My Fiancée Broke Our Engagement for Her Best Friend, but I Awakened the Chaotic Divine Body - Chapter 6:

Chapter 6: The Eighteen Azure Dragons Shatter the Heavens

While helping Yun Nishang wipe away her tears, Qin Xiu suppressed the killing intent in his heart, letting a warmth rise in his eyes.

“Nishang, are you alright?”

“So? Didn’t I tell you I’d give you a surprise?”

Yun Nishang still looked like a frightened deer, her legs slightly weak as she leaned against Qin Xiu’s chest. That fierce kick which sent Gao Yang flying had indeed startled her.

But as she came to her senses, what she felt wasn’t joy… but fear.

Though Gao Yang’s words were harsh, they weren’t entirely without reason. In her eyes, Qin Xiu’s explosive strength was the result of consuming so many spirit treasures over the years. Yet raw strength alone couldn’t substitute for true cultivation. There was no way he could match a spirit body.

Gao Yang had only just awakened and couldn’t yet unleash his spirit body’s full potential. Yun Nishang had heard that the more powerful a spirit body was, the more it needed expert guidance and powerful spirit herbs to grow.

In just a few days, Gao Yang would come back stronger. What would happen then—she didn’t even dare imagine.

And even if not Gao Yang, there was still her sister Yun Xuerong. Her sister had already been granted spirit pills by the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect, awakening the mystical power of her Water Radiance Spirit Body.

“Qin Xiu, you’re amazing… but please, listen to me. Pack your things and leave Lingqu City, alright?”

“I don’t care if you can cultivate or not. I just want… you to live.”

Reluctantly breaking free from Qin Xiu’s embrace, Yun Nishang’s beautiful eyes grew misty with sadness again.

She had even thought of running away with him. If Qin Xiu left alone, she could stay behind to mediate. Perhaps the Gao family wouldn’t bother chasing after him. But if she left with him, Gao Yang would never let it go.

“Why… why does heaven treat us like this?”

“Maybe… this will be the last time we can be together.”

Yun Nishang suddenly lowered her head, and within seconds, her cheeks turned a deep pink like blooming peach blossoms.

Then, to Qin Xiu’s shock, she reached to untie the silk ribbon around her slender waist.

In this life, if she and Qin Xiu were doomed to part, she at least wanted to leave behind an unforgettable memory…

“Nishang, y-you… what are you doing?”

“Put your clothes back on!”

Qin Xiu quickly grabbed the sliding collar and covered her fair shoulder. What the hell was going on? Why was she suddenly undressing in broad daylight?

If it slid down any further… he didn’t even dare think what would show next.

Even if he had seen everything before… this was the middle of the day!

As Qin Xiu helped adjust her clothes, to his frustration, the girl didn’t seem shy at all—in fact, she was annoyed. One delicate hand grabbed his and tried to undo his buttons instead.

“Nishang! I said I’d marry you, but—but not like this!”

Just as he said that, Yun Nishang let go. Her tear-filled, flushed eyes stared straight at him.

She didn’t know whether she felt sadness or relief.

This idiot… even now, he was still thinking about marrying her. But she… no longer dared to dream that far.

“Sorry. I was too harsh just now.”

Qin Xiu apologized as he fought to calm the fire in his heart.

While adjusting her clothes, he’d accidentally touched quite a few places—and this girl didn’t even try to avoid it…

Once he cooled down, Qin Xiu realized something.

“It seems… if I don’t hold her hand and slap back the ones who hit her, she’ll never feel safe here in the Yun family.”

A flash of coldness crossed Qin Xiu’s eyes.

“Though my strength already surpasses Yun Xuerong, her spirit body is the real deal.”

“The Water Radiance Spirit Body—able to condense water into rivers—is especially suited for defense and restricting opponents.”

Not to mention, Yun Xuerong had cultivated for years and had at least one or two martial techniques she could rely on.

Even if he could barely win against her, it might still not be enough to make her kneel and apologize to Nishang.

Aside from having the Chaotic Divine Body, what he needed now was to cultivate a powerful technique to increase his combat strength.

Cultivation techniques weren’t just about absorbing spiritual Qi faster. They also determined how strong one’s spiritual Qi became and how much combat strength it could grant.

But Qin Xiu wasn’t the least bit anxious.

“The Azure Dragon Battle Technique that Father left behind… is a mid-grade Profound-rank technique.”

Mid-grade Profound-rank! Not even Yun Xuerong’s technique could compare to that—nor the technique practiced by the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect who took her as a personal disciple.

“As long as I master this technique, I can settle the score with Yun Xuerong.”

With that in mind, Qin Xiu had no choice but to temporarily part from Yun Nishang.

“Nishang, stay here and behave. I promise, next time your sister comes, she’ll end up just like Gao Yang.”

Yun Nishang still wanted to persuade him, but Qin Xiu didn’t dare look at her blushing face again.

Girl, you were the one who got bold first—how are you the one blushing now?

Back in his room, Qin Xiu immediately pulled out the scroll of the Azure Dragon Battle Technique.

What he saw made his eyes shine with excitement.

“Azure Dragon Battle Technique—observe the form of the azure dragon in battle, and condense world-shaking dragon might.”

This technique described an extremely unique way of refining spiritual Qi—transforming it into fierce and domineering dragon Qi, or dragon force.

Its power could cleave mountains and shatter metal. Not only was it devastating offensively, it could also refine the user’s body with dragon Qi, making it unbelievably strong.

“But unfortunately, the average mortal’s body is too weak to withstand dragon force. Most can only cultivate up to four strands of it.”

This line on the next page caught Qin Xiu by surprise.

He had taken the scroll out before just to look at it and never studied it closely. After all, without the ability to cultivate, reading it back then was just torture.

“Only those with spirit bodies and powerful physiques can refine stronger dragon force and unleash the might of high-grade Profound-rank techniques.”

“The stronger the spirit body, the more dragon Qi and force one can refine. The top-tier spirit bodies can unleash the Nine Dragons Overwhelming Sky and push this technique to peak Profound-grade levels.”

“But sadly, top-tier spirit bodies are rare among the heavenly chosen. The vast dragon might can only be glimpsed, not wielded.”

“This technique is ranked mid-grade Profound-rank only because it’s judged by the standards of ordinary mortal bodies. I disdain to argue over it. I only hope that one day, someone can manifest eighteen azure dragons that tear through the heavens—then my effort will not have been in vain.”

Qin Xiu froze after reading that.

He had already read the entry section of the Azure Dragon Battle Technique before, but he hadn’t expected that, at its peak, it could condense eighteen azure dragons with sky-shattering might!

“But dragon force is too violent—an ordinary body can’t bear it. Even spirit bodies can only manage one or two more strands.”

Qin Xiu estimated that with Yun Xuerong’s Water Radiance Spirit Body, she could probably refine up to seven strands—and that’s with full support from the Heavenly Profound Sect.

The Water Radiance Spirit Body, being one of the five elemental spirit bodies, wasn’t top-tier—but it wasn’t weak either.

“Among the top-tier spirit bodies… I think there’s only ever been one in the entire Great Li Empire.”

He recalled that the founder of Starseizing Pavilion, one of the empire’s three great powers, had such a body.

“And he only managed to cultivate nine strands? That’s only half!”

Qin Xiu suddenly realized the Azure Dragon Battle Technique’s rank had been severely underestimated.

“No… it wasn’t underestimated. Spirit bodies themselves are extremely rare. For most cultivators, cultivating four strands of dragon force already makes this a powerful mid-grade Profound-rank technique.”

But his Chaotic Divine Body could contain ten times more spiritual Qi than others—and his physical strength was five times greater as well.
