CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 205: EXTORTION, QIN ZI BREAKS THROUGH

"Ding! Your son slapped Celestial Crane and Luminous Jade in the face, automatically topping up 23 points of Father Value. Your current balance is 68.6."

The system’s voice came late.

Qin Chuan noticed that this damn system was now becoming increasingly polite to him, commonly using "You" as a form of address.

Sure enough, the system also bows to the rich!

At this moment, after a brief silence, the elders of the Shattered Star Academy all looked coldly at Qin Chuan.

That Elder Houtu said, stern but lacking confidence, "Are you sure... you want Qin Zi to break through to the second Heavenly Layer here? Aren’t you afraid he won’t make it out?"

"You have to think carefully, if your son dies here, you won’t even have a chance to avenge him, otherwise... the bacon hanging at the gate for ten years will be your example!"

In Qin Chuan’s mind appeared an image of that bacon—it seemed small, probably because it was air-dried.

Perhaps, this is the reason the Lu Family wanted to reclaim that piece of bacon, after all, it exposes the family’s secret.

"You don’t need to scare me with that bacon, to be honest, I am... different from him."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

He had substantial resources and was very confident!

Don’t misunderstand, he was talking about Father Value, he now had ample Father Value, high skills, and courage to match.

"Fine! Since Elder Qin Chuan has said so, then we have nothing more to persuade. Let Qin Zi break through the second Heavenly Layer; although it requires a huge amount of resources, our Shattered Star Academy... can afford it!"

Finally, an elder with black horns said coldly, then turned away.

Seemingly going to make preparations.

Forcibly helping someone improve their cultivation requires a vast amount of resources, and... it’s not cost-effective.

Because once you reach the Celestial Saint level, your lifespan is long, and you don’t lack time at all. A few years are like a gift, and exchanging a massive amount of resources for a breakthrough a few years early is definitely a huge loss!

Two days later.

The Shattered Star Academy prepared a Spirit Pool filled with potent Spiritual Energy, a pitch-black cauldron filled with red magma, and a pit embedded with many blue Crystal Stones.

What exactly was special about these things, Qin Chuan did not know, but just from the densely packed blue Crystal Stones, one could see some clues—they were Law Crystals!

The cauldron and the Spirit Pool must also be items of the same grade as the Law Crystals, invaluable.

"This... they’re not trying to harm me, right?"

Qin Zi shrank his neck involuntarily as he looked at the big black cauldron filled with magma.

Because he could feel that it wasn’t ordinary magma, a lot of additional materials must have been added, and the temperature had reached a terrifying level, easily turning him into a roast pig if he’s not careful.

"They wouldn’t dare."

Qin Chuan said calmly, then added, "Besides, with your father here, who can harm you?"

Wow!

The Demon Race elders nearby frowned upon hearing this arrogant remark and then showed a "Wei Xiang"-style sneer.

Really full of bullshit!

But in such matters, they couldn’t really say anything—people blowing their own horn, and if you take it seriously, it only shows you can’t take it.

"Then I’ll go in."

Qin Zi took a deep breath, trusting his father, and plunged headfirst into... that Spirit Pool.

Of course, choosing the softest target first!

To break through to the second layer is too difficult, you must approach it from energy, physical body, and Law comprehension. The Spirit Pool supplements energy, the magma cauldron refines the body, and the Law Crystal aids in understanding the Power of Law.

Soon, three days passed.

"Boom!!"

A beam of Law light shot up from the pit, shattering many blue Crystal Stones, flying out like glass shards, reflecting light under the sun.

"He’s broken through!"

"Damn it, he’s finally broken through!"

"He’s done for, I swear, he’s done for!!"

The disciples of the Shattered Star Academy clenched their fists one by one, even shedding tears of joy.

This shameless human, bullying demons too much!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Almost instantly, over a dozen youthful figures came whistling from all directions, they were all second-layer prodigies of the Demon Race!

