The Spirit Power Crystal Shattered? When Fortune Smiles, Eliminate Your Enemies!

In an instant,

azure light flashed forth.

Just as Lin Du began to wonder whether he possessed Innate Full Soul Power,

the Spirit Power Crystal pressed tightly against him began to tremble irregularly.

Fine, crisp crackling sounds rang out continuously.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the Spirit Power Crystal in an instant.

The next second,

before Lin Du could react,

the Spirit Power Crystal...

exploded!

"Hmm?!"

"What's going on?"

"Could Spirit Power Crystals have defective products too?"

The Spirit Power Crystal turned into fragments and scattered through the air.

Though it did not harm Lin Du,

it still gave him quite a fright.

Unlike Lin Du's quip,

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's expressions changed drastically in an instant.

Even on Qian Daoliu's face,

a trace of excitement could be seen.

For someone who had lived for a hundred years,

anything capable of stirring his emotions

was surely something enough to shake the entirety of Douluo Continent!

"Grandpa,"

"he..."

Qian Renxue recalled the somewhat familiar scene from before.

The Soul Power-wrapped voice no longer carried its former coldness.

"Silence."

"Xue'er,"

"he has Innate Full Soul Power."

"Do you understand?"

Qian Daoliu cut Qian Renxue off.

His eyes allowed no doubt.

"I understand,"

"Grandpa."

Meeting Qian Daoliu's gaze,

Qian Renxue seemed to understand something.

She nodded faintly.

"Innate Full Soul Power."

"Not bad potential."

"Are you willing to join Spirit Hall?"

Qian Daoliu then looked at Lin Du.

Besides his usual gentleness,

there was also a hint of fervor in his eyes.

"I am."

Lin Du did not hesitate.

He immediately nodded in agreement.

Although for some people,

Spirit Hall was synonymous with evil,

Lin Du had his own judgment.

Besides, he was someone who repaid kindness.

Qian Daoliu had appeared in his moment of danger and helped him awaken his Martial Soul successfully.

Naturally, he had to repay that favor.

"Good!"

"Come."

"Return to Douluo Hall with me."

Seeing Lin Du nod without a moment's hesitation,

Qian Daoliu's smile widened.

He immediately intended to take Lin Du away.

"Esteemed Elder,"

"could you spare me some time?"

"I have some personal matters to deal with."

However, just as Qian Daoliu intended to take Lin Du away,

Lin Du shook his head and refused.

"Grandpa was originally supposed to spend today with me."

"He has already wasted plenty of time on you."

"I hope you will not push your luck."

Qian Renxue's voice was clear and cold.

A trace of displeasure appeared

on her exquisitely beautiful face.

"It is no matter."

"Handle it as you please."

Qian Daoliu waved his hand to indicate that Lin Du should take care of it.

He then began quietly comforting the sulking Qian Renxue.

"It will not take long."

Leaving behind words that could have been meant for either Qian Daoliu or Qian Renxue,

Lin Du walked step by step toward Guo Kai in the crowd.

He did repay kindness,

but by the same token,

he repaid every grievance in full.

"Young Master Guo,"

"Lin Du seems to be coming over!"

"He is not planning to take revenge, is he?!"

"What do we do?!"

Watching Lin Du approach step by step,

Guo Kai's lackeys grew even more panicked.

They instinctively tried to hide behind Guo Kai.

"He is coming over, so what?"

"What are you panicking for?!"

Guo Kai shoved aside the lackey trying to hide behind him.

He forced himself to remain calm as he watched Lin Du draw closer.

"Lin Du,"

"it has nothing to do with me!"

"Guo Kai was the one who ordered me to do it!"

One lackey could no longer bear Lin Du's cold gaze.

His mental defenses collapsed.

With a single leap, he jumped aside,

drawing a clear line between himself and Guo Kai.

"Get lost."

Lin Du had no interest in making a move against trash who would never become Spirit Masters.

Seeing that he was at least sensible,

he immediately told him to get lost.

"I'm leaving."

"I'm leaving right now!"

The lackey felt as if a great burden had been lifted.

He once again put more distance between himself and Guo Kai.

"Monkey,"

"I, Guo Kai, will remember this!"

Fury flashed in Guo Kai's eyes.

