Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 395 - 375: A Sliver of Sword Dao_2

"We might as well cultivate here!"

Qin Qing opened his eyes and glanced around.

This should be the middle section of this sword path.

Moreover, it’s a bit more spacious here.

"All right, Senior Qin!" Zhu Jirong nodded and sat down a few yards away from Qin Qing.

Qin Qing also sat down, closed his eyes, and instantly entered the state of cultivation.

Zhu Linglong glanced at Qin Qing and saw spiritual power swirling rapidly around him, turning into strands of sword qi crisscrossing. An envious look couldn’t help but spill from her eyes.

"To be able to enter the cultivation state so quickly, he really is a monster..."

Qin Qing’s mind was devoid of anything else at this time, with only sword qi remaining.

At this moment, he seemed to have entered a whole new world, where sword qi was omnipresent.

All the sword qi roamed incessantly around Qin Qing, and he kept trying to capture these sword qi with his divine sense.

Each time he captured a strand of sword qi, Qin Qing would analyze and contemplate it, then continuously simulate and derive, attempting to brandish the same sword qi in his own way.

Soon, Qin Qing comprehended the first sword qi!

Then...

The second one!

The third...

Days slipped by day after day.

The sword intent Qin Qing comprehended continued to increase.

He used the sword intent he had grasped to continuously temper his Golden Core. Not only was his sword path rapidly improving, but his cultivation realm was also constantly advancing.

On the tenth day.

Qin Qing comprehended the thirty-second sword qi, and his cultivation also advanced to the second level of the Golden Core Realm!

And that day, Zhu Linglong could no longer hold on.

Her divine sense was feeling extremely weary. These ten days of contemplating sword qi had taken a great toll on her, especially on her divine sense.

Furthermore!

Within this sword path, the longer time passed, the more sword qi would gather.

The sword qi would also seek out people to approach!

Although they didn’t possess sentience, they would follow a certain pattern to attack creatures that invaded this place.

Zhu Linglong’s body also bore quite a few sword injuries, so she couldn’t persist any longer.

She took another look at Qin Qing. At this moment, hundreds of sword qi had converged around his body, both inside and out, forming a massive sphere that tightly enveloped him.

Of course, these sword qi weren’t material entities, and Zhu Linglong could only detect their presence indistinctly through her divine sense.

"He really is a monster..."

When Zhu Linglong saw those sword qi, which still couldn’t harm Qin Qing, she knew he could completely fend off these sword qi.

This meant that Qin Qing had the potential to comprehend them.

And Qin Qing’s cultivation... appeared to have advanced by a minor realm?

How long had he formed his Golden Core? And he had already made a breakthrough?

Zhu Linglong shook her head.

Having formed her Golden Core at eighteen and become a Martial Dao Master, her talent was already considered defy heaven.

Zhu Linglong had once been quite proud of her own giftedness.

But at this moment, she felt utterly devastated by Qin Qing!

Comparing oneself to others sometimes really can be exasperating.

Unable to continue, Zhu Linglong left this Sword Path Heaven.

"Linglong!" Seeing Zhu Linglong emerge from the sword path, Zhu Jirong walked over with a smile, "Last year you could only hold on for five days, but this time you managed to last ten days. Not bad, you’ve made progress!"

A smile also appeared on Zhu Linglong’s face, but it was somewhat forced.

She pointed towards the Sword Path Heaven and said, "Qin Qing is still inside. Compared to him, I’m nothing. And just now, I felt him break through! He’s now at the second level of the Golden Core Realm!"

"Oh? He’s broken through to the second level of the Golden Core Realm already?"

Zhu Jirong was first surprised and then chuckled and shook his head, "Linglong, some things shouldn’t be compared."

"Like Qin Qing’s talent... Don’t mention you, Linglong, even your father is not his match in terms of talent on the sword path..."

As he said this, Zhu Jirong’s gaze toward the Sword Path Heaven became even more expectant.

"All he lacks now is time!"

"With enough time... I even believe that one day he truly could reach the very peak of this world."

"Father! You are already a Martial Saint, aren’t you already at the peak existence of this world?" Zhu Linglong asked.

