Chapter 405: Convinced
Qin Wushuang flapped one of his arm with an abrupt shout . Instantly, he slammed the spearhead downwards .
With an explosive sound, like a spider web, the floor of the entire stage developed countless cracks . Accompanied by the sound of cracking, it continued to spread everywhere .
Pointing the tip of the spear to the ground, with a loud roar, Qin Wushuang used all his strength to flip it . With another violent movement and booming sound, the entire martial arts stage had been forced into halves as if one had pull apart a piece of giant cake .
A giant and deep ditch appeared .
Qin Wushuang did not stop as he leaned upon his ancestral giant spear and kept thrusting in like raindrops hitting the ground . Each time, the thrusts kept getting faster, as if he was driving piles into the ground .
Just as that Fourth Divinity Chief reached the edge of the stage underground, he suddenly realized that the martial arts stage had been torn into halves by Qin Wushuang . This way, it had blocked off his paths .
This martial arts stage was not built with ordinary materials . It had been built with extremely sturdy materials . Thus, it was different traveling beneath this material in comparison to ordinary dirt . He could not get four or five metres within this material .
Each time Qin Wushuang stabbed down with his spear, he would speak: "Fourth Divinity Chief, let me see how long you can stay in hiding . "
Although the Fourth Divinity Chief was concealed beneath the ground, inwardly, he was anxious . He knew that to attack Qin Wushuang, he must travel through this broken layer . However, it would not be difficult to travel through such a big crack of this layer, but it would be almost impossible to evade Qin Wushuang's raindrop like attacks through this process .
Additionally, it would be an extreme waste of his spiritual energy if he remained in this deadlock . Especially with the terrain of the martial arts stage and its building material, it would take almost all his spiritual energy . Indeed, it would not work in his favor if he just went ahead and did some stupid actions .
The Fourth Divinity Chief had been forced into a corner by Qin Wushuang's actions .
If he were to advance, he must travel across the broken layer and would come under attack by Qin Wushuang .
If he were to retreat, he would return to his original situation and still, Qin Wushuang would have the upper hand .
Regardless of either options, the situation would not work in his favor .
However, if he remained in this stalemate, the situation might become even worse than the previous two options .
Currently, Qin Wushuang had already locked onto the approximate location of the Fourth Divinity Chief's hiding place . Holding the long spear tightly in his hand, he only gathered his power without unleashing it . He was only waiting for the opponent's next movement . At that moment, he would seize the opportunity to take him down .
Under such circumstances, he had complete power and advantage by letting the opponent make a move . One could say that at this point in the situation, Qin Wushuang's options were completely flexible in unleashing his methods or power .
This one man and the spear stood on the martial arts stage . The imposing manner unleashed by Qin Wushuang had given people the feeling of a celestial being descending from the sky . A wave of invincible aura flowed from his entire body . Even more lethally, the power of the aura kept rising as if it had not even reached the highest peak .
Such concentrated and primed state gave all Nine Raven higher-ups the same feeling—In this battle, the Fourth Divinity Chief no longer had any winning chance .
The Head Divinity Chief gave a long sigh and exchanged a glance with the other higher-ups . All of them nodded at each other . Suddenly, like a giant bird flying to the sky, the Head Divinity Chief raised his legs and glided while flicking his sleeves . He stopped before Qin Wushuang with a smile hanging on his face: "Young Master Wushuang, for this battle, I represent the Fourth Divinity Chief in admitting defeat . "
"Head Divinity Chief . "
Speaking slowly, Qin Wushuang still had a concentrated look . He fixed his gaze to the side as apparently, to him, the word from the Head Divinity Chief was not enough . This battle still had not ended .
"Yesterday, when the Fourth Divinity Chief issued the challenge, you said that you could not represent him to stop this battle from happening . Now, you are representing him to admit defeat on his behalf, I am afraid that the Fourth Divinity Chief would not accept this fact . And to me, it's unfair . "
After receiving several provocations from the Fourth Divinity Chief yesterday, it would be impossible to say that Qin Wushuang did not have his own thoughts .
It's alright to admit defeat, yet the Fourth Divinity Chief must admit it himself .
Hearing the words from Qin Wushuang, the Head Divinity Chief shouted: "Fourth, come out quickly!"
The Head Divinity Chief immediately jumped out and stood there casually . Yet, his aura had emerged naturally as he had blocked the front Qin Wushuang's attacking path .
When that Fourth Divinity Chief broke free from the earth, he appeared somewhat embarrassingly . Holding both swords in his hands, he stared at Qin Wushuang while unknown lights flashed in his eyes .
Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on the face of this Fourth Divinity Chief as he shook his head and let out a long sigh: "Qin Wushuang, Qin Wushuang, the name you have is excellent . In the history of the human countries, indeed, at your age, no one is as competent as you . Today, I will not be pretentious, I am convinced!"
As soon as he said those words, the higher-ups of the Nine Raven Temple still remained somewhat calm . After all, this defeat was destined . Everyone could see that Qin Wushuang had already locked down all paths of movement of the Fourth Divinity Chief .
The Head Divinity Chief laughed: "Young Master Wushuang, please don't be offended . Fourth has always paid attention to your rise . Only, he was always doubtful since he did not test your skills himself . In fact, he was testing you during all this time, and he does not feel any hostility towards you . "
The Fourth Divinity Chief laughed: "Young Master Wushuang, regardless if you like this method or not, to me, I have been wholeheartedly convinced by you . "
Earlier, Qin Wushuang had already guessed this possibility . He finally realized the light after hearing their words .
