Chapter 158: Strange Genius

Rumble—

The invisible shockwave lifted the soil and fallen leaves, turning them into tangible objects. Qin Jun and the others quickly turned around. At that moment, Li Yuanba leaped into the air and smashed a hammer behind them. With a loud bang, the extraordinary power of the Golden Peng Divine Hammer directly interrupted the shockwave, causing the flying trees and soil to be thrown back.

The terrifying power was unbelievable!

Qin Jun and the others stopped in their tracks, looking back at the devastated forest with lingering fear.

"Why did it suddenly explode?" Qin Yun asked in shock. The sudden explosion in front of them left him feeling extremely anxious.

Zhu Yanqing also furrowed her brows slightly, while the Hellhound looked at Qin Jun thoughtfully, making him feel embarrassed. In his mind, he cursed, "Why couldn't you control your emotions?"

The cultivators who hadn't fled far were also dumbfounded, especially those flying above the forest. They stared at the mushroom cloud rising from the forest, their mouths agape.

Poor Zhang Lun, he was blown to pieces before he even showed his face.

"Cough, let's continue forward," Qin Jun awkwardly cleared his throat. Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing then remembered that this guy had thrown something just now.

"Your Highness, what was the iron pellet you threw just now? It's so powerful," Li Yuanba asked excitedly. Unlike Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing, his eyesight was so strong that he naturally caught Qin Jun's actions just now.

"It's something called the Sky Thunder Bomb. It has strong killing power. It can blow to pieces any Transcendent Realm expert within a hundred meters," Qin Jun cursed Li Yuanba for being brainless, but still explained. Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing gasped in shock upon hearing this.

Qin Yun was even more excited, "This is a killing weapon! Brother, can you give me one?"

"Get lost! Do you think it's a spirit stone? This can kill Transcendent Realm experts within a hundred meters. I don't have many of them," Qin Jun rolled his eyes and cursed, making Qin Yun scratch his head awkwardly.

Upon careful thought, it was true. With such a terrifying thing, how could Qin Jun have many of them?

But he was still puzzled. Where did Qin Jun get such powerful things? His Golden Emperor Armor and Silver Dragon Soul-Slaying Spear were already enviable enough, and now he had the Sky Thunder Bomb. Who could stop him in the Dragon Subduing Martial Arts Competition?

"Is it really just the Qianyue Kingdom behind you?" Zhu Yanqing's cold face revealed a hint of doubt. To this, Qin Jun just laughed.

It's not that I'm being mysterious, it's that you all insist on thinking of me as mysterious!

He wouldn't dispel this misunderstanding. Being subtly pretentious was the most deadly.

The group continued forward, and the forest that had been hit by the Sky Thunder Bomb was filled with smoke. Looking ahead, the trees within a few hundred meters were leaning in all directions, and there were even flames burning and breaking the wood. Although the Sky Thunder Bomb's strongest damage range was within a hundred meters, it didn't mean its destruction was limited to that range.

After advancing about two hundred meters, Qin Jun and the others saw many dismembered bodies, which were extremely nauseating. Most of them were the bodies of cultivators killed by Zhang Lun, blown to pieces by the Sky Thunder Bomb.

As for Zhang Lun, who knew which body was his.

"Alas, I still wanted to see what the descendants of the Barbarian Apes looked like," Qin Jun sighed, his face filled with regret, making Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Upon reflection, it was indeed regrettable. The talented descendant of the Barbarian Apes was unexpectedly blown to pieces carelessly, which could only be attributed to his bad luck, encountering Qin Jun, the star of ill fortune.

"Why did it suddenly explode?"

"Did Zhang Lun die like this?"

"Indeed... his aura has disappeared..."

"My goodness, what on earth happened?"

"It's so inexplicable..."

The cultivators in the air were discussing fervently, and at the same time, a shadow was cast over their hearts. They didn't want to be mysteriously blown up.

"Wait, why haven't I gained any experience points yet?" Qin Jun suddenly thought of something and asked urgently in his mind. Earlier, on the lake, he had used the World-Extinguishing Gatling to kill many cultivators, and now he had killed Zhang Lun. Why hadn't the system prompted him to gain experience points?

"This is a competitive scene, equivalent to a dungeon-like existence, so it won't constantly prompt experience points. Instead, they will be distributed uniformly after the competition ends," the system replied.

This reason left Qin Jun puzzled. He continued to ask, "Will the experience points decrease or increase?"

"Naturally, they will increase, because the Dragon Subduing Martial Arts Competition is a highly renowned event. If it were a competition within a sect, it wouldn't trigger such an experience point reward system."

The system's response made Qin Jun excited.

This is forcing me to go on a killing spree!

In the City Trials, every participant harbored hostility towards each other, so there was no need to provoke anyone.

As for feelings of guilt?

The rules of the Dragon Subduing Martial Arts Competition didn't restrict killing, and participants could even crush the wooden plaques to leave. If they overestimated their abilities, it was seeking death!

At least one-third of the cultivators died in each session of the Dragon Subduing Martial Arts Competition, which was an extremely large number.

"I'll count to ten. If anyone doesn't flee, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qin Jun looked up at the cultivators in the sky and shouted loudly, making Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing feel exasperated.

Brother, can you not be so arrogant?

By provoking them like this, who would flee?

Li Yuanba, on the other hand, became excited, wielding the Golden Peng Divine Hammer in both hands, ready for battle at any moment.

The cultivators' faces all darkened instantly, filled with anger. It was too humiliating!

"Everyone, run! This guy has a top-grade spiritual weapon that can kill enemies on a large scale!" a cultivator's face changed dramatically, shouting in fear before flying away.

The rest of the cultivators felt uneasy as soon as they heard this. Seeing the smug look on Qin Jun's face, they knew that this guy must be fearless. So, gritting their teeth, they left one after another.

In less than five seconds, all the cultivators had fled.

"Alas, being invincible is so lonely..." Qin Jun sighed, a statement that made Zhu Yanqing feel the urge to punch him.

"The sky is getting dark, let's find a place to rest," the Howling Sky Hound transmitted to Qin Jun.

At this moment, Qin Jun noticed the beautiful sunset on the horizon. He hadn't expected that there would be day and night in the world of magical treasures.

Qin Jun nodded and continued to lead the way.

On the other side, Fei Yushu outside the world of magical treasures couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking, "It seems that this kid is going to make a mess of the City Trial."

With that thought, he turned to the nearby Xu Guiku and asked, "Why hasn't the talented genius Zhan Lun, who possesses the bloodline of the Barbaric Ape, been reported?"

Geniuses with extraordinary bloodlines like his are usually reported to the Sword God Hall, and then the news is passed on to other sects and the royal family. Even if they fail in the Dragon Hiding Martial Arts, they will still be recruited because the advantage of an extraordinary bloodline is too great! If the bloodline power is awakened, ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to resist!

"Zhan Lun's identity is extraordinary; he is a disciple of an elder of the Demon Sealing Sect," Xu Guiku said helplessly. He also wanted to recruit such a genius, but unfortunately, he was already taken.
