Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 487 - 453 Challenge Qin Qing

At this moment, Zhu Linglong beside Qin Qing spoke up, "Senior Qin, this person named Ao Ye comes from an unknown place. His strength and talent are quite impressive. Perhaps he really can give you a good fight."

"Oh?" Qin Qing heard this and couldn’t help but show a flicker of emotion on his face.

This Ao Ye looked very young, not much different from himself, probably only about twenty years old at most.

But judging from his aura, his cultivation had already reached the Middle Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm.

To be precise, he was at the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.

"His aura is very stable, also quite eerie, this feeling is very special..."

Qin Qing couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, stroking his chin, showing a contemplative expression.

This Ao Ye gave him a very special feeling.

This kind of special feeling, he had never experienced before with anyone else.

"Sister Zhu. Brother Cang Yuan."

By this time, someone had spotted Zhu Linglong and Cang Yuan.

Most of these people were new disciples of Wind-Fire Academy.

That is, those who had entered Wind-Fire Academy in the past few months. Therefore, most only knew Zhu Linglong and Cang Yuan, and did not recognize Qin Qing.

They had all heard of Qin Qing’s reputation but had not seen him with their own eyes.

Now, seeing a young man of similar age standing between Zhu Linglong and Cang Yuan, they couldn’t help but speculate about the identity of this person.

However, there were also people who recognized Qin Qing.

So the moment they saw Qin Qing, a fervent look flashed in their eyes.

"Senior Qin!"

"Senior Qin is back!"

The few disciples who recognized Qin Qing immediately rushed over to him.

"Senior Qin? Which Senior Qin?" someone asked in confusion.

"Which other Senior Qin could it be? Of course, it’s Senior Qin Qing!"

At once, the crowd erupted.

"Senior Qin Qing is back!"

"He really is Senior Qin Qing, just as the rumors say, so young, yet so heroic and handsome!"

Suddenly, the news quickly spread among the surrounding people.

Senior Qin Qing has returned to Wind-Fire Academy!

For many disciples, even if they had not seen Qin Qing, he had already become a legendary figure. For many who came to Wind-Fire Academy, their first wish was to witness Qin Qing’s true countenance.

There were also many who had come to view Qin Qing as a role model and motivation in their Martial Arts cultivation.

After all, that battle in Tianyong was too passionate and soul-stirring, and had already spread throughout Tianyong Province, and even some further provinces, started passing on tales of the battle, along with Qin Qing’s terrifying battle record.

"You are Qin Qing!?"

At this moment, seeing Qin Qing surrounded by many Wind-Fire Academy disciples, Ao Ye walked over immediately.

He pushed through the crowd and came before Qin Qing.

Suddenly, he drew out the Mad Blade from his back with a whoosh.

This was a blood-red blade, with a thick scent of blood lingering on it.

However, despite being covered in blood, it did not carry a sinister aura.

This meant that although the blade was a killing tool, it was not a taboo murderous weapon.

This blade had killed many people, drunk much blood.

But it had not killed many who died wrongfully.

From this aspect, although Ao Ye was someone who sought enlightenment through killing, those he killed did not include many who did not deserve to die.

"Yes, I am Qin Qing!"

Qin Qing looked at Ao Ye calmly and nodded slightly.

"Very well. I came to Wind-Fire Academy specifically to challenge you. But I never saw a trace of you, I even thought you were hiding and didn’t dare to come out!" Ao Ye said with an arrogant face.

"Spout your bloody bullshit somewhere else!" A disciple on the side couldn’t bear to watch and pointed at Ao Ye, cursing: "You mongrel, does Senior Qin need to hide from you? Just because of you?"

"Ao Ye. I don’t care if you’re Ao Ye or asleep, being so presumptuous in front of Senior Qin, I’m the first to take offense."

"Exactly, what do you think you are, daring to speak to Senior Qin with that tone?"

Most of these Wind-Fire Academy disciples saw Qin Qing as an idol; how could they tolerate Ao Ye spouting such nonsense here?

"Heh heh..." Ao Ye sneered. He didn’t care much about what the others said, his gaze fixed on Qin Qing: "Qin Qing, everyone says you are an extraordinary genius, the current first disciple of Wind-Fire Academy. I’m not convinced!"

He waved the Mad Blade in his hand, and his fighting spirit erupted: "Today, I, Ao Ye, will challenge you here. The loser will relinquish the title of first disciple of Wind-Fire Academy. Do you dare accept this battle?"

"Insolence!"

A person emerged from the crowd, it was Du Zhongjin.

He was an older disciple of Wind-Fire Academy, who had also followed Qin Qing’s cultivation for a time and received many pointers from Qin Qing.

He happened to pass by, saw Ao Ye challenging Qin Qing, and immediately came over in anger.

"If you want to challenge Senior Qin, you have to get past me first!"

A long spear appeared in Du Zhongjin’s hand as he angrily pointed it at Ao Ye.

Ao Ye glanced at Du Zhongjin disdainfully.

"You’re not worthy, scram!"

At this, Du Zhongjin flew into a rage.

If it weren’t for the academy’s rules against private fights and injuring fellow disciples, he probably would have started a fight on the spot.

"Junior Brother Du, there’s no need to get angry," Qin Qing said with a light smile and a wave of his hand, then he looked at Ao Ye: "Since you want to challenge me, then I will accept this battle. But before we fight, I want to ask, did you come to Wind-Fire Academy just to challenge me?"

"No!" Ao Ye answered straightforwardly: "Initially, I heard that Wind-Fire Academy won the Tianyong battle and started recruiting new disciples again. Moreover, Wind-Fire Tower has returned to Wind-Fire Academy. My coming here is more about wanting to use the Wind-Fire Tower for cultivation.

As for you? It was only after I arrived here that I heard your name. And wherever I go, I hear people singing your praises. I simply couldn’t stand it, so I wanted to challenge you, to shut everyone up once I defeat you!"

Qin Qing couldn’t help but laugh at Ao Ye’s answer.

It seemed that Ao Ye had no ill intentions in himself.

And it appeared that his nature was quite straightforward.

"Good. Now you and I can take it to the Wind-Fire Battle Platform!" Qin Qing said.

"Senior Qin, how about letting me do it?" Zhu Linglong said softly.

"No need. He challenged me, so I’ll handle it," Qin Qing said with a slight wave of his hand.

In fact, Qin Qing knew that Zhu Linglong was not Ao Ye’s match.

This Ao Ye, most likely, could only be subdued by Qin Qing himself.

If Qin Qing weren’t here, then among all the disciples of Wind-Fire Academy, Ao Ye would indeed be the top individual. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"But now, I, Qin Qing, have returned!"

Qin Qing smiled calmly and strode towards the Wind-Fire Battle Platform.

Soon, two pieces of news spread within Wind-Fire Academy.

One was that Senior Brother Qin Qing had returned.

The tales of Qin Qing had long spread within Wind-Fire Academy, and many wanted to witness him in person, but for the past three months, they never had the chance.

And now, Senior Brother Qin Qing had finally come back.

The other piece of news was that Mad Blade Ao Ye challenged Qin Qing, and the two were going to settle the score on the Wind-Fire Battle Platform!

Immediately, countless people swarmed towards the Wind-Fire Battle Platform.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the area around the Wind-Fire Battle Platform was packed with people.

Ao Ye leaped up, landing on the platform. The Mad Blade in his hand emitted a crimson blood light, thick with killing intent, giving off a terrifying oppressive aura.

"Come on up, what are you waiting for?"

Ao Ye swung the Blood-colored Mad Blade in his hand, slashing through the void towards Qin Qing, the provocative intent was very strong!
