Qin Xuan's Six Great Soul Skills (Part 1)

Qin Xuan gripped his sword in reverse, unleashing the Horizontal Sword Technique renowned for its dominance.

Wild as the wind, fierce as the waves, his momentum shook the heavens and his killing intent surged. Fast as lightning and endlessly variable, every strike was lethal, giving Bibi Dong no chance to catch her breath.

Sparks flew through the air as sand and stones scattered. Bibi Dong, who had held the upper hand moments ago, came under a ferocious assault and was briefly suppressed.

Qin Xuan attacked with both hands, alternating the Vertical-Horizontal Technique and Horizontal Sword Technique between them, leaving Bibi Dong hard-pressed to defend herself and repeatedly in danger.

"How is this possible?" Seeing this, nearly everyone who had previously doubted Qin Xuan stared in disbelief. Even Qian Xunji rare showed a loss of composure and cried out.

Only the six great worshippers who had once witnessed Qin Xuan's battle with Chrysanthemum Pass remained expressionless, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Their eyes held only approval. Judging from his battle with Bibi Dong, Qin Xuan's strength had clearly undergone a tremendous leap compared to a year ago.

It was not just his Soul Power, but also his technique. Even they would likely have been unable to withstand that bizarre swordsmanship at the Soul Saint level and would have been forced to activate their Martial Soul Avatars long ago.

Boom— The Thorned Spider Armor cracked apart, and Bibi Dong was sent flying. She slammed violently into a golden stone pillar over two meters in diameter in the hall, denting it as smoke and dust billowed up.

This guy is actually this strong? Could he have been hiding his strength before?

Within the smoke, the spider armor on Bibi Dong's body gradually fell away. Her entire body ached, as though her bones were about to fall apart.

Had her Soul Power not already broken through to the Soul Saint level, she would likely have been defeated under Qin Xuan's repeated attacks.

Just as Bibi Dong was being beaten into doubting her life, a strange sound suddenly came from the ground. Countless golden sword edges burst forth from the earth and shot toward her.

"Oh no, it's that guy's fourth soul skill."

The eight spider legs on Bibi Dong's lower body moved rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she had circled around the golden stone pillar and climbed onto the ceiling of the barrier jointly created by the Titled Douluo elders.

Yet those golden sword edges seemed capable of tracking their enemy. Contrary to Bibi Dong's expectations, they transformed into flexible blades and followed behind her.

Wherever she fled, the golden flexible blades pursued her, stabbing wherever she went.

"It's actually a mutated soul skill." Among the Titled Douluo present were quite a few who understood Qin Xuan's first five soul skills. They saw that his fourth soul skill had changed from a delayed area attack incapable of locking onto opponents into an instant-cast skill that could pursue enemies, with its attack speed and range greatly increased.

Their eyes lit up in unison.

"It seems Xuan'er truly obtained a great opportunity in Slaughter City this time. Not only did it improve the quality of his Martial Soul, it also caused his soul skills to mutate."

"The Vermilion Bird sealed within the Everbright Sword is now practically his Second Martial Soul, able to be released alongside his first Martial Soul."

"Xuan'er's future achievements will be immeasurable."

"Unfortunately, this Vermilion Bird is not truly a Second Martial Soul and cannot be fitted with Soul Rings. Otherwise, his future achievements might even surpass this old man's."

"He may even have a chance to take that step."

The one speaking was Qian Daoliu. He rarely spoke, yet his words held undisguised praise.

Although he did not know that Qin Xuan's fourth soul skill had mutated because the age of its Soul Ring had exceeded ten thousand years,

that did not hinder his insight.

Having lived for so many years, he had already seen every sort of strange and unusual Martial Soul on the continent. Moreover, he had already known something about Qin Xuan.

He quickly saw through the truth of it.

As soon as those words were spoken, Qian Xunji and the five worshippers standing beside him were thrown into an uproar.

