The Long-Awaited Third Soul Skill! Combination Soul Skill!

Qian Ni didn't stop. After knocking the man over, he continued on his way.

Only the man's curses remained in the wind.

"Fuck, I already moved to the side of the road and you still ran into me? Are there even bastards among Soul Masters who deliberately scam people?"

Nearby, the middle-aged Soul Master who had rolled through the air several times before being helped up by the students was still shaken, staring blankly ahead.

"Who... was that?! Pfft—"

The middle-aged Soul Master coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

If his Martial Soul hadn't been the Black Tortoise, giving him greater physical defense, that collision would probably have sent him to meet his great-grandmother.

His name was Ye Zhiqiu, director of external affairs at Canghui Academy. This time, he had brought a team out to hunt Soul Beasts.

Although Canghui Academy wasn't some prestigious Soul Master academy, Ye Zhiqiu had always behaved like this—arrogant and overbearing.

Blocking the road to conduct some kind of team drill like today was, frankly, just a way to find a sense of superiority by picking on passing freelance Soul Masters.

Soul Masters from academies mostly stuck together. Having spent years together, they coordinated seamlessly.

They were stronger than most makeshift teams of freelance Soul Masters.

Even if the latter were bullied, they usually didn't dare make a sound.

But today, Canghui Academy had kicked an iron plate.

Ye Zhiqiu's face alternated between green and red. After getting to his feet, he angrily shoved away the male Soul Master supporting him.

"Damn it! That guy was heading for Supply Town! Chase him!

"Trying to run after crashing into me? I'd like to see whether you've got three heads and six arms, or whether you're a Title Douluo!"

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu fly into a rage, the seven Soul Master students hurriedly ran toward Supply Town as ordered.

Then Ye Zhiqiu's curses came from behind them.

"Have two people come support me! Can't you see I'm injured? You have no awareness at all. Do you still want to graduate?"

In Supply Town, Qian Ni curiously wandered around for a while.

This place differed from both Vast Sea City and Suotuo City. Instead, it somewhat resembled Spirit City.

The entire town had been built around Star Dou Forest and Soul Masters.

The town's shops had every kind of wilderness gear, supplies, medicine, and food.

There were even crude places where quests were posted, allowing people to accept commissions and form freelance teams.

It was truly a mixed bag.

After looking around for half a day, Qian Ni gradually lost interest.

Nothing in this town stirred his urge to stockpile.

Qian Ni had just rented a room at an inn. Not long after sitting down in the lobby, noisy shouting and cursing came from outside.

It turned out that the people from Canghui Academy had finally caught up.

Ye Zhiqiu swept his gaze through the inn lobby before it landed on Qian Ni.

Although everything had happened far too suddenly at the time, Qian Ni's silver hair, white clothes, and the distinctive aura he had displayed in that fleeting moment allowed Ye Zhiqiu to recognize him at once.

"Brat! You really made me search hard!"

Ye Zhiqiu sneered as he led the seven Soul Master students forward.

The eight Soul Masters activated Martial Soul Possession. There were turtles and deer, while the only two tool Martial Souls were merely a spear and a trident.

They looked like complete fodder, without the slightest distinguishing feature.

The other people in the inn didn't want trouble and got up to leave. Some even left without paying, scoring a free meal.

No matter how the owner shouted after them, no one turned back.

"You crashed into me and ran. If I don't teach you a lesson, how will Canghui Academy keep standing around here?"

Qian Ni frowned. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that this was the middle-aged Soul Master who had deliberately crashed into Alien.

"I remember now. You're that idiot blocking the road! My mount had already moved aside, yet you still insisted on throwing yourself at us.

"What, did the urge to scam someone drive you right to my door?"

Ye Zhiqiu trembled with rage. He didn't want to waste any more words. With a wave of his hand, the seven Soul Master students immediately formed up and pressed forward.

Up close, their Martial Souls were one thing, but their Soul Rings made Qian Ni feel mildly intrigued.

