Wild Purple Pearl
"Little brother, I'll give you two choices—"
The Zi Zhenzhu, Martial Soul Possession, spat out the snake apricot, and the human tongue, under the influence of the Martial Soul, split into two halves, quite agile.
"If you want me to send you back to Vast Sea City, then make the three of them my women."
"Either conquer me."
Zhou Qing looked at Ariel.
"We can't beat them."
Ariel had also been seriously injured before and had not fully recovered. If she were in the water, she might still have a fighting chance, but Zi Zhenzhu obviously learned about her "mermaid" identity from Heidel and had been on guard against her before Zhou Qing and Tang San came.
Therefore, if she were to participate in the battle, she would definitely be subject to the rules imposed by Zi Zhenzhu.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't press the matter and asked Zi Zhenzhu, "Can you accept being ganged up on, or can we use weapons that aren't Martial Soul?"
"No, one-on-one."
Zi Zhenzhu grinned, "However, since you are children, I won't use my Soul Skill."
In the Soul Master World, the rule has always been that the Strong Reign Supreme.
No matter what the problem is, as long as there is a Soul Fight, all the problems can be solved... Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it can definitely solve most of the problems.
This unwritten rule is probably because Soul Master don't really like to use their brains.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Zi Zhenzhu's desire to have a one-on-one duel with Zhou Qing was not a whim, but rather an attempt to understand what abilities this child, who was only six or seven years old but was incredibly mature both physically and mentally, possessed that allowed him to claim he could offer blessings to the entire continent.
"Okay, one-on-one it is!"
Zhou Qing agreed and disembarked.
On the beach.
The crew of the Zi Zhenzhu all stopped what they were doing and gathered around to cheer on their captain.
"Has the captain changed his mind? Why is he interested in boys?"
"That's normal! After all, women can only make love with each other!"
"Exactly! Young boys are easier to raise!"
"······"
Listening to the lewd remarks of the nearby crew members and villagers, Zhou Qing noticed that Zi Zhenzhu didn't seem to care at all, and his eyes twitched involuntarily. "This woman is quite the player! But she doesn't reprimand the crew members for their gossip, which makes her seem quite open-minded... Hmm, it's also possible that she actually has a side similar to Romantina inside her."
"What are you muttering about?"
Zi Zhenzhu beckoned to Zhou Qing, spitting out snake apricots, and said somewhat impatiently, "Hurry up and release your Martial Soul, let me see what you're capable of!"
"As you wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his Blood Circulation System Martial Soul overlapped with his original Blood Circulation System. The Nine Revolutions Years Dragon Gu, which had reached the Second Revolution Realm, also circulated throughout his body along with his blood, allowing the injuries on his body to heal completely in a short time.
[I never imagined the Nine Revolutions Years Dragon Gu had this effect!]
Zhou Qing was secretly delighted.
However, he also noticed that after his injuries healed, he felt a bit hungry, which was obviously because he had used up Qi and Blood energy to repair his injuries.
"Two Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"
However, after Zi Zhenzhu noticed Zhou Qing's two Soul Rings, her Vertical Pupil stared straight at Zhou Qing's brow, but she didn't see any mark.
She was certain that Zhou Qing had not come from Sea God Island!
But why are his First Spirit Ring and Second Spirit Ring at the thousand-year level? And why are his Soul Ring more elaborate than ordinary Soul Ring, with Red Pattern of bull horns and rabbits?
"Have you been tested by other gods?" Zi Zhenzhu's eyes turned serious.
"No."
Zhou Qing suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the identity of this Zi Zhenzhu.
Her identity as a pirate was insignificant.
The problem is—
Did the Zi Zhenzhu originate from Sea God Island?
If so, with her cultivation aptitude, she could reach the Soul King level around the age of twenty... This talent is completely comparable to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall!
There was no way she could leave Sea God Island.
Furthermore, judging from the fact that Zi Zhenzhu does not have the Star-Shaped Mark of the Sea God Trial between her eyebrows, or the Sea God's Mark, she must not be from Sea God Island.
In other words, Zi Zhenzhu may never have set foot on the land of Sea God Island. As for the Sea God's test, she could only have learned about it from people like Jixiang and Ruyi, who were forced to leave Sea God Island due to their Innate Soul Power Sea God Trial.
However, she immediately suspected that Zhou Qing's first two Soul Rings were special because he had undergone tests by other Deity.
Zi Zhenzhu knew of, or had heard of, the existence of other Deity!
"Then how did you manage to absorb a thousand-year-level Soul Ring with your First Spirit Ring?" Zi Zhenzhu became increasingly puzzled.
"We simply discovered the connection between Soul Ring and Martial Soul and conducted corresponding experiments," Zhou Qing said succinctly, as two purple Soul Ring flashed simultaneously.
The instant the Soul Ring transformed into a Soul Disk, Zhou Qing moved. In almost the time it takes to breathe, he crossed the twenty-meter distance and arrived in front of Zi Zhenzhu.
"Such speed!"
Zi Zhenzhu dared not be careless. She twisted her waist, her right leg standing still, while her left leg lashed out at Zhou Qing like a long whip.
Snap!
The whip cracked through the air, but it didn't hit Zhou Qing. Instead, he dodged it by leaning back.
At the same time, Zhou Qing used the momentum of running to stop his legs, dodging the attack. He straightened his body and his fists shot out like cannonballs, striking Zi Zhenzhu, who was facing sideways with her back to him due to the momentum of her kick.
"Not good!"
When Zi Zhenzhu tried to turn around, it was too late.
The instant her fists struck Zi Zhenzhu, a tremendous force surged through her body, sending her flying backward.
But no matter what, Zi Zhenzhu was Soul King level expert. Her Soul Power circulated rapidly within her body, suppressing that strange force. She spun three times in the air, leaving two marks about four or five meters long on the sand, before standing steadily.
His face was flushed because he was forcibly suppressing that force.
Zhou Qing did not press his advantage, but waited for Zi Zhenzhu to recover, and then beckoned to her, signaling her to make a move.
"You wretched brat, how dare you look down on me!"
Zi Zhenzhu, who was already hot-tempered, could not stand such Taunt. She stomped her foot hard on the sand, and her First Spirit Ring, Second Spirit Ring, and Third Spirit Ring flashed in succession.
She actually used Soul Skill!
However, Zhou Qing did not expect Zi Zhenzhu to completely abide by the rules before the battle. He simply stood still, hunched over and with his legs bent, always on guard against the opponent's next move, remaining unchanged in the face of any eventuality.
Zhou Qing had also guessed some of the skill effects of Zi Zhenzhu's first three Soul Rings: they were all amplification-type.
Her First Soul Skill made the scales on her body even tighter, and the gray-blue scales shimmered with a Sisi silver light—
Strengthen defenses and improve physical fitness.
The effect of her Second Soul Skill was that her eyes emitted a Sisi purple light, and her two tiger teeth on her upper jaw grew longer—
It should be an improvement in the ability to see clearly and use venomous fangs.
The biggest change occurred after this third Soul Skill was applied to her—
Her legs were pressed together, her skin was pressed together, and her scales were connected, forming a snake tail that was about five or six meters long!
How wild!
