After coming back to his room, he found Yu Tan was cultivating. He didn't disturb him and disappeared. When he disappeared, Yu Tan opened his eyes and looked at the door with confusion.
"I was sure master entered the room. Did he leave after entering the room?"
But, he didn't think too much. Qin had asked Yu Tan to enter the Qi Condensation Realm. Thankfully, Yu Tan cultivated a lightning element. He had a few Lightning Essence Stones and the comprehension of Lightning Element. So, he gave it to Yu Tan. He wrote his comprehension on the paper and gave it to him.
Inside the mysterious space,
Qin stood in the middle of the forest. He wanted a complete silence for his swordsmanship practice and a lesser distraction. He held his sword hilt and unsheathed it. He couldn't block his physical strength but he could make some restrictions.
He restricted using more strength than his cultivation strength. He had to swing his sword with the restricted force which teaches him control.
After knowing what to do, he continued swinging his sword. He had two major goals. Use a sword to pierce the rock and use the sword to cut all of the leaves of a tree. That means he must comprehend Hard attributes and Soft Attributes to the higher.
But, he didn't restrict himself to these two attributes. He also planned to train his Power Attribute and Speed Attribute. Once he improves all of these, his other goal would be to improve his Sword Belief. That means he must train with grass or a branch as a sword.
On the first day, he comprehended the Hard Attribute and Soft Attribute, pushing his sword energy to the sixth stage.
On the second day, he comprehended the Power Attribute and Speed Attribute, pushing his sword energy to the seventh level.
On the third day, he trained with a branch and slashed the tree.
On the fourth day, he trained with grass and slashed the tree.
On the fifth day, he trained the Undying Sword Technique. He finally understood why this technique was called the Undying Sword Technique. It was all about creating undying sword energy.
Once Undying Sword Energy is formed, it will never disappear even if it is used continuously. But, it will only be activated whenever the person is in danger. Of course, for this sword energy to be undying, the creator mustn't die as well.
On the sixth day, he trained his Ruthless Sword Dao technique. He trained how to merge his killing intent with the sword energy. This sword technique was completely contradictory to the Supreme Way of Sword.
So, he encountered some troubles while training with this. Because Supreme Way of Sword asks him to infuse sword belief in everything but this technique asks him to merge the killing intent with his sword energy and increase his power.
This time he didn't choose to follow the Supreme Way of Sword. Simply because this sword technique was created by someone else who goes with a different ideology. And, there will always be a clash between ideologies.
So, he trained it as it was mentioned.
On the seventh day, he finally came out of the mysterious space. Originally, he almost forgot the tournament. But, Yue Bin reminded him on time.
He appeared just in front of the door while Yu Tan's eyes were still closed. As he appeared, he opened the door and closed it.
"Master," Yu Tan opened his eyes and looked at him with shock. He didn't even sense how Qin appeared but he did hear the door sound. That made him confused even more.
"Good, you have finally reached the Qi Condensation Realm. By the way, there is something that I wanted to talk about with you." Qin nodded his head and walked in front of Yu Tan. He extended his hand and formed a sword in his palm.
It was a red sword. Seeing this sword, Yu Tan looked at Qin with confusion.
"You should know your position, right? I can't trust you. So, I will put this in your body only then I can trust you. Of course, you can still refuse and leave. After all, you are now Qi Condensation Realm cultivator." Qin explained while moving to the side.
At this moment, Yu Tan's eyes shrunk. He had already expected this. But, he relaxed a lot since Qin didn't mention this before. But, now that he had mentioned it, Yu Tan hesitated a little. He was a Qi Condensation Realm and now this gave him the confidence.
But, when he remembered his uncle's words, his eyes shrunk. He knew he can't face those people. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will never leave master's side."
"Alright, just don't reject it!" Qin was ready to kill him any moment. After all, if it was before, he wouldn't have taken the risk but now he must kill him because this guy can share his information which would be pretty bad especially in his current condition.
Although this contradicts his ideology, sometimes people should take some step back and think about their ideology. His ideology only applies to women especially those who enter in a relationship with him, not his subordinates. But since he chose to stay, Qin didn't do anything.
He moved the sword energy to his body. The sword energy slowly clashed with his skin and entered the body through the forehead. It entered the space inside the forehead which is his consciousness.
As the sword entered his brain, Qin found a strange sensation in his brain. He could feel the sword energy inside Yu Tan and even manipulate it. This means he can kill him once he betrays him. Of course, if he wants to leave, Qin won't do anything to him.
That's his bottom line. Once you leave, you can never return and have no connection with him. And, this applies to both women and men. After that, he stared at Yu Tan and said "Go to the Sky Treasure House restaurant. You will find a few ladies there. You will get your instruction from them."
Qin had no intention to let him live in his room. Yu Tan nodded his head and walked out with him. At this moment, the disciple mansion was quite empty. He knew most of the disciples had moved to the Arena where the competition will start.
Qin bid farewell to Yu Tan and walked towards the arena. He didn't find Yue Bin on the way. But, he spotted Guan Xing. When he noticed Guan Xing, he also noticed his cultivation. Just like him, Guan Xing was also hiding his cultivation at the ninth stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.
"Brother Qin, it's been so long." Guan Xing also spotted Qin and dashed towards him. They greeted each other with a bow and smiled.
"Brother Guan, have you registered for the competition?" Qin asked curiously, treating him as a normal person. Because he still hasn't received any information about Guan Xing. Of course, the main reason is still due to the constant training but he wasn't even called by those maids.
So, he found Guan Xing quite mysterious.
"Yes, I have already registered. Let me take you to the place." Guan Xing smiled and nodded his head while leading him to the crowded spot. It was outside the arena. This arena was a big stadium, able to accommodate thousands of people. It was outside the sect boundaries.
But, the registration was still inside. The registration place was quite crowded so they had to wait for a few minutes.
"Boy, do you remember me?" The bulky man walked in front of Qin and smashed his fist and palm together while speaking. He was none other than the same person who tried to bully Qin when he first arrived.
"Who are you?" At this moment, Qin was truly confused. He didn't even recognize this man. After all, he had many things to remember. How can he focus on everything?
"Boy, it seems you truly want to act huh. Survive till the second round and I will show you the pain of a common person." The bulky man clenched his fist and turned away. But at this moment, Qin suddenly remembered him.
"Ahh, you are that guy."
Qin instantly walked in front of the bulky man and patted his shoulder.
"You finally reached the ninth stage of Qi Gathering. That's good! I always feel good when a hard-working person is rewarded. Don't worry, you will do great in this battle."
But, at this moment, he puts his hand on his shoulder and burst the killing intent. This killing intent was so sharp and invisible, except Guan Xing and the bulky man, and the elder at the registration, nobody noticed.
"Don't mess with me!"
Qin walked away with a big smile on his face. When Guan Xing saw his expression, he frowned. The bulky man trembled for a moment but quietly walked away. For a moment, he sensed an intense killing intent. It was so powerful that he couldn't even look at Qin.
This was the result of his training. After training with Ruthless Dao Sword Technique, he was finally able to control his killing intent perfectly.
"He is not a bad person." Guan Xing murmured as he looked at the back of the bulky man.
