Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 20 Unable to Awaken Martial Soul?

Mu Yunlan shuddered all over.

Just moments ago, she was in the throes of extreme shock.

Originally, with her Eight Stars Spiritual Energy Affinity and Seventh Stars talent in cultivation, she had plenty to be proud of.

But unexpectedly, Qin Qing turned out to have a dual Nine Stars talent!

"Well? You lowly slave, do you still want me to kneel and beg you?"

Qin Qing’s voice, like a thunderclap, woke Mu Yunlan from her shock.

"How... How can this be?" Mu Yunlan’s pupils dilated, her eyes filled with incredulity.

Meanwhile, on the high platform, the elders from various martial institutes were conveying their eagerness to recruit Qin Qing at this moment.

"Qin Qing! The conditions we Yuanling Martial Institute previously promised to Mu Yunlan apply to you as well. Moreover, I guarantee that at any stage of your cultivation, you will absolutely not lack any elixirs. Our Yuanling Martial Institute specializes in elixir making, and you can rest assured of that..."

The elder from the Yuanling Martial Institute was the first to speak up.

The elder from Cangyun Academy immediately followed, saying, "Qin Qing, our Cangyun Academy can relocate the Qin Residence inside the imperial city, in a bustling area, and build a large mansion for you. All your relatives and friends will be under the protection of our academy. In addition, all the resources of our academy are at your disposal; you can freely choose any tutor to follow for cultivation, and there is no problem even if you choose to be taught by multiple tutors at the same time..."

As soon as the Cangyun Academy’s elder finished speaking, Qin Wujian was dumbstruck.

He had always targeted Qin Qing and favored and protected Qin Lie, precisely because he had pinned his hopes on Qin Lie, hoping that the Qin Residence could rise because of him.

However, now, even before Qin Qing had joined the Cangyun Academy, the academy promised to protect the entire Qin Family and even help them relocate to the imperial city!

For the Qin Residence to establish itself in the imperial city was something Qin Wujian had dreamt of.

"Qin Qing, agree to them. I was wrong before, and I am willing to apologize to you for anything I have done to you!" Qin Wujian shouted loudly to Qin Qing: "From now on, you are still the Young Master of the Qin Residence. No... the new head of Qin Residence, you will be the new leader!"

Upon hearing Qin Wujian’s words, both Qin Lie and Qin Zhen’s expressions turned unpleasant.

The other members of the Qin Family, who were originally on Qin Zhen’s side, also understood that in the end, Qin Zhen had still lost to Qin Yi’s son...

"Qin Qing. Join our Tianwu Martial Institute. I promise you that we at Tianwu Martial Institute can fulfill all the conditions offered by the other martial institutes. In addition, we can give the Qin Family ten thousand spirit stones, various types of elixirs, cultivation manuals; the specifics can be discussed..."

These words from the elder of the Tianwu Martial Institute made Qin Wujian tremble again.

All of this would belong to the Qin Residence had Qin Qing simply nodded in agreement.

If... if he, Qin Wujian, had treated Qin Qing properly from the beginning, without any partiality, then Qin Qing would probably have listened to him and accepted these conditions, right?

But now...

Qin Wujian felt helplessly bitter in his heart, as a strong sense of regret spread within him.

"Qin Qing!"

And at this moment, Bai Qiuhe also spoke up.

"I, from the Great Qian Martial Institute’s West Courtyard, invite you to join us... Would you be willing?"

Bai Qiuhe didn’t make any promises, but there was confidence in his eyes.

He knew that Qin Qing would surely abide by their agreement and join the Great Qian Martial Institute, becoming his disciple.

Because he knew, Qin Qing was just like his father!

Facing Bai Qiuhe, who was smiling at him, Qin Qing also smiled back: "Senior Bai, Qin Qing is willing to join the West Courtyard of the Great Qian Martial Institute!"

Afterward, Qin Qing bowed to the elders of the various martial institutes, saying:

"I am flattered by the gracious invitations of the seniors from all the martial institutes, and I am deeply honored. However, I had already decided to join the Great Qian Martial Institute. As for the affection and desire for talent shown by all the seniors today, I shall remember it always!"

Qin Qing’s statement was neither humble nor arrogant, neither rushed nor dragging.

This caused the elders of the various martial institutes to nod slightly in appreciation.