He withdrew his long spear and give a long sigh: "Fourth Divinity Chief, with your testing methods, I am afraid that people with less courage would have been scared to death . "
The Fourth Divinity Chief laughed: "Not only those timid people, if you didn't have the skill, I am afraid it would look bad for you even more . "
The Head Divinity Chief immediately spoke to soothe things as he was afraid of Qin Wushuang getting offended: "Young Master Wushuang, this was not a scheme to offend you, but a matter of acknowledgment . After this battle, I believe that no one could shake your position in the human countries . "
Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly: "I never wanted to gain any position, Head Divinity Chief, for that Soul Scouring Technique, I wonder if you can pass it on to me?"
The Head Divinity Chief laughed: "Of course I will offer it with both my hands . "
Hearing the words of the Head Divinity Chief, finally, Qin Wushuang's heart relaxed . Hadn't he come to the Nine Raven Temple for that Soul Scouring Technique?
Now with the matter of acquiring the Soul Scouring Technique solved, of course he felt extremely gratified .
Though this battle's result remained undetermined, it had allowed Qin Wushuang to receive a completely different treatment at the Nine Raven Temple . Yesterday, if the courtesy of the Nine Raven Temple had only stopped on the surface, then today, their treatment had more sincerity .
After this battle, Qin Wushuang had cleared all the doubts of his strength . All higher-ups of the Nine Raven Temple had recognized the potential of this young man!
…
After staying for two or three days on the island, on this afternoon, a manager of the Nine Raven Temple came up to him .
"Young Master Wushuang, the Head Divinity Chief is asking for you . "
Currently, Qin Wushuang was meditating . Hearing that the Head Divinity Chief was asking for him, of course, he would not tarry . He followed that manager and started to head towards the Head Divinity Chief's residence .
They came to a yard and after walking through various curving little roads, that manager said: "The Head Divinity Chief lives beyond this door, please go ahead, Young Master Wushuang . "
Qin Wushuang nodded and started to walk in .
Behind the bamboo forest, the Head Divinity Chief was sitting on a stone bench . A pile of thick papers lay on top of the stone table .
With his brows furrowed, the Head Divinity Chief flipped through the books while thinking . He only raised his head when he saw Qin Wushuang approaching . With a smile, he said: "Young Master Wushuang, come sit here . "
Qin Wushuang knew that the Head Divinity Chief must have some business to attend to with him, since he had invited him alone . Immediately, he walked closer and sat down on the other stone bench . With one glance, he saw that the Head Divinity Chief was reading through some historical books of the human countries .
"Head Divinity Chief, what instructions do you have for me to bring me here?"
"Ha ha, I asked you to come here to mainly entrust the scroll of the Soul Scouring Technique to you . " When the Head Divinity Chief said these words, he pulled out a scroll from a pile of documents and handed it over with a smile: "Young Master Wushuang, although this secret technique is miraculous, there are many restrictions when using it . Either to the user or the one it is being used on, there will be a considerate amount of side effects . Unless you have a much stronger spiritual sense than the opponent . Thus, it would be best to not use it too frequently . "
Qin Wushuang took it and said seriously: "Please rest assured, Head Divinity Chief . I will never abuse this technique . And I will not use it for any bad things . "
The Head Divinity Chief was satisfied: "I already know your personality to some extent . Indeed, you are not someone that would conduct evil deeds . Of course, if your spiritual sense is strong enough, you can also ignore the side effects when performing it . "
"What are some of the side effects?" Qin Wushuang asked curiously .
"The Soul Scouring Technique is used to search the other party's mind and dig out secrets . This way, the memory of the other person would inevitably become mixed into the user's mind and creates an image of the targets soul . Thus, when you perform this Soul Scouring Technique, you must never allow the consciousness of the other party get mixed into the user . Or else, it would cause chaos in your mind . This is only the lighter parts . If the victim of this technique has a strong will, they might create a mental attack and could charge into the mind of the user . It would harm the user through splitting their spiritual senses!"
Stunned, Qin Wushuang understood the intention of the Head Divinity Chief after some thoughts . This was not hard to understand . When two people's consciousness became mixed, it would be best if it could be absorbed . If it was two different waves of consciousness, for sure it would become hostile to each other and cause a split in their mind .
To put it bluntly, it would cause the user to develop schizophrenia .
Qin Wushuang could understand this part . He had used several years to completely merge his identity as Wu Xinghe, the grandmaster from his previous world, into the identity of Qin Wushuang . And the residual memory of the previous Qin Wushuang had been absorbed, almost without resistance .
If it was two completely resisting consciousness, who knows what would happen!
He put away the Soul Scouring Technique carefully, and Qin Wushuang cupped his hands: "I will remember this favor . "
The Head Divinity Chief did not mind . In his eyes, this Soul Scouring Technique was only a trivial matter .
"Young Master Wushuang, today, giving you the Soul Scouring Technique was only a small matter . I do have some ancient chronicles in which I would like you to hear . "
Ancient chronicles? Qin Wushuang was stunned for he did not understand .
The Head Divinity Chief gave a light sigh: "Yes, this chronicle is extremely invaluable . Perhaps, it is related to the future destiny of the human countries!"
