Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 488 - 454: Wholeheartedly Convinced
"Senior Qin!"
"Senior Qin!"
The cheers were like a tsunami.
Countless adoring gazes fell on Qin Qing...
Qin Qing stood upon the battle platform, the center of everyone’s attention, like a dazzling sun.
And the more it was so, the stronger the fighting spirit of Ao Ye, his opponent, became.
Today, he would defeat their mythic hero right in front of everyone at the Wind-Fire Academy.
And he, Ao Ye, would become the new legend!
"Make your move!"
Ao Ye’s gaze was burning as he looked at Qin Qing.
The corner of Qin Qing’s mouth lifted slightly, and in the next breath, he stepped forward and struck a palm toward Ao Ye.
"Whoosh!"
Spiritual power surged instantaneously.
A terrifying pressure spread out immediately.
Disciples from the Wind-Fire Academy, who were somewhat close to the battle platform, held their breath in unison, afraid to even breathe too heavily.
Boom!
The void trembled.
The fearsome power seemed as if it would tear the void apart.
Qin Qing had used the Tablet Splitting Palm, and by now, he had cultivated this spell to Great Achievement, unleashing immensely terrifying power.
Ao Ye’s pupils narrowed.
"Interesting... but if that’s all your attack has to offer, then that’s truly disappointing!"
Ao Ye’s Blood-colored Mad Blade slashed through the air.
Cross Slash!
A blood-red cross appeared in mid-air, colliding head-on with the offensive of Qin Qing’s Tablet Splitting Palm.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion.
The void trembled violently.
Energy waves swept across, and spiritual power surged wildly.
But in a blink of an eye, everything returned to calm...
The clash between Qin Qing and Ao Ye didn’t determine the victor, and one could even say, there were no ripples caused.
"Hiss..."
Many people took a sharp breath of cold air.
They could all feel the terror of the collision, though on the surface, it appeared to be plain and lacking any spectacular scene.
Yet within the simple strikes, immense and horrifying power was contained.
If it had been an ordinary Martial Artist at the Preliminary Stage of the Golden Core Realm, they likely wouldn’t have lasted a single round under their assault.
After one strike, Ao Ye’s momentum grew even stronger, and the wildness in his eyes became even more pronounced.
"Hehe, Qin Qing, they extolled your prowess so much... is this really all you’ve got?"
Ao Ye took a step forward, this time he initiated the attack, with his Mad Blade slashing continuously in the air, Blade Qi crisscrossing to form a large net of Blade Qi, enveloping Qin Qing in an attack...
"At this point, you still haven’t used your Spirit Soldier?"
"But whether or not you use a Spirit Soldier, this blade will send you off the platform!"
Ao Ye was brimming with confidence, spiritual power burst forth around him, and his Martial Soul manifested as well.
His Martial Soul was a Blood Demon, entirely blood-red, as if flowing with fresh blood.
In an instant, a mist of blood enveloped the area.
The large net of Blade Qi in the air also turned into a blood-colored net in this moment!
"Tablet Splitting Palm, Eighth Palm, Sky-splitting Stele!"
Qin Qing roared, as spiritual power surged around him. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
At the same time, his Martial Soul manifested.
"Ao!"
Dragon Soul Manifestation!
An Azure Dragon soared through the void, its dragon might tremendous, as if a divine being had descended, exuding terrifying pressure.
The Dragon Soul was indeed a Dragon Soul. In this instant, the disciples of Wind-Fire Academy were in uproar. They had long heard that their Senior Qin, who had won fourteen battles in a row during the fights in Tianyong, defeating fourteen genius disciples of Tai’a Academy, possessed the Dragon Soul.
Many came in admiration, just to gaze upon Qin Qing’s Dragon Soul
And now, at this moment, they finally saw it with their own eyes.
Therefore, many people were extremely brand conscious at this moment, finally witnessing the soul of Senior Qin. What magnificent power would Senior Qin’s Dragon Soul unfurl? Changed. The collision of Spiritual Power exploded once again. Terrifying powers clashed in layers. Blood glows burst forth in the sky. The Blood Demon roared and bellowed, its bloody light soaring skywards and permeating the heavens.
And Qin Qing was shrouded in an azure glow, like Zhou Shen burning with the flame of youth. The Dragon Soul hovered above his head, constantly boiling and roaring in the void, and Dragon Might burst forth without end.
