Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker

"You want to challenge me?"

Chu Zhongtian looked at Qin Zi and calmly asked.

"Yes!"

Qin Zi replied with neither humility nor arrogance.

"Come back another time."

Chu Zhongtian's expression was calm as water, and he said indifferently, "I won't accept your challenge today."

"Why? Do you also think I'm not qualified?"

Qin Zi asked.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of qualifications, I just simply don't want to accept it."

"Give me a reason!" Qin Zi stared at him and said.

"Because the gap in our cultivation levels is too great. I admit you're outstanding, but I've already reached the Supreme Realm, and you're only at the Tongtian Realm."

Chu Zhongtian calmly said.

"As a prodigy renowned in the Eastern Domain, you should know that a realm isn't everything, right?" Qin Zi said.

"Yes, that's true."

Chu Zhongtian nodded, his face as calm as ever, "However, my cultivation level is still much higher than yours, and that's an undeniable fact."

"If I were to bully you with my cultivation, then even a win would be meaningless to me."

"And if I were to suppress my cultivation level to fight you, it's as if I'm tying my own hands and feet. Such a battle would be equally meaningless to me."

Qin Zi had to admit, there was indeed some logic in that.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind!

He looked at Chu Zhongtian, his eyes burning, and said, "Then what if I can match you without you suppressing your cultivation level?! Then you can fight me, right?"

Chu Zhongtian fell silent for a moment.

Qin Zi stared intently at him.

After a while, Chu Zhongtian suddenly grinned cunningly, "Then I especially can't fight you! If my cultivation is so much higher and I still can't beat you, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Do you think I'm stupid?!"

"Say no more, I cannot fight you today. You should go back... until we meet again!"

With that, he suddenly turned around, transformed into a beam of purple light, and rushed into the depths of the Qi Family's domain at an astonishing speed.

"This... this..."

Qin Zi stood there dumbfounded, staring at the Chu Family's gate, which was swaying in the airflow caused by the purple light.

So this is the Young Master of the Chu Family?

Chu Zhongtian?

He's completely different from what I imagined!

Aren't prodigies supposed to be aloof and proud?

Shouldn't he be like Chu Tiancai, valuing his dignity more than life, always high above and ready to suppress others at the slightest disagreement?

This guy...

Isn't playing by the rules at all!

"Ah, whatever. This guy is too clear-headed and thick-skinned to be easily fooled. Better to try another family."

Qin Zi knew that this challenge was hopeless; the other party simply wouldn't accept, and there was nothing he could do.

With the Chu Family's defensive strength, even if he rammed his head against the gate till it bled or died, he wouldn't be able to get in.

So, he decided to leave.

"Humph, I came to challenge, yet Chu Zhongtian doesn't dare to fight. Such a coward! Away I go!"

Qin Zi taunted the strong men at the Chu Family gate with a shout and then soared into the sky, leaving.

Meanwhile, the strong men of the Chu Family exchanged glances, their expressions strange — this kid sure was dramatic.

...

After leaving the Chu Family, Qin Zi decided to go to the Dongsheng Divine Sect, one of the two Holy Land Sects in the Eastern Domain, to challenge them!

Considering the three major flourishing royal families and the two Holy Lands, only the Dongsheng Divine Sect and the Chu Family were relatively close.

Of course, this so-called closeness was only relative; in fact, it was still far.

After all, he had to pass through the territories of these two major forces, and this territory encompassed numerous regions.

To speak of the area governed by the Chu Family alone, there were dozens of sects like the Yellow Springs Sect, and the territory that the Yellow Springs Sect managed wasn't small either.

Whoosh!

In the sky, Qin Zi rode a massive red feather, with the blue sky and white clouds swiftly receding around him.

This was a treasure he obtained from the Fire Phoenix Nest of the Zhou Family, one of the seven tail feathers of that "Fire Phoenix."

This feather wasn't very offensive, but its flight speed was astonishing, so it had become Qin Zi's transportation tool.

