The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 12: She -- Isn’t Qualified Yet! (Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: She -- Isn’t Qualified Yet! (Seeking Recommendation Tickets!)

"You’re saying he’s a Transformation Realm Grandmaster?"

Ye Congjun had braved the wind and rain, participated in the Korean War, and joined the counter-attack against Vietnam. In all those turbulent years, he had lost count of how many times he’d hovered on the brink of death. Yet, even with such a life, he found this moment utterly surreal and unbelievable.

His trembling old eyebrows betrayed an astonishment so profound it felt like something out of a fairy tale.

"Chief, I know this sounds inconceivable, but it’s a fact that my cultivation, at the Great Success of Dark Energy, was not enough to withstand a single one of his moves! Even if he isn’t a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, I fear he’s not far off!"

Wang Lu knew just how absurd a sixteen or seventeen-year-old Transformation Realm Grandmaster sounded. After that single exchange, however, he had no choice but to accept it as reality. He clearly sensed that if Qin Fan had intended to cripple him then and there, his arm would have been lost for good.

Such power... to cripple him in a single move? Not even someone at the Dark Energy Peak could do that!

"Uncle Lu, are you joking? How is that possible?" Ye Xuan exclaimed, having just snapped out of her stupor, her expression complex. "That kid must have used some kind of trick! A sixteen-year-old boy defeating a Martial Artist at the Great Success of Dark Energy in one move? That’s the joke of the century! He must have cheated. Just wait—I’ll go expose his true colors!"

She wouldn’t believe Qin Fan was a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, not even if he were merely at the entry-level of Dark Energy!

"Miss, you mustn’t!" Seeing Ye Xuan turn to confront him, Wang Lu immediately stepped in her way, blocking her with a cry of alarm.

As the one who had faced him, how could he not know whether Qin Fan had used some bizarre trick? If a simple trick in an ordinary exchange could instantly defeat a Martial Artist at the Great Success of Dark Energy, then Martial Artists in this world were truly worthless!

"Xuan, stop this nonsense!" Ye Congjun barked. He had never used such a tone with his most beloved granddaughter, but at this moment, he was genuinely frantic. He had no doubt that a provoked Qin Fan would strike Ye Xuan. If that happened, who could possibly stop him?

"Grandpa! Do you really believe he’s a Transformation Realm Grandmaster? That’s impossible! If he really is one, then I, Ye Xuan, will offer myself to him for life!" Watching Wang Lu block her path and sensing her grandfather’s attitude, Ye Xuan pointed toward Qin Fan and shouted indignantly.

As the most worldly member of the Ye Family’s new generation, she naturally understood what the title "Transformation Realm Grandmaster" represented. It signified not only unparalleled might but also the refinement that only time could bestow.

Take Hua Wending, hailed as the greatest genius in the Huaxia Martial Arts World. He reached the Great Success of Ming Energy at sixteen and a half, yet only achieved the Transformation Realm after turning forty. That was a journey of more than twenty years of tempering!

Qin Fan was sixteen or seventeen at most. The title of Transformation Realm Grandmaster was completely untenable!

"Miss, the world is vast and full of wonders. While I also find it hard to believe that a teenager could be a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, it’s better to entertain the possibility than to dismiss it. He has no quarrel with us, so there is no need for us to provoke him!" Wang Lu said, his brow furrowed with grave seriousness.

Beside them, Ye Congjun, who had been frowning, suddenly felt his pale, old eyebrows twitch as he listened to Wang Lu’s words. The shock on his face morphed into excitement.

Setting aside whether Qin Fan was truly a Transformation Realm Grandmaster, the mere fact that he had defeated Wang Lu in a single move and earned his genuine submission meant he had a future so boundless that even Ye Congjun couldn’t fathom it.

Such a heaven-defying prodigy... if we could form a connection with him, what would that mean? To what new heights would the Ye Family’s future ascend?

At this thought, Ye Congjun’s entire body trembled visibly.

"Xuan, enough fussing. Come, practice some Tai Chi Fist with Grandpa!" His expression changed in a flash, the clouds of worry replaced by a brilliant smile. He reached out and pulled Ye Xuan, clad in her white training uniform, over to him. It seemed he was no longer troubled by the question of Qin Fan’s cultivation.

"Grandpa... alright!" Ye Xuan cast another reluctant glance at the motionless Qin Fan, bit her lip, and allowed her grandfather to pull her back several more meters.

「On the stone slabs by the lake」

Although Qin Fan was cultivating, he heard every word of their conversation, and the exchange piqued his curiosity.

Dark Energy? Transformation Realm? Martial Artists? So there are actually Martial Cultivators on Earth? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qin Fan was no stranger to such martial practitioners; on the Cangqiong Continent, many had entered the path of cultivation through martial arts. However, the cultivation ranks there were completely different from this "Dark Energy" and "Transformation Realm." Based on his earlier analysis of Wang Lu’s strength, the man was still a full two thresholds away from even reaching the Qi Refinement Realm.

In that case, does Transformation Realm equate to the Qi Refinement Realm?

Qin Fan suddenly felt that since Martial Cultivators existed, he needed to properly figure out what was going on here. The thought vanished in a flash as he once again purged all distractions from his mind. Unifying his focus, he returned his full attention to the Cangqiong Refining Body Decision.

An hour passed, yet he remained as immovable as a mountain. Two hours passed, and he still hadn’t moved. For four full hours, he was like a statue.

Twenty meters away, Ye Congjun and Ye Xuan still had not left. The sun was now high in the sky, marking an unusually long stay for the old man. There was only one reason for it: Qin Fan.

"Grandpa, are you waiting for that guy?" Ye Xuan asked, sitting on a stone bench after finishing her Tai Chi Fist practice.

"Heh, I’d like to have a few words with him," Ye Congjun replied with an undisguised chuckle.

"Fine by me. I want to see what he’s really made of!" Ye Xuan said through gritted teeth. She still couldn’t get over Qin Fan’s indifferent, contemptuous gaze.

Just then, Qin Fan opened his eyes.

Two hours. I’ve finally assimilated the Cangqiong Refining Body Decision. Now all that’s left is to master it completely.

With a vibrant spirit shining in his eyes, Qin Fan rose nimbly to his feet. He walked straight ahead, not sparing a single glance for Ye Congjun, his granddaughter, or Wang Lu, treating them as if they were nothing but air.

This, once again, infuriated Ye Xuan.

"Young man, please wait a moment!" Though Qin Fan was ignoring them, Ye Congjun, who had waited so long, couldn’t afford to take offense. He swallowed his pride and called out with a good-natured laugh.

Qin Fan paused. He threw a fleeting glance at Ye Xuan—just one—before shaking his head with a jeer. "I’m not interested in your granddaughter. As for her offering herself to me... she isn’t qualified."

"You... you bastard!"

Already harboring a festering indignation, Ye Xuan felt her rage about to erupt at Qin Fan’s cold mockery. He looked down on her? She wasn’t even qualified to throw herself at him?

In all of Jiangzhou, in all of Lingnan, who would dare say such a thing? The threshold to the Ye Family home was nearly worn down by suitors, and her admirers could form an entire reinforced company. Yet to Qin Fan, she wasn’t even qualified to offer herself? Those words would be hard for any girl to swallow, let alone her.

Her simmering fury finally erupted. Having just broken through the threshold from Outer Strength to Ming Energy and officially become a Martial Cultivator, she charged forward.

She was going to teach Qin Fan a lesson! Even though he had defeated Wang Lu, a master at the Great Success of Dark Energy, in a single move, she remained fearless.

This was the heiress of the Ye Family, a woman who never knew how to back down.
