Douluo Continent was way too yellow!
Any Soul Master with even a little talent would definitely have a yellow first Soul Ring!
It was only a matter of how deep or light that yellow was.
Just like Dai Mubai! Yellow! Yellow! Purple!
He unleashed his Soul Power without restraint, expanding his three Soul Rings to their limits!
At just fifteen years old, he was already a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder! His talent was fairly decent.
Unfortunately, Qian Ni was a cheater.
"Zhu Qing and I have a marriage engagement. If you know what's good for you, stay away from her!
"Our statuses are beyond anything you could ever reach!"
Qian Ni frowned at that. Things seemed far from simple.
He cautiously asked, "Are you... a descendant of a god?"
Dai Mubai: "..."
Qian Ni asked again, "A visitor from another world? A reincarnated powerhouse?"
Dai Mubai had no idea what he was talking about, but Tang San, standing nearby, was thoroughly alarmed.
Qian Ni still wasn't done with him.
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form? A Million-Year Soul Beast still alive?"
Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, thinking her secret had been exposed.
Dai Mubai's face darkened with impatience.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Only then did Qian Ni relax. "You scared the hell out of me. Since you're none of those things, what the hell are you acting so smug for?
"I don't even take the Spirit Hall Pope seriously. I'll throw hands whenever I feel like it. So what kind of cracker are you supposed to be?"
Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot from that sarcastic tirade, his chest heaving like a bellows.
He hadn't expected Qian Ni to dare mock even the Spirit Hall Pope.
The others nearby couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing had only just enrolled and weren't familiar with Dai Mubai.
As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, neither of them feared Dai Mubai, so they had no reservations.
Dai Mubai grew even angrier.
"Looks like your parents never taught you what respect and fear are!
"Today, I'll teach you in their place! I'll teach you the attitude an auxiliary Soul Master should have when facing an assault-type Soul Master!"
With an angry roar, his third Soul Ring immediately blazed with light.
White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
Tiger claws emerged, Dai Mubai's body swelled several sizes, and with a stomp, he charged straight at Qian Ni.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others couldn't help holding their breath as they watched this unusual spar.
Although Dai Mubai was clearly bullying someone weaker, they didn't know Qian Ni well. Soul Masters sparring with each other was perfectly normal.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, however, didn't believe Qian Ni was merely an ordinary auxiliary Soul Master.
They were certain Dai Mubai was no match for Qian Ni—and that he would lose miserably.
Sure enough! Just as the tiger claws were about to strike Qian Ni's chest, a hint of excitement had only just appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes.
Qian Ni vanished like a ghost.
The next instant, a shadow enveloped Dai Mubai from behind.
With his back to the moonlight, Qian Ni's azure eyes gleamed with icy light.
A whipping kick shot out! An irresistible blow smashed into Dai Mubai's lower back!
His entire body turned into a cannonball and crashed into a pile of debris in the distance.
The smile vanished from Qian Ni's face.
He didn't pursue. Instead, he gave Dai Mubai plenty of time to get back up.
He had held back—no, he'd practically gone easy on him. Otherwise, that one kick alone would've sent Dai Mubai to meet his great-grandmother.
"I lost both my parents when I was young...
"My foster father raised me, and I traveled alone to foreign lands."
Qian Ni's low voice drifted through the air, carrying a strange infectious power that made Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and even Tang San's hearts tighten.
Zhu Zhuqing could be set aside for now.
Between Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Tang San, the three of them together couldn't even make up one complete pair of parents.
They could completely understand Qian Ni's feelings.
"You're right. They truly never taught me what respect and fear were.
"Nor did they teach me what attitude an auxiliary Soul Master should have toward an assault-type Soul Master.
"So! Ever since I could remember things at the age of one, I never dared slack off for even a moment. I meditated to accumulate Soul Power, tempered my body, pored over ancient texts, practiced combat techniques...
"I spent five years earning myself Innate Full Soul Power.
"Then I spent another six years tempering this body in Deep-Sea Hell."
Qian Ni's tone grew calmer and calmer. Soul Power surged, making the air tremble!
Whoosh—
The blue-gold wings of the Twin-Winged Bird suddenly pierced out from his back. The altered Soul Power produced by his powerful physique gave all seven monsters present immense pressure.
