The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 253 - 249: Young Grandmaster! (1)

With that, the Master who had shouted in a deep voice lunged at Qin Fan! The other five Masters, understanding the unspoken command, surged forward in a coordinated siege.

At this point, no one dared to underestimate Qin Fan. After all, how could they afford to take lightly an expert who could grievously injure the seventh-ranked Master on the Heavenly List with a single move?

"It seems the Masters of the Heavenly List can't take a hit, but their courage is commendable! Not bad, not bad at all!" Qin Fan chuckled, glancing at the Masters rushing toward him.

"Arrogant brat, face us!" the six of them shouted in unison.

Fists and feet, palms and claws—they all struck at Qin Fan, who remained perfectly still.

"First Form of the Earth Evil, Mountain-Bursting Slash!"

Before their attacks could land, Qin Fan roared. His hands transformed into blades, and True Qi surged violently into them as he chopped through the air with terrifying force!

SHRED!

SHRED!

The wind from his hand-blades howled, accompanied by a sharp ripping sound. The clothes of the Masters caught within the attack's range were instantly torn to shreds!

On their exposed skin, a distinct red mark was clearly visible!

"Qi Force? Grandmaster, are you a Grandmaster?"

Incredulous cries escaped the lips of the Masters whose clothes had been sliced open by the Qi Force. They froze in place, their bodies reacting instinctively.

Grandmaster? Could a teenager be a Grandmaster? That's utterly preposterous! But if he isn't a Grandmaster, how can we explain this Qi Force, the very symbol of a Grandmaster?

With that single move from Qin Fan, a sensation called fear flooded their hearts. How could they possibly have a chance against a Grandmaster? Even with double their numbers, they would be nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs before him!

"Grandmaster? I don't know, perhaps," Qin Fan said, first shaking his head, then nodding. "Come on, show me everything you've got. Let me test the true strength of this so-called Heavenly List!"

"I concede!"

"I concede!"

"I concede!"

Six cries of surrender sounded one after another. Even the Master who had previously vowed to defend the dignity of the Martial Arts World shouted his concession, his face taut with tension.

As their voices faded, all six dropped to one knee, facing Qin Fan. In that moment, they had completely lost the will to fight.

If defeating the dark, burly man in one move could be attributed to his opponent's carelessness, and if defeating Master Ou, seventh on the Heavenly List, was an accident, then Qin Fan's display of Qi Force could no longer be explained away by any 'if'. Moreover, they could clearly sense that Qin Fan had held back, carefully controlling the Qi Force unleashed from his hand-blades. Otherwise, they would not be standing here talking right now! As they connected these events in their minds, a terrifying conclusion exploded in their thoughts. He's a Grandmaster, a teenage Grandmaster! Although it sounds like a joke, like a wild fantasy, the facts are right in front of us. We have to accept it! Can a mere Dark Energy Peak expert heavily injure the seventh-ranked Master on the Heavenly List in a single blow? Can someone at the Dark Energy Cultivation level unleash Qi Force? Would anyone below the rank of Grandmaster dare to arrogantly challenge all of us Heavenly List Masters at once? From this, it's clear Qin Fan isn't ignorant—he's absolutely fearless!

"Is this how you defend the dignity of the Martial Arts World?" Qin Fan was taken aback by the sight of these prestigious Heavenly List Masters suddenly kneeling in surrender. He shook his head and scoffed.

"A Grandmaster must not be offended, a Grandmaster must not be provoked, and a Grandmaster must certainly not be insulted!" Liu Chengguang, third on the Heavenly List, had lost all his previous anger and arrogance. He bowed his head and recited these three golden rules of the Martial Arts World.

The dignity of the Martial Arts World is indeed their duty to defend, but that duty only applies when their opponent's Cultivation is below that of a Grandmaster! Now, facing a young, unfathomable Grandmaster whose depths they couldn't possibly probe, defending their dignity? That would be courting death! Besides, kneeling and conceding to a Grandmaster isn't shameful. No one would dare gossip or criticize them for it. For instance, it was rumored that even previous top-ranked experts on the Heavenly List had kneeled and begged before Hua Xiaotian, yet it never affected their status in the Martial Arts World or attracted any condemnation. Anyone familiar with the Martial Arts World knows just how terrifying the title 'Grandmaster' truly is!

"Are you sure I'm a Transformation Realm Grandmaster?" Qin Fan asked probingly with a frown.

"Qi Force is the most obvious symbol of a Transformation Realm Grandmaster! Grandmaster Qin, please forgive us for being blind to your greatness!" Liu Chengguang said, clasping his fists.

Qin Fan nodded thoughtfully. Qi Force? So that is the chasm between the Dark Energy and Transformation Realms? But for a Cultivator, someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage can already kill an opponent invisibly with Energy Transformation. Does that mean the Foundation Establishment Stage is equivalent to the Transformation Realm on Earth?

With this, Qin Fan finally had a basic understanding of the Martial Arts concept.

What Realms lie beyond the Transformation Realm? Do Cultivation Realms like Golden Core and Nascent Soul have corresponding levels of strength in the Martial Arts of this Earth?

For a moment, Qin Fan couldn't stop his imagination from running wild, so much so that he forgot that several Martial Arts Masters were still kneeling before him, awaiting his command. As long as Qin Fan didn't speak, the Heavenly List Masters dared not rise.

「On the red carpet at the perimeter.」

The various underworld overlords, who had been certain of Qin Fan's demise, now looked utterly aghast, their faces drained of all color.

This has to be an illusion! It's impossible for someone so young to become a Grandmaster! But no matter how they tried to hypnotize themselves, the scene before them remained unchanged: several Heavenly List Masters were kneeling to Qin Fan.

Zhou Yitian's complexion was not just pale but also filled with an undisguisable panic.

Remembering what he had said to Qin Fan earlier, he trembled uncontrollably. Even the Masters of the Heavenly List had to kneel to Qin Fan, and they themselves said a Grandmaster must not be insulted. Yet he had warned Qin Fan to stay away from his daughter, told him he was unworthy of even approaching her! The word 'regret' instantly consumed his entire being. He regretted his ignorance, but even more, he regretted missing the chance to forge a close relationship with a Grandmaster! Looking at the young man standing there with his hands behind his back, he wished he could slap himself hard across the face.

"Rise," Qin Fan said indifferently after a moment, having pulled himself from his thoughts.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Qin!" the six men replied in unison, finally rising to their feet.

"Ye Jizu!" Qin Fan called out, looking over at him.

"Master Qin!" Ye Jizu hurried over, his voice tight with anxiety.

"How long would it take you to take over the entire Huaxia Underworld?" Qin Fan asked.

Take over the entire Underworld? Is he going to back Ye Jizu, letting him devour our forces and resources without restraint? At Qin Fan's words, the overlords on the red carpet panicked.

Amid the overlords' drastically changing expressions, Ye Jizu's facial muscles began to tremble violently. His breathing and heart rate skyrocketed as he replied, "Master Qin, with my current abilities, the territory of the entire Huaxia Underworld is too vast for me to take over! But, given the opportunity, I could consolidate the entire Southern territory in three years and place it under your absolute command!"

Even in his tense excitement, Ye Jizu never forgot to express his loyalty to Qin Fan once again. It had to be said, the promise to place it "under your absolute command" was phrased perfectly.
