Chapter 50 - Nemesis

Chapter 50: NemesisLi Yang’s current demeanor left everyone deeply shocked. Just moments ago, he had been so arrogant and domineering, even when facing people from the Jixia Academy, maintaining that superior attitude. Yet now, in front of this young man, he was so humble! 

The drastic change in his attitude was truly jarring.

“Young Master Qin?” 

Could it be… that one?

The young man, of course, was Qin Xian. As Qin Xian looked at the bowing Li Yang before him, a gentle smile appeared on his face. “So, it’s Senior Li.” S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Qin Xian was currently a sophomore at the Imperial Academy, while Li Yang, being a year older, was a junior. He was technically Qin Xian’s senior.

Hearing Qin Xian address him, Li Yang’s face immediately filled with astonishment, and he quickly responded, “I don’t deserve such praise! Young Master Qin is the number one genius of the human world, how could I claim the title of senior?”

His face showed a sense of joy. Qin Xian knows me! And he greeted me!

Although the Li family of the Imperial Capital was considered an influential clan, compared to the Qin family, the difference was like heaven and earth! Li Yang’s father, though a deputy minister in the Military Affairs Department, was only one of seven, and his position ranked in the middle. Moreover, the Military Affairs Department was just one of the many departments under the Cardinal Council.

Recently, Li Yang’s father had been casually praised by Qin Ming, the ruling member of the Cardinal Council, over a small matter. This had caused great excitement within the family and even raised his father’s standing within the Military Affairs Department.

If Li Yang could forge a connection with Qin Xian, it could potentially elevate the entire Li family to new heights! However, even though Qin Xian attended the Imperial Academy, he was elusive and rarely seen. The Li family, being a second-tier aristocratic clan, never had the opportunity or qualifications to connect with him.

It wasn’t just Li Yang—other students from the Imperial Academy also stepped forward to bow and pay their respects. After all, many of them were from noble families and were well aware of the significance of this situation. Once they realized Qin Xian’s identity, a stir erupted among the crowd, and all eyes turned toward him.

Qin Xian was a household name throughout the empire, well-known and highly regarded. When Li Yang called him the number one genius of the human world, it wasn’t entirely flattery. 

Qin Xian had awakened as an SSS-class Oracle Knight, an event that made national headlines last year. Everyone knew that the human world had gained another SSS-class professional.

Since the descent of the apocalypse, humanity had produced fewer than ten SSS-class professionals in the past thousand years. 

The last time the empire saw an SSS-class individual was over a hundred years ago. On top of this, Qin Xian came from the Qin family, one of the top five legendary families in the empire, and was the son of Qin Ming, one of the empire’s most powerful figures.

In terms of talent, strength, and background, Qin Xian stood at the pinnacle of this world. Even his appearance was…

Many male professionals looked at Qin Xian’s face with jealousy. This world truly has perfect people…

Meanwhile, several female professionals cast flirtatious glances at Qin Xian. To them, Qin Xian was undoubtedly their prince charming! If Qin Xian had any flaw, it would be that he was too perfect… so much so that it felt somewhat unreal.

On the other hand, the students from Jixia Academy looked at Qin Xian with complicated expressions. Although Qin Xian had only been a professional for two years, he had already reached level 21. With his combat strength, he was likely equivalent to someone above level 30!

While they disliked the students from the Imperial Academy, they had to admit that Qin Xian was undeniably strong.

Xiao Ming, however, furrowed his brow, glaring at Qin Xian intensely. For some unknown reason, from the moment Qin Xian appeared, Xiao Ming felt an intense, deep-seated discomfort. There was a profound hostility toward Qin Xian from within his soul!

A nemesis. A natural enemy!

Even though it was their first meeting, Xiao Ming’s Devil Hunter ability, Void Scent, had instinctively activated, locking onto Qin Xian. Void Scent allowed Xiao Ming to detect the presence of void creatures, and no existence connected to the void could escape its detection.

Yet… Qin Xian was clearly an SSS-class Oracle Knight. How could he be connected to the void?

Xiao Ming was puzzled, but soon he noticed something peculiar. Everyone knew Qin Xian was an SSS-class Oracle Knight, but many seemed to have forgotten that Qin Xian was also a dual-profession holder. To this day, no one knew what his second profession was.

Could it be… Qin Xian’s second profession is related to the void!? Although this guess was bold, even bordering on absurd, Xiao Ming’s instincts and the innate senses of a Devil Hunter led him to suspect Qin Xian and stay on guard…
