Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 23 Meeting the Teacher and Student Ceremony

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Meeting the Teacher and Student Ceremony

With a command from Shangguan Hai, hundreds of Mansion Soldiers from the Martial Arts Ground converged on Qin Qing’s position.

Outside the Martial Arts Ground, even more Mansion Soldiers, numbering in the thousands, stood ready in strict formation.

Considering this setup, it wasn’t just Qin Qing, but likely not even a fly could escape from Tianjue City.

"Wow..."

Little Frost immediately burst into tears.

"Brother, you can’t let them catch my brother!" Little Frost cried out, her face filled with fear and panic, eliciting pity from anyone who saw her.

"Little Frost, I’m fine, don’t cry!" Qin Qing whispered to console her.

A dozen Mansion Soldiers had already rushed over, their long halberds pointed at Qin Qing.

"Kneel down and surrender!" one of the leading Mansion Soldiers yelled angrily.

"Get lost!"

Bai Qiuhe, however, roared in anger, stepping in front of Qin Qing. With a wave of his hand, the dozen soldiers who were at the forefront were all sent flying backward.

"Bai Qiuhe, what do you think you’re doing? Hurting my soldiers, are you trying to defy the Imperial Court?" Shangguan Hai barked furiously.

"City Lord Shangguan, Qin Qing is my disciple!" Bai Qiuhe replied coldly, his gaze fixed on Shangguan Hai.

"So what? Now, I am going to capture him. Do you dare to openly defy the law? Do you believe that if I send a Flying Message to the imperial city, by tomorrow you’ll become the Great Qian Dynasty’s most wanted fugitive?" Shangguan Hai said coldly.

Bai Qiuhe’s eyes flickered, "City Lord Shangguan, don’t threaten me. The Great Qian Martial Institute will certainly have its judgment. That kind of accusation is not something you can levy so casually!"

As the Great Qian Dynasty was established, there were several founding heroes who had joined the founding king in starting the empire, and among these heroes, a few played a very critical role, establishing the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Since the beginning of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Martial Institute had special privileges.

Over the course of several thousand years, the Martial Institute has nurtured countless disciples, and these disciples hold control over many vital departments within the Great Qian Dynasty.

Therefore, even though the Shangguan Clan had a member serving as Prime Minister in the Imperial Court, it was not easy to convict a major elder of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In terms of rules, there had to be an internal review by the Martial Institute itself first, and only after the review confirmed the allegations could the Great Qian Dynasty formally convict the person.

These were the rules established between the Great Qian Dynasty and the Martial Institute over the years.

Moreover, within the Martial Institute, there were many top-tier powerhouses stationed.

In terms of the scale and number of powerhouses, it was not less than the number of powerhouses within the Imperial Palace.

As such, if the royal family really wished to act against the Martial Institute, they would have to consider it carefully.

"Bai Qiuhe, are you sure you want to do this?" Shangguan Hai’s eyes seethed with anger.

"City Lord Shangguan, I have only one request: allow Qin Qing and me to be alone for an hour. After an hour, I will no longer intervene in matters concerning Qin Qing," Bai Qiuhe said.

Shangguan Hai’s eyes flickered, and after a moment of thought, he replied, "At most half an hour. If that doesn’t work for you, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Fine!" Bai Qiuhe agreed immediately, as if he had anticipated Shangguan Hai would not grant them a full hour.

Following that, Qin Qing followed Bai Qiuhe to a secret chamber behind the Martial Arts Ground.

"Qin Qing, listen to me."

Upon entering the secret chamber, Bai Qiuhe spoke at once, "I am about to impart a Secret Technique to you, as well as a Secret Treasure!"

"You must understand the Secret Technique within a quarter of an hour and also master the use of the Secret Treasure!"

"Shangguan Hai said he would give you half an hour, but knowing him, he won’t give you that long! So, you have at most a quarter of an hour, understand?"

"Master, I understand!" Qin Qing replied promptly.