He glared fixedly at the scrawny lackey who had drawn a line between them.

"You should worry about getting past Lin Du first!"

Monkey craned his neck.

In his heart, he was already silently cheering Lin Du on.

"I am only dealing with Guo Kai."

"If you want to leave, leave now."

"Otherwise, do not blame my sword for having no eyes."

Lin Du stretched out his right hand.

A flash of light passed by.

The Red-Hilted Silver-Bladed Dragon Ascending Sword appeared in his palm.

How could a group of opportunists possibly be loyal to Guo Kai?

As soon as Lin Du finished speaking,

the lackeys who had just been gathered around Guo Kai scattered one after another,

drawing a clear line between themselves and Guo Kai.

"Hurry up and release your Martial Soul."

"Do not waste any more of my time."

Holding the Dragon Ascending Sword, Lin Du walked step by step toward Guo Kai.

His gaze grew increasingly cold.

"Lin Du!"

"Do not get smug!"

"Before unlocking a Martial Soul Avatar,"

"Weapon Spirits have always been weaker than Beast Spirits!"

"Even if you have Innate Full Soul Power,"

"you may not necessarily be able to defeat me!"

Guo Kai's voice gradually turned into a roar.

The phantom of a gigantic bear with crimson flames burning around both arms appeared behind him,

silently roaring at Lin Du.

Although he could not use Martial Soul Possession before obtaining a Spirit Ring,

the newly awakened Beast Spirit still granted Guo Kai a powerful physique.

His body became lighter,

and his strength became immense.

Considering the gap in Soul Power between himself and Lin Du,

Guo Kai, having summoned his Martial Soul, chose to strike first.

He quickly stepped forward several times.

With a flicker of his body, he had already appeared before Lin Du.

His arms, wrapped in Soul Power, fiercely clapped toward Lin Du's head in a double-ear strike,

clearly intending to kill him.

Facing Guo Kai's attack,

Lin Du neither dodged nor evaded.

He raised the Dragon Ascending Sword, gripped tightly in both hands, high above his head.

He slashed viciously down at Guo Kai.

The next second,

A towering phantom more than ten meters tall appeared behind Lin Du,

Mimicking Lin Du's movements,

The enormous sword in its hand, even larger than Guo Kai's Explosive Fire Bear Martial Soul, came crashing down as well.

After just one exchange,

Guo Kai let out a scream and was sent flying,

The phantom of his Martial Soul behind him vanished as well.

He crashed heavily to the ground,

Letting out another shrill scream.

Although Guo Kai's injuries did not appear particularly severe,

A shallow bloody mark had appeared across his face and body,

The bloody mark became a dividing line,

Splitting him neatly in two,

Making him look savage and terrifying!

Just as everyone thought the victor had been decided,

Lin Du walked toward Guo Kai step by step,

Clearly having no intention of ending things there.

Before long,

Lin Du stopped in front of Guo Kai,

Holding the Dragon Ascending Sword loosely in his hand,

Its naturally lowered tip pointed directly at Guo Kai's Dantian.

Realizing what Lin Du intended to do,

Guo Kai's eyes filled with terror,

Ignoring the pain wracking his body,

He humbly begged Lin Du for mercy,

"I know I was wrong, Lin Du!"

"Spare my life,"

"I'll never dare oppose you again!"

But Lin Du ignored Guo Kai's pleas,

And merely said,

"You don't know you were wrong,"

"You only know you're about to lose,"

"Don't be nervous,"

"I won't kill you,"

"I'm merely returning the favor,"

"You wanted to strip me of my right to awaken a Martial Soul,"

"Then I'll strip you of your right to become a Spirit Master,"

"Fair enough,"

"Isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Lin Du stabbed down without hesitation,

"No!"

"Don't!"

"Uncle Jerev, save me!"

Guo Kai struggled desperately,

Like a grass carp flapping helplessly on a chopping board,

He even desperately called out to Jerev for help,

But none of it could stop the blade gleaming with cold light!

Accompanied by the sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh,

Guo Kai's shrill scream and warm crimson blood erupted at the same time,

The next second,

Guo Kai's Dantian became like a punctured balloon,

His Soul Power dispersed at a visible rate,

The double blow to his body and mind was more than Guo Kai could bear,

His head lolled to one side, and he passed out.
