Chapter 18

As he thought to this point, Qin Nan’s heart regained its calm. After bidding farewell to Qin Tian and Tie San, he returned to his own courtyard. On the way back to his own courtyard, Qin Nan encountered something rather interesting. The servants of theClan,as well as the disciples who had previously looked at him in disdain, were taking the initiative to greet him.

Qin Nan laughed to himself. It seemed like the incident tin the Conference Hall had already spread to these servants and disciples. However, Qin Nan ignored them. These were the same people who sneered and ridiculed him in the past. Thus, trying to repent for it now wassimplytoo late.

After he returned to his courtyard, Qin Nan quickly went inside his house and brought out several jade bottles, withdrawing the Body Tempering Pills from within them. The Spiritual Qi emanating from these pills in a pile wasextremelydense.

“I wonder what level the Divine Battle Spirit can reach with these five hundred Body Tempering Pills!”

Qin Nan took a deep breath; his face revealed excitement. If one were to go by the previous condition, ten Body Tempering Pills was enough to increase the grade of the Divine Battle Spirit by one. In that case, wouldn’t five hundred Body Tempering Pills make the Divine Battle Spirit rise to the legendary Tian rank? Naturally, Qin Nan knewthatthis idea wasa bittoo exaggerative. As long as he could raise it to the Xuan ranked Martial Spirit, he would be satisfied.

Qin Nan collected his thoughts and sat cross legged as seven golden raysbegan to dazzle. The Divine Battle Spirit’s avatar appeared behind his back, standing tall in the air, its aura as domineering as before. As he released the Divine Battle Spirit, Qin Nan immediately reached out with his arm and swallowed the Body Tempering Pills. As the Body Tempering Pills entered Qin Nan, the Divine Battle Spiritbegan to release an incorporeal attraction, just like the last time, causing the Elixir to be thoroughly absorbed.

One pill….four pills…..seven pills….nine pills….

As he picked up the tenth Body Tempering Pill, Qin Nan became a little nervous. He swallowed it, and carefully observed the changes to the Divine Battle Spirit.

One breath….thirty breaths later…

After waiting for a long time, Qin Nan felt slightly disappointed, and his face had a bitter smile. Thiscertainlywasn’t as easy as he thought. The Divine Battle Spirit didn’t increase in grade, even after swallowing ten Body Tempering Pills.

“Let’s try again. Let’s see how many I need!”

Qin Nan quickly regained his calm. With full confidence, hebegan to toss the Body Tempering Pills into his mouth one after another. However, the results this time made Qin Nan’s heart hit rock bottom.

Thirty pills!

Eighty pills!

One hundred seventy pills!

Three hundred fifty pills!

Qin Nan continuously swallowed until he reached four hundred and ninety pills, but the Divine Battle Spirit behind his back remained inactive. The potency of these Body Tempering Pills was like a drop of water falling into a great sea, disappearing within the Divine Battle Spirit.

“It seems like… it’s not that easy after all,” Qin Nan wore an increasingly sour smile, however, he quickly readjusted his attitude. Having the ability to raise a grade by relying on Elixirs was already opposing the heavens. There was no reason to make an even more extravagant demand.

“Here’s the last ten pills. Let’s swallow them at same time. Let’s see if I can raise the grade or not!”

Qin Nan gritted his teeth and grabbed the remaining Body Tempering Pills, swallowing them all at once. He was not disappointed this time.

After the Divine Battle Spirit had absorbed the potency of the ten Body Tempering Pills, its entire being suddenly trembled. Following this, a golden ray radiated from the top of the Divine Battle Spirit. This caused the Divine Battle Spirit’s aurato suddenly turn even more formidable and tyrannical.

The Divine Battle Spirit had finally broken through to the eighth-grade after consuming five hundred Body Tempering Pills! However, it was far more complicated than that. As Qin Nan felt delighted, the outline of of the lofty and fuzzy avatar of the Divine Battle Spirit’s eyes slowly became clearer compared to the rest its body. It was as though this fuzzy Divine Battle Spirit’s eyes were opening.

“This…”

Qin Nan was greatly astonished. He couldclearlysense when the Divine Battle Spirit changed, and his own eyes also changed. Originally, when Qin Nan’s cultivation had reached the fourth-layer of Body Tempering Realm, his eyesight had gotten exceedingly good. However, he could feel that his current eyesight was even better by tenfold.

As Qin Nan looked around him, the grass and trees within the circumference of ten Mi was incredibly clear. Even the muddy water was perceivable.

“My eyesight hasactuallyimproved?”

A thought came from Qin Nan’s mind, and he thought back to the sudden changes to the Divine Battle Spirit. His heart was shocked once more. As the eyes of Divine Battle Spirit unveiled, a great change also occurred to his own eyes. Could this mean that the Divine Battle Spirit’s development also influenced Qin Nan’s corporeal body, and brought along other benefits?

“Not only could it increase ranks from consuming Elixirs, but I also felt my perception improve last time. I was afraid that had something to do with the Divine Battle Spirit. Now I knowthatit canactuallyinfluence the corporeal body… This Divine Battle Spirit issimplytoo frightening!”

Qin Nan took a series of cold breaths. He wascompletelyincapable of holding back his surging emotions. However, at this moment a thought came to Qin Nan’s mind:I wonder what level I can reach in this lifetime with the help of this frightening Divine Battle Spirit?

In this instant, Qin Nanbegan to feel that he knew too little. Within his world, a Martial King was already the strongest existence he could think of. He had never met or heard of anyone above the Martial King Realm, thus, he wasn’t too certain about it.

“Divine Battle Spirit, there are none it does not fight, and there are none it does not win against….” Qin Nan suddenly recalled the words in his mind and muttered to himself. Only after a little while did he suddenly realize that his eyes emanated a radiance, “Since I possess a Martial Spirit this formidable, I wonder how I should choose my future? I should enter the Mystic Spirit Sect. By entering the sect I can truly understand this world and tread upon an even broader world...and then defeat all the enemies!”

In this short moment, Qin Nan’s Martial Heart followed the changes of the Divine Battle Spirit, turning incomparably solemn.
