Chapter 50: Chapter 48: Nine Tribulations Qin Jin took the briefcase. He opened it directly and looked inside; at the center of the briefcase was a Martial Arts Crystal placed on soft fabric. Square-shaped, it seemed rather ordinary. And beside this Martial Arts Crystal, there were several spherical special Crystal Cores with an internal explosive aura surging and faint thunder light flickering. They seemed not to be born of Extraordinary Creatures, as they were extremely smooth and appeared industrially manufactured. "What is this?" Qin Jin glanced upward then looked at Su Chaotang. "This is the Combat Technique I mentioned to you." "Nine Tribulations True Body." Su Chaotang spoke confidently: "Ordinary Combat Techniques are often different ways to utilize Life Energy." "This Combat Technique, however, involves a special Elemental Power, combining Elemental Power with Life Force." "Essentially, it is a burst-type Combat Technique, but if successfully mastered, it also refines the Martial Artist’s physique, making it a Body Forging Technique." At this point, he paused slightly and reached into the briefcase to grab a sphere. "Nine Tribulations True Body, the so-called Nine Tribulations, refers to nine different types of natural Elemental Powers. With the help of Elemental Power, it tempers the physique and creates the True Body." "This technique is extremely difficult to enter, but your Life Energy is in a boiling state, able to drive Elemental Power, giving you the chance to master this Combat Technique." He opened his right hand, and the sphere spun in his palm: "This is a specially refined, high-purity Thunder Element Crystal Core that can assist you in cultivation." He lightly tossed it, and the Crystal Core fell back into the case. He looked at the briefcase: "Nine Tribulations True Body is, in itself, a high-value advanced Combat Technique." "This Martial Arts Crystal was especially engraved by a predecessor who mastered this Combat Technique for you, containing divine charm." "Using it for study will yield twice the result with half the effort." "Qin Jin." Su Chaotang sighed slightly, his tone somewhat emotional: "The boss is very pleased with your breakthrough into the Second Realm." Qin Jin closed the briefcase. Even Su Chaotang has to address the person who engraved the Combat Technique as a predecessor, which speaks for itself. In front. Su Chaotang added: "Involving Elemental Power that the Martial Arts Family has never encountered, you shouldn’t rush." "I haven’t practiced this Combat Technique, so my help to you is limited." "However, in my opinion, as the Chosen One approaches, with your talent, rather than spending time on an uncertain Combat Technique, it is better to improve yourself in other aspects." "Since the boss gave it to you as a gift, whenever you choose to cultivate, he won’t interfere." Qin Jin did not rebut, only nodded: "Teacher Su, I have my judgment." Upon hearing this. Su Chaotang no longer tried to persuade him, walked to the railing, and bent over to look down at the arena. "So, have you made your choice?" "Yu Sheng occupies one of the spots." Qin Jin pointed to a person in the waiting area below. Su Chaotang looked over and saw Yu Sheng leaning against a chair, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, panting heavily. Clearly, he had just finished a battle, not wearing glasses, with a determined look on his scholarly face. "This young man, if I remember correctly, you know him?" "Yes." "Are you not afraid the boss will accuse you of favoritism?" "I looked through all the remaining people’s information and I’ve watched their battle processes." Qin Jin’s voice was steady, inherently certain: "Someone has a slight lead, but this lead holds little significance to me." "I don’t need them to display strong abilities; to me, the word trust is more important." Upon hearing this. Su Chaotang smiled, his eyes flashing with a hint of nostalgia: "Truly confident." "And the third person, have you considered?" Qin Jin waved slightly. A base staff member stepped forward, operating a light screen that floated in front of Qin Jin. He flipped through it several times, and within the light screen, three columns of information rose, lined up together. Two men and one woman. The information included their avatars, origins, and detailed values displayed in order. [Sun Sheng][Newborn Realm][Xinyang District] [Zhao Xiao][Newborn Realm][Cyan Ridge District] [Jiang Panxia][Newborn Realm][Deep Valley District] Glancing over the three avatars, Qin Jin said: "The final choice for the third person must be determined among these three." "Teacher Su, please help me tell Master Chu." "According to my plan, this elimination can end now. After these three rest briefly, they will have a real battle, and the final winner can become the third person." "By then..." "Our team can also familiarize themselves in advance." "I will inform the boss." Su Chaotang nodded. "In that case, see you tomorrow." Qin Jin had just come after routine cultivation to watch the battle. When the briefcase was clenched, having said goodbye, he turned and left. Watching his decisive manner, gazing at Qin Jin’s fading back, Su Chaotang shook his head. "Qin Jin..." "You are more talented than I am, and much luckier." He internally sighed, turned away, and walked through the base to Chu Tianyi’s office. The door opened automatically. Chu Tianyi leaned back on the sofa, with a light screen in front of him showing a battle. It was a mecha war! Two nearly hundred-meter mecha engaged in high-altitude combat, combining extraordinary materials and combat modules to create a distinct battle system. Upon hearing the door open, Chu Tianyi didn’t turn around, merely said: "Did Qin Jin make a choice?" "He’s already decided on one." After Su Chaotang revealed Qin Jin’s thoughts, Chu Tianyi nodded slightly: "So be it, follow his arrangement." Upon hearing this. Su Chaotang paused briefly, unable to resist speaking: "Boss, you really trust him with power." "No doubt in choosing people." Chu Tianyi’s voice was calm: "When I first saw Qin Jin, he surprised me, so I give him a chance." He seemed interested, closed the light screen and looked at Su Chaotang: "Su Chaotang, do you know that after Mining Star was unlocked, besides Qin Jin, my men also discovered other top-notch young talents?" Su Chaotang’s gaze sharpened. "Boss, you mean..." "The Star God is born, and this planet is in its most unique stage." "An adverse environment is also a hidden opportunity." "This generation on the Mining Star might produce many notable figures." "The Star God’s Chosen One, after all, is not conventional competition. Three equally outstanding individuals acting together may instead create upheaval." "Therefore..." "After confirming Qin Jin’s status as captain, I abandoned competing with other forces for equally outstanding youth." Su Chaotang was silent. He naturally understood Chu Tianyi’s meaning. For each faction acquiring a ticket, the team they ultimately dispatch represents their soldiers and generals. Due to the Star God’s uniqueness, soldiers and generals can only be selected on Mining Star, hence... the top talents exhibited on Mining Star were the targets of all factions’ competition. This was merely the first act of the Star God’s Chosen One competition. He paused and ultimately spoke: "Boss, aren’t you afraid of failure?" "Failure?" Chu Tianyi looked at him: "Participating in this selection, including the very top factions, who can certainly claim success?"
