The Second Martial Soul Awakens, Reckless Savage Demon Venerable!

"Is Qin Qi being a little too arrogant?"

Flander watched the scene in surprise, but at the same time, he felt that Qin Qi was being a bit too arrogant.

His opponent was a level-fifty Soul Ancestor. Wasn't it a bad idea to provoke her like this?

"He's always this arrogant."

Oscar snarked from the side.

Headmaster, you're only realizing now that this kid isn't a good person? Do you know I was bullied by him all the way here?!

"You... a warrior may be killed, but never humiliated!"

Bai Yan's fair little face instantly turned bright red. Furious, she launched an attack at Qin Qi.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, Bai Yan unleashed thirty-six attacks against Qin Qi, every one of them incredibly fast.

"Hahaha, no, I wasn't going to laugh, but I really can't hold it in."

"Are you scratching an itch for me? That was a fierce flurry of moves, but your results are a big fat zero—you didn't deal any damage at all."

Qin Qi looked at the golden light that remained completely unscathed and could not help praising the Invincible Vajra technique. It was awesome!

"Again! Again! Again!"

Hearing Qin Qi's mockery, Bai Yan's face reddened like an apple. Steam practically began rising from her head in fury.

She looked exactly like a boiling kettle.

Chain Wind Blades!

Hovering in midair, Bai Yan gathered all her soul power and released a barrage of wind blades.

"My turn, then."

Fire Style Killing Move: Morning Peacock!

Watching the wind blades rain down from the sky, Qin Qi swung both fists, unleashing countless exploding fireballs.

In an instant, they blanketed the area, and the powerful force of his punches shattered the wind blades.

Then, without losing any momentum, they surged toward Bai Yan.

"What terrifying power!"

Bai Yan was startled. Sweeping her gaze around, she found a path free of fist force and rushed through it at top speed.

Thud!

Bai Yan crashed hard into something. She looked up and discovered that she had run straight into Qin Qi's arms.

"Hello there."

Qin Qi tightly embraced Bai Yan, then exerted a little force.

Crack!

"Ah, it hurts!"

Bai Yan let out a scream. As an agility-type Soul Master, her defenses were fragile, and with just a little force from Qin Qi, she felt as though her bones were about to break.

"Stop!"

White Crane hurriedly shouted.

"Senior White Crane, don't panic. I'm not even using any strength."

"Miss Bai Yan, do you admit defeat? Did I win this round?"

Qin Qi looked at Bai Yan, who was restrained by his killing move—Hugging a Girl to Death—and asked.

"I... don't!"

Looking at Qin Qi, who was clearly much younger than her, Bai Yan answered with an unconvinced expression.

"Is that so? Then let's go again."

Qin Qi applied a little more force. Bai Yan's already slender waist became even slimmer.

"Do you admit defeat now?"

Qin Qi asked again.

"I... I... don't!"

Bai Yan felt as if her waist had broken. The intense pain made her clench her teeth, while the pressure on her abdomen left her unable to breathe.

But for the sake of her pride, she stubbornly refused to yield.

"No, are you just being stubborn to the bitter end? You still won't admit defeat even like this?"

Qin Qi looked at Bai Yan, speechless.

You're about to be squeezed to death by me, and you're still putting on a tough front. Can't you just give in and say you surrender?

"Senior White Crane, you saw it. She said herself that she refuses to admit defeat. I'm going to use more force again, so don't blame me if something happens."

Qin Qi glanced at White Crane and said.

"D-Don't, don't use so much force. Yan'er can't take it."

White Crane spoke with a face full of worry.

"Then, Senior White Crane, do you admit defeat?"

Qin Qi looked at White Crane. Since Bai Yan refused to concede, he would not ask her. He would ask White Crane directly instead.

"Cough, cough, well... you are indeed powerful, young friend. Your defense is truly impressive."

"Your strength is also quite commendable, but you are still somewhat lacking in speed."

"Yan'er was careless this time. If she had been more cautious and had not fallen for your scheme, she would not have been captured."

"Overall, although you won, we did not lose. We were merely careless."

White Crane coughed twice before speaking with a solemn expression.

"Is everyone in your clan this shameless?"

Qin Qi could not hold back anymore. Bai Yan being like this was one thing, but how could even the clan leader be this shameless?

It was over. The Agility Clan was finished. They were beyond saving.

