Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 369 - 351 Fight a Battle

No one believed that a person from a small place like Qian Country could possibly be discussed in the same breath as the geniuses from the Liu Clan.

The talents of these geniuses from the Liu Clan, their resources, it could be said that they were the most superior in the whole Tai’a Ancient Country, even throughout the entire Heavenly Mind Continent.

In their perception, there was a pervasive disdain for martial cultivators from smaller regions.

Take Tai’a Academy, for instance, the most renowned Martial Institute on the Heavenly Mind Continent, where almost every disciple recruited each year was a young person from Tai’a Ancient Country, and many were even from the powerful ancient forces.

Of course, every year, countless young talents from neighboring smaller nations poured into Tai’a Ancient Country, hoping to join the Martial Institutes there.

But the number who could actually be selected was very few.

Even if a small portion managed to get selected, their light was completely overshadowed.

Only the young geniuses that were the pride of Tai’a Ancient Country could truly exhibit their dazzling brilliance in the competition...

So... over time, martial artists from Tai’a Ancient Country grew increasingly contemptuous of the so-called talents from the smaller nations.

That’s why, when the young members of the Liu Clan heard that Qin Qing from Qian Country wanted to participate in the Tai’a Academy’s disciple selection, they all let out mocking laughter.

"Brother, these people are so full of themselves. Why do they think you can’t be chosen by Tai’a Academy?" Qin Shuang grumbled, clearly dissatisfied.

"Heh heh..." Qin Qing chuckled, his tone indifferent, "Sister, being full of themselves is their prerogative. What we need to do is to slap their faces with the facts, that’s enough!"

"Silence!"

Master Chen spoke up at that moment, interrupting everyone’s chatter.

His gaze swept over Qin Qing, but he did not linger too long.

Perhaps Master Chen didn’t hold out much hope for this young man from Qian Country either...

"All those participating in the assessment, step forward and line up in a single file!"

When Master Chen’s words fell, Liu Zhenglu and the others all stepped forward.

"Sister, wait for me at the side..." Qin Qing softly said to Xiao Shuang.

"Xiao Shuang, come here to Sister Hongxue!" Liu Hongxue pulled Xiao Shuang over.

Qin Qing then walked over and lined up with the many young talents from the Liu Clan.

Just as Qin Qing and the other two had just joined the line, Master Chen suddenly waved his hand.

In his hand, a burst of violent power suddenly erupted, sweeping toward Qin Qing and the others...

Qin Qing quickly circulated his spiritual power, his legs bracing hard, rooted to the spot like an old pine tree!

But among the bright and clean young members of the Liu Clan, eight were caught off guard and were directly toppled over by this force.

"All of you... are eliminated!" Master Chen waved his hand towards those eight people.

The eight of them were stunned.

"Master Chen, we weren’t even ready. This doesn’t count as an assessment," someone protested, feeling it was unfair.

He believed that they had not been ready when Master Chen suddenly started the assessment.

Master Chen snorted coldly and replied, "Not ready?"

"In reality, would your enemy give you any chance to prepare? You must always be aware of potential crises!"

"From the beginning, I saw all of you laughing and chatting, already not taking things seriously. You weren’t prepared and still blame me for not reminding you?"

"Would you also blame your enemy for not reminding you to be ready if they were to kill you one day?"

Master Chen’s voice was very cold, and his expression serious.

Immediately, the Liu Clan member who had spoken up dropped his head.

The other seven could only walk away with disgruntled expressions.

They had been eliminated, missing this opportunity!

Qin Qing stood where he was, nodding silently, agreeing with Master Chen’s words.

If one day an enemy wanted to kill you, would they remind you to be prepared?

Liu Zhenglu stood not far from Qin Qing and saw that he hadn’t been eliminated. There was a slight look of surprise, but it wasn’t a big deal because the force Master Chen had wielded with that hand gesture wasn’t very strong.

It mainly caught those eight people off guard, which was why they were eliminated.

