Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 232 - 221: The Decisive Battle Determines Victory and Life or Death_2

Chapter 232: Chapter 221: The Decisive Battle Determines Victory and Life or Death_2

At this moment, Qin Qing’s Martial Soul took the form of a bead, from which a faint azure light could be seen flowing. If one looked closely, they would find that the coursing azure light was like a dragon or snake, flickering in and out of sight.

And now, the azure bead was surrounded by thick strands of red light, as if it were enshrouded in cotton.

This red light was continuously being absorbed by the azure bead.

Everyone could see that the cotton-like red light originated from Hong Hu; it was a mix of Hong Hu’s Soul Power and Spiritual Power.

"Qin Qing’s Martial Soul can actually devour Hong Hu’s power!"

"No wonder he’s been engaging in close combat with Hong Hu!"

"So he’s been absorbing Hong Hu’s power all along..."

With this realization, everyone suddenly understood.

Previously, some had ridiculed Qin Qing for being overconfident or accused him of showing off, but now they realized how ludicrous those thoughts were.

On the surface, Qin Qing was fighting Hong Hu with his bare hands and was seemingly suppressed by him, but in reality, he had been devouring his opponent’s power all along...

"Why can Qin Qing devour Hong Hu’s Soul Power?"

Someone raised the question.

Everyone else was likewise astonished.

Devouring Soul Power?

They had never seen such a thing, nor had they even heard of it.

"Perhaps it has something to do with Qin Qing’s Martial Soul?" someone speculated.

"What exactly is his Martial Soul?"

"It’s like a sphere, or better said, a bead, with something inside."

"It’s hard to say, this could be a special type of Martial Soul."

"The devouring ability may come from his Martial Soul..." the crowd murmured speculations.

In the crowd, Mu Yunlan was also taken aback.

Devouring Soul Power?

Mu Yunlan’s Martial Soul, the Python Sparrow, also had the ability to devour.

However, her Martial Soul directly devoured other Martial Souls.

Thus, to devour someone else’s Soul Power, one had to directly strip away the other person’s Martial Soul, a method extremely cruel.

Yet, Qin Qing could devour his opponent’s Soul Power during combat?

"No wonder he could reawaken his Martial Soul and possess a talent even greater than before after I took his Martial Soul away... It must be related to this devouring Martial Soul he has awakened!" Mu Yunlan conjectured in her heart.

"However... this rate of devouring is still inferior to mine. Qin Qing, perhaps you are stronger than me now, but I believe it won’t be long before you can only stand at my feet, looking up at my existence," Mu Yunlan’s eyes gradually revealed a proud expression.

She had strong confidence in her own Martial Soul.

Meanwhile, on the battle stage.

"It’s time to end this!"

Qin Qing’s indifferent voice sounded.

Hong Hu, however, felt a tremor in his heart.

From the moment Qin Qing counterattacked, he had been completely suppressed.

"Whoosh!"

In Qin Qing’s hands, the Azure Dragon Spear appeared.

"You wanted to see my weapon?" Qin Qing’s lips curved into a slight smile, "Well then, as you wish!"

"Sweeping the Eight Desolations!"

The Azure Dragon Spear in Qin Qing’s hand swept out with a fierce and domineering force.

"Bang!"

It fiercely struck Hong Hu’s pair of giant hammers.

Hong Hu instantly felt an overwhelming surge of power like a flood hitting his arms.

His hands momentarily went numb, and as a sensation of tearing pain spread, they split open, his pair of Copper Hammers flew out of his grasp, and he himself was flung away by the terrifying force of Qin Qing’s blow...

"Bang!"

Hong Hu fell outside of the battle stage.

His pair of Copper Hammers landed beside him.

This battle — Qin Qing won!

Immediately, all around the battle stage, after a moment of stunned silence, a thunderous applause erupted!

"Well done! Qin Qing wins again. He has secured a spot in the spring hunt!" Liu Hongxue nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

"Unperturbed in victory, unbroken in defeat, maintaining such composure at all times. For a youth to possess such temperament is indeed quite commendable!" Master Chen also nodded slowly.

