With this thought, the two no longer hesitated.
Tapping their feet lightly, they immediately joined the battle between Qin Xuan and Hu Sanqiang.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan cried out that it was unfair, but his movements were not slow at all.
He changed his fist into a palm, deflecting Hu Sanqiang's face-slapping attack, then formed a hand seal with his left hand, instantly unleashing two spells, heading straight for Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing.
Seeing this, the two dared not slacken, and also attacked Qin Xuan's spells with all their might, only to find that the spells appeared powerful on the surface but actually had no power.
"Good boy, you dare to fool your master again?!"
"Take this!"
With Qin Xuan's trick, Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing couldn't help but smile knowingly, their negative emotions vanishing.
Forming hand seals and chanting incantations, they vowed not to stop until they had thoroughly thrashed Qin Xuan!
The battle continued until dusk.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators, despite unleashing all their energy, could not truly defeat Qin Xuan.
Instead, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor, who had joined in the middle to sneak attack Qin Xuan, was once again hit in the backside by Qin Xuan's punch, losing all face.
"Senior Hundred Ghosts, I really didn't mean to!"
"You don't know the situation back then!"
"It was a moment of extreme danger!"
"If you hadn't blocked my punch with your backside, I could have forced my second master back another thirty meters!"
Damn it!
Do you think I wanted to block it?!
Seeing the aggrieved expression of the Hundred Ghosts Emperor, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
However, Qin Xuan suddenly bowed deeply to the Hundred Ghosts Emperor with a serious expression.
"Senior Hundred Ghosts, the more my cultivation advances, the more I realize how much strength you held back during our first encounter."
"But not only did I not stop in time, I also did something insulting to you."
"Now that everyone is here, I solemnly apologize to you and hope you will not hold it against a junior like me."
As Qin Xuan said, the higher his cultivation, the more he understood the gap in strength between different levels.
Even when he used the acupuncture technique, his strength was only at the level of a Grandmaster.
But the Hundred Ghosts Emperor was already at the peak of demigod at that time.
Logically speaking, a peak demigod defeating a Grandmaster should be effortless.
But the Hundred Ghosts Emperor had repeatedly held back and did not truly go for the kill.
Of course, Ke Wudi and the other three masters also played a role in this.
But this still showed that the Hundred Ghosts Emperor himself was not a cruel and bloodthirsty person.
Therefore, it was only right for Qin Xuan to apologize for his past insults.
The Hundred Ghosts Emperor himself waved his hand, indicating that he no longer cared about those things.
"Being able to achieve that level is your ability. Although it was somewhat insulting to me, it was understandable from your perspective as you considered me a mortal enemy at the time."
"Although I, the Hundred Ghosts Emperor, am not a gentleman, I have my own principles of conduct."
"Let's not mention this matter again. You don't need to have any psychological burden."
...
After the sparring with Qin Xuan, Ke Wudi and the other three returned to their respective homes to digest their gains from the day.
Although they had finished their pills and their cultivation had temporarily stabilized,
through the sparring with Qin Xuan, everyone had gained new insights into the application of their newfound level of power.
Furthermore, cultivation was not just about continuous advancement; it also required sufficient time for consolidation and adaptation.
Therefore, they did not keep Qin Xuan, but instead informed him to meet at Long Shou's place tomorrow.
Qin Xuan had no particular interest in Long Shou initially.
After all, no matter who the leader was, all he could do was obey the higher authorities and follow Long Shou's orders.
However, this time was different.
Because judging from the reactions of his grandfather Qin Shoujiang and his three masters, this Long Shou seemed to have some connection with them.
It made sense.
Being able to advise Long Shou to let him use national treasury resources for his cultivation was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Moreover, Qin Xuan had not yet made any significant contributions to the country commensurate with his strength.
However, Qin Xuan had some likely explanations in mind.
The most reasonable one was that he would become a Dragon Country Supreme, revered by thousands, just like his three masters.
After all, Qin Xuan's strength had already surpassed that of his three masters.
If such talent could not be firmly grasped, then this Long Shou would be too short-sighted.
"I only hope that the work assigned to me will be a little less, and the benefits a little more."
"Also, I don't mind fighting, but please don't make me manage so many things like my masters..."
After indulging in some solitary fantasies, Qin Xuan returned to the Qin family courtyard with Qin Shoujiang.
Qin Shoujiang immediately returned to his room to research future developments, leaving Qin Xuan bored on the sofa.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan received a message on his phone.
Liu Qing, who had been in a coma in the hospital room, had just slowly opened her eyes under everyone's gaze.
Upon seeing this, Qin Xuan rushed to the hospital, and Yuan Mengqi, Li Qingwan, and others had already arrived at Liu Qing's ward.
"Are you really General Qin?"
Although there was still a seven or eight-tenths resemblance, Yuan Mengqi and the others could no longer be sure if the person in front of them was Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan at this moment was too perfect.
Even the hospital nurses, who were secretly looking at Qin Xuan's face, bumped into the doorframe.
"Of course, it's me."
"A mere Qin Xuan, what's there to impersonate?"
Seeing their shocked gazes, Qin Xuan couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
In the past, he had longed to be handsome, to be so handsome that all the women in the world would fall for him.
But now that he had become so perfect, he found that being handsome brought too many troubles.
If he could not control his face and change his appearance at all,
he would definitely revert his appearance back to before he took the Soul Nourishing Pill!
Pushing through the crowd, Qin Xuan slowly approached Liu Qing, who had just woken up.
Seeing him, Liu Qing's pretty face blushed, and she shyly covered herself with the quilt.
When she was unconscious, she wasn't completely unaware of the outside world.
The thought of Qin Xuan massaging her meridians and invigorating her blood at that time made her want to find a hole to crawl into.
However, she had to admit that she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Qin Xuan.
If it weren't for him, she might have left this colorful world long ago.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have seen that there were so many people in the world like herself.
After a moment of silence, Liu Qing still mustered the courage to face the man who had saved her.
The entire hospital ward was instantly filled with benevolent laughter.
