Immediately afterward, Qian Chaoyun asked Sky Dream Ice Silkworm whether he had heard any sounds or conversations.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm knew nothing and thought Qian Chaoyun was making fun of him.
Only then did Qian Chaoyun let out a sigh of relief.
So the system had a hidden function that blocked prying eyes.
Qian Chaoyun immediately asked, "What functions do you have?"
[Ding! This system is the Define Evil Soul System, created specifically to serve you.] [Only function: Kill Evil Spirit Masters to obtain rewards. Fighting can also earn rewards.] [Define Soul Curse: An evil kind belongs with evil, too lazy to speak to the unworthy, accept judgment. (Using this soul curse will define a target as an Evil Spirit Master, including Soul Beasts, Soul Masters, and other creatures. This will initiate combat, and rewards will be granted regardless of victory or defeat.)] [Warning: If the selected creature is not in an evil state after the soul curse is spoken, its sinful side will be briefly awakened.] [Rewards are as follows: Below Five Rings: Soul Power rewards, post-battle summary.] [Above Five Rings: Attribute enhancement, unlimited enhancement.] [Above Seven Rings: Soul Bone rewards, unlimited fusion of multiple Soul Bones.] [Note: If the defined target is not a genuine Evil Spirit Master, only a small portion of the rewards can be obtained.]
After gaining a basic understanding of the system's functions, a panel appeared before Qian Chaoyun's eyes.
This system was not the overwhelmingly powerful kind. It really had been tailor-made for an Angel Soul Master.
Simply put, Qian Chaoyun could define any creature as an Evil Spirit Master and enter a combat phase. Whether he killed it or merely fought it, he could obtain rewards.
If the chosen target was not a true Evil Spirit Master, it would awaken that creature's evil side and enter combat to gain rewards.
Whether a creature was an Evil Spirit Master or not was entirely up to him.
This system cheat was not ridiculously overpowered, but it gave him a chance to contend with Tang San.
The system was also simple to use. He only needed to recite the Define Soul Curse to activate it.
Qian Chaoyun could not wait to test the system's power, and his gaze turned toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Finding a thousand-year Soul Beast to test his skills on would do.
With that thought, Qian Chaoyun entered the Core Area of the outskirts and began searching for a Soul Beast to test the system on.
"Brat, what are you going there for?"
Tian Meng in the Sea of Consciousness instantly grew anxious when he saw this and hurriedly tried to stop Qian Chaoyun.
The Star Dou Great Forest was full of dangers. Wasn't a mere four rings Soul Master walking in there simply courting death?
Qian Chaoyun smiled faintly. "I'm testing a soul skill."
"Fine, then!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had thought the boy was heading into the Core Area to train and had nearly been scared out of his wits.
Given Qian Chaoyun's current strength, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was still quite reassured as long as he did not seek out Soul Beasts with supreme bloodlines.
After all, he possessed the Sacred Angel martial soul.
Before long, Qian Chaoyun vanished from where he stood and entered the Core Area of the Star Dou outskirts in the blink of an eye.
The Core Area of the outskirts was home to thousand-year Soul Beasts, though traces of Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts could occasionally appear. As long as one was careful enough, many dangers could still be avoided.
Qian Chaoyun's figure drifted through the air.
It was his first time experiencing the feeling of flight, and he found himself enjoying it somewhat.
At the same time, his eyes remained fixed on the ground below as he searched for a suitable Soul Beast to attack.
A thousand-year Wind Baboon was too weak.
A two-thousand-year Crimson Fire Monkey was barely acceptable, but it was not his ideal target.
After circling around for a while, Qian Chaoyun finally discovered a Man Faced Demon Spider in a swamp.
Judging by its size, it had already reached the three-thousand-year level.
The Man Faced Demon Spider had caught a Soft Bone Rabbit and was currently devouring it.
"You're the one, Man Faced Demon Spider."
Qian Chaoyun drew the Angel Holy Sword and recited the Soul Curse. "An evil kind belongs with evil, too lazy to speak to the unworthy, accept judgment."
The instant the curse left his lips, the feeding Man Faced Demon Spider noticed Qian Chaoyun. Its eyes abruptly turned blood-red, carrying a trace of dark chilliness.
In only an instant, the Man Faced Demon Spider went berserk.
Qian Chaoyun's pupils shrank sharply. He had known the soul curse would trigger a Soul Beast's evil side, but he had not expected it to be this violent!
It had gone completely mad. Wasn't the system screwing him over?
As Qian Chaoyun turned around, he suddenly realized something. On the surface, it was strengthening the Soul Beast, but in reality, it was amplifying his own abilities.
What did Evil Spirit Masters fear most?
What did evil creatures fear most?
Naturally, it was the aura of the Holy Attribute, and Sacred Angels were the embodiment of the Holy Attribute.
Thinking of that, Qian Chaoyun revealed a triumphant smile. He raised the Angel Holy Sword and shouted, "I could tell at a glance that you're no ordinary creature. Accept judgment, Evil Soul Beast!"
As soon as his words fell, an Angel Divine Shadow appeared behind Qian Chaoyun, its six wings slowly beating.
The moment the terrifying Angel's Light shone down, the charging Man Faced Demon Spider let out a pained roar.
It was the first time it had experienced such agony that pierced deep into its bones.
The Holy Attribute's restraint on it should not have been that strong, yet at this moment, it was like complete suppression from the food chain, weakening all of its abilities.
In that opening, Qian Chaoyun wielded the Angel Holy Sword and shot toward the Man Faced Demon Spider like a streak of light.
