Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 230 - 220 Physical Body Confrontation

Hong Hu’s momentum was overwhelming; the moment he stepped onto the stage, he used his domineering presence to pressure Qin Qing.

At the same time, his Martial Soul directly manifested, and a gigantic ferocious beast shrouded in flames appeared in the void.

The Explosive Flame Tiger!

Hong Hu’s Martial Soul was indeed the Explosive Flame Tiger, which is a level higher than the Crimson Flame Tiger!

Hong Hu held nothing back, fully releasing his aura.

Because Hong Hu knew that he couldn’t hold anything back against Qin Qing.

Hong Hu had also watched Qin Qing’s previous battles with great attention.

He was well aware that although this first disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute was within the Divine Might Realm, his strength absolutely couldn’t be judged by his Cultivation Realm.

Previously, he also suspected that, as Guan Xing said, Qin Qing had used some kind of forbidden secret technique.

But in the end, after two fights, Qin Qing showed no negative effects that come with utilizing a forbidden secret technique.

Therefore, Hong Hu guessed that even if he were to fight Qin Qing head-on, he didn’t have absolute confidence in victory.

But Qin Qing was after all still a disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Being a disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute meant he lacked real combat experience.

Furthermore, at just seventeen years of age, the greatest weakness of martial artists in this age group was their temperament!

So, the moment Hong Hu stepped onto the stage, he used his momentum to impose psychological panic on Qin Qing.

However—

Facing Hong Hu’s oppressive aura and verbal provocation, Qin Qing seemed unmoved.

At this moment, he was like a rock, unshakably withstanding the impact of Hong Hu’s aura.

Afterward, Qin Qing’s Martial Soul manifested.

Just as Qin Qing’s Martial Soul was manifesting, his expression subtly changed, and a light flickered in his eyes.

"As expected—"

A brilliant expression emerged on Qin Qing’s face.

Indeed, the moment Hong Hu stepped onto the stage, Qin Qing guessed a certain possibility.

And after his Martial Soul manifested, that guess turned into certainty.

That was, Qin Qing could directly absorb Hong Hu’s Martial Soul Power.

This was exactly like the situation last year at the year-end disciple assessment of the Great Qian Martial Institute, where Qin Qing fought against a disciple named Tu Baihong.

Tu Baihong’s Martial Soul was a magma monster burning with flames.

As a result, during the battle, Qin Qing continuously absorbed the monster’s Flame Soul Power. In the end, without any surprise, after continuously providing Qin Qing with Soul Power nourishment, the opponent was swept off the combat stage by Qin Qing.

And now, Qin Qing once again felt that familiar sensation.

Therefore, before the battle had even begun, Qin Qing knew there was no suspense left.

Still, Qin Qing didn’t let his guard down; he slightly focused his mind and began to subtly operate his Martial Soul, absorbing Hong Hu’s Martial Soul Power.

"Kill!"

Hong Hu bellowed furiously, leaping up and pouncing towards Qin Qing like a fierce tiger.

At the same time, the intense Soul Power and Spiritual Power were also rapidly transferring toward Qin Qing.

Qin Qing swung his hands and struck fiercely.

"Tablet Splitting Palm!"

His fierce Palm Imprint met Hong Hu head-on.

"Good! Well met!"

A cold smirk lighted up in Hong Hu’s eyes, tinged with a hint of mockery.

He knew that Qin Qing was skilled in spear technique, as in all previous battles, Qin Qing had been using the Azure Dragon Spear.

Hong Hu, on the other hand, wielded a pair of Copper Hammers, but he was not using weapons now because even without them, Hong Hu’s combat strength wasn’t much affected.

Hong Hu’s Physical Body was extremely strong.

This was because his Martial Soul was the Explosive Flame Tiger.

The Martial Soul of the Explosive Flame Tiger constantly tempered the Physical Body, and during the process of cultivation, the Martial Soul Power could also continually strengthen the Physical Body.

The Flaming Tiger Dominating Body Art that Hong Hu cultivated was an equally fierce Physical Body Tempering technique.

