Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 377 - 359: Examination Invalid?

Liu Baiying and Zheng Meng’er were both watching the interior of the Wind-Fire Tower in astonishment at this moment.

"He... that barbarian, actually reached the Ninth Level?" Liu Baiying murmured in a low voice.

Little Frost had tears of excitement streaming down her face; she clenched her fists tightly together, gazing at the silhouette inside the Wind-Fire Tower, feeling waves of pride welling up inside her.

This was her brother! Her eternal pride!

Liu Yuan Huai was the closest one, personally witnessing Qin Qing ascend to the Ninth Level.

The moment Qin Qing reached the Ninth Level, the breath Liu Yuan Huai had been holding seemed to dissipate in an instant.

He had reached his limit.

Originally, he might have attempted to break through his limit.

But having personally seen Qin Qing reach the Ninth Level, the last bit of hope in his heart had deflated.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down.

Liu Yuan Huai closed his eyes, leapt with all his might, and jumped down the staircase.

He knew he had no possibility of persisting any longer!

Liu Yuan Huai walked out of the Wind-Fire Tower with a downcast expression.

He had lost...

Lost to a barbarian he originally didn’t even take seriously.

"Yuan Huai!" Liu Baiying saw Liu Yuan Huai’s downcast look and came over to comfort him, "You did very well. You must know that for the past three years, no one from Tai’a Academy has been able to reach the Seventh Level, yet you made it to the Eighth Level!"

"Yes, Liu Yuan Huai, reaching the Seventh Level is enough to qualify for a Golden Seal Elder’s discipleship. Having reached the Eighth Level, surely many Golden Seal Elders will wish to take you as their disciple," Zheng Meng’er also said.

"But, I lost to him!" Liu Yuan Huai turned his head and looked towards the Wind-Fire Tower.

There, on the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower, the figure of Qin Qing was clearly visible.

"That barbarian??" Zheng Meng’er scoffed, saying, "He has merely cheated, you shouldn’t take it to heart!"

"Cheated?" Liu Yuan Huai was taken aback.

"Exactly, just you wait and see. Someone from Tai’a Academy will come out and expose him! How could a lowly wretch from a barbaric land like Qian Country possibly ascend to the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower?" Zheng Meng’er added.

Liu Yuan Huai frowned and said no more.

And in the meantime, more and more people had gathered around.

There were disciples from Tai’a Academy who had come to inquire, as well as many elders.

Even six Golden Seal Elders had arrived on the scene.

"Which academy is this disciple from inside the tower, and what is his name?" one of the Golden Seal Elders asked the elder who had previously activated the Wind-Fire Tower.

"His name is Qin Qing. According to the registration information, he is not a native of Tai’a Ancient Country, but comes from Qian Country."

"From Qian Country?" Upon hearing this, the Golden Seal Elder showed a rather surprised look.

Everyone else around was also astounded.

A person from Qian Country, actually managed to reach the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower?

How could this be possible?

In the subconscious minds of everyone present, the Martial Cultivators of Qian Country were thought to be less talented, with poor foundations.

It seemed impossible for even reaching the Seventh Level, let alone the Ninth Level.

"What about Qian Country?"

At that moment, Cang Yuan, who had come out of the Wind-Fire Tower, heard these people’s conversation and spoke up indignantly.

"I am a person from Qian Country, and I also reached the Seventh Level of the Wind-Fire Tower, so what?"

"You people, always labeling the remote regions as barbaric lands, calling us barbarians. Fine, if I am what you call a barbarian, and I have reached the Seventh Level, which of you here can reach the Seventh Level?"

"If none of you can, doesn’t that mean you are even less than barbarians?"

Cang Yuan’s words left the surrounding disciples of Tai’a Academy speechless, without a word in reply.

And then one of the elders laughed, nodded, and said, "This disciple speaks the truth. A hero is not judged by their origin. To call martial artists from these remote regions barbarians is indeed inappropriate. They simply don’t have the same cultivation resources as our ancient country, but there are still many geniuses among them."

The elder looked at Cang Yuan and added, "Young disciple, are you interested in becoming a disciple under Cang Lang, the Martial Saint?"

At this point, all the surrounding disciples were shocked.

Cang Lang, the Martial Saint!

To be called a Martial Saint, one must undoubtedly possess transcendent and saintly prowess!

Only a Martial Saint in the Cataclysmic Realm could be addressed as such.

Moreover, the name of Cang Lang, the Martial Saint, was naturally known to everyone in Tai’a Academy, even though very few had actually met him in person.

Out of the eighteen Golden Seal Elders, not all of them were Martial Saints.

Only seven among these eighteen Golden Seal Elders were indeed Martial Saints.

And Cang Lang, the Martial Saint, was one of them!

Cang Yuan looked at Cang Lang, the Martial Saint; he had long heard of the elder’s renowned name and was immediately overjoyed, nodding repeatedly: "Willing, of course willing! It is Cang Yuan’s tremendous good fortune to become a disciple under master!"

...

On the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower.

As soon as Qin Qing entered the Ninth Level, he felt the pervasive Power of Fire.

Yes!

It was the Power of Fire, the omnipresent Power of Fire Essence!

"The Seventh Level has the Power of Wind!"

"The Eighth Level, the Power of thunder and lightning!"

"And this Ninth Level is the power of flames!"

Qin Qing closed his eyes in silence.

Of the power of flames, he was the least afraid.

"The flame power here is extremely pure, perfect for refinement and absorption!"

Qin Qing’s Martial Soul manifested itself.

