Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 100 - 96: Warning, Understandable?

After receiving Qin Qing’s confirmed response, Zheng Kaihe’s face also revealed a smile.

"Well then, Qin Qing, find a seat and listen to this lecture, or do you have other arrangements?" Zheng Kaihe, as an elder, was still very polite to Qin Qing.

After all, a prodigy like Qin Qing naturally possessed the allure that made teachers fond of him.

"Junior Brother, you should stay here for a lecture and get to know the other senior and junior brothers and sisters," Jiang Ruorong said with a smile.

"That sounds good!" Qin Qing nodded.

He hadn’t actually attended a class in the Great Qian Martial Institute since his arrival.

After all, he had been punished with three months of seclusion right at the beginning.

Now it was the last month, and the year-end was approaching, with the Great Qian Martial Institute about to hold the annual disciple assessment and evaluation.

So, it was a good time for Qin Qing to become familiar with his fellow disciples.

"Then I’ll be going first. I’m in the Heaven Level A Class. Come find me after class, little Junior Brother!" Jiang Ruorong said, waving her hand as she turned to leave.

Qin Qing smiled wryly and found a spot to sit down.

The eyes of the other disciples around him shone with fervent admiration as they looked at Qin Qing.

At this time, Zheng Kaihe began to explain the content of the lecture.

Qin Qing calmed his mind and listened attentively.

Zheng Kaihe discussed the issues that needed attention in the cultivation at the middle stage of the Soul Refinement Realm, the possible bottlenecks that one might encounter, and the methods that could potentially help them break through these obstacles.

Although the lecture was on theoretical knowledge, it also included a lot of Zheng Kaihe’s personal insights.

The disciples all listened very seriously, with Zheng Kaihe explaining everything in a detailed and approachable manner.

Qin Qing couldn’t help but be immersed in it, relating it to his own cultivation and experiencing many moments of sudden understanding.

While Qin Qing’s cultivation speed was very fast, it was mostly due to his innate talent.

However, with respect to some of the issues encountered during cultivation, especially the finer details, his grasp wasn’t very good.

But listening to Zheng Kaihe’s explanations, Qin Qing was able to infer other meanings, contemplate on his own, and hence figure out better ways to handle these issues.

There’s a saying, "One word from a wise person can be more valuable than ten years of study." This phrase highlights the importance of guidance.

Sometimes, a single point raised by a master could be worth more than ten years of diligent practice.

Even though the concepts Zheng Kaihe explained weren’t very complex, and Qin Qing could understand them from the start of his cultivation journey, fully grasping them would still take considerable time.

Yet, with Zheng Kaihe’s guidance, much time could be saved.

"No wonder nearly all young martial cultivators hope to enter the martial institutes of the imperial city for training!"

"Not to mention the various other materials and cultivation resources provided by the martial institutes of the imperial city, the lectures on cultivation alone given by the elders are incredibly beneficial!"

Qin Qing couldn’t help but think to himself.

Before he knew it, the lecture that lasted half an hour had unconsciously come to an end.

Zheng Kaihe struck a small bell placed on the lecture stand, signifying the end of the class.

However, many disciples remained in their seats, keenly comprehending and contemplating the knowledge they had acquired in the lecture.

Qin Qing stood up, intending to find Jiang Ruorong.

He had promised his senior sister that he would find her in the Heaven Level A Class after the lecture.

But before Qin Qing could leave the lecture hall, he saw Elder Mo Kong walk in.

Besides, Jiang Ruorong was also following behind Elder Mo Kong.

As Elder Mo Kong approached and happened to see Qin Qing coming toward him, he paused in surprise.

"Elder Mo!" Qin Qing bowed in respect.

Mo Kong nodded slightly and then said to the other disciples in the schoolroom, "For the next class, the main topic will be the application of Primary Rank spiritual patterns in the process of elixir refinement. Classes from several grades will join together, and everyone should gather at the Alchemy Pavilion!"

"The application of spiritual patterns in alchemy?" Qin Qing’s interest was piqued.

Although he could inscribe Second Rank top-quality spiritual patterns and refine top-quality Second Rank spiritual treasures, he had never actually tried his hand at alchemy.

"Junior brother," Jiang Ruorong said with a smile as she walked over.

"Senior sister!" Qin Qing responded with a smile.

"Let’s go, we’ll head to the Alchemy Pavilion together," Jiang Ruorong suggested.

Qin Qing nodded, but at that moment, a hostile gaze came from behind.

It was Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng’s eyes, full of enmity, were fixed on Qin Qing.

He strode forward, quickly arriving in front of Jiang Ruorong: "Senior Sister Jiang, since the class is about spiritual patterns, we might as well go to the Alchemy Pavilion together. I can now refine some Primary Rank elixirs. If there’s any pill you need, just let me know. I can refine it for you, free of charge!"

"Xu Cheng. I think you should save your efforts! Do you honestly believe Senior Sister Jiang would have any interest in your Primary Rank pills?"

A mocking voice came from behind Xu Cheng, followed by a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.

Qin Qing glanced over and saw that the one mocking Xu Cheng was a man dressed elegantly in fine purple silk.

What surprised Qin Qing was that the man’s cultivation aura was exceedingly contained, yet it gave off a sense of immense potential energy.

"The Divine Might Realm!"

"And at least at the Late Stage... even possibly at Perfection!"

Qin Qing thought to himself.

The Perfection of the Divine Might Realm was the False Elixir Stage.

Just one step away from achieving the Golden Core.

Within the disciples of the Great Qian Martial Institute, such a level of cultivation was definitely among the top.

Hearing the words of the man in the purple garb, Xu Cheng instantly retorted, "Although I can only refine Primary Rank elixirs now, give it some time, and my alchemy skills are bound to improve. Refining higher rank pills will then be no problem at all!"

The man in purple chuckled and shook his head, approaching as well.

"Junior Sister Jiang!" He nodded and smiled at Jiang Ruorong, "I’ve heard Elder Mo Kong say that you’ve been studying the Spiritual Pattern Technique recently. Actually, I could teach you!"

"No need," Jiang Ruorong replied coolly.

When facing others, Jiang Ruorong always seemed indifferent, only showing her girlish heart entirely in the presence of Qin Qing.

After being rejected by Jiang Ruorong, the man in purple flashed a moment of embarrassment in his eyes but quickly regained his smile and turned to Qin Qing, "This must be Junior Brother Qin Qing, right?"

"I am Qin Qing!" Qin Qing answered, looking directly at the man.

"Not bad!" The man in purple chuckled, "My name is Pei Zhenshan. I’ve heard that you have exceptional talent, Ninth Rank Martial Soul, double Ninth Stars aptitude!"

Qin Qing observed the man without saying a word.

And yet, the challenge in Pei Zhenshan’s eyes grew even more intense.

"To be honest, your potential is indeed tremendous. But... as you are now, you are not worthy of Junior Sister Jiang," Pei Zhenshan said, his mouth curling into a cold smile. "So, you should understand my meaning."

"What do you mean?" Qin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a smile that was more a smirk than a grin.

"What I mean is..." Pei Zhenshan stretched out a finger and playfully touched his nose, mocking, "You should roll away from Junior Sister Jiang’s side. Otherwise, whenever I see you, I, Pei Zhenshan, will give you a beating! Understand?"
