Chapter 264 – True Dragon Contemplation!

“Ding! Detected that the host has successfully intimidated a God Sovereign-level expert! Reward amplified a hundredfold!”

“Congratulations, host!”

“Reward obtained: True Dragon Contemplation!”

“Those who master this technique can visualize and shape a dragon within their divine consciousness. After contemplation, they can further condense a True Dragon Avatar! Ascend to the Celestial Venerable Realm!”

A continuous stream of system notifications rang out.

“Finally, a reward dropped.”

Qin Yang leaned back on the sofa, letting out a comfortable sigh.

His heart finally settled.

This round of battle had taken immense effort—after toiling for so long, he had finally managed to extract the reward…

“Not easy at all.”

Qin Yang briefly skimmed through the contemplation technique, and a rough outline began to form in his mind—golden scales, deer-like antlers, eagle-like claws. But it was still just a prototype, vague and unclear.

“Not bad.”

“As long as I successfully condense the Dharma Body, I can step into the Celestial Venerable Realm!”

Qin Yang was quite satisfied inwardly and withdrew from the Enlightenment Space.

He wasn’t in a hurry.

After all, haste makes waste.

In the future, he could take it easy at the dojo and slack off—there would be plenty of time for contemplation!

What excited him more now were the future rewards related to Meng Tianxuan!

Just severely injuring Meng Tianxuan…

Had already yielded such an explosive reward…

What if he killed him?

What kind of reward would he get then?

“It definitely won’t be worse than the True Dragon Contemplation.”

Thinking of this, Qin Yang felt incredibly eager. He licked his lips, recalling the heavily injured Meng Tianxuan from before, and his mood grew even more restless.

Was this guy even a Supreme Alliance Leader?

He was clearly a walking treasure chest!

This old geezer’s rewards hadn’t been fully harvested yet. Once he advanced to the Celestial Venerable Realm, he would definitely hunt him down mercilessly!

“Master, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so happily?”

At that moment, Xiaobai leaned in closer.

She waved her small hand in front of Qin Yang’s face, looking at him nervously. “You’re not thinking of something bad again, are you?”

Every time Qin Yang smiled like that, it made her, as a fox, uneasy.

“Tch, go away. Don’t bother me.”

Qin Yang waved his hand and continued to ponder deeply. “Don’t disturb me; I’m thinking.”

“Hey! What’s there to think about?!”

“Master, why are you still dawdling? Shouldn’t we be pursuing our victory now?”

Xiaobai tugged at his arm, pointing toward the apartment direction outside the balcony. “If we don’t act now, that show-off human might escape Jianghai… It’s still not too late to chase him. What if he reaches the Great Li Mountains? You might not catch up then!”

As soon as she finished speaking—

Thump!

Qin Yang flicked her forehead with his knuckles and said irritably:

“What’s the point of chasing him? That guy is at the Celestial Venerable Realm. Even though I managed to injure him now, it was entirely thanks to my clone’s self-destruction. The chance of killing him is practically zero. If a Celestial Venerable Realm expert wants to escape, they have plenty of methods! Why should I waste effort chasing after him?”

“Oh.”

Xiaobai pouted, covering the bump on her head, and said pitifully:

“Then what should we do now, Master?”

“Replenish blood! Of course, replenish blood vigorously!”

Qin Yang collected his thoughts, stood up, and pushed Xiaobai toward the kitchen. “Go check what blood-replenishing ingredients we have.”

“Okay.”

A moment later.

The clattering of pots and pans came from the kitchen as Xiaobai put on an apron and busied herself with cooking.

In the living room, Qin Yang turned on his phone and started scrolling through videos while glancing at the recent trending topics.

The online public opinion turmoil was still fermenting.

This great battle had a significant impact on Jianghai City.

Meng Tianxuan’s forceful activation of his Dharma Body had affected a wide area.

The residual energy had spread outward from the apartment’s location as the center.Buildings within a radius of several miles collapsed!

