The Poor Four-Eyed Scale-Armored Beast; The God-Slaying Hammer Makes Its Debut! / The Uncrowned King!

"Holy crap, you absorbed it that fast? Come on, tell me what your first Soul Skill is!"

Li Jiutian asked eagerly.

"Hehe, my first Soul Skill is called Encouragement. It can increase my teammates' movement speed by 30% and give them a shield that lasts for two seconds."

"With my current Soul Power, I can boost up to three teammates at once."

"If there are enemies nearby, using Encouragement will reduce their movement speed by 10%. I can target up to three enemies with this slowing effect, too."

Luo Zixuan explained confidently.

"It can boost allies and weaken enemies? What an overpowered first Soul Skill! The Jade Scepter is incredible!"

"As expected of my little sister—she's amazing. This is ten thousand times better than some Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

Li Jiutian was also quite shocked. He'd expected the Jade Scepter Martial Soul to be high-quality, but he hadn't imagined it would be so heaven-defying!

Just then, a roar suddenly rang out, jolting them from their joy!

Chapter 9: Poor Four-Eyed Scaled Beast; the God-Slaying Hammer Makes Its Debut!

A massive brown dragon circled above their heads.

"Brother, what kind of Soul Beast is that?"

Luo Zixuan nervously hid behind Li Jiutian, frightened.

"That's a Four-Eyed Scaled Beast with four thousand years of cultivation!"

"Xiao Xuan, use your first Soul Skill to boost me in a moment. Then I'll draw it away while you run to the outskirts of Sunset Forest and wait for me."

Li Jiutian stared intently at the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast, then spoke softly.

"First Soul Skill, Encouragement!"

The Yellow Soul Ring around Luo Zixuan flickered faintly. The Jade Scepter then glowed green, enveloping Li Jiutian.

"What a terrifying boost! No wonder it's the Jade Scepter. I'm already incredibly fast in the air, and with this 30% increase to my movement speed, I can almost move faster than a Soul Douluo!"

"Xiao Xuan, get out of here. Leave the rest to me!"

Li Jiutian warned her, then spread his Angel Wings and shot toward the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast in a streak of golden light!

"Be careful, Brother!"

After saying this, Luo Zixuan left without looking back. She knew that staying here would only get in the way.

The Four-Eyed Scaled Beast roared at the oncoming Li Jiutian and rammed at him with its head!

"First Soul Skill, Vacuum Slash!"

Li Jiutian was now less than three meters from the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast. At such close range, Vacuum Slash could unleash devastating power.

"Die!"

A five-meter-long blade of light appeared in the air and shot straight toward the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast's head!

The Four-Eyed Scaled Beast roared, then suddenly whipped its tail and knocked the blade of light aside!

Its tail was badly wounded, with a five-meter-long gash across it.

"Damn, that big brute's hide is thick!"

"My Soul Power is still too low. Otherwise, I'd make short work of it!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the same Four-Eyed Scaled Beast Liu Erlong beat to a pulp back then!"

Li Jiutian thought with a frown.

The Four-Eyed Scaled Beast roared and charged at Li Jiutian, clearly enraged.

But no matter how furiously it attacked, it couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

Li Jiutian's Martial Soul was the Eight-Winged Angel, which already made him incredibly fast in the air. With Encouragement boosting his movement speed by 30%, how could the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast possibly keep up?

After more than ten minutes, the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast stopped attacking.

"Come on, keep going! You can't even catch up with my farts!"

Li Jiutian shouted mockingly.

The Four-Eyed Scaled Beast suddenly turned its head and looked into the distance. A cold glint flashed in its eyes before it flew toward the outskirts!

"Not good! That direction is... Luo Zixuan!"

"This beast is devious!"

Li Jiutian raced after the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast at top speed!

"Help, Brother!"

Luo Zixuan looked back and screamed. The Four-Eyed Scaled Beast was right in front of her, its blood-red maw gaping as though it meant to swallow her whole!

"Don't... you dare... touch my sister!"

Seeing that he wouldn't make it in time, Li Jiutian roared. Black light enveloped his left hand.

"Boom!"

The weather over Sunset Forest suddenly changed, and darkness swallowed the entire forest. Behind the dark clouds overhead, countless thunderbolts rumbled.

"Die!"

Li Jiutian's eyes turned cold. In his left hand, he now gripped a gigantic five-meter-long hammer.

The hammer was entirely black. Two black gems were embedded in its head, which was covered in dense, ancient patterns that now pulsed with black light.

