Heaven's Six Eyes vs. Golden Armored Earth Dragon

� Chapter: Heaven's Six Eyes vs. Golden Armored Earth Dragon

Qiangu Wuji activated all the abilities of Heaven's Six Eyes, and immediately used Spirit Exploration as well.

Facing a powerful enemy, he didn't dare hold anything back.

With Heaven's Six Eyes' ability to see through Soul Power, he could monitor the flow of Soul Power inside the bald man, in case he suddenly launched an attack.

Combined with the all-around vision provided by Spirit Exploration, it let him track even the man's tiniest movements.

However, after doing all that, Qiangu Wuji helplessly realized that he could only keep dodging. He had no way to attack.

After his strike missed, the bald man looked a little surprised, but he quickly sneered again.

"Pretty quick on your feet. But how long do you think you can keep dodging?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and swung it hard through the air.

With his ability to see through Soul Power, Qiangu Wuji immediately noticed something was wrong. He didn't dare hesitate and hurriedly leaped to the side. A powerful compressed-air punch grazed his face.

He dodged it in a rather sorry state, and even got a shallow cut on his cheek.

But the fact that he'd dodged it left the bald man astonished.

"You actually dodged my Air Fist?"

The bald man was utterly shocked. Air Fist was a move he'd created himself, not a Soul Skill. It gave no warning when activated, so by rights, someone encountering it for the first time shouldn't have been able to dodge.

Yet Qiangu Wuji, a one-ring Soul Master, had dodged it.

Qiangu Wuji said nothing, only panting a little heavily.

Though he could use his various abilities to predict the man's attacks ahead of time, dodging nonstop wasn't going to work.

Damn it, why don't I have an offensive Soul Skill? If I had one, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

My support abilities are already so strong. If I just had a way to attack, this guy wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Hmph. You dodged one punch, but how many more can you dodge?"

Across from him, the bald man stamped his foot again, and his second Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

"Gravity Suppression!"

As the man activated his second Soul Skill, a black ring suddenly appeared in Qiangu Wuji's eyes, dropping from the sky.

He had no time to think. He quickly rolled with the motion, and the ring slammed into the ground, making the earth cave in slightly.

To everyone watching, Tang Wulin had simply looked up, then dodged to the side, and this scene had unfolded.

They couldn't see the black ring at all.

Even the bald man himself was dumbfounded. He stared in disbelief. He didn't know how his second Soul Skill worked and had always thought it was impossible to dodge. Yet now he'd seen someone evade this supposedly unavoidable Soul Skill.

He was utterly shaken.

What kind of monster was this?

Tang Wulin, watching from the sidelines, was also stunned. He murmured in disbelief,

"So Qiangu is actually this amazing?"

But then, as though he'd thought of something, he grew anxious and turned to Gu Yue.

"Gu Yue, let's go help Qiangu. He probably can't beat that guy, right?"

Gu Yue didn't move to help. Instead, she frowned at him and asked in a cool tone,

"With your level-three Soul Power?"

Tang Wulin's face flushed red. He clenched his fist, but couldn't think of how to argue back.

Gu Yue looked away and returned her gaze to the two fighting. Her next words drifted over lightly.

"You can just watch here. With your strength, you'll only get in his way."

Tang Wulin clenched his fist and lowered his head.

Qiangu Wuji had no idea what was happening on the sidelines. By now, he was already exhausted. He might be able to dodge this guy's attacks, but the man had more Soul Power and vitality than he did!

In a battle of attrition, he had no chance of outlasting the man.

He had to end this quickly. Otherwise, if the fight dragged on, he'd definitely lose.

But how could he hurt this guy?

Spiritual Detection was powerful, but it served mostly as support. It didn't provide any real combat power.

In other words, he didn't have a single offensive skill!

Qiangu Wuji felt helpless. For the first time, his Soul Skills had left him frustrated.

[Beep! Since you're dissatisfied with your Soul Skills, your Soul Ring has decided to prove itself. It has awakened your second Soul Skill: Soul Shock!]

The system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind like heavenly music.

Qiangu Wuji's spirits lifted.

It's here!

The system really hadn't let him down!

He sensed the new information in his mind. It was about his second Soul Skill.

Soul Shock: Materialize spiritual power and unleash a powerful mental attack on an opponent.

Another one of Huo Gua's signature skills? Don't tell me I'm really going to collect all four pieces of Huo Gua's set??

Qiangu Wuji felt a surge of delight.

With this Soul Skill, there was no doubt that his spiritual power would finally have a use.

With that thought, Qiangu Wuji stopped dodging and planted his feet.

"What? Little mouse, giving up on running?"

Seeing him suddenly stand still, the bald man assumed he'd given up resisting and laughed smugly.

Qiangu Wuji said nothing. He simply watched the man calmly. Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes. His First Soul Ring lit up again, and the Soul Power and spiritual power inside him surged toward his eyes.

"Soul Shock!"

With spiritual power as high as 150 points, its might was already on par with an ordinary level-twenty Soul Skill. On top of that, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon Martial Soul possessed by the bald man was naturally weak in spiritual power. As a result, he didn't even have time to react before his mind felt as though it had been dealt a heavy blow. His eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

The sudden turn of events left Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, who had witnessed everything, stunned.

Clearly, neither of them knew what had happened.

Qiangu Wuji, meanwhile, saw the world spinning before his eyes, and his legs turned unsteady.

Only then did he realize that Soul Shock consumed both Soul Power and spiritual power.

Losing Soul Power was all right; at most, it made him tired. But losing spiritual power was more than just tiring.

Just as he was about to fall, Gu Yue came over and caught him from behind.

Qiangu Wuji looked at her. The girl's expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

"What did you do? Why did he suddenly fall?"

"It was... just an attack from my Martial Soul."

Qiangu Wuji gave a vague explanation.

Gu Yue didn't ask anything more. She simply nodded in silence.

Tang Wulin came over too, looking at him with admiration.

"Qiangu, you're amazing. You even beat a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster."

Qiangu Wuji looked at him, and his expression turned a little strange as he studied the boy, who differed somewhat from the original story.

But now wasn't the time to think about that. The most pressing matter was who would get to keep Na'er.

With that thought, he turned to look at Na'er, who was standing straight nearby, looking timid.

The little girl seemed not to have figured out what had happened yet. She stood there looking utterly adorable and confused.

Looking at the adorable Na'er, Qiangu Wuji felt his heart melt. He really wanted to take her home just like that.

But after considering how the original story unfolded, he finally said to Tang Wulin,

"Wulin, what are you planning to do with this little girl? She doesn't seem to have any family."

At that, Tang Wulin turned to look at Na'er. Remembering what Gu Yue had said earlier, he clenched his fist and said, dejected,

"Qiangu, could you take care of this little girl? I'm too weak right now. I can't protect her."
