Chapter 67: Dragon Elephant Shocking Waves!

Crack!

Song Ci, who had just relaxed, felt his heart leap to his throat in an instant, and the chair armrest beneath his palm was already covered in cracks.

His eyes stared wide and round.

If it weren't for Song Tianhao watching him from the side, he probably couldn't help but strike out and kill the Qin boy on the spot.

In just one month, from Inner Strength Great Success, he trained to Inner Strength Transforming into Qi...

What kind of concept is this?

Simply unheard of, unseen before!

Such a monster must either be taken for one's own use or utterly destroyed.

Otherwise, once he grows up, he will become a nightmare for this branch of the Song family.

Song Tianhao's face was calm as an ancient well, but his heart was likewise stirred by surging waves and shocking tides.

Know that three days ago, when he fought Qin Shuo, the latter showed no sign of Inner Strength Transforming into Qi, yet now he has already entered this realm.

Moreover, from the gold and white qi in his opponent's hands, the quality is extremely solid, surpassing even Tian Bai's inner qi.

"Just what kind of freak is this?"

Song Tianhao felt fortunate that he had placed his bet on this boy.

With such progress speed, plus the upcoming training in the Yuan Magnetic Grotto, he fears it won't be long before the opponent enters the Tongmai Realm and stands on equal footing with him.

At that time, with the opponent and Song Yan's relationship,

their direct line will gain a young ally with hopes of reaching the Condensing Truth Realm.

For Song Tianhao, who now stands alone holding up the heavens, this is nothing short of sending charcoal in the snow.

Roar!

Longxiang roared, the gold and white gases merging.

A domineering, oppressive pressure instantly spread from Qin Shuo's palm.

The loud dragon chant and elephant cry seemed to explode beside everyone's ears.

In a daze, people seemed to see a golden dragon stretching across the nine heavens, baring fangs and brandishing claws; a white elephant as great as heaven stamped its feet, shaking the earth, as if it would crush people's hearts and spirits.

Longxiang converged, golden body shaking the mountains!

Qin Shuo, with the cultivation of Inner Strength Transforming into Qi, unleashed this, its power more than double that of Yuan Gang's initial display.

"Die for me!"

Tian Bai roared in anger, his aura rising another notch.

Although he too was shocked that Qin Shuo had actually reached the Inner Strength Transforming into Qi realm, at this moment, the arrow is on the string and must be released.

He must defeat Qin Shuo to prove his worth to the Second Elder's lineage.

Otherwise, his coming days will certainly not be easy.

Not only will he lose the chance to train in the Yuan Magnetic Grotto, but he will also lose the strong support of the Second Elder's lineage.

Without these, how can he press Song Yan's noble head beneath him? And how can he rely on the Song family to soar to the heavens?

Bang!

The two clashed palm to palm, neither willing to yield, both wanting to suppress the opponent with the strongest posture.

The air seemed to be blown up, emitting a muffled thunder-like explosion.

In that instant, people seemed to see a golden dragon stretching across the heavens to still the sea, and a white elephant stamping the earth to subdue the waves.

Crack!

A crisp bone-breaking sound echoed in the hall, making everyone's scalp tingle.

The next moment, Tian Bai flew out like a broken kite, heavily smashing into the ground, blood spurting wildly.

His right hand suffered a comminuted fracture, the entire arm hanging limp like a rag, his face as pale as paper.

The heart-piercing pain twisted his face, his eyes red like a beast's, staring fixedly at Qin Shuo, filled with pain and killing intent.

"You lost!"

Qin Shuo's indifferent voice echoed through the hall.

Only then did everyone seem to wake from a dream, turning their heads to look at him, filled with shock, incomprehension, and even reverence.

No one expected this outcome.

Even Song Tianhao, who had initially favored Qin Shuo, was now filled with shock.

Strong!

Too strong!

As fellow masters of Inner Strength Transforming into Qi, Tian Bai, in the opponent's hands, was as fragile as paper, unable to withstand a single blow.

Know that Song Ci, to deal with Fang Lin of the Fang family, had invested heavily in Tian Bai, not only providing various elixirs but also personally giving him pointers to help him comprehend the Surging Waves Divine Intent.

Such treatment, even Song Ci's direct grandson Song Shan had never received.

Yet this very talent, whom they had regarded as a trump card and painstakingly cultivated, was simply blown apart by Qin Shuo with a single palm.

How could they possibly accept this?

A tremendous sense of upheaval shook their spirits, and the Second Elder's lineage remained unable to recover for a long time.

Especially Song Shan, who had always taken Tian Bai as his idol, now felt as if the heavens had collapsed!

He had admired his cousin for over a decade, only to see him crushed by a country bumpkin.

Does this not mean that these aristocratic youths are not even equal to a country bumpkin?

"Cheating! He must be cheating!"

Song Shan broke down, shouting in disbelief.

He felt Qin Shuo must have done something; otherwise, how could he so easily defeat Tian Bai?

"Idiot!"

Song Yan glared fiercely at this cousin of hers, her voice cold: "If Qin Shuo is cheating, would your grandfather just stand by and watch? If you can't win, you can't win—what excuse are you looking for?"

Afterward, she straightened her back, full of confidence, and looked toward the Second Elder and Song Tianlin, saying: "The outcome is decided—do you still have anything to say?"

Pa!

The armrest of the chair beneath Song Ci's hand was completely crushed.

His face darkened terrifyingly, like a ferocious tiger about to devour someone, his eyes locked fixedly on Qin Shuo, with killing intent fully exposed.

Years of planning, gone in an instant.

Even though Song Ci is old, cunning, and deep-minded, he could barely suppress his fury at this moment.

"Good, good, good—Family Head really found a good helper! Excellent!"

Song Ci said "good" three times, his eyes sinister and vicious, like a venomous snake ready to bare its fangs at any moment, making people fearful just to look at him.

Song Tianlin beside him also had a face as still as water, with killing intent boiling in his heart.

Tian Bai's crushing defeat not only burned their lineage's Earth Cave plans to ashes.

More importantly, Qin Shuo, as a helper of the direct line, will inevitably become a major threat to their branch once he grows up—someone who could replace the main line.

"This child must not be kept; once this Earth Cave matter is settled, let him disappear from the prefectural city."

Song Tianlin hardened his heart, resolved to act against Qin Shuo, and would not give him any chance to keep growing.

"Cough, cough."

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the arena, Song Chun, acting as a peacemaker, coughed twice and spoke firmly:

"Since Qin Xiao Xiongdi has won, then for this Earth Cave contest, let him represent our Song Family in battle. If he wins, the quota shall be his to use."

"Hmph! That's about right."

Song Yan let out a cold snort, yet inwardly breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Finally, the Earth Cave quota was still won.

This way, Tian Bai would need at least half a year or more to break through to the Meridian Passage.

During this time, if Qin Shuo can break through to the Meridian Passage, then I would have the confidence to propose calling off the engagement at the family meeting.

After all, Tian Bai's father is only just entering the Meridian Passage himself.

With Qin Shuo's potential, once he enters the Meridian Passage to support me, even the Elder Council would have to consider it carefully.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on Song Yan and the Third Elder.

Tian Bai, who had been silently healing his wounds, suddenly flashed a ruthless look in his eyes.

The next moment, he shook his left hand, and three blue-glowing poison needles shot out, straight toward Qin Shuo's face.

"Country bumpkin, go die for me!"

Tian Bai looked like a madman, his eyes filled with red bloodlines, his viciousness fully exposed.

Just a poor country bumpkin—he not only stole his Earth Cave opportunity but also broke one of his arms; he deserves to die ten thousand times over!
