Chapter 1520: Chapter 1520: Threat And Enticement

When Quentin Qin suddenly announced a new rule, the other warriors on the platform shared knowing smiles.

Anyone who was qualified to enter this platform for Pristine Life Vitality refinement most probably had an extraordinary background.

The warriors were angry that Zen had nabbed away the Pristine Life Vitality produced by this round of Tidal Surge. But if this man was wise enough and left the Pristine Life Vitality behind, then he wouldn't cause too much trouble. They hadn't actually lost anything.

They were still in the territory of the Skyland race after all. It was true that many forces from the divine land tried their best to make friends with the Skyland race. Even though they had gained in convenience from the Skyland race, it was impossible for them to be too arrogant and despotic here.

Quentin Qin suddenly invented such a rule. Smart as they, these warriors immediately understood what his real purpose was.

It was not his goal to chop off the feet of these fellows.

They were just a few secondary creatures. Who knew where these creatures originated? What was the point in chopping off their feet? He thought it troublesome to do so even once.

As for what these secondary creatures had in their hands, they didn't even care about at all.

The only thing that caught their eyes was the method that Zen had displayed just now!

When one stood on the platform, a divine texture would appear at one's feet upon appearance of the Tidal Surge.

No one knew who set up these platforms in the first place. However, this was the only known way to extract Pristine Life Vitality from these divine textures.

The size of the platform and one's strength would determine how many black crystals would be refined.

The warriors on this platform were mostly from the divine land. Occasionally, some young men from the Skyland race came to join them, but the difference between them wasn't that great in refining the black crystals. Someone might refine thirty to forty black crystals once, while some ten to twenty black crystals.

However, the fellow that Laquisha brought was a little out of the ordinary!

With his refinement, he had produced three to four thousand crystals. In other words, he had taken away all of the Pristine Life Vitality on the platform.

The warriors of divine land were also astonished.

They had always looked down on secondary creatures. How could they be willing to show that they were impressed by this puny being? However, they could not deny to themselves that they were shocked at this. But at the same time, they began to think over the problem.

Since Quentin Qin made up a rule to break the feet of these people, his goal was most probably Zen!

They did not guess wrong.

Quentin Qin was really interested in Zen's ability. If he could control that ability himself, he could monopolize a platform and increase the speed at which he absorbed Pristine Life Vitality by a hundred times. Why not? ℞𝓪ΝÖ𝔟Ëŝ

He wouldn't need to stay on the largest platform; even if he could occupy a smaller platform, it would be enough. In any case, no one else had the ability to compete with him.

Kurt's, Lucille's, and Lone's expressions darkened, when they heard this.

After they entered the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land, they understood their status of being a secondary creature. If they wanted to cultivate and raise their strength, they had no choice but to endure everything. They had to put in a lot of effort to enter the Skyland race.

Among them, Lucille had spent three months and Kurt had spent two months. Lone took the longest time and had spent a total of four months before he obtained a precious purple trial tally.

Even after entering, they were still bullied.

They didn't even want to consider the biggest platform. In the beginning, even the small platform at the edge of this place had warriors that drove them away.

However, these few people had extraordinary talent. Someone who had cultivated to the state of being a Godly Genius was not someone that could be easily ignored, even in the divine land. The weakness of the three of them was their low cultivation. Most of the people here were Spirit Transformation Realm warriors, but the three of them were stuck at the middle or late stage of the Spirit Supreme Realm.

As they worked hard, their strength increased gradually. They began to change platforms frequently as they gained more and more Pristine Life Vitality.

However, the three of them still didn't dare to step onto the platform in the middle.

When Zen appeared, the three of them all stepped forward one after the other in an attempt to lead him away. They hadn't thought that Quentin Qin could say such words. He was simply too much of a bully!

Lone barely managed to summon a smile as he said, “Master Qin must be joking. We won't take away all of this Pristine Life Vitality, so why is it such a serious matter?”

However, Quentin Qin's expression was nothing but serious. A bit of malice made the corner of his mouth lift. “I, Quentin Qin, have never joked about such an important matter. How can you, a secondary creature, have the ability to ascend this platform?”

As he finished his words, he waved his hand gently. A bit of life vitality condensed slowly and formed a sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing. “Are you going to chop off your feet by yourself, or should my blade make you confess?”

The sword light was discreet and contained a hidden sharpness. However, Quentin Qin did not have the slightest intent to kill. In his eyes, these secondary creatures were insignificant beings that would surrender if intimidated!

However, he still had to assume a fighting posture as if he meant it. Otherwise, how could he use this as a threat to interrogate Zen?

If these people really didn't know what was good for them, then Quentin Qin had another plan in mind. If he ended up killing these people, the Skyland race shouldn't cause any trouble for him. After all, the Skyland race still needed the Qin Clan...

