The King's Power Sword's True First Battle!

"It seemed you were quite confident in your strength. Your master had not even spoken, yet you were already so eager to jump out?"

Jiang Lin leisurely examined the bald youth after his Martial Soul possession, his expression still casual.

"Hmph, you're courting death!"

Fury instantly flared in the bald youth's eyes. He raised his sharp beast claws and lunged at Jiang Lin at incredible speed like a leopard.

"That alone can't hurt me."

Although the bald youth was a Soul Master, his combat experience clearly lagged far behind Xiao Wu's and Tang San's. Jiang Lin merely shifted aside, causing the youth's attack to miss.

Taking advantage of the opening, Jiang Lin immediately grabbed the back of his collar and viciously flung him backward with the momentum.

Bang!

The bald youth slammed directly into a wall five or six meters away.

"Cough, cough—"

"How is that possible? You haven't even used your Martial Soul yet. How could this happen?"

Feeling the intense pain throughout his body, the bald youth's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"It was simple. You're too weak."

Jiang Lin said it without a care.

"It seemed this Jiang Lin did have some skill, but if that was all, it was far from enough."

Xiao Chenyu, who was watching the battle, showed a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but quickly regained his composure.

At the same time, everyone else had different thoughts.

Tang San: "This One-Ring Soul Master's strength seemed to be nothing special. If the timing was right, a single Bone-Piercing Needle could kill him."

Xiao Wu: "This guy was so weak. I had worried for nothing that they would gang up on us."

Wang Sheng and the others: "Boss was so strong! He defeated Kus in just one exchange."

"Hmph, don't celebrate too soon!"

Feeling the contempt around him, Kus's face instantly flushed red. No longer caring to conceal his strength, he immediately used his only soul skill.

"First Soul Skill—Shatterbone Claw!"

In the next moment, Kus's hands, which still retained some semblance of human hands, rapidly extended forward. Before long, they transformed into two forty-centimeter-long bone claws. Blood vessels spread across them, and even from a distance, one could smell the pungent stench of blood.

"So this was a soul skill? It was indeed somewhat interesting."

Sensing the threat emanating from the bone claws, Jiang Lin did not underestimate his opponent this time. Though he was confident he could dodge, he still summoned the King's Power Sword just in case.

"So this is your High-grade Martial Soul?"

A trace of gravity appeared on Kus's face, but he did not hesitate. He leaped into the air and crossed his claws as he slashed directly down at Jiang Lin's head!

With the King's Power Sword in hand, Jiang Lin no longer dodged. When the two bone claws were less than ten centimeters from the top of his head, he charged up and slashed!

In the next moment, a sword light filled with incomparable sharpness swept down. The two bone claws carrying all of Kus's hopes only resisted for an instant before being severed by the edge of the King's Power Sword.

Kus's pupils immediately widened, but before he could react, Jiang Lin swung his sword again in a diagonal slash. A severed hand sprayed blood into the air.

"Aah!"

A scream rang out as Kus collapsed to the ground in agony.

"My hand! You... you actually dared to cut off my hand!"

"This Jiang Lin truly was ruthless. He did not hesitate in the slightest."

"Boss was mighty! This was exactly how it should be. Teach them a brutal lesson."

"..."

"Did you really have to make such a fuss? I merely gave him a tiny lesson."

"But if you come out to provoke me again without knowing your place, you can forget about keeping your remaining hand as well."

Jiang Lin patted Kus's face with the King's Power Sword. Then, utterly ignoring everyone's stares, he walked straight over to the dark-faced Xiao Chenyu.

"Come on. Weren't you asking to see it?"

"Since I'm in a good mood right now, I'll let you have a look."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin held the King's Power Sword horizontally before Xiao Chenyu. Kus's blood still stained its blade.

"Jiang Lin, you're quite something. But perhaps you've forgotten that even among Soul Masters of the same realm, there are differences in strength. Not to mention Kus's Martial Soul was only low-grade, and his Soul Ring was merely thirteen years old. Even among Soul Masters, someone like him was the weakest of the weak."

"You defeated him and now thought you could come challenge me? Heh, you truly were ignorant and fearless!"

A cold smile appeared on Xiao Chenyu's face. With a beckoning gesture, a giant wolf covered in black scales, its eyes glowing with bloodthirsty red light, appeared behind him. At the same time, a yellow Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.

In the next moment, a terrifying aura surged from Xiao Chenyu's body!

Everyone present immediately changed expression slightly.

Kus: "Hmph, Jiang Lin, now that Boss was taking action personally, let's see what tricks you still had!"

Wang Sheng: "This was bad. Boss was in danger! Xiao Chenyu had actually grown stronger again. How long had it been? He would probably soon reach rank twenty soul power, obtain his second Soul Ring, and advance to a Great Soul Master!"

Tang San: "This man's strength was formidable. Even if I used every trump card I had, I had no confidence in victory. Heh, Jiang Lin, now let's see how you dealt with this."

"So this was a human genius? But if we had the same cultivation level, defeating him would not be difficult."

A trace of solemnity appeared in Xiao Wu's beautiful eyes. Her body tensed slightly as she prepared to act at any moment.

"So this was a Mid-grade Martial Soul? It was indeed far stronger than Kus's One-Eyed Leopard. With the support of that hundred-year Soul Ring, this setup could contend even against an ordinary rank-twenty Great Soul Master."

"In that case, I could not keep holding back—"

"King's Power, oh King's Power, today, let them witness your true sharpness!"

Jiang Lin murmured as his fingertips gently slid across the blade of the King's Power Sword. In the next moment, a faint white gleam flowed over its edge.

The King's Power Sword, which had originally appeared utterly ordinary, immediately changed. Its silver-white blade was coated in a layer of golden light, while golden dragon scales emerged along its hilt!

A terrifying sword intent seeped out from the two words King's Power on the sword guard, instantly enveloping the entire dormitory. It was a sharpness capable of making souls tremble!

For a moment, everyone present aside from Xiao Wu, whether Xiao Chenyu or Tang San, turned deathly pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Tang San: "Damn it, Jiang Lin had actually been hiding his strength!"

Xiao Chenyu: "So this was a High-grade Martial Soul? My Night Wolf Martial Soul truly could not compare. But Jiang Lin had yet to obtain his first Soul Ring; he was not even a Soul Master. In that case, I might not necessarily lose to him."

"What was this? I never expected Jiang Lin to deliberately avoid affecting me."

Xiao Wu blinked her beautiful eyes, a strange gleam appearing within them.

"You're Xiao Chenyu, right? Come on, let me see just what gave you the nerve to come looking for trouble with me!"

Jiang Lin held his sword in one hand, its tip aimed directly at Xiao Chenyu's brow.
