C93 Zhang Yan

On their way back to the academy, Shang Menghan was exceptionally quiet. She followed closely behind Qin Yuan in silence until they had crossed the Dao Seeking Peak. Only then did she say, "Qin Yuan, can we be friends?"

Qin Yuan was completely clueless about this weird girl, but the two of them did not have any irreconcilable conflicts, so he could only reply, "As long as you don't meet, use your brother to pressure me, or raise your hand to slap me."

"Then we're friends!" Shang Menghan's face once again revealed a smile.

When she wasn't being unreasonable, she was still quite cute.

After Qin Yuan received one hundred and twenty points from the Illusory Dream Token, he returned to the Compendium Pavilion with Ah Cat and began to absorb and refine the Martial Seal of the three bandits of the Blackheart Stronghold.

Although they were the ones who had fallen, the three of them had high star rankings: one 5-star Common Grade, and two 4-star Absolute Grade.

It was said that these three had once participated in the Pill Martial Academy's assessment. However, because their willpower was too weak, they were blocked by the Sword Qi of the peak of Dao Seeking.

After successfully absorbing three new Martial Seals, Qin Yuan successfully advanced to a 2-star Martial Master. Furthermore, his cultivation was stable and his aura did not fluctuate at all.

At the same time, the attributes of the three Martial Seals — Violence, Petrification and Insight — passively increased Qin Yuan's strength, defense, and motion vision.

Especially the Clear Vision Martial Seal. Although it didn't have much effect on the battle attribute, as long as one secretly circulated it, they could see through the opponent's cultivation realm. Coupled with what he had learned from the Withering Heart Scholar's diary, he could even see through the Star rank of the Martial Seal.

Other than martial arts masters who could sense each other, martial arts cultivators from other realms could not see their cultivation levels without the use of a special technique, as long as they did not use their astral energy.

However, it was different with Clear Vision's Martial Seal. As long as the opponent's cultivation level was too high, Qin Yuan would be able to see through the opponent's cultivation level with one glance without his brilliant skill at restraining one's breath.

He had to mention the secret technique, "One Thousand Faces per Person", that Li Qingzhi had gifted to Qin Yuan. Not only could this secret technique change one's appearance, it also had a special restraining technique that could hide from most people's detection, including the ability to see the Martial Seal.

"After stalling for so long, it's time to begin training in this technique."

After raising his cultivation level, Qin Yuan did not immediately leave the Compendium Pavilion. Instead, he started to cultivate "One Thousand Faces per person".

What surprised him was that the difficulty of this secret art actually surpassed all the martial skills that he had cultivated in the past. Most likely, only the sword art that Ling'er had yet to learn, "Sword Break Soul", could surpass it.

However, 'One Person, One Thousand Faces' was a rare technique and Qin Yuan's comprehension far exceeded that of an ordinary person's. After spending five days, he was finally able to change his appearance and restrain his aura.

However, Qin Yuan was far from being able to change his appearance according to Li Qingzhi's will.

As far as he could, all he could do was change his appearance into that of an ordinary youth. If he wanted to go from peerless appearance to being ugly like Li Qingzhi, he would probably need more time to practice.

"Alright, this is enough for now. "I remember that in the past two days, there's been a …"

Regarding the basic theory of the Divine Stamp Master, Qin Yuan was already well versed in it. He himself had tried doing some exercises, but from beginning to end, he didn't really practice it, and no one was able to discuss it.

The Holy Mantra's argument gave him an opportunity, but listening to it was secondary. The main issue was the last question, Qin Yuan hoped to get some answers.

Summoning the Meteorite Heavy Sword, Qin Yuan had practiced "Sword Breaks the Heart" for several days, but he still couldn't get the key point.

Qin Yuan was not in a hurry. It was not hard to deduce from Ling'er's tone that the complete "Terminator Sword Technique" was a rarely seen strength. It was also reasonable that the first style was difficult to learn.

Putting away his Meteorite Heavy Sword, Qin Yuan said a few words to the drowsy Violet Eyed Tiger Ah Cat lying on the bench before heading to the Divine Seal division's "small building".

Because of the fact that the number of Saint Stamp Masters was already small, including the two teachers, the whole number of Saint Stamp division members was no more than thirty. Therefore, the space that the Saint Stamp Master took up wasn't big, but was actually quite exquisite.

After all, the status of a Divine Seal Master was quite high on the continent.

Stepping into the small building, Qin Yuan followed the directions and found the Dao Debate Hall.

It was still early, and the debate on the Dao had yet to officially begin, but over forty people had already arrived at the Dao Debate Hall.

Even if all the students of the Sacred Seal division were present, there weren't even thirty of them. It was clear that some of them were ordinary martial artists.

Their purpose in coming here was not to listen to any arguments. After all, this was of no use to them. Their true purpose was to make friends with some of the Divine Seal Masters, so that in the future, they could seek an opportunity to advance to the Star rank, or try to rope in these yet undeveloped Divine Seal Masters and join their own forces.

Among these people, Qin Yuan discovered a few familiar faces.

"Zhang Yan, you clearly promised us. Why did you go back on your word?"

"Zhan LingTian, it's not that I'm talking about … "As people ascend higher, although your Zhan Clan and He Clan have an extraordinary status in the big man, Mo Continent is still so big …" The thin youth named Zhang Yan casually looked at his fingers as he said this.

Beside Zhan LingTian, He Dandan asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" Only then did Zhang Yan look away from his finger, and looked at He Dandan, "You aren't even willing to ask me why? Hmph, I might as well tell you the truth. Does the Bai Clan know about this? Of course you know! The young master of the Bai Clan, Bai Jingtian, has personally invited me. One of the four great forces of Mozhou, could your Zhan Clan and He Clan be compared to them? "If He Dan agrees, I can consider it for a bit …"

"Some people really want to eat swan meat!"

"Who said that? "Come out!" Hearing this, Zhang Yan looked around angrily.

Qin Yuan walked over and said calmly, "It's me."

"Qin Yuan? "Why are you here?" Zhan LingTian and the He sisters said in unison.

Zhang Yan did not give the four a chance to chat and loudly said, "Qin Yuan? That arrogant honorary student? Let me tell you first, as a quasi-rank 2 Saint Seal Master, I am not someone a scum like you can casually talk about! "

"Quasi-Second Order? That would be the first step! "

"You are courting death!" Zhang Yan said with a cold expression.

Ignoring Zhang Yan's cold gaze, Qin Yuan said to Zhan LingTian and the other two, "For someone like him to return to the clan, that is only to invite a great elder. Sooner or later, we will squeeze all of your clan dry."

"Do you know what the consequence of offending a promising Divine Seal Master is?" Zhang Yan said coldly.

Judging from Zhang Yan's aura, he should be around a 1-star Martial Master. But because of his identity as a Divine Inscriptionist, he had the qualifications to act so arrogantly.

Qin Yuan was not the least bit afraid, "I'm not even afraid of the Bai Family, how could I be afraid of a First Order Divine Seal master like you? "As for his future …"

Qin Yuan secretly operated Clear Vision's Martial Seal and combined it with the skills he had learned from the Sacred Imprint Master's notes, Qin Yuan was able to determine that Zhang Yan's Martial Seal's star was a three-star saint rank.

"A three-star saint rank seal master, isn't he being too proud of his boundless future!"
