Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 185 - 175 Xiao Bai Breaks Through

"Junior Brother, the New Year is only a few days away. You must come back on New Year’s Day!"

As he left Autumn Water Villa, Jiang Ruorong caught up with him again, unable to help herself from reminding Qin Qing.

Qin Qing turned his head and looked at Jiang Ruorong.

In Jiang Ruorong’s eyes, Qin Qing saw longing, concern, worry, and a myriad of other emotions.

Qin Qing was a person of firm character, and yet his feelings were also extremely delicate.

How could he not sense the complex emotions in Jiang Ruorong’s heart at that moment?

But Qin Qing also knew that he was not in a position to accept Jiang Ruorong’s affection.

Because that affection was simply too heavy!

Some words Elder Lin had said were harsh, but they were not wrong. Qin Qing was now a butterfly, a butterfly unable to cross the vast ocean.

He couldn’t even control his own destiny, let alone delve into the unclear feelings between him and Jiang Ruorong.

Behind Jiang Ruorong stood the powerful Ancient Family, a behemoth Qin Qing currently could not even begin to match.

However, Qin Qing had his own goals.

His goal was to leap over mountains that seemed insurmountable and to climb peaks that looked unreachable.

He wanted to master his destiny!

All goals, no matter how distant, could be achieved if pursued step by step.

"Okay, Senior Sister!"

Qin Qing nodded, carefully concealing his emotions.

He tried to appear more aloof and adamantine, like a cold, hard stone.

"I will return on New Year’s Day, to celebrate the New Year with you, Senior Sister, Master, my younger sister, and everyone else!"

Qin Qing offered a faint smile, pretending indifference as he turned away, and, without looking back, waved his hand, "Senior Sister, it’s cold outside, you should go back!"

Behind him, watching Qin Qing walk away without turning back, Jiang Ruorong felt a sense of loss and murmured softly, "Does this junior brother really not understand what I mean?"

...

"Hu!"

As he gradually walked farther away, Qin Qing let out a sigh.

How could he not know Jiang Ruorong’s thoughts?

And how much he wished he could stay and train comfortably at Autumn Water Villa?

But he knew that such a comfortable way of training wasn’t appropriate to continue forever.

Every martial arts cultivator was striving against fate, and not a moment could be wasted.

"Besides, I don’t even have the luxury to slack off!"

"Father is still waiting for me. My younger sister’s illness also cannot be delayed any longer!"

Qin Qing’s gaze then shifted toward the distant mountain range. Under the horizon, great swathes of white snow covered the vast mountains, resembling giant snow dragons lying across the land.

That was the great outline of Tianjue Forest.

Of course, what Qin Qing could see was just the tip of the iceberg of Tianjue Forest, which sprawls throughout the Heavenly Mind Continent, and it was only referred to as Tianjue Forest in the Great Qian Dynasty.

In truth, the spread of Tianjue Forest’s mountain range was immense, with only the part near the Great Qian Dynasty being called Tianjue Forest.

"Tianjue Forest, here I come again, Qin Qing!"

Qin Qing was about to quicken his steps.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew from the sky.

A great white bird spread its wings and flew in, landing not far from Qin Qing.

And at that moment, a white figure flew out from the great bird.

It was Little White!

Little White quickly flew onto Qin Qing.

"Little White!"

Qin Qing smiled wryly, stroking Little White.

Compared to a short while ago, Little White had clearly grown a lot.

"Moo moo."

Little White, enjoying Qin Qing’s strokes, squinted its eyes, letting out a deep moo.

The cry of the Flood Dragon Serpent was a bit like that of a cow, but also somewhat similar to the roar of a tiger.

"Little White, why have you come?" Qin Qing asked while petting Little White’s little head.

"Moo moo..." Little White, trying to speak, seemed to want to spit out human words, but couldn’t articulate them properly, and could only gesture continuously with its paws, "Moo moo... Moo moo, you... me!"

In the end, Little White pointed at Qin Qing and then at itself, finally managing to get out the words "you" and "me."

Though it was just the simplest two words, they greatly surprised Qin Qing.

To think, this was the language of humans.

For a Ferocious Beast to learn the language of humans was extremely difficult.

Generally speaking, only after growing into a Third Rank Ferocious Beast was it possible to begin to learn human language.

The so-called Third Rank Ferocious Beast was equivalent to a beast in the Divine Might Realm.

A Ferocious Beast of the Divine Might Realm, having gradually awakened its Spiritual Intelligence, could indeed grasp human language if it often interacted with humans.

Upon reaching the Golden Core Realm, they could fully master it.

But Little White was only a First Rank Ferocious Beast!

"That’s not right!"

Qin Qing’s gaze suddenly sharpened; he felt that Little White’s aura had changed somewhat from before.

"Qi-Blood is full and rich, Soul Power surging."

"There is the fluctuation of Soul Power, and it is very strong and powerful. Little White, has your Cultivation broken through?" Qin Qing asked in amazement.

"Moo moo!" Little White nodded vigorously, its little eyes somewhat proud.

"Not bad!" Qin Qing chuckled, impressed. It had only been a short month since Little White was born, and in just over a month, it had broken through to the Soul Refinement Realm.

This rate of progress was downright terrifying.

In fact, normally speaking, the cultivation speed of Ferocious Beasts was slower than that of humans.

This was because humans had all sorts of Cultivation Techniques tailored specifically for human Cultivators, and these techniques, after being practiced by generations, were constantly being perfected and becoming more and more suitable for cultivation.

Moreover, humans were innately superior in the field of cultivation, being the spirit of all beings, so their cultivation speed was faster than that of Ferocious Beasts.

However, Ferocious Beasts naturally had longer lifespans than humans.

Most Ferocious Beasts had extremely long lifespans, so even without mastering any cultivation methods, their cultivation would slowly grow over time as they absorbed the essence of heaven and earth.

But the reason Little White’s cultivation could break through in such a short time was that its innate talent had been baptized by the Dragon Origin Grass.

To think that when Little White was still a Flood Dragon egg, it lay under the Dragon Origin Grass, absorbing its essence all the time.

Plus, being an Ice Flood Dragon itself, its talents were not low, with inherited cultivation memories.

So it was within reason that Little White could break through to the Soul Refinement Realm in such a short time...

As for Little White being able to quickly learn to speak human language, it must also be related to the Dragon Origin Grass!

Such a divine item as Dragon Origin Grass was a rare treasure, and it wasn’t surprising that it could enable Little White to awaken its Spiritual Intelligence early.

"Little White, do you want to come with me to Tianjue Forest?" Qin Qing asked again.

Little White nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Qing nodded and said, "Alright, since you have already reached the Soul Refinement Realm, you should indeed experience Tianjue Forest. Also, I’ll take you to see the place where you were truly born!"

"Moo moo!" Little White leaped onto Qin Qing’s shoulder, happily rubbing his neck with its little head.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Qing waved to Little White and instructed it to go back first.

However, one man and one Flood Dragon quickly made their way toward the direction of Tianjue Forest...
