Chair Suppresses Demons! Heavenly Tyrant! Soul Skills That Match Martial Soul Abilities!

"Tang San! Prepare to land!"

Qian Ni shouted, and his Soul Ring flashed again.

As Soul Power surged, a huge red plastic chair appeared in his hand.

"Die, monkey!

"Anal Gungnir! Chair Suppresses Demons!"

Another combined Soul Skill!

Second Soul Skill: Anal Gungnir, a causality-based throwing skill guaranteed to hit the chrysanthemum!

Fourth Soul Skill: Chair Suppresses Demons, a control skill that forcibly restrained the Demon Pill once the target sat down!

This temporary Fourth Soul Skill overlapped somewhat with Qian Ni's Cursed Speech, but the Titan Giant Ape had already sped up. They couldn't let it actually escape!

With a casual toss, the huge red plastic chair in Qian Ni's hand instantly became a red blur, flying straight toward the Titan Giant Ape's backside!

The chair created by Chair Suppresses Demons grew with the wind! It could adapt to creatures of all sizes!

Very quickly, a chair seat four meters across slammed directly into the Titan Giant Ape's buttocks.

The grids across the seat happened to trap its Demon Pill between them, clamping down tightly.

"Awooo—!!!!"

An endlessly agonized howl erupted from the Titan Giant Ape's mouth!

Its Demon Pill was restrained while it ran, and its two thick hind legs involuntarily bent as it dropped onto that enormous red plastic chair!

Just like how many football players liked to slide on their knees across the grass to celebrate after scoring.

The Titan Giant Ape now sat on the red plastic chair, plowing several deep furrows through the ground!

Its speed plummeted! Its Demon Pill was restrained! Pain assaulted it! Its movements twisted out of shape!

With so many negative conditions imposed on it, even the Titan Giant Ape couldn't endure them for the moment!

But who was it?

It was the Titan Giant Ape!

It couldn't admit defeat to that human behind it just like this!

That's right, I can't sit down. I can't stop!

I still haven't caught up with Xiao Wu. I still haven't defeated Da Ming!

Star Lake isn't far away. If I stop again now, I'll definitely embarrass myself in front of Xiao Wu again! Da Ming will come mock me too.

How can I stop?

I can't sit down!

Xiao Wu needs me, Da Ming needs me, the Soul Beasts need me!

They need Er Ming!

So...

Even if my Demon Pill hurts even more, even if my chrysanthemum hasn't healed, even if I die and QQ gets uninstalled!

I, Er Ming... absolutely cannot stop!

I have to stand up, I have to...

Stand up again!!!

In the brief moment Er Ming's Demon Pill was restrained, Tang San arrived in an instant under Rider's Bridle's enhancement.

And the Titan Giant Ape! It actually endured the pain of QQ being uninstalled and forcibly rose from the surface of the red plastic chair!

Even though its legs trembled! Even though its eyes were bloodshot! Even though its Demon Pill had been stretched long!

It still forced itself to stand!

"Awoo—"

A somewhat shrill roar rang through the skies. The Titan Giant Ape swung its right hand, violently flinging Meng Yiran toward Qian Ni!

Its target was only Xiao Wu! Who was Meng Yiran? Just an unlucky victim!

At that moment, Qian Ni released Rider's Bridle and abandoned Tang San!

He leaped down from Tang San's back and caught the flying Meng Yiran in one smooth motion.

But the Titan Giant Ape took this chance to flee swiftly with Xiao Wu.

"No! Xiao Wu!"

The effects of Tang San's final Mushroom Sausage vanished. After landing, he rolled to dissipate the impact, then cried desperately toward the Titan Giant Ape's retreating figure.

Without Mushroom Sausages and without Qian Ni's Soul Tool, how could he possibly catch up to the Titan Giant Ape?

"Little San! Leave me! Go back!"

Xiao Wu's response was equally heartfelt.

How could Qian Ni possibly allow the Titan Giant Ape to escape?

Holding Meng Yiran in his left arm, he took out an Alien with his right hand. The four ten-thousand-year Soul Rings around him spun once more!

"Aren't your sphincters incredible? Try squeezing this one to bursting too!

"Cursed Speech: Don't Move!

"Alien Proclamation! Anal Gungnir!"

Another combination of his First and Second Soul Skills!

But this time, what he threw was no longer the Whale Bone Spear! It was the Alien, its body stretched out like a savage arrow covered in bony spikes!

The running Titan Giant Ape keenly sensed the disturbance behind it and instinctively clenched its gluteal muscles!

It knew that human behind it had used another Soul Skill!

But what could it do?

There was nothing it could do!

No! No!

Anything but this!

I don't want it to happen again in front of Xiao Wu!

But... it was too late!

How could a causality-based skill be so easily resisted?

Though Anal Gungnir was an absurd Soul Skill that appeared to have only one function, in terms of being impossible to counter, it ranked highest among all of Qian Ni's Soul Skills.

"Bang—"

That familiar pain struck again. The Titan Giant Ape's body stiffened and its speed dropped sharply. It only had time to gently toss Xiao Wu away before Qian Ni, who had caught up, sent it flying toward distant Star Lake with a fierce tiger-style kick!

