Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 126 - 120: The Priceless Spirit Talisman

The rivalry between the East Campus and the West Courtyard had reached a fever pitch after the first round of the new disciples’ competition ended.

The two sides had also made their dispute clear, and there was no longer any need to hold back in the next round of competition.

"Mu Yunlan!"

Inside a pavilion of the East Campus, Qin Chang, Linghu Leiyue, Lu Xunxue, and others were all gathered.

And the five new disciples who had passed the first round of assessment, led by Mu Yunlan, were also here.

"Headmaster!"

Mu Yunlan bowed respectfully to Qin Chang.

"We East Campus suffered a terrible defeat in the first round!" Qin Chang practically ground his teeth as he spoke.

"It is the disciple’s fault! I didn’t anticipate that this Qin Qing would also be skilled in the Spiritual Pattern Technique. Moreover, my understanding of his strength was also flawed!" Mu Yunlan said.

"Indeed..."

Qin Chang sighed, "Qin Qing’s performance truly exceeded all our expectations!"

"This child seems to have an extremely strong destiny!" Jun Jiulin spoke up, "I watched him fight his way out of Tianjue City, and in these months, his strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. It’s as if he has boundless potential, which is constantly emerging at a speed unfathomable to ordinary people..."

"Therefore, we cannot allow this child to remain!" Qin Chang’s voice was decisive. He looked at Mu Yunlan once more, "The first round of assessment is over. As long as we defeat the West Courtyard in the second round, we’ll still be the final victors!"

"But..." When Mu Yunlan thought of the strength Qin Qing had shown, she felt unsure.

He was able to withstand a blow from the Lightning Puppet head-on, and it seemed as though he sustained no injuries at all.

That Lightning Puppet was comparable to a Martial Dao Master in the Golden Core Late Stage!

"There are no ’buts’!"

Qin Chang said in a deep voice, "To defeat the West Courtyard disciples, you only need to defeat Qin Qing."

As he spoke, Qin Chang took out an oval object about the size of half a palm from his person.

"This is the Small Five Element Sword Array Plate. Later on, I will teach you how to activate the array plate!"

Mu Yunlan received the Array Plate. Although she didn’t have a deep understanding of formations, she knew what an Array Plate was. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

An Array Plate is an item where a formation is forged into a Spiritual Treasure Disk. This disk is like a container that can hold a Spiritual Array within it.

Once the Array Plate is activated, it can instantly set off the contained Spiritual Array, utilizing the formation either to kill an enemy or defend oneself in critical moments.

"Small Five Element Sword Array Plate?"

The surrounding Linghu Leiyue and others, upon hearing Qin Chang’s words, showed a slight twitch in their eyelids and subconsciously looked towards the Array Plate in Mu Yunlan’s hand.

The Small Five Element Sword Array is a very powerful killing formation.

A standard Small Five Element Sword Array is equivalent to a full-strength strike from a Nascent Soul Ancestor—and from a powerful one at that.

Even more, a meticulously arranged Small Five Element Sword Array surpasses the category of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, comparable to an attack from a newcomer to the Divinity Transformation Realm, capable of instantaneously annihilating a Nascent Soul Realm Martial Dao ancestor.

Of course, like this kind of Array Plate that can hold a formation, its size has been reduced many times over, and its true power is much less than that of a regularly arranged formation.

However, within a small area, the destructive power that the formation can create is still incredibly shocking.

"Mu Yunlan, this Array Plate is precious. You must pick the right moment to deal a fatal blow to Qin Qing!" Jun Jiulin said.

"Yes! This disciple will certainly not fail your expectations!" Mu Yunlan bowed.

...

Because the second round was a platform battle.

So, after the first round ended, there was one day of rest and adjustment time.

In Autumn Water Villa.

"Little junior brother, you really almost scared me to death! I thought you wouldn’t be able to withstand the Lightning Puppet’s attack..." Jiang Ruorong said to Qin Qing, the scene of him being attacked by the Lightning Puppet still causing waves of fear in her.

"The boss definitely has confidence, or he wouldn’t take the risk," Gong Yanghe said.

Qin Qing gave a slight smile, as he was touching the little white animal on the table next to him with his fingers.

The little white creature squinted its eyes, seemingly enjoying the touch of Qin Qing’s fingertips, and in the next moment, it gently leaped onto Qin Qing’s shoulder.

"Qin Qing!"

"In the next round of the arena battle, you can’t be careless!" said Bai Qiuhe, who was sitting beside him. "The East Campus suffered a terrible defeat in the first round, so in the second round they will surely do whatever it takes to deal with you."

Qin Qing nodded. "They would love to skin me alive."

"Qin Qing, this is a Spirit Talisman. Keep it safe, and when you’re in danger, activate it!" Bai Qiuhe took out a jade box from his Spirit Ring and opened it to reveal a Spirit Talisman inside.

"This Spirit Talisman!"

When Qin Qing saw the talisman, his gaze sharpened.

This Spirit Talisman was even more advanced than the one given to him by Headmaster Xu Fang.

"This is a Fifth Rank Superior Grade Spirit Talisman, capable of blocking a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul Ancestor at their peak!" Bai Qiuhe said.

Qin Qing’s heart trembled.

Fifth Rank Superior Grade Spirit Talisman!

He was acutely aware of what such a talisman meant.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, this was a treasure!

Having such a talisman almost guaranteed an absolute chance of surviving.

Because in the Great Qian Dynasty, the most powerful experts only reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Being able to block an attack from a Martial Arts ancestor of the Nascent Soul Realm was equivalent to possessing an Undying Body.

Furthermore, even at the next level, a strike from a Martial Spirit in the Divinity Transformation Realm, while the talisman would shatter, it would still absorb most of the attack’s force, providing excellent protection to the person who activated the talisman.

Such a talisman was absolutely priceless.

Even Bai Qiuhe himself probably had only one of these.

And now, he was giving out this precious item to Qin Qing directly from his own reserves.

"Thank you, Master!"

Qin Qing was moved, taking the Spirit Talisman and keeping it close.

"Remember, when you feel in danger, definitely activate it. Don’t hesitate to use it!" Bai Qiuhe instructed once more, like a loving father.

The next day.

The second round of the grand competition was about to begin.

The Martial Arts Ground was once again swarming with people.

The newly promoted disciples from the East Campus and those from the West Courtyard had already arrived at the central fighting arena, and the battle was about to start.

Mu Yunlan stood among the crowd, her gaze fixed on Qin Qing not far across from her.

He likewise looked back at her.

The upcoming arena battle was going to be a direct clash between the two.

In fact, Mu Yunlan and Qin Qing had never had a real battle in the arena before!

This time, it would determine who would triumph over whom.

"Qin Qing, between you and me, it’s time to settle things! This time, I will not let you live on. The miracles you have created will come to an end here!" Mu Yunlan thought to herself.

At the same time, there was also a hint of anticipation in her heart.

"A Ninth Rank Martial Soul, huh? I do wonder how much enhancement a Ninth Rank Martial Soul will bring me..."