Including Qian Xunji, whether they were willing to admit it or not, the talent and strength Qin Xuan had displayed truly astonished them.

They simply had not expected the Grand Worship to rate Qin Xuan so highly.

Having the hope of taking that step—did that not mean Qin Xuan might reach Level-Hundred and become a god?

Come to think of it, if that Vermilion Bird truly became a Second Martial Soul and could be fitted with Soul Rings, it might not be entirely impossible.

"What an irritating soul skill. It just never ends."

Bibi Dong was on the verge of losing her temper from Qin Xuan's seemingly endless Everbright Thrust Formation. The blades were all flexible and carried Vermilion Bird flames, making them far harder to cut apart than plant vines.

Even her Death Spider Web Binding could not stop them.

They clung to her like a sticky plaster, unbearably annoying.

So she looked down at Qin Xuan, who was controlling his soul skill from the ground. Their gazes met, and a sly curve suddenly appeared on Bibi Dong's beautiful face. "Although your soul skill has mutated, it seems your main body still cannot move while sustaining it."

"That does seem to be the case." Qin Xuan smiled faintly and readily admitted it. He had never intended to defeat Bibi Dong with a mere ten-thousand-year soul skill.

Because although Bibi Dong looked somewhat disheveled, she still had not used her full strength.

"Then this is much simpler." Bibi Dong's sixth Soul Ring lit up, and tens of thousands of pale purple, translucent spider spikes roughly a foot long suddenly appeared above Qin Xuan.

"Sixth soul skill, Bloodsucking Spider Spikes." With a sweep of Bibi Dong's right hand, countless spider spikes fell upon Qin Xuan from all directions like raindrops.

The area they covered was immense, leaving almost no possibility of evasion.

Qin Xuan's second Soul Ring lit up, and Everbright Sword Qi enveloped him. In an instant, he scattered the first wave of spider spikes and swiftly fled the range of Bibi Dong's soul skill.

But soon, Bibi Dong summoned another massive wave of spider spikes. Left with no choice, Qin Xuan's fifth Soul Ring lit up as he used his fifth soul skill, Weapon Soul Clone.

An Everbright Sword possessing the same power as his Martial Soul split off from it.

With the Vertical Sword Technique in his left hand and the Horizontal Sword Technique in his right, Qin Xuan either knocked aside or severed the spider spikes. Using offense as defense, he created an impenetrable defense.

Bibi Dong smiled and summoned another large wave of spider spikes. "It's useless. As long as I still have Soul Power, the Bloodsucking Spider Spikes are inexhaustible. And with one fewer Soul Ring than me, more than half of your Soul Power has likely been consumed already, hasn't it? Use your sixth soul skill soon, or you will have no chance of defeating me."

Just as Qin Xuan wanted to test Bibi Dong's full strength, Bibi Dong likewise wanted to force Qin Xuan to reveal his full power.

Because fighting Qin Xuan had made her feel the long-lost Blood Boiling.

Perhaps, on the path of becoming Soul Masters, they might be able to walk onward together in the future.

Whenever the image of Qin Xuan breaking through her three defenses last time surfaced in her mind, there was even a moment when Bibi Dong thought, If I had never met Xiaogang, being with him might not have been so bad.

But when she thought of Yu Xiaogang, she had no choice but to discard that thought.

"Then I'll do as you wish." Qin Xuan's fiery red wings spread with a flap, and his entire body actually rose into the air.

Golden-red flames soared into the sky. The first to be incinerated were Bibi Dong's Bloodsucking Spider Spikes.

Then came the ground, which was scorched into a massive hole. Even the Soul Power barrier jointly created by the Titled Douluo elders was burned until it cracked, with strands of flame leaking out.

The Titled Douluo elders supporting the Soul Power barrier were horrified. Ling Yuan Douluo in particular could not help crying out.

"What terrifyingly powerful flames." In terms of flame power alone, her Ling Yuan Flame was like children playing house compared to Qin Xuan's.
