My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 319: Chapter 162: Break the Gate

Qin Fang thought to himself.

He walked out.

The place he lived in now was A Courtyard, Number 19... the one that once belonged to Shen Han.

After the successful ”Seeking Alms” incident, Qin Fang had reached an ”understanding” with those Noble Family’s Heirs. Two months had passed, and things had become peaceful.

...Just as Qin Fang had expected, his previous bout of madness had shown these people that he wasn’t a pushover. Once he latched onto you, he was incredibly troublesome... So, for the past two months, almost no one had dared to provoke him.

The other courtyards were also gradually reclaimed by their original owners.

Only Shen Han was left feeling glum...

Well, what could be done? The food in A Courtyard was just too good. Qin Fang couldn’t bear to leave.

...And so, in the end, Shen Han was the only one left truly wounded.

Although Shen Han was furious, he clearly had no way to deal with the situation and was now gradually getting used to it...

...The amenities in B Courtyard weren’t that much worse; it was just a bit of a blow to his pride.

But in comparison, during the last ”Seeking Alms” incident, the other five families had paid up. Only Shen Han hadn’t...

So, for him to give up a courtyard to reach an ”understanding”...

...that was understandable, right?

”Young Master Qin.”

”Young Master Qin.”

As he walked along under the shade of the trees, he encountered some people from D Building who were out for a stroll. Upon seeing Qin Fang, they all greeted him politely and respectfully.

Qin Fang didn’t put on any airs, simply smiling and nodding in response.

This made many of their eyes light up, their expressions showing they felt quite honored.

However, it seemed someone didn’t recognize Qin Fang. After he had walked some distance away, the person asked in a low voice, ”Uh... brothers, if I may be so bold as to ask, who... who was that?”

He was a recent arrival to the Post House.

”You’re new here, so you wouldn’t know. That’s Young Master Qin Fang, the most famous person in the Post House. If there are no surprises, one of the twelve seats from this Martial Arts Examination is guaranteed to be his!”

The informed person said with a smile.

This greatly surprised the newcomers, who quickly asked for the details.

”This Young Master Qin, his story is quite legendary...”

They recounted the events from two months ago, one by one, leaving the newcomers utterly dumbfounded...

Qin Fang, a scion of a Divine Family from an Outer Mansion...

Challenges, crushing victories...

Overwhelming strength...

Listening to the tale, they were all stunned.

”...Most importantly, while this Young Master Qin scorns the heirs of the Divine Families, he doesn’t show the slightest hint of arrogance toward us common folk. In fact, he’s very approachable. He never uses his status or strength to bully or ignore us... After interacting with him for a while, everyone has come to respect him.”

”Now that’s what someone worthy of one of the twelve seats should be like!”

”He throws punches at the strong and shows compassion for the weak...”

The man spared no praise.

...A total Qin Fang fanboy!

Hearing this, the newcomers were all very surprised and subconsciously glanced at Qin Fang’s departing figure...

As the Martial Arts Examination drew closer, more and more people had been arriving at the Post House recently.

D Building was starting to get crowded.

Even C Courtyard and B Courtyard had seen a successive arrival of many Huajin Level experts.

After all, the Martial Arts Examination was set to begin in just one month.

Qin Fang breathed in the fresh air, wandering about aimlessly... The scenery in the Post House was actually quite nice, and he had grown accustomed to taking a stroll after finishing his daily cultivation.

How could the idle chatter of the people behind him possibly escape his senses?

He just smiled faintly, not paying it any mind...

...Alright, he had to admit, he was actually feeling a little smug about it.

”Mealtime!~”

A short while later, when it was time for meals, Qin Fang sauntered back to A Courtyard, Number 19. He happened to run into the servants delivering food, who all greeted him respectfully.

...Because his fame was now much greater than before and his strength was widely acknowledged, these servants had become increasingly deferential to him.

He opened the door with a smile. The servants brought in the food, hot water, and other items, and Qin Fang began to enjoy his meal at a leisurely pace...

’With no troubles, life is actually quite comfortable.’

However, Qin Fang also knew this was only because he was still in the Post House, with the Martial Arts Examination just around the corner.

Once the Martial Arts Examination was over and he left this ”safe zone” of the Post House... things might not be so certain.

’But who cares?’

’I’ll deal with future troubles when they arrive.’

Qin Fang thought.

「The next day.」

Qin Fang sat cross-legged on his bed.

’Today, I can enter the realm of True Essence!’

He looked at his proficiency panel. He only needed another five hundred proficiency points to reach 10,000, at which point his Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl would also reach Perfection.

At that time, he would be able to push open the Divine Gate, and the Qi Force within his body would transform into the ”True Essence” of the Divine Domain!

And for five hundred proficiency points... one mace of Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment was definitely enough to gain them instantly.

He took a deep breath, swallowed the Soul Condensing Crystal Ointment in one gulp, and closed his eyes.

A short while later, Spiritual Power began to surge within his mind...

Qin Fang controlled his Spiritual Power, forming it into a great hammer to strike the Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl.

BANG! BANG! BANG!~

An intangible sound seemed to reverberate through his very soul.

But his will was like iron, completely unaffected.

On the panel, his proficiency was increasing frantically...

9881, 9882, 9883...

His proficiency climbed.

Finally...

’Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl (Contemplation) (Spirit) (Perfection): 1/∞

The moment the Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl reached Perfection, Qin Fang’s mind suddenly boomed.

At the same time, the ”Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl” suspended in his mind’s eye flashed with a mysterious, dark light!

The dense, intricate patterns on its surface suddenly began to emit a brilliant light.

A sudden enlightenment surfaced in his mind.

His Divine Sense expanded at that moment, finally reaching a radius of ten meters!

A vast amount of information began to surface.

It was...

...information on how to break through the gate!

Qin Fang’s pupils suddenly brightened.

His emotions surged wildly!

And yet... his will, condensed into the Profound Nether Realm-Breaking Awl, was as stable as a mountain. Even as his emotions fluctuated wildly, the awl remained perfectly still!
