Chapter 40: The Trendsetter

Above the attic, the incense burner in front of Qin Yi was wreathed in smoke.

Her gaze was calm, and the expression on her face was unreadable.

"How does it feel?"

"Quite strong, but very ordinary," Miss Jia sighed. "Heize could beat them all single-handedly."

"They are, after all, only ordinary people; it is just that their bloodlines are somewhat different," Qin Yi sighed.

"The Sanji Sect and Bagua Sect that fought this time originated from the Great Cang over a thousand years ago.

At that time, these two factions were considered the top powers of the era.

The members of both possessed power that surpassed that of ordinary mortals.

They were known as Extraordinary Persons, and even Heize would not be a match for them in a single exchange."

Qin Yi said slowly.

Miss Jia felt a slight displeasure in her heart.

In her eyes, Heize's image was towering, and his power was extremely great.

Even later on, when she met many masters of traditional martial arts,

she felt that none of them could compare to Heize.

Heize was a powerhouse in a league of his own.

Qin Yi smiled: "Extraordinary Persons can no longer be called human.

Heize is just an ordinary person, so naturally, he cannot compare to them."

"Heize... is it possible that he is also not a mortal?" Miss Jia still held hope in her heart.

Not having seen Heize for the last time remained a thorn in her heart.

"Absolutely impossible," Qin Yi said with certainty. "With the fall of the Great Cang, there is no longer a trace of Extraordinary Persons in this world."

Over these thousand-plus years, she had seen too many extraordinary people.

But those who could truly be called Supernatural only appeared during the time of the Great Cang.

Unfortunately, at that time, she had gone overseas and did not experience that period of history.

By the time she returned, the world was already under the Huang surname, and the traces of Extraordinary Persons had long since vanished.

Even if someone mentioned them, it was treated as a Mythical legend, and the world had returned to normal.

Qin Yi could not help but have the figure of that young man appear in her mind.

Unfortunately, time was too distant, and she could not remember that person's appearance at all.

However, that person was absolutely the most special person she had ever encountered in her life.

No less than Qin Kuan.

"Why did the Extraordinary Persons disappear?" Miss Jia asked.

"I don't know," Qin Yi shook her head.

She was not clear about that period of history either.

Extraordinary Persons were like a flash in the pan, leaving a mark in history.

Unfortunately, looking back today, people would only think of them as knight-errant biographies or Mythical legends; no one would take them seriously.

"However, there are still some special people in this world.

For example, Xueyan's clansmen have always had bones that are different from others, being extremely light.

If I am not mistaken, she possesses the bloodline of the Qingyu Sect from among the original Extraordinary Person factions."

Back then, after returning to the Daxia Clan, she had been searching for traces of the Extraordinary Persons.

Especially that one person, but unfortunately, she could not find any traces at all.

In the end, she found the lineage of the Qi surname.

Over these thousand years, she had often looked after the Qi Family.

"Speaking of special, the two of us should be the most special people in this world, right?" Miss Jia's expression was complex, her gaze deep.

"Perhaps, in a while, we won't be anymore." Qin Yi sniffed the mist drifting from the incense burner, revealing a hint of obsession.

Miss Jia did not speak again.

Indeed, the Longevity Pill was not a true Longevity Pill.

It would not be long before she and Qin Yi would truly be annihilated by the passage of time.

This world, perhaps, would also return to normal because of it.

It was just a pity that she had not seen Heize for the last time.

"Do you think that Lin Chao might also have the bloodline of an Extraordinary Person?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.

Miss Jia was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"Xueyan's natural talent is extraordinary, but she did fall from the third floor, and at that time, Lin Chao was five or six meters away from Xueyan.

As a result, he still caught her, and was completely unharmed.

An ordinary person could not do such a thing.

Even these masters of traditional martial arts would find it very difficult to do so."

Naturally, Qin Yi had carefully investigated the scene at that time.

She also sensed a trace of the extraordinary in Lin Chao.

"If it is only this, it actually doesn't count for much," Miss Jia said.

In a thousand years of time, what had they not seen?

"Also... I cannot see through him," Qin Yi suddenly said leisurely.

Miss Jia's body stiffened, then relaxed: "It seems he is very extraordinary."

Qin Yi took the Longevity Pill, and her body mutated to possess many abilities.

These abilities are very strange, very ethereal.

For example, Qin Yi can occasionally see the life trajectories of some people.

That is why she told Qi Xueyan that she would be able to meet someone who could change her life trajectory.

"Indeed, those whose life trajectories I cannot see are highly likely to be rich or noble in the future, the trendsetters of the era."

Qin Yi was merely speaking casually.

There is more than one trendsetter of the era.

Although extraordinary, it means nothing to him.

"Lin Chao!" Qi Xueyan had an excited expression on her face.

She did not expect to meet Lin Chao here.

"Qi Xueyan, why are you here?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned; he looked at Qi Xueyan in front of him, then inadvertently looked up and saw a woman in a black veil on the pavilion.

Qi Xueyan must have come down from the pavilion.

This woman in the black veil seems to be that woman from the Dahuang Mountain Range.

According to Zhao Xiaoyi, she is a member of the Jia Family.

Does Qi Xueyan know her?

Of course, these are not the main points.

Who Qi Xueyan is has nothing to do with him.

As long as she is not his daughter, it is fine.

"I came here to watch the martial arts competition," Qi Xueyan said, her voice very excited.

"The competition between those martial arts halls?" Lin Chao did not expect that this martial arts hall competition could attract so many people.

"Yes," Qi Xueyan nodded, "They are in the traditional martial arts circle, competing for the title of Boxing King, and their level is very high."

"Indeed," Lin Chao nodded.

Relatively speaking, that Xiaorou's strength is already quite good.

For an Ordinary person, having this kind of strength can be said to be very difficult.

It requires not only diligent training but also talent.

"Why didn't you keep watching and ran over here?" Lin Chao said casually.

"It's over," Qi Xueyan said, her face brimming with excitement, "That senior sister of the Sanji Martial Arts Hall is truly amazing."

"It's a pity that her junior brothers and sisters were not strong enough and were eliminated too much; she defended the ring alone, but ended up being defeated by people from the Bagua Martial Arts Hall who took turns entering the ring."

"So that's how it is," Lin Chao understood.

On the high-speed train, Xiaorou had once mentioned the Rule.

Each martial arts hall sends seven people to fight one-on-one.

The loser leaves the field, and the winner defends the ring.

Then, the losing side continues to send people to challenge.

Therefore, even if Xiaorou is the strongest, if she does not have the strength to sweep the entire field, it is possible for her to exhaust her stamina and fail to stay on the field.

At this moment, Qi Xueyan's phone screen lit up.

Qi Xueyan looked at the message and showed an apologetic expression: "Lin Chao, I'm sorry, my aunt is urging me; I have to catch a flight to Cangxi City, I'll treat you to a meal next time."

"Alright," Lin Chao replied calmly; suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Are you going to the Dahuang Mountain Range?"

How could he not, Cangxi City has become completely popular in Daxia, and many people have already gone there for tourism.

Even before Heize's remains were discovered, there were already people with the surname Hei fabricating genealogies, claiming to be descendants of Heize.