"Is that Soul Power pressure?" Tang San found it hard to believe. Even when facing Zhao Wuji, he had never felt like he was about to suffocate.
Qian Ni's Soul Power didn't seem to be at a high level, but its quality was terrifying.
"Aren't we the same age? What level is his Soul Power, exactly?!"
Ning Rongrong swallowed and muttered.
During the day, Ning Rongrong had experienced Qian Ni infusing Soul Power into her body, but that had been inside her body!
Now was different. The pressure of his altered Soul Power made the air seem ready to hum.
This time, Qian Ni didn't conceal his Soul Rings. Three black Soul Rings appeared one after another.
Each time one appeared, the air shook once.
First Ring! Black! Ten thousand years!
Second Ring! Black! Thirty thousand years!
Third Ring! Black! Forty thousand years!
An unprecedented configuration—three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings from the very beginning!
The six people besides Dai Mubai couldn't speak at all.
Even Zhu Zhuqing was seeing Qian Ni's Soul Ring configuration for the first time!
"This..."
Tang San couldn't believe it. His eyes nearly split open as Qian Ni's Soul Ring configuration completely overturned Yu Xiaogang's teachings.
Even with the emergence of Whale Glue Pellets over the past two years, Yu Xiaogang had theorized that they could only increase a Soul Master's Soul Ring limit by a few hundred years.
How could someone absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as their very first Soul Ring?!
That's right! Whale Glue Pellets! It must be some medicine even more advanced than Whale Glue Pellets! Just like Soul Beasts, there must be thousand-year and ten-thousand-year grades!
Something like that actually exists in this world! If I could get it, the Mysterious Heaven Skill would advance by leaps and bounds! Hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Rings simply can't compare to ten-thousand-year ones!
If I could get it, I could protect Xiao Wu better! I could prove Teacher's theories!
The six people sitting on the ground couldn't help standing up by then.
Their minds were buzzing, and they couldn't think properly at all.
Even Zhu Zhuqing was the same. She knew Qian Ni had secrets, and she knew he possessed a whole tray of Ninety-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber.
That was medicine of unimaginable value.
But she never could have imagined that Qian Ni had possessed Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings from his very first one!
Ning Rongrong's mind was completely blank.
They both possessed top-tier auxiliary martial souls, so why was Qian Ni this absurd?
Could an auxiliary Soul Master really defeat assault-type Soul Masters just by being a lunatic?
If I could absorb a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for my third Soul Ring too, would it be possible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to break through its limits?
Even if it couldn't, it would still be an insurmountable advantage over disciples from other sects!
If that happened, I'd definitely make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect great again!
On the training field, a figure crawled out of the pile of debris.
Dai Mubai staggered out while clutching his waist, looking utterly disheveled. Blood ran down from a wound on his forehead.
He barely forced his heterochromatic eyes open and walked toward Qian Ni.
Nearly unconscious, he too felt the crushing pressure of Soul Power Qian Ni had released.
It was an oppressive force like deep-sea water pressure, suffocating beyond measure.
However, his consciousness was muddled, and his congenital double pupils gave him slight astigmatism, so Dai Mubai didn't clearly see the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings around Qian Ni.
Yet he was still filled with unwillingness and fighting spirit, like a wronged husband marching toward an evil cuckold.
"Oh? You didn't run away, but instead came toward me? Your courage is commendable!"
Standing with his feet apart, back straight, and one hand pointing at Dai Mubai in a thunderous pose, Qian Ni delivered his final declaration.
"Then let my Ten-Thousand-Year first soul skill bring an end to your boring challenge!
"Try your best to survive. If you endure it, you'll have every reason to be proud!"
His face was solemn as the pitch-black first Soul Ring slowly turned, deep black light trembling around it.
The six people beside him held their breaths as they witnessed this unprecedented scene.
"First soul skill, Cursed Speech!"
Qian Ni opened his mouth, his deep voice chanting the curse.
"Testiculus Torsio! (Testicular Torsion!)"
Crack—
A faint sound came from between Dai Mubai's legs!
He instantly sobered up, his eyes widening like bronze bells! His face twisted into a savage grimace!
