Qin Nan’s eyes flickered while watching the scales in the air.

He never thought that the Monarch Fish’s aura would cause him to lose his thoughts. It appeared that the Monarch Fish’s power had entirely exceeded his expectations.

A hint of fear remained on the faces of the crowd.

“Use all that you’ve got to board the Monarch Fish.” The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast spoke once again.

“I have to board it!”

“Mystical Dragon Flame Cloak!”

The crowd of geniuses collected their thoughts and unleashed their Martial Spirits and Martial Trees while taking out powerful artifacts, talismans, etc. as they set their eyes on the green, blue, and purple scales.

“Qin Nan.” Ao Dongfang turned around and clenched his fists, “Why don’t we see who’s able to board the purple zone first?”

Hua Jiwudao, Su Qingqing, and An Lin were startled.

Obviously, there were eager to compete with Qin Nan too.

“Forget it.”

Qin Nan shrugged with a smile.

“Forget it?”

Ao Dongfang’s eyes widened.

Hua Jiwudao and the others were astounded too.

Although Qin Nan seemed to be calm all the time, they never thought that he would reject their challenge straight away. Did he really look down on them to such a degree that he was lazy to compete with them?

However, they were thunderstruck when they saw Qin Nan’s actions.

…Meanwhile, on the back of the Monarch Fish…

The number of people gradually decreased from the Green Tail to the Golden Head, starting from a few hundred of them and ending with only a few standing above the Monarch Fish’s head.

Although the four zones were separated, they could still hear one another.

“Tsk tsk, do you think the core disciples of the Dragon Emperor Clan will try to board the Golden Head?”

“Core disciples? You better give up on the thought. Until now, among over thirty factions, only seven core disciples have partic.i.p.ated. I’m more curious about whether Qin Nan will show himself.”

“Qin Nan? Qin Nan is no longer our concern. His ranking has only risen to the fifty-second rank within the past two months. There’s no way he would be able to board the Golden Head.”

“If he decided to board the Purple Upper, I would surely rob all of his possessions!”

Obviously, Qin Nan was well-known among the cultivators, but since he had cultivated in seclusion for the past two months, his reputation had begun to drop in the crowd’s heart.

Suddenly, a series of thumps could be heard, as if a giant was das.h.i.+ng toward the Monarch Fish in the air.

The noisy crowd became silent instantly, as many were astounded.

The sound was only produced when someone was boarding the Golden Head.

Did that mean that the core disciples of the Dragon Emperor Clan were partic.i.p.ating?

…Meanwhile, at the Dragon Emperor Clan…

Ao Dongfang, Hua Jiwudao, Su Qingqing, An Li, and the rest of the disciples stared with their eyes wide open as a tremendous black glow burst out from Qin Nan’s body. With an imperious aura, he set his feet onto the golden scales and sprang upward at a shocking pace!

“This…”

Everyone was stunned.

None of them had expected Qin Nan to choose to board the Monarch Fish’s Golden Head.

Did he forget that only the experts ranked in the top thirty were able to board the Golden Head?

“This guy.”

The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast’s eyes flickered with astonishment.

She had already predicted this to happen from the start, but she was not overly sure about it. As such, she was relieved after seeing Qin Nan’s decision.

Why would the strength of a genius who had surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation only be ranked fifty-second on the Monarch Ranking after two months?

Impossible!

“No way! He is only ranked fifty-second, and his aura is only at the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm. It’s not possible that he’s able to step on the golden scales!” Ao Dongfang and the others collected their thoughts and began making their way to the Purple Upper.

Although they were shocked by Qin Nan’s actions, none of them believed that he would succeed.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Despite attracting the attention of the crowd, Qin Nan’s face remained calm as he continued to execute his Unstoppable Step.

“As expected of the Golden Head, no wonder only those who are ranked in the top thirty are able to board it. The repulsion force of the scales alone could easily outmatch the strength of an eighth-layer Martial Progenitor.”

Qin Nan mumbled to himself.

Besides, he also discovered that the closer he was to the Monarch Fish, the stronger the repulsion force would be.

Fortunately, he was not an ordinary eighth-layer Martial Progenitor!

“Martial Tree unleashed!”

Qin Nan let out a roar as the Destruction Martial Tree floated behind him, fully unleas.h.i.+ng its will of destruction that caused him to look like a black hole.

No matter how strong the repulsion force was, its presence was non-existent to him.

“A Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree?”

“He has a Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree?’

Ao Dongfang, Su Qingqing, and the others who were making their way up through the scales were dumbfounded.

They clearly knew the significance of having a Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree.

Especially Ao Dongfang who despite successfully altering his destiny in the past two months after obtaining the bloodline equivalent to a fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, he was still unable to refine a Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree.

“So this is his true strength!”

“Does that mean…”

“He’s able to board the Golden Head?”

Ao Dongfang and the others murmured.

Following this, they heard a great clash as a lightning bolt in the shape of a dragon burst out from the scales, striking in Qin Nan’s direction, like a giant picking on a child.

“Slas.h.!.+”

Qin Nan grunted.

Using his right arm like a saber, he unleashed a shocking saber intent, shattering the lightning into pieces. In the meantime, his figure sprang upward with a leap as his hair and clothes flapped wildly.

He had done it!

The fifty-second ranked Qin Nan had boarded the Golden Head!

The crowd was left in awe!

Ao Dongfang and the others were left speechless. They clearly felt how powerful the saber intent was!

The strength displayed from the attack alone was more than enough to fight against the geniuses ranked in the top thirty!

“Such powerful strength, no wonder he’s looking down on us, not willing to accept my challenge.”

Ao Dongfang wore a depressed expression.

Staring at the purple scales around him, the battle intent inside his heart slowly weakened.

“Ao Dongfang, let’s have a great battle if we had the chance in the future. I hope you won’t disappoint me.” At that instant, a voice was transmitted into Ao Dongfang’s mind.

“Sure! I won’t let you down!”

Ao Dongfang’s figure shuddered as his battle intent rose once again.
