Rewards Obtained: Domain of Tyranny, Unlimited Firepower!

"Tang San?"

"That's quite a good name."

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly.

But although it was a good name,

for some reason, the moment she heard it, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

It was like a physical sense of nausea.

"Oh, right. Since you're here to hunt for a Soul Ring too, why did you choose a Soul Beast tens of thousands of years old?"

"And your cultivation seems to be only that of a level-ten Soul Scholar. Strictly speaking, you don't even count as a Soul Master yet."

That was what puzzled Xue Qinghe.

Although Yu Fan's strength was terrifying, he was still a level-ten Soul Scholar when all was said and done.

Soul Power fluctuations didn't lie. Even a Soul Beast ought to possess Soul Power.

But Yu Fan was somewhat different.

"Haha!"

Hearing this, Yu Fan simply laughed and said,

"That's where you're mistaken. We Soul Masters actually rely on the strength of our bodies and spiritual power to absorb Soul Rings!"

"The strength of the body and spiritual power?"

Xue Qinghe thought about it carefully.

It seemed he wasn't wrong.

But only by raising one's Soul Power Level could one break through those shackles.

Otherwise, ordinary training alone could never make someone as terrifying as Yu Fan, and naturally, there would be no way to absorb Soul Rings of a higher age.

It was worth mentioning that

physical strength alone was enough for Soul Rings under ten thousand years old.

"That's right!"

Yu Fan pointed at the carcass of the ten-thousand-year Light-Winged Mantis on the ground.

He spoke with confidence.

"As long as your body and spiritual power are strong enough, never mind a mere Soul Ring tens of thousands of years old! Even if you gave me a hundred-thousand-year or even a million-year Soul Ring right now,

"I could absorb it for you to see!"

A hundred thousand years?

A million years?

Do you think those Soul Rings are cabbages by the roadside, there for the taking whenever you please?!

Xue Qinghe looked at Yu Fan, doubt on her face.

"Speaking of which, Brother Tang, are you really only a level-ten Soul Scholar? What is your Martial Soul?"

"Asking about my Martial Soul? To tell you the truth, I actually don't have a Martial Soul at all."

Yu Fan spread his hands.

"If you don't believe me, you can watch from the side when I absorb the Soul Ring later. While you're at it, help guard me."

"Although that trash guard of yours is injured, he shouldn't have any trouble guarding me. What do you say,

"Little Brother Xue?"

Being called Little Brother Xue really made Xue Qinghe feel odd.

By all rights, shouldn't Yu Fan have called her Brother Xue?

You don't even look older than me, so why are you calling me Little Brother Xue?

But now wasn't the time to dwell on that.

"Naturally, there's no problem. But if you don't have a Martial Soul, how are you going to absorb a Soul Ring? I've never heard of anyone in this world failing to awaken a Martial Soul!"

"Could something have gone wrong when you awakened yours? Your Martial Soul simply hasn't awakened, so you can't tell what it is for the time being!"

Xue Qinghe felt she had cracked the case.

After all, Yu Fan looked rather stupid.

"Enough about my Martial Soul."

Yu Fan looked at Xue Qinghe curiously.

"Little Brother Xue, what's your Martial Soul?"

"Swan."

"Is it really a Swan? Just now, why did it look a little like Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel to me?"

Looking at Yu Fan's deeply suspicious gaze,

Xue Qinghe couldn't help feeling a little nervous, though she maintained a perfectly composed expression.

She spoke calmly.

"Have you seen a Six-Winged Angel?"

"No, I haven't."

"Since you haven't seen a Six-Winged Angel, how can you be certain that my Swan is an Angel Martial Soul?"

Xue Qinghe suddenly smiled.

Her gaze remained perfectly calm as she looked at Yu Fan.

But inwardly, she couldn't help growing wary.

This Tang San probably isn't as simple as he looks!

"True. I heard Spirit Hall's young master is a cute girl. Although you look a bit like a little femboy,

"you've got a dick, after all."

