Chapter 221

Countless examinees showed envious expressions, even jealousy…… thinking Qin Yu merely had a good father.

Especially this year, several seed contestants from Sichuan Province, coming from Rongcheng No. 1 High School and Rongcheng No. 2 High School, plus a few second-tier martial artists from other regions.

They have gathered together at this moment.

Their faces were unsightly.

They even sneered: "Qin Yu's current achievements aren't thanks to his own ability but to his father's support; without the various resources of Great Xia saving him, he would have died long ago in the Eastern Hospital."

"How could he possibly have such fame today?"

"Moreover, his father used his power to have the martial artist legion of the Sichuan underground escort him; this is purely an abuse of privilege, and if it gets out, Professor Qin's character will be criticized."

Everyone held a breath of resentment in their hearts, very dissatisfied, but could only vent it in private.

You should know, Qin Yu had always been obscure, except that a month ago the identity of Qin Shangwu was revealed—he is one of the main personnel of the Great Xia Research Institute.

During this month spent lying in the hospital, who knows if he took some top‑grade divine medicine, which allowed him to erupt, activate his potential, and become a third‑tier martial artist.

"That's right—don't even talk about us geniuses of this tier; even if it were the top universities of the Imperial Capital and Magic City, students who reach third‑tier martial artist in the grand exam could not achieve this level."

"What's more, there's even a Martial Saint's heir—Li Ziye messaged me a few days ago asking me to investigate Qin Yu; I found his strength has surged wildly in this period, utterly exaggerated, definitely from taking divine medicine."

"A month ago he still had only 100 units of Qi and blood; after lying in the hospital for so long, in just a few days he actually broke through to third‑tier martial artist and could even burst forth with the strength of a fifth‑tier martial artist?"

"Normal cultivation could never make that happen!"

Upon hearing this, the several second‑tier martial artist geniuses of Sichuan Province all nodded, thinking it made perfect sense.

Li Ziye enjoys an extremely high status among his peers; he has the teachings of his Martial Saint father, is cultivated with various top‑tier resources, and even before entering a tier he underwent three rounds of bone‑tempering.

His Qi and blood can be called extreme.

Yet Qin Yu managed to break through to 3,100 units of Qi and blood?

Or in just a few short days?

Who would believe it?

There must be something fishy about it.

At that moment, a man wearing a tactical vest beside them, his face firm, slightly raised his eyelids and shouted.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense; Qin Yu is at least our Sichuan Province's top talent, and when he goes out, people from other regions will look up to us."

"Whether it's divine medicine or whatever, Qin Yu being able to obtain it is his own ability."

"From today onward we'll go our separate ways, but we'll still be fellow countrymen; in the future we can still band together for warmth. Do you really think Martial University and your expectations are that simple? Once you enter, will they really give you the treatment of heaven's chosen ones?"

His face was icy, extremely dissatisfied.

Before today, he was the number‑one genius of Sichuan Province, Chen Xi.

In his sophomore year of high school he broke through to second‑tier martial artist, and now he is only a step away from the third‑tier realm.

A few days ago, all the examination personnel of the Chen family gathered together; originally an ordinary person, Chen Zirui suddenly rose to become a second‑tier martial artist and received strong support within the clan.

Originally their relationship was already decent, and now it has naturally become even closer.

Chen Zirui simply mentioned a few things about Qin Yu, which shocked Chen Xi so much that he would casually give out hundreds of millions of resources to his classmates?

Even he couldn't do that.

Whether in conduct or vision, Qin Yu made him deeply admire him; moreover, there were some internal messages that even the Chen family had never known, and the great upheaval in Sichuan that day originated from Rongcheng No. 3 Middle School.

However, all that information was completely sealed off; no clan could know it.

Chen Zirui didn't reveal much, merely stating that the Nanshan Medical Clinic and Qin Yu are inseparable.

Furthermore, the Divine Doctor Yan initially went to support the scene on his own.

Chen Xi then made up his mind and warned the clan's examination personnel and the younger generation of disciples not to provoke Qin Yu.

If they provoked retaliation, the Chen family would simply stay out of it.

Now these former friends, slandering him like this, have left him feeling dissatisfied.

Seeing the Chen family's eldest son speak, the others eventually chose to stay silent, daring not to say more.

But one of them, a flash of ruthlessness crossed the depths of his eyes.

Because he had received orders from the helm‑master to incite these people to develop ill will toward Qin Yu, so that… when the beast tide erupts in the trial grounds, as long as these Sichuan geniuses are unwilling to rescue,

even if the heavenly king himself came, Qin Yu would have to die here!

By then, his own ranking could advance even further.

He glanced sideways at Chen Xi, killing intent surging deep within: "Since you're on good terms with Qin Yu, then when the beast tide comes later, I'll lure some ferocious beasts to attack you."

The higher the rank, the greater the chance of receiving tilted resources from the top Martial University.

He was born into the Evil God Sect from childhood, but resources were scarce; sending him to university was precisely to obtain Great Xia's resource backing, become a high‑level figure, infiltrate the interior, and in the future better overthrow Great Xia!

Under the escort of thousands of martial artist troops, they have now arrived at the trial grounds of the final great exam.

A region stretching over a hundred li, countless ancient trees towering, seeming to possess a faint spiritual aura, appearing extraordinarily remarkable.

Inside are all kinds of ferocious beasts baring fangs and brandishing claws, resembling cattle and sheep, or tigers and lions, but their bodies are extraordinarily evil, shrouded in a blood‑slaughter aura, their expressions murky, lacking spiritual intellect.

At this moment Qin Yu's heart felt a bit surprised, because…

In the underground, what floats between heaven and earth is spiritual energy!

However, at the entrance of the passage it is not obvious, and one cannot feel it.

But as we go deeper now, we can faintly sense it.

However, compared to Cangyuan Jie, it is diluted by thousands or even hundreds of times, negligible.

"No wonder the beasts in the underground, even those without a tier, can casually tear apart human soldiers; the reason is this…"

Those who live year‑round in a world of spiritual energy, even if they never cultivate, their bodies receive nourishment, becoming many times stronger than ordinary people.

Furthermore, the beasts in the underground are like gu insects, fighting day and night, so their growth is naturally rapid.

Beasts without strength can only become nourishment.

This results in the high‑tier beasts among them being extraordinarily strong.

Even a warrior of the same realm would find it hard to contend.

Unless there are numerous methods, one can achieve balance.

Gazing at the boundless cavern world, Qin Yu fell into deep thought, as if… it's somewhat troublesome; even if everyone practices martial arts, but in the future wanting to sweep through the cavern's ferocious beasts, it's still very difficult.

The places where the two sides are located are not on the same level.

Now, we can only take it step by step.

No wonder my father, after venturing deep into the cavern, had an extremely solemn expression, his brow filled with worry.

"Young master..." Just then, a weak voice echoed in Qin Yu's mind.

Azure Green Tree, awakened.
