Supreme Dragon Martial Soul - Chapter 620 - 296: Jingyang’s Ordeal, Eighth Prince Jin Min!
Chapter 620: Chapter 296: Jingyang’s Ordeal, Eighth Prince Jin Min!
Hoo!
As the young man crushed the teacup in his hand, a domineering aura erupted from him, sweeping across the entire tavern.
Everyone on the fifth floor of the tavern felt it and glanced over in unison.
The brim of the youth’s hat was pressed very low, obscuring his face, yet his tall and slender figure exuded a grand and majestic sense of oppression.
“A Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm expert!”
A Jianghu traveler discerned the cultivation of the young man and exclaimed in astonishment.
The young man should be under twenty years old, yet at such an age, he’s already a Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm expert—a true genius by the standards of the entire Great Yue Dynasty!
“Let’s go…”
At the same table, there was also an elder with a goatee, wearing a purple flame gold cloud robe.
There was no perceivable aura about the elder, yet his eyes flashed like lightning as he glanced at the young man, expressionlessly heading towards the tavern’s exit.
Bam!
The young man slapped a Gold Note onto the table, stood up, and quickly followed.
A Jianghu traveler accidentally glimpsed the flame cloud pattern at the young man’s sleeve’s position, and his eyes widened in surprise, whispering:
“A disciple of the Fierce Cloud Sect, with such a powerful presence!”
An Awakening Vein Realm late-stage expert with a gray beard breathed out lightly and slowly said:
“You must have escaped with your lives; that elder is none other than the Supreme Elder, True Master Dong Yue of Fierce Cloud Sect! If nothing unforeseen, that youth is his direct disciple, also the Hua Jingyang you were just comparing with Luo Cheng.”
“True Master Dong Yue of Fierce Cloud Sect! No way!”
“Hua Jingyang! It’s really him!”
“In less than a year, Hua Jingyang has already become a Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm expert. Such rapid progress!”
“Luo Cheng is already an Eighth Layer Peak expert of Awakening Vein Realm. What’s unacceptable about Hua Jingyang breaking through to Seventh Level? Don’t forget, Hua Jingyang awakened the Ten-star Spiritual Martial Soul and has the personal guidance of a powerhouse like True Master Dong Yue; it’s hard not to progress quickly.”
“You’re kidding! How could they come to this small Yunquan City.”
The crowd marveled repeatedly.
Especially those who had been discussing Hua Jingyang earlier, are now somewhat fearful, as if walking through Ghost Gate.
Above the clouds.
The black-robed young man and the elder flew side by side.
The black-robed youth took off his cloak, revealing himself as Hua Jingyang. His originally heroic left face now bore a red scar in the shape of a flame.
“Eighth Layer Peak of Awakening Vein Realm! Nine Sword Intent prototype! Top Ten Seed Disciples! Damn it, how did that guy cultivate? How could his progress be so fast!”
Hua Jingyang clenched his fist tightly, breathing heavily, his features distorted by his agitated emotions.
To defeat Luo Cheng, he had secluded himself in Burying Fire Abyss, recklessly devouring various fierce fires, nearly dying several times; the scar on his face was left from once being rebounded after devouring fierce fire.
Through relentless effort, Hua Jingyang finally broke through to the late stage of Awakening Vein Realm, rapidly advancing his cultivation technique and martial arts realm!
Hua Jingyang was confident that with his current cultivation and strength, defeating Luo Cheng would be as easy as flipping his hand!
Therefore, he promptly returned to the Great Yue Dynasty, seeking Luo Cheng to fulfill the battle agreement and erase his previous disgrace!
Passing through Yunquan City, they took a rest, yet did not expect to hear such shocking news, akin to a bolt from the blue!
Hua Jingyang couldn’t believe how a waste who awakened a Wasted Martial Soul could progress faster than him!
“I heard that his background is related to the Ancient Family Ji in Central Continent; he must have extraordinary encounters, allowing him to advance rapidly.”
True Master Dong Yue said, addressing Hua Jingyang, “Jingyang, are you still going to Xuanyuan Sect?”
Hua Jingyang bit his lip, unwilling, “Master, if I wield all my strength against Luo Cheng, do I have a chance of winning?”