With his cultivation at the seventh level of the Tongtian Realm, he could drive this feather at speeds comparable to a Celestial Saint, almost terrifying.

"Heh heh, who would've thought even I'd have such a day..." Qin Zi, seated cross-legged on the feather, giggled foolishly.

Now, he was brazenly challenging the major superpowers, and they didn't even dare to fight back.

What majesty!

If it were the past, who would dare to imagine such a thing? Just taunting at the gates would have gotten him chased off or killed by the guards.

All of this came from his identity.

Because he had a good father!!

"My dad is Qin Chuan!" with this one sentence, which force in the Eastern Domain would not give him some face?

Although this world thrived on power, and one's own strength was fundamental... having a powerful father was really nice.

He didn't intend to win lying down.

But having a powerful father made him happy.

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, the serene sea of clouds ahead seethed and surged, rolling into giant waves hundreds of meters high, like a tsunami crashing in.

When this massive mass of white clouds swelled to a certain height and formed a roof-like covering over Qin Zi's head, it suddenly turned into a giant lion's head, opening its bloody maw to devour Qin Zi.

"It's the Law of Clouds!"

Qin Zi's face changed drastically as he maneuvered the feather to swiftly veer aside, only to see the feather shine brightly as it flew out through the side of the lion's mouth.

"Boom!"

That cloud-formed lion's head bit into the air, smashing onto the sea of clouds, breaking apart like a water balloon hitting the ground, scattering billows of cloud mist in all directions.

"Oh no!"

Qin Zi exclaimed as the feather he was riding was flipped over by the cloud mist, throwing him off while the feather was swept away into the distance.

"Ha ha, pretty fast, if this old man were careless for even a moment, you little cub would have truly escaped."

An elderly voice echoed.

Qin Zi turned to look.

Only to see the sea of clouds ahead part as an elderly man in black emerged, standing with his hands behind his back amidst the clouds, particularly conspicuous.

"Who are you, and what do you want? My dad is Qin Chuan!"

Qin Zi vigilantly said.

"Ha ha, of course, this old man knows your father is Qin Chuan. If he weren't, why would this old man bother to chase you?"

The elder sneered.

"Are you from the Lu Family? Or the Chu Family?" Qin Zi's face slightly changed, realizing that this person was prepared.

Thus, the other party wouldn't care who his father was, and if he kept saying 'my dad is Qin Chuan,' he might die more miserably.

"Ha ha, take a guess."

The elder smirked playfully, as if there was no way he would say it — not even in death.

"Senior, with all due respect, killing me is not worth it for you. No matter how secretly you do it, it will be exposed one day. By then, not only will you die, but your family and friends might also suffer."

Qin Zi calmly analyzed.

"Hmm, makes sense."

The elder nodded with a smile, then said, "But maybe not. By the time it's exposed, your father might already be dead! By then, who would trouble me?"

"You! Your target is my father?!"

Qin Zi's eyes widened suddenly.

Initially, he thought it was someone from the Lu Family or Chu Tiancai who sent an assassin, but now it seemed more likely it was other forces.

These people wanted to sow discord, make his father and the Lu Family or Chu Family ruin each other, then reap the benefits!

After all, his father had burst onto the scene, hailed as the number one below the Emperor, threatening many people.

"Ha ha, maybe."

The elder smiled mysteriously, remaining ambiguous, causing Qin Zi to doubt his judgment again.

This old man might belong to the Lu Family or Chu Family, but he could also be from other forces in the Eastern Domain, or even be a loose cultivator instructed by someone!

"What is that?!"

Suddenly, Qin Zi pointed behind the elder in horror, as if he saw something terrifying.

"Ha ha, child's trick, and you dare show it off in front of this old man..."

The elder in black wasn't swayed, watching Qin Zi's performance with amusement, but before he could finish speaking, his head was gone.

"Chomp!!"

A bloody maw devoured it in one bite.
