Copying Skills Back and Forth! A Gesture of Friendship?

"Was that... Yan's soul skill?"

"Xiao Xuan just now, did he say 'replicate'?"

"I never thought an ability like this could exist in the world."

"What a monster! The title is well deserved!"

When Granite Armor covered his body, the onlookers erupted in amazement once more.

Even though everyone present was among Spirit Hall's finest students.

Compared to Xiao Xuan, however, they were no different from ordinary soul masters.

Whether it was his Three Lives Martial Soul, his exceptionally high Innate Full Spirit Power, or those unheard-of abilities.

All of it lay beyond everyone's understanding.

Not to mention them—even Bibi Dong, the Pope herself.

If Xiao Xuan had not shocked her so greatly, why would she have tacitly allowed him to get close to Hu Liena?

"Damn it! That's my skill!"

"Xie Yue, be careful! You can't cut through it so directly!"

Unlike everyone else's amazement, Yan, as the person involved.

Watched his own skill get copied.

His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to roar.

But before the words could leave his lips, he had already noticed Xie Yue's attack being thwarted.

As both close friends and partners who worked together seamlessly.

He retained some of his rationality and immediately forced down his anger.

Instead, he tried to tell Xie Yue about its weakness.

Who could understand the principles of Granite Armor better than him?

Unfortunately, he was still one step too late.

Before the two could exchange any information, Xiao Xuan had already moved.

Using the momentum of his charge, he arrived before Xie Yue.

He did not even need to use a skill, simply swinging a slap straight at Xie Yue's face.

One had to know that this was a fist enhanced by a soul skill.

Even with Xie Yue's physical strength as a level-thirty-five Soul Elder.

Taking a slap like that directly to the face was absolutely unbearable.

At once, snot and saliva flew everywhere.

His expression twisted, his head spun, and he was sent flying backward.

He crashed miserably onto the ground, white foam lightly spilling from his mouth as his body twitched faintly.

He had actually been knocked unconscious by a single slap from Xiao Xuan?

"Boss was instantly defeated?"

"Isn't this a little... too absurd?"

"Could Xiao Xuan really be strong enough to take on two opponents alone?"

"Those were two Soul Elders in their thirties!"

"And this guy is only six. When I was six, I was still..."

After all, this was not a fight to the death, so the rules were not that strict.

Seeing that Xie Yue had already lost consciousness.

Li Kai, Sun Chuantao, and the others hurried over to help him up.

As they carried him aside to "treat" him, they kept talking animatedly.

Xiao Xuan's attack had simply been too stunning!

Even Li Kai, whose Black Horn Mountain Boar Martial Soul had been instantly defeated in one move.

Somehow felt a little more balanced inside.

See? Even the boss had been beaten into that state.

What was so surprising about me getting instantly defeated by Xiao Xuan?

At last, the others would no longer mock him over what had happened before!

"Right! His level!"

"We didn't notice before—what level did Xiao Xuan say he was?"

"Twenty-nine? Right, level twenty-nine!"

"I'm going to puke. He reached this level at six years old, and he even has an absurdly powerful Three Lives Martial Soul."

"How can such a freak even exist in this world? Are the rest of us supposed to live?"

At that moment, everyone gradually came back to their senses.

Then they suddenly recalled Xiao Xuan introducing himself before the fight.

He seemed to have mentioned that he was already level twenty-nine.

Did that not mean that, aside from Xie Yue and Yan, everyone here was trash?

And that was without even counting the disparity in talent represented by their age difference.

Comparing people could drive one to death; comparing goods meant throwing the lesser ones away!

"Hmph, so what?"

"Just because you copied my skill, does that mean you understand it better than I do?"

"Then I'll defeat you myself and prove that Nana chose the wrong person!"

Ignoring the surrounding discussion, Yan's expression grew increasingly savage.

He took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and prepared to fight again.

Though his teammate had gone down quickly, he would not give up.

At the very least, judging from what had just happened.

Xiao Xuan's Divine Power Enhancement only amplified his strength, and it was not enough to break through Granite Armor.

That meant his only option had to be Thunder Summon.

An energy-based attack would not break through his defense so easily.

Unless the difference in their strength was too great!

As he thought this, Xiao Xuan had already turned around.

Facing the wildly thinking Yan, he closed in again the next second.

It seemed he had no intention of using Thunder Summon at all?

"You were about to tell Xie Yue about Granite Armor's weakness, weren't you?"

"Although you never said it, I already know."

"This kind of turtle shell is best broken from the inside."

"Failing that, focus all your attacks on a single point."

"Our levels aren't that far apart, so naturally, this cannot be called absolute defense!"

As Xiao Xuan spoke, he stopped in front of Yan.

Before Yan could activate a skill to counterattack, Giant Soldier's enormous phantom.

Actually began moving as though it possessed life under the stimulation of Soul Power.

A fist as large as a clay pot formed a shadow between its five fingers out of thin air.

The shadow gradually solidified, turning into a crescent-shaped blade.

At a glance, it looked rather similar to Xie Yue's Martial Soul itself?

But had anyone ever seen Giant Soldier wielding a weapon and personally entering the fray to beat someone up?

The Soul Power-formed Moon Blade stabbed heavily into the Granite Armor.

Even Yan stood frozen for a moment, unable to react at all.

Only when the overwhelming pressure fed back from the surface of his skin.

Did he finally realize what was happening, but it was already too late.

That's right!

Xiao Xuan's slap at Xie Yue had not merely been a simple beating.

At the same time, he had replicated his skill.

To attack just now, Xie Yue had used two skills in total.

They were his first soul skill, Slash, and his third soul skill, Break.

The former enhanced attack power, while the latter enhanced penetration.

And Xiao Xuan had happened to copy the skill, "Break."

The replicated Moon Blade, combined with its penetrating enhancement and the boost from Divine Power Enhancement.

Then fueled by Xiao Xuan's explosive Soul Power through the phantom of Giant Soldier.

When it smashed down on a single point, the damage was far more than simply one plus one plus one.

Yan felt his chest tighten, nearly coughing up a mouthful of blood.

On the surface of the granite, where the spectral Moon Blade had struck.

Cracks gradually spread, expanding from a single point across the entire surface.

Finally, after more than ten seconds of stalemate.

It completely shattered like a collapsing dam, exposing the figure cowering inside.

"That was close. I almost couldn't hold on."

"Skill Replication really puts an enormous strain on me."

"Copying Granite Armor just now had felt manageable."

"But replicating Xie Yue's third soul skill had already exceeded the limit."

"On top of that, the skill has a hidden side effect—the Soul Power required to use a copied skill doubles."

"If Innate Full Spirit Power had not given me such a deep reserve."

"I might not have lasted until Yan's shield broke."

"Just as expected... I leveled up too quickly, so my foundation really is somewhat unstable."

"What Bibi Dong said before was right. As expected of the judgment of a Titled Douluo."

Feeling the Soul Power in his body gradually begin to run dry.

Xiao Xuan pondered silently, already forming a plan.

After joining the Spirit Hall Battle Team.

He would need to make use of the excellent environment around him to settle down for a while and digest his current gains.

Of course, he first had to defeat this guy.

Upholding the principles of fairness and impartiality, Xiao Xuan did not play favorites.

Just as he had done to Xie Yue, he fiercely slapped Yan across the face...