Even citizens several kilometers away couldn’t escape unscathed, with many suffering injuries ranging from hearing loss to paralysis and death.

The scene was no different from a natural disaster.

….

……

Apartment.

Ruins were everywhere.

Massive chunks of reinforced concrete lay scattered about. Among the messy, collapsed building debris, pale corpse hands covered in dust and bloodstains were faintly visible…

Tap, tap…

Several teams of police officers passed by.

“Make way, make way.”

Xia He, cigarette dangling from his lips, moved past curious citizens with several officers. He ducked under the police tape and entered the apartment area.

This was the most severely affected zone, with unfinished buildings completely demolished.

Had this battle occurred in the city center, the damage would have been immeasurable, dealing a heavy blow to Jianghai’s entire economy.

“A fortunate escape amidst misfortune.”

Xia He pondered this while dismissing the officers following him. He looked up at the sky, slowly lowered his cigarette, and blew out a smoke ring.

Golden clouds drifted above his head.

Figures were faintly visible in the sky – the Supremes of the Exploding Heavens Gang remained hovering, while Old Qin was still negotiating with them.

Clearly, it would be some time before they descended.

Just then.

“Xia He!”

The Commander’s voice came from behind.

Xia He quickly turned to see him approaching.

“Sir!”

Seeing this, Xia He immediately stubbed out his cigarette, straightened up, and saluted. “What are your orders?”

“At ease, no need for such formality in private.”

The Commander waved his hand, signaling him to relax, then said quietly, “You’re still on leave. We don’t need to use formal titles.”

“Yes, si… Father-in-law.”

Hearing this, Xia He’s shoulders relaxed slightly as he pulled a cigarette from his pocket. “You should rest too, you’ve worked hard.”

“How’s Yao Yao doing?”

The Commander accepted the cigarette. “You came in such a hurry earlier – did you make proper arrangements for her?”

“Everything’s settled, Father-in-law.”

Remembering his previous words about “not getting married,” Xia He replied somewhat guiltily. “I was angry at the time and might have spoken too harshly. Please don’t take those words to heart, Father-in-law.”

“Don’t let it happen again.”

The Commander glanced at him. “Considering you were acting for Qin Yang’s sake, I’ll let it slide this time. But no more disobeying orders in the future.”

“Yes, Commander, you’re absolutely right.”

Xia He scratched his head and grinned foolishly. “But Old Qin’s my brother, you know? Sometimes when I get worked up, I just want to…”

Before he could finish,

Xia He suddenly fell silent.

His gaze extended past the Commander’s shoulder, fixed intently on the sky.

Noticing the golden clouds dissipating,

A familiar figure slowly descended,

Many citizens looked up, exclaiming in astonishment!

“He’s coming down! The Sword God’s Senior Disciple is coming down!!”

“Hurry, let’s go over!”

“Move aside, damn it, stop pushing! What’s the rush!”

…….

“Holy shit!!! Old Qin’s coming down!”

Xia He’s mind went blank at the sight. Watching Qin Yang slowly floating toward them, he instinctively abandoned the Commander and ran toward Qin Yang.

Taking two steps at a time.

Before he could process what was happening,

He threw his arms around him in a fierce embrace!After being trained by the Police Inspector, Xia He now possessed a robust physique and powerful arms. In contrast, Qin Yang’s figure appeared somewhat slender.

But this.

Did nothing to diminish Xia He’s admiration for him.

The backing of the Exploding Heavens Gang, the youngest Supreme Realm in history, battling a Celestial Venerable Realm expert… These achievements were utterly heaven-defying no matter where they were placed! And such a powerful person was actually my brother?

“Old Qin, you’re amazing!!”

“Loosen up a bit, no need to hug so tightly. I’m not going anywhere.”

Qin Yang didn’t use Star Power to block him, simply allowing the embrace. After all, they were brothers—a hug wouldn’t cost him any flesh.

“Young friend Qin…”

At this moment, Elder Li and the others had gathered as well. The Commander dispersed the people in the area and also walked over.