Qin Qing’s power also received a terrifying amplification.
He clapped his hands together, wave after wave of terrifying Spiritual Power!
"Boom!"
Finally, with a loud explosion,
Shockwaves spread out in layers.
Ao Ye was sent flying.
Flying out of the Wind-Fire Battle Platform.
In this battle, Qin Qing won!
However, Qin Qing stood on the Wind-Fire Battle Platform, his expression calm. In this battle, although he had won, Ao Ye’s strength was extraordinary.
Even one could say Ao Ye was very strong. Had it not been for Qin Qing’s breakthrough on his way back to Qian Country, elevating his Cultivation to the Golden Core Late Stage, he would not have been able to win this fight within two moves.
Ao Ye indeed had the capital to be arrogant; his strength was only stronger, not weaker, than that of Qin Qing who participated in the Tianyong Battle.
That is to say, if Qin Qing had fought Ao Ye now with the Cultivation and Realm he had during the Tianyong Battle, it’s not certain that he could have taken victory in this fight.
Following Ao Ye’s expulsion from the platform, all disciples of the Wind-Fire Academy were boiling with excitement.
"Senior Qin!"
"Senior Qin!"
"Senior Qin..."
...
One shout followed another, spreading out and forming a wave of sound that shot up to the sky,
The entire Wind-Fire Academy seemed to boil over at that moment, everyone converging around the Wind-Fire Battle Platform.
They were either eyewitnesses to Qin Qing securing victory in the battle or had received the news at the first moment and rushed over.
And now, the vast majority of disciples at the academy knew that Qin Qing had won this battle.
These past days, since Ao Ye joined the Wind-Fire Academy, he had been boastful and arrogant, declaring a challenge against Qing Qing!
This time, Qin Qing returned to the Wind-Fire Academy and finally fulfilled his request.
As a result, Qin Qing did not disappoint the disciples of the academy.
"You!"
Ao Ye stood up incredulously, looking at Qin Qing, his eyes filled with incomparable shock.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Ao Ye’s talent in martial arts shone exceedingly rare.
His peers had long been left far behind, and the geniuses he encountered were one by one bested under his feet. Coming to the Wind-Fire Academy this time, Ao Ye primarily aimed to cultivate in the Wind-Fire Tower but heard everyone praising Qin Qing within the academy.
So a desire for battle sprung forth in his heart, wishing to challenge Qin Qing.
However, this time, Qin Qing defeated him in just two moves.
Furthermore, it should be noted that Qin Qing hadn’t even employed his Spirit Soldier.
If Qin Qing had used his Spirit Soldier, unleashing his full power, he might have defeated Ao Ye in a single move.
"You’ve lost," Qin Qing said indifferently, looking down at Ao Ye.
On Ao Ye’s face, the reckless nonchalance was no longer there, replaced by shock and dismay.
"There are actually such geniuses in this world..."
Ao Ye had never tasted defeat after entering the world of martial arts; all talents were trampled under his feet, which is why he was so proud.
But this time, he had lost, and he was utterly convinced of his defeat.
"Alright. I’ve lost. A loss is a loss; there’s nothing more to say."
"You’re very powerful, more so than I imagined, stronger than any genius I have ever seen..."
"You are truly the number one disciple of the Wind-Fire Academy."
A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Qing’s face as he spoke with a playful tone, "Since I’m a disciple of the Wind-Fire Academy, shouldn’t you call me ’Senior Brother’?"
Ao Ye held no resentment as he bowed slightly towards Qin Qing and called out, "Ao Ye pays respect to Senior Brother Qin Qing."
"Senior Qin!"
Ao Ye looked at Qin Qing and continued, "I indeed lost to you this time. I’m heartily convinced, but next time, next time I will definitely defeat you!"
Confidence quickly returned to Ao Ye’s face, his gaze as fierce as his former arrogance.
Qin Qing smiled slightly, "Good."
This Ao Ye, although a bit ostentatious,
That’s just his nature; he meant no harm. It must be a natural disposition of a battle fanatic.
"Then I’ll wait for your next challenge," Qin Qing said, before jumping off the Wind-Fire Battle Platform.
"Good, next time, I will surely win!" Ao Ye proclaimed with full confidence.
