The Second Soul Skill That's Too Powerful, 'Nine Nether Evil God Transformation'

"First Spirit Skill, Dark Fire Wind Blade!"

Seeing that the Holy Demon Iron Rhino could no longer rise, Qin Xuan decisively launched his attack.

As the words fell, a dark red fire blade several feet long condensed in mid-air, shooting straight toward the face of the Holy Demon Iron Rhino.

--Swish!

Accompanied by a sharp slicing sound, the head of the Holy Demon Iron Rhino was severed cleanly from its body.

Even in its prime, the Holy Demon Iron Rhino would have had to exert significant effort to block this "Dark Fire Wind Blade," let alone now, when it had already been beaten to the brink of death by Yue Guan.

Not long after, a purple spirit ring emerged from the corpse.

Qin Xuan hurriedly sat cross-legged on the spot and began to absorb the spirit ring.

At the same time, the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger flew out from his body, using its "Evil Emperor Hook" to devour the remaining flesh and blood of the Holy Demon Iron Rhino.

After all, the Holy Demon Iron Rhino was a three-thousand-year-old spirit beast; its spirit ring energy was several times that of the Shadow Mantis, so it was naturally not easy to absorb.

Even with the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger's formidable power, after a short while, Qin Xuan's face turned pale, and he wore an expression of agony.

After all, he was currently only a level 22 Great Spirit Master.

Seeing this, Yue Guan retracted his Spirit Avatar and landed beside Qin Xuan with a solemn expression.

The Holy Demon Iron Rhino far exceeded a typical three-thousand-year-old spirit beast.

Even though Qin Xuan's aptitude was heaven-defying, Yue Guan could not help but feel worried at this moment.

The spirit ring energy of this Holy Demon Iron Rhino was indeed extremely overbearing; it took Qin Xuan a full three hours to successfully absorb it.

He slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth:

"After absorbing the second spirit ring, my spirit power has risen by another two levels."

"My second spirit skill is called Nine Nether Evil God Transformation, which belongs to the amplification category."

"After activating this spirit skill, my entire body will be covered in a layer of dark black armor. Within half an hour, it will clear all negative effects, increase defense, strengthen spirit skills, and amplify all attributes by three times!"

Hearing this, Yue Guan widened his eyes, shocked: "What a tyrannical amplification spirit skill! Even a ten-thousand-year spirit skill would barely compare to this!"

Qin Xuan smiled, not being overly modest: "With the power of my two rings, I now have the capital to fight a Spirit Ancestor!"

Yue Guan nodded with great gratification: "Good, very good!"

"With a peerless prodigy like you guarding Spirit Hall, it will surely traverse the ages and last for ten thousand generations!"

Hearing this, Qin Xuan did not get carried away; instead, he said in a calm tone:

"Elder Chrysanthemum, please do not flatter this junior. How can I be called a peerless prodigy? I just had better luck and happened to awaken the mutated Nine Nether Evil God Tiger."

Yue Guan waved his hand, laughing it off:

"You kid are quite humble. This place is not suitable for a long stay; let's leave quickly."

"Otherwise, if we disturb that Holy Demon Rhino King, even I might not be certain of escaping unscathed!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Xuan simply gave a light "Mm" and, without further ado, took the lead in running toward the outer perimeter.

Watching the receding back, Yue Guan sighed with emotion:

"Qin Xuan does not reveal his edge in daily life; his temperament is steady, far exceeding children of his age."

"Although he is only six years old, his whole being reveals a sense of having weathered many storms, with a depth of strategy in his chest. Could it be my imagination?"

There was no time to think further.

Yue Guan transformed into a golden streak of light and followed in Qin Xuan's footsteps.

At the exit of the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, the luxurious carriage pulled by Scale Horses had been waiting for a long time.

After the two entered the carriage and sat down, they began to chat idly.

After spending this time together, the two had become quite familiar, so their private address was relaxed and casual, without the distinction of superior and subordinate.

"Little Qin, do you plan to continue cultivating by the Pope's side?" Yue Guan asked curiously.

As Qin Xuan tilted his head to look at the scenery outside the window, he replied calmly: "No, I am going to report to the Spirit Hall Primary Academy."

"With my current talent and resources, even by the Pope's side, the speed of my spirit power improvement will not be much faster."

"Rather than that, it is better to travel the continent and make more friends."

Hearing this, Yue Guan did not say much.

After this trip, he had witnessed the heaven-defying nature of the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger with his own eyes, so he felt that there was no exaggeration in Qin Xuan's words.

"Little Xuan, then are you still coming back to the Pope Hall with me?"

"No." Qin Xuan smiled and refused: "I plan to go see the Young Master, so I will get off in Tiandou City."

"Many thanks to Elder Chrysanthemum for accompanying me on this hunt for soul beasts."

"Why be so polite with me?" Yue Guan scolded with a laugh, then sighed softly and continued, "I will relay your thoughts to Her Holiness the Pope."

Qin Xuan gave a slight nod, then looked out the window at the scenery flashing by, lost in thought.

In truth, he didn't have much affection for this effeminate Titled Douluo.

However, after spending these past few days together, he found that Yue Guan wasn't actually that annoying.

Yue Guan was indeed loyal to Spirit Hall, but it was a pity he had ended up with Bibi Dong.

In the original story, after Gui Mei was killed by Tang San using the Sea God Trident, Yue Guan's combat power plummeted. Having lost his value, he was sent to his death by Bibi Dong—a truly miserable end.

When it came down to it, this Yue Guan was just a pathetic man who had lived his entire life in Bibi Dong's shadow.

As for traveling the continent, Qin Xuan had naturally considered it.

The world of Douluo Continent was magnificent, and the characters and soul beasts that appeared in the original story were merely the tip of the iceberg.

If he wanted to completely crush the Tang family's destiny in the future, he needed more than just overwhelming strength; he had to develop his own influence—sects, academies, imperial systems, and so on—none of which could be neglected.

Moreover, there were many undiscovered talents across Douluo Continent.

Qin Xuan's goal in traveling the continent was precisely to recruit these talents for his own use.

A few days passed.

Early in the morning, just as the sun began to rise.

After parting ways with Yue Guan, Qin Xuan headed toward Tiandou City alone.

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Tiandou City was exceptionally prosperous, yet it still paled in comparison to Spirit City.

Walking down the main street, Qin Xuan noticed that the shops along the way were already beginning to open for business.

Now that I possess a heaven-defying soul tool like a storage ring, I must stock up on supplies to handle any unexpected situations.

With that thought, he began a "heartless" shopping spree, buying dry rations, fine wine, black iron, ropes, emergency medicine, and anything else that might come in handy; he wouldn't let a single useful item slip by.

After shopping for two full hours, Qin Xuan had only spent five thousand Gold Soul Coins.

During this time, he passed by a flower shop.

Ninety-nine golden roses displayed on the center counter caught his eye.

After all, there were no golden roses back on Blue Star.

"Madam, how much for these roses?" Qin Xuan strode into the flower shop, pointed at the golden roses, and asked.
