Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 425 - 400 Can the record be broken

There was no need to think to know that the death of Ouyang Xi, if it were to be reported back to Tai’a Academy, would inevitably stir up a huge uproar.

And Qin Qing must have certainly succeeded in drawing deep hatred towards himself once again.

Zhao Wuji and Zheng Yuanhai’s desire to kill Qin Qing would undoubtedly deepen by another level!

Qin Qing watched coldly as the fallen Ouyang Xi lay there, and with a wave of his hand, he took her Spirit Ring for himself.

"A genius disciple of Tai’a Academy, one of the Ten Heroes, even more talented than the paired beauties, it’s likely that there are no shortage of treasures within this Spirit Ring."

On the other side, Xu Yu, who was completely suppressed by Pei Fulong, panicked.

He had never expected that Ouyang Xi would die at the hands of the unknown Qin Qing.

He had thought that with the cooperation between himself and Ouyang Xi, killing Qin Qing would be a piece of cake, which is also why he had agreed to Ouyang Xi’s request.

The relationship between him and Ouyang Xi was otherwise quite ordinary.

They had met only a few times, and had spoken less than ten sentences to each other before this.

But because Ouyang Xi had offered him fairly good terms, Xu Yu had agreed.

But now, with Ouyang Xi dead by Qin Qing’s hand...

This was completely different from what Xu Yu had envisioned.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, lightning burst around Xu Yu, revealing a tiger-shaped Jade Talisman in his hand, from which all the lightning was erupting, instantly forming countless lightning Sword Qi, shattering the surrounding Spiritual Array.

Afterward, Xu Yu rushed out, casting a resentful glance at Pei Fulong, yet he was helpless to do anything.

"Let’s go!"

As he growled, the disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect began to abandon the fight and directly exited the core area of the Sword Pond.

Elsewhere, the disciples of Tai’a Academy were also retreating while fighting.

"Senior Qin!"

Cang Yuan rushed over, his sword still dripping blood, having just killed a female disciple of Tai’a Academy.

"Are we just going to let those scoundrels go?"

Cang Yuan watched unwillingly as Xu Yu and the others left.

"Let it be. They have fled into the Sword Path Prohibition, we’d better not pursue!" Qin Qing waved his hand: "Moreover, the priority now is to receive the cleansing of the Sword Pond!"

The others, hearing this, nodded in agreement.

Coming to the Sword Pavilion, the ultimate goal for everyone was naturally to receive the cleansing of the Sword Pond.

No one had expected a sudden outbreak of battle.

Now that the battle had ended, the cleansing was indeed the priority.

Qin Qing also immediately entered the state of receiving the cleansing...

The power of cleansing and Sword Intent surged into Qin Qing’s body once more.

Qin Qing began to comprehend the Sword Intents, while his Physical Body also underwent continuous cleansing and transformation!

Time went on relentlessly.

After seven days.

People started to leave the Sword Pond one after another.

They had to leave.

Because the power of cleansing no longer had an effect on them.

The process of receiving the cleansing was greatly related to one’s bodily talent; the greater the talent, the more one could receive the power of cleansing, and the longer one could sustain the connection.

And for those with lesser talent, by the third day, the power of cleansing they could receive was already quite weak.

Without the power of cleansing, and with an increasing accumulation of Sword Intent in their sea of consciousness, it was naturally impossible to continue.

As for Qin Qing, it was now the time when the cleansing became even more thorough, with the power of cleansing infused into his body growing distinctly stronger.

Every single pore on his body, every aperture, every tendon, and every inch of bone was transforming rapidly...

At the same time, various strands of Sword Intent were being thoroughly understood by Qin Qing.

He had no bottlenecks at all, not only the Sword Intent released from the Sword Fruit, but also the Sword Intent transmitted from the Sword Pond, was being comprehended by Qin Qing at rapid speed...

On the tenth day.

Liu Hongxue left.

This trip to the Sword Pavilion was near perfect for Liu Hongxue.

Being able to enter the Sword Cleansing Celestial Pond and receive ten days of baptism, her talent was sure to be fully enhanced. Upon her return to the Liu Clan, her status was sure to rise significantly.

As she left the Sword Pond, Liu Hongxue glanced at Qin Qing.

"Qin Qing, I’ll wait for you outside!" Liu Hongxue said softly before leaving the Sword Pond.

Meanwhile, Qin Qing still remained immersed in his cultivation.

On the twelfth day, Zhu Linglong and Cang Yuan also left one after another.

Zhu Linglong left first, followed by Cang Yuan, who left the Sword Pond an hour later, his complexion pale.

Clearly, the two had reached their limits.

However, enduring for twelve days was already a commendable achievement.

From past Sword Pond baptisms, anyone who could persist for ten days was considered one of Tai’a Ancient Country’s top geniuses.

After Zhu Linglong and Cang Yuan left, only Qin Qing and Pei Fulong remained in the Sword Pond.

At that moment, Pei Fulong was sitting cross-legged, calmly floating in the water, gently bobbing up and down, with stars manifesting above his head and starlight enveloping his whole body.

He seemed quite relaxed and clearly hadn’t reached his limit.

The force of the baptism kept circulating around him, and he was still continuously receiving its power.

And so, five more days passed.

It was on the seventeenth day.

Pei Fulong also reached his limit.

His aura fluctuated continuously, True Intention circulated around his body, and it was accompanied by an aura of Returning to Purity and Simplicity.

Pei Fulong had reached the edge of the Nascent Soul Realm! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

It seemed that after this baptism in the Sword Pond, it wouldn’t be long before he could break the pill and form the Nascent Soul!

Joy flickered in Pei Fulong’s eyes.

The baptism he received from the Sword Pond was a great harvest, even far surpassing his initial expectations.

He then took another look at Qin Qing, who was still sitting by his side, eyes closed in cultivation.

"This guy, he’s really a freak... I really wasn’t wrong about him!" Envy appeared in Pei Fulong’s eyes. He had reached his limit, but Qin Qing was clearly still some distance from his own limit.

"I’m off then, I’ll wait for you outside!" Pei Fulong also then left.

At this point, Qin Qing was the only one left in the entire Sword Pond.

Pei Fulong had left the Sword Pond.

Outside, Liu Hongxue, Cang Yuan, Zhu Linglong, and others were cultivating while also waiting for Qin Qing.

"Master Pei, is Qin Qing still undergoing the baptism?" Liu Hongxue asked.

Pei Fulong nodded, his smile tinged with both bitterness and admiration, "Qin Qing’s talent is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Even Lei Teng probably can’t compare to Brother Qin! It’s been so many days, and I reckon he can hold on for at least three more."

"Hold on for three more days? That would be twenty days? It’s said that the longest record for the Sword Pond’s baptism is twenty days," Cang Yuan said.

"That’s right!" Pei Fulong nodded, "That record wasn’t set by someone from our Tai’a, but by a Martial Cultivator from the Limitless Ancient Country..."

"Yes, I’ve heard about this too. That Martial Cultivator from the Limitless Ancient Country spent a great deal to gain the opportunity for the Sword Pond’s baptism. However, to keep it confidential, not many know the name of that cultivator, and the Sword Pavilion has not disclosed it either," Liu Hongxue added.

"I wonder if Senior Qin can break this record?" Cang Yuan rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
