Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 90 "Fierce Dragon Spear Technique

Qin Qing, carrying Xiao Shuang, returned to Autumn Water Villa with Jiang Ruorong.

When Qin Qing stepped into Autumn Water Villa, a host of familiar faces suddenly appeared before him.

His master Bai Qiuhe stood inside the gate of the villa, a warm smile on his face as he watched Qin Qing.

Behind them, Qin Yue, Gong Yanghe, Qin Tong, and others also stood smiling in the snow, looking at Qin Qing.

A warmth surged in Qin Qing’s heart at the sight of Bai Qiuhe.

Three months ago, what Bai Qiuhe had done for him, all had been seen by Qin Qing, especially Bai Qiuhe’s vow to the heavens: if Qin Qing were to meet any misfortunes, Bai Qiuhe would use every means possible to ensure that Shangguan Clan, Lin Family, and Guan Family would be left without descendants.

At that time... on Bai Qiuhe’s figure, Qin Qing seemed to see the shadow of his father.

Perhaps, apart from his father and mother, only his master Bai Qiuhe would go to such lengths to protect his charges, right?

"Master!"

Qin Qing stepped forward and gave Bai Qiuhe a respectful bow.

"Good, it’s good to have you back. From now on, focus on your cultivation!" Bai Qiuhe said with a cheery smile, looking very much like a kind father.

Afterward, Qin Qing also greeted his second uncle and seventh uncle.

"Qing, it’s all right now. From now on, cultivate well and don’t let Elder Bai down..." Qin Tong said with a smile.

"What’s this about letting down or not letting down..." Bai Qiuhe laughed and shook his head: "I believe that Qin Qing knows what to do. Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Qin Qing has just returned, and today we have prepared a lavish feast to welcome you back and dust off your journey!"

"Little Junior Brother! This is Master personally cooking for you... I’ve been with him so long, yet I’ve never been treated like this. This time I’m basking in your glory!" Jiang Ruorong said teasingly.

"Let’s start the meal..."

Everyone entered the inner courtyard, and gathered around a round table in the dining hall, where a variety of rich dishes were laid out: braised bear paws, steamed silver shad fish, precious spiritual ingredients, and fowls simmered into nourishing soups, and of course, the most popular item was the boiling hotpot bubbling away.

"Boss, we made a promise last time in Wind Spirit Valley Secret Realm. If we came out alive, we’d all get drunk together. Come, let’s all have a bowl now!" Gong Yanghe poured Qin Qing a full bowl and then lifted his own.

"Everyone join in!" Qin Qing said with a smile.

"Right! Everyone together!" Bai Qiuhe also said laughing.

Qin Tao, Qin Tong, and others also raised their bowls.

Their bowls clinked together before they all downed the contents in one go.

Winter days.

Outside, a world of ice and snow.

Inside the house, everyone was seated together, enjoying the hotpot, wolfing down meat, and downing large bowls of liquor to their heart’s content.

"Right, boss."

After several rounds of drinks, as everyone became slightly inebriated, Gong Yanghe said with a laugh, "Don’t forget, you promised me that thing?"

"What thing?" Qin Qing, who rarely drank, and even with his robust body, these weren’t ordinary drinks, so after seven or eight bowls, he was also slightly intoxicated.

"You forgot? It’s... it’s that you said you would take me there, to find the best... that, don’t you remember?" Gong Yanghe winked furiously.

Qin Qing shook his head to clear it, still not understanding what Gong Yanghe was getting at: "What are you talking about, why are you mumbling?"

Jiang Ruorong instantly understood what Gong Yanghe was implying. Raising an eyebrow, she turned to Gong Yanghe and said, "Gong Yanghe, my junior brother is pure and innocent, he doesn’t understand any of this. I’m warning you, don’t you dare lead him astray! Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!"

Upon hearing Jiang Ruorong’s words, Gong Yanghe immediately shrank his neck.

The other people in the room burst into hearty laughter following her remark.

After the meal.

Everyone dispersed on their own.

Qin Qing followed Bai Qiuhe to the practice room.

"Qin Qing, have you broken through again in these three months?"

As they entered the practice room, Bai Qiuhe turned around, looking at Qin Qing with surprise.

"Yes, disciple has broken through from the fourth level to the sixth level of the Soul Refinement Realm!" Qin Qing nodded, speaking the truth.

In front of Bai Qiuhe, Qin Qing felt there was no need to hide these things.

"Just as I thought..." Bai Qiuhe’s eyes lit up, "Qin Qing, your talent is so formidable it’s frightening! However, it seems you lack high-level martial arts techniques..."

"Yes!" Qin Qing nodded: "In the Qin Residence of Tianjue City, the highest martial arts technique is only of the Human Level Superior Grade. And they are not very suitable for me..."

On the Heavenly Mind Continent, martial arts techniques are ranked as Spirit, Heaven, Earth, and Human Levels, each divided into Superior, Middle, and Lower Grades.

Human Level is the lowest, while Spirit Level is the highest and most rare. In the Great Qian Dynasty, there are no Spirit Level techniques, and even Heaven Level techniques are pitifully scarce.

To have an Earth Level Technique is quite impressive for most of the hereditary families.

Only families like the Shangguan Clan might possess one or two Earth Level techniques, and they might still only be of inferior quality within the Earth Level.

There are rumors that the royal family of the current dynasty has a Superior Grade Earth Level Technique, which is the foundation that allows the Great Qian royal family to establish itself and endure.

"You are now a disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute. There might be some martial arts techniques suitable for you in the Scripture Pavilion, but with your current permissions, the techniques you can access are limited."

Bai Qiuhe looked at Qin Qing and continued, "However, your master has collected some decent martial arts techniques suitable for your current stage of cultivation. Now tell your master, what kind of martial arts technique you would like to cultivate."

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Qing said, "Master, I would like to practice swordsmanship or spear technique! However, I already have a sword technique, so if Master could get me a spear technique, that would be best."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuhe’s eyes initially shone, but then he slightly furrowed his brow. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Qin Qing, are you planning to cultivate both swordsmanship and spear technique?" Bai Qiuhe asked.

"Yes!" Qin Qing nodded, but seeing his master’s frown, he asked, "Master, is that not advisable?"

"It’s not that it’s impossible..." Bai Qiuhe pondered for a moment, "The path of martial arts demands undivided attention. I’ve heard it said that when choosing a weapon, it is best to focus on one type, and then dedicate oneself to that type, honing and mastering it... If you cultivate both swordsmanship and spear skills... I would suggest that you prioritize one, and treat the other as supplementary, or as a reserve."

"Undivided attention, huh?"

Qin Qing began to reflect.

A short while later, he said, "Master, your disciple understands your teachings, and will be mindful of them. If it turns out that spear technique and swordsmanship are indeed incompatible in the later stages of cultivation, your disciple will choose one over the other!"

"Good! I trust that you know what to do!" Bai Qiuhe nodded in approval and added, "Here, I have a spear technique that should suit you well—it’s called the ’Fierce Dragon Spear Technique’..."

"Fierce Dragon Spear Technique?"

Upon hearing the name, Qin Qing’s eyes brightened.
