System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.71 - First Day of the 1st Competition
Qin Laohu's
In front of a large building ruins, ten young women gathered together. The expressions on their faces looked serious. They were none other than Qing Shandian and his group.
Right now, Qing Shandian was seriously observing the array array array that was still actively protecting the ruins of the building in front of him. Sometimes he touched the array array, sometimes even wiping it. His expression was also fickle. Fifteen minutes after careful observation, Qing Shandian's eyes sparkled. He turned around, looked at Shi Zhifang and the other eight, then said, "You guys back off a little further. I'm gonna break this array. Make sure no one bothers me."
"Shandian, are you sure you can break this array? Why don't we attack him directly?" Said Shi Zhifang while frowning his forehead in a puzzled tone.
Qing Shandian shook his head. He said, "A direct hit will easily destroy this array. But we're gonna need more time. Because of this array, not a Sky-class array. Besides, I don't want to cause unnecessary commotion."
Hearing that remark, Xie Huang Yang nodded and said, "Shandian, if it is like that, then forget it. Wouldn't it be better if we hunted the Spiritual Beast? That way, we'll be able to accumulate more points."
"Emmm.. I agree with that too." Sun Mingzhou said as he nodded lightly, followed by the others.
Qing Shandian shook his head when he heard their words. He looked at them calmly, then said, "It's true, if we hunt faster, then we'll get more points. But I'm not gonna rush. I am interested in something mysterious. Moreover, this building had collapsed, yet the array was still active. I'm very curious about that. If you want to hunt, please. I won't ban you."
"Shadow Multiplier." Qing Shandian said softly.
"Wushh.wushh..wushh"
Ten figures identical to Qing Shandian appeared and instantly spread out in different directions, once he took out his technique. After which he turned towards the array and said, "You guys can leave if you want to hunt. I can protect myself."
Shi Zhifang, Xie Huang Yang, Sun Mingzhou and the other six fell silent. They stood there without a word. Shi Zhifang. He let out a long sigh and said, "Haahhhh... I didn't mean to doubt you. Ii'm sorry. It's just, collecting points is more important in my opinion."
"Zhifang, Huang Yang, Mingzhou, all of you... What you think is true. So, you guys go. I can hunt on my own when my business here is done." Qing Shandian said as he took out a special pen and ink to create the array, then he busied himself incising various kinds of complicated symbols, overriding the array array array that protected the building, and ignoring everyone.
Shi Zhifang and the other eight did not move the slightest bit from where they stood. They are drowning in a dilemma, whether to leave, or stay put. In the end, they did not leave Qing Shandian and calmly observed what Qing Shandian was doing.
Another half hour passed. Fine sweat granules were seen covering Qing Shandian's forehead. The expenditure of his spiritual power was already quite a lot after incising the various array symbols. A moment later, he stopped incising the symbols, then kept the special pen and ink he had in hand. He stood calmly facing the array, then his hands formed a seal. He slowly said, "Enable."
"Nguungg"
As Qing Shandian's speech fell, a light humming sound rang out, accompanied by various symbols he wrote lit up one after another, then the array in front of him revealed small cracks and continued to spread.
"Krackk.. Kraacck.. Kraacck.. Pyarrrrr.."
[Dinging... Congratulations, An gege successfully upgraded the Master Array profession to the Heaven Class intermediate level]
Shortly after the destruction of the array, the sound of notification rang out in Qing Shandian's mind. However, Qing Shandian ignored that. He immediately sat down cross-legged, took out five 'Spiritual Qi Recovery Pills' and directly swallowed them. He immediately performed the absorption. Slowly, Qing Shandian's face began to show a reddish tint, and his Spiritual Qi also slowly recovered. After finishing recuperating, Qing Shandian slowly opened his eyes. However, he was shocked when what was before him at this moment was not a collapsed building. It was a huge building that still stood sturdy and majestic. He stood up, then turned his back. He also saw the surprised expression of his group. Inhaling deeply, he cleared his throat, then said, "Eheemm... Did you not go hunting? Or do you want to follow me in and look around?"
Deheman loudly Qing Shandian resuscitated Shi Zhifang and the other eight. Shi Zhifang said, "Shandian, is it really the ruins of the building we previously saw? Why does it look so sturdy without the slightest flaw?"
"I won't say much. If you want to come in, follow me. If not, you stay here." Sahut Qing Shandian then turned around and headed towards the large building.
When he got to the front door of the tall building, Qing Shandian opened the door slowly with a hint of force.
