Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 309 - 297: Reunion with Lu Yu’an

Qin Qing and the Zhuiri Ancestor rode on the Bodhi Sculpture, flying southward from the Northern Pass.

There’s no need to rush the journey.

There’s still plenty of time.

With the speed of the Bodhi Sculpture, flying from the Snow Eagle Sect to Luochuan Imperial City at full speed would take less than a day to arrive.

But there’s absolutely no need for that.

For one thing, the Bodhi Sculpture would grow tired if it flew at full speed.

Secondly, the person riding on top would also feel uncomfortable.

After all, the speed is too fast...

With ample time, there’s no need to race at full speed.

On this journey, Qin Qing can still cultivate; the energy within the two Burial Dragon Steles from the Snow Eagle Sect had been absorbed into his body, but only a part of it had been truly refined.

About half of that energy is still stored inside Qin Qing.

So, on this journey, Qin Qing can still practice cultivation, fully absorbing and refining that part of the energy within him.

Additionally... he can enjoy the scenery along the way.

It’s entirely different from the way here; on the way here, Qin Qing worried about being hunted and even disguised himself as a merchant venturing through the Border Pass.

But now, with the Zhuiri Ancestor by his side, even if a powerhouse from the Lu Clan made a move, Qin Qing needn’t fear.

So, no need to hide anymore.

Another factor is the increase in Qin Qing’s own strength.

Before coming, Qin Qing was worried whether he could find the Burial Dragon Stele, concerned that his cultivation wouldn’t improve over this month-plus, which would leave him with no assurance for the spring hunt.

But the improvements in Qin Qing’s cultivation realm and strength have exceeded his own expectations.

Now, he’s at the sixth level of the Divine Might Realm, having raised five small realms since his arrival. Besides, Qin Qing’s body still contains an enormous amount of energy from the Burial Dragon Steles; fully absorbing this energy could even allow him to break through to the seventh level of the Divine Might Realm!

With Qin Qing’s current strength, he naturally has great confidence in the spring hunt.

So... his whole mentality has become completely different.

Night falls.

The Bodhi Sculpture silently flies through the night sky.

In the early part of the night, there were no stars and no moon; though the Bodhi Sculpture was moving quickly in the air, it was very quiet.

Apart from the occasional sound of flapping wings, it was mostly silent.

As the latter half of the night arrived, the stars scattered across the canopy of the sky like grains of silver.

One by one they appeared, and before one knew it, the sky was filled with countless stars.

Bathed in the starlight, Qin Qing, who was in the middle of cultivation, suddenly felt a surge of inspiration; in that instant, his consciousness seemed to cross the endless starry river, instantly soaring to the Nine Heavens, merging with the Heavenly Soul’s perception.

The Heavenly Soul, made up of countless stars, was a Divine Dragon with no visible end; a dragon whose body was formed of countless stars, glittering brilliantly, both dazzling and mysterious.

Qin Qing’s Soul Palace felt as though it was immersed in a warm ocean, indescribably warm and comfortable.

Simultaneously, the spiritual power inside Qin Qing cycled through the Circulation Cycle over and over, and in this process, the Gang Patterns became denser and more profound.

Finally—

With a thunderous sound,

the spiritual power in Qin Qing’s dantian seemed to resonate instantly, with surging spiritual power violently striking against the walls of his dantian.

At the same moment, a clear Dragon’s Chant could be heard from Qin Qing’s Soul Palace.

A blue halo, like a flame, burst forth around Qin Qing’s body...

Another breakthrough!

Qin Qing opened his eyes.

The seventh level of the Divine Might Realm!

Unknowingly, the energy from the Burial Dragon Stele within him had been completely refined.

And the effect of this refinement was better than any previous ones!

"Moo moo!"

At this time, Xiaobai was also jumping around in the air, circling Qin Qing, sensing another breakthrough in his cultivation.

Sitting beside him, the Zhuiri Ancestor, who had been meditating with closed eyes, also opened his eyes revealing his thoughts, undoubtedly showing how much he envied, jealously desired, and resented.

