Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 227 - 217: The Final Round’s List

Could it be that Su Dongxue is planning to challenge Qin Qing?

Having battled to this round, the final eight contestants left are all tough bones to chew.

For Su Dongxue, challenging anyone would be extremely difficult.

However, among these contenders, Qin Qing was the youngest and, before this battle, her renown was also the least.

Of course, by renown, what is referred to here is the recognition of one’s strength.

After all, Qin Qing had initially killed Shangguan Xuan, setting off a confrontation between Shangguan Yong and Sikong Tu that almost completely overturned Luochuan.

However—

Su Dongxue’s gaze only paused briefly on Qin Qing before she quietly dismissed the idea.

She had watched Qin Qing’s first battle very clearly.

At that time, Qin Qing had defeated Guan Xing effortlessly.

Although Guan Xing’s strength was not strong, Su Dongxue acknowledged that if she fought with Guan Xing, she could not possibly win as easily as Qin Qing did.

Moreover, she had watched the entire process of Qin Qing’s round against Xu Ping’an.

The match between Xu Ping’an and Qin Qing was primarily for the purpose of sparring, so both of them did not expend much energy.

Therefore, Su Dongxue believed that challenging Qin Qing at this moment would be a very unworthy decision.

So who should she challenge?

In the end, Su Dongxue’s gaze settled on Huang Ying.

"I choose to challenge Huang Ying!" Su Dongxue declared.

Huang Ying’s previous battle ended with a hard-fought struggle against Yuan Xiu. Although both were very strong, in Su Dongxue’s heart, Huang Ying’s strength was not far off from that of Qin Qing.

But Huang Ying had expended a great deal in her fight against Yuan Xiu.

After considering all aspects, Su Dongxue believed that choosing Huang Ying was the best option.

"Good!"

"In the revival challenge, Su Dongxue faces Huang Ying!" Qin De announced.

This revival challenge match began immediately.

Below the battle platform, including Qin Qing, everyone watched this match with serious attention. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

In fact, no matter the match, everyone would pay close attention and ponder.

After all, any victor could be one’s next opponent in the following round.

Careful observation of the opponent’s strength and determining their weaknesses and strong points could be of great help for the upcoming battle.

"Buzz buzz..."

The void vibrated.

Su Dongxue’s Martial Soul immediately manifested itself.

Her Martial Soul was somewhat special; it was a Curved Blade.

An Instrument Martial Spirit!

Her Martial Soul was the relatively rare Instrument Martial Spirit.

The silver-white Curved Blade floated and sunk in the void, faintly emitting a sharp Soul Power as if it could easily tear through the void.

"Heh!"

Without any nonsense, Su Dongxue let out a sharp cry and swung the pair of mandarin duck blades in her hands, slashing towards Huang Ying on the opposite side.

Huang Ying’s expression grew stern, her Martial Spirit also manifested immediately. Her Martial Spirit was also a special Instrument Martial Spirit—a bell.

A purple bell!

"Ding-ding-ding!"

Her Martial Spirit swayed in the void, ringing with a clear and pleasant sound.

And amidst the chime of her purple-gold bell, Huang Ying’s aura soared instantly, and the speed of her backward dash also increased a lot.

Dodging Su Dongxue’s twin blade assault, Huang Ying materialized a purple Flying Sword in her hands. She swung her sword to slash, and the patterns on the sword rippled out.

"Ding!"

The blade and sword collided, emitting a crisp clashing noise.

Su Dongxue’s figure suddenly flashed, appearing behind Huang Ying!

"What incredible speed!"

Qin Qing’s eyes couldn’t help but sharpen.

Such speed was probably not much different from his when he exerted his full movement technique.

"If I hadn’t trained in the Sky-splitting Step Technique, my speed would be much inferior to that of Su Dongxue’s."

Qin Qing silently marveled in his heart that it was indeed a wise decision for him, during the previous period, to choose a cultivation technique from the Scripture Pavilion of Great Qian Martial Institute and to have his senior sister help him refine his movement technique.

Otherwise, if he encountered Su Dongxue, he was afraid that she could completely dominate him just by relying on this sudden flashing speed.

And if Su Dongxue could achieve such speed, what about the others?

Qin Qing didn’t believe he was unique.

Those who could appear in the Wanhe Palace were all crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

For individuals like Lu Yuming, Zhao Qilin, Xu Wenjian, there must be some trump cards not yet revealed.

Indeed!

The instant Su Dongxue appeared behind Huang Ying, Huang Ying also dodged to the side.

"Whoosh!"

Two arcs of light from the twin blades in Su Dongxue’s hands slashed down, but they hit Huang Ying’s afterimage.

Huang Ying’s afterimage shattered, but her true body had already appeared two zhang away, and at the same time, the purple Flying Sword in her hands drew a dazzling purple trail in the air, stabbing straight towards Su Dongxue.

In this way...

The battle between the two had ups and downs.

What struck Qin Qing as the most impressive was the extremely exquisite movement techniques of both parties, and then there was Huang Ying’s Martial Soul. Her Martial Soul, Purple Gold Bell, could emit sound waves like ripples in the air to attack through the sound.

In the exchange with Su Dongxue, the Purple Gold Bell’s sound wave attacks caused much trouble for her opponent.

Even several times, due to the sound wave attacks from the Purple Gold Bell, Su Dongxue nearly suffered defeat.

However, ultimately, Huang Ying, due to the great toll from her previous battle with Yuan Xiu, experienced several critical moments of weakness.

In the end, she was fiercely struck by Su Dongxue’s twin blades and was directly knocked off the battle platform!

Therefore, in the resurrection challenge, Su Dongxue was successful!

She will replace Huang Ying to enter into the final round of the competition!

Consequently, the final list of eight participants was set: Du Yuan, Chu Qing, Qin Qing, Hong Hu, Xu Wenjian, Lu Yuming, Zhao Qilin, and Su Dongxue!

The last round, the top eight advance to the top four.

And this time, the qualifying tournament was to decide the four who would enter the Spring Hunt.

That is to say, one only needed to win the last round to obtain the qualification to participate in the Spring Hunt!

A look of anticipation couldn’t help but surface on the faces of these eight.

Especially Qin Qing.

"As long as I obtain the qualification for the Spring Hunt, I have the chance to advance further... With the title of Spring Hunt Champion, I will have a great chance to save Father!"

Qin Qing couldn’t help but look up at the sky.

The scene of seeing his father in the Underground Furnace flashed through his mind.

The world underground, akin to Purgatory, as well as his father’s eyes, filled with despair as if they were dead embers... all these images vividly surfaced in Qin Qing’s thoughts.

"Father, wait for me, it won’t be long before I can save you!"

Qin Qing took a deep breath.

At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky also gradually dispersed.

In this time, the snow in Luochuan had also melted away to almost nothing, and now the sky began to clear.

Everything seemed to be getting better!

"I wonder what Father would feel if he saw me now?""

"And Father, all these years, I’ve been taking care of Xiaoshuang, who has also come to Luochuan with me. If you were to see us siblings, you would certainly be very happy!"

Within Qin Qing’s heart, there was an underlying sense of anticipation.
