Chapter 510: 0511 Sending Charcoal in the Snow (Third Update)

Ye Qiu appeared at the Dragon Group base, causing quite a stir. As the top special forces organization in China, the Dragon Group was always keeping an eye on the dynamics of the martial arts world.

Especially with the arrival of Gu Shan Baiyi, the entire martial arts community was in a state of alarm.

From this, it can be seen how terrifying this expert from the island nation’s martial arts community was. If it weren’t for Daoist Qian Zhen, perhaps no one could rival Gu Shan Baiyi.

The members of the Dragon Group were quite shocked by this news.

Recently, a samurai from the island nation had shown great prowess, defeating two members of the Ten Owls consecutively. His fame was unmatched for a time, and many were looking forward to a strong member of the Ten Owls defeating this man.

"Because of you, kid, I’m practically bankrupt!"

When Ye Qiu met Old Colorhead, he had a mournful look on his face, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Ye Qiu didn’t understand what he meant by bankrupt. Mei Huiling, the head of the Dragon Group, explained, "Your master was worried that you would be killed by that islander, Gu Shan Baiyi. To enhance your strength, he spent a lot of money to buy rare treasures from all over the country just to help you break through to the legendary realm."

What...

Ye Qiu turned to look at Old Colorhead, who wore an expression that seemed to say, ’Don’t thank me too much,’ and murmured, "To buy these treasures, I’ve spent all the money I was keeping for you. You must be very touched."

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. That was the money he had earned previously as an assassin. If anyone was bankrupt, it was his own loss.

Not interested in discussing this further, Ye Qiu was only curious about what level of treasures Old Colorhead had bought.

Only then did Old Colorhead open a cabinet behind him.

"Five hundred-year-old ginseng, this amount is enough to instantly restore all your True Qi. And although this can’t compare to ginseng, it’s superior in age, also containing a vast amount of energy."

Going through them one by one, he indeed saw several rare treasures, all very old. Ye Qiu was surprised. Such aged items couldn’t be bought with just money, as using one meant losing one. For some people, these were invaluable treasures for longevity, yet Old Colorhead had managed to gather so many for him.

Old Colorhead chuckled and said, "You have to thank your master’s wife for this. If she hadn’t stepped in, who would have easily parted with these items?"

Ye Qiu bowed deeply to Mei Huiling. The rare treasures before him were enough for his True Qi to fully recover. Without them, relying on absorbing the spiritual energy from nature would take a long time. Who knew when Gu Shan Baiyi would come knocking? He had to recover as quickly as possible.

"You are a member of the Dragon Group and his disciple. What I am doing is only right. Gu Shan Baiyi is no ordinary man; even Daoist Qian Zhen couldn’t subdue him. Both your master and I are worried that you might fall to his viciousness. Maybe you should stay at the base until you break through to the legendary realm," Mei Huiling slowly said.

Ye Qiu was silent. He understood that Mei Huiling wanted him to stay at the Dragon Group base to avoid Gu Shan Baiyi, which would be certain death otherwise.

But could Ye Qiu really stay inside the base and not come out for training?

If he didn’t show up for a long time and Gu Shan Baiyi, angered, went after Shen Mengchen or Shangguan Mingyue, what would happen? What about the many people related to him?

Would he still remain hidden? But then all his friends would be in danger.

Seeing Ye Qiu silent, Old Colorhead interjected, "Let the kid decide for himself. We just need to believe in him and support him."

"How can you still be supportive? He is your disciple. Do you think True Qi realm can compete with the legendary realm?" Mei Huiling was indignant, upset that Old Colorhead was still siding with Ye Qiu. In her eyes, this was endangering Ye Qiu.

"Young people have their own choices. Who says a difference in realm means you can’t compete? Ye Qiu is my disciple, and I believe he might just create a miracle," Old Colorhead pulled Mei Huiling out of the room, leaving Ye Qiu alone to ponder.

The words of Old Colorhead echoed in Ye Qiu’s mind. That’s right, who decreed that a difference in realm means certain defeat? Since it was considered an iron rule, he was going to break that rule.

A battle across levels!

Ye Qiu’s mind flickered with this idea, and of course, to achieve such a breakthrough in the realm of combat, he needed to make thorough preparations, otherwise, he was very likely to be killed by the opponent.

His gaze landed on the various heavenly treasures in front of him, and Ye Qiu took a deep breath.

First restore the True Qi...

On the second day of Ye Qiu’s retreat, the martial arts world was shaken again by one person.

The seventh-ranked Wang Shuisheng, battled with a Samurai from the Sun Nation and was defeated!

A figure among the top ten being defeated by a Samurai from the Sun Nation severely dented the martial artists’ morale.

Many hoped that the top-ranked Huangfu Jun would take action and suppress the Japanese Samurai, but surprisingly, this Samurai insisted on challenging the top ten one by one, with the first few, according to the Samurai, being saved as the best for last.

However, translated by some martial artists, it meant picking the softest persimmons first. With this, the Samurai was once again pushed to an extreme peak of arrogance and conceit.

Perhaps out of fear of Taniyama Hakuto behind the Samurai, despite his arrogance, no senior figures in the martial arts world came forward to criticize him.

With the defeat of the seventh-ranked, the focus shifted to the sixth-ranked Meng Pengxiao.

However, Meng Pengxiao did something that baffled everyone: he conceded defeat voluntarily.

With three out of the top ten defeated and one conceding voluntarily, the Samurai from the Sun Nation had completely outclassed half the top ten.

His prominence now exceeded Taniyama Hakuto’s; while many chastised Meng Pengxiao as a coward, they were also secretly astounded by the Samurai’s formidable strength.

People asked the third-ranked Luo Tie what he thought about the Samurai’s unbeatable aura.

Luo Tie simply said five brief words: "A grasshopper after autumn!"

A grasshopper after autumn won’t last many days!

Luo Tie’s domineering comment ignited a fervent desire among people to defeat the Samurai. Many were vocally encouraging Luo Tie to take action.

However, Luo Tie responded, "Only after defeating Chen Taiji will he be worthy of my challenge."

In response to this statement, the Samurai remained undisturbed and arrogantly replied, "My goal is to annihilate all of the top ten."

Someone then asked, "What about Ye Qiu? He is the last of the top ten, why not challenge him?"

The Samurai was quite polite: "It’s a pity, he is Mr. Taniyama’s prey. Although I’d like to challenge him, since he is Mr. Taniyama’s prey, I must leave him to Mr. Taniyama."

"Of course, if he dares to show up and challenge me, I don’t mind sparring with him. I can spare his life for Mr. Taniyama to deal with."

"Too bad, he dares not show himself!"

With every mention, the Samurai completely disregarded Ye Qiu, giving everyone the impression that without Taniyama Hakuto, he could easily defeat Ye Qiu.

And to some, what they saw was the mighty confidence within the Samurai—a dominant aura nurtured by successive victories over the top ten!

Such a figure targeting Ye Qiu was enough to drive anyone to despair, let alone having another more terrifying than the current Samurai, Taniyama Hakuto.

Many believed that for Ye Qiu, there was no escape from death!
