Peerless Battle Spirit-Chapter 1201 - The Illusionist Martial Monarch

As Qin Nan rapidly withdrew his battle intent, the light being emitted from the Pillar of Courage became dimmer at a shocking pace as well.

Within just a few breaths' time, the ray of light had become extremely tiny, which was not even half of the glow that Yu Langyan had triggered.

"It finally stabilized."

Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh.

He had been so close to losing control over his battle intent, which would have caused the Pillar of Courage to explode.

Meanwhile, the Pillar of Courage gradually materialized into two Courage Crystals before falling silent.

Qin Nan was stunned seeing this, whose face was instantly filled with a wry smile.

He had been too focused on withdrawing the battle intent and it seemed like he had overdone it.

He had only ended up producing two Courage Crystals. That was not enough to join the Anti-Heaven Palace.

However, the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch and the rest of the crowd were entirely dumbfounded when they saw this. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Two Courage Crystals?"

"Are you kidding me? The famous Qin Nan only produced two Courage Crystals?"

"What's going on? This doesn't make any sense. Qin Nan should at least have three, right?"

Even the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch shared the same expression.

Qin Nan was the genius who had surpassed the rules of cultivation. He was even listed as a three-starred enemy by the South-Heaven Gate, who had even survived after his encounter with a Martial Monarch Realm expert. How was it possible that his courage against the South-Heaven Gate was only enough to produce two crystals?

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Mu Mu collected her thoughts and said in a firm tone. How could Qin Nan not have the courage to go against the South-Heaven Gate?

Yi Feng could not believe it either. He had witnessed how Qin Nan had murdered the people of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground with his own eyes.

Yu Langyan who was standing nearby burst out laughing, "HAHAHA, Mu Mu, you should never judge a book by its cover. Qin Nan might be talented, but that doesn't mean he would have the courage to oppose the South-Heaven Gate!"

The crowd was startled hearing this.

Yu Langyan was right, they shouldn't judge based on what they saw on the surface.

Either way, the Pillar of Courage had never made a mistake.

Having this thought, the gazes of the cultivators on the dojo and the experts instantly changed. The respect in their eyes was entirely replaced with disdain.

So what if he had surpassed the rules of cultivation?

So what if he was listed as a three-starred enemy?

He didn’t even have the courage to oppose the South-Heaven Gate!

In that case, what he had achieved did not really matter to the Anti-Heaven Alliance!

The Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch's clone pulled a long face too. Even though he found it hard to believe, he had no choice but to accept the truth!

Yi Feng lost his thoughts as he began to have doubts too. Was Qin Nan actually afraid of the South-Heaven Gate?

Mu Mu was trying to find some words, but she had no idea how to prove the crowd wrong, thus her expression became extremely unpleasant.

No matter what, she would not believe that it was the truth.

At that instant, Qin Nan who had remained silent cast a glance at Yu Langyan before bringing his fists together and saying, "Senior, it was an accident. Is it possible for me to take the test again?"

In Qin Nan's opinion, he still preferred to join the Anti-Heaven Palace.

Otherwise, it would be quite meaningless for him to join the Anti-Heaven Alliance.

The crowd was stunned, as they did not expect Qin Nan would request to repeat the test.

The Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch's clone was stunned too. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "If you say so, I guess it wouldn't hurt to let you try again..."

He had been quite impressed by Qin Nan from the moment he saw him. He was hoping that Qin Nan would join the Anti-Heaven Palace to bring a chance to the current situation.

However, he had not expected Qin Nan to only produce two Courage Crystals. Nevertheless, since Qin Nan had requested it, he was willing to give him another chance.

Besides, there was no rule preventing the participants from taking the test again.

"Take the test again? I believe that is unnecessary."

An imperious voice could be heard all of a sudden.

An illusionary figure appeared on the dojo out of nowhere. As his monarch aura surged into the surroundings, the crowd could feel their hearts skipping a beat.

The Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch's eyes glistened.

"Greetings, Hall Leader Illusionist."

Yi Feng who was standing among the crowd immediately brought his fists together and greeted.

The person was none other than one the nine Martial Monarchs of the Anti-Heaven Palace, the Illusionist Martial Monarch who had come in his clone. He was also a Vice-Leader of the Anti-Heaven Palace, thus granting him the same status as the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch.

The people on the dojo were astounded, as they did not expect to meet another Martial Monarch.

"Hall Leader Illusionist, something did go wrong in my first attempt. If I'm allowed to go again, I can promise that I will surely produce three or more Courage Crystals." Qin Nan said in a deep voice.

"How ridiculous." The Illusionist Martial Monarch's clone glanced downward at Qin Nan and said with a hollow laugh, "The Pillar of Courage is a rare artifact from the ancient era. How could it possibly make a mistake? In my opinion, not only do you lack the courage to oppose the South-Heaven Gate, your Martial Heart is pretty fragile too! The truth is the truth, and you have no choice but to accept it!"

As a matter of fact, the reason he had purposely shown himself to rebuke Qin Nan was not to pick on him, but rather the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch instead.

Since the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch had high hopes for Qin Nan, rebuking him was like rebuking the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch himself.

Didn't you think highly of Qin Nan, Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch?

Look at the results!

The Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch's face became dark.

"Hall Leader Illusionist, you're right. It would be unusual for a rare artifact from the ancient era to make a mistake. However, it was actually an accident on my end, leading to this outcome. Can't you just let me take the test again?"

Qin Nan felt slightly unpleasant, but his tone remained as calm as usual.

The eyes of the Illusionist Martial Monarch's clone turned cold. He did not expect this Qin Nan to be so stubborn.

He had already voiced out to show his stance, but Qin Nan still insisted on taking the test a second time. Did he have no respect for him?

"My decision is final." The Illusionist Martial Monarch snapped coldly, "I do think that your Martial Heart is extremely unbalanced. Forget about the Star Aligning Palace, you will register yourself at the Dark Shadow Palace instead!"

The crowd was stunned hearing this.

They were aware that the Dark Shadow Palace was ranked third among the palaces in the Anti-Heaven Alliance.

Although Qin Nan had only produced two Courage Crystals, it did not necessarily force him to join the Dark Shadow Palace. He still had the option to join the Star Aligning Palace, considering he could pass the trial for it.

Even with Qin Nan's personality, he was extremely displeased hearing the words.

Demanding him to join the Dark Shadow Palace?

He had tried very hard just to stop himself from destroying the Pillar of Courage, and this was how he got treated in return?

Furthermore, the Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch never said that a participant was not allowed to take the test twice. Was it really that hard to let him take the test again?

"Senior!" Qin Nan changed the way he was calling the Illusionist Martial Monarch and said in a cold tone, "Since there wasn't a rule stopping me from doing it, why can't you let me take the test again? Besides, if the outcome is still the same as the first time, I'd be more than happy to join the Mystic Treasure Palace instead!"

The Mystic Treasure Palace was ranked the lowest among the four palaces!
