Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 376 - 358

"Cang Yuan... you actually know the name of my great-grandfather?" Cang Yuan looked at Qin Qing in surprise.

"You really are the descendant of senior Cang Qingzi!" Qin Qing couldn’t help but rejoice.

It was unexpected that his meeting with Cang Yuan was not just a case of fellow countrymen meeting in a foreign land, but also that there was this additional bond of fate.

"How come, Brother Qin, you know my great-grandfather?" Cang Yuan asked.

"Of course... Brother Cang Yuan," Qin Qing said with a smile: "I once discovered a cave dwelling in Tianjue Forest. That cave dwelling was left by your great-grandfather, and I received his legacy within it, including the Primordial Sword Technique!"

Qin Qing’s words made Cang Yuan’s eyes widen in astonishment.

"Is there really such a thing?"

"That’s really fateful..." Cang Yuan’s face showed an expression of disbelief, followed by a hearty laugh.

"I say... no wonder, why I felt such an immediate kinship with Brother Qin, it’s not just because we both come from Qian Country, but also because there is a deeper reason. Brother Qin, this is destiny!"

"Hahahaha..." Qin Qing also laughed heartily.

"Speaking of which, after the assessment ends, we must drink to our heart’s content, three hundred bowls, and no one can escape!" Cang Yuan pointed at Qin Qing.

"Definitely!" Qin Qing nodded as well.

"However... Brother Cang Yuan, we should still continue with the assessment now," Qin Qing added.

"Brother Qin, please continue. I’m afraid I’ve already reached my limit, just now the Primordial Sword Technique seemed to have made a breakthrough. I will stay here to continue comprehending the swordsmanship. Don’t wait for me..." Cang Yuan said.

Qin Qing nodded.

Cang Yuan managing to reach the Seventh Level had already qualified him to be a True Disciple of an Elder Jin Ying.

That was enough.

He could tell that Cang Yuan had indeed reached his limit.

Qin Qing continued forward, and just before reaching the Eighth Level, a moment of enlightenment appeared in his mind.

Sky-splitting Step Technique—Fourth Step, Falling Harmony!

Qin Qing felt that he had touched the threshold of the fourth step.

So Qin Qing didn’t continue upwards, before entering the Eighth Level, he stopped and began to contemplate the fourth step of the Sky-splitting Step Technique earnestly.

Meanwhile, outside the Wind-Fire Tower.

More and more people were paying attention to this assessment.

No one expected that this time, three disciples would pass the True Disciple assessment.

Even more so, that Liu Yuanhuai had already reached the Eighth Level!

Prodigy of the Liu Clan, some even said that Liu Yuanhuai was the most talented monster born in the Liu Clan in three hundred years.

From Liu Yuanhuai’s performance now, he lived up to this title.

"Yuan Huai, really not bad..." Zheng Meng’er looked at Liu Yuanhuai who had appeared on the Eighth Level and couldn’t help but nod.

"Qin Qing has already lost. He stopped at the entrance between the Seventh Level and the Eighth Level. It’s unknown whether he can even take this step," Liu Baiying said.

Zheng Meng’er nodded and said, "Even if he luckily enters the Eighth Level, it will still be after Yuan Huai has reached it. Moreover, it appears he has reached his limit and will not be able to challenge the Ninth Level. On the other hand, Yuan Huai does have the hope of reaching the Ninth Level!"

Just as the crowd outside the tower was busily discussing.

Qin Qing, who had his eyes closed sitting on the steps, suddenly opened them.

Done!

Sky-splitting Step Technique Fourth Step—Falling Harmony!

Qin Qing immediately stepped forward and entered the Eighth Level!

Liu Yuanhuai was on the stairs of the Eighth Level, attempting to climb towards the Ninth Level.

But—he found it to be extremely difficult!

The pressure in the Eighth Level not only intensified but also thunder continuously descended from the sky.

The Seventh Level was the Power of Wind.

And the Eighth Level was the Power of Thunder.

Liu Yuanhuai had an even stronger perception of the True Intention of Wind because the True Intention he condensed into his Golden Core included the attribute of wind.

This was also why he could ascend from the Seventh Level to the Eighth Level so quickly.

However, the Eighth Level was drastically different; the power of thunder and lightning descending from the sky made it extremely difficult for him to withstand, and the increased pressure made it hard for him to move.

It was at this moment that he saw Qin Qing appear on the Eighth Level.

"You—you’ve also reached the Eighth Level?" Liu Yuanhuai looked over at Qin Qing in surprise.

"Of course!" Qin Qing said with a sneer, "Our bet hasn’t concluded yet!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"So what?" Liu Yuanhuai scoffed, "I reached the Eighth Level before you. I’ve already won!"

"That may not be the case! What if I ascend to the Ninth Level?" Qin Qing glanced at Liu Yuanhuai and said.

"I don’t believe... I don’t believe you can reach the Ninth Level!" Liu Yuanhuai said.

"Then watch carefully!"

Having said this, Qin Qing started walking toward the stairs.

"Boom!"

The moment he stepped onto the staircase, a massive pressure suddenly descended upon him.

At the same time, the spiritual power around Qin Qing surged once again.

The Wind-Fire Tower’s assessment was incredibly complex, testing not only spiritual patterns and movement technique but also control of spiritual power, and most importantly, the ability to sustain spiritual power.

Inside the Wind-Fire Tower, spiritual power was consumed very rapidly.

Therefore, the examinees had to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the fastest speed while simultaneously refining it for their own use.

This was the capacity for sustainability, which could also be understood as an assessment of the most basic talent.

However, for Qin Qing, this was his greatest advantage!

The Dragon Blood Physique could store vast amounts of spiritual power, while the Emperor Dragon Secret Technique allowed him to absorb and refine the maximum amount of spiritual energy in the shortest time.

Therefore, Qin Qing almost never experienced a state of depletion of energy.

To him, this wasn’t a problem at all!

Qin Qing climbed step by step, drawing closer to Liu Yuanhuai, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had already reached the same position as Liu Yuanhuai.

As he passed by Liu Yuanhuai, Qin Qing merely glanced at him indifferently and continued moving forward.

"Hmm?"

Liu Yuanhuai couldn’t help but freeze on the spot. As Qin Qing passed by, he heard a mysterious sound echoing around Qin Qing.

That sound was like the music of the Great Dao!

It contained extremely mysterious and complex truths.

This was the Sky-splitting Step Technique, the fourth step - Heavenly Melody Falls.

With the fourth step taken, the Heavenly Melody Falls. After the Heavenly Ladder appeared, waves of resounding Heavenly Melodies were born from the void, echoing incessantly in the sky, carrying dread and the majesty of the heavens, as if an Ancient God was whispering, embodying some kind of mysterious Great Dao Divine Power.

Qin Qing, holding the Azure Dragon Spear, confronted the thunder and lightning.

He wasn’t afraid of the thunder and lightning.

His Martial Soul even had an affinity for thunder and lightning.

Qin Qing continuously struck down bolts of thunder; his speed was even faster than it had been on the Seventh Level.

Before long, Qin Qing ascended to the Ninth Level!

Suddenly, the exterior of the Wind-Fire Tower boiled over again!

To reach the top of the Wind-Fire Tower was something no one from Tai’a Academy had achieved in ten years!

And yet, Qin Qing had done it!

Instantly, countless people started inquiring about this disciple who had reached the top— who he was and from which ancient and powerful force he came.

It seemed as though everyone was witnessing the emergence of a genius capable of dominating an era...
