Qin Jiuxiao's Scheme, Is Your Father's Name Tang Hao!

What terrifying physical strength.

To be able to catch a Soul Venerable's soul skill with a single hand.

Dai Mubai felt a chill crawl up his spine, and goosebumps erupted on the skin beneath his clothes.

He realized he had underestimated this man named Qin Jiuxiao from the very beginning.

This was no loser; he was clearly a Desolate Ten Fiends beast in human form.

"Young Master Dai, your attacks are like a tickle."

"Could it be that you've been exercising too much lately and have gone soft?"

Qin Jiuxiao twisted his wrist and teased.

Then, he slowly retracted his smile, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"I don't even need to use a soul skill to deal with you; one punch is enough."

As he spoke, he slowly clenched his fist and smashed it toward Dai Mubai.

The punch looked plain and unremarkable, but every hair on Dai Mubai's body stood on end.

A sense of mortal crisis enveloped him.

Some hidden instinct whispered to him.

If he didn't block with everything he had, this punch might very well kill him.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Protection Shield!"

He didn't hesitate, immediately using his third soul skill to boost his strength.

At the same time, he activated his first soul skill, creating a golden shield around his body to protect himself.

Crack.

The moment the shield touched Qin Jiuxiao's fist, it was like glass struck by a heavy blow, instantly spiderwebbing with cracks.

It couldn't even hold for a second before it shattered completely.

Qin Jiuxiao's fist slammed into his chest with a boom.

A sickening crunch followed.

It sounded like bones breaking.

Dai Mubai was sent flying, crashing through the walls of several rooms in a row.

Tang San, standing to the side, felt his pupils constrict.

Although he possessed the Tang Sect's supreme Mysterious Jade Hand and the technique of using a thousand pounds of force to deflect ten thousand, he could never achieve such destructive power.

If Qin Jiuxiao had thrown that punch at him, his fate likely wouldn't have been much better than Dai Mubai's.

At that moment, a deep sense of wariness toward Qin Jiuxiao rose in his heart.

[Ding! Contact made with target character, Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai. Obtained entry "Flesh and Blood Treasure Medicine (Red)": Every drop of blood in his body is comparable to the precious blood of a fierce beast, possessing infinite miraculous uses. Be careful not to get captured and used as a blood pump.]

After obtaining this entry, the soul power within Qin Jiuxiao surged.

Whoosh!

He successfully broke through to level 40.

A warm current flowed through his entire body.

Zi Ji looked over subconsciously; she felt that Qin Jiuxiao seemed different, yet she couldn't pinpoint exactly how.

Qin Jiuxiao squeezed his fist in satisfaction.

This entry was quite good.

One had to know that there weren't many ways to improve one's physical constitution in the Douluo world.

Aside from high-intensity training, one could only rely on rare medicinal herbs and opportunities.

The method of using Whale Glue to improve physical fitness hadn't been discovered yet.

Even if one could obtain it, the average person couldn't purify the essence within.

Without a strong expert to help regulate the soul power, absorbing it alone easily led to accidents, or even death by explosion.

If his own blood could become the precious blood of a fierce beast, the uses would be immense.

With the status of the Desolate Ten Fiends, even if he only used a single drop of his essence blood, it could help them temper their bodies.

While it wouldn't allow them to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as their first, a ten-thousand-year third or fourth ring would be simple.

He could find an opportunity to let Zhu Zhuqing and the others try it later.

Qin Jiuxiao walked step by step through the broken walls toward the ruins.

Dai Mubai had already passed out.

He grabbed Dai Mubai's clothes, dragged him back, and tossed him onto the ground like a dead dog.

He beckoned, and the little witch Ning Rongrong immediately understood.

She ran into the room and brought out a basin of cold water.

Before Qin Jiuxiao could even speak, she dumped the entire basin over him.

"Ah! Who is it?"

Dai Mubai was jolted awake and immediately sat bolt upright.

When he saw the mocking gazes of the people around him, he realized what had happened and felt immense humiliation.

He had actually been knocked unconscious by a single punch from Qin Jiuxiao.

He struggled to stand up as Qin Jiuxiao walked over, his arm around Zhu Zhuqing.

"Young Master Dai, what goes around comes around. Because of your cowardice, my little kitten suffered quite a bit of harm."

"Today counts as some repayment for her."

Zhu Zhuqing felt moved upon hearing this.

Qin Jiuxiao then pointed to the collapsed walls.

"The damages here tonight are on your tab."

Dai Mubai's eyes widened, wanting to demand why.

But before he could speak, Qin Jiuxiao grinned.

"You don't have to pay."

"But from now on, in this Soto City, you and your friends won't be able to check into any hotel."

"You won't be able to spend money at any entertainment venue."

"If you want to see a girl, you'll have to do it out in the wild."

"I believe Young Master Dai wouldn't want to see such things happen."

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth; this hit his weak spot perfectly.

If word got out that he, the dignified Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, couldn't even afford to rent a room with a woman, it would be a total disgrace.

He seethed in silent fury.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing with great unwillingness, only to find that she wasn't paying him any attention at all, her entire focus on Qin Jiuxiao.

He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Tang San prepared to take Xiao Wu and leave.

However, he noticed Qin Jiuxiao staring straight at him, which gave him a sudden jolt of fear.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"We should have no grievances between us."

Qin Jiuxiao nodded; that was true enough.

But who told you to be the Child of Destiny for this continent?

I imagine the entries on you will be quite tempting.

He smiled and approached Tang San step by step, causing Tang San, who already had no good impression of him, to instantly tense up.

His body went rigid, his eyes watching Qin Jiuxiao with vigilance.

He secretly activated his Mysterious Jade Hand, sliding several poison-tipped steel needles to his fingertips, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Jiuxiao at any moment.

Qin Jiuxiao and Zi Ji instantly sensed his movements.

He stopped his advance, and Zi Ji narrowed her eyes, ready to strike.

The atmosphere in the room turned incredibly eerie.

Xiao Wu, standing to the side, grew anxious.

Although she was a bit disappointed in Tang San just now, it hadn't reached the point of their relationship breaking.

She quickly spoke up: "Third Brother isn't a bad person, he is my..."

"Friend."

Xiao Wu paused, finally settling on the word "friend."

Tang San's body trembled slightly, but he said nothing.

Qin Jiuxiao turned to look at Xiao Wu, then back at Tang San, the corners of his mouth curling into an inconspicuous arc.

Zi Ji noticed this keenly and immediately knew Qin Jiuxiao was up to no good.

Sure enough.

Qin Jiuxiao flashed a kind smile at Xiao Wu.

"I have no intention of making a move against Brother Tang San here."

"It's just that he looks familiar, somewhat similar to a portrait of a world-renowned powerhouse from the past."

"He was hailed as the youngest Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent."

Xiao Wu might not know about this, but Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, given their family backgrounds, certainly would.

"Little Qin, are you talking about Haotian Douluo?"

Qin Jiuxiao nodded, pulled a portrait from his soul storage ring, and looked at Tang San with a smile.

"Is your father's name Tang Hao? The one in this portrait."

Looking at the smile on Qin Jiuxiao's face, Tang San didn't feel friendliness; instead, he sensed a conspiracy.

He looked at the portrait.

Although the face on it was much younger, he was certain this was his father.

He subconsciously replied:

"That's right, he is my father."

Qin Jiuxiao nodded in satisfaction, put away the portrait, and gave Xiao Wu a meaningful look.

"As expected of a Title Douluo's son. It seems your father values you highly."

"He started planning for your martial soul's soul rings from such a young age."