True Master Dong Yue frowned deeply, shook his head, “Difficult, very difficult! If Luo Cheng hadn’t comprehended the Nine Percent Sword Intent prototype, it would be fine. With your awakened Martial Soul divine power, plus the several intense fierce fires and innate fire qi you’ve devoured at Burying Fire Abyss, you could disregard the gap in cultivation!”
“Unfortunately, he’s already a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman; his sword intent can cut illusions and sever evil, your Martial Soul divine power will be significantly weakened before him. Plus the gap in cultivation…”
True Master Dong Yue didn’t continue.
Hua Jingyang’s face twitched, suddenly stopping, looking determinedly at True Master Dong Yue:
“Master, you head back first!”
“Hmm?”
True Master Dong Yue stopped.
Hua Jingyang took a deep breath, his gaze becoming sharp and penetrating, even the flame scar on his face trembling, then solemnly said:
“I plan to venture alone into Burying Fire Abyss! I won’t return to the sect until I defeat Luo Cheng!”
“You…”
True Master Dong Yue was surprised at Hua Jingyang’s determination, remained silent for a long time, nodded, “Since you have such ambition, I won’t persuade you otherwise. Some paths indeed require you to walk yourself! Inside here are things you can use, take it.”
True Master Dong Yue handed a Storage Spirit Ring to Hua Jingyang.
“Thank you, Master. When I return next time, I will definitely not let you down!”
Hua Jingyang bowed to True Master Dong Yue, gazed deeply in the direction of Xuanyuan Sect, then turned and left.
“It seems fate plays a role; Luo Cheng is your trial, and only by overcoming it can you soar and achieve great accomplishments.”
True Master Dong Yue murmured softly as he watched Hua Jingyang depart.
Upon learning that Luo Cheng had become one of Xuanyuan Sect’s Top Ten Seed Disciples, True Master Dong Yue was initially very angry.
What right does a waste of Xuanyuan Sect have to surpass his direct disciple!
Calming down, True Master Dong Yue thought differently.
Throughout history, the most accomplished and great heroes often had a strong opponent during their growth phase.
They were both enemies and competitors; constantly surpassing each other allowed them to break conventions and create miracles!
Otherwise, even the most talented would have their passion worn down by the passage of time and gradually become mediocre.
Luo Cheng’s existence, for Hua Jingyang, is both a wall and a ladder to climb to greater heights!
“Fly onward!”
True Master Dong Yue eagerly awaited the moment Hua Jingyang would surpass Luo Cheng.
At the same time, another group was discussing Luo Cheng.
In the midst of the mountains of the Black Cloud Mountain Range, a beautiful tent stood in a valley.
Inside the tent was a white jade desk, surrounded by several young talents with extraordinary auras.
The young man in splendid attire in the center, tall and proud, exuded an air of wealth, though his slightly narrow eyes lent his entire demeanor a certain coldness; this was none other than the Eighth Prince Jin Min.
The other young talents present were also core figures within the Crown Prince Hall’s inner sect, among them were several ranked in the top ten of the Xuanhe List, part of the inner sect’s Top Ten Seed Disciples!
“Congratulations to Brother Jin Min for discovering the Blood Nether Sect’s base, not only obtaining two Ksitigarbha Mixed Yuan Pills but also gaining access to train at Fierce Cloud Sect’s Crack Fire Valley; truly enviable!”
Liu Kang, ranked seventh on the Xuanhe List, smiled and congratulated Jin Min.
The rest also raised their cups one after another.
Jin Min smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, put down the cup, and said, “I am about to leave the Black Cloud Mountain Range, so I’ll leave the matters here to you, brothers and sisters.”
“Brother Jin is leaving?”
“A few days from now the attack on the Blood Nether Sect’s base will begin, allowing us to kill Blood Nether Sect disciples and accumulate sect contribution points, Brother Jin isn’t participating?”
The crowd was greatly surprised; killing Blood Nether Sect disciples to accumulate sect contribution points was one thing, but what truly tempted them was the wealth likely amassed at the Blood Nether Sect’s base.
With Blood Nether Sect’s years of secretive plotting and development, the base surely holds considerable wealth.
Jin Min’s sudden decision to leave at such a critical moment was a real surprise to everyone.
