"I got it!" Zhang Yan nodded, "So, how many times did we win?"
Qin Shiyan became a little embarrassed and answered after a while, "We two schools used to alternately win, but recent five years, we had been losing."
Shocked, Zhang Yan did not think that the strength between the two schools would be so different. He continued, "It seems that our strength is much weaker than that of Qingming school!"
"It's not the case. They have the support of Qinglong school, while we only rely on ourselves. Our resources and other aspects are not as good as theirs, but disciples' talent is not worse. We only lack some luck."
"Qinglong school? The second top holy place within the Eastern Chaotic Area, only inferior to the King Family! There is relationship between them? " Zhang Yan asked with surprise.
Qin Shizhen nodded, "Of course, it is said that the Masters of Qingming school and Qinglong school have a deep personal relationship, so the Qingming school gets a lot of help and protection from the Qinglong school and they have been oppressing us."
"Oh, I'm here to tell you don't leave school recently. The people of Qingming school will come to our school these days and the contest will begin at any time. If you are not in school then, we will lose again!" Qin Shiyan added with some regrets.
"Again?" Zhang Yan felt strange and asked, "We have lost because of someone's absence?"
Qin Shiyan responded with a nod, "We lost last year because Su He and Su Jiang were not in the school and we had to find another two disciples to replace them. As a result, of course, we lost. Only Brother Tianhai won a round."
Zhang Yan felt confused about Su He and Su Jiang's absence, 'It is too coincident that they both happened to leave. Did they plan it? Or are they the people from the Qingming school? Or did they receive any benefits?'
Although confused, he did not mention it to Qin Shiyan, but promised, "No worries, I will not go anywhere else."
Qin Shiyan nodded and went away. Zhang Yan stood alone in a daze and was thinking about how to win, after all, the five Qingming disciple were definitely at the Martial Arts State. It was a little bit possible for him to win the second-level warriors at that state using the Tricks for Qingyuan Sword and not disclosing the Asura Change. But he could not defeat a stronger warrior, unless his physical cultivation was revealed. However, it was his final resort as well as the Asura Change and he would not adopt them until the death battle.
He wondered for a long time and finally came up the way, that was, the spirit tattooing skills. There was a kind of spiritual pattern that could improve the attack power of the warriors, the Vibration Pattern. it could increase the penetrating power of weapons, through leading the spiritual energy to the vibration pattern on the weapons to form strong waves. But the vibrating pattern could only be created by the spirit tattoo masters and he was not confident to depict it.
He came to the Spirit Tattoo Temple and chose the materias according to the records in his memory. After buying some necessaries, but no special paper for spiritual magic figures, he quickly left.
After returning to his house, he took out his stone sword. It was made by an unknown but extraordinary stone with rare sharpness and could cut down anything like tofu.
Zhang Yan once again followed the previous method of practicing on the ground first. The Vibration Pattern was so complicated that took him more than a day to be familiar with. He became confident until the next evening and prepared to get started.
This time, he did not depict the spirit pattern on the paper, but on the stone sword, which is also the first time of him, so he tried to be pretty careful to avoid any mistake. It took him four hours and when the last inscription was done, he finally dared to gasp in relief.
He suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if the Knowledge Ocean was about to be exhausted, caused by excessive consumption of spiritual energy. He fell directly on the bed and fainted. The Asura Change was slowly operating in his body to repair his spiritual root little by little bit and his cultivation was slowly growing.