Jiang Ruorong too watched the ever-indifferent Qin Qing on the stage, her delicate face breaking into a nation-toppling smile. In her eyes, the reflection of the young figure on stage was likely to remain indelible for many, many years to come.

As for the other side, Mu Hongtu’s gaze was flickering at this moment.

The youth whom he once disdained, whom he once condoned and instructed his daughter to betray, had, unbeknownst to him, grown to such heights.

"But what of that? Qin Qing... Your current achievements are just this, and no more. If one day you truly stand at the summit of the Great Qian Dynasty, perhaps then you might make me regret," Mu Hongtu gritted his teeth.

He didn’t want to let himself feel regret, although in reality, the seeds of regret had already begun to sprout in his heart.

But Mu Hongtu was unwilling to admit it.

He refused to admit the fact that Qin Qing had risen.

"Without condensing a Golden Core, you are ultimately not a Golden Core True Person. Even if you were, in Great Qian, only Nascent Soul Ancestors are the true masters. Qin Qing, you might not avoid falling before achieving the Nascent Soul," he sneered.

"Moreover... Yun Lan’s potential is no less than yours. It’s still uncertain who will have the last laugh in the future!"

Mu Hongtu slowly withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Qin De had already announced that the fourth battle was about to begin.

The fourth battle was Lu Yuming against Zhao Qilin.

Lu Yuming was the youngest among the final eight, aside from Qin Qing.

But his strength was acknowledged as the strongest.

So, aside from Qin Qing, Lu Yuming was undoubtedly the person who attracted the most attention in this Spring Hunt Qualifier.

Not only did he have incredibly monstrous talent among his peers, but he was also rumored to be a descendant of the Lu Family.

Would Lu Yuming be able to defeat Zhao Qilin and enter the next round?

However, just as the battle between Lu Yuming and Zhao Qilin was about to begin, Lu Yuming suddenly declared his forfeiture!

"This battle, I, Lu Yuming, give up. I admit defeat directly!" Lu Yuming announced loudly.

"What?"

"Why?"

"Why would Lu Yuming admit defeat?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Why would Lu Yuming admit defeat without even fighting?

Did he think he wasn’t as strong as Zhao Qilin?

While many were confused and uncertain, Lu Yuming on the stage suddenly cast his gaze towards Qin Qing below: "Qin Qing, I declare that I am now challenging you!"

With these words from Lu Yuming, everyone was astonished.

So that was it!

No wonder Lu Yuming admitted defeat directly.

He did it to challenge Qin Qing!

All the losers had one opportunity to challenge someone.

Lu Yuming forfeited directly in order to challenge Qin Qing in the revival match!

If he defeated Zhao Qilin, he would have gained direct entry to the Spring Hunt.

That way, he would have lost the chance to confront Qin Qing.

And for the sake of a confrontation with Qin Qing, he actually forfeited, choosing to give up the battle with Zhao Qilin.

What did this imply?

It meant that Lu Yuming was absolutely sure he could defeat Qin Qing; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up the chance to advance.

"Has this Lu Yuming gone mad?"

"To battle Qin Qing, he actually chooses to give up the possibility of advancing directly."

"Even though in a fight with Zhao Qilin he should stand a higher chance of winning, right?"

"This is getting interesting..."

The crowd burst into discussion.

Everyone had thought that they wouldn’t be able to witness Qin Qing and Lu Yuming’s matchup in this Spring Hunt Qualifier, but unexpectedly in the end, they would see it happen in such a manner.

"Qin Qing, dare you accept the challenge? We shall decide both victory and life or death, do you dare?"

Lu Yuming stared straight at Qin Qing, his eyes cold and full of strong provocation.

Qin Qing couldn’t help but frown.

To decide both victory and life or death, huh?

"Young Master Lu!" Qin Qing spoke slowly, "Between us, there seems to be no deep hatred. Surely there is no need for this, right?"

"Hehe..."

Lu Yuming scoffed with a disdainful smile and nodded nonchalantly, "Indeed, there is no deep hatred between you and me. Even before this, one could say there were no interactions at all. But you, an ant, have no awareness of what an ant should. You’ve provoked someone you shouldn’t have. So—"

"Do I need another reason to crush you, this stinking ant?"
