Chapter 392: Breaking Through to the Late Stage, Group Placements Concluded

Although his first two moves had failed to budge Qin Xiao, Ji Zhengyang had one last trump card: the Ji Clan’s unique secret technique, which consumed essence blood to forcibly double his combat power.

This secret technique was similar to a Spirit-Burst Pill. However, while a Spirit-Burst Pill had a time limit, this secret technique did not. As long as a cultivator possessed enough essence blood, they could maintain it indefinitely.

Its side effects were also more severe. Replenishing essence blood was a slow process, so cultivators would only use the technique as a last resort.

Ji Bochang could see how extraordinary Qin Xiao was. His son’s two strikes could defeat opponents at his own level, yet Qin Xiao hadn’t budged. Qin Xiao was clearly much stronger. A Body Refinement cultivator who had reached this level was far beyond comparison with a Heavenly Spirit Root cultivator.

His son had always been arrogant, so suffering a minor setback today was not a bad thing. However, if he were about to use the secret technique, Ji Bochang had to intervene. A desperate move that damaged the user almost as much as the enemy had no place in a mere placement match.

But Ji Bochang’s warning was too late. Ji Zhengyang’s Blood Qi was already surging, a clear sign that he had activated the secret technique.

“Qin Xiao, if you can take this move too, I’ll concede.”

Even after activating the secret technique, Ji Zhengyang still lacked complete confidence. His previous two strikes had entirely failed to probe Qin Xiao’s true depths.

“Oh? Your aura has grown quite a bit. It seems you really do have some skill. Don’t worry, just make your move.”

The sharp increase in Ji Zhengyang’s aura told Qin Xiao that he had used some special method.

“Has Eldest Brother gone mad? He actually used the secret technique?”

Ji Zhengchao was somewhat puzzled by his eldest brother’s actions.

“Cousin must be flying into a rage out of humiliation. Qin Xiao, oh Qin Xiao, you really are a wonderful master. Aren’t you just stirring up trouble for me?”
