Returning to the Book Collection Pavilion once again, Qin Tian's goals were now clearer.

He was determined to cultivate the most formidable cultivation secret manual and to test the maximum potential of his cultivation!

Of course, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see if the mysterious blood pearl was secretly aiding his cultivation.

The highest level cultivation secret manuals on the first floor were One-star Upper Grade. There weren't too many, but not too few either; Qin Tian found around a dozen after walking around.

Based on his previous cultivation experiences, he knew that cultivating a One-star Upper Grade manual would take one month per book.

However, Qin Tian didn't want to waste the chance to borrow books, so he decided to pick another non-cultivation book, perhaps on alchemy or artifact refining.

"This one, Bone Breaking Palm, ruthless enough!"

"Bone Breaking Palm," a One-star Upper Grade cultivation secret manual, where True Qi becomes the blade; one palm can chop a tree, crack a stele, and crush human bones. Extremely vicious!

After browsing it briefly, Qin Tian decisively chose to cultivate Bone Breaking Palm, and then he selected a book on planting Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass, and approached the registration counter.

At this moment, there were two people in line borrowing books at the registry counter.

Qin Tian queued up modestly behind them. When it was finally his turn, he handed the books to the elder in charge of registration and said, "I'm borrowing these two books."

The registration elder picked up the books, glanced at them, and laughed, "Spiritual Grass Planting Techniques, haha, this book is quite suitable for your cultivation level, hmm..."

However, when he put down "Spiritual Grass Planting Techniques" and saw the other book, the registration elder clicked his tongue instantly, glaring at Qin Tian, "Kid, you sure think highly of yourself, don't you? Cultivating 'Bone Breaking Palm'? A One-star Upper Grade manual, and you want to try it? Hmph, you're really something!"

Qin Tian didn't want to talk much, and said impatiently, "Elder, just register them, what books I borrow is my business."

Upon hearing this, the registration elder was a little displeased, snorted coldly but said nothing more, and prepared to register.

"I'm borrowing this book."

As the registration elder was about to register "Bone Breaking Palm," a voice suddenly interrupted. Then, an arm reached out from the side, blatantly ignoring Qin Tian, and grabbed the "Bone Breaking Palm" book.

Qin Tian frowned, turned his head, and saw two people—Hou Jin and a young man in his twenties dressed in white!

Seeing these two, Qin Tian's frown deepened instantly.

Meanwhile, Hou Jin watched from the side with schadenfreude, clearly indicating that the two of them didn't appear here by coincidence.

"Elder, please register, this book is mine."

The young man in white spoke arrogantly and indifferently.

The registration elder glanced at Qin Tian, chuckled, and with a gloating expression, said, "Alright, Huang Wu, I'll register it for you."

"This book is mine to borrow first."

Before the registration elder could register it, Qin Tian spoke coldly.

"You haven't registered it, how can it be yours first?"

Hou Jin stepped forward, glaring at Qin Tian, "Kid, you're just a Left Pulse's slave dog. When you see someone from the Right Pulse, why aren't you obediently making way? Daring to compete with Brother Huang for a cultivation manual? Hmph, I was busy earlier, but now that I'm free, I'll make you repay Li Yun's brother's debts twice over these days!"

This time, Hou Jin and Huang Wu had specifically come to deal with Qin Tian.

"The book is mine first. You cannot take it!"

Qin Tian didn't waste words with Huang Wu and Hou Jin, repeating himself with firm resolve.

Of course, he also knew that Huang Wu was likely a helper Hou Jin brought from the Right Pulse to deal with him.

Huang Wu sneered, "Hmph, you say you borrowed it first, so it's yours? Here, you're just a dog, your words don't count!"

After saying that, Huang Wu turned his gaze to the registration elder, asking, "Elder, according to the Book Collection Pavilion rules, what happens if two people want the same book?"

"Fight to determine the winner. Strength speaks."

The registration elder, with a tone as if watching a show, naturally understood the meaning behind Huang Wu's words.

"Alright then, let's follow the rules, whatever it takes."

After speaking, Huang Wu looked at Qin Tian sarcastically, "So, are you going to compete with me, or just leave now?"

"Hmph, if you want a fight, I'll oblige!"

Unyielding, Qin Tian answered coldly.

Though he couldn't discern Huang Wu's exact level of cultivation strength, judging from the aura from this person, even if Huang Wu's cultivation was higher than Qin Tian's, it wouldn't be by much.

Currently, after a month of cultivation, Qin Tian had made some achievements in True Qi Six Explosions and was on the right track with his cultivation. He was almost like a whole new person.

So now was the perfect time to test his combat power after the transformation.

"Hahaha, very good. There hasn't been a single fight over a book in the Book Collection Pavilion this year, so you guys start off! I'll be the referee, come with me!"

The registration elder, who was originally displeased with Qin Tian's indifferent attitude towards him, was now quite looking forward to seeing Qin Tian get beaten, seeing how Huang Wu from the Right Pulse was going to bully him.

He arranged for another elder to take his place and guard the place, then led Huang Wu and Qin Tian outside to the plaza.

At this moment, outside the Book Collection Pavilion, there were already about twenty people gathered, most of whom were disciples of cultivation, both from the Right Pulse and Main Vein, having rushed out from the Pavilion upon hearing the commotion.

"Haha, I've heard the Left Pulse took in someone new, a slave, is that him?"

"Yeah, that guy's name seems to be Qin Tian, a slave. Tsk tsk, what's Left Pulse's Qiao Zheng's taste anyway, daring to take in such a lowly slave…"

"That's typical of the Left Pulse. What I'm curious about is, did that slave Qin Tian really dare to borrow books from the Pavilion? From what I remember, aside from that beauty Qiao Wenxuan, everyone else from the Left Pulse gets bullied every time they come, right?"

"Hahaha, that's not the point. The point is, did you see, this guy dared to contest a book with Right Pulse's Huang Wu. He's courting death. Although Huang Wu's not eye-catching in Right Pulse, handling a small slave like him should take just one hand, don't you think, hahaha…"

Seeing Qin Tian standing in the middle of the plaza, mocking and disdainful voices echoed from the onlookers, who held nothing but contempt for him.

Outside the watching crowd stood a man and a woman on a balcony about ten meters from the plaza, also quietly observing Qin Tian and Huang Wu.

One of them was Cao Lin, and beside him, the woman in green clothes was his senior sister, Zhao Hanshuang.

"Was it him who killed Junior Brother Li Yun?" Zhao Hanshuang asked coldly, her beautiful face as icy as her name.

Cao Lin nodded, "Hou Jin says he saw it himself, so it should be true. Last month, I was too busy to deal with this brat, so now, Hou Jin and Huang Wu will openly deal with him on the Main Vein's territory. The Left Pulse and Qiao Zheng will have nothing to say, just swallow it in silence! Hmph!"
