Chapter 8

Qin Wentian did not tell Qin Chuan that he had already condensed a star soul. Two days later, when he avenged this humiliation, he believed his adoptive father would be even happier.

"Brother Qin, I would like to examine my nephew's condition in detail. Can I have your trust?" At this moment, Mo Shang stepped forward, looking at Qin Wentian with an unusual gleam in his eyes.

"Brother Mo, I naturally welcome your help." Qin Chuan had no reason to refuse. The Imperial Star Academy was the dream of everyone in the Chu Kingdom. The high-ranking officials of the Imperial Star Academy could ignore the royal power.

Many years ago, the Chu royal family, fearing the overwhelming power of the Imperial Star Academy, vigorously established the Royal Academy, just as they once supported the Ye family to suppress the Qin family.

"Qin Wentian, follow me." Mo Shang took Qin Wentian away, and Qin Chuan said to Qin Yao beside him, "You go too."

Qin Yao nodded and followed the two from a distance.

Qin Wentian noticed Mo Shang's eyes fixed on him, his gaze as brilliant as stars, making him feel a chill. This was the power of the star soul. Mo Shang might possess the Heavenly Eye Star Soul.

"Someone with a broken meridian can actually cultivate." Mo Shang said softly, startling Qin Wentian. Indeed, it was the Heavenly Eye Star Soul, capable of seeing through the fluctuations of star power.

"I didn't expect to truly see someone who has shattered their meridians and condensed a star meridian today." Mo Shang was secretly delighted. He had just confirmed again that Qin Wentian's meridians were indeed broken, but he was indeed a martial destiny cultivator. This left only one possibility: breaking and then establishing. To achieve the most perfect wheel meridian, the Star Wheel Meridian, even though this was just the雏形of a wheel meridian, it already gave him an edge in mobilizing the primordial energy within his body.

This young man must be brought into the Imperial Star Academy.

"Is there anything you need, Senior?" Qin Wentian asked Mo Shang.

"The strength of the star power in your body should be at the fifth level of the Body Tempering stage, right?"

"Such a powerful Heavenly Eye. Although I am only at the fourth level of the Body Tempering stage, the star primordial energy comes from the fifth heaven, making it more substantial and powerful. Perhaps that's why he misjudged me." Qin Wentian thought to himself but did not respond.

"Two days from now, various forces will gather, and renowned academies will recruit disciples, with multiple tests. Although your talent is outstanding, your strength still needs to be improved in a short time. I have something to give you. Two days from now, you must come." Saying this, Mo Shang grabbed Qin Wentian's hand and directly handed him a book and a stone. Then, he stepped forward and actually rose into the air.

Qin Wentian's gaze sharpened. He saw Mo Shang move as lightly as a swallow, floating in the air, making him yearn. This was the terrifying strength of a Primordial Palace Realm expert. One day, I will also soar in the nine heavens.

Looking at the items in his hand, Qin Wentian's pupils contracted, feeling a chill. The stone faintly emitted a strong star power, making it an extremely precious star meteorite. As for the book, it had three large characters: Dragon Subduing Fist.

"Imperial Star Academy." Qin Wentian silently remembered, put the items away, and then heard footsteps. A figure appeared beside him, and a faint fragrance wafted over.

"I've told you before, Bai Qingsong is a very calculating person. I opposed this marriage, but you were greedy for beauty."

Qin Wentian's lips curved into a smile. Turning his gaze, he saw a very beautiful profile, with crescent-like eyebrows, smiling eyes, and a fair, soft face that looked as if it could be pinched. Qin Yao, like Bai Qiuxue, was one of the four beauties of Tianyong City, extremely beautiful.

"If I were greedy for beauty, I would stick to Sister Qin Yao every day." Qin Wentian joked.

"Stop being a smart mouth." Qin Yao rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian and said, "You made Father and my teacher fall out. It will be hard for you to get along in the academy in the future. How do you plan to make it up?"

Qin Wentian took out the star meteorite from his pocket and handed it to Qin Yao, smiling. "This star meteorite contains strong star power, probably from the second heaven. Take it for cultivation."

Qin Yao looked at Qin Wentian, glaring at him. "Every time Father gave you a star meteorite, you secretly gave it to me. Now that I am already a Wheel Meridian Realm martial cultivator, do you still need to give me more?"

Thinking of this, Qin Yao's gaze softened. Although today's events caused her father and Teacher Tang Lin to fall out because of Qin Wentian, she did not blame him. From a young age, this younger brother had helped her cultivate, and every time Father gave him a star meteorite, Qin Wentian secretly gave it to her and told her not to tell anyone, which led to her current achievements.

"Wheel Meridian Realm." Qin Wentian was delighted and then smiled. "That's good. This time, I won't give it to you."