"Kreekkk"
As soon as the door opened, what was in the room made Qing Shandian stand looking surprised. Serving behind him, his group was also shocked with their mouths agape wide with wide eyes. How are they not surprised? So many jade bottles neatly arranged in rows of lined shelves. Moreover, there were several mountains of Spiritual Stones glittering. There were also other items such as weapons, protective suits, books, and jade scrolls piling up. Qing Shandian immediately regained his senses. He breathed in the air deeply, calming himself. Without looking back, he said, "Didn't you guys want to hunt? Isn't the point the most important thing? I'm different from you guys. What's in this room, that's the most important thing."
Shi Zhifang, Xie Huang Yang, and seven others regained consciousness. They felt ashamed when they heard Qing Shandian's words. Shi Zhifang guiltily said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong to doubt you. I should have listened and really followed you. You are the leader of this team. I'll follow your decision from now on."
Qing Shandian stepped forward into the room. He walked slowly as he said, "Qing Wenrou has already reminded you of before. So I'm not gonna talk shit. You guys are my best friends. But, you don't know me very well. My path will not be the same as yours. I will walk my own path. I also don't care if others doubt me. Right now, the most important thing is what's in front of me."
Shi Zhifang and the eight others bowed in shame, feeling guilty. They can't comment anything.
Qing Shandian ignored them. According to him, he had to give them a little blow so as not to rush into something. After all, it had not been a single day since the competition started. Qing Shandian continued to walk deeper and deeper, with his atapan wandering in all directions. Suddenly he stopped walking. The gaze was fixed on the five puppets that were shaped like humans. He quickly walked up to the doll.
"Analyzes."
[Dig]
[Heaven Spiritual Puppets: High-Level Heaven Class, Three-Striped. Equivalent to Saint King level kutivator ★9 Peak. Using the Sacred Stone or the God Stone as the driving energy. Requires Lightning Forging and Sky Fire Burning to raise Class]

When the notification screen was plastered in front of him, he was extremely excited. His body shook gently, yet he tried to suppress his excitement. He inhaled a deep breath of air, then said in his mind, "Wenrou, what is a Sacred Stone and a God Stone? Where can I get it?"
[Ding..The God Stone is a Spiritual Stone that has a higher level than the Sacred Stone, with a compressed Spiritual Qi density of over 100 million years. Shaped transparent yellow hexagon crystal. Can be used as a means of cultivation by absorbing it. An gege can trade it for system points. 1 Million PS \= 1 Stone of Gods]
When the notification rang out in his mind, Qing Shandian breathed in a breath of cold air. 'Wouldn't I fall poor if that's a conversion rate?' Thought in the heart. He calms himself. Then he said, "Wenrou, please exchange 1 Trillion PS for the Stone of God."
[Ding.Baltering 1 Trillion PS to a God's Stone].
[Ding.. Successfully traded 1 Trillion PS to 1 Million God Stones. Remaining System Points \= 150,415,377,222,000 PS]
Qing Shandian let out a long sigh, then he gave a soul mark to the five puppets in front of him, then stored it into the 'Inventory' system. He turned around and looked at his group who were running around rowdy. Shaking his head lightly, he again swept his gaze before then he walked towards the jade scroll that was piling up on one of the large shelves. Without checking what the contents were, he flicked his hand, storing the pile of jade scrolls into his storage ring. After which, he walked again towards a small table at the very end of the room.
A moment later, he arrived in front of the small table. His gaze was fixed on a white crystal box. He reached out to take the box, then opened it. Before he acted, a pale yellow light very quickly shot into the space between his eyebrows.
"Aaaahhhhh"
Qing Shandian sat down and shouted loudly while holding his head that felt like it was throbbing violently as a lot of information flowed into his mind.
Qing Shandian's loud shout suddenly caught the attention of Shi Zhifang and the others. Shi Zhifang who saw Qing Shandian clutching his head while shouting quickly shot towards him, so did the others immediately follow. He held onto Qing Shandian's shoulder and anxiously said, "Shandian, you... What the hell's going on? Quickly say... Shandians... Shandian..."
"Aaaahhhh"
Qing Shandian did not respond. He still tightly held his head while shouting, before then he lay unconscious, until it slipped from Shi Zhifang's hand.
"Zhifang, what happened to him? How could he be like this?" Said Xie Huang Yang curiously.
Shi Zhifang shook his head. He said, "I don't know. He didn't respond to my words. We can't do anything about it. We better wait. That's the only thing we can do.'
