"Heh, what's there to be afraid of?"
Seeing Qin Yun wave his hand so casually, looking every bit like he'd already taken the bait, Gangzi couldn't help sneering inwardly.
Still too young!
He couldn't even see through such a simple provocation, yet he actually thought he could compete with me for a disciple?
Although he'd apparently read some materials somewhere and did know a thing or two about Martial Soul Theory, when it came to Soul Masters, Qin Yun was a complete amateur!
Soul Masters needed Soul Rings and Soul Skills to unleash their fighting power!
A Little Scumbag without even a Soul Ring thought he could challenge me, a Soul Grandmaster?
That was nothing but a pipe dream!
Very well. Today, I, your senior, would give you a proper lesson!
With that thought, Gangzi struck a fighting pose and summoned a purple-skinned pig first. Then he called out loudly:
"Yu Xiaogang, Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, level 29 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!"
Exchanging names before a fight was practically an unwritten rule on the Douluo Continent.
But Qin Yun was a little puzzled.
Yu Xiaogang plus Luo Sanpao—how could that possibly count as the Power Attack System?
How did it attack?
Would it stink the opponent unconscious with a fart, or make them laugh themselves to death?
What was more, before Qin Yun—who was trying to do as the locals did—could introduce himself too,
Gangzi didn't wait for him to get ready. Soul Power abruptly erupted beneath Gangzi's feet, and two yellow Soul Rings rose up, dazzlingly bright.
Accompanied by a low beastly growl, a pale purple figure suddenly appeared. Luo Sanpao, shaped like a pig, was summoned in an instant. It curled up in midair, Soul Power gathering around its body as it finished charging, then lunged at Qin Yun without warning with a Pig Rush!
A sneak attack!
A dignified level-29 Soul Grandmaster, a famous master of Martial Soul Theory, had actually thrown all honor to the wind and launched a sneak attack on a six-year-old child.
He wanted to suppress him in a single move, crushing this genius with overwhelming strength to show off his own invincibility.
Don't be fooled by Luo Sanpao's low level. It was, after all, a special Martial Soul that had failed to evolve into the Golden Sacred Dragon, and it had a physical body.
With its size, even without using a Soul Skill, charging straight into someone like this wasn't easy for an ordinary person to handle.
"Despicable!"
Clenching his fists, Tang San—watching from the sidelines—cursed with bloodshot eyes at Gangzi's shameless tactics.
Unexpectedly, faced with Tang San's rebuke, Gangzi felt no shame at all. If anything, he was proud of himself.
"Heh heh, Little San, battles between Soul Masters aren't as simple as you imagine!"
"Deception is fair in war. That's the first lesson I'm teaching you today!"
Standing with his hands behind his back, Gangzi had already learned Qin Yun's background and knew that the boy's Innate Soul Power was only six.
Faced with the sudden sneak attack, he'd already decided the outcome in advance.
"He's only a six-year-old brat. It's not like he can turn the world upside down!"
What Gangzi couldn't imagine, however, was that this six-year-old child before him wasn't a soft cotton ball anyone could squeeze at will.
Did low-level Soul Masters have to rely on Soul Rings and Soul Skills to fight and bring their Soul Power fully into play?
That theory wasn't wrong. At least for ordinary Soul Masters like Gangzi, that was indeed the case.
But for certain Soul Masters with inherited traditions, it was different!
After all, the true disciples of top sects mastered not only Soul Rings and Soul Skills, but also Self-Created Soul Skills that were even better suited to their own Martial Souls!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might have had them, but given Gangzi's habit of thinking too highly of himself while lacking the ability to match, he certainly hadn't mastered any.
Luo Sanpao was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Qin Yun's vital points, its bulk ready to slam into him.
Seeing this, even Tang San thought that the six-year-old sect master couldn't possibly dodge this sudden Soul Master attack and was sure to be crushed in one blow, falling in a sorry heap.
Just as the attack reached him—
Qin Yun shifted his footing, his figure drifting like clouds on the wind, ethereal and elusive.
His exquisite footwork carried him through twists and turns, his movements shifting between real and illusory, impossible to read.
The attacks came within a hair's breadth, yet never quite reached him.
Luo Sanpao's ferocious lunges missed again and again. Its pig's head and hooves swept through the air, leaving only gusts of wind. It couldn't even brush the hem of Qin Yun's clothes.
He pivoted, dodged, sidestepped, and spun around.
Qin Yun moved as lightly as a ghost, strolling leisurely through the violent impact of Soul Power. Every dodge was perfectly timed, avoiding each attack with pinpoint precision.
Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted, his face full of disbelief.
He couldn't have imagined that a six-year-old child could have such terrifying footwork.
He'd launched a full-force sneak attack, yet couldn't even touch the other boy's clothes.
But then again, how could Gangzi, who'd been ordinary his whole life, have ever seen the scenery through a genius's eyes?
On the other hand, watching the familiar footwork in the middle of the fight, Tang San's bloodshot eyes suddenly brightened.
"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"
"I can't believe the sect master has reached such a level at such a young age. This kind of talent is truly a blessing for the Tang Sect!"
[God King Tang Favorability +5, 50/100!]
Oh~
Who knew there'd be an unexpected bonus!
"After the previous draw, I can't believe I get another one so soon. I hope I can get some gold coins out of God King Tang.
"Besides, God King Tang during Douluo I is still pretty normal. Judging by how things are going, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to raise his Favorability pretty quickly!"
Some were happy, others worried. Unlike Qin Yun, who was strolling leisurely, and Tang San, who was looking at him with admiration,
Yu Xiaogang's face grew more and more unpleasant as he watched Qin Yun toy with Luo Sanpao. Shocked as he was, he was also humiliated.
As a senior, he'd launched a sneak attack, only for his junior to dodge it with ease. He'd truly lost all face!
"Is all you can do dodge?!"
In a fit of anger, Gangzi grew even angrier. When Qin Yun didn't even bother to answer him, Gangzi stopped hesitating.
His First Soul Ring suddenly blazed with brilliant light.
"First Soul Skill: Thunderous Fart, Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"
Soul Power, thick with a vile stench, gathered and compressed to the utmost. Luo Sanpao's belly swelled high, as if it were holding in a huge one.
Seeing this, Tang San couldn't help worrying.
"Brother Yun, be careful!"
Unlike Tang San, Qin Yun wasn't particularly worried about Gangzi using a Soul Skill.
After all, everyone thought Luo Sanpao was holding in a huge one, but they had no idea it could only drop a huge turd!
Still, as the saying went, "Dip a mop in shit, and I'm invincible."
Luo Sanpao's Soul Skill might not have much attack power, but its capacity to humiliate was no ordinary thing.
"If you want to play, then you'd better be ready to suffer the consequences!"
"The Three-Cannon Stinky Fart Shockwave sweeps across the four directions, striking over a wide area. There's nowhere to dodge.
"No matter how exquisite your footwork is, where do you think you can hide?"
Yu Xiaogang sneered inwardly.
Against a wide-area stinky fart Soul Skill, all you could do was take it head-on. Today, I'd make you understand just how terrifying a theoretician could be.
Yet Qin Yun remained calm, not the least bit flustered.
"Pff~" Luo Sanpao's sphincter had barely relaxed.
Before the yellow cloud could spray out, Qin Yun raised a hand and sent his Soul Power coursing smoothly through him. The Tang Sect's top technique, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, instantly unfolded.
An invisible force of attraction erupted, locking precisely onto Luo Sanpao's body in midair.
