Four Great Soul Skills! Go All Out, Spirit Armor, Adaptation, Willpower! Nine Dragon Power?

Thinking of this, he looked at the green soul power barrier surrounding him.

He realized that the commotion from just a moment ago must have been mostly masked by Du Busi.

"You brat, causing such a huge stir!!"

Noticing that the commotion had subsided, Du Busi shattered the barrier with a single punch and strode toward Xu Qing, the wrinkles on his face bunching up as his old face bloomed with joy.

"Hehehehahahaha!!"

"You brat, you really do big things in silence!"

"Quick, tell your master, what exactly are these million-year soul skills of yours?"

Xu Qing no longer concealed his aura!

Fourth-turn cultivation base!!!

"Hiss--"

Even though Du Busi had anticipated it, seeing him leap from level thirty-five straight to a Soul Ancestor!

He still couldn't help but gasp!

And this was definitely not his limit! It was only restricted by his soul rings!

Once his precious disciple had rested, he would take him to storm those lands of great peril once more!

He hoped to find a suitable Titan Snow Demon.

Xu Qing's Self martial soul manifested behind him; behind its silver body, a golden ring rose out of thin air, its center aligned perfectly with the back of its head.

And the effects of his soul skills appeared in his mind at this moment.

[First Soul Ring: One Million Years!]

[Active Soul Skill: Go All Out!]

[Big Bug Is Still A Bug!]

[Soul Skill Effect: 100% chance to manifest a soul beast phantom]

[The soul beast phantom can be simulated by Xu Qing's mental power]

[When used, Self power is increased tenfold; soul power consumption is massive during this period]

[Once soul power is exhausted, it will first drain physical stamina, then Willpower...]

[Passive Soul Skill: Spirit Armor!]

[Soul Skill Effect: Mental power is greatly enhanced!]

[Below level 100, you ignore all mental soul skills; above level 100, you are immune to one mental attack]

[Mental power is greatly enhanced]

[Passive Soul Skill: Adaptation]

[Self adaptability is enhanced]

[Passive Soul Skill: Willpower]

[Self Willpower is enhanced]

Hummm--!!!

The golden ring behind the Self martial soul slowly rotated.

Three golden lights lit up on his body in succession; the passive soul skills had already begun to take effect.

Xu Qing felt an unprecedented sense of power!

What kind of feeling was this!?

It felt like a satisfaction he had never known before—a sense of completeness.

His Self martial soul had been like a neighbor's girl who suffered from chronic hypoglycemia because she never got enough to eat.

Then, one day, she suddenly had an incredibly delicious feast and was completely satisfied.

"I have already reached the pinnacle... Du Busi, it is time for the position of Sect Master to change hands!"

BOOM--!!

Xu Qing and Du Busi's fists collided!

Crack-crack-crack-crack!!

The trees around the two could not withstand the force and were all snapped in half!

The air itself distorted!

The ground began to crack violently beneath their feet, and the soil was blasted into the air by their momentum, forming a ring of earth.

"Hahahaha!! You brat! You've got strength!"

Truly worthy of being a Self that transcends the Body!

And now, he had even obtained the sacrifice of a million-year soul beast!

Xu Qing, your master here really underestimated you. Though I can't fathom how you managed to convince that worm.

However, this scene right here is more persuasive than any explanation!

Perhaps that worm was conquered by your personal charisma.

Xu Qing retreated first, his figure shifting as he actually stepped into the air and stood!

"Hehehe, still vigorous in your old age. You should keep sitting in that seat."

One of his hands trembled behind his back, and his figure slowly descended from the air.

"Master, the soul skill's effect is quite potent. It actually doubled my strength!!!"

Two times for showing off, four times for playing it safe, six times for emergencies, eight times for life-or-death crises, and ten times just to watch and admire my own Self.

Old man, this is the code of conduct you taught me!

"Perhaps the reason the soul skill's effect is so weak is inseparable from its combat power; after all, that worm can be easily manipulated by you."

Du Busi blew his beard and stared, saying irritably:

"Enough, enough, spare me that routine."

He stroked his beard, thinking of Huo Yuhao, who had just finished his acupuncture.

"That Spirit Eyes boy, although born with deficiencies, has a very high absorption rate for the injections you researched!"

"You wouldn't believe it, he could withstand nine needles on his first time!"

"He withstood the Nine Dragon Power?"

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

When it comes down to it, this Huo Yuhao really is a Child of Destiny. His resistance to those hormones—the injections—needed to stimulate the various growth requirements of a soul master's body is incredible.

These things are extracted from certain external plants, yet his drug tolerance is so formidable.

You have to know that even Long Aotian could only withstand seven needles the first time he was injected.

Xu Qing recalled the awkward look on Long Aotian's face as he clutched his backside while staring at the needle tips.

Who would have thought he was afraid of shots?

"Indeed, little Yuhao is a child with strong resistance to the injections. Once he reaches the sect and receives systematic training, combined with the improved Blue Silver Eye Drops..."

Du Busi grinned, his heart full of joy, his mind filled with beautiful aspirations for the future.

"It will be enough to make up for his innate deficiencies and his first soul skill."

"Speaking of which, it's truly fate. Disciple, you don't know, but the more I look at Yuhao now, the more I like him."

!

Is his destiny at work?

"I just like this kind of kid who keeps a fire burning inside, durable, hehehe..."

I guess I was overthinking it.

Du Busi and Xu Qing strolled slowly toward Huo Yuhao, brainstorming how to torture... train him along the way.

Now that his Self martial soul had been nourished, the vast majority of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy had been absorbed into the martial soul space.

It was slowly nurturing this body.

There was no rush to obtain a fourth soul ring now; he would return to the sect first to deal with this shed skin.

What kind of decorum is it to keep smashing people with a mortal body?

We of the sect are refined scholars.

At the very least, I should wear a pair of gauntlets.

Though white is a bit effeminate; I'll see if I can dye them a cool black when I get back.

[Little friend, let us meet in the spiritual sea. I apologize for the intrusion, coming here uninvited.]

Time returns to after Du Busi finished giving Huo Yuhao his injections.

At this moment, the ecstatic master had already gone to cover up the heaven-shaking commotion caused by Xu Qing accepting the sacrifice.

Leaving behind only a human-shaped, red-hot shrimp.

"Haa... haa... my chest... it hurts so much..."

Huo Yuhao was actually even more drug-resistant than Du Busi had imagined!!

He had actually withstood the side effects of the Nine Dragon Power and awakened ahead of schedule!

However, his state at this moment seemed somewhat wrong.

Clutching his chest with one hand, he was drenched in sweat, his face deathly pale, his breathing ragged.

This couldn't be a side effect of the Nine Dragon Power; the Nine Dragons didn't have such a potent effect.

It's this feeling again...

He had already been suffering for quite a while after that giant worm was captured by the Sect Master.

Yet why, now, was it happening all over again?

Is it a side effect of the supplement? But the Sect Master has no reason to lie to me.

Huo Yuhao had already been conquered by Du Busi's sheer muscle and overwhelming strength.

He had been molded into the shape of the Body Sect.

"Hehehehe..."

"Perhaps I am just too weak, unable to even withstand a few minor side effects."
