are already precious!"

"Who exactly is the masked man?"

Qin Yun used Qi Burst Technique to avenge Qi Meilian; it is currently the strongest martial technique he has mastered.

"Tulong wins and advances to fifth place!"

He continued to challenge Ye Chenlei, who was ranked fourth.

Ye Chenlei had already been severely injured in his previous match with Meng Feiling and only came up to announce his withdrawal.