The Dragon Ball floated above his head in the void, drifting unevenly.

At the same time, around him, all the flames gathered toward him, and the essence of these flames was continuously absorbed by his Martial Soul...

Then, the absorbed power flowed into the Soul Palace and through Qin Qing’s limbs and bones, into each and every tendon and bone...

"Humming..."

At this moment, the surrounding void began to tremble.

Subsequently, the entire Wind-Fire Tower seemed to vibrate at the same frequency.

Qin Qing’s Soul Palace appeared to form a mysterious resonance with this Wind-Fire Tower...

Following this, Qin Qing felt the sound of barriers breaking inside him.

Spiritual Power burst forth in an instant!

Gang Patterns interwove, with True Intention circulating faintly amidst them.

Divine Might Realm Nine Level!

Qin Qing opened his eyes, and at that instant, his aura reached an unprecedented height.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a Dragon’s Chant erupted from within the Wind-Fire Tower.

At the same time, a blue column of fire sprung up toward the heavens, rushing towards the firmament...

The sky seemed to be ignited by fire in an instant, the blue flames spread out in the air, forming a cloud of blue fire.

These fire clouds kept changing, and after a moment, they seemed to form an azure Divine Dragon soaring through the nine heavens.

Everyone was drawn to this sudden, extraordinary phenomenon.

"What happened?"

"Why are there natural phenomena occurring?"

"There seem to be blue flames burning in the sky, these blue flames, do they look like a dragon?"

At the same time.

Thousands of miles away from Tai’a Academy, in the lands where Wind-Fire Academy was located,

a one-eyed elder was originally in closed-door cultivation.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped cultivating and looked towards the distant horizon in the direction of Tai’a Academy.

"Dragon Flame illuminating the heavens?"

"The rumors are actually true!"

"If one encounters that legendary existence, Wind-Fire Tower will trigger a phenomenon, Dragon Flame illuminating the heavens! Who exactly is this person?"

The one-eyed elder stepped out and disappeared into thin air...

...

Inside the Wind-Fire Tower.

Qin Qing slowly exhaled.

His gaze once again surveyed his surroundings, and the originally violent flames seemed to have quieted down at this moment.

Even Qin Qing seemed to have the illusion that all the flames were under his control.

With just a mere thought, all the flames could be used by him.

"I always feel that this Wind-Fire Tower seems familiar... Moreover, this Wind-Fire Tower is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface."

However, these were just Qin Qing’s speculations at the moment, and as to what it actually was, he had no way of knowing right now, nor the heart to guess, because he had already seen his sister who had been waiting outside the Wind-Fire Tower for a long time, her face showing an extremely painful expression.

"Not good, Xiaoshuang’s Fire Disease is acting up!"

Qin Qing hurriedly walked out of the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower, leaping down and arriving in front of Xiaoshuang under the gaze of countless eyes.

Seeing Qin Qing, Xiaoshuang managed to squeeze out a smile on her pained face...

"Brother..." Xiaoshuang whispered, but the next moment, she swayed and fell backwards!

"Little sister!" Qin Qing quickly caught Xiaoshuang: "Little sister, you’re going to be okay!"

"Brother Qin!" Cang Yuan also rushed over at this time, "What happened?"

"My little sister suffers from Fire Disease, and now it has flared up. I need to find a Pharmacist from Tai’a Academy to treat my sister!" Qin Qing said as his gaze swept around.

At this moment, several Elder Jin Yings from Tai’a Academy walked towards Qin Qing.

"Brother Qin, these are the Elder Jin Yings of Tai’a Academy, this is my master Elder Cang Lang, with them here, rest assured, your sister’s Fire Disease will definitely be cured," Cang Yuan said.

Qin Qing nodded, looking towards the approaching Elder Jin Yings.

"Elders, I am Qin Qing. I just ascended to the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower. I heard that as long as one becomes a True Disciple of Tai’a Academy, one can ask a Pharmacist from Tai’a Academy to treat illnesses."

"I wonder which Elder is willing to take Qin Qing as a disciple?" Qin Qing looked earnestly at the elders.

At this time, the elders were also looking at Qin Qing with keen interest.

Qin Qing’s ability to ascend to the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower was naturally beyond doubt in terms of talent.

Moreover, they could now see more clearly that Qin Qing was not yet twenty years old and was already at the peak of the Divine Might Realm!

From his aura, forming a Golden Core wouldn’t take much longer...

"I am Elder Ji Hai, willing to take you as my disciple," said a silver-haired elder to Qin Qing.

"I am Elder Ling Feng, if you join my sect, you will become my Closed-door Disciple. I see from your aura that you should be a Sword Cultivator as well, I can pass on my life’s ultimate Gale Sword Technique to you..."

"I am Elder Ting Chao..."

Several Elder Jin Yings spoke in turn, each wanting to invite Qin Qing to become their disciple.

These Elder Jin Yings were all Martial Saints of the Cataclysmic Realm, originally only two Martial Saint Level Elder Jin Yings were present, but after Qin Qing ascended to the Ninth Level of the Wind-Fire Tower, three more arrived.

Now these Martial Saint Level Elder Jin Yings all wanted to take Qin Qing as their disciple.

Which Martial Saint would Qin Qing choose to become a disciple of?

Qin Qing quickly made a decision in his heart, but just as he was about to speak, suddenly a cold voice came from the side: "Inner Sect Disciple Qin Qing used cheating methods during the process of the Wind-Fire Tower True Disciple assessment, the assessment is invalid!"
