Ning Tian and Wu Feng were a full three years younger than him. At only three years old, they were still just two little girls.
He could not exactly fight two little girls, so Qiangu Qitian naturally had little interest in them. He casually exchanged a few words with them, made friends, and soon had the two girls giggling.
Before his rebirth, Qiangu Qitian had lived for over twenty years. Entertaining two three-year-old children was naturally effortless for him.
Not long after, the banquet ended. Having settled the cultivation resources to be purchased with the current sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Yan Shaozhe did not linger any longer and immediately flew with Qiangu Qitian toward Shrek Academy.
With Yan Shaozhe's speed, it did not take long for him to return to Shrek's Inner Academy with Qiangu Qitian.
In the same clearing, Mu En lay in his rocking chair, watching a figure rapidly fly in from the distant sky. A smile could not help appearing on his face.
Very soon, the streak of light flying in from the distant horizon turned into two figures, one large and one small.
"Looks like your negotiations with the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect went rather well this time, Shaozhe."
"Teacher, I have already finalized our cooperation with the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. The Martial Soul Department's resources will increase by thirty percent from now on!"
Yan Shaozhe was indeed in a fine mood. This time, he had secured quite a few resources from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect without spending much more than before.
"Shrek Academy and the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect are closely connected. Some things may be done, but do not go too far."
"If the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect encounters a crisis in the future, you must act."
Mu En knew best what kind of person his disciple was, and he immediately spoke in a grave voice.
"Yes, Teacher. I understand."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yan Shaozhe's face. He had not expected Mu En to see through his suppression of resource prices at a glance.
But he did not dare disobey Mu En's words and could only agree.
"Mm, go back. Break through to rank ninety-six as soon as possible. With your talent, you should have broken through long ago!"
Yan Shaozhe was already over eighty years old. He possessed the Bright Phoenix and Innate Full Soul Power, yet his cultivation was only rank ninety-five. If he were outside with no resources to support him, such Soul Power would be understandable.
But with Shrek's abundant resources supporting him, still having only this level of cultivation was truly far too low.
"Yes!"
Yan Shaozhe did not dare look at Mu En's disappointed gaze. He responded at once and quickly left.
How could he not want to break through? Yet for so many years, he had been firmly stuck at rank ninety-five, unable to advance even an inch, as though his body simply could not support another breakthrough.
"Qitian, use your second soul skill on me!"
"Let me see what level your strength has reached now that you have obtained your second Soul Ring!"
Qiangu Qitian did not say anything about being afraid of hurting Mu En. Without another word, he summoned his Martial Soul.
Two purple Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet in succession!
The next moment, both purple Soul Rings flashed in turn.
As the two soul skills activated, Qiangu Qitian's aura immediately began rising without stop.
The next moment, he condensed his entire aura into a single point. The Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, as tall as he was, carried a shrieking sonic boom as it swept directly toward Mu En's head in the purest, most violent manner possible!
The Coiling Dragon Staff grew heavier and heavier in midair. The immense pressure from the strike even distorted the air.
"Your second soul skill was another enhancement-type soul skill? What a Coiling Dragon Staff, what an Indomitable Staff Technique!"
As Mu En watched the incomparably vicious Coiling Dragon Staff lash toward him, a gleam of surprise and amusement appeared in his eyes. At last, he extended his somewhat withered hand.
The Coiling Dragon Staff, carrying the force of a thousand jun, slammed directly into Mu En's palm!
Yet this strike, powerful enough to produce a sonic boom, was caught directly by that withered hand. Mu En's expression did not change in the slightest.
"Continue!"
"After obtaining your second Soul Ring, your strength cannot be limited to just this. Give me everything you have!"
"If you can satisfy me, I will try teaching you a Self-Created Soul Skill!"
Mu En's words reached Qiangu Qitian's ears, immediately changing his expression. He no longer held back!
That pair of White Emperor Feathers spread open behind his back. Wind-attributed Soul Power empowered his body, and his aura condensed once more!
The strikes of the Indomitable Staff Technique came crashing down in a frenzy!
Battle Heaven Fight Earth!
Shake Heaven Quake Earth!
Stand Tall Between Heaven and Earth!
The three strikes Qiangu Qitian had perfectly mastered erupted in succession. Instantly, countless staff shadows filled heaven and earth, sealing off a vast stretch of space as they crashed toward Mu En from every direction!
Watching Qiangu Qitian soar into the sky, Mu En could not help being stunned. In particular, when he saw the pair of External Soul Bones behind him, astonishment appeared in his eyes.
External Soul Bones? Since when?
Were they gains from obtaining his second Soul Ring this time?
After a brief moment of surprise, Mu En entered his fighting state once more.
As a Limit Douluo, Mu En merely sat there in the face of the countless staff shadows, as though he were the center of heaven and earth. He did not even need to move. A burst of holy light lit up and directly blocked Qiangu Qitian's attack.
So strong. But only sparring with a powerhouse like this can make me stronger!
Qiangu Qitian did not feel the slightest discouragement. Instead, his heart burned ever hotter for battle!
His desire for power grew even stronger!
This was the powerful strength he wanted!
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!!!
Qiangu Qitian's indomitable will was pushed to its limit, and the Coiling Dragon Staff lashed out once again!
Fourth Strike—Covering Heaven and Earth!
Layer upon layer of staff shadows overlapped, and the attack exploded against Mu En's palm.
Forced to take that blow head-on, Mu En could not help baring his teeth, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
Qiangu Qitian's aura did not weaken in the slightest under the enhancement of his External Soul Bones!
Qiangu Qitian felt that it was not impossible for him to unleash the next four strikes. Just as he intended to force himself to try—
Mu En suddenly released a powerful aura that directly locked onto Qiangu Qitian!
"Withdraw your Soul Power back into your body. Do not use the remaining staff techniques. That is not a domain you can touch yet!"
Mu En's voice sounded beside Qiangu Qitian's ear. An irresistible will directly shattered Qiangu Qitian's aura, making him involuntarily retract the Coiling Dragon Staff. The White Emperor Feathers fluttered, carrying him back down to the ground.
"External Soul Bones... good boy, I never expected you to have such fortune!"
"With your current strength, you can fight even a Soul Ancestor. If you can engage in close combat, then with your explosive power, it is not impossible for you to defeat a Soul Ancestor within four strikes!"
"The Coiling Dragon Staff truly is a terrifying Martial Soul. Qitian, your explosive power may even surpass that of the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Mu En looked at Qiangu Qitian, his eyes filled with praise.
As a Limit Douluo and one of the continent's strongest experts, earning his praise was no easy matter!
