Junior Brother, don't you really want to give it a try?

For the next few days, Qin Yi stayed in the secret room to cultivate.

However, during this time, Mu Wan sent two more Yuanhai Lingqiao Pills to Qin Yi for use.

Seven days later.

With his domineering cultivation technique, Qin Yi absorbed and refined abundant resources, breaking through his cultivation level to the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm.

"The official competition is the day after tomorrow."

"I still have over 20,000 Star Points, I'm going to the Star Cave!"

"I've been stuck on the final step of fusing the three great sword intents—the Gale Sword Intent, the Thunder Sword Intent, and the Blazing Fire Sword Intent—but the environment of the Star Intent Cave will be useful to me!"

The next moment, Qin Yi left the secret room and went directly to the Star Intent Cave of the Heavenly Star Martial Academy.

Upon arriving at Starry Cave, I paid 1,000 Star Points.

Qin Yi then descended towards the bottom of the Starry Sky Cave.

The three sword intents surged together.

Soon, Qin Yi arrived at the area with the greatest pressure, near the bottom of the Starry Cave.

Last time, he used this immense pressure to forcefully complete the fusion of the three great sword intents here.

However, that time, it was extremely difficult.

This time, Qin Yi already possessed the foundation to fuse the three great sword intents; all that was missing was that final step.

He took a deep breath and then immersed himself in three completely different moods.

Sometimes it is as swift as thunder, sometimes as fierce as flames, and sometimes as howling as wind and waves.

Before we knew it, most of the day had passed.

Qin Yi, who was immersed in the three moods, suddenly opened his eyes.

His body continued to fall, reaching the bottom of the Starry Cave. The next moment, the Gale Sword Intent, the Blazing Fire Sword Intent, and the Thunder Sword Intent intertwined and became inseparable.

Qin Yi's eyes flashed.

A sword strike was unleashed!

Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Swift Sword Technique!

The terrifying sword energy instantly cleaved the ground, creating a crack over thirty feet long and seven feet deep!

Looking at the sword energy that erupted after the three sword intents merged and left marks on the ground, Qin Yi showed a rather satisfied expression.

Next, he activated the Primordial Demonic Art, visualized the demonic image, activated the Blood Sea Pagoda, burned his enormous blood and qi power, and mobilized the demonic energy to unleash a sword strike that combined the three great sword intents once again.

This sword strike created a crack in the ground that was over seventy feet long and nine feet deep.

"If I were standing in front of Song Gui, a cultivator at the third level of the Heavenly Cave Realm of the Tianxuan Palace, and I were to unleash a full-force sword strike, how many lives would Song Gui need to survive?"

"Even without the enhancement of demonic arts, Song Gui should die from a normal burst of power."

Having finished his training, Qin Yi prepared to leave the Starry Intent Cave. His body surged upwards, but while still in the middle section of the cave, a young man standing at the entrance of a cave on the nearby rock wall suddenly shouted, "Brother Qin, wait!"

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he stopped. He stared at the young man and immediately recognized that he was a cultivator at the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm. The pattern on his robe meant that he was a disciple of the Tianquan Palace.

"Is something the matter?" Qin Yi asked.

The young man cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Brother Qin, I am Chu Huai Ren, a disciple of Tianquan Palace. I heard that you came to Xingyi Cave, so I specially waited for you here."

"Chu Huai Ren?" A look of vigilance appeared on Qin Yi's face.

This name doesn't sound like a good person at all!

Chu Huai Ren: "Furthermore, I am also a prince of the Great Chu Dynasty."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement: "Speak your mind."

"Brother Qin, may I come in and speak with you?" Chu Huai-ren asked.

After saying that, he turned his body to the side and gestured for Qin Yi to enter the cave.

Qin Yi is now considered highly skilled and daring. Moreover, this is the Starry Intent Cave, where Yuan Power can only be used at the very bottom. In this kind of cave, Yuan Power cannot be mobilized.

Qin Yi now possesses the confidence to fuse three great sword intents, and even some of the higher-ups at Tianxing Martial Academy would likely be no match for him within this Star Intent Cave.

After he entered the cave.

Chu Huai-ren followed him in.

There were only the two of them.

Chu Huai-ren said, "I've wanted to befriend you, Brother Qin, for a long time, but I haven't had a good opportunity."

"I have always admired Brother Qin's talent."

"As for the Great Xia Dynasty and those guys from the Qin family, I don't think they're any good!"

"Get to the point," Qin Yi emphasized.

Chu Huai-ren laughed and said, "Since Brother Qin is such a straightforward person, then I will speak my mind as well."

"Here's the thing, I will also be representing Tianquan Palace to participate in the Tianxing Grand Competition. We might run into each other then. If I were to fight Brother Qin, I would like to ask Brother Qin... to show mercy."

Qin Yi frowned slightly: "You want to throw the match? Make me lose to you?"

"No, no, no..." Chu Huai Ren hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I know I am no match for Brother Qin, so I only hope that I will not lose too badly. As long as Brother Qin lets me last ten moves, that will be fine."

Qin Yi said, "There are forty participants from the Seven Palaces. Are you so sure you'll encounter me?"

Chu Huai-ren: "So, I also communicated with people from other palaces. Although I can't ask everyone to go easy on me, if ten or eight people are willing to help, then the chances of me maintaining my dignity will be much greater."

"Of course, this isn't a favor for Brother Qin to do for nothing."

"I'm willing to offer 100,000 spirit stones as a token of my gratitude!"

After saying that, Chu Huai Ren took out a storage ring and handed it to Qin Yi.

When Qin Yi destroyed the Qin family branch in Fenghua City last time, he only obtained more than 70,000 spirit stones.

He usually cultivates by taking pills and using spirit stones, which consumes a lot of energy. If he could get another 100,000 spirit stones, he could sustain himself for a longer period of time.

We can't rely on Mu Wan to provide all the cultivation resources.

Chu Huai Ren said, "Brother Qin, I gave everyone else 50,000 spirit stones. I gave you a little more because I wanted you to go easy on me, and I also thought it would be a gift for our first meeting."

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Okay!"

Anyway, it won't harm my own interests.

Establishing a relationship with the princes of the Great Chu Dynasty might come in handy in the future.

He accepted the storage ring given to him by Chu Huai Ren, and probed it with his spiritual power, and sure enough, he found a mountain of spirit stones.

Chu Huai Ren chuckled, then asked, "What about the competition?"

Qin Yi said, "If we meet after the Heavenly Star Competition begins, I will go easy on you and let you last for thirty moves."

Chu Huai Ren chuckled and said, "No need for that many, about ten moves will be enough. Thirty moves would be too fake..."

Qin Yi was speechless for a moment, and then left Xingyi Cave.

After returning to my residence.

They discovered that Feng Linglong had arrived.

"Senior Sister Feng," Qin Yi greeted her.

Today, Feng Linglong wore a long red dress that accentuated her perfect figure, with exquisite makeup and fiery red lips.

"Junior Brother Qin, the competition starts tomorrow. I'd like to ask you for help to see if I can improve my Wind Spirit Root further," Feng Linglong said with a smile.

Qin Yi glanced at Yun Meng'er's residence next door.

Feng Linglong said, "Junior Sister Meng'er has something to attend to and won't be back for a few hours."

Qin Yi: "That's not what I meant..."

Feng Linglong didn't care what he meant.

He pounced on Qin Yi and began to slowly transfer his top-grade wind spirit root to him.

This time it took even longer...

It went on for so long that Feng Linglong was almost suffocating.

"Junior Brother Qin...don't you really want to give it a try before I leave?"