The Angel Domain instantly spread out, raising all attributes of the Angel Soul Master.
Pfft!
Qian Chaoyun pierced through the Man Faced Demon Spider's lower abdomen, severing one of its legs. Pitch-black blood immediately gushed out.
From the wound cut by the Holy Sword, blood continued to pour out without end.
"Wuu~"
The Man Faced Demon Spider let out a pained groan. The agony pierced its heart, and the human face beneath its abdomen twisted into a savage expression.
The next moment, the Man Faced Demon Spider launched a counterattack, spewing massive amounts of poisonous spiderwebs from its mouthparts.
Relying on his absolute advantage in the sky, Qian Chaoyun continuously dodged the poisonous webs.
At the same time, the First Soul Ring and Third Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.
First soul skill, Sky Soaring Consecutive Slashes: It formed sword blades that locked onto the target and continuously attacked, stacking wounds.
Third soul skill, Sacred Battle Intent: It manifested armor and a breastplate, increasing all attributes by 50%. It also awakened battle intent, making him stronger the longer he fought until reaching his body's limit.
The two soul skills combined to form a chained soul skill.
Qian Chaoyun continuously darted around the Man Faced Demon Spider, swinging the Angel Holy Sword as terrifying blades slashed down without pause.
In an instant, four of the Man Faced Demon Spider's eight legs had been cut off, black blood spraying everywhere.
It roared continuously, attacking with venom and spiderwebs.
Yet the moment the venom touched the Holy Sword, it transformed into Black Qi and completely dissipated.
Poison was utterly useless against an Angel Soul Master.
With the dual enhancement of the Angel Domain and Sacred Battle Intent, Qian Chaoyun was like a flying God of War, leaving wounds on the Man Faced Demon Spider with every strike.
Eventually, Qian Chaoyun felt the burden on his body becoming too great. He could barely endure the combat power boost from his battle intent, and even the hand gripping his sword was trembling slightly.
He decisively raised the Holy Sword, gathered his Soul Power, and unleashed a Cross Slash.
In an instant, a radiance like broad daylight illuminated the Core Area of the outskirts.
When Qian Chaoyun landed again, the Man Faced Demon Spider had already lost all signs of life.
Immediately afterward, a streak of white light shot out from the corpse and entered Qian Chaoyun's body. A message also appeared on the panel before him: [Soul Power Increased].
The feedback was not much—only one-tenth of a level.
Even so, Qian Chaoyun revealed a delighted smile. This tailor-made system makes me feel like I've entered a world of motorcycles.
By defining creatures as evil souls, I can decide whether a creature is an Evil Spirit Master. Even if it isn't, I can awaken its evil side and suppress it through attribute restraint.
This system is absurdly powerful! Even if my opponent isn't an Evil Spirit Master, as long as I define them as one, then they are one, and I can suppress them throughout the entire battle.
One day, couldn't I define Asura God Tang San as an Evil Spirit Master?
With that thought in mind, Qian Chaoyun directly experienced just how powerful this cheat was.
This system was sinister beyond measure!
What right did you have to prove that you were not an Evil Spirit Master? Whether you were one or not was not for you to decide. Only he had the final say.
Meanwhile, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had watched the entire battle, was dumbfounded.
This... this was way too absurd!
Were Soul Masters of the Sacred Angel lineage all this monstrously powerful in combat?
Still, it seemed like he deserved some credit too.
Without his origin essence, this boy could not possibly have grown this quickly.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm praised him, "Kid, you're impressive! You took down a three-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider all by yourself. Your combat experience and combat power are incredible.
"With soul skills this strong, I can't even imagine how you ended up losing to Evil Spirit Masters back then."
Qian Chaoyun fell into thought.
It seemed the original owner of this body had gone alone to attack the Evil Spirit Masters' main stronghold and had died there.
He could only reply, "I was probably careless."
As he spoke, Qian Chaoyun put away the Holy Sword and prepared to leave Star Dou.
He was currently in the Core Area of the Star Dou outskirts. Another kilometer ahead was the true Core Area, where Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts could appear at any time.
Although Qian Chaoyun was feeling rather inflated, he was not so inflated that he believed he could kill a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast alone.
If he really ran into trouble, he would still have to run.
However, not long after Qian Chaoyun left, a beastly roar rang out from the Star Dou Core Area.
"Kid, run! That's the aura of a Fierce Beast!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly urged Qian Chaoyun to flee from within the Sea of Consciousness.
Did he need to tell him that?
The six wings behind Qian Chaoyun beat once, and he instantly vanished from where he stood.
The Fierce Beast was not coming for him, but he was still afraid of dying.
Just as he was fleeing for his life, a fiery-red figure suddenly shot out from the dense forest behind him and wrapped her arms around Qian Chaoyun.
"Who is it?!"
Qian Chaoyun reacted as though someone had stepped on his tail and hurriedly looked back. He discovered that the person clinging to him was actually a girl with long fiery-red hair flowing loose behind her, blood still at the corner of her lips.
He recognized her at a glance.
Wasn't this fucking Ma Xiaotao from Shrek?
How had he run into her here?
Before he could think further, the weak and exhausted Ma Xiaotao said feebly, "Take me away... quickly..."
Qian Chaoyun wanted to curse.
This woman was holding him too tightly. He could not shake her off, and her Soul Power was actually higher than his.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly urged, "Take her with you! If the Fierce Beast catches up, we'll all die here together."
Qian Chaoyun had no choice but to take Ma Xiaotao with him as he left.
Before you continue
