Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 229 - 219: The Final Competition

"The first match, Du Yuan, against Chu Qing!"

The names for the first match were announced.

Next, it was time for the drawing of the second round.

"The second match, Xu Wenjian, against Su Dongxue!"

Two rounds of names had been revealed!

But!

The names of Qin Qing and Lu Yuming had not appeared yet.

Could it be that this round, Qin Qing and Lu Yuming would actually face each other?

Everyone’s heart couldn’t help but fill with even more anticipation...

"The third round..."

Qin De continued to shake the bamboo cylinder in his hand.

Two of the last four bamboo sticks fell out.

Qin De picked up the bamboo sticks and looked at the names written on them—

"The third match—Zhao Qilin, against—Lu Yuming!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as the list for the third match was announced, there was an instant uproar.

Lu Yuming had not been paired with Qin Qing.

This undoubtedly was a loss of a major highlight!

However, the strength of Zhao Qilin was also a major highlight.

Originally, many were not very familiar with Zhao Qilin, but after yesterday’s two rounds of battle and last night’s gathering of intelligence...

Those who were not very familiar with Zhao Qilin couldn’t help but regard this Loose Cultivator with new respect.

What kind of outcome would it be when Zhao Qilin faced Lu Yuming?

Furthermore, in his previous two fights, Lu Yuming had been extremely brutal; his opponents suffered severe injuries, even having limbs broken.

Would Zhao Qilin’s fate be equally tragic in the face of Lu Yuming?

As for the fourth match, there was no mystery left in the lineup.

The last two remaining were Qin Qing against Hong Hu!

Hong Hu against Qin Qing was also a major highlight—one was the former number one disciple of the Chiyang Martial Institute, and the other was the current number one disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Moreover, Hong Hu’s performance in the previous round had been extremely ferocious; could Qin Qing withstand Hong Hu’s onslaught?

"This Qin Qing, his luck is really good!"

Among the crowd watching the battles from below the platform, Mu Hongtu glared at Qin Qing standing atop the stage, his heart brimming with jealousy, disbelief, and incredulity. It seemed difficult for him to accept that the determined young man standing on the stage was the same Qin Residence’s worthless lad he used to look down upon.

He had trouble reconciling the person before him with the figure in his memories.

Mu Yunlan had similar thoughts.

If only...

In her mind, she had imagined: if she hadn’t betrayed Qin Qing and remained his childhood sweetheart, becoming his partner as before, what would they be like now, and what would their future hold?

However, Mu Yunlan only entertained these thoughts in her heart.

There was no turning back now, nor would it be possible to return.

Mu Yunlan knew that once she took the step to betray Qin Qing, it was a path of no return.

Additionally, even though Qin Qing’s talent was impressive and his cultivation speed was now enviable, Mu Yunlan was not discouraged.

Because she knew her potential and what it meant to have the Python Sparrow Martial Soul.

The Python Sparrow could devour the majority of Martial Souls, enhancing itself by devouring them.

According to the rumors, the Python Sparrow could devour dragons, and once it consumed the Divine Dragon Martial Spirit, it would ascend to the realm of the legendary, forbidden Martial Souls.

"However, how difficult is it to devour the Divine Dragon Martial Spirit? Whether there are Divine Dragon Martial Spirits in this world is not certain, let alone whether one can encounter and devour an Azure Dragon Martial Soul!"

"But no matter what, I must do everything possible to enhance my Martial Soul!"

"Qin Qing, you may shine brighter than me now, but there will come a day when you will realize that I, Mu Yunlan, am not inferior to you!"

While Mu Yunlan was engrossed in thought, the first match on the stage had already begun.

Du Yuan against Chu Qing!

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

As soon as the fight began, Chu Qing’s figure instantly vanished from the spot, and then, in a blink, six or seven Chu Qings appeared on the stage.

Of course, there was only one real Chu Qing, the other six were nothing but illusions.

This also demonstrates how fast Chu Qing is.

In the previous battle, Chu Qing’s most dominant attribute was her speed!

