Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul

"Brother Pei, what do you make of this?"

As Qin Qing stepped onto the arena, Mo Nian asked Pei Zhenshan in a low voice beside him.

Pei Zhenshan shook his head, not saying a word.

But his expression and gestures made it clear that he had no confidence in Qin Qing.

From Du Sen’s exchange with Hong Hu, they had already realized that even if they were to defeat Du Sen, it would come at a cost.

And Qin Qing, after all, was just a newcomer; the thought of him defeating Du Sen was simply out of the question.

In the meantime, Du Sen had already swung his arm, sweeping towards Qin Qing.

Pei Zhenshan and Mo Nian couldn’t bear to watch and closed their eyes.

They seemed to anticipate that Qin Qing would be completely overpowered by Du Sen’s sweep and knocked out of the ring!

Similarly, many of the West Courtyard disciples had the same foreboding feeling.

Yet, in the next instant.

Qin Qing’s hand had already struck out.

"Spiritual power surges!"

With a direct palm strike, Qin Qing lightly slapped.

It was as if the sound of pines hitting the moon, graceful and deft.

"How absurd!"

Seeing Qin Qing’s response, Mo Nian was speechless; he shook his head in extreme disappointment and even regretted agreeing to Qin Qing’s participation.

With this momentum, not only would Qin Qing sustain severe injuries, but he would also bring shame to the entire West Courtyard.

After all, the Qin Qing standing in the ring at that moment represented not just himself, but the entire West Courtyard.

Being crushed in such a disgraceful manner and swept out of the ring would only invite mockery: the West Courtyard really has no one left!

However.

The moment Qin Qing’s palm collided with Du Sen’s arm.

"Snap!"

A crisp slapping sound was heard.

Qin Qing merely leaped lightly backward and stood firm in his original spot.

And the great force from Du Sen’s sweeping arm was completely neutralized.

Although it seemed that Du Sen had the upper hand, with Qin Qing swept back and flying out, and Du Sen remained unshaken in his original position.

But—

Qin Qing, after all, was in the Soul Refinement Realm.

And Du Sen was genuinely in the late stages of the Divine Might Realm.

Given Du Sen’s talent, which was stronger than that of most martial cultivators, and his potent eighth-rank Martial Soul, his strength couldn’t simply be measured by late-stage Divine Might Realm standards.

"Plus, there’s one more thing. Have you noticed? Qin Qing hasn’t even manifested his Martial Soul yet!"

An elder commented.

Many other elders nodded in agreement.

In fact, they too initially had little faith in Qin Qing.

Just like Mo Nian and Pei Zhenshan, they believed Qin Qing couldn’t even take a single move from Du Sen.

But now it seemed... things were not that simple!

"Heh... it seems, Brother Pei, that we both underestimated Junior Qin!" said Mo Nian to Pei Zhenshan with a touch of self-mockery after his shock.

"Indeed. We underestimated him," Pei Zhenshan nodded. "Now I’m curious to see just how strong his real strength is. Could it be... he really has the confidence to defeat Du Sen?"

"That would still be quite difficult," Mo Nian shook his head. "Du Sen is no Shangguan Feixing. Ten Shangguan Feixings wouldn’t be able to block a single Du Sen. Qin Qing’s victories over people like Shangguan Feixing and Guan Changtian might mean something, but to Du Sen, these achievements are meaningless."

Pei Zhenshan nodded again, as that was indeed the reality.

After all, Shangguan Feixing’s age was a known factor; he was several years younger than Du Sen.

And when it came to Martial Soul and other talents, he was no match for Du Sen.

"Let’s see... if Junior Qin cannot prevail against Du Sen, let him concede as soon as possible!" Mo Nian added.

Meanwhile, back in the arena.

After their initial exchange, the look of disdain in Du Sen’s eyes had largely dissipated.

"You’ve got some skills..."

Du Sen looked at Qin Qing, "Qin Qing, don’t you think it’s necessary to manifest your Martial Soul?"

Qin Qing grinned and, with the surrounding Spiritual Power churning.

Boom!

His Martial Soul manifested.

However...

His Martial Soul still did not manifest in its true form.

If his Martial Soul were to manifest directly in the form of the Divine Dragon, it would probably cause a huge stir in the Great Qian Dynasty and the many surrounding nations in no time.

Following that, the superpowers that dominate the Heavenly Mind Continent would arrive at Luochuan in the shortest amount of time.

Qin Qing did not want to reveal his Divine Dragon Martial Soul just yet.

He knew that the ensuing troubles would cause him to completely lose control.

The current situation already made him feel somewhat out of control, and he did not want things to further spiral.

Therefore, the Martial Soul that Qin Qing manifested was an azure bead.

Extremely azure!

Surrounded by azure flames, it looked like an Azure Fire Bead burning with fire.

At the same time, as the Azure Fire Bead manifested, Qin Qing’s body also burst into towering azure flames.

"Du Sen, since you want me to manifest my Martial Soul. Now, as you wish, and next, just watch... if fighting me is a waste of your time and effort!"

Speaking indifferently, Qin Qing took a step forward.

Azure flames immediately swirled around him.

"Kill!"

The Azure Dragon Spear, enshrouded in azure flames, was swung toward Du Sen to strangle him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Azure light and spear glow filled the sky.

Du Sen’s fists swung continuously, rapidly responding.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

Potent Spiritual Power collided fiercely in the air.

"Impressive!" Qin Qing silently praised in his heart. During the collisions, he could distinctly sense just how powerful Du Sen was.

It was something he still couldn’t comprehend while just observing the battle.

Du Sen’s true power was even more terrifying than it appeared.

Even at that moment, during the clashes, Qin Qing quickly became suppressed, with Du Sen already taking the upper hand.

"Qin Qing, I said it, you’re not good enough! You just aren’t!"

Du Sen laughed heartily, his fists continually swirling.

It seemed he was not used to using Spiritual Treasures.

In fact, his fists were the Spiritual Treasures, and the toughness of his entire body was comparable to that of a Spiritual Treasure.

The Martial Soul of the Titan Ape meant he was destined to walk the path of endlessly toughening his Physical Body, polishing it, training it to the utmost limit.

"Is that so?"

"Du Sen! If this is the extent of your strength, then you’ve thoroughly disappointed me!"

As soon as Qin Qing finished speaking, he immediately erupted with the Blood Burning Secret Technique!

"Boom!"

His Qi-Blood and Spiritual Power ignited in that moment.

"Crackle!"

The wild azure flames that engulfed Qin Qing’s body grew even more vigorous and violent!

"Mountain Splitting Sea Divider!"

Qin Qing roared, like a Divine Dragon’s bellow, his voice echoing like a tolling bell, thunderous to the ear!

Simultaneously, in his hands, the Azure Dragon Spear suddenly lifted, and then as Qin Qing descended from the sky, the Azure Dragon Spear slashed across, brutally cleaving toward Du Sen.

The fierce azure flames shrouded the sky and lit up the entire Cloud Palace arena.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were filled with only azure and, underneath the endless azure light, that commanding figure that roared through the sky!
