"Since you asked so sincerely, I'll be merciful and explain it to you."

As Qin Qi spoke, he reached out and patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder. The Formless Hand activated without a sound.

He quietly stole a bit of Soul Power, along with a trace of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Origin.

"First, Thunderclap Dragon Claw has two ways of use. The first is to release the lightning outward."

"The advantage of this move is its long range, but the drawback is that it expends a large amount of energy."

"Your Soul Power circulation becomes slightly sluggish, making it easy for others to seize an opening and attack."

"That was how I instantly defeated Yu Tianxin just now."

After stealing what he wanted, Qin Qi casually withdrew his hand and spoke as though nothing had happened.

"I understand. It was the brief stiffness caused by Thunderclap Dragon Claw."

"It made my body react a beat slower, and your Golden Saint Dragon seized that moment to take me down instantly."

As Yu Tianxin reviewed the battle, he immediately recalled the moment he had tried to dodge.

That instant of heaviness in his body had probably been the so-called brief stiffness.

"That's right. But if you use the second method and condense Thunderclap Dragon Claw over your palm—"

"Then, in close combat, it can increase the power of your attacks."

"When your enemy retreats, you can also switch at any time and release Thunderclap Dragon Claw."

"Compared with releasing Thunderclap Dragon Claw right from the start, this method is more flexible and better suited to handling different situations."

Qin Qi was not making this up. He had figured it out himself through battle after battle.

"Cousin, Grandpa said many good things about you when he came back before. I was a little displeased at first."

"But now I'm convinced. When it comes to combat, I truly can't compare to you."

"With just one soul skill, I have no idea how many ways I've already lost to you."

Yu Tianxin was completely convinced. Losing a fight could be due to all sorts of factors.

But his cousin had managed to derive so many ideas from merely the small details of using a single soul skill.

Meanwhile, he himself had never even bothered to think about it.

It was not a matter of lacking strength. It was laziness, a lack of drive to improve.

"Cousin, who taught you these things? Was it some powerful teacher?"

Yu Tianheng spoke up. He was very curious about who had taught Qin Qi all this.

Could it be some formidable teacher living in seclusion? If that were true—

Then he would definitely want to become that teacher's disciple too.

"A powerful teacher? There, over in that direction."

Qin Qi pointed toward the Great Soul Arena and smiled.

"That's the Great Soul Arena. Could the powerful teacher be inside the Great Soul Arena?"

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin did not understand what Qin Qi meant.

"No, there is no powerful teacher. If I had to name a teacher, it would be my enemies."

"You both know I'm an orphan. Ever since I was young, if I wanted to survive, I could only rely on myself."

"Fighting was a common thing. To avoid losing to others, I could only figure out how to fight in order to win."

"Through battle after battle, I kept learning and improving. Those battles were the best teachers."

Qin Qi spoke from the bottom of his heart. He had no teacher and no family clan.

He only had the inheritance of his good brother Thieving Heaven, but Thieving Heaven could not possibly teach him hand in hand.

He had to learn everything himself and practice everything himself. Life itself was his greatest teacher.

"Cousin..."

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin were somewhat moved. They reached out and gave Qin Qi a big hug.

"Cousin, come home with us. Once you return to the clan, you'll have anything you want."

"A place to live, food to eat, and no one will ever dare bully you again."

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin looked at Qin Qi. Before, they had thought he was merely a somewhat talented and arrogant person.

But now, they understood that Qin Qi was not simply talented.

Qin Qi's strength had been earned bit by bit, tempered through one battle after another!

To reach this point, who knew how much suffering their cousin had endured?

They would have to take good care of their cousin from now on!

"Perhaps I'll go back to take a look later, but for now, I still want to continue training here."

"And if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I still need to sleep."

Qin Qi quietly used the Formless Hand on Yu Tianxin as well, stealing a little Soul Power and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Origin.

After finishing all that, Qin Qi found an excuse and slipped away.

"Ah, Cousin truly is such a strong child."

"He can survive on his own despite being only six years old."

"Good, I've decided! I'll stay here too. Until Cousin returns, I'm going to live independently!"

Yu Tianxin suddenly clenched his fists. He wanted to venture out too. He no longer wanted to live forever under the clan's protection.

A true dragon should soar through the skies. Only then could it grow!

"Me too. I'll stay here and fight in the soul arena. I'll train myself!"

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists as well, fighting spirit blazing in his eyes.

The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were truly proud, but they also genuinely pursued strength!

For that, they were willing to endure every kind of hardship!

After leaving, Qin Qi did not return to the inn. He found an empty place and summoned the Golden Saint Dragon once more.

"The Golden Saint Dragon was previously lacking Origin, but I replenished it by stealing the Origins of many Soul Beasts."

"But I couldn't find any dragon Origins. Now it's perfect. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Origin should make up quite a bit."

Qin Qi took out two clusters of lightning energy. They were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Origin.

"I didn't steal much, so it probably won't be noticed. Later, when I go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—"

"If I steal just a little from every person, it should be enough to let the Golden Saint Dragon eat its fill."

Qin Qi fed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Origin to the Golden Saint Dragon while beginning to consider his future plans.

"Roar."

The Golden Saint Dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the two Origins. The next second, lightning began to cover its entire body.

Its eyes became sharp vertical pupils, and strange patterns appeared within them.

An invisible pressure also spread from its body.

"There aren't many changes in appearance, but this invisible pressure... is this Dragon Might?"

Qin Qi could feel the pressure, but it had no effect on him.

However, if it were other Soul Masters or Soul Beasts, their strength would likely be weakened beneath the suppression of this Dragon Might.

After all, the timid could not display their true strength.

"I didn't sense any Dragon Might when I fought the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon before."

"Is it because of the Golden Saint Dragon's mutation? Still, this Dragon Might is quite weak."

"I'll need to obtain more dragon-attributed Origins later."

Qin Qi could not help imagining the day when the Golden Saint Dragon became powerful.

There would be no need to fight. It would merely stand there, release its Dragon Might, and frighten a whole crowd of people and Soul Beasts into collapsing.

"Roar."

The Golden Saint Dragon looked at Qin Qi, lowered its body, and coiled around him layer by layer.

"Now isn't the time to be clingy. We need to go back. I need to sleep."

Qin Qi thought the Golden Saint Dragon was acting spoiled, so he smiled and patted its body.

But the next second, a finger-thick beam of pale golden light emerged from the Golden Saint Dragon's forehead and connected to Qin Qi's forehead.

As the light linked them, Qin Qi felt a steady stream of energy pouring into his body.