The Skyland race differed fundamentally from the Collapsing Mountain race in terms of cultivation methods, because Skyland race cultivated through the Pristine Life Vitality and Collapsing Mountain race cultivated by the strength force.

Since the Collapsing Mountain race only refined their bodies, just infusing the strength source was fine. Besides, they had sufficient food supplies and they didn't need the help from other races. Therefore, this race treated all other races equally and rarely favored one, except Zen.

The Skyland race, on the other hand, had a great demand for cultivation methods and even weapons from the divine land. Other races from the divine land naturally catered to the Skyland race's likes, and there was no exception for Qin Clan. Thus, the Skyland race took special care of warriors like Quentin Qin.

Quentin Qin thought that he could overwhelm Zen with his strength, and with the help of the Skyland race, where could these people run? If they dared escape from Skyland race, that would be even better. The Qin Clan had been placed in position of power in the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land, so they could do whatever they wanted!

As she saw that Quentin Qin was about to make his move, Lucille's pupils suddenly constricted. The killing intent that was hidden in the depths of her heart ignited.

Kurt stood with one palm erect, and the strength of his other hand that was holding the monk staff increased slightly!

Compared to the other two, Lone understood the warriors from the divine land a bit more. After all, the broken sword in his hand originated from the divine land. He knew that it would be a futile attempt if they were to make a move against Quentin Qin at this moment. But if Quentin Qin would make any move against them, they would resist.

“Master Qin, don't be so ruthless,” said Lone. He was already quite hopeless about their situation.

Quentin Qin took two steps forward. When he sensed that it was the right time, he sneered and stared at Zen as he said, “Of course, you can keep the Pristine Life Vitality, but I have one condition. Just now, your friend had some methods up his sleeve. With this method, he can refine quite much Pristine Life Vitality. I will let all of you leave safe and sound, if you tell me the methods. As for that pile of Pristine Life Vitality, I will let you keep it as a gift!”

This was threat and enticement.

While he threatened to make a move, he also had the ability to bestow Pristine Life Vitality to his opponent. His timing and tricks were quite accurate.

When he finished speaking, all of the other warriors from the divine land on the platform revealed expressions of 'I knew this was going to happen', and quietly waited for this situation to unfold.

Lucille and the other two looked at Zen simultaneously. Quentin Qin had finally revealed his true intention after going around the bushes!

Laquisha sat down on the ground. When she waved her fingers gently, crystals of Pristine Life Vitality continuously flew into her hands. Then she caught them and daintily put them into her mouth, as if she were eating some snacks. She ate them one by one, looking at the scene with a smile on her face.

She had already known about Quentin's temperament, but she did not expect that things would turn out better than she expected. If Zen would show his true abilities, this fellow would surely suffer greatly. At this moment, her mood was naturally very comfortable!

Zen just stood on the spot and didn't utter a single word. He glared coldly at Quentin Qin.

He had seen through Laquisha's intentions long ago. She wanted to use him to teach Quentin a lesson, but Zen did not want to play along with her plans. He intended to settle this matter right from the start...

It was a pity that Zen had underestimated Quentin's tyranny. Seeing Zen's methods of Pristine Life Vitality refinement, Quentin was determined to get them. His aggressiveness had even involved Lucille and the other two. Now, Zen had no intention of backing down.

At that moment, Zen still paid no mind to Quentin Qin. Instead, he addressed Laquisha and asked, “Is this what you want?”

Laquisha only smiled in reply, and took another black crystal into her mouth.

In one quick motion, Zen stretched out his forefinger and flicked it with his thumb. “I don't like people using me. I hope this is the last time.”

After calmly saying this, an extremely powerful, concentrated stream of energy condensed on the tip of his finger!

Zen gathered all the strength in his body, including that of Eight Path Platforms, and focused it entirely in his forefinger. This finger was only three inches away from Laquisha's forehead, and she instantly felt an enormous pressure!

If Zen had flicked out his finger, her entire head would have been pulverized and there was no doubt that she would have died in an instant!

Feeling this pressure, Laquisha's face was drained of color. She saw that Zen's expression was deathly serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking.

Pah!

Zen flicked his finger, and it landed on Laquisha's forehead.

At that moment, Laquisha had been scared half to death.

However, Zen's ability to control his strength had already reached its peak. Other than the nine stars power that he could not fully control yet, it could be said that he had proficient control of his strength.

The moment he flicked his finger, all of the power dissipated. It only left a faint red mark on her forehead!

Zen turned around and took a deep breath. He smiled to Quentin Qin and said, “On this platform, I have to break both my legs before I can leave. This rule is indeed interesting, but what if I don't want to leave?”
