Space-Type First Soul Skill—Even a Titled Douluo Had to Take a Loss

A full half minute passed.

[World's Number One Princess: My! God! What! The! Hell! Is! That!]

Ning Rongrong immediately sent a long string of screaming chicken stickers into the Group Chat.

[Bunny Is So Cute: A... a golden Soul Ring?! The books never mentioned this!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: Holy shit! Golden! Aren't legendary Million-Year Soul Rings supposed to be golden?! Brother Yifei's first Soul Ring is a million years old?!]

Liu Erlong felt her understanding of the world being completely overturned.

[Little Ice Cube: Not a million years... I feel like it's even more terrifying than the Million-Year Soul Rings described in the ancient records...]

[Ghost Cat: ...Taking screenshots like crazy.]

Shui Bing'er's words seemed to lower the temperature in the Group Chat by several degrees.

Zhu Zhuqing silently saved this historic moment.

Inside the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong watched the golden Soul Ring rise. Her body went limp, and she collapsed completely onto her throne, unable to summon even a trace of strength.

She had lost.

From Martial Soul to Soul Ring, she had been crushed beyond recognition.

"Haha... hahahaha..."

She suddenly laughed softly, her laughter full of self-mockery and bitterness.

So the thing she had pursued her entire life was nothing more than a Beginner's Gift Pack to someone else.

How... laughable.

Li Yifei slowly rose to his feet, sensing the immense Soul Power that had appeared within him out of nowhere, along with several strange abilities added to his soul.

It felt rather marvelous.

A warrior's Planetary-level power came from the body.

A Mental Master's power came from the mind.

But this Soul Power lay somewhere between the two, more like the product of soul and body combined.

Three separate systems, existing side by side without conflict.

Wonderful!

He nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Dugu Bo, who had gone stiff like a statue, and casually asked:

"Hey, old man, take a look for me. What exactly is my First Soul Skill?"

Dugu Bo was still kneeling on the ground, utterly dumbfounded.

His mind was completely blank. All that remained was the sacred and imposing golden Soul Ring replaying over and over in his head.

First Soul Skill?

You called that a first Soul Ring? That was a fucking Divine Ring!

A God-given first Soul Skill, and you needed a Titled Douluo like me to identify it? Who were you trying to humiliate?!

Li Yifei's words pulled him back from his endless shock.

Dugu Bo swallowed with difficulty, his throat so dry it felt ready to burst into flames.

Supporting himself on his weak knees, he shakily stood up. The way he looked at Li Yifei now carried a trace of humility that even he himself had not noticed.

"Your Excellency... this..." For a moment, he did not even know what to call this Soul Skill.

Li Yifei seemed to see through his awkwardness and simply suggested, "Why not attack me once? Then you'll know."

"What?" Dugu Bo froze.

[World's Number One Princess: !!! Fight, fight!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: Damn! The little hottie's got guts! He's making a Titled Douluo be his sparring partner? I'm in love!]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Brother Yifei only just awakened. Isn't this dangerous?]

[Little Ice Cube: It is indeed a little dangerous! I mean for Dugu Bo.]

[A Little Goose: Grandpa, don't!]

In the Livestream Room, Dugu Yan's heart leaped into her throat, and she instinctively wanted to stop him.

But Li Yifei merely waved his hand, looking as though it were only natural. "Relax. I'll only use my Martial Soul and this First Soul Skill. I won't use any other power."

The moment he said that, Dugu Bo's pride as a Titled Douluo was stirred instead.

A Soul Master... who had just awakened a Martial Soul?

Even if his Martial Soul was God-level and his Soul Ring was a million years old, he was still only a Soul Master!

He was a level ninety-two Titled Douluo. No matter how monstrous the other party was, could he really lack the courage to test him once?

If word got out, how was Poison Douluo supposed to make a living on the continent afterward?!

"Fine!" Dugu Bo took a deep breath, battle intent rekindling in his clouded old eyes. "Your Excellency, be careful!"

He was filled with curiosity about Li Yifei's strength. He wanted to experience for himself just how terrifying this First Soul Skill that defied all common sense truly was!

The moment his words fell, Dugu Bo shot backward, opening a distance of several dozen meters. Without the slightest carelessness, he raised a hand and flicked it. An Emerald Poison Mist Arrow tore through the air and shot straight at Li Yifei's face!

He had controlled the force of the attack, and its poison was only paralyzing. This was purely a test.

[World's Number One Princess: Here it comes! Poison Douluo has made his move!]

[Little Ice Cube: What a fast attack...]

On the livestream, everyone saw that Li Yifei remained standing where he was, completely motionless in the face of that fierce strike!

Dugu Yan shut her eyes in fright.

Yet the expected collision never came.

Just half a meter before the emerald poison arrow touched Li Yifei's body, something strange happened.

The space in front of the poison arrow distorted ever so slightly.

The next instant, the arrow vanished into thin air.

Then, ten meters away from Li Yifei, a small hole appeared in the wall with a soft pfft, eaten away by corrosion as wisps of green smoke rose from it.

The attack... had been transferred?

[Is Jade Not Jade: ??? Where did it go? Where's the arrow?]

[Bunny Is So Cute: What just happened? Were my eyes playing tricks on me?]

[Ghost Cat: ...Space Deflection?]

Zhu Zhuqing typed four words, and the entire Group Chat fell silent for a second.

Dugu Bo froze completely as well.

He could clearly sense that his Soul Power attack had not been neutralized. Instead, an incomprehensible force had moved it elsewhere!

What kind of damned ability was this?!

"Interesting." Li Yifei rolled his wrist, seemingly quite pleased with this new toy. "Again."

"Arrogant!"

Dugu Bo was thoroughly enraged by his casual attitude. He stopped holding back, driving his Soul Power at full force as both hands shot out!

"Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, Myriad Poisons Return to Origin!"

In an instant, dozens of poison arrows, denser and darker green than before, filled the sky and sealed off every route Li Yifei could use to dodge!

Yet Li Yifei remained where he was.

He merely raised his right hand and made a light brushing motion toward the rain of arrows rushing at him.

Buzz!

Everyone watched as that terrifying barrage, powerful enough to corrode a small mountain into nothingness, collectively took a bizarre turn just as it reached Li Yifei!

Then it reversed direction and shot back along its original path, faster than before, toward its caster!

[World's Number One Princess: Holy holy holy holy holy shit!]

[Is Jade Not Jade: Reflection! It's reflection! I'm attacking myself?!]

[Bunny Is So Cute: Old grandpa, watch out!]

Dugu Bo's scalp went numb!

Even in his dreams, he had never imagined that his most prideful poison attacks would return to him in this way!

He rolled across the ground in a miserable scramble, narrowly avoiding the attack he himself had launched.