So, in terms of a comparison of Physical Body strength, Hong Hu was certainly not inferior; he even believed that Qin Qing’s decision to physically collide with him was simply overreaching.

But then—

"Boom!"

Qin Qing’s Tablet Splitting Palm collided fiercely with Hong Hu’s enormous fist.

Hong Hu’s body shook violently, and from his fist, an intense pain like tearing ripped through him.

Even Hong Hu’s towering figure staggered uncontrollably backward seven or eight steps under the shock of this force.

"How is this possible?"

Hong Hu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Qin Qing.

"How can his physical strength be so immensely powerful?"

While Hong Hu was still in shock, Qin Qing had already launched another attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

His palms struck continuously, with a dense multitude of palm imprints appearing in the air.

"Ssshh!"

It was as if even the air was about to be torn apart!

This was the terrifying might of the Tablet Splitting Palm.

In fact, there were nine moves in Tablet Splitting Palm, and Qin Qing had truly comprehended only four.

Moreover, these four moves were at the level of Great Achievement, not yet at the perfection of Masterly Skill.

But that was already enough!

Qin Qing himself possessed the Dragon Blood Physique, rendering his physical body extremely formidable. Don’t judge by his size compared to Hong Hu; Qin Qing might seem smaller, but the explosive power he contained far surpassed that of Hong Hu.

Hong Hu kept swinging his fists to defend himself, his body radiating bursts of firelight, as the Explosive Flame Tiger Martial Soul howled continuously.

But Qin Qing’s Tablet Splitting Palms were relentless, one after the other, each palm strike stronger than the last, as if the palm force was stacking up!

"This can’t go on!"

Hong Hu’s entire body trembled, his arms ached terribly as if countless steel needles were piercing into his flesh and blood.

"This Qin Qing is completely different from what I anticipated. His combat style is also utterly different from his previous two battles!"

Roaring inwardly, Hong Hu suddenly bellowed.

"Boom!"

Firelight exploded around him.

The dazzling firelight formed a barrier that blocked Qin Qing out.

At the same time, he leaped backward, producing a pair of shimmering Copper Hammers in his hands.

Hong Hu had conceded! Continuing to contend in physical strength, he probably wouldn’t last many rounds before defeat!

"Is it over just like that?"

Qin Qing, however, felt somewhat disappointed. Hong Hu’s Flame Soul Power provided direct nourishment to his Martial Soul, and along with it, Qin Qing’s cultivation seemed to be growing slowly as well.

In a direct confrontation, in close combat, he could absorb even more Flame Soul Power.

However...

Qin Qing’s brows lifted slightly.

The opponent had deployed a Spiritual Treasure, but Qin Qing didn’t necessarily have to use one.

He wanted to try fighting barehanded against Hong Hu with his Copper Hammers and see what the situation would be like. Moreover, Qin Qing also wanted to absorb more Flame Soul Power.

"Swoosh!"

Without any hesitation, Qin Qing advanced again with palm strikes.

"Hmm?" Hong Hu raised an eyebrow. "I’ve deployed a Spiritual Treasure, and you’re still attacking with bare hands? Are you looking down on me?"

Anger surged in Hong Hu’s heart, taking Qin Qing’s action as a grave underestimation of him.

"Whir, whir!"

Hong Hu swung the massive Copper Hammers, making the air whistle with each swing.

Qin Qing, on the other hand, continued to meet them with palm strikes.

"Bang!"

Hong Hu’s giant Copper Hammers collided fiercely with Qin Qing’s palms.

With the amplification from the Copper Hammers, Hong Hu’s strength was visibly greater. Qin Qing’s frontal collision resulted in him being blown away by the massive impact. Moreover, the flames that burst from the Copper Hammers spread over Qin Qing’s palms, the combined shockwaves and Flame Power causing a series of cracks and bloodstains on his hands!

"Again!"

Yet, Qin Qing seemed unconcerned, once more employing the Tablet Splitting Palm to confront Hong Hu.

"What on earth is Qin Qing doing?"

As they observed this scene, everyone was filled with doubt.

They were all quite amazed by the extent of Qin Qing’s physical prowess.

But was Qin Qing’s attempt to confront Hong Hu with mere physical body not unwise?
