Chapter 89: The First Breakthrough of Extreme Cold Gaze
“Damn! What are these perverts? I haven’t even started to understand, and they’ve already grasped it. Is the gap really that wide?”
“I’m done, I’m done. This isn’t for someone like me. I guess I’ll just enjoy Miss Ling’s music instead.”
Xiao Huan, standing above, simply smiled at these self-defeated folks.
Her gaze was locked onto contestants who had already yielded results.
As long as the artistic conception of Ling Kexin’s music could be comprehended, strange phenomena would appear in no time.
Just take the current situation as an example.
In the hall, over a hundred people were surrounded by abundant spiritual energy.
You could even see glowing orbs.
Each orb represented that this person had understood the artistic conception of a song.
During this period, whether practicing or comprehending techniques and magical powers, these individuals would enjoy results that were twice as effective with half the effort.
This is the brilliance of Ling Kexin’s music.
And in the box where Qin Xiu was, there were a total of five orbs.
That means Qin Xiu had comprehended five songs in just half an hour.
Xiao Huan was shocked upon seeing this.
Qin Xiu had never displayed such prowess on regular days.
It typically took him an hour to comprehend a single song.
Today, this was no mere extraordinary performance.
He had likely employed some special means.
And indeed, the truth was so.
Qin Xiu knew Qin Bei was also present.
So, in order to crush Qin Bei, he directly pushed his potential to the limit.
…
Xiao Huan glanced at the box where Qin Bei was.
Her brows knitted together involuntarily.
Because there wasn’t even a single orb in sight.
This…
was ridiculous.
She was well aware of who was in there.
Prince Bei!
According to the news from Langya Pavilion.
This was someone capable of comprehending immortal-level magical powers in the Body Refinement Realm.
How could it be that he had yet to grasp even the artistic conception of a single song?
Could it be that comprehending immortal-level magical powers, the Extreme Cold Gaze, was all just good luck?
How is that even possible!
But given the current situation, Xiao Huan had to speculate this way.
Ling Kexin in the Spirit Pavilion was completely unfazed by the scene.
In fact, she appeared somewhat leisurely.
And just like that, another hour passed.
By this time, most people had thrown in the towel.
The one closest to success was Qin Xiu.
Outside his box, nine orbs had already appeared.
This meant Qin Xiu had only one last song left to comprehend.
“Damn! Having an enlightened body makes a difference—it’s clear that Prince Xiu is going to be Miss Ling’s top suitor.”
“I concede. I must admit it—I’m getting old! I can only grasp three songs. For the remaining seven, I know that no matter how much time you give me, it won’t help. If I can’t comprehend it, then I just can’t.”
“Me too! I thought all my years of accumulation would give me some edge, but it turns out to be absolutely useless.”
“Let’s get practicing quickly. While Miss Ling’s enhancements are still active, I need to push my skills further!”
“Yes, yes, yes! You who haven’t comprehended should move aside a bit— we need to break through here!”
Everyone: …
Though they were all quite frustrated, all they could do was go along with what others said.
Under these circumstances, a spectacular scene emerged in the Spirit Pavilion.
Hundreds of people sat on the ground, encircled by glowing orbs.
Everyone focused intently on practicing or comprehending their techniques.
After a while…
“I’ve done it! I finally broke through to the Ninth Level of the Golden Core Realm!”
“Hahaha! I’ve also made it to the Third Level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Miss Ling’s music truly makes practice so much more effective!”
“I’ve finally managed to grasp the low-level divine ability that I never could before!”
“What a pity! I could only comprehend three pieces of music. If I could grasp all ten, just imagine how astonishing the enhancements would be! Just thinking about it gets me hyped.”
…
In the crowd, one after another, break-throughs occurred.
Every face was adorned with joy.
This is why Ling Kexin was so popular with them.
With Ling Kexin’s help, their cultivation felt like cheating!
But after the excitement, everyone looked over at Qin Xiu’s box, their eyes full of envy.
However, at that moment, a majestic aura suddenly surged from another box.
Woosh~
Everyone felt as if they heard the sound of spiritual energy going wild.
They turned their heads towards the source of the energy.
There, it seemed to be Prince Qin Zhen’s box.
Zi~
Zi~
Subtle sounds rang out.
“What’s that? Why is everything freezing?”
Everyone stared in shock at the walls and ground around them.
In just a few breaths, everything was coated in ice.
Sharp shards of ice jutted out, looking like countless deadly weapons.
Hiss~
Suddenly, everyone felt a chill spread through their bodies.
Lower-ranked cultivators found their feet frozen to the ground.
“Damn! What is Prince Qin Zhen doing? I’m just a mere Golden Core cultivator, is this really necessary?”
“Senior, help us quick, move—”
Before these Golden Core cultivators could finish speaking, they were frozen in place.
Their mouths sealed shut, unable to utter another word.
“Who!”
A loud shout erupted from the box where Qin Xiu was.
“Qin Bei!”
Once he regained his composure, Qin Xiu immediately realized it was Qin Bei who had interrupted his comprehension.
He couldn’t contain his emotions and shouted out in anger.
Bang!
The door to the box was smashed open, and Qin Xiu’s furious figure appeared in the hall.
Everyone watched Qin Xiu with a look of amusement.
“Qin Bei! Get out here!”
Qin Xiu’s anger had reached its peak.
Not only did Qin Bei snatch Ling Kexin from him, but now he had the audacity to use such despicable means to interrupt his comprehension.
Truly shameless to the extreme!
Creak~
The door to the box where Qin Bei was opened.
But it was Qin Zhen who stepped out.
“Qin Xiu, be quiet. Don’t embarrass my royal family here.”
“Royal brother! What do you mean by that? If Qin Bei had competed with me openly, I wouldn’t have said a word even if I lost, but what’s this? If he wants to fight, then he should come and face me directly. Stop doing these underhanded sneak attacks that tarnish my royal family’s dignity!”
“Xiao Bei just had a moment of comprehension and accidentally harmed everyone. I apologize to each of you on his behalf.”
Qin Zhen bowed his head slightly, his tone apologetic.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he freed the frozen Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Royal brother, are you taking sides? He interrupted my comprehension; does he not need to come out and say something? He should at least apologize to me! And what about these folks? They were also cultivating and got interrupted—don’t they deserve an explanation too?”
Qin Xiu said angrily.
“Oh~~ No, no! Not necessary! Prince Xiu is too polite. When practicing, it’s natural for things to get out of control during a breakthrough. Prince Bei doesn’t need to apologize to us.”
“Yes, yes! If we got interrupted, it’s really no big deal.”
The group pointed at by Qin Xiu hurriedly shook their heads.
Before, when they didn’t know who was inside, they had been genuinely furious at being interrupted and thought of causing trouble for the intruder.
But upon hearing Qin Bei’s name…
Prince Bei?
Cause trouble for him?
Better not.
After all, the prince of the Ancient Beast Kingdom was already put in his place yesterday, so it was wiser for them to endure.
Besides, it was best to avoid getting involved in the sibling squabbles of these princes. Otherwise, they might offend someone and not see the sun rise the next day.
