I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 147 Spells! Master it to the highest level!

The next morning, just as Qi Xuan, who had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, was heading towards the Zhang family, new news about Karl-Heinz suddenly arrived again—

Tomas, the grandmaster and sole heir of Calzimbe, single-handedly stormed into Shabach. Despite being ambushed, he fought his way through the heart of Shabach's rule and relentlessly pursued the ruler of Shabach, Sankoche.

The news sent shockwaves around the world, sparking widespread discussion among people in various countries:

“African tribes and European lawyers—I never imagined these two things would be connected.”

"It's actually normal. Many African tribes send their heirs and important offspring to Europe for education. Don't think of those tribes as too backward. They also know that they need to connect with advanced civilizations and introduce new knowledge and technologies to their tribes."

"Thomas is just too unlucky. He was the first top genius in Europe to break through to the Grandmaster level. He should have been receiving everyone's envy and blessings and walking on a bright and promising road. But look what happened. His father died, his wife and children died, and his tribe was almost wiped out. Who the hell could withstand this? He has almost all the elements to become a destruction maniac."

“Every wrong has its perpetrator and its debtor its culprit. If you want to kill someone, kill Sankoche; if you want to deal with someone, deal with Shabach. Everyone can understand that. But if other innocent people are involved, don’t blame public opinion for turning against him and nailing him to the execution post as well.”

There are more than just him as a grandmaster in this world, more than just him as a genius, not to mention many terrifying weapons. If he acts recklessly, the grandmasters who were killed before him serve as cautionary tales.

"Thomas has received a systematic education in the West and was a lawyer before becoming a master. He can be considered a social elite and would never be so unwise."

"The problem is that even if Thomas can control his hatred and not let it spill out, and only focus on attacking Shabazzi and killing Sankoche, the attitudes of various countries are not entirely supportive."

"Indeed, I have seen several countries calling for calm dialogue to avoid escalating and intensifying conflicts and to prevent a larger-scale crisis."

"What a load of crap! It's easy for them to talk when they're not the ones suffering. They couldn't stop Sankoche from releasing the cicada nest, so why should they stop Thomas from taking revenge himself?"

"That's true, but the attitudes of various countries aren't necessarily wrong either. The international community tends to be conciliatory, not to mention that there was a major disturbance not long ago where many militants attacked the government. It's necessary to call for peace and restraint, otherwise it's easy to encourage imitators, exacerbate social conflicts, and make violence the mainstream."

"I don't want to see any restraint, I just want to see rivers of blood! Even if it means becoming a part of that river myself."

"Damn! The netizens on Blue Star are still too crazy. Luckily, what Qi Shen taught was not some kind of magnetic field martial art, otherwise Blue Star would probably be gone by the time he came down from the floating continent."

"Just got news that the BBC is broadcasting live footage of Thomas chasing Sankoche. Go watch it now!"

"What the hell?! A live stream of a bloody revenge?!"

……

Just then, Qi Xuan's morning live broadcast ended, and netizens flocked to the BBC's official website to watch the live coverage.

The overwhelming influx of visitors nearly crashed the entire website, and it took several adjustments to barely keep up.

When netizens saw the reports from the scene, they were all shocked.

The live stream was actually real!
The scene shows a highway in a Western country. Sankoche's car is in front, and Thomas's car is behind. Gunshots are heard from time to time during the chase, and there are occasional collisions between the front and rear of the cars.

The BBC helicopter was suspended high in the air, and the cameraman responsible for filming almost leaned out of the cabin, keeping the camera firmly focused on the chasing vehicles below, his hand not trembling at all, the picture was more stable than you could imagine.

The journalists standing nearby were loudly reporting on the battle situation:

"Sancochet's guards fired! The bullet hit the windshield, but unfortunately it didn't hit Thomas."

“We can see that Thomas is covered in blood. In addition to the blood splattered outside, he also has many wounds on his body. He is obviously seriously injured. Even though the Grandmaster’s physique is extremely strong and he has spiritual medicine on hand, he may not be able to hold on for long. The outcome of this battle may be unexpected.”

"Thomas accelerated and crashed! The car in front swerved but didn't fall off the road. The driver was obviously an experienced one, but the condition of their cars made me doubt how long they could hold on."

