Snake-Shaped Nemesis, Awakening the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes!

She Xian stared at the pair of emerald-green eyes in the mirror, his mind completely blank.

Three flower-shaped patterns slowly rotated at the center of his pupils.

They were bewitching, mysterious, and carried an air of enigma utterly at odds with his six-year-old face.

Were these his eyes?

Just as he stood there in a daze, a voice suddenly exploded in his mind.

It was Medusa Queen's voice.

And she had never sounded so shocked before!

"Are these... the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes?!"

Her tone was filled with disbelief. "How is that possible?"

She Xian's heart jolted.

Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes.

Those five words struck his mind like a bolt of thunder.

Of course he knew what they were.

Qing Lin's signature talent from Battle Through the Heavens—the natural nemesis of snake-shaped magical beasts, a legendary special eye technique!

His eyes had become the same as Qing Lin's?!

A cold sweat instantly broke out across She Xian's back.

Little White was also startled by Medusa Queen's rare loss of composure and could not help asking softly.

"Big Sister, what are the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes? Why are you so shocked?"

Under normal circumstances, Medusa Queen would have coldly snapped back at being called "Big Sister."

But now,

she did not even have the mind to correct her.

Medusa Queen's voice carried emotions so complex they had reached an extreme.

"The Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes are a legendary special ocular constitution."

"They are exceedingly rare and only appear in mixed descendants of humans and snake-people."

Her tone was grave.

"This eye technique is an ancestral bloodline reversion from the Snake-People Tribe's progenitor, the Heavenly Snake Emperor."

"Those who possess the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes are the natural nemesis of all snake-shaped magical beasts."

The Heavenly Snake Emperor!

The progenitor of the snake-people!

She Xian's breathing quickened.

As the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, Medusa Queen naturally knew everything about this bloodline talent inherited from her race's progenitor.

And her shock at this moment showed precisely how significant this eye technique was.

Yet Medusa Queen was even more perplexed.

"I do not understand."

Her tone was thick with confusion. "The Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes can only awaken in those of mixed human and snake-person blood."

"But you..."

She paused, then said with certainty, "You are clearly a pure human. There is not the slightest trace of snake-person blood in you."

"Why did you awaken the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes?"

She Xian could not answer that question either.

He was a transmigrator who had been reborn as Snake Spear Douluo's grandson, with entirely human blood.

He had nothing whatsoever to do with the snake-people's progenitor.

Yet he had somehow grown a pair of eyes identical to Qing Lin's.

She Xian had a faint premonition.

This was probably something caused by Medusa Queen, his martial soul from another world.

Perhaps even Medusa Queen herself did not know about this effect.

"Xian'er."

Qian Renxue's voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

She stared intently at She Xian's emerald-green eyes, her expression solemn.

"What exactly is going on with your eyes?"

She Xian gave a dry cough and hurriedly organized his words.

"Reporting to Teacher, it seems this disciple has awakened a special talent."

He scratched his head, doing his best to make his expression look natural.

"It is called the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes."

Qian Renxue's golden eyes narrowed slightly. "Awakened talent?"

Genuine surprise showed in her voice.

"I have never heard of anyone awakening a special talent after absorbing a soul ring."

This truly exceeded her understanding.

Soul rings granted soul skills. That was common knowledge.

Yet after absorbing the Icebound Python's soul ring, She Xian had not only gained the enhancement soul skill White Snake Transforms into a Flood Dragon, but had also awakened a pair of strange eyes.

This could no longer be explained by common sense.

Qian Renxue steadied herself and looked at She Xian's eyes.

"What ability does this talent possess?"

There was a faint, almost imperceptible gravity in her tone.

"When I met your gaze earlier, I actually felt dizzy."

She Xian understood at once.

So Teacher's brief lapse earlier had been caused by his eyes "dazzling" her.

He carefully chose his words. "The dizziness Teacher felt is one of the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes' abilities."

He explained, "When these eyes gaze at a target, they can stir mental power and cause the other party to fall into illusions, illusory realms, or even control the target's mind."

