Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1005 - The Thirteenth Person

“What’s he doing? Trying to fight with a stick?”

Song Dong and his crew opened their eyes wide.

The geniuses on the dojo were stunned too.

Following this, Qin Nan began to move. The Beast-Hitting Stick in his hand struck ferociously at the three beasts.

At that instant, a strange scene took place. The ancient Monarch Arts that the three beasts had executed instantly disappeared. Their figures froze in the air, unable to move.

“You…AH!”

Song Dong and his crew were dumbfounded. As they were trying to speak, the Beast-Hitting Stick landed on their bodies, causing them to cry out in agony due to the piercing pain.

At that instant…

In addition to the geniuses, even the person in the black robe was dumbfounded.

Qin Nan was only a fifth-layer Martial Progenitor ranked three hundred and first on the Monarch Ranking. How was it possible for him to suppress the three geniuses with a stick?

As the thought crossed the crowd’s minds, Song Dong and his crew collected their thoughts, their eyes filled with shock and embarrassment.

“Qin Nan, die. I won’t believe——”

The three beasts had just opened their bloody mouths when the Beast-Hitting Stick was swung in their direction once again.

BANG BANG BANG!

Following a series of smacks, the three beasts were knocked backward like three little children without any way to defend themselves. Their cries of agony left the crowd speechless.

A while later, the three beasts were knocked back to the dojo, their figures trembling. The previously murderous look in their eyes had been replaced with terror.

The others might be unaware, but they clearly knew that they were unable to control the force in their bodies when the strange stick was nearby. They could not even move their bodies.

The dojo fell into a dead silence, such that even the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be heard.

No one would expect the three hundred and first ranked Qin Nan would possess such a terrifying strength.

“What…what stick is that?” The person in the black robe blurted out.

Even he was clueless about the stick’s background.

The other geniuses stared at the Beast-Hitting Stick with hints of curiosity and greed as they recovered from the shock. At the same time, they were intimidated too.

“It’s just a normal stick.” Qin Nan said calmly.

Hearing this, everyone could feel their lips twitching, including Song Dong and his crew who were lying on the ground. action

“HAHA, it’s fine if you’re not willing to tell me. I won’t force you. I have to say, you did well, as talented as I was back in the day.” The person in the black robe laughed, “You can proceed to the next round after stepping into my body.”

Following this, his chest turned into a black vortex.

Qin Nan turned around and glanced at Chen Buhui and the others.

“Kid, go inside first. There’s only one person that will advance to the next round. The others will be going to a different place.” The person in the black robe said.

“Sure.” Qin Nan transmitted his voice to the others before stepping into the black vortex.

The two hounds and one mouse, Xiao Hong, and Chen Buhui would not have any trouble looking after themselves.

“Sigh!”

“Who would expect Qin Nan to possess such a powerful artifact!”

The crowd let out a sigh. They never thought the Qin Nan whom they had looked down on would come first in the trial.

“Although he’s the only one advancing to the next round, those who come to me earlier will be teleported to places filled with better rewards.” The person in the black robe said calmly.

As soon as he finished talking, the two hounds and one mouse, Chen Buhui, and Xiao Hong immediately sprang toward him.

The other geniuses were started too, causing the entire dojo to be filled with the glows of Monarch Arts.

…Meanwhile, at the third-layer of the Half-God Tomb…

The place was an ancient altar, with thirteen cylindrical formations on it. Currently, the first twelve formations were occupied consecutively.

The cultivators were Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, the three Martial Monarchs’ sons, the mysterious genius of the God Ranking, and six other fifth-grade Tian ranked geniuses ranked in the top fifty of the Monarch Ranking.

“Huo Wulong, shouldn’t you know the rules?” Dao Qianzhong said.

“Brother Dao, I don’t know what you’re trying to say.” Huo Wulong smilingly replied.

The eyes of Dao Qianzhong and the others became colder.

Although their statuses were comparable to the three Martial Monarchs’ sons, they now had a mysterious genius of the God Ranking supporting them.

“Where is this thirteenth person? Are the geniuses of the Middle Continent that weak, taking so long to pass the second trial?” The genius of the God Ranking suddenly snapped impatiently, as a formidable monarch aura was unleashed from his body.

Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and the others remained silent.

At that instant, the thirteenth formation emitted a glow.

The crowd immediately glanced in its direction.

“I’m not sure who this thirteenth person will be.”

“I believe Ling Wuzi has a great chance of taking it. You know how capable he is.”

The geniuses began to discuss among themselves.

The eyes of Dao Qianzhong and Hua Dichen flickered.

After all, the succession of the Half-God Tomb was at stake, thus it would be better if the last person turned out to be their ally.

“I didn’t see Song Dong and his crew around, and the others didn’t bump into him either. They must be taking the trial somewhere else. If that’s the case, one of them should be able to make it…”

Hua Dichen pondered as his lips curled upward.

According to his speculation, it was highly possible that the last person was someone from the Dragon Emperor Clan!

Following a whoosh, a figure began to appear on the formation in front of the crowd.

As Hua Dichen took a closer look, his smile froze as his eyes widened.

In addition to him, the rest of the geniuses were dumbfounded as well.

What was going on?

Why was Qin Nan the last person?

He was only ranked three hundred and first on the Monarch Ranking, a great difference when compared to the other geniuses. How did he pass the trial?

The three Martial Monarchs’ sons were stunned too. They had no idea who Qin Nan was, but he somehow felt familiar to them.

“Mm?” Qin Nan checked his surroundings and raised his eyebrow. He glanced toward the genius of the God Ranking after being aware of something.

The genius of the God Ranking let out a cold harrumph, his eyes filled with disdain.