Zhuiri Ancestor, when he was young, was definitely one of the greatest geniuses in the Great Qian, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone become the old ancestor of the Heavenly Lake Palace.

However... his so-called genius, compared to the one before him, was totally crushed into nothingness.

But—

Just now, when Qin Qing made his breakthrough, Zhuiri Ancestor distinctly felt an unusual fluctuation emerging from his dantian.

Zhuiri Ancestor had been cultivating next to Qin Qing, and he had a feeling that was almost illusory, which was that the aura emitted by Qin Qing during cultivation seemed to enhance his own.

Zhuiri Ancestor was not originally certain about the correctness of this intuition.

But at the moment of Qin Qing’s breakthrough, Zhuiri Ancestor could confirm that his intuition was completely correct!

Perhaps it was because of the Martial Soul, but cultivating next to Qin Qing, he experienced effects he had never had before.

...

The next day.

The Divine Eagle flew directly outside the Luochuan Imperial City.

Qin Qing and Zhuiri Ancestor entered the Luochuan Imperial City on foot.

As soon as Qin Qing entered the imperial city, he saw a familiar face.

Who else could it be if not Lu Yu’an?

"Qin Qing?"

Lu Yu’an had also seen Qin Qing.

Enemies met with particular animosity in their eyes.

And Lu Yu’an’s voice immediately attracted the attention of others.

There were a few friends around Lu Yu’an.

Among them, there were a few... that Qin Qing had seen once at the Wanhe Palace.

These few were all part of the Seventh Prince’s faction.

Seeing Qin Qing now, these few also revealed a hint of amusement.

Thereafter, Lu Yu’an and those few people all walked towards Qin Qing.

Qin Qing stood indifferently in place, his gaze coldly watching Lu Yu’an and the others...

A genius from the Hidden Dragon List?

If it was a month ago, Qin Qing indeed would have been fearful, because at that time, in front of Lu Yu’an, he had no power to resist at all.

But now... Qin Qing’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds, incomparable to that of a month ago, and facing Lu Yu’an, there was no need to be afraid.

"How’s it going?"

Qin Qing looked faintly at the approaching Lu Yu’an.

"I came over only to remind you! The spring hunt will start in two days," Lu Yu’an said, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, not concealing it in the slightest.

"Hmm! I know, that’s why... I’ve come back!" Qin Qing said lightly.

"Good, you’ve got guts. I hope that when the spring hunt officially starts, you can still maintain your arrogance, instead of being trampled underfoot by me like a dead dog!" Lu Yu’an stated.

Qin Qing’s mouth curled slightly, "Your brother said the same to me before the great competition in Wanhe Palace!"

"You!" As soon as Qin Qing uttered these words, Lu Yu’an immediately flew into a rage.

His body surged with killing intent, the violent Golden Core True Intention merging with the spiritual power, and it exploded out in an instant.

Everyone around was intimidated by the aura that Lu Yu’an suddenly released, then they promptly cleared the way, putting a distance between themselves and Lu Yu’an, Qin Qing, and the rest.

"Is that Lu Yu’an?"

"Rumor has it, he is the mysterious Young Family Master of the Lu Clan. In his thirties, he has already reached the Golden Core Realm!"

"That is the number one monstrous talent on the Hidden Dragon List. His talent can be said to be the first among the younger generation of the Great Qian today," people exclaimed in admiration.

"The person standing opposite him now, that’s Qin Qing, right?"

"That’s right, he is Qin Qing. I’ve seen him in the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion..."

"Qin Qing is also a person of the moment. I heard he personally killed Lu Yu’an’s brother..."

"That’s correct. Now this matter, I’m afraid no one in the imperial city doesn’t know about it."

"Qin Qing is also considered a monstrous talent of his generation, it’s just a pity he offended the Lu Clan, offended Lu Yu’an. This year’s spring hunt, I’m afraid his life is in great danger..."
