Sun-Moon Prodigy Ranking Fourth: Qin Qiong (Part 1)!

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, an imposing voice that carried no anger yet commanded authority rang out, echoing throughout every corner of Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent.

[Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, fourth place: Qin Qiong, the Sun Moon Empire's Valiant General!]

The imposing voice from the golden light curtain in the sky was heard by both Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu, whose Martial Souls were both Six-Winged Angels.

Yet neither of them paid it any attention at that moment.

After hearing Qian Renxue's declaration and seeing the unwavering determination in her eyes, Qian Daoliu asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Hearing her grandfather Qian Daoliu's words and facing his question, Qian Renxue's expression grew solemn. With a serious look on her face, she answered him word by word, her voice firm and powerful, "I'm sure!"

Upon receiving Qian Renxue's answer, Qian Daoliu nodded thoughtfully.

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu spoke helplessly.

"Since you truly want to know, and I can't stop you from asking your mother, Bibi Dong, then I'll tell you."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu recalled the events of that year while telling Qian Renxue everything she wished to know.

"The reason your mother, Bibi Dong, killed your father, Qian Xunji, was hatred. Nothing but hatred!"

"Driven by hatred, your mother Bibi Dong not only killed your father Qian Xunji, but also Devoured his flesh and body, his mind and soul, as well as his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, leaving nothing behind."

"As for why your mother Bibi Dong hated your father Qian Xunji?"

"It began with an incident from back then."

"That incident went like this..."

As Qian Daoliu began recounting the story to Qian Renxue, the Golden Ranking also began introducing Qin Qiong, the seventh Valiant General to enter the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking.

[Qin Qiong, male, citizen of the Sun Moon Empire on Sun Moon Continent.]

[Qin Qiong was a general of the Sun Moon Empire.]

[He was known as the Valiant General.]

[He was called the Valiant General because he was extraordinarily brave.]

[Zhao Yun, Yue Yun, Yang Zaixing, Xue Li, and the other Sun Moon Empire generals who had previously entered the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking were already formidable enough, but they still fell somewhat short compared to Qin Qiong. Before discussing Qin Qiong's bravery, however, let us first speak of his Martial Souls.]

[Like Lü Bu, who ranked fifth on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, Qin Qiong was one of the rare possessors of Twin Martial Souls. Unlike Lü Bu, whose Martial Souls consisted of one tool Martial Soul and one beast Martial Soul, both of Qin Qiong's Martial Souls were tool Martial Souls.]

[Qin Qiong's first Martial Soul?]

[It was a pair of maces!]

[They were called the Giant Spirit City-Breaking Maces.]

[They were god-grade tool Martial Souls focused primarily on offense.]

[Yes, you heard correctly. They were not top-grade tool Martial Souls, but god-grade tool Martial Souls, one in tens of millions!]

[After awakening the god-grade tool Martial Souls, the Giant Spirit City-Breaking Maces, Qin Qiong immediately tested his innate soul power level.]

[Qin Qiong's innate soul power level was the same as Qian Renxue's, who ranked first on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking. It had reached the astonishing, unimaginable twentieth level!]

[With innate twentieth-level soul power, Qin Qiong had already become a ninetieth-level Titled Douluo at merely eighteen years old.]

[Qin Qiong's Soul Master title was the same as his general's title: Valiant.]

[It meant bravery akin to that of a god!]

[Besides granting Qin Qiong innate twentieth-level soul power, the god-grade tool Martial Souls Giant Spirit City-Breaking Maces also gave him the passive skill Giant Spirit Divine Strength and the active skill Giant Spirit Descends to the Mortal Realm.]

[The passive skill Giant Spirit Divine Strength gave Qin Qiong terrifying power. When he was a one-ring Soul Master, he possessed ten thousand kilograms of strength. When he was a two-ring Grand Soul Master, he possessed twenty thousand kilograms. By that logic, Qin Qiong, now a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo, possessed ninety thousand kilograms of immense strength!]

[What if the Titan Giant Ape, a powerful soul beast with a cultivation of one hundred thousand years and famed for its strength, faced Qin Qiong?]

[It would only have a beating waiting for it.]

[It would not even be able to fight back.]

[Its strength simply could not be mentioned in the same breath as Qin Qiong's!]

[The active skill Giant Spirit Descends to the Mortal Realm was both powerful and special.]

[Its power lay in the fact that, after activation, it could summon the First-Level God Giant Spirit God to act once. Giant Spirit God was not a god of Douluo Continent, but a god from another God Realm. Though he was merely a First-Level God, his strength did not pale before that of a God King and could be compared with one!]

[Its special aspect was that the skill could only be used once. Once used, it could never be used again.]

Heaven Dou Empire, Tianshui Academy.

"I truly never expected that the fourth place on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking would already be held by a possessor of a god-grade Martial Soul. The first place on our Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking is only a possessor of a god-grade Martial Soul. The gap between these two continents is simply too great, isn't it?"

"Moreover, Qin Qiong is not merely a possessor of a god-grade Martial Soul. He is also a possessor of Twin Martial Souls! If placed on our Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, he would unquestionably take first place! Qian Renxue, whose Martial Soul is the god-grade Six-Winged Angel, simply cannot compare to him."

Looking at the golden light curtain in the sky, Shui Yue'er softly murmured those words, then swallowed hard in shock.

After swallowing, Shui Yue'er parted her lips once more and added in a murmur.

"I already don't dare imagine how terrifying the first place on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking must be."

Once Shui Yue'er finished speaking, Shui Bing'er responded, her face filled with wariness.

"Summoning the First-Level God Giant Spirit God to act once?"

"Giant Spirit Descends to the Mortal Realm is truly an incredible skill!"

"It could strike down every living being in this world from an overwhelming level above."

"With Giant Spirit Descends to the Mortal Realm at his disposal, I imagine no one in the current world would be willing to provoke Qin Qiong."

After Shui Bing'er finished speaking, envy appeared on her wary face.

A skill that could have a First-Level God lend a hand was something any normal person would desire, and Shui Bing'er, who ranked eighth on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, was no exception.

The Golden Ranking's introduction of Qin Qiong, the Sun Moon Empire's Valiant General of Sun Moon Continent, continued. It was far from over.

[Having discussed Qin Qiong's first Martial Soul, let us now discuss his second Martial Soul.]

[Qin Qiong's second Martial Soul, like those of Zhao Yun and Yang Zaixing, was a spear-type Martial Soul focused primarily on offense.]

[Zhao Yun's spear-type Martial Soul was the Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear.]

[Yang Zaixing's spear-type Martial Soul was the Flood Dragon-Head Rolling Silver Spear.]

[Qin Qiong's spear-type Martial Soul, meanwhile, was the Tiger-Head Gilded Spear!]

[The Tiger-Head Gilded Spear was a top-grade tool Martial Soul. Though it was not a god-grade Martial Soul, it stood at the very peak among Martial Souls of the same grade.]

[The reason the Tiger-Head Gilded Spear stood out among top-grade tool Martial Souls was because it possessed a trait other top-grade tool Martial Souls lacked.]

[What trait?]

[The answer to this question was simple.]

[Elemental power!]

[And it was no ordinary elemental power.]

[It was elemental power that had entered the realm of the ultimate!]
