“Should we wait for a breakout in the city lord’s realm?” Huang Zhong asked uncertainly.
“No.” Zhuang Yanran rejected outright.
On the one hand, he had already channeled twenty-five meridians, and even if he channeled one more, at most, he could increase his strength by only three hundred pounds. It was impossible to augment it to over ten thousand pounds, unless he could unblock all the remaining three meridians. This way, he could just break over ten thousand pounds.
On the other hand, unblocking meridians was not something that could be achieved by simply talking about it. There were many preparations needed, such as cultivating resources and meridian maps. One could not ignore the factor of time, which was not a short period, but a relatively long one.
By the time it was prepared, news of the secret chamber here would have spread. It might even leak out that he was helpless in this situation, attracting the attention of those old fellows. At that time, they would definitely come uninvited, and undoubtedly would demand a share of the spoils. Worse still, some disrespectful old fellows might not even greet them, but directly come here to violently crack the Rune Gate. If this happens, he would not be able to glimpse at the slightest gain. Why should he put in so much effort? It would be better to use up the last two chances to crack the Rune Gate now, and let everyone split up, so no one can acquire the treasures inside the secret chamber.
Huang Zhong thought for a moment, then said, “City Lord, there’s another way. I can try to contact my master. I’m limited in my abilities, but my master is highly skilled in rune use. If my master is willing to lend a hand, the Rune Gate could be easily opened.”
Zhuang Yanran’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Where is your master? How long will it take him to come?”
Huang Zhong replied, “My master stays in Qi Hua Mountain all year round. If I go to Qi Hua Mountain at my fastest speed and then return, it should take about five days.”
Upon hearing that it would take five days, Zhuang Yanran immediately shook his head, as if it were a spin drum, saying, “Five days? By the time your master comes, this matter would have gone cold.”
He glanced at the Rune Gate with a somewhat grim look in his eyes and said, “If I can’t get it, I might as well destroy it.”
Huang Zhong bowed his head, not daring to speak. He knew that Zhuang Yanran was on the verge of exploding. Unless he could come up with a reliable plan, it would be best to say nothing at all.
Zhuang Yanran’s face changed dramatically. He looked at the Rune Gate, his patience gradually dissolving, draining away rather quickly. Perhaps in the next second, Zhuang Yanran would destroy the Rune Gate.
At this moment, Qi Tian proposed with a smile, “City Lord, why don’t you let me try?”
The gazes of all three people present, Zhuang Yanran, Huang Zhong, and Bai YuJie, landed on Qi Tian. Qi Tian remained calm and composed, as if he had a plan.
“Qi Tian, are you joking? Even the City Lord can’t do it. If you try, can you?” Bai YuJie questioned.
“Clearly, I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t confident,” Qi Tian still had a faint smile on his face, as if there weren’t any matters in the world that he couldn’t handle.
Bai YuJie wanted to say something else, but Zhuang Yanran raised his hand to stop her. Zhuang Yanran scrutinized Qi Tian from head to toe. He had always suspected that Qi Tian was no ordinary person. Now that Qi Tian dared to make such a statement, and had such an assured demeanor, Zhuang Yanran was convinced this was not something an ordinary person could do.
After a moment’s pondering, Zhuang Yanran spoke slowly, “Little brother, this is the secret chamber. There are only two remaining chances to crack open the chamber through force. Do you know that once there’s a mistake, the treasures in the secret chamber will be completely gone, and we’ll have no stake in them? It’s possible there’s nothing in there, but there could also be incredibly valuable treasures. If you waste both chances, it could be seen as betraying the trust I’ve put in you.”
Qi Tian chuckled, “That’s simple. This is the storage bag I obtained from Wu Jin Xiu. I haven’t touched anything inside. Just now I said that I would split the contents with you equally. Now I’ll take out all of my half from the storage bag as collateral. If both attempts fail, I will give my half to the City Lord. How’s that? If the City Lord is still not satisfied, it’s okay. I have 1.5 million coins here, which I can also use as a wager.”
Looking at the moneybag and storage bag handed over by Qi Tian, Zhuang Yanran’s eyes flashed with greed, but he suppressed it quickly. Merely the fact that Qi Tian could produce 1.5 million coins was enough to illustrate that Qi Tian was no ordinary man. Unless Zhuang Yanran could ensure that he absolutely kills Qi Tian and no one would leak that news after, he absolutely cannot move against Qi Tian.
Honestly speaking, neither the “absolute kill” nor “leak-free news” could be guaranteed by Zhuang Yanran. Qi Tian himself was able to kill Wu Jin Xiu with just two punches, and he also had a Golden Flur Tiger by his side. It would require immense power to possibly surround and kill Qi Tian, and it was just a possibility. What if Qi Tian sacrificed the Golden Flur Tiger to cover for him? Qi Tian could certainly escape. From the “leak-free news” perspective, it was even more impossible. With so many people watching and not all loyal to Zhuang Yanran, any of them could possibly leak the secret.