"Though I had long heard that the Agility Clan cared immensely about their pride, finding excuses even now is honestly embarrassing to watch."

Flander thought his own skin was thick enough, but he had not expected to encounter someone even thicker-skinned.

"Either way, I refuse to accept this!"

Bai Yan gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"What exactly are you dissatisfied with? Don't start talking about being careless."

"Schemes are part of battle to begin with. Besides, I'm only level thirty, while you're level fifty. You had the advantage from the start."

"Yet you still lost to me. What do you have to be dissatisfied with?"

"I'll give you another chance. I'll stand here without moving and let you hit me. Can you even hurt me?"

Qin Qi released Bai Yan, then spread his arms wide, assuming a posture that invited her to attack as she pleased.

"I..."

Bai Yan looked at Qin Qi. She raised her hand, then lowered it again. She admitted that she could not hurt him.

"Besides, this soul beast is eleven thousand years old, nearly twelve thousand."

"With your current physical constitution, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring would already be extremely difficult. Twelve thousand years would be enough to kill you."

Qin Qi looked at Bai Yan. If she were not from the Agility Clan, he would not have bothered wasting his breath.

He would have simply killed the soul beast and begun absorbing its soul ring. But since they were from the Agility Clan, he had no choice but to stay on guard.

What if White Crane returned and interfered while he was absorbing the soul ring? If that caused him to lose control, it would be over.

And White Crane was so fast that he could not even guard against him properly.

"Twelve thousand years... Isn't this a nine-thousand-year soul beast?"

White Crane frowned beside them. After taking a careful look at the Crimson Flame Qilin Horse, he asked in confusion.

"Nine thousand years? Don't joke around. A Crimson Flame Qilin Horse's scales and the flames beneath its hooves vary according to its age."

"At the thousand-year level, they are orange-red. At the ten-thousand-year level, they are deep blue. The flames beneath this one's hooves are light blue, so it is definitely around ten thousand years old."

Qin Qi spoke directly. He was extremely confident in his judgment, and the Crimson Flame Qilin Horse's traits were easy to distinguish. He could not possibly be mistaken.

"Crimson Flame Qilin Horses have always appeared as one male and one female. Clan Leader White Crane, could the one you were searching for have been the other Crimson Flame Qilin Horse?"

Qin Ming pushed up his glasses and spoke.

"This!"

White Crane's expression turned exceedingly ugly. After carefully comparing them, he realized that this one did indeed have subtle differences from the one he had set his sights on.

But how could he admit it now? Say that he had mistaken it, that this entire conflict had merely been a farce?

Or stubbornly insist that it was this one and claim that he had merely misjudged its age? Either option would be utterly humiliating.

"Ah, there's a soul beast over there!"

White Crane ran off directly. He was so fast that everyone only saw a blur before he vanished without a trace.

"Your clan leader ran away."

Qin Qi looked at Bai Yan. "Aren't you leaving?"

"Y-You just wait. Sooner or later, I'll get my revenge. And I still refuse to accept this."

Bai Yan's face remained flushed as she spoke. She felt incredibly humiliated and awkward inside.

"Still being stubborn? If you've got the guts, come down here. I'll strip your clothes off right now and tie you to a tree. Let's see if you can keep acting tough then."

Qin Qi pointed at Bai Yan in the sky. He hated people who stubbornly refused to admit defeat the most.

"N-No!"

Bai Yan fled as she spoke, moving so quickly that she even left behind an afterimage.

"That was only because she had a Soul Douluo by her side. Otherwise, no matter what, I'd have shown her what I'm capable of."

"Pah."

Qin Qi spat on the ground and spoke irritably.

"Alright, enough about that. Start preparing to absorb the soul ring."

Qin Ming said.

Over the following period, with Qin Ming's assistance, Qin Qi successfully hunted the Crimson Flame Qilin Horse and absorbed its ten-thousand-year soul ring.

After he absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring, the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu suddenly merged into his body and began feasting wildly within Qin Qi's body.

Yet Qin Qi did not feel any pain. Instead, he felt filled with strength. Before long, the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu was full.

A savage, domineering, and tyrannical aura radiated from Qin Qi. An additional layer of blood-red cloak appeared around him.

Behind him appeared the phantom of a bare-chested man with bulging muscles, his entire body covered in totem markings!
