Qiangu Zhangting's Provocation, a Walking Treasure Chest
Upon seeing the person approaching, Na'er's smiling face instantly turned cold.
Walking beside Na'er, Jiang Xiu's heart stirred slightly. Looking at this person who Spirit Pagoda, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Greetings, Tower Master Leng." At this moment, Qiangu Zhangting pretended as if he had just noticed the three of them, went straight to Leng Yaozhu and bowed slightly, then looked at Na'er and said with a smile:
"Long time no see, Miss Na'er."
"It would be best if we never met again," Na'er said without any attempt to hide it. This person was like a leech, always following her around the Spirit Pagoda.
"Uh..." Qiangu Zhangting was momentarily speechless upon hearing this, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.
Leng Yaozhu tucked her hands into her red robe, her phoenix eyes gazing silently at Qiangu Zhangting, devoid of any emotion.
She knew about what Qiangu Zhangting had done. Half a month ago, after returning from the Star Luo Continent, she went directly to Qiangu Dongfeng's door to warn him.
She had suffered a heartbreak in the past, which even led to a falling out with her younger sister and caused her sister to go astray. Therefore, she would not allow her own experience to be repeated in her apprentice.
However, when she went to find Qiangu Dongfeng, Qiangu Dongfeng spouted nonsense, saying that young people should encourage and communicate with each other, and that Na'er and Zhang Ting would be the pillars of the Spirit Pagoda in the future.
However, she did not listen to Qiangu Dongfeng's nonsense. Instead, she warned him that if Qiangu Zhangting Qiangu Dongfeng to harass Na'er, he should not blame her if the Qiangu Family ended.
Since then, Qiangu Zhangting has rarely come to see Na'er, but this time Qiangu Zhangting actually dared to offer himself up again...
Thinking of this, Leng Yaozhu's dark red eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp glint suddenly flashed across them.
But at that moment, Qiangu Zhangting turned to Jiang Xiu and smiled like a gentleman, saying, "This must be His Excellency Body disciple. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student."
"I've heard that the Body Sect's combat techniques are extremely powerful, and I've also seen the video of Jiang Xiu's battle against the Shrek Academy during the Skysea Alliance. I wonder if I could witness it for myself?"
Upon hearing this, before Jiang Xiu could even speak, Na'er looked at Qiangu Zhangting as if he were an idiot. "Qiangu Zhangting, have you encountered Brain-Eating Beast?"
When Qiangu Zhangting saw that Na'er had taken the initiative to speak to him, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Oh? What do you mean by that, Miss Na'er? I haven't left the Spirit Pagoda these past few days and haven't encountered Brain-Eating Beast, but thank you for your concern, Miss Na'er."
"That's terrible. Even without encountering Brain-Eating Beast, he can still say such mindless things. He's probably beyond saving." Na'er looked at Qiangu Zhangting with pity.
Upon hearing this, Qiangu Zhangting's face immediately showed a hint of annoyance. Was Na'er implying that he was brainless?
Then he heard Na'er continue, "Qiangu Zhangting, don't you think about it? You're almost twenty years old and have the cultivation of a late-stage Soul Emperor, yet you come to challenge the leader who just broke through to the Soul Ancestor?"
You're still a bit far from being a god, but you're already very far from being human. No! This is something no human could even conceive of."
With a flick of her small hand, Na'er shielded Jiang Xiu behind her and spoke ruthlessly to Qiangu Zhangting.
Upon hearing this, Qiangu Zhangting's face showed even more embarrassment and annoyance, and he could barely maintain his warm smile.
He's the heir of the Spirit Pagoda; no one had ever dared to speak to him like that before!
Upon witnessing what was happening, the staff of the Spirit Pagoda on one side of the corridor quickly moved away and began to take emergency evacuation.
But before leaving, someone couldn't help but let out a laugh, which pierced Qiangu Zhangting's ears even more deeply.
Looking at Na'er in front of him, Jiang Xiu's lips curled up slightly. He hadn't expected the quirky Na'er to have this side to her.
However, in order to prevent Qiangu Zhangting from continuing to harass Na'er, he had to put an end to this matter today.
He also took the opportunity to test his newly acquired fourth Soul Skill and see if the young master of the Spirit Pagoda was really as much of a fraud as rumored.
"Master, Boss, let's go." After spraying the Qiangu Zhangting, Na'er took Jiang Xiu's arm and prepared to cross the Qiangu Zhangting and walk into the depths of the corridor.
"Wait a minute!" Qiangu Zhangting raised his hand to stop him, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xiu. "Jiang Xiu, let's make a bet. I will suppress my cultivation and fight you at the same level. If you don't accept the challenge, wouldn't that prove that the Body Sect's combat techniques are just empty words?"
"Ha!" Na'er laughed in exasperation upon hearing this. "Are you a child? You're actually playing these betting games."
"If you really want to test whether the Body Sect is just a name without substance, you should wait until Uncle Mu breaks through to the Limit Douluo, then have your grandfather give it a try and see if he dares."
Indeed, not everyone in this world possesses the extraordinary wisdom she has; we must allow for the existence of fools.
"You!" Qiangu Zhangting was immediately anxious, but remembering his grandfather's instructions, he stopped pretending and directly reached into his Storage Soul Tool to take out a jade box, revealing the exquisite black and red scorpion Scorpion Tiger External Soul Bone inside.
"If you can beat me, I'll give you this!"
Qiangu Zhangting took out the External Soul Bone, clenched it tightly in his hand, and said to Jiang Xiu.