Seeing them, Xia He quickly released Qin Yang, coughing lightly to cover his embarrassment as he slowly stepped back to make space for Qin Yang and Elder Li.

“Elder Li, Commander…”

Once free from Xia He’s embrace.

Qin Yang nodded to each of them in greeting, then turned his gaze to Li Qinghe who was standing behind them.

Suddenly, he frowned.

Something felt off.

At this moment, Li Qinghe’s eyes were flickering, she smoothed her short hair, and looked at him with a knowing smile, as if there was some hidden story?

“The younger generation is to be feared—the youngest Supreme in history.”

Elder Li stepped forward first, stroking his white beard with deep emotion. “Having lived to this day, witnessing Young Friend Qin attain the Supreme Realm makes my life worthwhile.”

“Elder Li, you flatter me too much,”

Qin Yang said calmly, casually spouting some polite words. “It’s just a bit of cultivation, no need to take it to heart.”

“Young Friend Qin, you’re being far too modest.”

Elder Li stroked his white beard in admiration. “Your cultivation is profound now—you’re the first Supreme Realm in Jianghai City… I once thought it would be Mo Feng, but I never expected Young Friend Qin to advance even faster…”

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Yang, his eyes filled with respect:

“And you’re so much younger than Mo Feng. Truly worthy of being the Sword God’s Disciple—there’s no need for further modesty.”

“Exactly, exactly! Master, you’re being humble again.”

Li Qinghe stood behind Elder Li, her left eyelid twitching incessantly, blinking repeatedly as she made frantic subtle gestures, wearing an expression that said “I see through you.”

Qin Yang: “???”

What’s this silly girl doing?

What does she mean?

“Something wrong with your eyes?”

Qin Yang didn’t hold back, directly giving a light tap on her forehead with a “pat.” “Your eyelid is twitching so much?”

With that knock, Li Qinghe’s eyes immediately cleared.

“Ow, Master, be gentler.”

Li Qinghe rubbed her forehead, pouting with grievance. She glanced at Elder Li and the others beside her, then secretly transmitted her voice:

“Master, stop pretending, I’ve figured it out! Those Martial Uncles are just bait too, right?”

After she finished speaking.

“……”

Qin Yang fell silent, frowning.

Had this silly girl seen through him again?

He’d only just arrived, and she’d already seen through him?

But Qin Yang wasn’t surprised.

This silly girl was sharp!

She was the one who had figured out the Sword God wasn’t dead back then—she knew too much.

“If you dare leak even half a word of this, watch out for your life.”

Qin Yang lowered his gaze, calmly transmitting his voice to bluff her. “This matter concerns the secrets of my Exploding Heavens Gang and must not be known by outsiders. If it gets out, even your Martial Grandfather and I won’t be able to protect you.”

“Hehe, don’t worry, Master!””This young lady’s lips are definitely sealed tight for you. Besides me, no one else will ever know this secret!”

Li Qinghe patted her chest, bared her canine teeth with a grin, winked suggestively at Qin Yang, her heart surging with wild excitement.

If it was suspicion before,

then now, having heard Qin Yang’s personal admission, it meant everything was true!

“This young lady will keep your secret for a lifetime! Master!”

“…”

Qin Yang rolled his eyes inwardly, too lazy to respond further.

At that moment.

The Commander who had been waiting nearby approached.

“Qin Yang, where are your Martial Uncles?” the Police Inspector Commander asked gravely, gazing at the empty sky. “We haven’t properly thanked them yet.”

“No need for formalities.”

Qin Yang smiled upon hearing this. “My Martial Uncles are accustomed to being free as drifting clouds and wild cranes. They probably have no interest in lingering here.”

“Is that so… Qin Yang, let me ask you something.”

The Commander studied Qin Yang, pondered for a moment, then suddenly shifted the topic:

“Would you be interested in joining our official organization?”

“Huh?!”

Qin Yang was taken aback.

Join the official organization?
