Curse!

Qin Heng had seen too much of that!

Once in the Immortal realm, right after Qin Heng broke through and became a Daluo Golden Immortal, he invited Lu Ya—who was already at the peak of Daluo Golden Immortals and close to the realm of Primordial Chaos—to cast Curse Arts like the "Seven Arrows with Nail Head" on him.

This was a Curse Art once capable of killing Daluo Golden Immortals, possessing immense power. Lu Ya repeatedly refused. It was only after Qin Heng defeated him more than ten times, even withstanding the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, that Lu Ya truly believed in Qin Heng's unparalleled strength and agreed to curse him with the "Seven Arrows with Nail Head."

As a result, Qin Heng was unscathed. At most, he just felt a bit dizzy, barely any different from a normal person feeling slightly woozy after a few drinks.

Even a Curse Art as powerful as that, cast by someone like Lu Ya who was nearly at the Primordial Chaos realm, was utterly useless against Qin Heng. How much more so for Jingfeng, who was merely comparable to a Martial Artist at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refinement.

No matter how malicious Jingfeng's curse was, it was meaningless to Qin Heng.

Too weak!

Jingfeng and his curse were truly too weak; even if he used his life as a sacrifice, it was still of no use.

Just a light slap!

With just that, Qin Heng killed Jingfeng on the spot, effortlessly, like squashing an ant.

The onlookers were all silent.

They looked at Qin Heng incredulously, full of doubt and disbelief.

Just moments ago, Jingfeng had used his own life as a sacrifice to cast such a wicked curse on Qin Heng; many people had felt a chill in their hearts. But now, Jingfeng had been killed by Qin Heng with a casual slap!

It was truly unbelievable!

"Who on earth is this? What identity does this youth named Qin Heng have, to be so powerful!"

"Too strong, really too strong! Innate Grandmasters, Grandmasters of Transcendence—they're as weak as ants in front of this Qin Heng! Who is he really!"

Exclamations of awe rose. Qin Heng's strength shocked everyone, leaving those who had thought him doomed to die utterly astonished.

Li Qiuting and Jiang Pingqiao were stunned as well.

They had never imagined Qin Heng's strength could be so terrifying. He casually killed Innate Grandmasters and crushed Grandmasters of Transcendence with ease. Why would such a significant figure appear at Beijing University, and as an ordinary freshman at that!? Shouldn't he be the leader of some martial arts organization?

Li Qiuting was extremely puzzled, her gaze towards Qin Heng filled with curiosity. In her eyes, Qin Heng was shrouded in various mysteries, making him incredibly enigmatic and almost mesmerizing.

Jiang Pingqiao's gaze towards Qin Heng was somewhat complex. He originally thought Qin Heng, like him, was just a student from an ordinary family, but now he realized he had been too naïve.

How should they interact in the future?

This made Jiang Pingqiao hesitate. In his eyes, Qin Heng was, in some ways, no longer human.

Where could you find a person who could leap hundreds of meters at will, make the ground for dozens of meters around them tremble with a stomp, and casually slap someone over two hundred meters away? Possessing such power fundamentally meant they weren't human!

"Let's go."

Just then, Qin Heng came over and said to Jiang Pingqiao, "There should be nothing more to do here. Let's go back. If we're late, the dormitory doors will be locked."

The people around were bewildered upon hearing this. They looked at Qin Heng incredulously, as if they had seen a ghost. What on earth was all this about?! A powerful figure who could kill an Innate Grandmaster with a casual slap is actually worried about returning to the dormitory and the doors being locked?

Jiang Pingqiao was also a bit dazed, but he still subconsciously nodded and said, "Right, right! We need to hurry back, otherwise it would be bad to get locked out."

With that, he followed Qin Heng out of the Jiuchong Pavilion hotel grounds.

Left behind was a crowd of "elites" in stunned silence.

"Qin Heng..."

Li Qiuting looked in the direction where Qin Heng had left, her eyes brimming with light as she murmured softly, "Who are you really?"

「At the same time, in an office on the top floor of Jiuchong Pavilion.」

A man in his thirties, standing before a floor-to-ceiling window, was clenching his teeth. He glared at Qin Heng below with murderous intent and muttered under his breath, "A Martial Artist! Just a Martial Artist, huh! Boy, you just wait! Jiuchong Pavilion is an enterprise of Daqin Group, and Wu Cheng's brother-in-law belongs to the He Family. Even if you are a Martial Artist, you are surely a dead man. Just you wait. Tomorrow, I, Ren Da, will report today's incidents to Daqin Group and the He Family!"

Ren Da was the president of the Jiuchong Pavilion Catering Group, its chief executive officer, directly responsible to the Daqin Group headquarters for the catering affairs in the Jiuchong Pavilion division.

Now that Jiuchong Pavilion had suffered such heavy losses, this division's business would definitely be hit hard, affecting Ren Da's performance and inevitably leading to criticism at the year-end evaluation.

This filled Ren Da with extreme resentment towards Qin Heng.

...

「Early the next morning.」

Ren Da drove hurriedly to the Daqin Group headquarters located in the eastern district of Beijing and headed to the Catering Department building.

The headquarters of Daqin Group was a very large campus, including the group headquarters building and many departments such as finance, strategy, entertainment, biochemistry, fashion, and catering.

The total floor area here reached two million square meters, with each department having its own independent building, making it China's largest and most comprehensive company-owned campus.

With Ren Da's status, he naturally had no right to go to the group's main headquarters building.

He also had no privilege of meeting the group's top leaders—CEO Qin Fa and Chief Supervisor Liu Shuyu.

He could only go to the Catering Department building to seek an audience with the head of catering, Xiang Meiyun.

"Ren Da, what's the rush? Is there something troubling you?" Xiang Meiyun looked at Ren Da with some surprise, her brows knitting ever so slightly.

She was a beautiful woman in her thirties, divorced and living alone. As the head of Daqin Group's catering department, and a beauty at that, she was never short of suitors.

Ren Da was among those who pursued her most vehemently, but his methods were somewhat crude; he had even tried to bribe Xiang Meiyun's secretary, which she found very displeasing.

Although Ren Da was Xiang Meiyun's subordinate, he was, after all, appointed by the group as president of the Jiuchong Pavilion business division. Consequently, she couldn't just dismiss him directly and did her best to avoid meeting him.

Ren Da running over here so early this morning was particularly irksome to Xiang Meiyun.

"Director Xiang, it's like this—I want to ask the group headquarters to stand up for me. A Martial Artist caused havoc in Jiuchong Pavilion!" Ren Da said with an aggrieved face, recounting the events of the previous night before adding, "This kid named Qin Heng, he's audacious beyond belief, showing no respect for Daqin Group at all. I suspect he was sent by a rival company to suppress us, Daqin Group! Director Xiang, we should inform the headquarters about this, see if we can use some contacts to make an example of this kid! Also, this Qin Heng kid has also offended the He Family, he..."

"Shut up!" Xiang Meiyun's face became extremely serious, her gaze fixed on Ren Da as she spoke in a deep voice, "This young man you're talking about, Qin Heng? The new student at Beijing University?"

"Exactly! HEH HEH." Ren Da immediately brightened, looking at Xiang Meiyun with anticipation. "Has Director Xiang already thought of a plan to deal with this kid?"

"Get out!"

Xiang Meiyun angrily threw a book from her desk at Ren Da's face, saying sternly, "Are you trying to get me killed!?"

Qin Heng! That was the son of Daqin Group's CEO Qin Fa, the young master of the corporation! Deal with him? Are you tired of living?
