Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 335 - 11: Qi Ting’s Apology! Change in the Sea of Consciousness!
Chapter 335: Chapter 11: Qi Ting’s Apology! Change in the Sea of Consciousness!
Cough! Cough!
Lin Canglang lay on the ground, gasping faintly, unable to move, his fighting spirit completely extinguished, yet his eyes remained fixed on Luo Cheng with a deathly glare.
He was unwilling! He couldn’t believe it!
His life of wisdom and renown—how could it end in such a manner?
Defeated by someone he had completely disregarded, dismissed as nothing but a wasted martial soul!
How could he swallow this humiliation!
Pfft!
Overwhelmed with rage, Lin Canglang coughed up another mouthful of blood mixed with his internal organs, and passed away on the spot!
"The Lin Family’s Family Head is dead!"
The crowd watching had long been frozen in place, stunned.
Those nine men were all famously skilled masters of the Lin Family!
Particularly Lin Canglang, whose displayed might a moment ago had been breathtaking. Without a doubt, he was a half-step Awakening Vein Realm expert who had achieved Divine Bridge!
Such experts, within the entirety of Qishan City, could only be said to be overshadowed slightly by the City Lord Yun Daojiang.
Yet before Luo Cheng, Lin couldn’t withstand even a single move, felled by one punch, instantaneously killed!
"Incredible! Taking out Lin Canglang with one punch—what kind of power is this?!"
"Are disciples of the Three Great Sects all this terrifying? Even awakening a wasted martial soul doesn’t stop them from being this powerful!"
"Impossible!"
The crowd buzzed with disbelief as their gazes turned toward Luo Cheng, filled with shock and awe as if they were looking at a monster.
Someone who had always been ridiculed as worthless was now suddenly a peerless powerhouse. This transformation was as surreal as a dream! freёwebnoѵel.com
Listening to the crowd’s discussions, the Luo Family members wore curious expressions.
Only they knew the whole truth—Luo Cheng had personally slain an Awakening Vein Realm master.
Lin Canglang? He was nothing in comparison!
At this moment, the Qi Family’s Family Head, Qi Fusong, stepped forward from amid the crowd, a broad smile on his face as he addressed Luo Mingshan:
"Family Head Luo, congratulations, congratulations! I had long seen that Luo Cheng was a sharp talent destined for greatness. Today, as expected, he soars into the heavens. With such a genius emerging from the Luo Family, your future will surely be bright!"
Hearing these words, the other leaders of various factions immediately reacted and stepped forward to join in:
"Family Head Luo, it would be good to catch up sometime, perhaps over some wine and food."
"My youngest daughter has always been passionate about martial arts, though she lacks talent. Family Head Luo, perhaps Luo Cheng could spare some time to guide her."
"Family Head Luo, you are truly blessed to have a grandson like Luo Cheng."
The prominent figures of Qishan City rushed to offer their congratulations.
Everyone was keenly aware that from this day forward, Qishan City would no longer have three great families; there would only be one true ruler—the Luo Family!
As for Luo Cheng, even if his cultivation journey stalled in the future due to awakening a wasted martial soul, his achievements of today alone were enough to become legendary throughout the city!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Luo Mingshan’s face glowed with pride as he said with great satisfaction:
"In several days, the Luo Residence will host a grand banquet. I hope all of you will honor us with your presence!"
Even now, Luo Mingshan felt like he was in a dream.
But the events of today told him clearly—this was no dream!
Meanwhile.
Luo Cheng instructed the servants to move Lin Canglang and the others’ corpses to the backyard.
He was preparing to return and devour their martial souls.
"Luo Cheng!"
A crisp voice suddenly called out from the side.
Luo Cheng turned to look, a little surprised.
It was Qi Ting, accompanied by her younger brother Qi Dong.
"Long time no see!"
Luo Cheng nodded slightly. After half a year of separation, Qi Ting had grown noticeably more beautiful. Though she still couldn’t compare to Luo Yao, Yun Mengli, or Chen Lingyu, she could be considered a cute and petite beauty.
Noticing the Golden Ring emblem on Qi Ting’s collar, Luo Cheng smiled and said:
"You’ve joined the Golden Ring Sect, congratulations."
