Martial Master

As soon as Zuo Wei's words fell, everyone was taken aback.

What Zuo Wei said was not without reason.

One must understand that any major power is extremely concerned about the protection of its disciples. If Qin Chen truly came from a power that surpasses the Hundred Dynasties, how could he only have a peak initial stage Martial Venerable by his side and no stronger experts?

Even the princes like Zhou Xun and Xia Wushang from the Great Zhou and Great Xia Dynasties, when moving through the Hundred Dynasties, would have peak mid-stage Martial Venerables for protection.

In comparison, while the black slave was Qin Chen's servant, his strength was looked down upon.

"Hehe."

Hearing this, Qin Chen suddenly scoffed, his eyes fixed on Zuo Wei, filled with mockery.

That gaze was high and mighty, as if a divine dragon was looking down on ants, filled with disdain and contempt, as if to say, this person is simply an idiot.

"What kind of gaze is that? Have I exposed you, leaving you speechless?!"

Zuo Wei was furious.

As a master of formations at the initial stage of the sixth level, being the highest in formation mastery on the scene, when had Zuo Wei ever been looked down upon like this?

Even the prince Zhou Xun from the Great Zhou Dynasty had to respectfully call him “Master” when facing him. Qin Chen's gaze was indeed impolite.

"Just an idiot, knows nothing and talks nonsense. I think the one truly making a big fuss is you, right?"

"What did you say?" Zuo Wei was enraged, his aura suddenly erupting, his eyes fierce.

"You brat, do you dare speak to Master Zuo Wei like that? Seeking death?"

"Show some respect to Master Zuo Wei."

It must be said that there are many people who love to flatter. Some martial artists, upon seeing Qin Chen insult Zuo Wei, immediately jumped out, sternly rebuking, as if they themselves had been insulted.

After all, Master Zuo Wei was the strongest formation master present, and if one wanted to decipher the center of the Black Death Swamp ruins, even the princes of the two great dynasties would have to rely on Master Zuo Wei.

"Isn't that so?" Qin Chen scoffed softly, "Who said one must have powerful followers to call it training? That is the thought of you commoners from remote areas. A martial artist can only grow after experiencing life and death. Real prestigious families use extremely cruel methods to temper their heirs."

"If having top-tier experts around who can slaughter anyone counts as training, then what kind of training would that be?"

"Moreover, although there are no powerful experts by my side, once you attempt to kill me, the martial arts avatar lurking within me will naturally act to slay you."

Qin Chen spoke confidently, calm and unperturbed.

"Martial arts avatar?"

Zuo Wei was momentarily stunned; what was that?

The others also looked perplexed, filled with doubt.

"Ha!"

Qin Chen chuckled, even too lazy to explain.

That kind of disdain and contempt made Zuo Wei feel an unprecedented humiliation, almost driving him insane.

In fact, even the black slave was confused; he hadn't heard of a martial arts avatar before.

Yet, acting was natural, and he raised his head high, looking down disdainfully.

"You mean to say you actually have a martial arts avatar?"

It was the holy maiden who exclaimed, looking at Qin Chen in surprise. Previously indifferent to everything, her eyes were now filled with astonishment.

The middle-aged woman beside the girl also looked startled.

"Elder Gu Yue, what is this martial arts avatar?"

Seeing that these two seemed to know, a nearby martial artist immediately inquired.

The middle-aged woman Gu Yue replied solemnly, "A martial arts avatar is a clone of will created by a strong person using their martial arts will, implanted into another's body. It is often used on one's descendants. Once the descendants face life-threatening danger, this martial arts will can be activated in an instant, transforming into the avatar of the strong person to slay the opponent."

"And what’s even more frightening is..."

Gu Yue's face was filled with seriousness, "Only a strong person of at least the eighth level Martial Emperor can use a martial arts avatar because a martial artist can only condense their martial arts will into a tangible form and integrate it into their bloodline once they break through to the Martial Emperor realm, evolving the avatar."