There were still two days left, and he indeed needed to use the energy of the star meteorite to cultivate and quickly improve his strength.

"That's good, Wentian. I know many excellent young women in the capital. When the time comes, I'll introduce one to you. Since the Bai family is so opportunistic, don't take it to heart." Qin Yao advised.

Qin Wentian, of course, knew this was the real reason Qin Yao followed him, to comfort him and prevent him from being discouraged.

Stopping, Qin Wentian squatted down, making Qin Yao's expression stiffen. She glared at him and said, "What are you doing?"

"Get on." Qin Wentian smiled.

"Go to hell." Qin Yao's face turned slightly red, and she gave Qin Wentian a glare, turning her body slightly.

"Beauty, it's not the first time. When we were young, who used to climb on me all the time? Now that you're grown up, you don't recognize me as your younger brother anymore." Qin Wentian teased, making Qin Yao stomp her foot. This guy, bringing up that embarrassing thing again.

Qin Yao was a bit older than Qin Wentian, nearly seventeen this year, and had grown into a tall, graceful young woman. Although it was a bit embarrassing for Qin Wentian to carry her as he did when they were young, she still moved closer, placing her hands on Qin Wentian's shoulders and looking to the left.

"Let's go." Qin Wentian supported Qin Yao's thighs with both hands, letting her lie on his back. Feeling the softness pressing against his back, he couldn't help but smile. "Sister Qin Yao has really grown up."

Qin Yao gritted her teeth in frustration, grabbing Qin Wentian's ears, and looked around, afraid of being seen. Although they were siblings, they were not blood-related, so Qin Yao couldn't be as natural as when they were young.

"It seems I was worried about you for nothing." Qin Yao muttered. This guy didn't seem to be affected at all.

Laughing and joking, they arrived at a courtyard. This was the residence of the Qin Chuan family, divided into east and west courtyards. Qin Chuan and his wife, as well as Qin Yao, lived in the east courtyard, while Qin Wentian and Uncle Hei lived in the west courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a woman who looked to be under thirty, somewhat resembling Qin Yao. Seeing Qin Wentian carrying Qin Yao in, she smiled warmly.

"Yao'er, you're so big now and still like to stick to Wentian." Qin's mother knew that although Qin Yao was older, Qin Wentian often took care of her, almost like an older brother.

"Mother, it's not like that. This guy is taking advantage of me." Qin Yao got off Qin Wentian's back and complained to her mother.

"Is there anything you haven't been taken advantage of by Wentian?" Qin's mother smiled warmly, making Qin Wentian chuckle, a bit embarrassed.

"Mother!" Qin Yao stomped her foot in frustration, making Qin's mother laugh heartily.

"Mother, I'll go see Uncle Hei first." Feeling Qin Yao's suspicious gaze, Qin Wentian quickly left and went to the west courtyard. There, he saw an old figure sweeping the courtyard. This old figure was one-armed and one-legged, hunched over, looking like he was in his twilight years.

"Uncle Hei, let me do it." Qin Wentian walked forward, but the old man slowly turned around, looking at Qin Wentian, his expression serious. "You have condensed a star soul?"

Qin Wentian was not surprised that Uncle Hei could see it and nodded calmly.

"Which heaven, what kind of star soul?" Uncle Hei asked.

"Fifth heaven, Heavenly Hammer Star Soul."

Uncle Hei's old body trembled slightly but quickly regained composure, turned around, and walked to the back courtyard without a word.

Qin Wentian silently followed Uncle Hei to the training ground in the back courtyard. Uncle Hei sat on a stone stool and looked at Qin Wentian. "For so many years, I made you shatter your meridians, endure inhuman pain, and not absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, nor communicate with martial destiny stars. Do you blame me?"

"Uncle Hei, haven't you already told me that if I absorbed the primordial energy of heaven and earth, I wouldn't have today's sensitivity and affinity for star power? If I hadn't meditated every day for so many years, how could I have communicated with the martial destiny star of the fifth heaven?" Qin Wentian smiled. "Accumulating deeply and then bursting forth, shattering the meridians is a blessing in disguise."

"Most people are greedy, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth and the power of stars to speed up their cultivation. However, they don't realize that this has already covered their innate talent. Years of meditation have led to today's results. From now on, I won't interfere with your cultivation anymore, but you must always remember one thing: never absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Only the purest martial destiny cultivators can continuously open star gates and condense star souls."

Qin Wentian nodded and said, "Wentian remembers."

Uncle Hei had told him that most people were greedy, absorbing both the primordial energy of heaven and earth and star power to speed up their cultivation, but this would cover their innate talent.

This world belonged to martial destiny cultivators.
