Argh, My Fiery Temper, Eat My Lightning Five-Chain Whip! Eat My Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

"Huo Yuhao... greets the Sect Master, and greets the Young Sect Master."

What a cool Martial Soul... and to think, this is the Young Sect Master's... second Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao, who had just bowed, froze in place, unable to suppress the envy in his heart.

The legendary twin Martial Souls, truly incredible.

The gap between people is truly vast...

"Just call me Brother Xu. Everyone in the sect calls me that. Right, Master? Why don't you call me Brother Xu and let me hear it?"

Thump.

Du Busi curled his index finger and affectionately flicked the Demon Pill on the head.

"You have no sense of propriety. Why don't you tease Old Jin like that?"

Though he said that, Du Busi was actually quite pleased.

Xu Qing only acted like this in front of him; this child had been close to him since he was small!

"X-Brother Xu!"

Huo Yuhao stood at attention, head held high, chest puffed out, and eyes squeezed shut.

"Please take care of me!!"

[Brother Xu! Brother Xu!! Don't kill me, don't kill me!!]

A voice sounding extremely terrified rang out within Xu Qing's spiritual sea.

His expression hardened, a flash of killing intent crossing his eyes.

Damned bug, to think you would enter my spiritual sea without my permission!

You have already chosen the path to death!!

Thinking this, Xu Qing exchanged a look with Du Busi, and the latter understood what was happening in an instant.

Don't ask; if you ask, it's the bond between possessors of a Body Martial Soul.

Then, Xu Qing's figure flickered and vanished from where he stood.

Du Busi took a jar of opened white powder from his storage soul tool, along with a row of bound, red and green syringes.

He slowly approached Huo Yuhao and said affectionately:

"Little Yuhao, don't be afraid. This is a supplement your Brother Xu researched."

He placed the protein powder into the hands of the forced-to-open-wide Huo Yuhao, then, as if performing a magic trick, flipped his hand to remove the protective caps from the syringes, revealing the gleaming silver needles.

"Hehehe... cough, cough! Drink some protein powder first to build up your body. Look at how thin you've become; you're just like those scrawny dogs at the foot of the mountain."

"In our Body Sect, we are all muscle men!"

"Then, you'll take a few of these needles. I guarantee you'll be full of vigor, lively, and your muscles will grow like crazy!"

"Hehehe, why are you shaking? Don't worry, it takes effect very quickly. The disciples in the sect use these for cultivation every day."

Will such potent injections have any side effects? Like making my head turn pointy or something...

Then let me ask you...

Inside Xu Qing's spiritual sea.

A glowing sphere with golden patterns was conversing with the projection of Xu Qing's consciousness.

"Brother Xu, no! Grandpa Xu! Father Xu! Don't kill me, Brother... this little one, this little one doesn't want to die!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its body within the light sphere, constantly dodging the whip attacks condensed from Xu Qing's spirit, letting out shrill, miserable screams.

"No more, the supplement is already being administered!"

"Tsk..."

Xu Qing flicked his hand, unleashing another Lightning Five-Chain Whip!

"Argh!! Wuwuwu, Grandpa Xu, this little one is here to bring you a treasure!! Isn't there a saying in the human world: don't hit a smiling face?"

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap!!

"Are you a human? Honestly. Fine, the punishment is over. Speak, why did you enter my spiritual sea without permission?"

At this mention, Xu Qing recalled the birth of his second Martial Soul when he first awakened; it had directly opened his spiritual sea!

Though it had hurt enough to knock him unconscious.

However, one had to know that his spiritual sea was extremely unique.

Even the spiritual power of a Limit Douluo like Du Busi could not enter here without him noticing...

Should I say it's worthy of being an unprecedented million-year spiritual-type soul beast?

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm straightened its worm-like body, and the golden-patterned light sphere wrapping it shattered quietly, transforming into a golden soul ring that floated before Xu Qing.

"Grandpa, this is a tribute from your grandson! You might not know this, but your grandson is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, this is..."

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack!

Xu Qing unleashed the Lightning Five-Chain Whip once again, beating the creature until it howled in agony.

"Still daring to lie? I could tell at a glance that you aren't a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"

"I'll give you one more chance. Try again."

He narrowed his eyes, his spiritual power condensing into a white chair behind him. He sat down, crossed his legs, and swung the long whip in his hand with leisurely ease.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sniffled, bean-sized tears streaming from the corners of its compound eyes.

It began to recount the abuse and injustice it had suffered in Star Dou.

But this dishonest worm seemed to be underestimating its Uncle Xu Qing.

It wasn't mentioning a single word about its cultivation level.

Dodging the important points? Who wants to hear about your tragic backstory!?

"Alright, alright, stop right there. You worm, you really are just a worm. Your cultivation is clearly at the limit of what a soul beast on the Douluo Continent can reach—a million years—but your combat ability is truly..."

Xu Qing paused. The long whip in his hand transformed into a spear, pierced through the golden soul ring, hooked it, and then he grabbed it, turning it into an arm ring that settled onto his wrist.

"Weak, weaker than weak. Should I say that you truly live up to your nature as a worm? Sky Dream Ice Silkworm."

"How do you know my cultivation level!!"

The worm's body trembled violently, its mandibles chattering incessantly.

"You, you, you! You even know my name!! Were you sent by Di Tian to capture me!?"

"Don't flatter yourself, Tian Meng. Be obedient and hand over all of your dense life force and your immense spiritual power!"

Xu Qing's spiritual power transformed into a giant palm, reaching out to grab the worm.

"Wait!"

It stopped trembling, shedding its previous cowardly demeanor for an air of haughty superiority.

"Since you know that Brother here is the legendary million-year soul beast, aren't you afraid that I'll detonate your sea of consciousness?"

"Think about it. If your sea of consciousness is gone, your soul is gone. If your soul is gone, are you still you?"

"Who knows, the moment Brother blows up your sea of consciousness, your head might just go 'bang'!"

Ignoring the threats entirely, Xu Qing's manifested giant palm clenched into a fist and slammed repeatedly into Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's body.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!

"Heh heh heh, truly incorrigible. You still dare to call yourself 'Brother' in front of me? How was my Six Paths Reincarnation Fist? Refreshing, isn't it? Worm."

Xu Qing stood up, cracking his knuckles one by one with a rhythmic crunching sound, and slowly stepped back.

If this worm actually detonates, I might not be able to hold on.

My Self Martial Soul hasn't even had a soul ring attached yet; relying solely on its innate traits...

[God-Level Body Martial Soul: Self]

[Trait: Undying--Your conviction will lead you back to your peak!!]

[Trait: Great Strength]
