Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul

Guang Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement as he teased, "This is a 100,000-year Soul Beast, you know. Do you realize how precious a 100,000-year Soul Beast is? There are only two known to exist in the entire Star Dou Great Forest at the moment."

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

"Filthy?" Guang Ling raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Qingxi would say that.

Qingxi gave a light cough, her expression unnatural as she said, "Raise a few rabbits yourself and you'll know."

A rabbit that had cultivated for 100,000 years—how clean could it possibly be?

"I'll give it a try if I get the chance, but for a 100,000-year Soul Beast to actually fall in love with a human, it's truly... seeking death." Guang Ling looked out the window with a playful expression. Honestly, he didn't think much of such Soul Beasts; their brains weren't up to par.

It was only because 100,000-year Soul Beasts were so rare on the continent that they were considered precious.

A waiter walked over with various dishes and snacks, "Please enjoy your meal, you two."

Downstairs.

"Brother, it's a misunderstanding. We'll resolve this thing soon, please show us some face." Flender was negotiating with the lead knight. As he spoke, he quietly slipped a bag of Gold Soul Coins into the man's hand, his face wearing a fawning smile while his heart ached terribly.

"A misunderstanding?" The captain weighed the bag in his hand, revealing a malicious grin. "You're a sensible man, but I'm afraid this money isn't enough for my brothers to split."

As he spoke, he gestured toward the knights behind him.

The smile on Flender's face stiffened. Quite reluctantly, he pulled out another bag of gold coins, "Brother, have some mercy. We'll clear away this ice wall very soon."

The lead captain took the money bag and nodded with satisfaction, "I'll give you one day. I hope this ice wall is gone by the time we patrol tomorrow."

"Certainly, certainly. Take care, brother." Flender smiled obsequiously, seeing the men off with a flattering air. The moment they were out of sight, his face immediately collapsed.

My money!!!

"Wuu wuu wuu... Third Brother..."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the sobbing Xiao Wu, his already stiff face turning even colder. "Crying, crying, all you know is how to cry! If it weren't for you, would Xiao San have ended up like this?"

Xiao Wu's body stiffened, her sobbing paused, and she said desolately, "It's all my fault..."

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

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, who had already lost consciousness inside the ice wall. At this moment, she hated her own incompetence.

She wanted nothing more than to offer a sacrifice for Tang San right now, but given Tang San's current strength, she feared his Martial Soul could not withstand her Soul Ring.

It was all her fault that Third Brother was suffering.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu covered her face and began to cry again.

Full of remorse and hatred intertwined, Qiankun Mingxin!!!

"Xiaogang, is there really no other way?" Flender walked to Yu Xiaogang's side. At this moment, he was more concerned about the three people inside the ice wall than the sobbing Xiao Wu.

He had clearly told the Little Monsters not to provoke Qiankun again, yet just because Xiao Wu was injured, they had forgotten his words entirely.

Flender was absolutely furious inside!!

"They have been frozen for too long. If it weren't for the fact that a Soul Master's physique is superior to an ordinary person's, they would have died long ago. If we use brute force to break the ice wall, the Little Monsters will shatter like a broken bowl. We must use an equivalent force to dissolve it from the inside." Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with worry.

If anything happened to Xiao San, given the temper of His Excellency Clear Sky, they at Shrek would likely not survive.

"I have already done my best to notify Xiao San's father. Now, we can only do our part and leave the rest to fate." He looked toward the horizon, where endless dark clouds seemed to be rolling in his eyes.

Seeing that the spectacle was mostly over, Guang Ling took Qingxi and flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest after their meal.

"What are we going to the Star Dou Great Forest for?" Qingxi lay on Guang Ling's back, watching the primeval forest grow closer.

"To hunt a Soul Beast for you, of course. Have you decided what type you want for your third Soul Ring? By the way, what is your Martial Soul?" Guang Ling looked at the little girl on his back with curiosity. With an innate Soul Power of level twenty, he assumed it was a Martial Soul not inferior to the Young Master's.

However, the girl was a child of the Dugu Family; could it be a mutation of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul?

Qingxi reached her hand forward, and a golden staff manifested in her palm. Around the staff, two black Soul Rings pulsed slowly.

"Coiling Dragon Staff?!" Guang Ling's flight faltered. He looked at the staff in the girl's hand and opened his left eye, which he had kept closed until now.

The object before him could be said to look exactly like the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul.

"Coiling Dragon Staff?" Qingxi looked at Guang Ling curiously, her gaze landing on his left eye. This was the first time she had seen him open that eye; it was a deep blue with snowflakes drifting within it, which was very beautiful.

It was just that the youth's expression seemed somewhat ugly.

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

After all, Qiankun was the name she had given to her staff.

But since Coiling Dragon Staff was the name used in this world, did that mean there was another identical Martial Soul?

"It's nothing." Guang Ling closed his left eye again. Even though his expression remained somewhat grim, he still gently ruffled Qingxi's hair and continued flying.

Compared to those two black Soul Rings, what surprised Guang Ling even more was the girl's Martial Soul.

The Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul was not of top-tier quality, so why was the girl's innate Soul Power comparable to the Young Master's, and her Soul Rings far superior to his?

Connecting this to the girl's black hair, black eyes, and her Martial Soul, a flash of coldness crossed Guang Ling's eyes.

Martial Souls were always passed down through bloodlines. Could the girl be the illegitimate daughter of Number Six or Number Seven?!

Number Six had a steady personality and never liked to leave the Consecration Hall, so it could only be Number Seven.

Thinking of the insufferable Number Seven, Guang Ling gritted his teeth in anger.

When he returned, he would certainly settle this score properly.

"Girl, what is sealed within your Martial Soul?" Guang Ling asked suddenly.

"Sealed?" Qingxi looked full of curiosity.

Seeing her confusion, Guang Ling sighed and explained, "A Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul usually has some kind of ancient exotic beast sealed within it. The stronger the beast's ability, the greater the Martial Soul's talent."

To be able to rival the young master's talent, the girl's Martial Soul must surely have some terrifying existence sealed inside.

Qingxi looked at the Universe Staff in her hand; the latter seemed to sense her probing gaze and rubbed against her fingers as if trying to curry favor.

Guang Ling glanced at the coy little staff, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes—this Martial Soul actually possessed self-awareness.

"I don't know either." She shook her head, but the Universe Staff did indeed possess self-awareness; she had entered the world inside the staff before, and there had been nothing unusual.

"Right, what are your first and second Soul Skills?"

"My first Soul Skill, Prison Suppressor, increases the gravity field by a hundredfold. It can be used for area control or single-target suppression, and it doubles the damage against dark-attribute attacks." Once compressed to the extreme, it could transform into a sharp blade weighing tens of thousands of catties, descending from the sky with immense lethality.

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

It was somewhat similar to the Ascension Ladder, though the gravity was far less terrifying than that of the ladder.

"My second Soul Skill, Evil Breaker, eliminates all forces other than my own." She did not know what use this skill had either.

"A domain skill?" Guang Ling was somewhat surprised; he had not expected the girl's first Soul Skill to be a domain skill.

And the second Soul Skill... such a configuration was something he had never heard of before.

"This old man suggests that you choose a strength-type soul beast for your third Soul Ring." Guang Ling brought Qingxi to land on the branch of an ancient tree, pointing toward a Brute Force Two-Headed Bear drinking water by the lake not far away.

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

"Let it go itself." Qingxi hurriedly held him back. Seeing the young man's puzzled expression, she took out the Universe Staff and threw it with all her might.

The little staff, having flown halfway, seemed to sense something; it made a sharp turn and darted to the right with astonishing speed.