Qi Ting was pleased that Luo Cheng hadn’t ignored her. She replied, "It’s nothing to congratulate. Compared to the Xuanyuan Sect, which belongs to the Three Great Sects, it falls far short."
"But you... In just half a year, you’ve broken through to the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm, and even the Lin Family’s Family Head was no match for you! Even the Outer Sect Senior Brother of our Golden Ring Sect can’t compare to half your skill."
Luo Cheng coughed lightly and said, "What is it you need from me?"
Qi Ting’s cheeks flushed slightly as she pulled Qi Dong forward:
"I’ve asked Qi Dong to apologize to you. Back then, he was foolish and listened to Lin Yun’s nonsense... which caused some trouble between you two."
Qi Dong nodded like a pecking chicken, quickly saying, "Brother Luo, I’m sorry! I’ll never dare to do such a thing again!"
The sight of Luo Cheng obliterating several Lin Family experts with a single punch earlier had nearly scared him out of his wits!
"It’s nothing. I’ve already forgotten about it."
Luo Cheng shook his head.
Having experienced so much, such childish conflicts meant nothing to him now.
Qi Ting opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
She hadn’t told the truth.
Her real purpose in coming today was that her father, Qi Fusong, had instructed her to befriend Luo Cheng and strengthen their ties.
Yet, recalling the words she had once said when she refused the engagement proposal, Qi Ting felt her face burn with embarrassment, leaving her unable to start the conversation.
As she had said back then, the gap between them would only widen!
But things had turned out entirely opposite to her expectations!
The disparity between her and Luo Cheng kept growing—so vast now, it was beyond measure!
Luo Cheng, mindful of the martial souls of Lin Canglang and the others, said:
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now!"
With that, he turned and walked away.
"Luo Cheng..."
Qi Ting opened her mouth to call out but stopped herself as Luo Cheng had already disappeared into the distance.
Luo Cheng returned to the backyard, dismissed the servants, and immediately began devouring martial souls.
This time, the Lin Family had sent twenty-seven people, nearly half of whom were martial artists at the Tongxuan Realm, with only four at the Third Layer.
Luo Cheng didn’t hold back, devouring each and every one of their martial souls!
Rumble!
After the devouring ended, mighty streams of Essence Qi surged within Luo Cheng’s body like rivers, their currents roaring faintly as they ran rampant. His meridians felt taut with residual energy!
Luo Cheng knew this was a sign that his body had reached its limit. Without delay, he announced his retreat for cultivation and returned to his personal courtyard.
Sitting cross-legged in the Practice Field, Luo Cheng took an Awakening God Pill, closed his eyes, and was about to begin training.
Huh!
Unexpectedly, his expression suddenly shifted as his eyes snapped open, brimming with disbelief.
The drop of blood in his Dantian continued to spin rapidly, radiating formidable life energy, but the oppressive, ominous aura had vanished.
What truly surprised Luo Cheng, however, was the change in his Sea of Consciousness.
His Sea of Consciousness had expanded by more than double, transforming from a small pond into a miniature lake with golden waves rippling across its surface!
Since breaking through to the Third Layer of the Tongxuan Realm and refining the martial soul essence of over ten Tongxuan Realm martial artists, his Sea of Consciousness had only seen minor and barely noticeable changes.
Yet within just one day, it had swelled exponentially!
The phenomenon was astonishing!
"It seems that the terrifying will from that mountain of corpses and sea of blood nourished my Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul, strengthening my soul power!"
As he considered the possibilities, Luo Cheng could only think of one explanation.
The destructive will suppressed by the Nine-colored Scale hadn’t disappeared—it had transformed into nourishment for his soul power!
This revelation filled Luo Cheng with joy; at least he hadn’t walked through the gates of death in vain!
"That black-clad figure was likely just a puppet under control. The real entity behind it—what could it be..."
Recalling the horrifying aura emitted by the crimson pupils, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but shudder internally.
Shaking his head, he set aside unnecessary thoughts. Whatever lay behind those blood-red eyes was not something he could provoke at his current stage!
Steeling his focus, Luo Cheng silently reminded himself:
"Cultivation! With this much martial soul essence, I can reach the Third Layer Peak of the Tongxuan Realm!"
