Under the stimulation of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, the true qi within the Martial Core not only surged in, but also transformed into violent energy. This energy, like a flood, surged into Qin Xin's limbs and Baihui point. Qin Xin also felt that his physical body had become even stronger. With each breath, the true qi around his body vibrated. However, Qin Xin had not truly entered the Opening Aperture Realm, so he was unable to condense the True Qi Gauze Robe.
"Hmph! A mere trick."
Seeing Qin Xin's change, Huan Hua still looked disdainful, but he had already quietly adjusted his true energy in his palms.
Feeling the raging true energy within his body, Qin Xin grinned, gripped the black stick in his hand, pointed it at Huan Hua, and chuckled, "Again!"
Qin Xin, having activated his Martial Spirit Pattern, was extremely powerful, unleashing every attack directly. Huan Hua had known of Qin Xin's abilities beforehand, so he had been holding back. The two clashed evenly, and for a moment, several fiery blades shot out from the arena. The fiery red longsword actually transformed into several sword shadows in the air, continuously piercing the ground like a rain of fire.
Feeling Qin Xin's relentless offensive, Huan Hua suddenly felt uncertain. As a student on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, if he were defeated by Qin Xin in the arena, he would not only lose his ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but he would also find it difficult to hold his head high in the outer academy in the future.
"I didn't expect you to actually have some strength. You do have the right to be arrogant, but don't forget, the students on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are not so easily defeated!"
A sly look flashed across Huan Hua's face. His fiery red true energy intensified, flowing like water into the red longsword in his hand. Moreover, this fiery red true energy merged into his true energy gauze robe, enveloping his entire body in the red-glowing robe.
"Boss, be careful! This is Heng Hua's true Martial Spirit, a five-star Martial Spirit, the Crimson Flame Sword!" Jin Yuanbao shouted loudly from below the arena upon seeing this.
Seeing the fiery red longsword in Heng Hua's hand, which had changed drastically, with its fiery red true energy constantly churning like waves of fire, the entire arena was enveloped in a heat.
"A five-star Martial Spirit?"
Qin Xin glanced at it and said that he knew that martial artists with weapon spirits could directly use their weapon spirits as weapons, which would be more convenient. However, many martial artists with weapon spirits would also use some spiritual weapons, attaching their weapon spirits to the spiritual weapons to unleash stronger combat power. Heng Hua was just like that.
Heng Hua's fiery red longsword was merely an ordinary third-grade spiritual weapon, but now, with the blessing of the Martial Spirit, even a fifth-grade spiritual weapon would find it difficult to contend with it.
"There are very few people in this outer courtyard who can make me awaken my Martial Spirit. Qin Xin, your strength is indeed impressive, but unfortunately you've met me, which means you're destined to fail!"
Huan Hua swung his fiery red longsword, and as the blade sliced through the air, a cold glint appeared. He also directly activated the sharpness of his martial spirit pattern. If an ordinary martial artist were to be sliced by this sword, they would probably be torn open. Without the protection of a true qi veil, even the toughest body would be pierced through.
"Fire Rain Sword Kill!"
After unleashing his martial arts, the fiery red longsword transformed into countless afterimages. With the blessing of the Crimson Flame Sword Martial Spirit, each afterimage emitted flames, seemingly intent on burning everything to ashes. Just as it approached Qin Xin, a loud shout rang out, and countless raindrops of fire attacked Qin Xin directly. The dense specks of light, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, caused the students watching around the arena to hold their breath.
Qin Xin showed no sign of backing down. He knew that if he couldn't withstand this attack, he would have no strength left to fight, and Huan Hua was also looking to finish him off in one blow.
Huan Hua unleashed the full power of the second level of the Awakening Realm, displaying a mid-level Xuan-rank martial art. It appeared powerful and awe-inspiring, but Qin Xin, due to his spiritual sense, possessed perception far exceeding that of martial artists of the same level. In his eyes, there was only a fiery red longsword, its movements elusive, leaving afterimages in the air as it swept past, directly attacking him. Moreover, fiery red true energy surged continuously on the cold tip of the sword, making it appear to the students around the arena as if countless fire rains were descending upon them.
"Wildfire Hundred Slashes, break through!"
Qin Xin dared not be careless, and he also gathered all his true energy on the Martial Spirit Black Staff, directly unleashing his strongest martial art.
As soon as he activated this Earth-rank martial art, Qin Xin felt his true energy completely exhausted, and the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern he had activated began to dim. With a sudden swing of his black staff forward, a huge pale yellow fire blade slashed down directly.
"Boom, boom..."
The sharp sword and the powerful staff clashed, unleashing a burst of explosive energy.
"Click...click..."
Several cracks appeared on the black staff formed from true energy. Qin Xin's expression was somewhat grim. The members of the Sword Clan around the arena had already begun to cheer. The faces of the students from Class 17 were pale, and Shangguan Lingyan even covered her eyes, unable to bear to watch what was about to happen. She had already imagined the scene of Qin Xin flying backwards with countless sword marks on his body.
"Still not admitting defeat? If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might still be merciless. After all, weapons are silent, and if I accidentally take your hands or feet off, don't say that I'm ruthless."
Seeing Qin Xin, who was already unable to hold on, Huan Hua pushed the fiery red longsword in his hand forward again, and the black staff martial spirit that Qin Xin condensed with true energy had several more cracks.
In the outer courtyard's martial arts arena, the academy does not allow killing an opponent unless a life-or-death agreement is signed. After all, this is not the academy, but the real world outside where there is deceit and treachery. The martial arts between students are more about friendly sparring, so they are not likely to use ruthless methods. Of course, if some tricks are used, as long as the opponent is not killed, the academy will not interfere.
"Don't be too smug."
A glint flashed in Qin Xin's eyes, and a smile appeared in his gaze as he looked at Huan Hua. This subtle gesture caused Huan Hua to quickly step back.
"burst!"
Qin Xin's lips moved slightly, and he uttered a single word.
In an instant, the fire blades that had been locked in a stalemate suddenly exploded. Huan Hua tried to escape, but it was too late. The entire arena was like a giant fireball, and the energy from the explosion spread outwards in all directions.
When Qin Xin unleashed the Wildfire Hundred Slashes, he also swung out the Crimson Flame Blade, which was infused with spiritual power. Under the powerful aura of the Wildfire Hundred Slashes, the Crimson Flame Blade was completely ignored.
"cough!"
After the smoke cleared, Qin Xin struggled to support himself, coughing up dark red blood. Because he was also at the center of the explosion, the powerful energy fluctuations injured him as well. If it weren't for the strengthening pills given to him by Dan Qing, he would have died in the explosion.
Before Qin Xin stood a figure, whose true qi robes had disintegrated, but whose face was filled with resentment. As the fiery red longsword in his hand broke, the figure slowly fell to the ground.
Upon witnessing this scene, the members of Class 17 were initially horrified, followed by cheers of courage. Qin Xin, due to his injuries, suddenly lost consciousness.
