Brief Transmigration (3)

Time flew by. As the sun rose, Zhao Xiaotian had just finished washing up after getting out of bed when he heard someone knocking outside. The moment he opened the door, he saw Liu Erlong's beautiful phoenix eyes.

Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "So early?"

Liu Erlong smiled as well. "You're up early too! Let's have breakfast together. This inn sells breakfast."

Zhao Xiaotian nodded. After gathering his personal belongings, he followed Liu Erlong downstairs. Since the single rooms were on the third floor, they had to pass through the double-room floor before reaching the dining area on the first floor.

After ordering, Zhao Xiaotian and Liu Erlong sat down at a table. Before breakfast arrived, they spotted the still half-asleep Flender and Yu Xiaogang.

When the two saw Zhao Xiaotian and Liu Erlong, they came over to greet them. Flender greeted Zhao Xiaotian casually, but when he greeted Liu Erlong, his face was full of fawning flattery.

Yu Xiaogang was different. He had always felt that Zhao Xiaotian joining them on their journey would be a very bad thing, but since he was the weakest member of the team, he had no standing to make Zhao Xiaotian leave.

After greeting Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang sat to one side. He felt certain that Liu Erlong would not forget to order breakfast for him and Flender, so he confidently took out the book he had compiled, "Ten Core Competencies," from his Soul Tool and began reading.

As a devoted bootlicker, Flender naturally did not assume that the goddess would order breakfast for him. Instead, he went to order food himself. Before doing so, he glanced at Yu Xiaogang sitting there reading and assumed he was not hungry, so he did not order anything for him.

Before long, all their breakfasts arrived. After Yu Xiaogang finished reading, he looked at Flender, Zhao Xiaotian, and Liu Erlong. Each of them had a bowl of preserved egg and lean pork congee before them, while he alone had nothing. Yu Xiaogang glared furiously at the three of them as they drank their congee.

Though angry inside, he still blamed everything on Zhao Xiaotian. Yu Xiaogang resolved to find a way to make Zhao Xiaotian get out of the team.

Soon, the three finished breakfast, packed up casually, and left the inn. The four headed together toward the nearest village, intending to buy some vegetables grown by the villagers.

But the moment they arrived at a place called Rainbow Village, they were stunned. Corpses lay all around the village, and the houses were still burning.

The four immediately summoned their martial souls and became alert. In an instant, seven or eight black shadows flickered within the village, carrying a faint scent of blood.

Liu Erlong erupted into action and charged inside. Her martial soul was the Fire Dragon, and its influence had made her temperament exceptionally violent.

Especially with corpses strewn everywhere, the enraged Liu Erlong charged in directly, activating her martial soul and unleashing one soul skill after another.

When Zhao Xiaotian and Yu Xiaogang saw one of the black-clad men Liu Erlong had killed, they exclaimed in unison, "Evil Soul Masters!"

Flender and Zhao Xiaotian immediately activated their martial souls and soul rings. Flender's Soul Power Level was sixty-one, and his agility attack-type talent was fairly decent.

But Zhao Xiaotian's soul ring configuration gave both Yu Xiaogang and Flender a fright. It was not the standard yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black arrangement like Flender's.

Zhao Xiaotian had three soul rings: purple, black, and black. This heaven-defying configuration instantly shattered Yu Xiaogang's worldview, especially when he recalled the soul master soul ring charts he had seen at Spirit Hall.

Zhao Xiaotian ignored the two of them. His second soul skill activated, and a long spear condensed in his hand. Seeing this, Flender put away his astonishment and entered a combat state.

Liu Erlong's Soul Power Level was only in the fifties, and she had little Soul Power left. Seeing this, Zhao Xiaotian did not hesitate to use Lightning Step and rush inside.

Along the way, Zhao Xiaotian swung the spear in his hand, batting every soul skill the Evil Soul Masters launched at him back at them as though he were playing baseball. The Evil Soul Masters could only focus on dodging their own attacks.

Zhao Xiaotian appeared beside Liu Erlong and planted his spear into the ground, standing like a mighty general. Liu Erlong's face flushed as she watched Zhao Xiaotian standing firmly before her.

Among these seven Evil Soul Masters, the weakest was a Soul Ancestor, while the strongest was a Soul Emperor. The Evil Soul Masters surrounded Liu Erlong and Zhao Xiaotian, chanting incantations as purple evil energy coiled around their bodies.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaotian's third soul ring flashed. "Third Soul Skill! Tai Chi Ground Suppression!"

As Zhao Xiaotian unleashed Tai Chi Ground Suppression, the physical abilities of both him and Liu Erlong increased by twenty percent, while the Soul Power Zhao Xiaotian consumed when using soul skills alone was reduced by twenty percent.

In an instant, Zhao Xiaotian raised his spear and thrust it toward the Evil Soul Ancestor. Seeing this, the strongest Evil Soul Emperor flashed in front of the Evil Soul Ancestor and extended his palm to block it.

Only a sharp clang was heard, like a spear striking steel.

Zhao Xiaotian instantly changed his grip and stabbed the Evil Soul Emperor in the kidney. The Evil Soul Emperor screamed and roared, "You damned brat!"

Zhao Xiaotian pulled back his spear. "Compared to me, you're more of a beast than any beast!"

"Good, brat! Today, I'll kill you, drink your blood, and eat your flesh!"

Zhao Xiaotian replied coldly, "Then let's see whether you lot can do it!"

Zhao Xiaotian immediately charged forward with his spear. As a series of metallic clangs rang out, the Evil Soul Emperor struggled to fend off every one of Zhao Xiaotian's attacks.

With their overwhelming Soul Power, Liu Erlong and Flender killed the remaining Evil Soul Masters, leaving only the Evil Soul Emperor who was fighting Zhao Xiaotian.

But what astonished Flender and Liu Erlong was that Zhao Xiaotian was not at a disadvantage in the slightest. Instead, he was completely suppressing the Evil Soul Emperor.

Even during battle, Zhao Xiaotian continued pushing his limits, reaching the point where he could create a new skill on his own.

As Zhao Xiaotian's Soul Power steadily drained away, the Evil Soul Emperor seized an opening. He reached out, grabbed Zhao Xiaotian's spear, and flung it with all his strength.

Bang! Zhao Xiaotian was smashed into the wall of a house. The Evil Soul Emperor pressed his advantage, unleashing his evil soul skill toward Zhao Xiaotian.

Liu Erlong could no longer sit still and wanted to rush over to save Zhao Xiaotian. But just as she took a step, Flender stopped her. "I can feel a powerful flow of Soul Power!"

In the distance, black and white light appeared where Zhao Xiaotian had crashed. Those two rays of light came from Zhao Xiaotian's eyes.

Holding his spear, Zhao Xiaotian said, "My Soul Power Level has broken through to thirty-five! And I feel completely refreshed. The signals from my body tell me that I can create a soul skill of my own."

The Evil Soul Emperor sneered. "Hehehe! You're merely having a final burst before death. So what if you can create a soul skill? You still cannot escape the fate of death! Hehehe!"

Zhao Xiaotian sneered, tossing his spear into the air as he formed hand seals. "Then have a taste of my Self-Created Soul Skill!"

As the light in Zhao Xiaotian's eyes flashed more intensely, he said, "Soul Skill: When the Long Spear Moves, Heavenly Thunderfall!"
