Peerless Battle Spirit
Chapter 14: The Shaken Clan

The sudden explosion caused the noisy Conference Hall to fall deathly silent.

Everyone instinctively glanced toward the entrance.

Qin Tieba and Qin Changkong were shocked by the explosion, as they had never expected someone to dare to interrupt the meeting by destroying the entrance to the Conference Hall.

Following this, their faces were filled with unpleasant expressions as they glared toward the entrance.

They were eager to know who would have the guts to disturb them at such a crucial time!

However, they were both stunned after taking a glimpse.

In addition to them, the crowd was startled too, as no one had expected the one interrupting the meeting by destroying the entrance to the Conference Hall to be the famous piece of trash of their clan—Qin Nan!

“Are you all trying to usurp my father?” Qin Nan wore an icy look on his face while questioning the crowd, as if he were not aware of his mistake.

“Nan’er, you…” Qin Tian was left speechless by Qin Nan’s actionsas well, but he soon collected his thoughts, and whose expression changed as he snapped, “Qin Nan, what are you doing? You shouldn’t be here, get out of here...”

Before Qin Tian could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Qin Tieba immediately, who was emitting a faint murderous intent while wearing a cold expression, “Qin Nan, how bold of you. This is the clan’s Conference Hall. You dare to interrupt the meeting by breaking the door, are you planning a revolt?”

Qin Tieba raised his tone toward the end as an aura of the tenth-layer Body Tempering Realm burst out from his body, aiming at Qin Nan’s direction.

Obviously, Qin Nan’s sudden entry caused Qin Tieba to become enraged.

If he weren’t afraid of Qin Tian’s strength, he would most likely strike and beat Qin Nan to death on the spot.

Qin Nan gazed sharply at the crowd as if he were not aware of Qin Tieba’s anger, while speaking at a steady pace, “I will ask you one last time; are you trying to impeach my father’s position as the clan’s Patriarch?”

The crowd remained silent. Whether it be Qin Nan’s sudden entry taking them by surprise, or some other factor, the deacons could only feel their throats being clenched, preventing them from speaking.

“You——” Qin Tieba’s expression changed greatly, as he had never expected a piece of trash like Qin Nan to ignore his presence. Even his father, Qin Tian, had no choice but to lower his head before him now.

What right do you have to ignore me?

With this thought, the rage in his heart rose rapidly, causing him to subconsciously clench his fists, making bonecracking noises.

To his surprise, Qin Changkong suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Qin Tieba, before he raised his head and stared at Qin Nan with disdain, “You’re right. We’re here to usurp your father, so that he would resign from the role of Patriarch.”

Qin Nan’s gaze landed upon Qin Changkong’s figure. His expression remained the same as he asked in a calm tone, “Why is that?”

Qin Changkong’s heart was engulfed in anger after seeing Qin Nan’s reaction.

He was a genius who possessed a fifth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit; the one chosen to become a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect. On the other hand, Qin Nan was a piece of trash who only possessed a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit; who gave him the right to be disrespectful? Who gave him the right to talk to him with such attitude?

With his heart displeased, Qin Changkong let out a hollow laugh, “You’re asking me why? Your father gave you, his trashy son, five hundred Body Tempering Pills. As the Patriarch of the clan, instead of giving them to me—who is going to become a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect—he chose to give them to you instead. What right does he have to be our Patriarch?”

“Disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect?” Qin Nan was startled.

It went without saying that Qin Nan knew about the Mystic Spirit Sect. In fact, joining the Mystic Spirit Sect and becoming a disciple in it was one of his goals as well. However, Qin Nan had not expected Qin Changkong to be selected as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect prior to the selection.

Qin Nan immediately realized why Qin Tieba would dare to try and usurp his father now.

Qin Changkong burst out laughing after seeing Qin Nan’s reaction. His heart was filled with utter satisfaction. Who did you think you are? Did you finally realize the difference between us?

“Qin Tian, if you don’t make your son leave now, don’t blame me for being merciless.” Meanwhile, Qin Tieba gave Qin Tian an icy glance.

The deacons also finally reacted at that instant.

“F**k, what is this piece of trash doing here? He dares to kick down the entrance of the Conference Hall, how ridiculous!”

“How bold of him to challenge the authority of the people here.”

“Qin Tian must resign today. Everyone knew that his son is a piece of trash, but he still dares to act disrespectfully. If Qin Tian continued to be our Patriarch, who knows what this imbecile would do!”

“That’s right, usurping Qin Tian is indeed the right choice.”

“……”

The deacons showed no mercy at all. The words they uttered were extremely unpleasant.

Qin Tian’s expression was twisted. These people were humiliating his son right in front of him. As a father, how could he not be infuriated? If this were to happen before, Qin Tian would not hesitate, but the tide had turned now.