"Quickly. Move him to that chair. We'll wait until he wakes up." Sun Mingzhou reminded.
...…………………………...
In a strange place, Qing Shandian who was lying unconscious slowly opened his eyes. He slowly sat down while holding his head, then swept his gaze around. Grimacing he said, "Aahh.. Where'sisthis? Why does my head hurt so much? Why am I here?"
"Young man, you're awake apparently." Said a middle-aged man in golden silk robes who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qing Shandian was surprised to see the appearance of the middle-aged man. He ignored her pain and jumped back then put on a watchful attitude. He said, "Who are you? Where's me?"
"Haha... Calm down, young man. You don't have to be careful of me. I'm not gonna hurt you. My name is Qin Laohu. You can call me Laohu or Qin Hu. It's up to you." The middle-aged man who called himself Qin Laohu laughed when he saw Qing Shandian's reaction before speaking. He paused for a moment, then said, "You are currently in your own subconscious. I brought you here on purpose, because there's something I want to say."
Hearing Qin Laohu's words, Qing Shandian relaxed his body and heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Qin Laohu calmly, then said, "Speak. I'll listen to him. After that, immediately return me to my place."
"Haha... You're an interesting boy. Well then, I won't talk about unnecessary nonsense. Do you remember about the white crystal box you held before?" Qin Laohu again laughed as he listened to Qing Shandian's words.
Qing Shandian did not immediately reply. He slowly sat down cross-legged then said, "I remember that. Even before I reacted, the damn box flooded my mind with a lot of information that made me feel pain."
Qin Laohu also sat down cross-legged. He nodded lightly and said, "Emm... I didn't mean to hurt you. Merely, the situation back then did not allow me to last any longer. So, I left behind all the information I had along with the rest of my soul at this moment. I'm sure, the information you've obtained will be very useful for you in the future. I have a request, but I won't force you."
"Senior Qin please speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely fulfill your request. Think of it as a reciprocal of all the information you leave behind." Said Qing Shandian calmly.
Qin Laohu stared fixedly at Qing Shandian. For some reason, he reminded her of someone. But he soon came to his senses and said, "I won't ask you much. If one day you ascend to the Shangdi Continent, go to the Qin Clan Residence. I left a message inside the recorder jade that was inside the crystal box that you held before. Give the jade to my wife. His name is Yin Zhisu. If only I hadn't been seriously injured and forced to fall into this continent, maybe I could still have gathered with my family. I'm so sorry I couldn't see him at my last moment. Huhhhh..." Quietly with a deep tone of regret before letting out a long sigh.
Qing Shandian could tell that Qin Laohu had a very powerful enemy. Otherwise, he would definitely not descend to a low continent like this Tianxia Continent. He said, "I know what really happened to you. So you don't have to say it. I will not promise. But I will remember your request. If the Qin Clan is still there when I ascend to the Shangdi Continent, I will definitely visit your wife."
"Haha... Young man, you underestimated the Qin Clan too much. How could the Qin Clan be so easily destroyed? But before that, you must first go through a very long road to get there." Qin Laohu let out a crisp laugh as he echoed Qing Shandian's words. He paused for a moment, then said, "Young man, what's your name? You really look like someone I know."
Qing Shandian stared fixedly at Qin Laohu. He watched her closely, then furrowed his brows and said, "My name is Qing Shandian. How could I possibly be similar to someone else? Was I born on this continent? We haven't met either, have we?"
Qin Laohu looked at Qing Shandian for a moment, then shook his head. He said, "I don't know. It's just that you really look like him. You also have the same name, 'Shandian'. Never mind.. Forgetit. My time is almost over."
Qin Laohu paused for a moment. He inhaled a light breath, looked at Qing Shandian with a gentle gaze, then said, "The ruins of the place where you are, are actually nothing but unreal camouflage. All the buildings are still standing. I just obscured it with an array. You've got all the information I left behind. So I'm sure, you'll easily break each array. Besides, I also left behind a lot of things before my death. Find and take everything. My last message, fight to be the strongest. Because the world is so cruel beyond what you know. I entrust everything to you, including my only wife, Yin Zhisu. Shandian, I'm glad to see you at the end of my time." She was accompanied by a blooming smile adorning her face, before she slowly disappeared into a grain of light.
"Thank you to everyone, and thank you for believing in me." Sahut Qing Shandian in a soft voice while smiling.
Qing Shandian stared at the rest of Qin Laohu's soul which slowly disappeared with a sad look. In his heart, he felt as if something was missing, yet he did not know what it was.