"Hehe..." Zhu Jirong merely smiled without speaking and shook his head, then continued, "Alright, Linglong, go treat your injuries well, and rest properly in the coming days."

Zhu Linglong complied and left.

Zhu Jirong stayed for a moment longer, and then he too disappeared from the spot.

Qin Qing alone continued to cultivate silently within the Sword Path Heaven.

At this point, he too began to feel the pressure...

The swords qi around him grew denser and denser.

Layer upon layer, thick as a swarm.

Around him were no longer wandering swords qi but rather as if countless swords were waiting in strict formation, ready to erupt at any moment.

Qin Qing knew that the moment he slackened, all of these sword qi would instantly lunge at him to pierce through.

Therefore, there cannot be any relaxation!

Qin Qing continued to comprehend Sword Qi tirelessly.

The one hundred and ninth Sword Qi...

The one hundred and tenth Sword Qi...

The number of Sword Qi he understood was increasing.

Twenty days had already gone by.

Yet, Qin Qing had not emerged from within.

On the twentieth day, Zhu Jirong came once again and saw Qin Qing’s figure still within the narrow pass and quietly left.

The thirty-second day!

"The one hundred and ninety-second Sword Qi!"

Qin Qing gritted his teeth as he had just comprehended the one hundred and ninety-second Sword Qi.

But he felt he had reached his limit!

Tired!

Extremely tired.

This fatigue was not solely from the physical body.

His body had been absorbing and refining Spiritual Qi non-stop for thirty-two days.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention thirty-two days, even three hundred days of unremitting cultivation wouldn’t be considered strenuous for a Golden Core Realm Martial Dao Master.

But... Qin Qing was operating at full load.

Moreover, in the past few days, he had even exceeded that load, hence the extraordinary exhaustion!

Besides, what was more tiring was not the physical exhaustion, but the weariness of his Divine Sense.

The consumption of Divine Sense put an extreme burden on Qin Qing’s brain, causing it to swell and even throb with pain, and signs of dizziness began to appear.

"Let’s try once more!"

Qin Qing gritted his teeth, although he had already reached his limit, he still wanted to push himself further!

Charge!

The one hundred and ninety-third Sword Qi!

Qin Qing managed to comprehend another Sword Qi...

This Sword Qi soon appeared in Qin Qing’s mind in its complete form.

With a wave of Qin Qing’s hand, a streak of the same Sword Qi burst forth...

"Huff, huff..."

Qin Qing let out uncontrollable heavy breaths.

Big drops of sweat emerged profusely from his forehead and body, drenching him in an instant.

His complexion even started to pale.

But Qin Qing bit down on his teeth, continuing to comprehend the next Sword Qi.

Time passed...

"The one hundred and ninety-fourth Sword Qi!"

Three hours later.

Qin Qing once again comprehended another Sword Qi.

As he fused the True Intention of this Sword Qi into his Golden Core,

his Golden Core suddenly radiated a dazzling light.

Qin Qing quickly took out a large number of Spirit Stones from his Spirit Ring, then frantically drew upon the Spiritual Qi within these stones...

"Whirring!"

Spiritual Qi entered his body, converged into his Dantian, and was continuously absorbed by the Golden Core.

"Boom!"

A powerful force surged within his Dantian.

He had broken through!

"Golden Core Realm Second Level!"

Qin Qing had made another breakthrough.

In one month’s time, he had consecutively broken through two minor realms.

Now he was already at the Third Level of the Golden Core Realm!

By this time, Qin Qing was certain that he had reached the ultimate limit.

As he waved his hand, the surrounding Sword Qi immediately began to swirl and change like a storm.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

The Sword Qi was chaotic, some of it possessing exceptionally terrifying power.

Pffft pffft.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Qing’s body was marked with dozens of sword wounds.

Even among them, two strands of Sword Qi had pierced through his body.

Fortunately, Qin Qing’s physical body was extraordinary, and his reaction was incredibly fast, avoiding further damage.

Afterward...

He walked step by step out of this Sword Dao!

At this moment, Qin Qing’s aura had undergone a dramatic change compared to when he first entered the Sword Dao a month ago!
