Chapter 0107: The Quartet

Murong Daren poured another cup of tea for Qin Yun and smiled, "Since you've decided to join the Star Profound Martial Academy with us, we're friends from now on! If we succeed, all four of us can enter the Star Profound Martial Academy smoothly and have each other's backs."

Qin Yun nodded and said, "Brothers, I hope you can guide me in the future."

Huo Zhong chuckled, "Although Xie Lao Da hasn't passed the assessment for years, he's very strong, so don't worry about being bullied."

Murong Daren laughed, "Little Brother Yun, rest assured! Murong Lao Er isn't a pushover either! Xie Lao Da is the oldest, then it's me, the bald one is Huo Lao San, and you're the youngest."

Xie Wufeng said, "Originally, there were many more brothers here, but after the new rules came out, they all left. Otherwise, it would be much livelier."

"Those pigs aren't worth calling brothers; they'll be our enemies from now on," Murong Daren snorted coldly. "A bunch of ungrateful bastards! We treated them so well, yet they left without even saying goodbye."

Qin Yun knew that if he chose to join the Star Profound Martial Academy, no instructors would guide him. If he joined another Martial Courtyard, not only would he receive guidance from instructors, but he might also be directly selected if he performed well.

Huo Zhong smiled, "It doesn't matter. They'll get what's coming to them when they join other Martial Courtyards."

Murong Daren took a sip of tea and said, "Little Brother Yun, your name is Qin Yun. Do you have any connection to the Tian Qin Empire? Your name sounds familiar. We've been here for years and rarely hear news from the outside world. You're the only newcomer recently."

"I am a prince of the Tian Qin Empire," Qin Yun replied.

"A prince of the Tian Qin Empire? Do you know Yan Qingyu and Meng Feiling?" Murong Daren asked, slightly surprised.

Xie Wufeng and Huo Zhong were also deep in thought, suddenly finding Qin Yun's name very familiar.

"I know Meng Feiling; she was my senior," Qin Yun smiled.

"That damn seductive woman, stay away from her. She tricked me out of a lot of good stuff," Murong Daren cursed under his breath. "She specializes in fooling simple, honest people like me!"

Huo Zhong laughed, "Why didn't she fool me or Xie Lao Da? I heard those who tried to take advantage of her lost a lot of their possessions."

Qin Yun secretly found it amusing; Murong Daren didn't seem like an honest person at all... He also admired Meng Feiling for making a fortune in the Three Martial Academy.

Xie Wufeng suddenly said in a serious tone, "Qin Yun... I finally remember. You're the Crown Prince of Tian Qin, right?"

Huo Zhong and Murong Daren were stunned!

Qin Yun shook his head and sighed, "I used to be, but I was deposed later."

Huo Zhong exclaimed, "I remember now! You're Qin Yun, who was suspected of practicing demonic arts and had four spirit veins extracted!"

Murong Daren took a deep breath, "So you only have one spirit vein now? Yet you've reached the Sixth Level of Martial Body and are still so young!"

Qin Yun smiled bitterly, "No choice, I was forced into this. If I hadn't worked hard, I'd be dead by now."

The students here were isolated from the outside world. Only by leaving could they learn about external events; otherwise, they wouldn't be so unfamiliar with Qin Yun's name.

Huo Zhong rubbed his bald head and smiled, "Don't worry. Xie Lao Da also has two spirit veins and is a prince, but he's very powerful now."

Qin Yun immediately recalled the royal family of the Xie clan, a small but strong kingdom.

Suddenly, a bell rang outside, and Murong Daren shouted, "Time to gather! I wonder what news they'll announce. It's usually nothing good!"

"Let's go!" Xie Wufeng walked out with his hands behind his back.

Qin Yun followed behind them.

In the middle of the valley, several groups stood together. Some had over twenty members, while the smallest group was just the four of them.

"Xie Wufeng, congratulations on adding a burden to your team," a haughty man in purple robes sneered.

All the teachers knew about Qin Yun, so the students did too.

"Watch your mouth!" the tall and burly Huo Zhong roared angrily, his voice like thunder.

The man in purple robes jeered, "Didn't you know? This guy named Qin Yun originally had decent potential, but he ruined himself!"

"He originally had a Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul, but a few days ago, it died."

"He didn't tell you about this, did he? He must be afraid you'd look down on him!"

Qin Yun had a Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul, but it died! This revelation shocked Xie Wufeng and the others.

One of the teachers said, "Qin Yun was originally quite strong. He crippled Xiao Lang and Yan Qingyu and killed Qi Xue and Qin Feng. Unfortunately, he wasn't satisfied with his Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul and tried to fuse it with Meteor Fire, causing it to reach its limit and die!"

Xiao Lang and Yan Qingyu were crippled, and Qi Xue and Qin Feng were killed—all by Qin Yun alone!

All the students drew a deep breath. They knew these individuals were highly valued by the Xuan-level Martial Academy.

"Past glory means nothing! His Purple Gold Fire Martial Soul is dead, and without its attributes, it's just stronger internal energy!" a student said.

"Xie Wufeng, with such a burden in your team, you'll never pass the assessment."

"Haha, your team was already struggling with three members, and now you've added another burden!"

Xie Wufeng said coldly, "Enough talk! Shut up or keep barking like dogs!"

His words silenced the students.

The old man in white who had greeted Qin Yun appeared; he was the White Dean of the Three Martial Academy.

He stepped onto the platform and said, "Quiet! Your first team trial begins now. There are many vicious beasts in the Yunlong Mountains. Capturing one earns your team a thousand Profound Points! These points can be exchanged for pills, low-grade spirit artifacts, and cultivation techniques, provided you have enough."

Qin Yun was secretly pleased; hunting vicious beasts was his forte.

The White Dean continued, "You have ten days. The team that captures the most will receive a reward of ten thousand Profound Points. Instructors cannot accompany you, so prepare your storage spirit artifacts!"

None of the students except Qin Yun had storage spirit artifacts.

However, in order for their own teams to win, they reluctantly lent out their storage spirit artifacts.

"Haha, you don't have storage spirit artifacts. With only four of you, how much can you possibly carry!" A student, seeing Murong Daren's grim expression, laughed loudly.

Qin Yun said, "I do have a storage spirit artifact, but it can only hold a bit more than fifty vicious beasts."

Hearing this, the students who were about to mock them all swallowed their words!

A storage spirit artifact that could hold over fifty vicious beasts was significantly larger than the ones their teachers had lent them, which could only hold twenty vicious beasts.

Murong Daren, who had been very worried about this, smiled upon hearing Qin Yun's words. "Little Brother Yun, you handle the storage of the vicious beasts; we'll take care of the fighting!"
