A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear with over four hundred thousand years of cultivation couldn't withstand even one of his moves.
If those watching the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking were merely astonished, then Qian Renxue and She Long, who had witnessed it with their own eyes, were filled with nothing but terror!
With strength like that, he was probably no weaker than her grandfather!
Watching She Long instinctively shield her, Qian Renxue's composure was nothing short of extraordinary compared to his tense vigilance.
She gently drew She Long aside, then clasped her hands in greeting, neither servile nor arrogant.
"I am Qian Renxue. Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving my life!
May I ask how I should address you? If you have time, please visit Spirit City. I would be honored to play host!"
Her words were indeed filled with gratitude, but on closer inspection, one could also see Qian Renxue's keen edge.
The surname Qian, and a member of Spirit City.
Anyone with even a little insight could tell who Qian Renxue was. With that consideration in mind, they would naturally be much safer.
As for the title "Your Excellency," that was simply the customary form of address on Douluo Continent.
Anyone who had attained the rank of Titled Douluo was addressed as "Your Excellency" by outsiders.
Since Qin Yun had subdued the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear with a single move, he was naturally a Titled Douluo. Qian Renxue's form of address was perfectly reasonable.
"I merely stood up for what was right. There's no need to thank me.
"Besides, if I hadn't been delayed by certain people, the little thing wouldn't have gotten away. By that reckoning, I'm the one who put you in danger!"
As he spoke, he raised a finger slightly, and a streak of blue light fell into Qian Renxue's hand.
Looking closely, she saw that what had landed in her palm was a jade pendant carved with a Tricolor Cat.
Because the jade contained impurities, the exquisite craftsmanship had turned the discolored patches into the cat's markings, making the whole piece look naturally formed.
But in terms of material, it certainly wasn't valuable.
Still, given Qin Yun's standing, Qian Renxue knew that what he gave her wouldn't be as simple as it appeared.
"Your Excellency, this is..."
"Just a little trinket I made in my spare time. You can think of it as a Soul Tool.
"It can serve as a 10×10×10 Storage Soul Tool. And in a pinch, if you crush the carving, it can also form a defensive barrier.
"It should be able to withstand an attack or two from a high-level Soul Master.
"Of course, if you run into a Super Douluo above level 95, I recommend avoiding them!"
This...
Because the legacy had been lost, Soul Tools were rare on Douluo Continent. Every one was precious.
Storage Soul Tools were especially expensive because they were in such high demand.
The Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night that Gang Zi gave Little Scumbag had a mere 24 cubic meters of storage space, yet it could still fetch a sky-high price, starting at a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
And the storage jade carving before her held a hundred cubic meters.
Even more astonishing, its storage capacity was the least impressive of the Tricolor Jade Pendant's abilities.
According to Qin Yun, crushing it in a critical moment could even block an ordinary Titled Douluo's attack.
A treasure like this was something Qian Renxue had never owned before—or even imagined owning.
"Who exactly is he?"
At that moment, Qian Renxue's curiosity had reached its peak!
But Qin Yun avoided the subject, and she couldn't very well press him.
Oh well. As the saying went, even a passing goose left a trace!
Everyone left traces of their movements. With the resources at Qian Renxue's disposal, if she was determined to investigate, she would surely find something.
After giving her the Tricolor Jade Pendant, Qin Yun, caught up in the moment, couldn't help turning his gaze to She Long.
"A rare Martial Soul that switches between Beast and Weapon forms. It's just a pity about your Spirit Ring Configuration..."
So it was that same old line again!
She Long thought Qin Yun would be like everyone else, passing judgment on his Spirit Ring Configuration and telling him he had no hope of advancing further.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yun only sighed briefly before changing the subject.
"Your Soul Power Level may be affected by it, but cultivation is about more than just Soul Power Level!"
He reached out and patted She Long on the shoulder.
Far from disliking this honest man, Qin Yun spoke to him with heartfelt earnestness.
"Self-Created Soul Skills, Domain Soul Skills, even the cultivation of your mind alone—all of these are part of the path of cultivation."
"Never let your Spirit Ring Configuration make you lose your desire to improve!"
As he finished speaking, She Long's lips trembled, and his eyes even grew a little red.
With a slight lift of his hand, a book appeared in his palm.
The view shifted to reveal the words Heaven-Questioning Spear Art on its cover. It was clearly a Self-Created Soul Skill.
Just as everyone craned their necks, eager to see what was inside, the video abruptly ended.
That concluded the review of the thirtieth place on the Strongest Dragon-Tiger Ranking.
A peculiar Martial Soul that could freely switch between Beast and Weapon forms, the strength to suppress a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast without using a Spirit Skill, a Soul Power cultivation level of 94, and a Self-Created Soul Skill bestowed by a great expert!
There was no need to question She Long's strength. Many even thought that his Spirit Ring quality and Soul Power Level had held him back.
Otherwise, if strength alone had been considered, he might have ranked even higher.
But...
As the saying went, if the thirtieth place was already this impressive, who could imagine what the people above She Long were like?
"No, seriously, I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?"
"Exactly! That Self-Created Soul Skill was obviously extraordinary. You could've at least turned one more page!"
"When I first watched the video, I thought Snake Lance Douluo was invincible. I didn't realize there were even stronger experts.
"Good grief, he subdued a Spirit Beast with four hundred thousand years of cultivation in one move. Just how powerful is he?"
"Just watch the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking! If an expert like that doesn't make the list, it has to be rigged!"
"Place your bets, place your bets! I'm betting the Blue Robe Your Excellency will make the top three at the very least!"
"Top three? With that strength and bearing, I'm betting he'll take first place!"
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Never let your Spirit Ring Configuration make you lose your desire to improve!"
After repeating those words again and again, Chen Xin sighed softly under the worried gazes of Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, then spoke with feeling.
"Just those words alone—without even counting the rewards from the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking—are enough to set She Long on the path to becoming a Super Douluo, with Mind Without Dust. It's only a matter of time.
"And because of those words, the gap between that Your Excellency and me is immense!"
"Uncle Jian..."
Ning Fengzhi raised a hand, unsure how to comfort him.
"It's all right!"
"The Yangtze's waves are driven forward by those behind them. I just never expected to encounter someone like him at my age!
"Fengzhi, take my advice. Use every resource the sect has and find that Your Excellency, no matter the cost.
"If he can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then no matter how turbulent the situation on the continent becomes, our sect will remain unshaken!"
"Rest assured, Uncle Jian. I'll make the arrangements at once!"
