Qin returned to the participant's place together with Guan Xing. He was pretty curious about others' strengths. So, he and Guan Xing watched the battle from the participant's room. Some returned back to the sect while some watched the battles.
The first battle was between two males. One was proficient at the fist battle while another was proficient at the spear battle. The fight didn't last long as the young man with the spear won. The next battle wasn't interesting either.
But, after ten battles, something interesting happened.
In the middle of the ground, there were two men. One of them held the spear while another had nothing in his hand. But, Qin noticed something.
The man who had nothing in his hand was shaking a little. This man was nearly five feet six inches tall. He had a slender body and tender white skin. He looked a little weak as well. His name was Guo Min.
'Is he afraid of battle?' Qin asked himself as he looked at the man with confusion.
But before he could get an answer, the man with the spear suddenly sprinted forward. At this moment, Guo Min trembled and moved to the right. Although he was shaking, only Qin noticed it. In others' eyes, he was calmly moving to the right, dodging the spear.
At this moment, Guo Min suddenly touched his waist. There was a dagger hanging on his waist. His hand trembled so much that he dropped the dagger on the ground.
Whoosh!
But, Guo Min didn't hesitate to pick up. While he crouched down, the spear slashed above his head. He didn't even see the spear and talked to himself.
'What the hell is happening? I thought I was ready. Why am I shaking so much? Come on Guo Ming, you are at the ninth stage as well. Don't fear anything! Raise your arm and show your dominance.'
Guo Min shouted to himself and raised his hand. At this moment, the man with the spear had his head just above Guo Min's left fist.
Bang!
Guo Min fist struck that man's head. That man flew up in the sky and landed a few meters away from Guo Min. When Guo Man stood up, his eyes fell on the man lying on the ground. He looked at his fist and blinked twice.
'I did it. I hit him. Now is my chance.'
Guo Min shouted to himself and rushed towards the man. But just when he reached near the man, he stumbled on the spear and rotate. His body fell towards the man. He reacted and pulled his forearm towards his head.
"Ahhh!"
Guo Min fell to the ground as his elbow struck that man's little brother. When the man felt the pain, he couldn't help but scream and fell unconscious.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to fall in there." Guo Min immediately rose to his foot while hundreds of man put their hands above their little brother. They could feel the pain from that scream.
Although Guo Min apologized, it didn't work. The man was already unconscious.
"Winner of the eleventh battle, Guo Min!"
One of the elders landed on the ground, nearly Guo Min, and shouted. A smile appeared on Guo Min's face as he walked to the man lying on the ground. He turned his head at the elder and spoke "Elder, I will take the senior brother to the participant's room."
"Good, good!" When he heard Guo Min's words, he couldn't help but praise Guo Min. Not a single winner had helped the loser after the battle. He even forgot about Guo Min's vicious attack.
At this moment, Guo Min raised that man's hand on his shoulder and walked away. But, when the man stepped forward, he stopped at the end of the spear. This caused the front of the spear to rise.
Bang! Crack!
The front part rose and struck the elder's balls. At this moment, the elder's expression completely changed. He didn't even know what just happened. But, he didn't scream, or rather he couldn't even scream.
At this moment, Guo Min walked away without knowing what he did.
"This guy is amazing. I have never seen some so gracefully doing things. And, the aura he carries is amazing. But, those two last actions were kind of unexpected." Guan Xing stared at Guo Min with seriousness in his eyes and spoke.
'He didn't notice?' Qin suspiciously stared at Guan Xing and asked "He did drop the dagger, didn't you see it?"
"Of course, I see it. It seemed like he had already expected his opponent's next move. He dropped the dagger as an excuse to dodge the attack and then he attacked his opponent with a surprise." Guan Xing nodded his head and explained.
"You didn't see his hands trembling?" Qin asked suspiciously after hearing his words.
"What do you mean, Brother Qin? When he did tremble?" Guan Xing looked at Qin with confusion and asked.
'Something is wrong. He was trembling as if he was totally afraid. That's why he dropped his dagger. A man who is in the middle of the battle will never drop his dagger unless he is scared. More importantly, I don't think those last two moves were intentional.'
'He stumbled upon the spear but his rotation made it feel like he used this move intentionally. Then, when that man stepped on the spear, it wasn't his intention either. Something is wrong here. First, he is scared. Second, he seems to be bringing bad fortune to others. Third, he seemed to have some kind of illusion around his body that only he could see or probably only a few could see through.
It doesn't seem to be related to his strength since Guan Xing was also unable to see it. It must be something else that granted him the ability to see through him.
No matter the reason, Guo Min did gain his attention.
Afterward, there were a few battles that stood out in his eyes while most of them were simply disappointing. Another battle that made him slightly interested was that bulky man battle. This guy's name was Wu Sen.
It turns out this guy was the grandson of Elder Wu but this guy seems to have hatred against those who use their relationship. Digging his history deeper, Qin found this guy was abandoned by the family at an early age due to his low talent.
It turns out the city lord was the head of the Wu family. Although Wu family isn't the top family-like three families, it still had few people that could make massive changes like City Lord, his right-hand man, left-hand man and Elder Wu.
His father was the city lord's brother. But, his talent was a lot worse. The cold war between the brothers wasn't a secret to others. When Wu Sen lost to the city lord's son, his father abandoned him, not giving him any resources or support.
From that moment, he started hating those people who jump high because of their backgrounds. Qin was surprised that Guan Xing knew so much about Wu Sen. But, it turns out Guan Xing wasn't the only one. Lots of other disciples also discussed Wu Sen with them as well.
Qin was quite fascinated by interacting with other disciples. While talking with each other, one of the disciples suddenly asks.
"Brother Qin, I heard you were the servant of Tan Family. Is that true?"
When he asked, everyone gave him a glare. Everyone in the room knew Qin's identity. It was no longer a secret. But, they were confused about how a talented person like Qin become a servant of the Tan family. It turns out Tan's family had completely blocked his past information.
This made him quite thankful to the Tan family. After all, he doesn't want other people to know about his past.
Qin suddenly laughed "Hahaha! You are right. I was a servant of the Tan Family. In fact, if I hadn't discovered my talent for cultivation, I wouldn't have escaped from the Tan family."
"Oh! But, why did they take down the bounty on you?" The same disciple curiously asked. This question made others curious as well.
"Because I am a genius. Let me ask you if they don't succeed in killing me, would I let them live?" Qin answered and then asked.
"I understand." The disciple nodded his head and slightly backed down. At this moment, Qin suddenly spoke "Brother, can I know your name?"
The disciple got slightly shocked but he maintained his calm personality and answered "My name is Tan Ge."
When he revealed his name, other disciples looked at him with surprise. Most of them didn't know him. And, those who knew him weren't part of this group.
"Oh! But, I am sure that I didn't see you in the family." Qin suspiciously looked at him and asked.
"Brother Qin, we can talk about this alone, can't we?" Tan Ge smiled and answered. This was quite a secret so he didn't want to reveal this to others.
"Alright!" Qin nodded his head and turned around. At the same time, the referee elder shouted.
