Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1007 - Soul-Hooking Pond

Although the twelve geniuses had purposely concealed their strength, the battle was still spectacular as the Monarch Arts collided with one another.

Even Qin Nan could not help but utter his compliments, as his blood began to boil.

The outcome was soon decided. The genius of the God Ranking claimed two of the golden coffins. Dao Qianzhong and Hua Dichen each claimed one, while the rest shared the last one.

“The geniuses of the Middle Continent aren’t too bad after all.” The genius on the God Ranking gave Huo Wulong one of the coffins and said. Even though he was still as proud as usual, his eyes were no longer filled with disdain.

“That’s surely over-complimenting.”

Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and the others could not help but admit that his strength was truly terrifying.

As for Qin Nan, it was as if everyone had entirely forgotten about his existence.

BANG.

At that instant, following a rumbling noise, the huge golden wall sculpted with countless spiritual figures began to shatter on its own, revealing a passage leading into the dark.

“Come.”

The genius of the God Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, and the others immediately went forward.

Qin Nan calmly followed behind the group.

After walking for a while in the passage, the sound of running water could be heard in front. The geniuses gathered their focus and slowed down their pace. A while later, they finally managed to get a clear look.

It was a serene pond, blue in color. To everyone’s surprise, the water was flowing in an upward motion, completely defying the laws of nature.

“The Soul-Hooking Pond!” The genius of the God Ranking was astounded, “Damn it, why is the Soul-Hooking Pond here?”

Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and the others were startled too.

“The Soul-Hooking Pond? According to the rumors, even peak Martial Progenitor Realm experts would not dare to enter it. Otherwise, their soul and Martial Spirit would be hooked away by it…” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.

He had learned the information from the All-Knowing Scroll.

“What should we do now? Should we work together to try advancing past it?” Huo Wulong suggested.

The other geniuses hesitated. The Soul-Hooking Pond was extremely dangerous, thus their only choice now was to work together.

Suddenly, a squeak could be heard from the pond, catching everyone’s attention. It turned out to be a boat rowing toward them, which eventually arrived before the geniuses.

“This boat is able to resist the Soul-Hooking Pond? Mm? There are thirteen handprints on the boat?”

The genius of the God Ranking said after glimpsing at the boat.

Thirteen handprints?

The crowd was stunned. Didn’t they have thirteen people in total as well?

The genius of the God Ranking placed his hand on one of the handprints, causing it to emit a faint glow, “Come and put your hands on it too.”

Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, Huo Wulong, and the others immediately followed.

When twelve handprints were lit up, the crowd finally realized something and glanced in Qin Nan’s direction.

“Come, put your hand on it.” The genius of the God Ranking said in a commanding tone.

Dao Qianzhong and the others had earned his approval, but that did not mean this Qin Nan was included too.

Qin Nan ignored his attitude and placed his hand on the handprint as he stepped onto the boat.

Following this, the ancient boat began to float upward, following the flow of the water.

“Hehe, Junior Brother Qin Nan, not that I want to point it out, but you didn’t join the battle just then. Could it be that you’re waiting for us to injure one another so you would be the biggest winner? That’s not a very good idea.” Hua Dichen’s eyes flickered as he said in a calm tone.

As a matter of fact, now was the perfect opportunity to knock Qin Nan into the Soul-Hooking Pond, which would turn him into a soulless zombie even if he were not killed in the process.

However, he could not do it, as the Dragon Emperor Clan would find it out very soon. Therefore, he had decided to sow dissension instead.

Dao Qianzhong, Huo Wulong, and the others were startled.

Even though Qin Nan’s strength was weak, it did not mean that he would not strike when they were in danger.

“I’m too weak to compete against you…” Qin Nan said with a frown.

“Hehe, enough with the bullsh*t. Leave the boat right now if you want to protect your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.” Huo Wulong snapped with a firm attitude.

“That’s right, leave the boat now.”

“Qin Nan, you should leave.”

The other geniuses said.

They clearly knew that Hua Dichen was trying to use them to eliminate Qin Nan, thus they preferred to chase him away now.

Hua Dichen frowned slightly. It was not easy to trick these geniuses either.

He had to find some way to let them do the dirty work for him.

Qin Nan wore a calm expression.

Without him, the others would not be able to activate the boat either. However, that was no longer their concern, as getting rid of him meant one less competitor.

“If I don’t quit now, they would surely attack. Should I really fight them with my true strength? We’re on the Soul-Hooking Pond, if a battle took place, it’s highly possible that…” Qin Nan quickly pondered to come up with a plan.

However, at that instant…

“What a waste of time!”

The genius of the God Ranking uttered the words coldly as he opened his hand, which emitted a terrifying glow. It transformed into a giant punch that fired in Qin Nan’s direction.

The attack alone was enough to eliminate a ninth-layer Martial Progenitor.

At the last moment, Qin Nan’s eyes widened as he raised his left arm to defend himself.

BANG!

An explosion took place.

Qin Nan’s figure was sent flying back into the dark passage like an arrow being fired.

The eyes of the geniuses on the boat glistened, as they never thought the genius of the God Ranking would attack without considering the consequences. There was no way Qin Nan would survive the attack.

“Impressive, as expected of a genius on the God Ranking. I’ve really learned a great deal today, but unfortunately…” Hua Dichen wore a pitiful look, but his heart was overjoyed. He even had the urge to call the genius of the God Ranking his brother.

“Oh Qin Nan, this is what you get for opposing me. Just a few words, and I could decide your fate!” Hua Dichen wore a grin as he felt extremely pleasant.

The ancient boat continued to move forward.

The geniuses on the boat soon forgot about the short confrontation.

To them, Qin Nan’s death was of little concern.

However, little did they know that a figure slowly rose from the ground in the dark passage with a pair of icy eyes.
