Martial Master

“Defeat Xu Dongsheng?”

The crowd was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, but the smiles were quite strange, seemingly mocking Qin Chen for saying such nonsensical things. “Do you know how powerful Xu Dongsheng is? He broke through to the Nineth Level Martial God realm six months ago, and now, he has probably already solidified his realm and is pushing for a higher level. With your strength, how could you possibly defeat him?” an elder laughed, filled with skepticism towards Qin Chen.

This skepticism was natural. Although Xu Dongsheng was an outsider, his performance within the Ji family was evident; he was undoubtedly the most talented among all outsiders the Ji family had recruited over the years.

In just five years, under the Ji family's training, he had surged from the late Martial Emperor stage to the Nineth Level Martial God realm, surpassing even the Ji family's disciples in cultivation speed.

Not to mention, at least Ji Ruiri could not match Xu Dongsheng's speed in breaking through to the Martial God realm. How could Qin Chen, a half-step Martial God, even think about defeating Xu Dongsheng?

Wasn’t that a joke?

“Listen to me, don’t think about defeating Xu Dongsheng, because it’s impossible.” Ji Daoyuan said faintly.

Even though they knew about Qin Chen's achievements in defeating Mo Qianyu, they still didn’t believe he could pose a threat to Xu Dongsheng. In fact, Ji Daoyuan and the others were aware that Xu Dongsheng had feelings for Ji Ruoyue, and they did not reject this notion either, as Xu Dongsheng's talent was indeed too high. Even the Ji family wanted to nurture him and have him serve the Ji family completely.

“But what if I really can defeat him? If Xu Dongsheng qualifies to enter the ancestral land, then I should be able to enter too, right?” Qin Chen was not willing to give up.

Ji Daoyuan and the others were speechless. How could this kid not understand human language? They had already said he couldn’t possibly defeat Xu Dongsheng, yet he still insisted on dwelling on this point?

“Fine, if you can defeat Xu Dongsheng, we will naturally recommend you for entry.” In the end, Ji Daoyuan had no choice but to agree.

However, Ji Daoyuan showed no signs of being troubled.

Because if Qin Chen could truly defeat Xu Dongsheng, he would definitely qualify to enter the Ji family’s ancestral land. After all, Xu Dongsheng himself was a peerless genius; what did it mean to defeat a peerless genius? Was it to become the master of geniuses?

The Ji family would be more than happy to bring him in and have him enter the ancestral land.

Because all the geniuses who had entered the Ji family’s ancestral land and received baptism would develop a true sense of belonging to the Ji family, serving the Ji family loyally from then on.

The baptism in the ancestral land was said to be a reward, but in reality, it was also a means of winning people over.

“Alright, then wait for my news.” Qin Chen didn’t say much more and turned to leave the conference hall.

“Father, esteemed elders, the child takes his leave.” Ji Ruiri and Ji Ruoxing hurriedly bowed and exited.

“Daoyuan, are you really going to let him leave just like that? That kid has over ten Great Dao fruits on him.”

After Qin Chen and the others left, an elder said solemnly.

“There’s nothing we can do. This person won’t hand over the fruits without seeing Ruoyue, and we can’t just kill him on the spot, can we? This matter is known throughout several states around Jizhou. If it gets out, how can our Ji family maintain our standing in Jizhou?” Ji Daoyuan shook his head. “That’s true, but I sense an elusive power of rules surrounding this person; he should have reached the peak of half-step Martial God, or he wouldn’t have been able to defeat Mo Qianyu from the Mo family. Moreover, he reportedly consumed dozens of Great Dao fruits on Daoshan. It shouldn’t be long before he breaks through to the Nineth Level Martial God realm. By then, he would naturally qualify to enter the ancestral land and meet Ruoyue to hand over the Great Dao fruits.” The elder nodded.