Zhuang Yanran soon grasped the crux of the matter, and accepting Qi Tian’s moneybag and storage bag with a laugh, said, “Good, I will leave the two remaining attempts to you. But remember, business before friendship. If you can’t break through the Rune Gate, I will take the items in the storage bag as well as the 1.5 million coins.”
Qi Tian also smiled, brighter than Zhuang Yanran, saying, “Of course, if I fail, I have to accept the punishment. But what if I win?”

Zhuang Yanran said, “If you win, no problem. I will return the moneybag and storage bag to you intact, and I will not lay a finger on the items within. Additionally, after the secret chamber is opened, I will let you choose a treasure first from the chamber. How’s that?”
Trading 1.5 million coins for a piece of treasure seemed a bad deal. However, Qi Tian instantly agreed. After all, he’d already profited. How much is too much? If he quibbles over this now, it only shows that he is petty, which would cast doubt on his identity to Zhuang Yanran. If a rich family’s son goes out to treat someone to dinner, would they argue over which restaurant to choose?
Qi Tian asked, “May I borrow the city lord’s boxing glove?”
Zhuang Yanran handed the Jifeng Boxing Glove to Qi Tian without hesitation, laughing and said, “Feel free to use it, little brother.” He wanted to befriends Qi Tian, naturally he couldn’t be petty.
Qi Tian put on the Jifeng Boxing Gloves and clenched his fists. He immediately felt as if a surging and powerful force was gathering in his palms, confirming that the gloves were indeed of high quality.
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yanran smiled and said: “It seems, noble brother, you quite like these boxing gloves. No matter whether you can break the Rune Gate or not, I will give them to you.”
Qi Tian did not refuse, replying: “I will accept them without reservation.”
This was the first time Qi Tian referred to himself as the “younger brother” in front of Zhuang Yanran. Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yanran burst into hearty laughter.
Qi Tian stood in front of the Rune Gate. Zhuang Yanran stopped laughing and watched Qi Tian silently.
Huang Zhong and Bai YuJie were standing together, watching Qi Tian with an inexplicable look while discussing in hushed tones.
“Old Bai, do you think this Qi Tian can break open the Rune Gate?”
Bai YuJie responded, “There are countless unique and strange talents in this world. Perhaps he’s one of them. Besides, I saw with my own eyes how he killed Wu Jin Xiu with just two punches. How can that be a lie?” He had not a single doubt about Qi Tian, especially about Qi Tian’s identity. He was very certain of it and dared not easily offend Qi Tian.
“Wu Jin Xiu was just a good-for-nothing. Although he was at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, it’s uncertain how efficient he really was. Maybe he just had nine energy channels opened, which allowed Qi Tian to kill him in one strike.” Huang Zhong always doubted Qi Tian’s combat power, mainly because Qi Tian killed Wu Jin Xiu too easily, making it hard for him to believe how strong Qi Tian’s combat power could be.
…
Qi Tian walked to the Rune Gate. Without any adjustment, he invoked his body’s True Essence, first activating the runes on the Jifeng Boxing Gloves, swinging his fist mightily towards the Rune Gate.
True Essence Power started, adding more than four thousand pounds.
Eighth Move of Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist – Tiger Ambition, adding four hundred pounds of force.
Activation of the runes on the Jifeng Boxing Gloves added another thousand pounds of force.
Finally, the activation of the Heavenly Dao Engine, doubling the power.
Qi Tian’s strength rapidly increased and instantly broke the ten thousand pound barrier, reaching the horrifying force of ten thousand and eleven pounds.
The punch fell on the Rune Gate with astonishing momentum, much like a rock smashing through a glass
Crack…
A crisp sound echoed.
The Rune Gate was covered with dense cracks, then shattered, falling apart, and disappeared.
Soon, in the position of the Rune Gate, a dark hole appeared which was wide enough for a person to pass through. A breeze blew into the hole, and the inside lit up instantly.
Broken, it was just like that, broken.
Huang Zhong watched in disbelief. He thought Qi Tian was the least likely to open the Rune Gate, but to his surprise, Qi Tian managed unravel it with just one punch. Does it mean that such an immense power is even comparable to that of the City Lord?
Incredible, it’s really incredible.
How old is Qi Tian? Twelve, or thirteen?
What level of the cultivation realm has Qi Tian reached? Qi Cultivating Stage 4?
God! Realizing this, Huang Zhong felt a wave of envy so intense it bordered on madness. If Qi Tian continues to grow like this, his future prospects might be immeasurable.
Must befriend, must befriend! At all costs, must befriend!!