"!!!"

Qian Renxue's golden eyes contracted slightly.

Mental attacks!

Illusory realm manipulation!

Within Douluo Continent's soul master system, such abilities were exceptionally rare and powerful.

The soul skills of most soul masters were physical or elemental attacks.

Mental techniques, however, were often impossible to guard against.

She herself was the best proof of that.

A Soul Emperor-level powerhouse had actually been briefly stunned by a single look from She Xian while completely unprepared.

If this were used in actual combat...

Qian Renxue's thoughts raced.

She keenly caught one word in She Xian's statement.

"One of."

She raised her eyes and looked directly at She Xian.

"You said, 'one of the abilities.'"

"So it has other abilities as well?"

She Xian smiled.

"Teacher is wise."

He did not hide anything. "The Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes do indeed have other abilities."

"Rather than have this disciple waste words explaining, it would be better for Teacher to see it for yourself."

He turned and walked toward the unconscious Icebound Python by the shore.

"Teacher, please wake this Icebound Python."

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow slightly, but still did as he asked.

She lifted a hand, sending a thread of pure soul power into the Icebound Python's body and rousing it from unconsciousness.

The thousand-year Icebound Python slowly awakened.

"Hiss!"

It opened its dark-blue slit pupils, and its first reaction was to struggle violently.

Its body twisted fiercely, its dark-blue scales stood on end, and it spewed chilling frost from its mouth.

Its savage gaze locked firmly onto the two "intruders" before it.

It was about to attack.

But the instant its gaze met She Xian's emerald-green eyes, the Icebound Python froze.

Its body went rigid, and its dark-blue slit pupils abruptly lost focus.

She Xian quietly stared at it. The three flower patterns in his pupils slowly rotated, radiating mysterious ripples.

Within the Icebound Python's dark-blue eyes, three flower-shaped patterns identical to those in She Xian's pupils actually appeared!

Then, the thousand-year giant python that had just been so vicious it wanted nothing more than to devour the two of them alive slowly lowered its head.

Its snake head gently rubbed against She Xian.

Its dark-blue scales brushed against his arm, while a low, submissive whimper came from its throat.

It was as docile as a pet dog being stroked by its master.

Qian Renxue's golden eyes suddenly contracted.

"This is... controlling a soul beast?!"

The words burst from her mouth, her voice filled with shock.

She Xian nodded, then shook his head.

"More or less, but not entirely."

As he allowed the Icebound Python to rub against him docilely, he explained.

"The Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes can easily forcefully control the vast majority of snake-shaped soul beasts."

"Once they meet this disciple's gaze, they have almost no room to resist. They will directly become this disciple's puppets, to be commanded at will."

"..."

Qian Renxue stared at the tamed Icebound Python, unable to calm the shock in her golden eyes for a long time.

Forcefully controlling snake-shaped soul beasts... if this talent were used properly, what a terrifying source of combat power would it become?

There were countless snake-shaped soul beasts on Douluo Continent. With one glance, he could claim them for his own use.

This was practically the equivalent of creating a soul beast army!

However, She Xian's next words completely shattered her threshold for shock.

"Moreover,"

the corners of She Xian's lips rose slightly.

"the Azure Snake Three-Flower Eyes can also open up an independent space within the pupils."

"Controlled snake-shaped magical beasts, even living creatures and humans, can all be stored within that space by this disciple."

As his words fell,

a green light flashed in his eyes.

The three flower patterns abruptly spun faster!

The several-meter-long Icebound Python's enormous body suddenly trembled.

Then it turned into a streak of dark-blue light and was sucked into the depths of She Xian's pupils!

In the blink of an eye,

the enormous thousand-year Icebound Python vanished without a trace.

She Xian stood calmly where he was, his emerald-green pupils slowly returning to stillness.

"..."

Qian Renxue fell completely silent.

She stared fixedly at She Xian's emerald-green eyes as stormy waves rose within her heart.
