I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 637: Chapter 482: Mocking, Celestial Veil Technique (Part 2)

Asaki’s heart sank as he looked at Qin Tian again.

This time it made him even more furious.

Behind the flying Qin Tian, a faint silver space ripple suddenly emerged, and a Gate of Space quickly unfolded. Qin Tian’s body was already halfway through the door, and before it closed, Qin Tian specifically waved at him with a teasing smile on his lips and a disdainful look in his eyes, as if mocking a foolish person being played around.

“Swish—”

The Gate of Space closed instantly, leaving only shattered snow and cracked frozen earth behind.

Only then did Asaki realize that he had been fooled all along!

Anger and humiliation erupted in Asaki’s chest like a volcano, his eyes were blood-red, and he squeezed out words through his teeth.

“None of you will escape!”

……

A hundred kilometers away on the snowy plains, the blizzard still howled, but it no longer felt deadly.

Qin Tian and his two companions stood behind a wind-sheltering ice rock, which blocked most of the snow. The faint chill in the air did not affect their mood at all.

“Haha, Qin Tian, you really haven’t changed at all!” Zhuge Yu chuckled.

Back in the Azure Wood Star Realm’s genius competition, Qin Tian toyed with those geniuses, turning the whole Star Realm’s broadcast into their black history. Now, in these ancient ruins, even a Tier Seven Holy Blood Asura was played right into his hands.

Taishi Feng stood by, his eyes still filled with amazement and shock.

He had thought that facing a Tier Seven Five Stars Holy Blood Asura, even if they fought desperately, it would be hard to escape intact. Yet Qin Tian’s mastery of space had reached an unparalleled level.

The timing and positioning of opening the space gate were precise, allowing them to escape effortlessly right under Asaki’s nose. Surely by now, that Luoho Clan direct lineage must be fuming.

“Of course,” Qin Tian smiled, his tone relaxed, “that guy couldn’t have seriously thought I would fight him head-on to the end, right? I’m not that dumb.”

Asaki was a Tier Seven Five Stars Holy Blood, nearly a tier above him, and a direct lineage of the Luoho Clan, significantly stronger than the Rakshasa girl they met before.

If they fought to the finish, regardless of winning or not, even if he won, the cost would be too severe, making it not worth it.

Since Asaki couldn’t escape, it was better to first secure the treasure. If there happened to be an opportunity for a breakthrough, he could come back to deal with him after getting stronger.

“You’re right,” Zhuge Yu agreed, nodding. “We’re here for opportunities, no need to waste energy on a temporary scuffle.”

“Forget about him, I called you here for something important.” Qin Tian gestured, and with a flip of his palm, an ice stele appeared out of thin air.

The ice stele emitted a biting chill, and the ancient patterns on its surface flickered in the snow, exuding the weight of an ancient artifact.

Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng’s eyes instantly sharpened, instinctively moving closer.

Zhuge Yu observed it for a moment and exclaimed, “Your luck is amazing! You just entered the ruins and already found such a treasure.”

“Just a lucky encounter,” Qin Tian replied humbly, then turned serious, “The treasure is secondary. The key is I got important information from this ice stele—the ruins were left by the ancient Ice God Race.”

The two showed no surprise; they already learned about the battle history between the Ice God Race and the black creatures from memory fragments while absorbing the Ice Element.

Qin Tian continued, “Before the Ice God Race perished, they left seven treasuries in the ruins to preserve their clan’s treasures. This ice stele in my hand is the key to one of those treasuries.”

As soon as he said this, Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng’s eyes burst with intense joy, mixed with some surprise.

Zhuge Yu was straightforward: “With such a major opportunity, you never thought of keeping it to yourself?”

“I did, but I can’t do it alone,” Qin Tian spread his hands honestly, “Opening the treasury requires a specific ritual without any external disturbances, or it would fail completely. There are many monsters around the treasury; I can’t manage opening it and defending against them alone, so I need your help to guard.”

Upon hearing this, instead of being displeased, Zhuge Yu and Taishi Feng smiled.

Putting themselves in his shoes, encountering such a personal opportunity, anyone’s first reaction would be to keep it secret; they would do the same.

That Qin Tian thought of them first when needing help was already commendable, at least indicating he trusted them.

“Alright, we’ll help. But, being brothers, we must settle accounts clearly, and no skimping on the fee~” Zhuge Yu said with a smile.

“Of course, both of you will definitely get your share,” Qin Tian laughed and added, “Now let’s go find Yuansheng; the three of you will be enough.”

“What about Lan?”

Zhuge Yu hadn’t forgotten about the exceptionally beautiful outsider by Qin Tian’s side.

“I can’t find Lan right now.”

Qin Tian shook his head; upon entering the ruins, he initially sensed the mark he left on Lan, but it soon disappeared.

However, he believed firmly that Lan had more than enough strength to protect himself.

Now that the mark had vanished, probably something unexpected occurred.

As for whether it’s good or bad, it’s hard to say, but he guessed it’s likely moving in a good direction.

After all, Lan was a member of the Ice God Race.

“I see~”
