Three Years of Gains, Demon Breaking Hand

Harvest of Three Years, Demon Breaking Hand

In the private room, Yun Ming looked at Qiangu Wuji with curiosity.

"I remember your talent is quite good; you shouldn't have wasted it over these past three years, right?"

As his voice fell, Ya Li, sitting to the side, also looked over with interest.

Three years ago, the appearance of a genius youth in the Spirit Pagoda had caused a massive stir in the upper echelons of the continent.

They called him the reincarnation of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, the successor who would lead the Spirit Pagoda to even greater heights.

In any case, the evaluations of this youth were more thunderous than the last.

They had seen plenty of geniuses; Shrek was the place least lacking in such talent, but someone with the reputation of Qiangu Wuji was rare, perhaps even non-existent.

So now, Ya Li was also very curious: what exactly made this youth, who looked as pretty as a little girl, so different?

Of course, the real reason she was paying attention wasn't his talent, but the words Qiangu Wuji had spoken three years ago when he refused to join Shrek.

Possessing powerful talent while also holding a kind heart—that was the most precious quality of all.

Facing Yun Ming's question, before Qiangu Wuji could express anything, Leng Yaozhu, sitting beside him, simply laughed.

She nodded with a smile and said softly.

"Wuji, since your Uncle Yun Ming is curious, why don't you show him?"

"Now? Mom, but didn't you say there are some abilities I shouldn't display in front of others?"

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji looked at Leng Yaozhu in surprise.

"It's fine, these two aren't bad people."

Leng Yaozhu shook her head, saying it nonchalantly.

Listening to their conversation, Yun Ming and Ya Li exchanged a glance, both seeing a trace of confusion in the other's eyes.

In the end, it was Ya Li who spoke first.

"Yaozhu, being so mysterious—is there something about this child that we aren't allowed to know?"

Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly and didn't answer the question, instead watching her son the whole time, her eyes filled with undisguised pride.

Her behavior only made the two of them more puzzled.

Qiangu Wuji looked at their curious gazes, sighed, and knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, he nodded and stood up.

First, he slowly circulated his soul power, the Heavenly Six Eyes gradually manifesting, and then two purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

Watching this scene, even Yun Ming, who had remained relatively calm, showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"A two-ring Soul Grand Master! To think that in three years, you've actually reached two rings already. No wonder, no wonder..."

He repeated himself a few times, then nodded.

"Mm, you're nine years old now; to reach this level of cultivation is indeed very impressive."

To have the man known as the world's number one say this was enough to show just how highly he regarded Qiangu Wuji.

Qiangu Wuji listened and nodded, his expression neither sad nor happy.

In truth, given his talent, reaching level 28 within three years was inevitable. He had already been level 11 when he arrived in Aolai City, so reaching this level after three years was a natural progression.

As for the thousand-year soul rings, it was even easier to understand. Joker had been a soul spirit close to a thousand years to begin with; over the years, he had taken the time to go to the Spirit Pagoda for soul spirit ascension, and after studying with Mu Ye, his physical strength had also increased, making it only natural that he could attach thousand-year soul rings.

"Indeed, to have such achievements at such a young age is truly rare."

Ya Li nodded from the side, also giving a high evaluation.

However, just then, an ill-timed remark suddenly rang out.

"Wuji, don't hold back. Show your uncle and aunt that thing."

"Hm?"

Yun Ming turned his head, looking at Leng Yaozhu in confusion.

At this moment, she was beaming, her eyes filled with immense pride.

Seeing this, he asked curiously.

"Is there something else about this child that I don't know?"

"You'll know in a moment."

Leng Yaozhu said with a smile, acting all mysterious.

Yun Ming and Ya Li exchanged another look. As top-tier Douluos, they knew each other well, and in their impression, Leng Yaozhu shouldn't be this kind of person.

But now, this tone, as if she couldn't wait to show off to others—why did it feel like she was acting like a child?

Regarding this, both of them felt a bit strange. Although Qiangu Wuji's talent was good—a Three-Life Martial Soul, a nine-year-old Soul Grand Master—it wasn't exactly one-of-a-kind, was it?

Geniuses like this were everywhere, or at least not entirely absent. Just looking at soul power alone, Shrek had students even stronger than this.

Qiangu Wuji looked at Leng Yaozhu's expression and sighed inwardly.

He could see it now; today, this woman really was just here to show off her son.

How can someone so grown up be so childish?

It was just being rejected after pursuing Yun Ming, was it really worth all this?

However, despite thinking this, Leng Yaozhu had been good to him, and she was his mother after all, so he really had to earn back some face for her.

Thus, he nodded and said nothing more.

He took a deep breath, his originally golden eyes becoming increasingly brilliant, and immediately after, a bizarre scene unfolded.

A faint red halo began to rise around his body.

His fair, tender right hand began to swell at an incredible speed, its color shifting toward blood-red.

In the blink of an eye, his entire right hand had expanded significantly, covered in dense cracks, resembling the sharp claws of a demon.

This was his greatest gain over the past three years, the absolute killing weapon born from the second awakening of his Body Martial Soul: the Demon Breaking Hand.

Seeing this, even as experienced as Yun Ming and Ya Li were, they stood up abruptly, their eyes filled with shock.

"This is...?"

After a long while, Yun Ming swallowed hard.

"Did you awaken a fourth martial soul?"

Ya Li also opened her mouth.

"A fourth martial soul... this..."

"No, the situation with this child is not a fourth martial soul."

While the two were stunned, Leng Yaozhu shook her head from the side.

Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at her, their eyes full of confusion.

Leng Yaozhu explained.

"At first, I also wondered if this child's body had mutated, as he kept awakening martial souls."

"But after I examined him carefully, I discovered that this isn't actually a new martial soul, but a specific type of special mutation."

"A special mutation?"

Hearing this, the two were even more confused.

Leng Yaozhu looked at Qiangu Wuji.

"Wuji, explain it yourself."

"Yes, alright."

Qiangu Wuji nodded and explained according to the script he had prepared beforehand.

"Yes, actually, this isn't a martial soul, but something caused by a mutation in my Body Martial Soul."

"Uncle Yun Ming, you might not know what my Body Martial Soul is yet, right? Actually, my Body Martial Soul is my brain."

"Your brain? Isn't it the Spirit Eyes?"

Yun Ming frowned as he looked at him; he couldn't have misidentified Qiangu Wuji's golden eyes, they were definitely the Spirit Eyes, so how did they become a brain?
