Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul

Guang Ling's eyes glinted with amusement. He teased, "This is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Do you know how precious they are? As far as anyone knows, there are only two in the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

"Stupidity is contagious, and it's filthy." Qingxi shook her head.

"Filthy?" Guang Ling raised an eyebrow, unsure why Qingxi would say that.

Qingxi cleared her throat, looking awkward. "Raise a few rabbits yourself and you'll understand."

Just how clean could a rabbit that had cultivated for a hundred thousand years be?

"If I get the chance, I'll give it a try. But for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to fall in love with a human... that's really asking for death." Guang Ling gazed at the window with an amused expression. To be honest, he looked down on that sort of Soul Beast too. It had no brains.

It was only because Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were so rare on the continent that they were precious.

A waiter came over carrying all kinds of food and pastries. "Please, enjoy."

Downstairs.

"Brother, it's a misunderstanding. We'll get rid of this thing soon. Do us a favor." Flender was negotiating with the knight in charge. As he spoke, he discreetly slipped a pouch of Gold Soul Coins into the man's hand, wearing a fawning smile while his heart bled.

"A misunderstanding?" The captain weighed the pouch in his hand and smiled maliciously. "You know how to play it. But I'm afraid there's not enough here for my men to share."

As he spoke, he pointed to the knights behind him.

Flender's smile stiffened. Rather unwillingly, he took out another pouch of Gold Soul Coins. "Brother, have a heart. We'll get rid of this ice wall soon."

The captain took the pouch and nodded in satisfaction. "You have one day. I hope this ice wall is gone by the time we patrol tomorrow."

"Certainly, certainly. Take care, brother." Flender smiled ingratiatingly as he saw them off. The moment they were out of sight, his face fell.

My money!!!

"Waaah... Third Brother..."

Yu Xiaogang watched Xiao Wu sobbing. His already rigid face grew even colder. "Cry, cry, all you do is cry. If it weren't for you, would Little San have gone through all this?"

Xiao Wu stiffened, her sobs stopping. Then she cried out bitterly, "It's all my fault..."

Her voice was hoarse and low, as if she had cried her throat raw.

Xiao Wu stared at Tang San, unconscious inside the ice wall. At that moment, she hated her own helplessness.

She wanted so badly to sacrifice herself for Tang San, but with his current strength, his Martial Soul probably couldn't withstand her Soul Ring.

She had brought this on Third Brother.

At the thought, Xiao Wu covered her face and began to cry again.

Remorse and hatred knotted together in her heart. Qiankun Mingxin!!!

"Xiaogang, is there really no other way?" Flender went over to Yu Xiaogang. He was more concerned about the three people inside the ice wall than Xiao Wu, who only knew how to cry.

He had clearly told the Little Monsters not to provoke Qiankun again, yet Xiao Wu's injury alone had made them forget everything he said.

Flender was furious!

"They've been frozen for too long. If their bodies weren't stronger than ordinary people's, they'd already be dead. If we break the ice wall by force, the Little Monsters will be like smashed bowls. The only way is to dissolve it from within using an equal amount of power." Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with worry.

If anything happened to Little San, then with His Excellency Clear Sky's temper, none of them at Shrek would survive.

"I've already done everything I can to notify Little San's father. Now, all we can do is what we can, and leave the rest to fate." He looked toward the horizon, where endless dark clouds seemed to churn in his eyes.

Once he'd seen enough of the commotion, Guang Ling took Qingxi and flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest after they finished eating.

"Why are we going to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Qingxi lay across Guang Ling's back, watching the primeval forest draw closer.

"Of course I'm taking you to hunt a Soul Beast. Have you decided what kind you want for your third Soul Ring? By the way, what's your Martial Soul?" Guang Ling glanced curiously at the little girl on his back. With Innate Soul Power at level twenty, her Martial Soul must be no worse than the young master's.

But the girl was from the Dugu Family. Could it be a mutation of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul?

Qingxi reached her hand forward. A golden staff appeared in it, with two slowly undulating black Soul Rings around it.

"Coiling Dragon Staff?!" Guang Ling's flight faltered. He stared at the staff in the girl's hand and opened his usually closed left eye.

The thing before him looked exactly like the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul.

"Coiling Dragon Staff?" Qingxi looked at Guang Ling curiously, her gaze settling on his left eye. This was the first time she'd seen him open it. Snowflakes drifted through its deep blue, making it beautiful.

But the young man's expression seemed rather grim.

This wasn't the first time someone had called her Martial Soul the Coiling Dragon Staff.

After all, Qiankun was the name she'd given her staff.

Coiling Dragon Staff was the name given to it in this world. Did that mean there was another Martial Soul just like it?

"It's nothing." Guang Ling closed his left eye again. Though his expression remained grim, he gently rubbed Qingxi's head and continued flying.

More than the two black Soul Rings, what surprised Guang Ling was the girl's Martial Soul.

The Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul wasn't top-tier, so why could the girl's Innate Soul Power rival the young master's, with Soul Rings that surpassed his by far?

Then he remembered the girl's black hair and eyes, along with her Martial Soul. A cold glint flashed through Guang Ling's eyes.

Martial Souls were usually passed down through bloodlines. Could the girl be the illegitimate daughter of either Sixth or Seventh?

Sixth was steady by nature and never left the Worship Hall, so it could only be Seventh.

Thinking of that despicable Seventh, Guang Ling gritted his teeth in fury.

Once he got back, he'd settle the score properly.

"Girl, what's sealed inside your Martial Soul?" Guang Ling suddenly asked.

"Sealed?" Qingxi looked curious.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Guang Ling sighed and explained, "The Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul usually has some kind of ancient beast sealed inside it. The stronger the beast's abilities, the stronger the Martial Soul's innate talent."

For her talent to rival the young master's, there had to be some terrifying existence sealed inside her Martial Soul.

Qingxi looked at the Universe Staff in her hand. As if sensing her curious gaze, it nuzzled her fingers ingratiatingly.

Guang Ling glanced at the fidgety little staff. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. Her Martial Soul actually had a will of its own.

"I don't know either." She shook her head. But the Universe Staff really did possess its own will. She had entered the world inside the staff before, and found nothing unusual.

"By the way, what are your first and second Soul Skills?"

"My first Soul Skill is Prison Suppressor. It increases the Gravity Domain a hundredfold. It can control an area or suppress a single target, and it doubles the effect of attacks with dark attributes." Once compressed to the limit, it could turn into a ten-thousand-jin sword, falling from the sky with immense destructive power.

As her Soul Power increased, this power would grow stronger too.

It was somewhat like the Ascension Ladder, but its gravity was nowhere near as terrifying.

"My second Soul Skill is Evil Breaker. It eliminates all power other than my own." She didn't know what this Soul Skill was for either.

"A Domain skill?" Guang Ling was surprised. He hadn't expected the girl's first Soul Skill to be a Domain skill.

And the second Soul Skill... he'd never heard of a setup like that.

"I suggest you choose a Strength-type Soul Beast for your third Soul Ring." Guang Ling landed with Qingxi on a tree branch and pointed to a two-headed bear drinking by a lake nearby.

"This Brute Force Two-Headed Bear is around forty thousand years old. How about catching it for your third Soul Ring?" As he spoke, Guang Ling was about to fly down and grab the bear.

"Let it go by itself." Qingxi hurriedly stopped him. Seeing the young man's puzzled expression, she took out the Universe Staff and hurled it with all her strength.

Halfway through its flight, the little staff seemed to sense something. It swerved and shot off to the right at astonishing speed.
