Chapter 131: Gathering Spirit Kill

Chapter 131: Gathering Spirit Kill

Everyone was very puzzled by Xiao Yuemei's words, as they could all see that Qin Yun had already given his all, his face pale.

Qin Yun indeed hadn't exerted himself fully; on one hand, he didn't want to reveal too much of his powerful mental energy, and on the other, he didn't want to steal Xiao Yuemei's thunder.

Since the first place in the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Association was a gift from her sister, he felt he should give her some face here.

Xiao Yuemei sneered coldly, "You're holding back your mental energy, thinking I can't see it? Aren't you just worried about stealing my thunder? I gave the top spot in the Hidden Dragon to you back then; am I afraid of you taking the spotlight now?"

Qin Yun was taken aback and forced a smile, "You're overthinking this!"

Du Gui frowned, then laughed aloud, "Qin Yun, your mental energy isn't strong enough; you can only learn ordinary mental techniques!"

Qin Yun cursed inwardly and said discontentedly, "Eighty flying spirit stones are floating; isn't that strong enough?"

"It's quite good, but not enough! Your mental energy isn't strong enough; I can't let you learn those advanced mental techniques lightly, it could cause problems," Du Gui laughed slyly.

"Well... then I'll test again," Qin Yun, for better mental techniques, could only start over.

Xiao Yuemei glared at him fiercely and huffed, "I told you you weren't using your full strength, yet you still argued!"

Du Gui chuckled, "Alright, alright, do it again, do it again!"

Qin Yun indeed held back part of his mental energy and didn't release it, which surprised many people, especially the two vice-principals of the Xuan-level Martial Academy!

Everyone focused their attention on the flying spirit stones on the ground. Soon, the flying spirit stones began to float, and more than eighty were suspended in the air at once.

"Not strong enough, continue!" Du Gui laughed, seemingly also noticing how deeply Qin Yun was hiding his true strength.

Qin Yun gritted his teeth and released a bit of mental energy from his star-transformed mind. Then, five more flying spirit stones floated.

He asked, "Is it enough now?"

Du Gui shook his head, "Not yet!"

Xiao Yuemei, with her delicate brows, huffed, "What are you dilly-dallying for? Release your strongest mental energy in one go!"

Qin Yun clenched his teeth and took a deep breath, shouting loudly as he released all the mental energy from his mental star crystal, concentrating it on all the flying spirit stones.

All the flying spirit stones immediately floated up and trembled violently!

"A hundred flying spirit stones floating, truly impressive!"

"His mental energy is as strong as Xiao Yuemei's!"

"This guy was really holding back."

"How does one train to have such strong mental energy?"

"Too terrifying, far surpassing those from the Xuan-level Martial Academy!"

Even Du Gui was startled.

As everyone was discussing, the trembling flying spirit stones suddenly emitted a series of crisp sounds and exploded!

Everyone was stunned into silence!

Such powerful mental energy, bursting all the flying spirit stones! How strong was Qin Yun's mental energy? It far exceeded Xiao Yuemei's!

Du Gui, seeing the flying spirit stones shatter, was so shocked that his mouth gaped wide open, his small eyes bulging...

Qin Yun sighed inwardly, "Trouble, I used too much force!"

Xiao Yuemei's eyes were full of surprise, but there was also a hint of mischief. She giggled, "Qin Yun, you're in trouble. You broke Teacher Du's precious stones, each worth ten thousand crystals!"

A hundred stones, that's ten million crystals!

Qin Yun cursed Xiao Yuemei inwardly, who had secretly set him up!

"This... it's no problem, no problem!" After being shocked, Du Gui released his mental energy, causing the shattered flying spirit stones to float and fly into a box.

Now everyone was certain that Qin Yun's mental energy was very strong, even stronger than Xiao Yuemei's!

"Teacher Du, aren't you going to give me something?" Qin Yun asked with a hopeful look, "You just gave Xiao Yuemei a necklace!"

Breaking stones worth ten million crystals and still asking for gifts, such a thick-skinned person even made Murong Daren secretly despise him.

"This... I don't have anything good to give you right now!" Du Gui laughed dryly, "Sorry!"

"No worries, you can owe me for now, and give it to me next time!" Qin Yun smiled, "Let's settle it like that! With your strong mental energy, your memory must be excellent, you won't forget this matter!"

Everyone secretly despised him for shamelessly demanding gifts...

Seventeen people passed Du Gui's test, each receiving a copy of "Gathering Spirit Kill," an upper-level Ling-grade martial technique, but only the first part, with a total of three parts.

"Although it's just the first part, it's enough for you to deal with ghost beasts!"

After saying this, Du Gui took out another book, waving it in his hand, and said to Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei, "This is another technique I'm giving you, only one copy, so... you two will study together!"

Xiao Yuemei quickly snatched it and glanced at Qin Yun, "Take me to your room!"

Then... under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Yun led Xiao Yuemei into the cave...

Murong Daren looked admiringly and whispered, "A man and a woman studying martial arts together inside? Brother Yun is truly amazing. He usually appears refined, but his skills in handling women are so high, truly a model for us all!"

The students were in an uproar; Xiao Yuemei was actually staying in the same room with Qin Yun...

Although everyone knew that Xiao Yuemei had given the top spot in the Hidden Dragon to Qin Yun, their relationship seemed to have developed too quickly!

"In the Heavenly Profound Martial Academy, Xiao Yuemei has many admirers, all of whom are very talented, but she doesn’t even give them a second glance. Now she’s so kind to Qin Yun!"

"Qin Yun’s mental power is so strong, and he’s a Runes Master capable of crafting storage spirit artifacts. He’s destined to become a great Runes Master in the future. It’s only natural that she would take an interest in him. As a woman, I wouldn’t mind either!"

"Are they really studying when they go into the room?"

Qin Yun never expected that Xiao Yuemei would be just like her sister, always doing things that were hard to fathom.

After leading Xiao Yuemei into his stone chamber, he closed the stone door.

"Qin Yun, don’t you dare do anything improper! That day I didn’t personally challenge you on stage, but it doesn’t mean I’m not your match," Xiao Yuemei warned him coldly as soon as she entered.

"Don’t worry! Even if you gave me ten more hearts, I wouldn’t dare. Your sister would slice me to pieces with her sword," Qin Yun smirked and said, "It sounds like you think I’m some kind of pervert. I’m actually a very honest person!"

Xiao Yuemei casually sat down on a chair, looking around at the numerous blueprints, furnaces, and various animal bones.

She asked, "Qin Yun, your martial soul really didn’t die?"

This seemingly delicate and refined Xiao Yuemei suddenly gave off a rather carefree and straightforward vibe, casually taking out a fruit to eat.

"My martial soul is definitely not dead. It was those fools led by Master Wei who jumped to that conclusion," Qin Yun said with a cold laugh.

He scrutinized Xiao Yuemei closely and suddenly found her somewhat endearing. Her delicate and beautiful face, slightly mischievous, paired with her simple and elegant white dress, made her appear even more graceful and serene.
