Outside the Book Collection Pavilion, the registration elder scanned the disciples observing the duel, and said loudly:

"Right Pulse disciple Huang Wu, Left Pulse disciple Qin Tian, both have set their eyes on the same book today at the Book Pavilion. As per the old rules, they shall duel for the book; winner takes it!"

The registration elder was entirely in a spectator's mindset and said, "Let me first announce the dueling rules. No weapons, no poison, no Hidden Weapons. Stop at first touch, no lethal acts, or I will intervene to clear personal grievances! You both understand?"

Huang Wu nodded: "Elder, it's not that complicated. Give me three minutes, and I'll have him down."

Without changing his expression, Qin Tian remarked calmly, "Understood, feel free to bring it on."

"Good, everyone here will be witnesses. Qin Tian, rest assured, I guarantee a fair competition, and should you lose, you'll have no complaints."

The registration elder, full of smiles, waved his hand: "Duel for the book, commence now!"

With the elder's call, the previously noisy crowd instantly quieted down.

The crowd automatically cleared an area for Qin Tian and Huang Wu.

"Kid, you asked for this!"

Prompted by Hou Jin, Huang Wu didn't say much more. He pursed his lips and suddenly launched Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain with his right hand, aiming directly for Qin Tian's collar!

Clearly, this brat wanted to catch Qin Tian off guard, drag him out, and embarrass him publicly!

However, Qin Tian was prepared and didn't evade. Instead, he charged his fist directly at Huang Wu's palm!

This move was also meant to probe Huang Wu's capability.

Slap!

The fist and palm collided, neither moved an inch.

However, after this attack, the expressions on their faces were vastly different.

Qin Tian showed a contemptuous look; with this move, he confirmed Huang Wu's cultivation level as Qi Refining Late Stage, on par with his own. This was the perfect chance to test the techniques of True Qi Six Explosions he had been cultivating!

On Huang Wu's side, his face showed shock, eyebrows furrowed, and he glanced sideways at Hou Jin, whispering, "Hou Jin, didn't you tell me he's Qi Refining Middle Stage? How in the world is he at Qi Refining Late Stage!?"

Hou Jin spread his hands, looking innocent: "Last time he really was Qi Refining Middle Stage, I don't know what's going on, like seeing a ghost..."

"Darn it, so what if it's Qi Refining Late Stage? I've been at Late Stage for two years, taking him down is the same!" Huang Wu spat angrily.

At this point, the people around were all murmuring with a mix of surprise and mockery.

"Haha, Left Pulse disciple, aside from Qiao Wenxuan, there's another cultivator above Qi Refining Late Stage, quite the joy."

"A slave with such high cultivation?"

"Odd, I heard Qin Tian only joined Left Pulse two months ago."

"I finally understand why Uncle Qiao recruited a slave; turns out this slave has a foundation in cultivation, haha."

"What does a foundation matter? This level of cultivation is still negligible; Qiao Wenxuan doesn't even bother, as for him? He'll soon learn of the disgrace and harshness of being a Left Pulse disciple!"

Amidst the ridicule, Cao Lin in the distance showed a trace of surprise in his gaze, whispering to Zhao Hanshuang, "Strange, a month ago, I saw him fighting Li Yun, clearly only at Qi Refining Middle Stage..."

Zhao Hanshuang said, "Qi Refining Late Stage is nothing to be surprised about. Look at his age; if he truly had cultivation talent, he should have long since reached Primordial Pill Stage. But now he's still lingering at Qi Refining Late Stage, doomed to be worthless!"

Zhao Hanshuang was the proud daughter of the Qilin Mountain Sect Right Pulse Law Enforcement Elder and always aloof.

She glared at Qin Tian with contempt and said, "A slave joining our Qilin Mountain Sect, only Left Pulse Qiao Zheng could do that, utterly disgracing the three sects of Qilin Mountain; regardless of life or death, this Qin Tian cannot remain! He cannot continue to be the synonymous shame of Qilin Mountain Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Lin lowered his voice, "Junior sister, you should know better than me, it's not just this slave Qin Tian; ultimately, the entire Left Pulse will cease to exist."

"Take my strike!"

In the middle of the square, Huang Wu adjusted himself, shouted fiercely, and lunged two palms at Qin Tian!

This strike was several times stronger in True Qi Power than the previous!

However, upon seeing Huang Wu's desperate attempt, Qin Tian felt delighted; if he was going all out, it was an opportune moment to practice!

Timing Huang Wu's approach, Qin Tian murmured the Mnemonic, directly launching True Qi Six Explosions.

Upon witnessing Qin Tian's pre-explosion stance, the registration elder, Cao Lin, Zhao Hanshuang, and several disciples who had practiced True Qi Six Explosions all froze their eyes in unison—

Could this… this brat be using True Qi Six Explosions!?

Simultaneously, the crowd unanimously underestimated this.

However, by this time, Qin Tian was already fully empowered, the move of True Qi Six Explosions was nearly fully executed, and it was getting faster!

The elder initially doubted Qin Tian's cultivation of True Qi Six Explosions, but now looked somewhat dazed: "Has this brat really practiced it? To what level?"

"Ha, you're practicing True Qi Six Explosions, overestimating yourself, asking for a beating!"

Seeing Qin Tian's move, Huang Wu also recognized its familiar stance; he had practiced it before but hadn't mastered it.

Thus, upon seeing Qin Tian execute the move, his anger surged!

Swish swish swish!

As Huang Wu's move unfolded, amidst the crowd's focused gaze, Qin Tian's True Qi Six Explosions move also completed.

Once completed, the consecutive explosions of True Qi ensued, which prompted the crowd to watch more closely.

Bang!

Bang!

In the crowd's gaze, around Huang Wu's body were two consecutive explosions, in shock he reacted quickly, narrowly dodging them.

Two explosions!

The crowd was dumbfounded!

It was well known, even within Right Pulse and Main Vein, there weren't many who could train True Qi Six Explosions to reach two explosions!

"Haha, even if you've cultivated two explosions, it's no big deal! Even I practiced True Qi Six Explosions before; one explosion is stronger than the next! But with your level, this is it!"

After the shock, Huang Wu scorned Qin Tian disdainfully for missing the two blasts.

But as soon as he spoke, suddenly he felt a mysterious surge gathering at his rib sides!

Not good!

Instinctively shouting, Huang Wu was just about to evade when he heard two crisp and shockingly loud sounds—

Bang!

Bang!

Another two explosions! True Qi Four Explosions!

Huang Wu was completely unprepared; his rib sides were bruised blue all over! The whole person couldn't resist anymore, and he sat on the ground, utterly defeated!

Arrgh!

Instantly, an array of gasps filled the square!

Silence reigned!

In their eyes, a slave, an unremarkable Left Pulse disciple, left them all speechless, chills running down their spines!

Nearby, the registration elder who had just seen Qin Tian's move clearly was completely frozen in shock, his voice trembling:

"This brat... really... really cultivated True Qi Four Explosions!?"
