Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 163 - 153: It’s All True

"Thump, thump, thump, thump..."

Gong Yanghe, that guy, didn’t even know where he got a gong from, but the moment he entered the door, he started to bang on it with great force.

"Gong Yanghe, what on earth are you doing?"

Qin Yue walked out.

The rest of the Qin Residence’s people also came over one after another.

"Boss... The boss, he... He took first place in the Great Qian Martial Institute’s examination!" Gong Yanghe shouted excitedly.

"First place in the Great Qian Martial Institute’s examination? You mean first among the new disciples?" Qin Tong said with a smile, "That kid, Qin Qing, he’s really not bad. I don’t think it’s strange at all for him to take first place among the new disciples!"

"Right!" Gong Yanghe nodded repeatedly, and then hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, that’s not it!"

"What do you mean ’right’ and then ’not right’? What are you trying to say?" Qin Yue asked, shaking her head with a smile.

"Boss, he didn’t just take first place among the new disciples. He also took first place in the entire Great Qian Martial Institute’s disciple assessment competition!"

When Gong Yanghe said this, he felt something was off, because the looks in the eyes of Qin Tong, Qin Yue, and the others were just not right; everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"You still don’t believe me? I’m telling the truth! My boss, he defeated Gu Fengxian, and even Xie Jin’an was beaten by the boss. You don’t know, Xie Jin’an even broke through to the Golden Core Realm at the last moment, but he still lost to the boss..."

Gong Yanghe spoke more and more anxiously, wanting to explain, but it was clear that no one around him believed him.

Defeating Gu Fengxian?

Gu Fengxian was the first disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute.

And he defeated Xie Jin’an?

Not to mention that Xie Jin’an had broken through to the Golden Core Realm!

The Golden Core Realm, that was the level of a Martial Dao Master... Even if Qin Qing had exceptional talent, he couldn’t possibly defeat a Martial Dao Master at this time, could he?

The people of the Qin Residence all shook their heads, about to disperse.

But at this moment, Bai Qiuhe, Qin Qing, and Jiang Ruorong walked into the gates of the Qiuhai Villa.

"Brother!"

Qin Shuang was the first one to rush over.

She wanted to throw herself into Qin Qing’s arms, but seeing his battered state, she stopped short and then burst into tears.

"Brother, how did this happen to you? Brother, does it hurt?"

Qin Qing chuckled, he did look quite a sight indeed at the moment, but he had already improved a lot since the fight had ended.

The Dragon Blood Physique was not just for show; its powerful self-healing ability was beyond anything an ordinary martial cultivator could imagine!

Now, he could basically walk freely, and the spiritual energy within him was constantly circulating, rapidly repairing his physical body under the enhancement of the Emperor Dragon Secret Technique...

"It’s fine. I’m doing great, these are just superficial wounds!" Qin Qing said with a smile as he crouched down to wipe away Qin Shuang’s tears, then affectionately picked her up and tousled her black hair.

During this time, Qin Shuang’s health had also improved a lot; her illness was suppressed, and her body gradually seemed to be recovering to normal.

"Third brother!"

Qin Yue also came over: "Third brother, if you hadn’t come back, Elder Brother Gong Yanghe would have blown things out of proportion here!"

Gong Yanghe rolled his eyes, making a helpless face, and then said with a sly grin: "You don’t believe what I said, right? Elder Bai! I said, my boss defeated Gu Fengxian and Xie Jin’an this time, taking first place among all the institute’s disciples. They didn’t believe me, and they said I was boasting! Tell them, was I boasting?"

"Gong Yanghe is telling the truth. Qin Qing indeed took the overall first place, and he did defeat Gu Fengxian and Xie Jin’an," Bai Qiuhe said with a smile.

In that instant, everyone in the courtyard from the Qin Residence was stunned.

"What’s the matter? All of you dumbfounded?" Gong Yanghe snorted: "I already told you, and you didn’t believe me. Now that Elder Bai’s said it, do you believe it?"

"Ah..."

"Is this really true?"

Following that, Qin Yue was the first to exclaim.

"Master! My third brother, he actually took first place?"

"Qin Qing. You actually took first place in the entire Great Qian Martial Institute..."

Qin Tong also opened his mouth in astonishment.

Qin Tao and the other people from the Qin Residence were also looking at Qin Qing with disbelief.

