Qin walked out of the participant room as when he was called. He walked towards the ground and the same goes for his enemy. His name was a girl. She was nearly five feet tall, very short in front of him. She wore a white dress as the normal disciples of the outer court.

"Greeting Senior Brother!" As soon as she walked in front of him, she smiled and slightly bowed down.

"Greetings! But, I don\'t dare to be the senior brother." Qin also bowed down and greeted her.

"Hehe! Then, will you let the senior sister win this battle?" The short girl winked at him and smiled.

But, suddenly the surrounding around her froze. Qin\'s hand landed on his sword. Just when she tried to react, he unsheathed his sword.

"Lightning Drawing Sword Art- Lightning Bolt!"

Bang!

The lightning bolt burst out of his sword and strike towards her. The speed of the lightning bolt was fast. But, Qin had completely controlled this attack. He didn\'t use more force nor did he use the sword energy. Although he was fast, she moved quickly as she smashed her small fist against the lightning bolt.

"Hehe! Junior Brother, you sure are a ruthless person." The short girl giggled as she disappeared from her initial position and appeared behind Qin. But, suddenly, she swings her hand back and struck three Qi swords.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She landed on her foot and retreated a few meters. At this moment, her laughter was gone. She had a solemn look on her face. To use create Qi Swords even before she came behind him means he had predicted her steps.

\'It seems I need to show off a little.\' The short girl thought to herself. At this moment, the black energy gushed out of her body and formed a robe around her. As soon as the robe appeared, her figure appeared.

Two daggers appeared on her hands and the next moment, she appeared next to Qin. Her dagger swings as it moved towards his neck.

Ding!

But, the sword on his hand moves as well. It struck the dagger on her hand. At the same time, his hand moved to his back and blocked another dagger. At this moment, the short girl had one dagger in front of Qin and another dagger behind Qin.

On the high stage,

"This guy got so strong in a month?" Jin Hao turned his head at the head elder and asked with confusion.

"It seems to be the case, young master. We asked Elder Chen whether he is truly capable of the benefits he enjoys. And, Elder Chen said, he is more than capable." The head of the outer court spoke.

"Interesting. It seems I need to ask him to join my faction personally." Jin Hao smirked and shifted his gaze at the battle. But, his words made Elder Su frown. She stood up and walked away.

Jin Hao looked at her suspiciously but he couldn\'t pry on her. Elder Su walked backstage and took out a talisman. She injects her qi and spoke "Liu Xie, return back! I need your help."

After saying so, she walked out of the backstage and returned back to her seat.

"It seems you are also planning on roping him to your group. But, do you think you can succeed?" Jin Hao turned his head at her and sneered.

Hearing his words, Elder Su smiled and said "Hehe! Do you think I can\'t rope him into my group? Then, how about we make a bet? If I win, I want the Star Core that you found."

Her words made Jin Hao frown. He turned his head at Qin and saw the ruthlessness in his face. Then, a smile appeared on his face, and asked "But, what if you lose?"

"Then, I will tell Liu Xie to disband the faction." Elder Su smiled and spoke.

"No, that\'s not enough to compensate for Star Core. I want you to back down from your position as an Outer-Court Elder." Jin Hao shook his head and added the condition. After talking to his father, he understood that he doesn\'t have much authority over the elders.

The only reason why the elders were extremely good to him was because of his position as the next sect master. And, if an elder doesn\'t want to follow his wish, he can\'t do anything to that elder, at least not in front of others.

And, for some reason, his dad was unwilling to make a move against Su Ling. It was her name.

Su Ling frowned for a moment. She wasn\'t sure about Qin joining her faction. Six years have passed and many things that Qin did disappoint her. That\'s why she wasn\'t sure whether he will listen to her.

"What? Are you afraid? Just tell me that you don\'t have enough confidence? All you have is beauty. Unfortunately, that guy is a ruthless character. He won\'t be enticed by your beauty, not to mention, he had already had someone else." Jin Hao sneered as he tried to take her back down.

But, his words only sparked a smile on her face. She nodded her head and said, "Alright, I will accept your bet."

Jin Hao was startled by her agreement but soon smiled. He doesn\'t care about Qin. He just wants her to lose the Elder position. If he is successful, then he is sure to kill her.

On the ground,

Qin blocked her daggers and pushed her away. But, she didn\'t stop. Her body literally became darkness that could hide even under the sun. Seeing this, he frowned a little. Her technique seems to be related to the dark element.

If he can obtain it…..

Qin didn\'t think too much. He immediately released his qi and condensed it into the ice element. He didn\'t use the ice qi from his dantian since he can\'t show them his strength. But, he doesn\'t mind showing his talent.

"So, he truly cultivated both elements in just a month. And, I thought he was simply joking when he returned those techniques." A voice rang from the top of the arena. The person was none other than Elder Wu. He was standing above the top stage. He was literally standing at the wall.

"Hahaha! What did I tell you? He is one of the kind. Although this brat is shameless, he is very talented. Unfortunately, we can\'t control him." Another elder laughed while standing near Elder Wu. He was none other than Elder Chen.

"Didn\'t you poison him?" Elder Wu\'s eyebrows rose as he glanced at Elder Chen and asked.

"I did but he has successfully swung his sword. Although he hadn\'t removed it completely, he did weaken it a lot. He is truly good at hiding. If I wasn\'t a swordsman, I wouldn\'t have noticed his sword cultivation. By the way, do you think he is hiding his cultivation as well?" Elder Chen sighed and asked.

If Qin was here, he would be shocked to death. Because he never thought Elder Chen would know so much about him.

"Hmm! I wondered that question as well. But, it seems impossible. I have read over ten thousand techniques. I can easily detect others\' cultivation unless he is covered by an expert. But, his physical body seems to have improved a lot."

"Well, he did take Lightning Hegemon Technique and Ice King Spiritual Body Technique. So, I wouldn\'t be surprised if his physical strength is at Qi Condensation Realm by now." Elder Wu explained as he stared at Qin.

"So, do you agree that you lost the bet?" Elder Chen smirked and asked. He naturally doesn\'t care if Qin has hidden or not. After all, he had already shown his goodwill. Now, his poison has weakened as well.

So, he can simply start forging a good relationship with him.

Elder Wu sighed and nodded his head.

"Hahaha! Thanks to you, I can forge a good relationship with him. Don\'t worry, after getting the benefits, I won\'t forget you." Elder Chen laughed out but no one from below could hear them. They were using the noise canceling talisman.

"Alright, I will teach him but only for a week." Elder Wu raised his tone and spoke.

"A week is more than enough for a genius like him. But…" Elder Chen laughed for a moment but his expression changed as his gaze fell on Jin Hao.

"I will try to convince him to join Liu Xie. It won\'t be good for that brat to engage with him."

Elder Wu nodded his head and both of them disappeared. After a few seconds, a middle-aged man appeared in the same position. He stared at Jin Hao and Su Ling for a moment. Then, his gaze fell on Qin and the short girl.

"Those geezers have their eyes on him. It seems I must force Jin Hao to recruit this brat in his faction."

This middle-aged man was none other than the Sect Master of the Battle Dragon Sect.
