Heavenly Six Eyes vs Golden Armored Earth Dragon
At this moment, Qiangu Wuji unleashed the full extent of his Heavenly Six Eyes ability, and he also activated his Spiritual Detection directly.
Facing a formidable enemy, he dared not hold anything back.
With the soul power insight provided by the Heavenly Six Eyes, he could monitor the flow of soul power within the bald man's body to prevent him from launching a sudden attack.
Coupled with the omnidirectional perspective provided by Spiritual Detection, he could track every minute movement this guy made with precision.
However, despite doing all this, Qiangu Wuji realized with frustration that he seemed capable only of dodging blindly, possessing no means of attack.
After the bald man's strike missed, he was somewhat surprised, but he soon began to laugh with disdain.
"Your reactions are quite fast, but how long can you keep dodging?"
After saying this, he waved his hand into a fist and threw a punch through the air.
Under the insight of his soul power vision, Qiangu Wuji immediately sensed the anomaly. Daring not to be slow, he hurriedly leaped to the side as a powerful Air Fist compressed from the air grazed past his cheek.
He had dodged this blow quite clumsily, and a shallow bloody scratch was even left on his face.
However, the fact that he could dodge it left the bald man astonished.
"You actually managed to dodge my Air Fist?"
The bald man was now incredibly shocked. One had to know that the Air Fist was a technique he had created himself; it was not a soul skill, and there was no tell when it was activated. Logically, someone meeting it for the first time shouldn't be able to dodge it.
Yet Qiangu Wuji, a soul master with only one ring, had managed to do so.
Qiangu Wuji didn't speak, merely breathing with slight urgency.
Although he could use his various abilities to predict this guy's attacks in advance, dodging blindly was no solution.
Damn it, why don't I have any offensive soul skills? If I had an offensive soul skill, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
My auxiliary abilities are clearly so powerful; if I only had a means of attack, this guy wouldn't be anything at all.
"Hmph, I see you can dodge one punch, but how many more times can you dodge?"
Opposite him, the bald man stomped his foot again, and his second soul ring suddenly shone brightly.
"Gravity Suppression!"
Just as the man's second soul skill was activated, a black ring of light appeared in Qiangu Wuji's eyes, descending from the sky.
There was no time to think; he hurriedly rolled to the side, and the ring of light slammed heavily into the ground, causing the earth to collapse downward slightly upon impact.
In the eyes of others, Tang Wulin had only looked up suddenly, then dodged to the side, and this scene had unfolded.
They hadn't seen this black ring of light at all.
Even the bald man himself was stunned now, dumbfounded. He didn't even know the principle behind his own second soul skill and had always assumed it was a guaranteed hit, yet now he saw someone dodge his "guaranteed" skill.
This left him greatly shaken.
What kind of monster is this?
Tang Wulin, standing to the side, was also stunned, murmuring in disbelief.
"Is classmate Qiangu actually this strong?"
But immediately after, as if thinking of something, he became nervous and turned to Gu Yue.
"Gu Yue, let's go help classmate Qiangu. He shouldn't be able to beat this guy."
Gu Yue didn't move, instead frowning as she looked at him, asking in a flat tone.
"With your level three soul power?"
Tang Wulin's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists, not knowing how to retort.
Gu Yue withdrew her gaze, looking back at the two fighting in the arena, and a light, airy sentence drifted over.
"Just watch from here; with your strength, you'll only be a burden to him."
Tang Wulin clenched his fists, burying his head low.
Qiangu Wuji naturally didn't know what had happened on the sidelines. By now, he was exhausted. Although he could dodge the guy's attacks, he couldn't withstand the fact that the opponent's soul power and physical vitality were stronger than his own!
If it came to a war of attrition, there was no way he could outlast this guy.
I must end this quickly; otherwise, if this turns into a long battle, I will definitely be the one to lose.
But what can I do to hurt this guy?
While Spiritual Detection was powerful, it was primarily for support and lacked any hardcore reinforcement for actual combat.
To put it bluntly, he didn't have a single offensive skill right now!
Qiangu Wuji felt helpless inside, feeling frustrated by his soul skills for the first time.
[Ding! Because you are dissatisfied with your soul skills, your soul ring has decided to step up. You have awakened your second soul skill: Soul Shock!]
In his mind, the system's voice suddenly appeared like a heavenly melody.
Qiangu Wuji's spirit jolted.
It's here!
This system certainly didn't let him down!
He sensed it for a moment and discovered that some information had indeed appeared in his mind; it was for two soul skills.
Soul Shock: Materializes mental power to launch a powerful mental attack against an opponent.
Another skill identical to Huo Gua's? Don't tell me I'm actually going to collect the full four-piece set of Huo Gua??
Qiangu Wuji felt a surge of joy in his heart.
With this soul skill, there was no doubt that his mental power finally had a practical use.
Thinking of this, Qiangu Wuji stopped dodging and stood his ground.
"What? You little rat, you're not planning to hide anymore?"
Seeing him suddenly stand still, the bald man assumed he had given up the struggle and began to laugh triumphantly.
Qiangu Wuji didn't speak, merely watching the man calmly. Suddenly, a flash of light crossed his eyes, his first soul ring lit up once more, and the soul power and mental power within his body surged toward his eyes.
"Soul Shock!"
With a mental power as high as 150 points, its might was no less than an average level 20 soul skill. Furthermore, the bald man's martial soul, the Golden Armored Earth Dragon, was a type inherently low in mental power. Consequently, he didn't even have time to react before his brain felt as if it had suffered a heavy blow, causing his eyes to roll back as he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
The sudden shift in the situation left Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, who had witnessed the scene, completely stunned.
Clearly, neither of them knew what had happened.
Qiangu Wuji, meanwhile, felt the world spinning before his eyes, his footsteps becoming unsteady.
Only then did he realize that the Soul Shock soul skill consumed both soul power and mental power.
The soul power consumption was manageable—at most, it just made him tired—but the mental power drain was not as simple as mere fatigue.
Just as he was about to collapse, Gu Yue walked over and supported him from behind.
Qiangu Wuji looked at her; the young girl's expression was calm and serene, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
"What did you do? How did he just fall over?"
"It was... just an offensive method of my martial soul."
Qiangu Wuji gave a vague explanation.
Hearing this, Gu Yue didn't press for more details and nodded silently.
At this moment, Tang Wulin also walked over, saying with an expression of admiration.
"Classmate Qiangu, you're amazing! Even a two-ring Soul Grand Master is no match for you."
Qiangu Wuji looked at him, his expression turning somewhat strange as he observed the boy, who differed slightly from the original work.
However, now was not the time to think about that; the custody of Na'er was the top priority.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Na'er, who was standing straight and quiet to the side.
At this moment, the little girl looked as if she hadn't quite grasped what had happened, standing there looking very dazed and cute.
Looking at the adorable Na'er, Qiangu Wuji felt a softness in his heart; he really wanted to just take her home like this.
But considering the development of the original story, he eventually said to Tang Wulin.
"Wulin, what do you plan to do about this little sister? Looking at her, it seems she doesn't have any family."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin turned to look at Na'er. Thinking of what Gu Yue had said earlier, he clenched his fists and said with some frustration.
"Classmate Qiangu, could you take care of this little sister? I am very weak right now and don't have the ability to protect her well."