Qin Qing looked at everyone’s reactions and couldn’t help but smile and nod.

With Qin Qing’s affirmative response, the people of the Qin Residence became even more frenzied.

Even Qin Tong and Qin Tao had tears streaming down their faces in excitement.

"Second Uncle, Seventh Uncle, I haven’t let you down..." Qin Qing looked at his second uncle and seventh uncle, knowing what it meant for them to follow him to Luochuan Imperial City, having abandoned their entire foundation, almost betting everything on him.

"Yes, you haven’t let us down! Qin Qing, your second uncle is proud of you!" Qin Tao said.

"Not just not letting us down?" Joy was evident on Qin Tong’s face, "Qin Qing, you have given us an enormous surprise! If, if your father could know this news..."

At this point, Qin Tong unconsciously stopped.

A trace of sadness flashed through Qin Qing’s eyes as well.

If father and mother knew this good news, they would surely be very happy, right?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Bai Qiuhe quickly laughed: "Haha... Alright, let’s not disturb Qin Qing for now, let him continue his cultivation and healing. How about we hold a celebration banquet tonight?"

"Good!"

"Tonight’s celebration banquet!" Gong Yanghe cheered.

"Tonight, we won’t return unless we’re drunk!" Qin Tong declared, raising his fist.

"Elder Bai, Qin Qing could achieve such accomplishments, we still have to thank you for your careful guidance!" Qin Tao said.

That evening.

The celebration banquet at Autumn Water Villa began.

It was not just the people from Autumn Water Villa, but Xu Fang, Xu Qingyuan, Mo Kong, Zheng Kaihe, and others who were all present as well.

In addition, many elders from both the East Campus and West Courtyard also came to Autumn Water Villa to congratulate Qin Qing and Bai Qiuhe.

Many elders from the East Campus and West Courtyard, who were not originally on Xu Fang’s side, also came to participate in Qin Qing’s celebration banquet that night, clearly with the intention of showing allegiance.

In the end, the celebration banquet concluded amidst laughter and cheering.

"Qin Qing!"

Before leaving, Xu Fang approached Qin Qing.

"Director Xu!" Qin Qing hurriedly bowed in salute.

"This is a Horn Token! Do you know the use of a Horn Token?" Xu Fang handed a Horn Token to Qin Qing.

"I know!" Qin Qing nodded, aware that a Horn Token was used for transmitting messages, and well-made Horn Tokens were quite expensive.

"This Horn Token has my divine sense mark on it, and you can contact me immediately through it!" Xu Fang said, "As long as you’re in Luochuan, if you encounter any danger, tear the Horn Token, and I will rush to you at once!"

Qin Qing was moved and quickly clenched his fists, deeply understanding what such a Horn Token signified.

Xu Fang was now of the Nascent Soul Realm and had considerable strength. In Luochuan Imperial City, there were hardly a few who would dare to truly offend him.

Once he was in danger, if he activated the Horn Token, Director Xu would arrive immediately; Qin Qing need not fear anyone and would no longer have to worry about his life.

"Additionally, here are three Body-Protecting Talismans!" Xu Fang added, "Originally, I didn’t have any Body-Protecting Talismans left, but these three I have scavenged from other elders, and they are all of the highest grade. With these three Talismans, even if a Nascent Soul Ancestor wants to kill you, you can at least hold on for a dozen breaths. In such a long time, within Luochuan Imperial City, it will be enough to wait until I arrive..."

Qin Qing nodded, understanding that Xu Fang was taking extra precautions.

Normally, a Nascent Soul Ancestor would not easily attack a junior.

Besides, mobilizing a Nascent Soul Ancestor was not an easy feat.

But there was also the fear of such a possibility. Now, with these three high-rank Body-Protecting Talismans, Qin Qing would have enough time to react, activate the Horn Token, and hold on until Xu Fang arrived.

This also guaranteed that Qin Qing could move freely within Luochuan Imperial City.

Whereas before, Qin Qing didn’t even dare to leave the Great Qian Martial Institute...

"Thank you, Director!"

Qin Qing bowed respectfully once again.

"Oh, and there’s one more thing, Qin Qing. This is news about your father..."

At those words from Xu Fang, Qin Qing’s eyes widened.

Qin Shuang, who was beside him, also quickly came forward, tugging at Qin Qing’s sleeve, looking eagerly at Xu Fang.