"..."

As Xue Qinghe recalled, Spirit Hall had completely suppressed the news that she had awakened Innate Level 20 Soul Power. Even within Spirit Hall, very few people knew about it.

Where on earth did Tang San hear that?

Could it be...

There's a mole who leaked the news?

But that shouldn't be possible...

When she awakened her Martial Soul, she had been in the Angel Temple of the Worship Hall.

Her aptitude had also been tested and found to be of the highest grade.

That meant all six wings had lit up!

If only two wings lit up, one was certain to become a Titled Douluo!

But if four wings lit up, that meant one was the next Great Enshrined, personally chosen by the Angel God!

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji had both had four-wing aptitude!

They were certain to break through to Peak Douluo in the future and pass down the legacy of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Qian Renxue alone...

had all six wings light up, and could inherit the Angel Nine Trials in the future!

As long as she passed the Angel Nine Trials...

she could break through level one hundred and become a god!

She could also fulfill

the long-cherished wish of Spirit Hall's successive Popes to unify the continent.

"Brother Tang, you really are joking. I wonder where you heard this news? I've lived in the imperial palace for a long time, and I've never heard of it."

Xue Qinghe wanted to know where Yu Fan had gotten his information.

She wanted to see whether he had found out himself or really heard it from someone else.

If it was the former, then Yu Fan was truly terrifying.

If it was the latter, then at worst there was a traitor within Spirit Hall.

"Ah, I'm not telling, not telling."

Unfortunately, Yu Fan wasn't falling for Xue Qinghe's trick at all.

Just as he was about to change the subject,

a furious shout suddenly rang out from the woods!

"Brat! Do not harm my master!"

She Long summoned his Snake Lance Martial Soul once more, then charged fiercely at Yu Fan in a suit of golden armor.

"Eighth Soul Skill..."

Before She Long could unleash his eighth Soul Skill,

Yu Fan flashed in front of him and followed up with a heavy punch, smashing it into his face!

"Bang!"

The powerful, weighty punch directly twisted one side of She Long's face out of shape!

The next moment!

"Whoosh!"

She Long flew off once more like a shooting star, returning into the woods from whence he had come.

"Where did that dumbass come from?"

Yu Fan clapped his hands, walked over to Xue Qinghe, and said,

"A gentleman who is not weighty inspires no awe!"

"Do you know what that means?"

"..."

Xue Qinghe wanted very much to say she didn't want to know.

But under threat,

she nodded slightly all the same.

"I don't. Please enlighten me, Brother Tang."

"Translation: when a gentleman hits someone, he must hit hard, or he won't be able to establish his authority."

"Is that really what it means?"

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Xue Qinghe's forehead. Although she had never heard the saying before,

no matter how she listened to it, that didn't sound like what it meant.

After all, she had received a good cultural education from Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

She was unquestionably a cultured person.

"Hmm? Little Brother Xue, are you questioning me?"

Yu Fan rubbed his palms together. Standing before Xue Qinghe, his towering figure was like a mountain.

"..."

Although Xue Qinghe had already begun to show the bearing of a mature beauty, she looked like a loli before Yu Fan.

"Actually, I just thought it over."

"I think what you said makes a great deal of sense, Brother Tang. That's probably, maybe what it means."

She nodded with a serious expression.

[Ding! The host has successfully made Qian Renxue acknowledge your Analects!]

[Rewards obtained: Domain of Tyranny, Unlimited Firepower!]

Domain of Tyranny, Unlimited Firepower?

Yu Fan opened the domain skill's description.

[Detailed description: before the host's Soul Power used to maintain the domain skill is exhausted, the host enters the Unlimited Firepower state. No matter what the host does, not a single drop of Soul Power will be consumed!]

The King Engine plus the Domain of Tyranny...

An undying body and Unlimited Firepower!

This was fucking like stepping on his right foot with his left!

Spiraling up on the spot, riding a rocket into outer space!