He had grown up in Spirit City, then spent six years on Sea God Island after awakening his Martial Soul.

Having stayed in those holy lands for Soul Masters for so long, he had nearly forgotten that the minimum age of a Soul Ring included the ten-year level.

What color were Ten-Year Soul Rings again? The people before him gave Qian Ni the answer.

White.

They stood in perfect contrast to the black of his three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

That subtle contrast in color made Qian Ni perk up.

His expression involuntarily became a little serious.

"Are we fighting?

"Come to think of it, I haven't really fought anyone before!

"Other than that whale, Evil Tiger, and that thickheaded Dai Mubai, you're the first proper wave of wild monsters I've encountered!

"Uh, that unlucky Bibi Dong probably doesn't count either."

As Qian Ni spoke words that the people from Canghui Academy couldn't understand at all, he slowly released his Martial Soul.

The cyan half-wing of the Twin-Winged Bird spread open. Golden patterns flickered faintly among its feathers, glimmering with radiance.

The oppressive force of his unusual Soul Power blanketed the entire inn, and the seven young Soul Masters leading the charge immediately sensed that something was wrong.

But Ye Zhiqiu, the teacher leading them, had already lost his head!

"Brat, resistance is useless!

"Get him!"

Qian Ni continued.

"As a show of respect, I'll defeat all of you with everything I have as a Soul Master!

"Do your best to survive for the rest of your lives!"

Facing the seven people charging toward him, three pitch-black Soul Rings abruptly appeared around Qian Ni. He casually grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table and unleashed his first and second Soul Skills in succession!

"March with the same arm and leg!

"Declaration of the Gods: Anal Gungnir! Scattershot!"

Under the effects of Cursed Speech, the seven people who had been charging in fiercely instantly began moving with the same arm and leg!

They were like the idiots who always showed up during annual military training, marching with the same arm and leg!

As their balance collapsed, dozens of slender chopsticks streaked through the air, curving along bizarre trajectories to circle behind them and viciously strike their exposed asses!

"Awooo—" ×6

"Oho!" ×1

Men and women reacted differently to the same kind of blow.

The six men and one woman before him illustrated that perfectly!

After one burst of Soul Skills, all seven collapsed to the ground.

Their butt regions had been damaged!

The arrogance and viciousness on Ye Zhiqiu's face froze in place.

Reflected in his eyes were the three black Soul Rings circling Qian Ni's body.

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

Something he only dared fantasize about secretly beneath his blankets had appeared in the first three Soul Ring slots of a Soul Master brat!

He was from Canghui Academy, a dignified Soul King, yet he didn't even possess a single Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

The white of his first Soul Ring had almost completely locked down his potential. Only reaching Soul King in middle age, trying to cultivate to level sixty, become a Soul Emperor, and attempt to acquire a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was an extremely challenging prospect for him.

He stopped moving.

But Qian Ni had no intention of stopping.

Thinking back over his three Soul Skills, he still hadn't used his third one!

His first Soul Skill, Cursed Speech, had repeatedly delivered remarkable results.

His second Soul Skill, Anal Gungnir, was unstoppable against everything except certain races that were born without an anus!

His third Soul Skill, Flower Bloom! He had spent a long time thinking about how to use this mutated Soul Skill from the Flower-Flower Fruit!

Flower Bloom could make limbs grow freely from another person's body, and the limbs shared pain with the target.

What was the fun in merely growing hands and feet?

Eyes and ears lacked a certain flavor too!

Qian Ni wanted something different, something that would give the Soul Masters of Douluo Continent a small shock!

He spoke with excitement.

"There are eight of you in total, so let's set the number of blooms to eight!

"Combination Soul Skill! Eightfold Flower Bloom! Anal Gungnir!"

His third Soul Ring finally lit up for the first time.

Under the effects of Qian Ni's third Soul Skill, eight plump body parts sprouted in the blink of an eye from Ye Zhiqiu's chest, lower abdomen, shoulders, back, and various other places!

They weren't hands or feet, nor were they facial features!

They were asses!
