Bibi Dong's Shock, Lin Qiu Forces Back a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

That was a soul beast riot inadvertently triggered by the Titan Giant Ape as it fled earlier.

This King of the Forest had sprinted all the way, startling countless soul beasts inhabiting the vicinity and causing them to panic and scatter in every direction.

"It seems I've caused this trouble, so I must go and clean it up."

Lin Qiu felt somewhat helpless.

Although that monkey had escaped, the mess it left behind was not insignificant.

"Let's go and take a look."

Lin Qiu tapped his toes lightly, his figure soaring into the air like a great roc as he swept toward the direction of the commotion.

Hu Liena followed closely behind.

In a clearing three miles away.

Two young girls dressed in blue athletic gear stood back-to-back; despite their disheveled appearance, they could not hide their stunning beauty.

The one on the left looked slightly older, with ice-blue hair cascading down to her waist and a cold, aloof temperament, much like a snow lotus on a high mountain.

The girl on the right appeared more lively and delicate, though her pretty face was currently filled with terror.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

These two prideful daughters of Skywater Academy were currently facing a life-or-death trial.

They had only come to hunt for a soul ring, but who could have known they would have such terrible luck as to run into a soul beast riot.

At this moment, surrounding them were over a dozen thousand-year-level Nether Wolves, and even a Gale Demon Wolf King with cultivation approaching ten thousand years was eyeing them like a tiger watching its prey.

"Sister, are we going to die here?"

Shui Yue'er said with a sobbing tone, the soul power in her hands nearly exhausted.

Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth as her first and second soul rings flashed in succession, causing walls of ice to rise from the ground in an attempt to block the wolf pack's assault.

"Don't be afraid, hold on! The teacher will be here soon!"

Though she said this, her heart was filled with despair.

The teacher leading their team had become separated from them while luring away a powerful soul beast.

Roar!

The Gale Demon Wolf King seemed to lose its patience and let out a long howl.

The dozen Nether Wolves lunged forward simultaneously, their foul-smelling maws inches away.

It was over.

Shui Bing'er closed her eyes in despair.

However, the expected searing pain did not come.

Instead, a gentle and calm voice sounded abruptly above their heads.

"Freeze."

It was only a single word.

But as this word fell, everything around them seemed to have been pressed with a pause button.

The wolf pack, which had been lunging forward violently, had their bodies forcibly frozen in mid-air, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand.

Shui Bing'er opened her eyes wide.

She saw a slender figure descend from the sky, blocking the path in front of them.

The youth was dressed in white as snow, his black hair like a waterfall, his back as straight as a pine tree.

He did not even turn his head, merely waving his sleeve casually.

Whoosh—

A surge of majestic golden light erupted suddenly.

Those dozen Nether Wolves didn't even have time to let out a scream before they instantly turned into a sky full of blood mist, dissipating into the air.

As for that ten-thousand-year-level Gale Demon Wolf King, it collapsed directly onto the ground, trembling like a sieve, lacking even the courage to flee.

That was the absolute suppression of a superior being.

"Scram."

The youth spat out the word lightly.

The Gale Demon Wolf King, as if granted amnesty, tucked its tail and fled for its life.

The crisis was resolved.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er stared blankly at the youth before them, who had descended like a divine soldier, their minds completely blank.

Too strong.

With a mere wave of his hand, he had annihilated the wolf pack that had brought them to despair.

Lin Qiu turned around, his gaze falling upon the two young girls, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Blue hair, an aura of ice and snow—this pair of sisters...

He had not expected that by saving someone at random, he would encounter the top-tier beauties from the original work: Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er of Skywater Academy.

"Ahem, are you two alright?"

Lin Qiu rubbed his nose.

After all, this soul beast riot was, in the final analysis, caused by him scaring off the Titan Giant Ape.

"We... we're fine! Thank you, benefactor, for saving our lives!"

Shui Yue'er was the quickest to react; stars instantly appeared in her large eyes, and her cheeks flushed crimson.

He was just too handsome!

Strong in ability and so good-looking—he was simply the perfect dream lover!

Shui Bing'er also regained her composure. Although she remained cold and aloof, there was a distinct hint of something unusual and grateful in the way she looked at Lin Qiu.

She stepped forward and offered a graceful bow:

"I am Shui Bing'er of Skywater Academy, and this is my younger sister, Shui Yue'er. Thank you for your intervention, sir. May I ask for your honorable name?"

"Lin Qiu."

Lin Qiu stated his name.

Just then, the system's notification sound rang out in his mind once again.

[Ding! Task settlement: Survived under the pressure of a Saint-level powerhouse (Titan Giant Ape).]

[Rating: Perfect.]

[Reward issued: Kunpeng Precious Technique (Fragment).]

Lin Qiu felt a surge of joy.

The Kunpeng Precious Technique!

That was the supreme divine ability of the Kunpeng, one of the Ten Primordial Evils. It commanded yin and yang, controlled extreme speed, and allowed one to become a Kun in the sea or a Peng to strike the heavens.

Even if it were just a fragment, placed here on the Douluo Continent, it would be a dimension-crushing existence.

This Covering Sky System was truly generous!

Lin Qiu was in a great mood, and he even found the two girls much more pleasing to the eye.

"Lin Qiu... what a good name!"

Shui Yue'er boldly stepped closer, casting aside all pretense of reserve.

"Um, Brother Lin Qiu, we got separated from our teacher. Could we... could we travel with you for a while? It's too dangerous in this forest."

"..."

After speaking, she blinked her eyes in a pitiful, endearing manner.

Shui Bing'er blushed and wanted to pull her sister back, but in her heart, she was actually harboring a faint sense of anticipation.

After all, with such a powerhouse by their side, the sense of security was simply off the charts.

Before Lin Qiu could speak, a voice filled with jealousy cut in.

"No! We have matters to attend to; it's inconvenient to carry dead weight."

Hu Liena walked over, hooked her arm through Lin Qiu's with extreme naturalness, and glared at the pair of sisters as if declaring her sovereignty.

These two women were not bad-looking, especially the older sister, whose beauty could be described as peerless, which immediately set off alarm bells in Hu Liena's mind.

Shui Yue'er puffed out her chest, refusing to be outdone:

"We aren't dead weight! My sister and I have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Lin Qiu found the scene somewhat amusing.

He thought about it; he was heading out of the forest anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to bring them along for a stretch. After all, he had caused the riot, and he couldn't just watch them run into danger again.

"We're heading the same way, let's go together."

Lin Qiu nodded.

Although Hu Liena was somewhat reluctant, she pouted and let out a huff.

But seeing that Lin Qiu had spoken, she could only obey, though she gripped his arm even tighter, as if afraid he would be snatched away.

On the other side, Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief in secret, deciding to report the matter to Bibi Dong.

Time flowed slowly.

Martial Soul Hall, Pope Palace.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.

Bibi Dong sat high upon the Pope's throne, her beautiful face covered in frost. She gripped her scepter so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.

Below her, Ghost Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, and several other elders all wore grave expressions, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Are you saying that they encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