When Jiang Xiu saw this Soul Bone, his purple eyes flashed slightly, and the Scorpion Tiger Soul Spirit within him was filled with excitement. Wasn't this the Soul Bone that originated from him?
He was just worried about how to get it back from Qiangu Dongfeng, but unexpectedly, Qiangu Zhangting took the initiative to bring the Soul Bone to his door. He really didn't know which brilliant person came up with the idea.
Upon seeing the Soul Bone Soul Bone, Leng Yaozhu glanced at Jiang Xiu silently, clearly recognizing it as well.
"Since you want to see if the Body Sect is any good, then I'll also take this opportunity to learn from your Qiangu Family's Coiling Dragon Staff and see if it truly has the power to Battle Heaven Fight Earth." Jiang Xiu stepped forward, sidestepping to block Na'er, and said softly.
"If I win, you should avoid Na'er whenever you see her in the future. Don't be so shameless."
Having Soul Bone and being able to help Na'er solve the problem of the Qiangu Zhangting is a win-win situation.
"Boss..." Na'er hesitated, tugging at Jiang Xiu's sleeve with her small hand, a hint of worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.
If they were of the same level and age, she would naturally trust Jiang Xiu, but Qiangu Zhangting was much older than Jiang Xiu, and there were many differences between them.
"Don't worry." Jiang Xiu smiled slightly, patted Na'er's little hand, and secretly transmitted his voice, "It's only right for the boss to protect his little brother."
Hearing the voice beside her, Na'er slightly raised her purple eyes and looked at Jiang Xiu's tall and straight back in front of her, and her heart suddenly stirred.
"No problem." Qiangu Zhangting agreed without hesitation. He never thought he would lose to a young man who had just broken through to the Soul Ancestor.
Do you really think he's been doing all these years of cultivation for nothing?
No matter how you look at it, he has the advantage!
"Then let's stop arguing and head to the battlefield now." Fearing that Jiang Xiu change his mind, Qiangu Zhangting put away the jade box and took the lead towards the battlefield inside the Spirit Pagoda.
Leng Yaozhu looked at Jiang Xiu and saw Jiang Xiu nod slightly, so she stopped trying to persuade Jiang Xiu and trusted his own decision.
However, this was clearly Qiangu Dongfeng's idea. From now on, she must seize the opportunity to gain more status within the Spirit Pagoda to prevent Qiangu Dongfeng from engaging in such underhanded tactics again.
In a short while, the three arrived at the spacious battlefield, where the surrounding area and the ground were made of hard and solid silver-white metal, enough to withstand attacks from Soul Master below the Soul Saint.
"This time, we'll entrust the referee to Tower Master Leng. I'm confident that with Tower Master Leng's credibility, he will deliver a fair judgment."
Walking to the center of the battlefield, Qiangu Zhangting bowed slightly to Leng Yaozhu.
"This Tower Master wouldn't stoop to your grandfather's level," Leng Yaozhu said coldly. "Now, lower your cultivation to level forty-two, the same level as Xiao Xiu."
After absorbing the Scorpion Tiger Martial Soul, Jiang Xiu did not reach level 40, but jumped two levels to level 42. This was because of the essence that Elder Jin had stored in Jiang Xiu's body when he was inside the Golden Ancient Tree.
During this period, Soul Master no longer directly Soul Ring from the corpses of Soul Beast, as they did ten thousand and twenty thousand years ago. Back then, Soul Ring contained the essence of the entire Soul Beast's body, which could then nourish the Soul Master Soul Master and improve their cultivation.
However, most Soul Spirit are now artificially created, and their main function is to provide Soul Ring and Soul Skill to help Soul Master break through levels. Therefore, after Soul Master absorbs Soul Spirit, it is difficult for the Soul Master to receive spiritual support in terms of cultivation. At most, the Soul Master can receive spiritual support in terms of Divine Power.
Just like when Tang Wulin absorbed the Soul Spirit the ten-thousand-year-old Tyrant Dragon, he only broke through to level forty.
The true essence of the Scorpion Tiger lies primarily in its External Soul Bone and inner core.
"That's natural." Upon hearing Leng Yaozhu's words, Qiangu Zhangting voluntarily sealed his cultivation level, lowering it to level forty-two, and then stared intently at Jiang Xiu.
This person was a formidable enemy on his path to obtaining Na'er, and he vowed to defeat him today, preferably shattering his Dao heart and causing him to never recover.
Jiang Xiu, however, looked calmly at the Qiangu Zhangting.
As far as he knew, Qiangu Zhangting Ting didn't even make his own Battle Armor, so after awakening his Martial Soul, all he had to do was cultivate.
Now, at nearly twenty years old, he has only reached the late stage of Soul Emperor, not even comparable to the two from the Yuanen Family. With Innate Full Soul Power and such abundant resources from the Spirit Pagoda, to have cultivated to this level is truly a waste of his potential.
As the two walked to either side of the arena, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes flashed, and she softly asked Na'er beside her:
"Na'er, who do you think will win, Xiao Xiu or Qiangu Zhangting?"
"Of course it's the boss!" Na'er said firmly.
"Oh? Why?" Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled softly.
"Because people who truly want to win don't have smiles on their faces," Na'er said earnestly.
Jiang Xiu's expression was now completely calm, just like when he fought against Shrek Academy Team in the Skysea Alliance.
This time, however, Jiang Xiu did it more for her sake...
After the two took their positions, Leng Yaozhu prepared to announce the start.
Meanwhile, in the office of the Spirit Pagoda Master, Qian Gu Dong Feng was looking at the Soul Guidance Screen, which displayed the scene on the battlefield.
