Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 310 - 298 The Power of Example

The people around whispered among themselves.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu’an’s heart seethed with rage; he had long been eager to remove Qin Qing once and for all.

But his father had already warned him not to do anything before the start of the Spring Hunt.

"Young Master Yu An, just bear with it for two more days," someone beside him whispered.

"Fine," Lu Yu’an nodded, his face twisted into a malicious smile. It was unclear whether his agreement was directed at the person beside him or as a warning to Qin Qing.

"Qin Qing... you can be arrogant now, but you need to understand that you have at most two more days," Lu Yu’an said coldly.

"For these two days, consider your head merely resting on your neck. After two days, at the Spring Hunt grounds, if I don’t tear your head from your body, then I, Lu Yu’an, would have lived in vain!" he continued coldly.

"Good. Then I’ll just wait for you to come for my head in two days," Qin Qing said indifferently, then added coldly, "If there’s nothing else, can you get out of the way? A good dog doesn’t block the path!"

"Scram!" Zhuiri Ancestor, who was beside Qin Qing, was not nearly as polite.

Being blocked by a few juniors on the road was a slap in the face for Zhuiri Ancestor.

A violent aura suddenly exploded from Zhuiri Ancestor’s body, sending Lu Yu’an and the others flying away.

If it were not for Qin Qing instructing Zhuiri Ancestor before entering Luochuan to not act rashly within the imperial city and especially not to kill innocents without cause,

Zhuiri Ancestor would have likely already killed all those juniors making grandiose statements.

Lu Yu’an and the others were all horrified.

Although Zhuiri Ancestor did not injure them, the power he displayed was enough to inform them that this old man was a Nascent Soul Realm Martial Dao master.

"Who is that person?"

"When did Luochuan acquire such a Martial Dao master?"

"And why is he following Qin Qing?"

Several people around Lu Yu’an discussed with confusion.

"Who cares who he is!" said Lu Yu’an coldly, "No one can interfere with the Spring Hunt two days from now, not even a Nascent Soul Realm Martial Dao master. At that time, who can stop me from crushing Qin Qing to death?"

"Exactly! It seems like Qin Qing has forgotten that a month ago, had someone not stopped me, he would have died like a stray dog at Young Master Yu An’s hands."

...

Entering the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Everything felt familiar.

The Great Qian Martial Institute had already officially opened a month ago.

The disciples who had gone home for the New Year had all returned.

Now, the Great Qian Martial Institute was bustling with figures everywhere.

On the Martial Arts Grounds, disciples were practicing various Martial Techniques, sparring with each other, or deeply immersed in cultivation. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

On the paths, disciples walked in pairs or groups of three.

"Hey, isn’t that Senior Qin?"

Soon, some disciples spotted Qin Qing.

"It’s definitely Senior Qin!"

"Senior Qin is back..."

More and more disciples, hearing the news, began to walk towards Qin Qing.

"Senior Qin!"

"Senior Qin, hello..."

Each of these disciples showed respect in their eyes, and their tones were very warm.

In the Great Qian Martial Institute, Qin Qing was like a mythical figure among the disciples.

At sixteen, he ranked first as a newly admitted disciple in the Institute’s assessment, becoming the rightful top disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute.

And after the New Year, he had even defeated Lu Yuming, who was proclaimed as the top disciple of the Luochuan Institution, at Wanhe Palace.

That battle, which took place within Wanhe Palace, had not been made public.

But how could such a thing be kept secret?

In fact, within three days, the news of the Spring Hunt Qualification Tournament had already spread throughout the imperial city.

The number of disciples remaining in the Martial Institute was small due to the proximity to the year’s end, so the news did not cause an uproar at first.

However, as all the disciples gradually returned, the whole affair quickly fermented within the Martial Institute and became a topic of discussion among almost every disciple.

You see, those qualified to participate in the Spring Hunt were either the top disciples from the various Martial Institutes or young Martial Dao Masters who had stepped into the Golden Core Realm.

Yet Qin Qing went up against these Martial Dao Masters and even managed to defeat Lu Yuming, taking first place.

This indicated that Qin Qing’s strength had improved further since the Great Qian Martial Institute’s end-of-the-year competition.

"Senior Qin, I’ve hit a bottleneck in my cultivation and I would like to consult with you, may I?" A disciple looked at Qin Qing with eyes brimming with a fervent desire for knowledge.

Qin Qing could tell that this junior brother must be a martial fanatic.

"Speak," Qin Qing stopped walking and said patiently.

"Yes!"

The disciple, who was probably a couple of years older than Qin Qing, now stood before him like a student in front of a teacher. He seemed not to have expected Qin Qing to actually agree, and his voice couldn’t help but tremble with excitement, "It’s like this, Senior Qin, I am currently at the second level of Soul Refinement Realm and I’m having trouble with how to exert force when practicing the second level of the Tablet Splitting Palm."

"Show me your Tablet Splitting Palm," said Qin Qing.

"Alright!"

The disciple hastily circulated his spiritual power, and struck out with his palm.

"Whoosh!"

The air surged.

"Hmm..." Qin Qing spotted the problem at a glance.

"Actually, the issue you’ve encountered is quite simple. Any one of your Elders of Transmission should be able to identify the problem," Qin Qing explained.

"But... I’m a little afraid of my Elder of Transmission. The last time I asked him for advice, he scolded me for being slow-witted..." the junior brother said somewhat bashfully.

Qin Qing couldn’t help but smile slightly and shook his head, "Now, let me demonstrate for you."

Luckily, Qin Qing had also cultivated the Tablet Splitting Palm.

A martial technique like the Tablet Splitting Palm was an Earth Level technique.

Ordinary disciples from the Martial Institutes certainly couldn’t practice the entire set of cultivation techniques directly like Qin Qing could.

They could only practice a small portion indeed.

Qin Qing slightly circulated his spiritual power and struck out with a palm.

"Crack!"

As Qin Qing’s palm fell, it was as if the air itself had exploded.

Such might, compared to the disciple’s effort just before, seemed like two completely different martial techniques.

"You’re being too hasty with your power. When the spiritual power circulates to your palm, it’s not fully dispersing, which causes the power to be blocked when it bursts forth."

Qin Qing looked at the junior brother and added, "During cultivation, you must never be impatient or hasty. The Tablet Splitting Palm, at higher levels, possesses immense destructive power, but at the beginner’s stage, you need to be steady and secure, and must not be rash!"

After hearing Qin Qing’s words, the junior brother nodded incessantly.

"So that’s how it is..."

"Thank you, Senior Qin!"

"Thank you, Senior Qin!"

The junior brother bowed repeatedly to Qin Qing, backing away, soon turned around with excitement written all over his face.

To think, he had actually received personal guidance from Senior Qin.

This was something he had never even dreamed of!

The path of cultivation suddenly seemed much wider, such was the power of a role model!

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Qing had become an exemplar in the eyes of all the disciples at the Great Qian Martial Institute...
