The Power of the Third Spirit Skill

Facing Su Changqing's attack, the Wolf Bandit leader curled its lips in disdain.

What an ignorant human child—he actually dared to compete with it in strength!

It threw out a punch as well, colliding directly with Su Changqing's fist!

"Boom—"

A deafening blast rang out, sending a wave of air rolling outward. After holding out for five or six seconds, Su Changqing was forced back to where he had started, while the Wolf Bandit leader only retreated a few steps.

Both man and beast wore surprised expressions, but the Wolf Bandit leader was far more astonished than Su Changqing.

A three-ringed human brat actually possessed this kind of strength? Was this a joke?

With that level of cultivation, clashing head-on with it should have crippled his entire arm!

Yet not only was the other party's arm completely unharmed, he had even forced it back several steps!

Su Changqing shook his slightly numb hand, already forming a rough estimate of the enemy's strength.

That had only been a test. After all, physical combat was not his specialty, and he currently had no physical attack methods.

If it could send him flying with a punch, then its close-range combat strength was clearly far above his own.

"Run... hurry... You... you're no match... for it..."

Just as Su Changqing was planning to use the Wolf Bandit to practice and gain some combat experience, Hu Liena's weak voice sounded again.

Only then did he realize that she might not be able to hold on much longer. He had to end this quickly and save her!

"I don't have time to play with you. This boring game should end now."

As Su Changqing spoke, the shard of light on his forehead emitted an intense radiance. Terrifying Light Element fluctuations surged wildly into it.

"With just you?"

The Wolf Bandit leader remained contemptuous. Wind Element erupted around its body, and it leaped into the air, charging headfirst at Su Changqing.

"Heh."

Su Changqing sneered, and the Third Spirit Ring on his body lit up.

"Third Spirit Skill, Divine Steed: Extreme Light Wave!"

"Buzz—"

A terrifying beam of light burst forth in an instant with absolute destructive force, directly swallowing the Wolf Bandit leader's body.

The powerful sonic boom was deafening. The Wolf Bandit was reduced to dust the moment it came into contact with the spirit skill, and the beam pierced dozens of meters into the distance before gradually fading away.

This was Su Changqing's Third Spirit Skill: pure, ultimate offense!

It ignored the opponent's enhanced state, ignored his own weakened state, dealt double damage to energy-shield-type spirit skills, doubled any buffs he received, and its damage could not be reduced by any skill in any way.

Su Changqing's spirit skill could truly be described as possessing the beauty of raw numbers.

"So strong..."

Hu Liena looked at the somewhat blurry scene before her, feeling a level of shock she had never experienced before.

A three-ring Soul Elder actually possessed such explosive power. It was simply unbelievable!

Could she have blocked that attack if she had been at full strength?

"How are you?"

Su Changqing put away his martial soul and walked over to Hu Liena.

"I... I'm fi—"

"Hey! Don't faint!!!"

Where Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo were.

"I never expected this child to possess not only a full set of Exceeding Spirit Rings, but also such terrifying combat power," Chrysanthemum Du said.

The two of them were still deeply shaken.

The power of the Third Spirit Skill Su Changqing had just unleashed was probably comparable to that of a non-defense-type Soul King!

"This child..."

Ghost Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression turning serious.

For some reason, when Su Changqing released his Third Spirit Skill just now, his heart had begun pounding violently on its own.

Clearly, the other party was not powerful enough to harm even a single hair on his body, yet he still feared him from the bottom of his heart!

"What is it, Old Ghost? Why are you making that face?"

"After Nana finishes her training, make him join Spirit Hall. Otherwise, kill him!"

Inside a cave in Sunset Forest.

"You're finally awake." Su Changqing smiled at the somewhat weak Hu Liena.

Hu Liena slowly sat up, surveyed her surroundings, and briefly recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness.

It seemed that the child in front of her had saved her.

He was quite handsome, too.

"Thank you. My name is Hu Liena."

"Mm, I'm Su Changqing."

As he spoke, he brought a steaming bowl of medicinal soup over to Hu Liena.

"Drink the medicine. It'll help your injuries heal."

Hearing that, Hu Liena glanced at her chest.

Her chest had been wrapped in layer after layer of bandages. Presumably, the child in front of her had personally bandaged her.

A child had actually seen her naked...

"Mm..."

Her face reddened as she accepted the medicinal soup from Su Changqing.

After blowing on it lightly, she brought it to her lips.

"Um... your injuries... I kept my eyes closed the entire time while bandaging you. I didn't see anything, and I didn't touch you anywhere I shouldn't."

"Mm... cough, cough, cough!"

The moment he said that, Hu Liena nearly choked to death on the medicine in her mouth!

"N-No, it's fine. I don't mind."

Su Changqing scratched his head. "Haha, that's good."

As he spoke, he turned and walked over to the fire, picking up a roasted soul beast leg.

"Eat after you finish the medicine. You haven't eaten for more than twelve hours. I just finished eating."

Hu Liena paused, then smiled.

"Thank you."

After finishing the medicine, she began eating the soul beast leg Su Changqing had given her. It actually tasted quite good.

"Why are you in Sunset Forest? Are you here to obtain a soul ring?" Hu Liena asked.

"Yes."

Su Changqing nodded. "I just broke through to rank thirty, so I came to Sunset Forest to look for a soul ring."

Hu Liena was immediately startled.

Setting aside Su Changqing's talent, he had just broken through to rank thirty and already dared to enter Sunset Forest alone to hunt soul beasts. Wasn't that a little too bold?

And only now did she recall that Su Changqing's soul ring configuration seemed to exceed the limits!

However, Hu Liena chose not to press further. They had only just met, and such matters surely involved his personal secrets.

"My injuries should be healed by tomorrow. I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Leaving Sunset Forest?"

Hu Liena gently shook her head. "An elder from my family sent me out to train. My training isn't complete yet, so I'll be staying here. Where are you going next? Are you leaving?"

At those words, Su Changqing's eyes shifted.

Leaving?

He had originally planned to go to Spirit City. There was no way he could let such a good opportunity slip by!

"I was originally planning to leave, but I don't have anywhere I need to go for now. How about I train alongside you? I happen to lack real combat experience, so I can use this chance to build some up."

"This..."

Just as Hu Liena hesitated, the image of Su Changqing saving her surfaced in her mind again.

If such a genius could join Spirit Hall, he would definitely become a great asset in the future!

With that thought, Hu Liena stopped hesitating and nodded firmly.

"Alright, I agree."