So, in Liu Zhenglu’s opinion, Qin Qing, a young man from a small place like Qian Country, must especially cherish such chances, and therefore was extra cautious, managing to avoid being inadvertently swept away by Master Chen.

However, the next assessment wouldn’t be so simple, Liu Zhenglu thought as he waited to see Qin Qing eliminated.

"Boom!"

At this very moment.

Elder Feng suddenly made his move without warning.

Just like before, he waved his hand in the same manner.

His sweeping sleeve seemed casual, but the force that burst forth from his cuff in an instant was no less formidable than a terrifying hurricane.

Moreover, the power of this hurricane instantly concentrated and swept toward the remaining seven individuals. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Qin Qing was shocked and quickly channeled his Spiritual Power, using it to reinforce his entire body and resist the relentless force beating down on him.

The others did the same, instantly feeling the pressure multiply and hastily deploying their methods to counteract this force.

This force was not transient but persisted continuously.

And, the strength kept increasing.

About a dozen breaths later, two individuals were sent flying out.

A moment later, two more could no longer hold on and were pushed out more than thirty feet away...

Now, only three individuals remained in the arena: Qin Qing, Liu Zhenglu, and another young woman.

By this time, the younger generation of the Liu Clan began to look at Qin Qing differently.

Those who had received the opportunity for this additional selection were the outstanding talents among the Liu Clan’s younger generation of the year, yet most had been eliminated in the assessment just now.

Yet, this youth from Qian Country had persisted until now!

Just then, suddenly, a vigorous aura burst forth from Elder Feng, a powerful oppressive force.

Similar to a Divine Sense assault.

Just like four days ago when Liu Chaoxian had used Divine Sense suppression on Qin Qing!

Soon among the three, the young woman’s face was the first to show signs of pain.

As for Qin Qing and Liu Zhenglu, they seemed to be largely unaffected.

So...after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the young woman finally could no longer hold on, voluntarily gave up, and moved aside, her complexion already pale, with sweat beads continuously emerging on her forehead.

Now, only Qin Qing and Liu Zhenglu were left.

"Now only Liu Zhenglu and Qin Qing are left, let’s see who among them can persist until the end..." Liu Hongxue murmured quietly.

"This Qin Qing, indeed keeps surprising me," Master Chen said with a smile, standing beside Liu Hongxue. "I have watched Liu Zhenglu grow up, extraordinary in talent since he was little and cultivated with countless resources from the Liu Clan... But this Qin Qing, coming from Qian Country, doesn’t have comparable conditions to Liu Zhenglu, and yet, he doesn’t seem a bit inferior to Liu Zhenglu now."

Liu Hongxue nodded in agreement.

"Liu Zhenglu has cultivated our Liu Clan’s unique skills, so his Divine Sense Power is very strong. Elder Feng’s Divine Sense oppression doesn’t affect him much," said Liu Hongxue.

At this time, Elder Feng stopped his assault.

"Both of you have done well!" Elder Feng said to Qin Qing and Liu Zhenglu.

Qin Qing and Liu Zhenglu exchanged glances.

"Elder Feng, I find it beneath me to be compared with this person," Liu Zhenglu said, pointing toward Qin Qing.

Qin Qing smiled wryly, saying nothing.

In fact, he held the same opinion in his heart.

As for the other young members of the Liu Clan, by now no one dared to mock Qin Qing any longer.

Before, each of them had openly scorned and looked down on Qin Qing, because deep down they despised this barbarian from Qian Country.

But now, the strength displayed by Qin Qing was clearly above theirs.

If anyone still spoke mockingly of Qin Qing, wouldn’t they be slapping their own faces?

It’s just like what Qin Qing had said to little Shuang before, for these self-righteous folks, a slap in the face with facts is the best response.

"Elder Feng, since both individuals are formidable, is it possible to select them both for Tai’a Academy?" one of the elders from the Liu Clan asked.

"Hehe..." Elder Feng chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping over Qin Qing and Liu Zhenglu, and said, "It seems neither of them accepts the other. How about this: the two of you fight it out. The loser gets eliminated, and the winner enters Tai’a Academy!"