"Good! Now, I’ll tell you the Secret Technique!" Bai Qiuhe then recited a series of incantations for the Secret Technique.

Qin Qing listened intently, memorizing it in his heart.

"Have you got it?" Bai Qiuhe asked.

"Mm!" Qin Qing nodded. "Disciple has remembered!"

The Secret Technique was not simple, in fact, some parts were extremely abstruse, but with Qin Qing’s talent, he still managed to remember it after hearing it just once.

"Also, take this Jade Slip!" Bai Qiuhe took out a milky-white Jade Slip from his body, "This Secret Treasure, consider it as your teacher’s gift for accepting you as a disciple..."

Bai Qiuhe let out a wry smile.

"This Secret Treasure, once you comprehend the Jade Slip I just mentioned, I will transmit to you the method to use it. Only with this Jade Slip will you be able to escape from Tianjue City!"

"Now, begin!"

Before Bai Qiuhe had finished speaking, Qin Qing had already started cultivating.

He knew time was of the essence, and Bai Qiuhe imparting him the Secret Technique and Secret Treasure at this moment was his only hope for survival.

Bai Qiuhe silently watched Qin Qing, who was focused on his cultivation, actually feeling more nervous than his newly accepted disciple at this time.

Because he was acutely aware that Qin Qing was, in reality, teetering between life and death.

In the space of two hours, whether he could comprehend this Secret Technique was uncertain.

For an ordinary disciple of the Great Qian Martial Institute, truly comprehending this Secret Technique would probably take at least half a month or even longer, and if the talent was average, three to five months would also be normal.

However, Bai Qiuhe also knew that Qin Qing’s talent was far beyond that of other ordinary disciples.

This was why Bai Qiuhe hoped that Qin Qing could comprehend the Secret Technique within a quarter of an hour...

"Boom!"

About a quarter of an hour had passed.

It was at this moment that a violent aura suddenly erupted from Qin Qing’s body!

Bai Qiuhe’s eyes lit up, he knew that Qin Qing had succeeded!

Indeed, Qin Qing opened his eyes.

"Master, your disciple has comprehended the Blood Burning Secret Technique. It’s just that I might still be somewhat unskilled!" Qin Qing said.

"You’ve done very well!" Praise filled Bai Qiuhe’s eyes. Just from this one-time comprehension of the Secret Technique, he could confirm that Qin Qing was definitely the most talented disciple he had accepted in his lifetime, without exception.

No.

It wasn’t just among disciples, but among all the people Bai Qiuhe had met, including some who now held very high positions with incredibly strong cultivation, none had talent that could compare to Qin Qing.

As long as Qin Qing was given enough time, he would certainly become an extremely powerful individual.

It was just a pity that his newly accepted disciple might not survive the impending danger...

Bai Qiuhe’s mind was filled with thoughts, but he soon calmed down and said:

"Good. Qin Qing. Remember, after deploying this Secret Technique, there will be a significant backlash, and as your cultivation increases, the effect of this Secret Technique will become greater, and the terrible backlash will also intensify!"

"Moreover, if you push the Blood Burning Secret Technique to its limit and activate the Jade Slip, you may momentarily possess the ability of a Golden Core Realm True Person."

"At that time, that will be your only chance to escape Tianjue City. Remember, you must act quickly! Don’t let Shangguan Hai activate the City Protecting Great Formation. If he activates the City Protecting Great Formation, you will have no hope of escaping anymore..."

Qin Qing nodded slightly, pondering, "Master, must your disciple really flee?"

"Of course! I understand Shangguan Hai all too well. If you don’t flee and fall into his hands, you won’t have any hope of survival."

"Only by choosing to flee will there be a glimmer of hope for life!"

Qin Qing nodded heavily.

"Clang!"

Just then, the door to the secret chamber was suddenly kicked open.

"Qin Qing, time’s up, get out here!" Shangguan Xuan stood outside the door, shouting coldly.
