Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul

However, Pei Zhenshan still beat Qin Qing to the punch.

He rushed onto the platform first.

"Junior Qin, let Pei Zhenshan go first, you should heal your injuries," Jiang Ruorong also spoke to comfort Qin Qing.

In their eyes, Qin Qing had engaged in consecutive fierce battles with Du Sen and Tu Baihong, depleting a lot of his strength.

Moreover, Gu Fengxian’s strength was indeed far superior to Tu Baihong’s.

Qin Qing was able to defeat Tu Baihong, but facing Gu Fengxian, he probably didn’t stand a chance.

Furthermore, it was clear that Gu Fengxian harbored a killing intent towards Qin Qing, and there was no need for Qin Qing to compete with him at this time.

Qin Qing could only nod helplessly.

Just then, a distant cry suddenly sounded from the sky.

A large snow-white bird was seen gliding down from the sky.

It was a completely snow-white Great Snow Eagle!

It was indeed Jiang Ruorong’s spiritual pet, Da Bai!

Da Bai flew down and landed right in front of Qin Qing and Jiang Ruorong.

In addition, there was Xiao Bai, nestled among the white feathers on Da Bai’s body.

At first, Qin Qing didn’t notice, but once Da Bai landed, this little guy crawled out from Da Bai’s feathers and quickly scurried out, coiling up in Qin Qing’s arms and continuously rubbing his chest with his little head that had a pair of antler-like horns.

As for Da Bai, it leaned against Jiang Ruorong but occasionally also rubbed its head against Qin Qing.

This scene, witnessed by many, naturally aroused a great deal of envy. Qin Qing and Jiang Ruorong truly appeared like a pair of divine immortals.

On the other hand, Xie Jin’an, upon witnessing this scene, felt even more jealous, his gaze as piercing as daggers.

Additionally, in the crowd of East Campus disciples, Mu Yunlan also revealed a complex expression in her eyes.

Had Qin Qing found a new love so quickly?

And this woman named Jiang Ruorong, her talents and background seemed extraordinary...

Mu Yunlan had naturally heard Gu Fengxian and Xie Jin’an mention this woman, Jiang Ruorong, before.

Even Gu Fengxian had once shown interest in Jiang Ruorong, and now Xie Jin’an was still fascinated by her!

"Qin Qing... the man I once abandoned, how could you find a woman more outstanding than me in such a short time? Why is this?"

Mu Yunlan felt a strange stirring in her heart, making it difficult for her to accept the reality before her eyes.

"No, these women are all blind!"

"Only the blind would fall for you!"

Mu Yunlan’s face unwittingly became somewhat twisted, and even the other East Campus disciples standing beside her couldn’t help but feel a chill, subconsciously distancing themselves from her.

As for Qin Qing, he did not notice Mu Yunlan’s expression at this time.

He and Jiang Ruorong were both focused on the center of the platform.

On the platform, the fight between Pei Zhenshan and Gu Fengxian soon entered the most intense stage.

But the gap between Pei Zhenshan’s strength and Gu Fengxian’s was ultimately too apparent.

In the end, Gu Fengxian severely wounded Pei Zhenshan, who had no choice but to admit defeat and leave the platform.

At this point, the morale of the disciples from the East Courtyard suddenly surged.

It seemed that the East Courtyard had the upper hand.

On the West Courtyard’s side, Mo Nian and Pei Zhenshan, both touted as the strongest, had been defeated.

While among the East Courtyard disciples, only one of the two leaders, Gu Fengxian and Xie Jin’an, had fought so far.

On the viewing platform.

Qin Chang burst into laughter when Gu Fengxian defeated Pei Zhenshan, "West Courtyard disciples are still so easily defeated, just like every year. No, in fact, they are getting worse year by year!"

"The decline of the West Courtyard is due to poor guidance. In my opinion, the West Courtyard has no reason to exist at all!" Linghu Leiyue followed.

"Xu Fang, it seems your bet with Qin Chang is about to fail!" the Seventh Prince also spoke up, with a mocking smile on his face.

"Isn’t it too soon to draw conclusions?" Xu Fang’s face turned cold, and he snorted.

"Xu Fang, I think you’re just talking tough. At this point, do you really think the West Courtyard still has a chance to turn things around?" Qin Chang laughed heartily and shook his head.

"That remains to be seen. Until the very end, no one can be sure what will happen, right?" the Third Prince said with a genteel and elegant smile.

"Let’s wait and see then. Let’s see if the West Courtyard can stir up any more trouble!" Qin Chang said dismissively before turning to Xu Fang, "But remember our wager, Xu Fang. If you lose, the West Courtyard must be disbanded. From then on, I, Qin Chang, will take charge of the Great Qian Martial Institute!"

...

At the Cloud Palace arena.

The many disciples of the West Courtyard all had somber expressions on their faces.

Pei Zhenshan’s defeat meant that among the West Courtyard disciples, the only one truly capable of stepping onto the stage to fight was Jiang Ruorong.

As for Qin Qing, although he had defeated Tu Baihong, there were not many who truly believed that he could beat Xie Jin’an and Gu Fengxian.

"Hahaha..." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Above the arena, Gu Fengxian laughed heartily once again, surrounded by a wisp of green light.

That was Gu Fengxian’s Spiritual Treasure.

This Spiritual Treasure seemed to have the effect of acceleration, capable of surprising opponents and striking when they least expected it.

And with Gu Fengxian’s own strength already formidable, this Spiritual Treasure was like adding wings to a tiger.

"Any more West Courtyard disciples willing to fight?"

Gu Fengxian held a folding fan, and abruptly, he twirled the fan and pointed it towards Qin Qing.

"Qin Qing, you’ve hidden for so long, isn’t it time you stand out?"

"Or do you plan to continue being a shrinking turtle, too scared to show your face?"

"Hahahaha..."

Gu Fengxian’s words triggered a burst of laughter from the other East Campus disciples.

"Shrinking turtle!"

"Shrinking turtle!"

The insults rose and fell one after another.

Hearing everyone insulting Qin Qing, Jiang Ruorong’s anger flared up.

"Gu Fengxian, let me see for myself what gives you the right to be so arrogant!" Jiang Ruorong said angrily.

"Junior, just wait here, your senior sister will take care of this ignorant and arrogant fellow for you!" Jiang Ruorong then turned to Qin Qing.

"No, senior sister!" Qin Qing stepped forward, "Senior sister, let me do it. It’s better than letting them keep calling me a shrinking turtle... Actually, I also want to experience for myself what kind of strength the so-called number one disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute really has!"

Qin Qing smiled and began to walk towards the stage step by step.

"Junior..."

Jiang Ruorong wanted to say something else, but seeing Qin Qing’s determined stride, she felt it wasn’t right to say more, only frowning slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Pei Zhenshan and Mo Nian, tending to their wounds on the sidelines, both wore resigned and bitter smiles.

"This Junior Qin is ultimately too impulsive!" Mo Nian shook his head helplessly, "Gu Fengxian deliberately provoked him with words to force him onto the stage..."

Pei Zhenshan also bitterly smiled, "Gu Fengxian clearly came with murderous intent, I just hope that Junior Qin has the ability to protect himself..."