"Another car caught up and rammed Thomas's vehicle from the side! Judging from the driver's identity, he seemed to be Sankoche's bodyguard. His car was obviously much heavier and almost knocked Thomas's car off the road."

"Another car came rushing over and crashed into the bodyguard's car. The driver seemed to be a student and didn't appear to have any connection with Thomas. He was a kind citizen who offered to help. Since we started the live stream, many similar kind citizens have appeared. It's clear that everyone sympathizes with Thomas's situation and wants to do their best to help."

"Both cars rushed off the highway one after the other. Sancochet's driver was driving towards the city. The area ahead has many complicated alleyways, and the driver probably wanted to use this opportunity to shake off Thomas."

"Sure enough, the driver rushed into the alley, but Thomas was clearly not so easy to shake off. The master's physique gave him extraordinary control and reaction ability. Even an experienced driver would have a hard time shaking off Thomas with his mere innate talent."

"Oh, the driver changed tactics! He stopped! He actually stopped the car! He parked it across the alley entrance, blocking the road, while the bodyguards started shooting at Thomas."

We noticed that Sankoche, escorted by his entourage, secretly got out of the car and met with people who had been waiting for him. They then went into a nearby shop.

Thomas shook off his bodyguards and chased after them inside. Damn it, this was beyond our filming range.

The reporter screamed dramatically and helplessly, then saw the cameraman suddenly let go of the grip, jumping out of the helicopter and landing directly on the shop's rooftop. He then rushed down into the shop following the sounds of gunfire and screams, shouting into the microphone as he ran:

"Photographer Andrew will continue to follow and report on you!"

When netizens saw the photographer sprinting to the scene and frantically filming Thomas and Sankoche's chase, they were all amazed:

"Holy crap! This photographer is actually a Celestial?!"

"This isn't just an ordinary Innate Realm cultivator; it's a peak Innate Realm cultivator very close to a Grandmaster!"

"With your peak innate talent, what else could you do but become a war correspondent?!"

“Andrew! I understand! I understand you! You’ve spent your whole life filming boring news, and now that you’ve finally stumbled upon this historic tracking battle, you’re determined to film it all, even if it costs you your life!”

"At this moment, my blood is boiling, and my professional sense of mission is burning! No matter what, I must make sure everyone sees the outcome of this battle!"

"Do you guys have to be this hyped? As a master of internal energy cultivation, I almost broke my electric scooter while delivering food, but I'm still shining in my own job!"

"Seeing this, I felt even more motivated to pop the popcorn with my venting palm!"

……

Netizens continued to discuss the incident, as Thomas's pursuit of Sankoche was suddenly interrupted by a large number of British police officers who rushed to the scene.

Faced with heavily armed Royal Police officers, Thomas, who was already exhausted from the pursuit, had no choice but to temporarily stop.

Subsequently, British authorities determined that Sankoche and Thomas had disrupted public order in London and threatened the safety of the general public, and issued expulsion orders against both of them.

After Thomas and Sankoche were deported, Thomas, who had just rested, almost immediately resumed his pursuit of Sankoche and his group.

From Britain to Poland, from Poland to Kazakhstan, from airplanes to trains, from trains to cars, the two sides chased each other relentlessly, almost without stopping.

Thanks to the development of the internet and the strong attention from the public, even when Thomas sometimes lost his way, many kind-hearted people would take the initiative to give him directions.

This meant that Sankoche never had a stable foothold and had to move around rapidly from place to place.

Under this tense and thrilling chase, both Sankoche and Thomas were on the verge of exhaustion, and it was only their own willpower that kept them going.

Osh Oblast.

Near the Irkeshtam border crossing.

Under the heavy cover of night, Sankoche, his lips chapped, staggered toward the border, escorted by the last two tribal warriors.

Initially, they mostly entered various countries illegally, but as the persecution incidents were exposed, the world's attention was focused on them, and illegal immigration has become increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, because of the illegal immigration, Thomas would occasionally lose track of them, which gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Even as he struggled to catch his breath, the mere presence of Thomas as a pursuer kept him on edge, fearing that he might suddenly appear and take his life at any moment.

He has narrowly escaped death three times in a row from being pursued by the enemy.

