Chapter 75: The Lottery of Explosions!

"Ding! Completed side quest - The Great Expectations of Emperor Qian! Quest details: Outshine various geniuses at the Qian Yue Genius Banquet! Gain 3000 experience points and a chance for a random draw!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through the eighth level of the Foundation Building realm!"

Two consecutive system prompts woke up Qin Jun from his drowsiness. He reflexively sat up from the bed, nervously looking around, and took a while to fully wake up.

If it weren't for the surging source of spiritual power in his body, he probably wouldn't have realized that he had completed the quest.

"I can draw again?" Qin Jun scratched his head and asked in a daze.

"Yes!" The Mythical System replied succinctly.

Upon receiving the system's response, Qin Jun's drowsiness instantly disappeared. He rubbed his hands and said, "I hope to draw something good. Let's start the draw!"

"Ding! Random draw begins..."

Qiankun Bag!

Xuanyuan Sword!

Bamboo Leaf Fan!

Qin Jun habitually started to recite the names of those awesome artifacts from his memory. Just then, Daji suddenly pushed the door open.

"Young master, it's time to get up. Second Young Master is leaving for the Yuguan City tomorrow," Daji said as she entered. Because Qin Jun was very interested in pursuing her, he allowed her to come in at any time without knocking, and Daji, who now had a slight affection for him, also disregarded the distinction between men and women.

Of course, the most important reason was that Daji was not human, but a demon.

"Ding! Drawn Daji's bellyband, from 'Investiture of the Gods'!"

What the heck?

Daji's...

Qin Jun's expression instantly froze, and most importantly, he felt that there was something pink in his hand, still retaining some warmth.

Oh my goodness!

Qin Jun almost cursed. He instinctively looked up and saw Daji looking at him with a frosty expression, her eyes seemingly ready to shoot fire.

"I...," Qin Jun wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start. This joke had gone too far!

To think that he drew such a thing in the random draw?

"Young master."

Daji coldly approached Qin Jun, who was scared and huddled under the covers against the wall, his face full of fear. "Daji, it's not what you think," he stammered.

"Then why are you still holding onto it?"

"Ah... I can't just throw it away, can I?"

"..."

Qin Jun held the pink bellyband tightly in his hand, his face filled with fear, but Daji was not a weak woman; she was a super powerhouse in the Illusionary Realm and could easily play him to death!

The next moment, the wailing screams of Qin Jun echoed through the Yue Palace, clearly audible to all the servants.

In a villa several hundred meters away, Guan Yu, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but smile. "Young master and Daji are really a pair of happy enemies."

After a stick of incense, Qin Jun, with a swollen face and bruised nose, arrived at Guan Yu's villa, followed by Daji and the Hound of the Xiong Family, as well as two servants carrying dishes.

"Second Young Master, I'm here to practice with you!" Qin Jun laughed heartily, ignoring Guan Yu's teasing smile.

"Thank you, young master," Guan Yu stood up and bowed, smiling. Qin Jun allowed his close confidants to call him "young master," which made him feel closer than being called "prince."

Daji sat down expressionlessly, but a hint of a smile was hard to conceal in the corner of her eyes.

Although she despised Qin Jun's vulgar behavior, at least it showed that Qin Jun was really infatuated with her. What woman didn't have a bit of vanity, especially when the other person was someone she had feelings for?

After that, Qin Jun began to inquire about Guan Yu's experiences in the court that day, as it was Guan Yu's first time attending the court.

Although Qin Jun was the King of Yue, he had not yet obtained the right to attend the court. He couldn't figure out why his adoptive father had such intentions.

To be ennobled but not allowed to attend the court?

He didn't even think about whether it was because Emperor Qian had forgotten about him. Although Emperor Qian's health was deteriorating, his memory had not declined so quickly.

"Second Young Master, we should eat first. You will be leaving for Yuguan City tomorrow, so we should practice again today!" Qin Jun exclaimed excitedly. Guan Yu commanded a hundred thousand troops, and his significance to Qin Jun was immeasurable.

As long as Guan Yu's loyalty was not less than zero, he wouldn't fear betrayal.

So far, Guan Yu's loyalty had reached ninety, showing that Qin Jun's usual flattery had played a significant role.

As the saying goes, a scholar would die for his confidant. The so-called confidant was someone who appreciated oneself. According to Qin Jun's understanding, it was someone with a higher status who often praised oneself. No problem with that!

"Haha, no problem. Today, I will teach the young master a killing technique!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled.

A killing technique?

Qin Jun's eyes lit up. Was he finally going to pass on his ultimate skill?

After so long of getting along, he had asked Daji and the Hound of the Xiong Family for advice on spells, but they were demons, and humans and demons had different paths.

As for Guan Yu, he had only taught him an unnamed spear technique.

It seemed that summoning a divine being to teach him their skills was a task of extremely high difficulty.

...

Yuyu Palace.

"What? Qin Jun actually defeated Zhuo Junjie?" Qin Yu, who was recuperating in the room, was shocked to hear the report from the Blood Blade King.

Zhuo Junjie was a remarkable figure, and he was well aware of it. He was a genius on the Human Ranking, far beyond his reach.

Setting aside their status, Zhuo Junjie was like the bright moon in the sky, while he was just a supporting star. The gap in their talents was insurmountable.

"Yes, it is said that the spear used by King Yuexiang weighed five thousand catties, and there are widespread rumors that he possessed the bravery of the founding emperor."

The Blood Blade King's expression turned serious as he admitted to himself that he would have a hard time defeating Zhuo Junjie. Now it seemed that Qin Yu was even stronger than him, especially with his elusive concealment spell, which made it impossible to guard against. In a life-and-death battle, it would be absolutely fatal!

Qin Yu's chest heaved with anger, but in the end, he sat down, clenching his right hand tightly on the table.

"Tomorrow, Guan Yu is about to leave. Within the remaining half month, we must get rid of Qin Yu!" Qin Yu's eyes flickered. The Southern Zhuo Qianlong Martial Arts Competition was imminent. Although he didn't have confidence in achieving a good ranking, he absolutely could not tolerate anyone in the royal family being stronger than him.

The Blood Blade King hesitated, "King Yuexiang has been practicing spear in the palace recently, making it difficult to make a move. Besides, he himself possesses invincible strength at the Foundation Establishment stage."

Zhuo Junjie represented the strongest at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Defeating him, Qin Yu naturally deserved the title. Of course, the Blood Blade King was deliberately elevating Qin Yu, as he did not want to confront him head-on.

It was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that no matter what comparison was made, Qin Yu was not currently a match for Qin Yu.

"Only at the Foundation Establishment stage, can he really defeat someone at the Golden Core stage?" Qin Yu sneered.
