Translator: Silavin Qin Yichen certainly understood that just because he had this status, it did not mean Du Junxiong would not dare to make a move against him. At the very least, if he were to die at Du Junxiong’s hands during the Princess’s Husband Selection, the Alchemy Tower would not make Du Junxiong take up responsibility. Therefore, to truly get Lu Linghan’s hand in marriage, Qin Yichen still needed to possess strength that could contend with Du Junxiong. [I need to quickly become a Martial Grandmaster! Only by becoming a Martial Grandmaster would I have a chance of victory against him. As my Martial Artist cultivation improves, my Physique and strength would also improve.] Although he was still at the Peak Martial Master Realm, in terms of Physique, he could definitely compare to a first level Peak Martial Grandmaster. This was the benefit brought by the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk There was only half a month left until the first day of the first lunar month. Whether he could break through in this half month, even Qin Yichen was not really sure. “I announce that the champion of this Alchemy Competition is… Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty’s Qin Yichen!” Alchemy Grandmaster Gu Ye’s voice resounded, echoing throughout the Royal City. “Haaaiz…” Ma De sighed, not saying anything, and left with the badly injured youth. At this moment, no one was paying attention to them. Everyone’s attention was focused on Qin Yichen. It was Qin Yichen who had reclaimed the championship for the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty! He was not afraid of strong enemies from the other countries. He was not afraid of refusing a powerful Dragon. After today, the name Qin Yichen would spread throughout the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty! On the first day of the first lunar month, at the Princess’s Husband Selection, would he be able to perform another miracle like today!? Now no one dared to underestimate him anymore. After all, in this competition, he had already done something that was thought impossible to achieve. Even many people who were about to leave the Royal City decided to stay temporarily, waiting for the arrival of the first day of the first lunar month. At that time, there would definitely be a fierce battle between Dragons and Tigers! “Be careful of Du Junxiong.” As Alchemy Grandmaster Gu Ye left, he left these words. He had already done his utmost. “Thank you, Grandmaster.” Qin Yichen bowed respectfully to his retreating figure. Finally, with the departure of Alchemy Grandmaster Gu Ye, Lu Heze, and others, this Alchemy Competition slowly came to an end. Qin Yichen’s gaze swept across the venue, then he walked towards the inner passage of the square. He felt no joy in winning the championship. Du Junxiong pressed on his heart like a great mountain, not allowing him to relax in the slightest. After walking out of the square, Qin Yichen put on a black conical hat. He dud not want to be surrounded by people as soon as he came out. “Qin Yichen!” Unexpectedly, before he had walked ten metres, a voice as melodious as a lark rang out. Hearing this voice, Qin Yichen paused, looking somewhat helplessly at the approaching Shu Xin. Behind her, Shu Ruyan also had a gentle smile on her face, quietly looking at him. It seemed they had not gone to the Medicine Shop today, but had come here instead. “Wow, I really didn’t expect you to be so amazing!” Shu Xin excitedly punched Qin Yichen, her expression as if she had won the championship herself. Not just her, even Shu Ruyan had not expected that Shu Xin’s whip would have ‘produced’ a competition champion, and even changed their fate. However, thinking about what happened after Du Junxiong’s appearance, Shu Ruyan’s beautiful face showed a somewhat unnatural expression. That sour feeling in her heart was something she had never experienced before. She did not know why she was having this emotion. “Let’s go, this is not the place to talk.” Seeing many people looking over, Qin Yichen grabbed Shu Ruyan’s soft hand and quickly walked towards the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. Suddenly having her hand held, Shu Ruyan’s face reddened. She struggled slightly before allowing him to lead her. Half an hour later, the three of them were seated in the hall of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. “Hehe, you’ve become famous now, not bad, not bad. It seems bringing you to the Royal City was the right decision. This Young Lady’s eye for talent is indeed excellent!” Shu Xin’s big eyes curved into crescents as she shamelessly claimed all the credit, looking proud, as if feeling proud of her decision to bring Qin Yichen to the Royal City back then. However, she seemed to have forgotten who had desperately tried to prevent bringing along a burden, and who had given him all sorts of difficulties along the way… Qin Yichen rolled his eyes, not in the mood to argue with her. “Ruyan, there’s something I need to tell you.” He turned to Shu Ruyan on the other side, but when he looked at her, he found her face flushed red. Combined with her exquisitely beautiful face, it gave people the urge to take a bite. It was then that he remembered, in the urgency earlier, he had grabbed her hand that was as soft as warm jade… Ahem… Qin Yichen coughed dryly. Although feeling somewhat awkward, his face did not show much change though. He continued, “Well… I have some things to do during this period, so I might not have much time to help you manage the Business Alliance. For the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce to develop, I’d like to recommend someone to you. Ye Liangchen from Spreading Cloud City!” Thinking of that fat guy, Qin Yichen’s mouth involuntarily curved into a smile, “Let him come and manage the Business Alliance with you. I think it will make things much easier for you.” “En.” Shu Ruyan nodded, lowering her head, not daring to look at him directly. Actually, in these few short days, she had discovered that although she had good management skills, with the rapid development of the Business Alliance, she was somewhat overwhelmed. She could maintain it, but for development… she was not very good at it. So, although the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce now seemed impressive, it had not really expanded. Seeing Shu Ruyan’s shy appearance, Qin Yichen was also momentarily dazed. He made a bitter smile, fleeing from the hall under Shu Xin’s somewhat cutting gaze. After returning to his room, Qin Yichen’s expression became serious. [Time is very tight! For the Princess’s Husband Selection, Du Junxiong will definitely not hold back against me! It’s time to practise a powerful Martial Arts Cultivation Technique…] Qin Yichen took a deep breath, a cold light flashing in his eyes, “Trying to steal my woman? Du Junxiong, you’re not qualified!” He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and his thoughts began to race, searching for a Martial Arts Cultivation Technique suitable for his cultivation realm. The Nameless Cultivation Technique was very powerful, and it was extremely comprehensive. But, it was only the most basic foundational Martial Arts. For such a long time, Qin Yichen had been practising the Nameless Cultivation Technique without ever slacking off. His control over his body and his explosive power had reached a considerable level. Once unleashed, it could be concentrated at a single point, delivering a full-force strike. Experts of the same realm would have no chance against him. But what Qin Yichen was facing now was Du Junxiong, who was already at the second level of the Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm. A head-on confrontation was clearly not very realistic. “Right, the Sword Control Technique!” After a long time and various considerations, Qin Yichen finally locked onto a Secret Technique, the Sword Control Technique! This was a Secret Technique he had obtained from an ancient ruin.
