Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The flaming giant tiger seemed to be trampling the heavens and the earth. With each step Hong Hu took forward, the giant tiger of flame moved forward as well, like a small mountain.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Hong Hu leaped into the air, his body’s red spiritual power condensed, manifesting a shadow of a fierce tiger that enveloped him.

With a fierce punch, he smashed it viciously toward Du Sen in front of him.

"Bring it on!"

Du Sen’s eyes shone brightly.

Similarly, his Martial Soul also let out a roaring growl, as a huge azure monkey howled up to the sky.

In that moment, Du Sen’s figure grew explosively once more.

The already nearly nine-foot-tall man suddenly soared to a height of fifteen feet.

Surrounded by an azure glow, his bronze skin reflected a dark azure luster, making him look not like a man but like an ancient bronze pagoda.

"Whoosh!"

He swung his fists, huge as hammers, to meet Hong Hu’s attack.

The next moment—

Boom!

A loud bang resounded.

The air itself seemed to sweep up layers of ripples visible to the naked eye.

The fists of Hong Hu and Du Sen collided.

This was a direct clash of strength.

Hong Hu was known for his power.

Similarly, Du Sen’s Martial Soul was from the Titan Ape clan, naturally gifted with dominant strength.

At the moment of collision, a vast explosion sounded.

The next moment, both men staggered backward.

This terrifying backlash forced neither to hold their ground.

However,

Du Sen only took three steps back, while Hong Hu was forced seven steps back!

It was clear that Du Sen’s strength was greater than Hong Hu’s!

"Thud thud thud thud!"

Then, Du Sen charged out.

He switched from defense to attack, directly countering with left and right punches, bombarding Hong Hu with relentless blows.

Hong Hu roared continuously, throwing punches to meet the assault!

Azure light and flames intertwined, the sound of explosions constantly rang in the ears, and the clash between the two never stopped for an instant.

Finally!

Du Sen found an opening.

"Bang!"

His brutal fist landed on Hong Hu’s chest!

"Pugh!"

Hong Hu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Then, Du Sen followed up with two more punches in quick succession, smashing into Hong Hu’s shoulder and abdomen respectively.

The sound of breaking bones was heard.

Blood also seeped from Hong Hu’s mouth!

"We concede!"

A voice called out.

It was an old man in a crimson long robe.

This person was Hong Hu’s master, Elder Fang Li from the West Courtyard.

Knowing that the situation was irreversible, and Hong Hu had no chance of turning the tables, and to prevent Hong Hu from suffering even more severe consequences—or possibly even worse—Elder Fang Li took the initiative to concede defeat.

Amidst his roar, Du Sen, who had intended to land another heavy punch on Hong Hu’s head, stopped when he heard Elder Fang Li’s voice.

After all, Du Sen and Hong Hu had no personal grievances, and offending an elder would bring no benefits to Du Sen.

So, when his fist was less than a foot away from Hong Hu, Du Sen decisively halted his punch.

Then, with a kick, he sent Hong Hu flying out of the arena.

"This combat duel, Du Sen wins!"

As the elder in purple robes announced the end of the fight, the disciples from the East Campus erupted in deafening cheers.

With this fight, the East Campus disciples had already achieved a three-win streak.

Qin Chang, Linghu Leiyue, and other leaders and elders from the East Campus all showed smiles on their faces.

The East Campus was as dominant as ever.

The competition among all the institute’s disciples was much more predictable than that of the newcomers.

As for Xu Fang, Xu Qingyuan, Zheng Kaihe, Mo Kong, and other leaders and elders from the West Courtyard, their expressions gradually darkened...

Was the West Courtyard going to repeat the same mistakes this year?

Would they be ruthlessly ground into the dust by the East Campus again?

"Has the West Courtyard run out of people?"

Standing in the middle of the arena, Du Sen pointed at all the West Courtyard Disciples with an extremely arrogant attitude, "West Courtyard disciples, all of you are just a bunch of cowards, trash, and losers!"

Du Sen’s insults made Pei Zhenshan, Mo Nian, and others seethe with anger.

"This Du Sen, his insults are really harsh!" remarked Mo Nian with a cold snicker, as he was about to step out from among the West Courtyard Disciples.

But just in front of him, Qin Qing had already stepped forward.

"Huh?" Mo Nian was slightly startled, "Qin Qing, you’re going up?"

"Yes!" Qin Qing nodded, "Let me handle him!"

"You sure you can?" Mo Nian expressed doubt, seemingly unconvinced of Qin Qing’s ability.

"There shouldn’t be a problem!" Qin Qing nodded again, his gaze resolute.

Mo Nian was still skeptical, but after a moment of thought, he nodded, "Alright then. Consider it a trial, but be sure to protect yourself. If you sense any danger, withdraw immediately. There’s no need to act tough; do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood!" Qin Qing replied.

"Good, I’m just worried that you would become complacent due to your earlier performance and lose sight of reality. But the challenge of a duel is not what you imagine. It’s extremely dangerous, and you could be risking your life at any given moment..." Mo Nian continued to ramble, but Qin Qing had already stepped onto the arena.

Seeing Qin Qing approach, Du Sen in the center of the arena couldn’t help but sneer with a mocking look in his eyes, "You? It seems the West Courtyard really has no one left!"

"Is that so?" Qin Qing’s lips curled slightly, "The West Courtyard has plenty of talents; it’s just that they don’t need to take action. To handle you, I am more than enough!"

Still shaking his head, Du Sen didn’t take Qin Qing seriously at all.

"I know your name, Qin Qing, with a Ninth Rank Martial Soul, and dual Ninth Stars talent. Your talent can be said to be the strongest in the history of the Great Qian Martial Institute. But so what? Talent is merely talent."

"The fact that you could climb to the top of the Vertical Cloud Ladder in record time merely represents your talent!"

"That you could secure first place among the newcomers also only stands for your talent!"

"But this battle is a test of strength. Clearly, you’re still too weak..."

"I advise you to forfeit now, and get down from here! I don’t wish to waste my energy and time on you!"

With an air of arrogance that seemed to look down on Qin Qing through his nostrils, Du Sen postured confidently.

Qin Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

This Du Sen really was insufferably arrogant!

"Let’s begin!"

Qin Qing, tired of the talk, materialized the Azure Dragon Spear in his hand, and with a flick of the spear, its tip aimed at Du Sen.

"Heh, fine. Then I’ll let you understand that you’re nothing but a joke. Also, after this, don’t ever wave that thing in your hands in front of me again!"

With a roar, Du Sen’s Martial Soul manifested once more.

His momentum and strength also surged to their peak in that instant. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Get out of here!"

He bellowed, and his voice seemed to create waves of pressure in the air.

At the same time, his sweeping punch, as formidable as an iron chain blocking a river, pushed forward explosively with a terrifying force.

Suddenly, an immensely powerful force, accompanied by the pressure wave, charged at Qin Qing head-on!