Sankoche didn't know how much longer he could hold on.

At that moment, he felt only deep regret.

I regret not planting more explosives in the room back then.

If there had been ten times more explosives underground, enough to blow up the entire room on the spot, we wouldn't be in this predicament of being relentlessly pursued.

However, this long chase should be coming to an end soon.

He has already hired Ulusu, a master from Southeast Asia, at a high price. Ulusu is leading his disciples on a rapid journey here, and they should be able to reunite in about an hour.

If we can hold out for this hour, once Ulusu arrives, he will surely be able to kill the exhausted Thomas on the spot.

Seeing the weary figure swaying in the distance, Sankoche gritted his teeth and, with the support of two warriors, strode forward, attempting to climb over the three-meter-high border barbed wire fence.

The barbed wire fences commonly used to block illegal immigrants have gradually become insufficient as martial arts have spread. Countries are discussing new anti-smuggling facilities, but replacing the entire length of the border is obviously not something that can be done in a short time.

This is also the most important reason why he was able to successfully smuggle himself across the border every time.

Seeing that Sankoche was about to climb over the barbed wire and enter Daqian territory, Thomas gritted his teeth, mustered his last bit of strength, and accelerated forward in pursuit.

Two loyal tribal warriors, seeing this, immediately went to stop them.

They had run out of bullets, and their innate abilities were no match for Thomas's; they were quickly injured on the spot by his shock.

Thomas also climbed over the barbed wire fence, trying to catch up with Sankoche ahead.

Sankoche was terrified and immediately ran away.

Just then, a bright lamppost suddenly shone on them, so bright that the two of them could barely open their eyes.

Beneath the lamppost, three tall figures strode over, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"Xu Wei!"

Thomas's expression immediately became extremely serious.

No one in the world who has reached the Grandmaster realm is unaware of the reputation of the person before them. Although he has rarely made a public appearance, everyone agrees that he will be one of the geniuses who will advance to the Grandmaster realm the fastest.

Even as the path of martial arts becomes increasingly difficult at higher levels, everyone had already assumed that he would definitely become a Grandmaster. As one of Europe's top geniuses to break through to the Grandmaster level, Thomas was always proud, but even at his peak, he did not believe that he would be Xu Wei's match.

Not to mention that the other party came not alone, but with two other grandmasters by his side.

The ability to dispatch three grandmasters at once—is this the true strength of the Great Qian Dynasty?
While Thomas was deeply shocked, Xu Wei spoke directly:
"This area is within the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty. Fighting and killing are strictly prohibited within the Great Qian Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Sankoche was slightly taken aback, but then overjoyed.

Thomas looked at Sankoche, who was so close to him, with a look of despair on his face.

He could cover that short distance in a single pounce, but Xu Wei would surely arrive before he could make his move.

Having already chased him this far, are we really going to let him escape alive?!

Thomas clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and his whole body trembled.

But at that moment, Xu Wei said:

"Because you entered our country illegally without any permission, you shall be immediately deported in accordance with the Exit and Entry Administration Law."

Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback again.

Sankoche quickly said:
"No! That's not how it works! Shouldn't you arrest me and then deport me?!"

Faced with Sankoche's angry questioning, Xu Wei said nothing. A master next to him immediately stepped forward, grabbed him, and tossed him out of the country like trash.

Without saying a word, Thomas turned and ran.

He rushed over the barbed wire and straddled Sankoche, punching him repeatedly with his fists. Sankoche screamed in pain, but the sound gradually faded until it was barely audible, and then there was no more sound.

Looking at Sankoche's body, Thomas knelt on the ground, his mouth agape, and wept bitterly.

After finally venting his pent-up grief and anger, he staggered to his feet and looked at Xu Wei and the others on the other side of the barbed wire fence:

"No wonder it's his motherland."

"I owe you one."

"I will definitely repay this kindness."

He bowed deeply, forcing himself to perform the gesture.

Xu Wei didn't say much, casually tossed over a bottle of spiritual plant extract that could be used for healing, and then turned and led his team away.

……

"Crackling."

The campfire burned with the scent of pine resin that repels mosquitoes and calms the mind. On Sunday, Qi Xuan lay nearby, resting against its soft yet resilient belly. It was quite comfortable, to be honest.