Qin Tian took a deep breath while enduring the humiliation. His heart was filled with a hint of sorrow, his tone full of helplessness, “Nan’er, back off. You shouldn’t be here in the first place…”

However, before Qin Tian could finish his sentence, he was interrupted once again.

Previously, he had been interrupted by the Supreme Elder, Qin Tianba. This time, it was Qin Nan—who had been relatively silent—that had interrupted him.

Qin Nan’s expression remained calm as always, while his gaze was focused onto Qin Tieba and Qin Changkong, “Basically, you are trying to usurp my father for giving five hundred Body Tempering Pills to me, despite the fact that I’m a piece of trash?”

“Hehe, well said.” Qin Changkong replied. His eyes were filled with pride and disdain, “Wasting five hundred Body Tempering Pills on a piece of trash like you;why would any Patriarch do such a thing?”

Generally, with Qin Changkong’s current status, there was no need for him to answer Qin Nan’s questioning.

However, Qin Changkong would not waste any chance to crush and mock the used-to-be top genius of the clan. By doing so, it would allow Qin Changkong to feel extremely satisfied.

“Very well.” Qin Nan nodded his head, and then turned his head toward the crowd. His tone was suddenly raised, as loud as an explosion, “If I were not a piece of trash, would it then be reasonable for the Patriarch to allocate five hundred Body Tempering Pills for me? Does that mean you would not have the excuse to usurp my father?”

The crowd was astonished, including Qin Tian, Qin Tieba, and the others.

The same thought flashed across their minds; what was Qin Nan thinking? What was he trying to prove? Was he trying to prove that he was not a piece of trash?

The crowd was silent for a brief while, before a blasting laugh could be heard, which turned out to be from Qin Changkong.

“HAHAHA, did I hear it wrong? Qin Nan, a piece of trash with a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit like you is trying to convince us that you are not one? With your Martial Spirit’s rank, even if you were to be given an endless supply of pills, you are doomed to be trash for the rest of your life.”

Qin Changkong felt incredibly pleasant, who did not forgot to add after finishing his previous sentence, “Of course, if you were not trash, it’d be acceptable for Qin Tian to give you five hundred Body Tempering Pills, but we won’t discuss it further.”

At that instant, it was as if Qin Changkong had become the one in charge of the meeting.

However, no one was offended by that. After all, Qin Changkong was the chosen disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect, granting him a significantly higher status than the others. The crowd was more interested in Qin Nan’s reaction.

If you, Qin Nan, with a first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, were not considered trash, who else could be classified trash?

Qin Tian was left in shock, “Nan^[a][b]’er, you…”

Even if everyone was trying to humiliate Qin Nan, Qin Tian was not willing to see his son suffer. Qin Tian’s only conjecture was that Qin Nan had gone out of his mind, thus he must send Qin Nan away, otherwise it would be a disaster if the situation continued to escalate.

Qin Nan was not disturbed by the crowd’s mockery. He glanced at Qin Changkong with a calm look, “Very well, I would like to ask how I could prove that I’m not trash?”

Qin Changkong was stunned. He had initially thought that Qin Nan would flee from the scene after being humiliated, but instead, he was being serious all along.

That being said, Qin Changkong did not overthink it. His tone was filled with utter disdain, “That’s simple. As long as your cultivation has surpassed mine, you would no longer be regarded…”

The crowd glanced in Qin Nan’s direction after hearing this. Some even burst out laughing as they failed to withhold the urge to laugh.

What was Qin Changkong’s current cultivation? The third-layer Body Tempering Realm!

It had only been over half a month since the Martial Spirit Awakening Ceremony. It was impossible for Qin Nan to reach the third-layer Body Tempering Realm with his first-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit, regardless of the number of pills he consumed.

The crowd could not wait to see Qin Nan displaying his cultivation, as it would be a total humiliation for him.

However, before Qin Changkong finished his words, the crowd could only see Qin Nan waving his hand all of a sudden to interrupt Qin Changkong’s speech, “I got it now, there’s no need for you to elaborate on it, as a piece of trash like you has no right to talk to me.”

“You...called me trash?” Qin Changkong was shocked, before his expression turned dark as great anger burst out from his figure, “Qin Nan, how bold of you. A piece of trash like you dares to call me trash, I will teach you a great...”

Under the crowd’s gaze, Qin Nan stomped his foot onto the ground all of a sudden. An aura of the fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm was emitted from his body aiming toward Qin Changkong’s figure.

Qin Changkong’s expression instantly changed while his figure stiffened. It was as if his throat was stuck due to an invisible force, stopping him from saying the last word ‘lesson’.

After unleashing his cultivation, Qin Nan’s aura thoroughly changed into a sharp saber pressuring Qin Changkong, “Now, tell me, are you trash?”

He then turned toward the crowd while his aura was fired upward in a magnificent manner.

“Now, tell me, is he trash?”

The Conference Hall of the Qin Clan was immersed in dead silence at that instant, apart from the two roars that echoed continuously in the ears of the crowd.