Du Yuan stood his ground, having not moved an inch, but his eyes exuded a sharp light, closely following the changes in Chu Qing’s figure.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Chu Qing appeared behind Du Yuan, with a blue Curved Blade in her hand shimmering with blue icy radiance, slashing towards Du Yuan’s back in an instant.

The Golden Falcon Martial Soul in Du Yuan let out a piercing cry as its wings spread, and a reddish glow flickered in its eyes.

Du Yuan, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, squatted down, and the next moment, he lay flat on the ground, as if he were a gecko.

Chu Qing’s strike missed in an instant.

Simultaneously, the sword in Du Yuan’s hand was already sweeping towards Chu Qing’s feet...

Chu Qing furrowed her brows, her figure once again shifted, and in an instant, three Chu Qings appeared, dodging Du Yuan’s sword, and then these three figures attacked him again.

It must be said, Chu Qing’s speed is indeed fast!

Du Yuan was already fast, but Chu Qing was clearly faster.

This time, Chu Qing’s three figures closed in on Du Yuan even more.

Du Yuan let out a low shout, and his golden Longsword swept out amid the onlookers’ rotation.

"Clang clang clang!"

The sound of the blade clashing with the sword kept coming.

The crowd saw Du Yuan spinning rapidly as if he were a golden spinning top, stirring up brilliant golden streaks of light as he rotated.

Meanwhile, around him, it seemed as if six or seven Chu Qings were attacking the golden spinning top at the same time.

Their figures had reached the ultimate speed, to the point where many couldn’t see clearly, and only those with higher cultivation among those present could truly grasp the situation.

This intense battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour.

In the end, as a large cluster of blinding golden light suddenly rose in the center of the battlefield, the outcome was finally declared!

Surrounding Du Yuan, arcs of golden light abruptly appeared, converging together like a huge golden chrysanthemum blossoming, instantly enveloping both Du Yuan and Chu Qing within it.

With a cry of pain, the "chrysanthemum" formed by the convergence of golden Sword Qi burst open instantly, and Chu Qing was already lying on the ground, her body covered with sword marks, and blood stained her clothes red.

"I concede!"

As Chu Qing spoke, a trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

On the other side, Du Yuan’s Martial Soul faded away, and the golden light in his eyes also dissipated.

His expression looked largely unchanged.

As for his aura, it also didn’t seem to fluctuate much.

In this battle, except for Chu Qing, probably only a few knew whether Du Yuan was injured.

But what was certain is that in the series of exceptionally intense exchanges just now, Du Yuan’s energy consumption was definitely not small!

"Du Yuan wins!"

After Qin De announced the result, a slight smile finally appeared on Du Yuan’s face.

In the last round of the top eight, Du Yuan won, which also meant that he was highly likely to have secured a spot in the Spring Hunt.

The reason it’s "highly likely" and not certain is because there is still a final revival challenge in the last round!

That is to say — including Chu Qing, the losers still have a chance to issue challenges.

Du Yuan quickly composed himself, moved below the platform, and closed his eyes to meditate and circulate his Spiritual Power.

The recent battle had depleted him significantly, and he now needed to recover quickly to avoid being at a disadvantage if challenged.

The second duel is about to begin!

Qin De stood on the platform and scanned Qin Qing and Hong Hu below, announcing, "The second match, Qin Qing versus, Hong Hu!"

As Qin Qing’s name was called out, numerous gazes converged on him.

The youngest Martial Artist in this Spring Hunt qualification contest.

At seventeen, he had seized the title of top disciple at the Great Qian Martial Institute!

Qin Qing!

Could he defeat Hong Hu and secure the final spot?

After hearing his name from Qin De, Qin Qing made his way step by step towards the platform, then lightly leaped onto it.

On the other side, Hong Hu had been resting with his eyes closed; upon hearing his name, his eyes suddenly snapped open, his gaze briefly flashing with flame-like intensity.

"This advancement spot is mine for the taking!"

Hong Hu seemed very confident, his figure leapt like a tiger onto the platform.

"Qin Qing, your victory ends here. The advancement spot is mine!" Hong Hu, eyes fixed on Qin Qing, exuded a dominant and aggressive aura.