Two days have passed since he swallowed the Mica Flowing Heart Fruit and stepped into the sixth level of Qi Refining. In these two days, besides continuing his journey to the Zhang family, he has been trying to adapt to the newly acquired sixth level of Qi Refining.

It has to be said that the "Myriad Transformations Ultimate True Skill" is ridiculously powerful, which once made him doubt whether the creator of this skill was an immortal. Otherwise, how could he have come up with so many tricks for him in the first stage of the skill?

Judging from the current progress, it is estimated that in about another week, he will be able to advance to the next realm and obtain the seventh transformation of Qi Refining.

The fact that his promotion time was significantly shortened was largely thanks to the Mica Flowing Heart Fruit. It's just a pity that it wasn't a fully ripe fruit; otherwise, it would have been easy to push him to the seventh level on the spot.

However, Qi Xuan could accept that it would only be delayed by a week.

A week later, he will not only obtain the seventh transformation of Qi Refining, but more importantly, the leap from the sixth to the seventh level is not just a small realm advancement, but also means that he will officially step from the middle stage of Qi Refining into the late stage of Qi Refining, and his strength will be greatly improved.

At that time, even without relying on any trump cards, he would probably be able to kill Zhao Yuehong in a one-on-one fight.

Qi Xuan couldn't help but laugh at the thought of that scene.

"calm down."

"There's still a week left, let's be serious!"

Qi Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and casually opened the lottery page.

The top right corner clearly shows 283B.

"I've already done 90 pulls on the banner, and the new pity system is just around the corner!"

Qi Xuan happily started the lottery draw.

With the pull of the ten levers, ten orbs of light immediately fell down with a whistling sound.

Five mortals and five spirits, four of which are of the first rank and one of the second rank?
This result doesn't look too good.

Qi Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

So I just clicked on the ten-pull again.

Damn it! It's still the Five Elements and Five Spirits!

What the hell?

What an auspicious day today!

Qi Xuan felt utterly helpless, and decided to order everything except for the guaranteed second-grade item.

Leaving aside ordinary items, there weren't any good things among the spiritual items either, except for two water arrow talismans that offered some consolation.

Only a lone, second-grade light cluster remained in the original spot.

"If even this guaranteed pull doesn't yield anything good, then don't blame me for using [Re-pull]."

Qi Xuan took a deep breath and immediately clicked on the guaranteed minimum.

What appeared before my eyes was a thin book.

The cover features three large characters: Vine Technique.

Qi Xuan was stunned for a moment, finding it hard to believe.

Once he realized what was happening, his face immediately lit up with ecstasy.

To date, he has never officially drawn any spells, including "Thunder Roar," which only exists as a trial card.

This was the first spell he drew.

And it's a second-grade spell!
This means that even if he achieves Foundation Establishment in the future, this technique will not be eliminated and will still retain great practical value.

As Qi Xuan opened the book, he became even more convinced of this.

The Art of Vines has three levels.

The first level is for cultivating Qi, allowing spiritual energy to transform into vines to bind and entangle enemies.

The second level requires reaching the Foundation Establishment stage to cultivate. The vines can grow thorns and even incorporate toxins. They can also quickly reconnect if broken, making them even more terrifying in power.

Upon reaching the third level, only those who have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment can unleash this advanced technique called [Heaven and Earth Cage]. It can be used against a single target, but is even better against groups.

It combines attack, defense, and encirclement into one, making it a top-tier and powerful spell even among similar techniques, and its versatility is unparalleled!
"This is good stuff, this is really good stuff."

"How can it be so good?!"

Qi Xuan smiled so hard his gums were almost showing.

He never expected that the bronze pool could draw a spell.

The odds of winning are extremely low; silver level is more like it.

But now it's been exposed.

It is such an extremely practical technique that it can be of great use even at the Qi Refining stage.

Qi Xuan happily began his cultivation.

We won't discuss the latter two levels for now due to limitations in our cultivation level, but we must at least master the first level!
midnight.

Qi Xuan, who was practicing magic, suddenly opened his eyes.

Something's not right.

This eerie chill, this restless spiritual awareness.

What the hell?

He suddenly turned his head.

Deep in the dense forest, a white shadow flashed by!