The Titan Giant Ape's enormous body rolled across the ground! Every giant tree, shrub, blade of grass, and stone in its path was smashed aside!

Only after entering Star Lake's territory, where there was nothing left to crash into, did Er Ming the Titan Giant Ape roll all the way across the lawn to the lakeshore, head over the water and face toward the ground, before finally stopping.

Its left hand stretched forward, pointing toward Lake of Life, as though even now it regretted failing to bring Xiao Wu back—to bring her beside Lake of Life, where rabbit, ape, and python could warmly reunite and speak of the longing they had felt during their long separation.

As for the Alien behind it?

It no longer had the strength to deal with it.

Being humiliated twice before Xiao Wu had left the Titan Giant Ape utterly exhausted in both body and mind.

Besides, the Alien couldn't cause much harm to its powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast body anyway. Let it be.

The Titan Giant Ape only wanted to pass out. Perhaps when it woke up, it could escape this false world.

By Star Lake, at the edge of the grassland.

Qian Ni stepped into this place, carrying the weak-legged Meng Yiran in one arm.

The summoning interface before him remained frozen on the skill he had just drawn.

→[Heavenly Restriction: Tyrant]

Heavenly Tyrant, passive. After the System's localized adjustments, its effect became: when the Soul Power in one's body was reduced to zero, all potential previously occupied by Soul Power would be used to strengthen the body.

In reality, it was more than that. It seemed like a choice between Soul Power and the body.

But in truth, the Soul Skills activated through Soul Power, as well as the Soul Rings that carried those Soul Skills, would temporarily disappear once Soul Power reached zero.

In other words, all Soul Power and Soul Skills would become nourishment, strengthening the body!

And rather than calling Heavenly Tyrant a Soul Skill, it was more accurate to call it a restriction based on equivalent exchange. Its existence required no Soul Power support at all, so it wasn't included in the zeroing process.

Qian Ni finally smiled in satisfaction.

There were still 40 Fate Stones left in reserve. He had only used 37 draws! It seemed his Fourth Soul Skill could be decided now as well.

Because of a certain absurdly powerful pretty boy surnamed Fushiguro, he had been eagerly anticipating this passive Soul Skill.

His body had been tempered by the water pressure of Deep-Sea Hell!

"Finally, things are getting interesting."

Qian Ni lowered his head and looked at Meng Yiran, who was still limp in his arms.

The girl's delicate fragrance added another touch of anticipation to his good mood.

He gently placed Meng Yiran at the edge of the grassland.

"Stay here. I'm going to beat up a wooden dummy and test this skill."

In his excellent mood, he didn't mind showing a little human-like tenderness to his underling.

Star Lake was the territory of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, so there was no need to worry about other Soul Beasts barging in.

Meng Yiran forced herself upright and looked at Qian Ni's back, her heart overflowing with emotion again.

"Don't! That Soul Beast is too powerful! Wait until later..."

Qian Ni suddenly turned around, his expression serious.

"Xiao Meng! As a lackey, the only thing you need to do is believe in your boss!

"Even a probationary lackey is the same!"

Whenever others began to change their opinion of Qian Ni, he would open his mouth and speak.

The moment he spoke, the emotion in Meng Yiran's heart scattered somewhat.

By Star Lake, the Titan Giant Ape was still lying prone.

Qian Ni approached and glanced into the lake.

There was another presence there! Its strength surpassed even Er Ming the Titan Giant Ape's! The Sky Azure Bull Python!

But for some reason, the Sky Azure Bull Python showed no intention of acting. It remained coiled beneath the lake's surface, utterly motionless.

Qian Ni ignored it and looked toward the Titan Giant Ape.

"You monkey sure can run!

"Fine, steal a rabbit if you want, but you even dared touch one of mine!

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how many eyes Lord Horse has!"

The Titan Giant Ape didn't move.

It seemed to really be dead.

How was that possible?

It was merely tired. What could a somewhat strange Soul Ancestor do, even if he could injure it?

Wasn't Da Ming, the Sky Azure Bull Python, still inside Star Lake?

Could it really watch something happen to it?

Right now, Er Ming only wanted some peace and quiet. Don't ask who Peace and Quiet was—there was only Xiao Wu in its heart.

"Still playing dead?" Qian Ni narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Then I won't hold back.

"Twin-Winged Bird! Entwined Branches!"

He didn't reveal his Soul Rings, nor did he use a Soul Skill. He merely used Entwined Branches, the most fundamental ability of the Twin-Winged Bird Martial Soul.

The object linked by Entwined Branches: Meng Yiran.

Guided by his mind, Qian Ni's full level-forty Soul Power flowed through their mysterious connection and entirely into Meng Yiran's body!

Qian Ni's Soul Power reached zero!

Heavenly Tyrant, activated!

A thunderclap exploded beneath the clear sky, and invisible pressure shrouded Star Lake.

The Titan Giant Ape only felt the Soul Power aura of that Soul Ancestor behind it suddenly vanish!

But replacing it was another terrifying premonition that made its heart pound in fear!

Er Ming the Titan Giant Ape's fur stood on end!

Tyrant Qian Ni had descended.
