Under normal circumstances, players who had yet to reach Highest Heaven could increase their Soul Strength.
Qin Feng, for example, had previously obtained ways to increase his Soul Strength, allowing him to withstand ordinary soul damage.
But...
Great Soul Master Sheferika's Soul Siphoning was a Primordial soul-damage skill. Although it had a locked, fixed cooldown, just six siphons were enough to drain anyone to death!
The fixed cooldown was "locked" because the skill was simply too powerful, so even certain special methods could not affect its cooldown...
For example, some skills could reset the cooldowns of all the user's skills.
Other skills allowed the user to cast skills that were still on cooldown, such as Qin Feng's Dark Sky Flow.
But once a skill's fixed cooldown was "locked," none of those cooldown-affecting effects would work on it. The user could only wait out the cooldown...
Of all Great Soul Master Sheferika's skills, this was already the most reliable way to kill a challenger.
Among the other offensive skills, some were stronger and some were more direct. But with a Three-Low Vessel-low level, low attributes, and low Divinity-they could not show their effectiveness at all. They were nowhere near as straightforward and decisive as Soul Siphoning.
Normally, it would take only two and a half seconds to end the battle.
But this time...
Had it only been two and a half seconds?
Half a minute had already passed since the challenge began, and Qin Feng had killed the vessel five or six times!
And each time the vessel had just resurrected, Sheferika had seized the opportunity to cast Soul Siphoning on Qin Feng.
The plan had been to kill Qin Feng with six siphons.
Yet...
Sheferika discovered that Qin Feng was still full of life, without even the slightest sign of
