Qian Xunji watched the strike that could freeze even sunlight, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

This woman's attack power was off the charts. She'd opened with one big move after another, giving him no chance to talk at all.

But Qian Xunji knew very well that in the law-of-the-jungle world of Douluo Continent, especially among Soul Beasts, words would never work as well as fists.

If you told a Ferocious Beast that had lived for seven hundred thousand years and looked down on all humans, "I'm here to find a marriage partner," it would only think you were not just an intruder but also a brain-dead pervert, and beat you even harder.

"Since you want to fight, then I'll gladly play along."

Qian Xunji's gaze sharpened in an instant. He stopped dodging, drew a deep breath, and let his Soul Power surge out of him without holding anything back, like an erupting volcano.

"Martial Soul, possess!"

"Boom—"

A holy rumble that shook the heavens burst across the sky above the Far North.

Blinding golden light burst from Qian Xunji's body, tearing through the wind and snow in an instant.

Twelve immaculate white wings of light, each dozens of meters long, unfurled behind him with a thunderous roar.

His supreme holy and light attributes transformed into rings of golden radiance, forcibly carving out a sacred haven belonging to Qian Xunji within Snow Empress's Absolute Ice Domain.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red!

Nine Spirit Rings pulsed wildly beneath Qian Xunji's feet. The dazzling hundred-thousand-year red Spirit Ring, in particular, radiated a terrifying pressure.

At the same time, the air half an inch above his head rippled.

[Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone · Original Sin Thorn Crown] (Holy Disguise version) silently appeared.

At that moment, Qian Xunji's golden hair streamed in the wind, and his white robe billowed. He floated motionless in midair, facing Snow Empress's [Emperor Palm], like a supreme savior who had just descended from the Divine Realm.

"Hmm?"

Snow Empress had been cold and impassive, but the moment she saw Qian Xunji release his Martial Soul, a rare flicker of astonishment finally crossed those icy-blue eyes, as still as an ancient well.

What kind of Martial Soul was this?

But after her brief astonishment, the killing intent in Snow Empress's eyes only grew stronger. The more monstrous a human genius was, the greater the threat they posed to Soul Beasts.

Since she had encountered him today, she had to leave him here in the snow and ice forever.

"Ice Seal!" Snow Empress cried coldly.

"With that kind of power, the old Qian Xunji would probably have died. But now..."

Qian Xunji not only made no counterattack, but spread his arms and let the attack crash into him.

"Boom!"

The entire Ice Abyss trembled violently. A terrifying storm of energy swept in every direction, and the glaciers within a ten-mile radius shattered and collapsed beneath that palm. The space where Qian Xunji stood froze solid, turning into a massive ice-blue core.

Snow Empress frowned as she looked at Qian Xunji, frozen in ice. The human had just displayed such terrifying presence, so why hadn't he even tried to dodge? Was he overconfident, or was something wrong with his head?

Just as she was about to turn and leave, a crisp crack suddenly came from inside the ice core.

"Crack..."

Then an extremely dazzling holy golden light shone through the fissures in the ice!

"Boom!"

The massive ice core exploded in an instant, scattering ice shards everywhere.

Qian Xunji stood there unharmed, without even a corner of his clothes frozen. What was more, the Divine Crown floating above his head was flashing with golden light.

[Absolute Thorn Barrier] activated, reflecting 200% damage!

Before Snow Empress could figure out what had happened, she suddenly felt a surge of violent energy spring up without warning in the space around her.

The energy was exactly the same in nature as the [Emperor Palm] she had just unleashed, but its power had doubled!

"Bang!"

The reflected attack, with twice the power, exploded around Snow Empress!

Even Snow Empress, Ruler of the Far North, let out a muffled groan under the unguarded backlash of her own power, doubled. A trace of icy-blue blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"You... what did you do to me?" Snow Empress steadied herself and stared at Qian Xunji, her beautiful eyes finally filled with wariness.

She hadn't even seen this human make a move, yet she had been wounded by an attack twice as powerful as her own technique. What kind of bizarre Soul Skill was this?

Qian Xunji saw Snow Empress's "I've seen a ghost" expression and felt utterly delighted, but outwardly he maintained the Pope's benevolent air.

He elegantly brushed some nonexistent dust off his shoulder and inclined his head slightly.

"Snow Empress, as you can see, my Spirit Rings are full. I had no ill intentions in disturbing you today. Can we sit down and talk now?"

Qian Xunji took the opportunity to bring out the Angel God Token and the Douluo Planet Companion Profound Ice Marrow Core.

"This is!"

While Qian Xunji was on a matchmaking visit in the Far North,

thousands of miles away, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's territory in the Heaven Dou Empire presented a completely different scene.

Seven Treasure City.

This city, hailed as the wealthiest on the entire continent, practically reeked of "corrupt" money, right down to the air.

In a top-tier cultivation chamber in the sect's rear mountains—one normally open only to the Sect Master and core elders—dense Soul Power had almost condensed into white mist.

At the center of the formation, six-year-old Bibi Dong sat cross-legged in silence.

Her previously thin, gaunt little body had already grown much rosier and plumper after just a few days of being fed a wealth of precious natural treasures.

Behind her petite body, the sinister phantom of a spider, its entire body a purplish-black and exuding a nauseating aura of death and decay, slowly faded away.

[Death Spider Emperor]

A brilliantly bright, yellow Spirit Ring bobbed up and down beneath her feet.

Four hundred and twenty years old—the Mandala Demon Spider!

Last night, Ning Zhen had personally led the Sect Protecting Douluo, Yuan Lie, to search the outskirts of Sunset Forest all night. Only then had they found this superb poison-type Spirit Ring, carefully chosen for her and perfectly within the limits of what she could bear as her First Soul Ring.

"Phew—"

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes.

Several days had passed since Qian Xunji had sold her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect like a piece of trash.

Her initial shock, rage, madness, and shattered worldview had now been completely suppressed.

She had managed to endure for so many years in Spirit Hall in her previous life. Her ability to adapt was unquestionably among the best on the entire continent.

"Qian Xunji... You may have been blind in this life, but... sooner or later... I'll still kill you!"

After several days of thinking, she had fully figured it out. Staying in Spirit Hall would let her obtain resources openly and legitimately, but that beast Qian Xunji would inevitably keep an eye on her. He might even recreate the tragedy in the secret chamber.

But here, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, things were completely different.

"You want an invincible Titled Douluo to serve as your sect's treasure? Fine. I'll be one for you."

Since I've lived a second life, and since you're willing to be the sucker, I'll drain every last bit of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation without hesitation.

Once I've sucked you dry and used your resources to become a Titled Douluo, and even reopen the Rakshasa God Trial...

Then—

First, I'll destroy the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Second, I'll slaughter every last member of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Finally, with my invincible foundation, I'll kill my way back to Spirit City and tear that white-haired old thief Qian Xunji into eight hundred pieces...

"Creak—"
