Martial Master

He Chi Mei is strong and even has the hope of breaking through to the late Heavenly Saint stage in the future, potentially becoming an elder of the Martial Artist Department, a person of real power.

But no matter how strong he is, he is still just a member of the Martial Artist Department.

What about the Holy Son?

Every Holy Son in Tian Gong is a Refiner and needs to possess astonishing talent in the path of Refining to have the possibility of inheriting Tian Gong's teachings.

As a member of the Martial Artist Department, he wouldn’t dare offend a future Grand Master Refiner, and even the elders of the Martial Artist Department wouldn't dare offend a Holy Son from Tian Gong.

“Get lost.”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing Qin Chen's words, Chi Mei stood aside in utmost respect, completely losing his previous arrogance.

“Hurry up and report for me.” Qin Chen said to the steward.

“Yes, yes!”

The steward didn’t dare to be negligent and began processing Qin Chen’s paperwork.

“What? This Qin Chen is the champion of the assessment during Tian Gong's recent recruitment in Yunzhou, and he only just reported today because of personal matters?”

At that moment, a gasp arose in the hall.

Someone had already found out about Qin Chen's news and couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Tian Gong is vast, and many are busy with cultivation, refining, taking on missions, and so forth, so few would pay attention to the newcomers. But as long as someone puts in the effort to inquire, they could easily obtain the information.

Therefore, in just a moment, many people received the news and were nearly dumbfounded.

“This person actually broke the rules of the Tian Gong Refiner Department by failing to report immediately after passing the assessment and instead took care of personal matters first?”

“Earlier in the square, this Qin Chen suppressed one of the three top disciples among the Refiner students, Nan Tianyi of the Nan family, and Feng Liuyun, the young master of Fengyun Pavilion, making both kneel in public.”

“This person was summoned by the Grand Elder, and it’s said that he had a conflict with Elder Yunshi at the Elder's meeting.”

“The Grand Elder personally bestowed the title of Holy Son upon this person, and established him as the chief disciple among the Refiner students recruited by Tian Gong.”

As one piece of news after another spread, the horror in everyone's hearts intensified, and their gazes toward Qin Chen became increasingly wary and solemn.

Suppressing fellow disciples was quite normal; those who entered Tian Gong were all geniuses, and who didn’t have a bit of arrogance? But making two Heavenly Saints kneel on the spot was terrifying.

Moreover, Qin Chen, as a newly promoted disciple, dared to confront the powerful elders of Tian Gong, making him an incredibly arrogant figure.

Most importantly, Qin Chen's identity as the chief disciple was directly related to a quota in Tian Gong.

Hiss!

Everyone's gaze toward Qin Chen changed.

As for the old man Chi Mei, his heart was already so anxious that he could barely breathe.

Offending such a figure, how would a Martial Artist from the Martial Artist Department be able to gain favor in the future?

He had to think of a solution.

With a firm bite of his teeth, he stepped forward: “Holy Son Qin Chen, I had previously offended you. As a token of my apology, this is the Yin-Yang Soul Fire I obtained from killing the Lord of Yin and Yang. Please accept it, Holy Son.”

He raised his hand, and immediately, a flame of dual colors, Yin and Yang, floated out. As soon as this flame appeared, the temperature in the hall dropped slightly, as if alternating between cold and hot.

This flame naturally drew gasps from many disciples present. The Yin-Yang Soul Fire, the treasure of the Lord of Yin and Yang, and this Chi Mei was actually so generous, willing to offer the Yin-Yang Soul Fire as an apology? This was a rare treasure, and Chi Mei himself practiced the fierce fire mystery, making the Yin-Yang Soul Fire of great benefit to him.