A black dragon wound around the handle, so lifelike it seemed to be alive.

Li Jiutian held the eight-hundred-jin God-Slaying Hammer firmly in his hand, then swung it hard, hurling it toward the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast's head!

Just as the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast was about to bite Luo Zixuan, a tremendous "BANG!" rang out. The beast was sent flying, crashing into a mountain eight hundred meters away!

A huge crater had been smashed into the Four-Eyed Scaled Beast's head, and its internal organs had been jolted into disarray. Still, it summoned the last of its strength and fled in a sorry state.

Li Jiutian put away the God-Slaying Hammer and didn't bother to pursue the beast.

"Brother, you... you actually have two Martial Souls! Are you the legendary Twin Martial Souls user?"

Luo Zixuan had been stunned by that strike. She turned to him and asked.

Li Jiutian walked up to her and was just about to speak when his vision went black and he collapsed.

"Brother, what's wrong? Wake up!"

Luo Zixuan cried anxiously.

The next day.

Noon.

Inside a dormitory at Spirit Hall Primary Academy.

Li Jiutian slowly opened his eyes, sat up in bed, and rubbed his head.

"I didn't expect using the God-Slaying Hammer yesterday to drain my Soul Power and knock me out."

"The God-Slaying Hammer is powerful, but my current Soul Power isn't enough to wield it. I'll have to wait until I reach Soul King at the very least."

Feeling the bed shift, Luo Zixuan rubbed her eyes and said sleepily, "Brother, you're finally awake!"

"Yeah, I used up too much Soul Power yesterday, so I passed out."

"Xiao Xuan, what level is your Soul Power now?"

Li Jiutian patted her little head affectionately as he asked.

"I'm at level fifteen now."

"Brother, are you the legendary Twin Martial Souls user?"

Luo Zixuan's eyes sparkled as she pressed him for an answer.

"Yeah, but don't tell anyone about it for now."

"Come on. We haven't eaten since last night, so you must be hungry. I'll take you to the dining hall!"

Li Jiutian smiled and took Luo Zixuan by the hand as they headed for the dining hall.

Today, Luo Zixuan had lamb chops again, while Li Jiutian drank two bowls of beef soup.

"Brother, meeting you really is my good fortune."

After finishing her lamb chops, Luo Zixuan said with a blissful expression.

"Meeting you is my little stroke of good fortune, too."

"If you hadn't boosted me last night, dealing with that Four-Eyed Scaled Beast would've been pretty tricky."

"I can sense that your Jade Scepter is definitely more than just a support-type Martial Soul!"

Li Jiutian smiled as he replied.

"You're Li Jiutian, right?"

Just then, a noisy voice called out from behind them.

"Who are you?"

Li Jiutian scratched his head in confusion as he looked at the freckle-faced boy in front of him.

"Big brother, that's him! He acts all tough in the dorm and bullies me!"

A girl stepped out from behind him and spoke pitifully. It was Wang Ya.

"I'm Wang Dafa! You dared to bully my little sister? You and I aren't done yet!"

As soon as the freckle-faced boy finished speaking, more than ten boys surrounded Li Jiutian and Luo Zixuan.

Wang Ya was a total green tea. Li Jiutian had never bullied her; all he'd done was tell her to stay away from Luo Zixuan, and she'd gone and pulled a stunt like this...

Hearing Wang Dafa's name reminded Li Jiutian of the pun it sounded like, and he couldn't help laughing.

"You brat, you're laughing at me!"

Wang Dafa was about to attack, but one of his lackeys stopped him.

"Big brother, there isn't enough room to fight in the dining hall. More importantly, there are teachers eating here!"

The lackey murmured softly.

"If you're a man, meet us in the little woods behind the academy and fight us one-on-one!"

Wang Dafa said viciously.

"Oh? How are we doing this one-on-one?"

After speaking, Li Jiutian laughed. "Sorry, that's such a textbook line from a nameless thug. I couldn't hold it in."

"Listen up, brat. Either you fight all ten of us by yourself, or all ten of us fight you. Take your pick!"

"If you're a man, get moving and follow us!"

Wang Dafa taunted him, then led his group toward the little woods.

"Brother!" Luo Zixuan nervously tugged at his arm.

"Don't worry. They're just a bunch of trash!"

Li Jiutian pulled his arm free and strode toward the little woods.

In the woods, ten boys surrounded Li Jiutian, making sure he couldn't run away.

"Brat, get down on your knees and knock your head against the ground three times, then call me Grandpa. I might consider letting you go!"

Wang Dafa taunted him.
