Wind Path Killing Move: Thousand-Layer Waves

Qin Qi and the others searched the forest for about half a month before they were the first to encounter a Soul Beast suitable for Oscar.

"Little chef, support me. I'll help you kill the Soul Beast."

Qin Qi looked at Oscar. After spending this time together, he had given Oscar the nickname Little Chef.

Aside from his gender, Oscar fit the title quite well in every other respect.

"Okay."

At that moment, Oscar was like a helpless wife, able only to whimper tearfully as he drained the last of his Soul Power to make tofu for Qin Qi.

"Be careful, Qin Qi. This Soul Beast is probably between four hundred and eight hundred years old."

"Although it's a plant-type Soul Beast, it's still dangerous. If you can't beat it, come back immediately."

Flender called out with concern.

"..."

Qin Qi was a little speechless. He was starting to understand why Shrek Academy's students had died while hunting Soul Beasts.

They had not been attacked by Soul Beasts, but screwed over by their dean instead. The difference between four hundred and eight hundred years—

That was practically the difference between life and death.

"This plant-type Soul Beast is around six hundred and fifty years old, with a margin of error of no more than ten years."

"A normal Beast Martial Soul master's second Soul Ring should be around seven to eight hundred years."

"Tool Martial Soul masters are physically a little weaker, so most absorb a seven-hundred-year Soul Ring."

"Support-type masters should lower that by another level. Around six hundred years is the safest option."

Looking at the onion-like Soul Beast before him, Qin Qi gathered Soul Power in his fist as he spoke.

"Huh?"

After hearing Qin Qi's words, Oscar turned to look at the dean, his wide eyes filled with confusion.

There was such a distinction? Why had the dean never told them before?

"Ahem. Qin Ming, your little brother knows quite a lot. His studies must be excellent, right?"

Flender coughed twice and forced a smile, trying hard to conceal his embarrassment.

"Mm. Qin Qi has studied orthodox Soul Master theory under Teacher Meng Shenji since childhood. In this regard, he is already comparable to me."

Qin Ming had no intention of mocking Flender. He knew that Flender had also come from an unorthodox background.

When it came to Soul Master theory, he truly could not compare to a proper academy like Heaven Dou Academy. There was nothing shameful about that.

While everyone was talking, the onion Soul Beast had already reached Qin Qi and launched an attack.

"Wind Path Killing Move: Thousand-Layer Waves!"

Qin Qi unleashed his Charged Punch. Soul Power rode the force of his punch and struck the onion Soul Beast directly, instantly leaving it unable to move.

"Little chef, you're up."

Qin Qi turned to look at Oscar, then fed the tofu to the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu with one hand while eating some himself.

"What a powerful Soul Skill!"

"A wind-attributed Martial Soul? That's strong."

Flender swallowed, even more shocked inside.

If he remembered correctly, a seven-hundred-year Soul Beast was roughly comparable to a two-ring battle Soul Master.

Yet the boy before him had one-shotted it with a single move. His combat ability was truly formidable!

Coupled with theoretical knowledge so advanced that even Flender had never heard of it, was this kid not developing in every possible direction?

Compared to him, why did Flender suddenly feel like trash?

"A Soul Skill... I suppose it counts as a Soul Skill."

Qin Ming adjusted his glasses. He was too embarrassed to say that his little brother had simply shouted it at random.

It was not a Soul Skill at all. Qin Qi was just absurdly strong, and the force of his punch had knocked the Soul Beast down.

That so-called Wind Path Killing Move had merely been shouted for dramatic effect.

After that, Oscar absorbed his second Soul Ring and successfully unlocked his second Soul Skill.

"Watch my second Soul Skill: Young and Beautiful Clove of Garlic!"

Oscar formed an orchid gesture with his fingers and recited the Soul incantation in a seductive tone. Then, a clove of garlic appeared in his hand.

"Crunch, crunch."

"It tastes great. From now on, grilled meat won't be edible without your garlic."

Qin Qi took it and ate it immediately, sharing one clove with the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu as he gave his assessment.

"Wuwuwu, as long as you like it."

Oscar wanted to go home now. He felt as though Qin Qi had him completely under control.

After helping Oscar hunt his Soul Ring, everyone began helping Qin Qi search for one.

"Qin Ming, what kind of Soul Ring are you planning to get for your brother? About how many years?"

Although Flender was a profiteer, he still had some sense of decency. He did not say that they would leave as soon as his student found a Soul Ring.

Instead, he prepared to help Qin Qi obtain one.

"Mm... This time, we're planning to obtain a Soul Ring of around eleven thousand years. We'll choose a Crimson Flame Qilin Horse Soul Beast."

Before coming here, Qin Ming had already gathered information. A Ten-Thousand-Year Crimson Flame Qilin Horse had appeared nearby just a month ago.

If it had not been hunted, it should still be wandering around the area.

"A Crimson Flame Qilin Horse, huh? Mm, a good Soul Beast. Wait, how many thousand years did you say?"

Flender had never heard of a Crimson Flame Qilin Horse Soul Beast, but in order not to embarrass himself, he still responded.

"Dean, not a thousand-year Soul Ring, but a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

"I know that may be difficult for you to understand, but my brother's circumstances are a little special."

"His Soul Ring limit is far higher than an ordinary person's."

As Qin Ming spoke, he glanced at Qin Qi. Qin Qi immediately understood and released his Soul Rings.

Purple. Purple. Both Soul Rings were thousand-year Soul Rings!

"First Soul Ring, thousand years. Second Soul Ring, thousand years. Third Soul Ring, Ten-Thousand-Year... What kind of monster is this?!"

Flender could not help crying out. He had roamed the continent for so many years and seen all sorts of things.

But he had truly never seen a monster whose first Soul Ring was already a thousand-year Soul Ring!

"I... I think I'll have to be a little chef for the rest of my life."

"In the future, he won't force me to wear women's clothes, will he?!"

Oscar looked at the two purple Soul Rings behind Qin Qi and seemed to envision his miserable future.

"Well, if you're powerless to resist, then enjoy life. If I grew my hair out, I might actually look pretty good."

"Besides, it's not bad for a support-type master to find such a powerful assault-type master."

Oscar's motto in life was that if he could not resist life, then he might as well lie down and enjoy it.

"My situation is special. Let's search for the Soul Beast while I explain."

Qin Qi hooked an arm around Oscar's neck and spoke with a grin.

"Oh."

By now, Flender had gone somewhat numb. He could no longer spare attention for Oscar; he felt as though his entire worldview had been shattered.

Over the next few days, the four searched the surrounding area and found the Crimson Flame Qilin Horse after about three days.

It was a Soul Beast whose entire body burned with flames and which possessed extraordinary speed.

"Found it!"

Qin Qi and a young woman spoke at the same time. Afterward, they looked at each other, and both revealed hostility.

"Those wings... a Spine-tailed Swift of the Speed Clan. An extreme-speed Martial Soul."

Qin Qi narrowed his eyes. The Speed Clan was extremely fast, but their offensive power was terribly weak.

"Yan'er, what's wrong?"

A figure appeared before them in an instant. He held a folding fan and looked extremely elegant.

Yet eight Soul Rings appeared behind him—a Soul Douluo above level eighty!

"The Speed Clan's leader, White Crane. We're in trouble this time."

Qin Qi looked at White Crane and had already begun considering how to confront him head-on. Running was impossible.

The Speed Clan was far too fast. Trying to flee before them was simply courting death.