This Qin Qing had grace and politeness, and did not show any arrogance despite his supreme talent.

It is rare for such a young genius to have this kind of temperament.

Compared to Mu Yunlan, he was far superior.

Even though they were rejected by Qin Qing, the elders from the martial institutes did not resent it; on the contrary, they hoped to see Qin Qing grow and rise, and possibly become a beacon for the Great Qian Empire.

At that moment, Qin Qing’s gaze once again swept towards Mu Yunlan.

"Mu Yunlan, remember what I said before, that I wouldn’t let you be my slave? Do you understand why now?"

"Because you’re not qualified!"

Mu Yunlan’s delicate body trembled once again.

This sentence was like a resounding slap, harshly striking Mu Yunlan’s face.

To be a slave, not qualified?

If it were anyone else who said this, they would surely be a laughingstock.

But when Qin Qing said it, it was completely justified!

"No..."

Mu Yunlan’s face turned ugly, even somewhat distorted.

She couldn’t accept the identity of a slave.

Having spent so many years as a slave, she had exhausted every scheme to free herself.

Originally today, she wanted to prove to everyone that she, Mu Yunlan, could defy fate and change her destiny, and that Qin Qing, the waste of the Qin Residence, wasn’t worthy of her, a daughter of heaven.

She also wanted Qin Qing to realize just how ridiculous his childish pride and stubbornness were.

She wanted to make it so that Qin Qing could never hold his head high again...

But could the result really be this?

The talent and disposition that Qin Qing revealed, everything, completely crushed her.

Instead, she, Mu Yunlan, had become the laughingstock of Tianjue City!

"No!"

Mu Yunlan was unwilling to accept this.

"Qin Qing!"

She coldly looked at Qin Qing, "You, unable to awaken your Martial Soul!"

"Even if your Spiritual Energy Affinity is excellent and your cultivation talent is outstanding, what of it?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"You are from the Abandoned Soul Palace, unable to awaken your Martial Soul, so even if your talent is outstanding, it is all in vain!"

Mu Yunlan’s words suddenly made everyone tremble.

Right.

Qin Qing was unable to awaken his Martial Soul.

What use is his talent then?

Being unable to awaken his Martial Soul means that the path of Martial Arts for him was cut off for life!

"Qin Qing, I seem to have heard before that you have been Tempering your Soul Palace for three years?" Guan Hao suddenly stood up and asked.

"Yes!" Qin Lie excitedly answered, "That’s right, this waste has indeed been Tempering his Soul Palace for three full years!"

"Such a pity, truly a pity!" Guan Hao said regretfully, but his face bore a trace of a cold smile, "If it had been less than three years, then entering our Great Qian Martial Institute and undergoing the Soul Palace baptism, there would’ve been a great hope for awakening your Martial Soul! This is also why we recruit disciples below the age of sixteen without requiring the awakening of Martial Souls."

"But I didn’t expect that you’ve been Tempering your Soul Palace for three full years! This means that even if you undergo our Martial Institute’s Soul Palace baptism, you are already unable to awaken your Martial Soul!"

"This cannot change the fact that you are a waste!"

Qin Zhen also laughed loudly, "Qin Qing, you no longer possess the conditions to awaken your Martial Soul. Do you think the major Martial Institutes will still take you as a disciple?"

"Qin Qing. You waste, with only Spiritual Energy Affinity and cultivation talent, yet unable to awaken your Martial Soul. And you still think to compare yourself with my daughter?" Mu Hongtu also spoke out in mockery.

Only Bai Qiuhe and Jiang Ruorong on the stage remained unchanged in expression; they alone knew that this youth was not merely from the Abandoned Soul Palace. On the contrary, his Martial Soul was powerful enough to shake the whole Great Qian Empire, and even the entire Heavenly Mind Continent...

Qin Qing’s gaze swept over each person around him, observing every face with its differing expressions.

In the end, it landed on Mu Yunlan.

A sharp edge suddenly curved up at the corner of his mouth.

"You mock me as a waste? Believe that I have no Martial Soul?"

"Then all of you, open your eyes wide and watch closely!"

Qin Qing’s voice was nearly hoarse with effort as he shouted.

At the same time, the aura around him abruptly changed; the entire world seemed to vibrate with it...