Shattered Star Academy gathered the prodigies of the entire Broken Star Demon Realm, how could it lack geniuses?

For every small stage of the Celestial Saint’s nine small realms, there’s a large group of prodigies, and the higher up you go, the more dazzling they are, because many reach maturity late, shining brightly later in life!

Of course, most Saints of the ninth and eighth Heaven are struck down by the Emperor Tribulation, only a minority can get through it.

"Human, how do you want to die?"

A red-haired young man, floating in mid-air in feathered robes, looked down at Qin Zi, speaking coldly.

Over a dozen second-layer Demon Race geniuses formed a "人" shape, and he stood at the forefront.

"It’s Senior Brother Zhu Huang!"

"Great, Senior Brother Zhu Huang has been in the second layer for years; his grasp of Law and body are honed to perfection. I heard he’s planning to head to Purple Cloud Academy to block the door!"

"Senior Brother Zhu Huang is sure to suppress this person!"

The disciples of the Shattered Star Academy were excited, praising fervently, unaware they were jinxing it.

"Are you going to make a move?"

Qin Zi slowly floated up from the pit, smirking as he looked at this arrogant red-haired youth.

At this moment, he glowed with green and blue lights, representing wood and water, mutually reinforcing, forming a cycle of Power of Law rotating outside his body.

"For you to make a move, are you worthy?"

Zhu Huang smirked indifferently, then calmly turned his head, calling faintly, "Xiu Nian."

Instantly.

A mildly fat, yellow-haired youth swaggered out, his shoulder-length hair swaying as he walked, eyes carrying an habitual frivolity and disdain.

"Xiu Nian of the Golden Giant Ape race, rumored to have unmatched brute strength, rough and thick skin, and his body is comparable to Senior Brother Zhu Huang!"

A disciple forcibly explained.

At this instant, this yellow-haired youth moved, his right foot stepped into the void, shaking the sky, then his entire body was covered in an earthy-yellow light, diving down in a Tiga transformation style.

"Annihilation Celestial Strike!!"

He roared, his body rubbing against the air, igniting flames all over, his clothes reduced to ashes in an instant, golden hair on his body growing wildly, transforming into a Golden Giant Ape.

Such a massive creature using a descending punch, the oppressive force was terrifying.

Even before he landed, the terrifying airflow beneath Qin Zi’s feet cracked and collapsed the ground within three meters.

This ground was made of special materials, and even many Shattered Star Academy disciples couldn’t damage it at full strength, showing its hardness. This also showed how terrifying this strike was.

The next moment, the Golden Giant Ape crashed to the ground!

Yet, at the moment he hit the ground, Qin Zi leaped in a flash, stomping him down as if skateboarding.

"Boom!!"

The ground shook violently, stones flying, the floor of the square being completely penetrated, the Golden Giant Ape’s upper body sunk directly underground, leaving only its butt clenching like a seesaw in the air, feet struggling.

"Ah!! You..."

A hysterical roar came from underground, golden flames burned on the Golden Giant Ape’s surface, muscles bulging rapidly, its legs landed, back arching slowly as if to pull itself out from underground.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

However, Qin Zi stomped continuously, the ground violently trembling, waves of impact spreading with splintering flames.

The Golden Giant Ape twitched a few times, then went still.

"Now, do you say whether I’m worthy or not?"

Qin Zi stepped on the limp body of the Golden Giant Ape, looking up at Zhu Huang like an ant on an elephant.

"Ding! Your son slapped Golden Giant Ape Xiu Nian in the face, automatically topping up 20 points of Father Value, current balance is 88.6."

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan received another system notification.

He chuckled, then looked around at the iron-faced elders of the Shattered Star Academy, saying, "Gentlemen, do you dare bet with me?"

Wow!

Instantly, the elders’ eyes turned keen, as if wanting to tear him to pieces.

"Humph, do you think your son, just breaking through the second Heavenly Layer, can keep blocking the door? Be careful not to celebrate too soon!"

The Elder Houtu snorted coldly.
