The Scarlet-Fanged Purple Dragon Badge
Chapter 45 - The Scarlet-Fanged Purple Dragon Badge
The reasons why Qin Nan wanted to try were; firstly, to get the badge which would allow him to enter the Skill Library freely; and secondly, he knew that the Divine Battle Spirit could boost his Martial Skill talent, and he was confident enough in the capability of his Divine Battle Spirit.
However, Qin Nan had never expected it to turn out like this.
In the end, not only did he not trigger the rare occurrence of the Ocean Crescent Boulder, did he really just end up shattering the boulder into pieces?
After collecting his thoughts, Qin Nan swallowed his saliva and looked cautiously toward where Old Shan stood.
Old Shan appeared to be staring at the pieces of the Ocean Crescent Boulder; his face alternating between turning pale-white and furious-red, as if he were performing a rapid face-changing trick.
This scene caused Qin Nan’s heart to beat faster.
This Old Shan, will he ask me for compensation?
Old Shan’s face kept twitching.
Previously, in order to get a hold of the Ocean Crescent Boulder, he had paid a huge price for it.
Since then, he had treated the Ocean Crescent Boulder as one of his most precious treasures; even when some expert cultivators expressed their interest with insane prices, he had never thought of selling it.
However, today—just a moment ago—his most precious treasure had shattered into pieces, and in such a ridiculous way.
It made him feel like his heart was bleeding.
"Qin Nan…" Old Shan took a deep breath, trying his very best to remain calm, and said, "What happened just then isn’t your fault. I will not ask you for compensation."
Although he had tried his best to make himself sound calm, Qin Nan was able to detect a hint of murderous intent from the words.
After saying these words, Old Shan appeared to have a sudden realization—his expression changed instantly, as he looked at Qin Nan with a gaze burning with intensity.
Before that, Old Shan was heartbroken as his Ocean Crescent Boulder had just shattered before him, which distracted him from the most important question.
This Qin Nan before him only possessed a cultivation of the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm; even if he consumed all his energy, it should still be impossible to shatter the Ocean Crescent Boulder to pieces.
If so, why did the Ocean Crescent Boulder shatter all of a sudden?
The only explanation was that, when Qin Nan unleashed his Martial Spirit, his Martial Skill talent had exceeded the limit the Ocean Crescent Boulder was able to withstand.
This gaze from Old Shan caused Qin Nan’s expression to change, as he said, "Old Shan, I didn’t mean to do this. If you want me to compensate, I’ll pay you after I have enough money in the future."
Upon hearing this, Old Shan recovered from the shock and tried his best to conceal his astonishment. He calmly said, "Qin Nan, you are mistaken. I won’t force you to compensate me for the Ocean Crescent Boulder. Quite the opposite—I’ll give you the Scarlet-Fanged Purple Dragon Badge. With this badge, from today onward, you are allowed to enter every floor of the Skills Library at your own discretion; you can choose whatever Martial Skills you want.
"Huh?" Qin Nan was stunned. What happened to Old Shan? Instead of blaming me, he is giving me such a valuable gift?
After seeing Qin Nan’s reaction, Old Shan could not help but snicker, while saying, "Qin Nan, why do you think the Ocean Crescent Boulder shattered all of a sudden? There’s only one possibility—your Martial Skill talent has exceeded the limit of the Ocean Crescent Boulder."
