Watching the Soul Beast he had prepared for a fierce battle be defeated by Qi Ling with a single punch, Tang San felt like crying. With such a vast difference in strength, could they really ever catch up?
No wonder the Grandmaster insisted on letting them act alone. Indeed, if they were always with Qi Ling, they would probably unconsciously rely on him and become lax.
"Brother, isn't this Ghost Tiger a bit inappropriate?" Tang San couldn't help but ask, seeing that Qi Ling didn't continue chasing the Ghost Tiger and instead let it escape injured.
"It's not suitable! Only Zhu Zhuqing can absorb this guy's attributes, but for Zhu Zhuqing, it's definitely not the best choice," Qi Ling said.
In fact, Qi Ling had long felt that Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Skill was far from ideal. As an assassin, she was wasting a lot of Soul Power to create clones, which completely contradicted her combat philosophy.
Therefore, Qi Ling's positioning for Zhu Zhuqing is that of a ghostly assassin focused on speed and attack, and all her Soul Ring and Soul Skill should be developed in this direction.
More importantly, Zhu Zhuqing's Third Soul Ring was already Amethyst Soul Ring provided by the five-thousand-year-old Shadow Demon Leopard. For her Fourth Soul Ring to absorb another five-thousand-year-old Soul Ring would be a complete waste of resources, and Qi Ling was unwilling to do so.
According to his plan, Zhu Zhuqing's Fourth Soul Skill should ideally be a status-based skill that significantly enhances her own strength; Ghost Tiger clearly does not meet the standard.
Zhu Zhuqing had no objections after hearing Qi Ling's words, clearly acquiescing to Qi Ling's actions and fully demonstrating her trust in Qi Ling.
After Ghost Tiger left, the number of Soul Beast attracted by the Beast-Attracting Powder gradually increased. However, Tang San had already set up another poison array around the perimeter, preventing any Soul Beast under two thousand years old from getting close.
Three more Soul Beast, each between three and five thousand years old, broke through the poison array once more. Qi Ling glanced at them and lost interest, saying, " Xiao San, you can pick one to deal with. Leave the other two to me."
Tang San smiled helplessly, but mustered his courage and said, "Big brother, you've taken up two spots by yourself, that's too cunning. Let us have the other two!"
Qi Ling smiled at Tang San and said, "Hmm, not bad, Xiao San, you know how to steal credit from me! Alright, then so be it. You can have the Qilin Armor Beast and the Blood Demon Rabbit. I'll deal with this Rampaging Wild Boar."
Seeing Qi Ling's allocation, Tang San smiled helplessly again. The Qilin Armor Beast focused on defense and could be said to be the easiest Soul Beast to deal with. As for the Blood Demon Rabbit, it was practically a freebie. Although it had many deceptive tricks, they were almost useless under the effect of his Purple Demon Eye.
On the contrary, the Rampaging Wild Boar was not only the strongest, reaching almost six thousand years of age, but also the most difficult to deal with. Its Berserk Charge was so powerful that even Soul Saint dared not easily stop it.
Even so, facing two Thousand-Year Soul Beast at once is no easy task. The Shrek Seven Devils immediately perked up and, under Tang San's command, deployed their formation.
Qi Ling smiled and walked towards the Rampaging Wild Boar: "Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's get started quickly. We don't want to be outdone by them just because we're dealing with one Soul Beast."
The Rampaging Wild Boar ignored what Qi Ling was saying. It pawed the ground twice with its right foreleg, preparing to charge, while lowering its head and pointing its hard forehead at Qi Ling.
As its signature move, the Rampaging Wild Boar's charge is so powerful that even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast rarely manage to block it head-on. This is not only due to its strength, but more importantly, its skull is incredibly hard, comparable to that of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
At the same time, when the Rampaging Wild Boar charges, a special energy field forms in front of it, which not only weakens the opponent's defense, but also creates a shockwave, greatly enhancing its attack power.
This is why these Soul Beast can roam freely and unhindered in the forest. After all, even if I can't beat you, I can just charge away and run away, since no one can stop me anyway.
However, today, this wild boar was destined to be disappointed, because Qi Ling stood directly in front of it, showing no intention of dodging. He wanted to test just how astonishing the wild boar's power really was.
The instant her hand made contact with the wild boar's tusks, Qi Ling immediately used her Dragon Controlling Force to neutralize its impact, and then unleashed the Divine Power of the Earth to contend with it.
Even so, despite being fully prepared, Qi Ling was still held back by the boar, only stopping after being pushed five meters away, resulting in a stalemate that made people marvel at the boar's strength.
"Not bad, you little rascal. With just this one move, you could practically roam freely in this forest," Qi Ling said, pressing her hands against its two fangs. "But too bad, this is all you have."
The Rampaging Wild Boar's charge was indeed powerful, but after losing that initial impact, its strength seemed less formidable, even inferior to many power-type Soul Beast of the same level.
To the boar's surprise, its body gradually lifted off the ground; Qi Ling was actually holding it up by its two tusks!
It should be noted that as a wild boar that is already enormous, it weighs well over a thousand pounds, yet Qi Ling lifted it into the air. Its pitifully small brain was unable to comprehend this action for a moment.
In the next instant, Qi Ling slammed it headfirst onto the ground, making a sound like a landslide and the ground shook violently, as if a minor earthquake had occurred.
Even so, despite the violent impact, the Rampaging Wild Boar appeared unharmed. After getting up from the ground, it only felt dizzy for a moment, and after swaying a few times, it actually regained its fighting ability.
After all, besides its own charging attacks, the Rampaging Wild Boar's impenetrable hide is also key to its survival; almost no Soul Beast under ten thousand years old can break through its defenses.
"Great! Very energetic! Let's go again!" Qi Ling said with a smile, striking a pose like a bullfighter.
This wild boar was new to society and unaware of the wickedness of human nature. Seeing Qi Ling Qi Ling in front of it, it still charged towards her without hesitation.
This time, Qi Ling blocked his charge, but only retreated three meters. This wasn't because Qi Ling's strength had increased, but because the Rampaging Wild Boar's strength had decreased.
In combat, it's all about striking while the iron is hot. This is especially true for Soul Beast like the Rampaging Wild Boar, whose strength lies in their momentum. If one attack fails, the power of the second attack will be diminished.
This time, Qi Ling lifted it above her head again and slammed it to the ground. After getting up again, the Rampaging Wild Boar hesitated for a moment before launching a third attack.
Until finally, the Rampaging Wild Boar's attacks posed no threat to Qi Ling at all, as he easily defended them with one hand. Only then did Qi Ling say helplessly, "Sigh, I'm tired of playing with you, so I'll let you go back."
With a "bang!" the punch sent a jolt through the Rampaging Wild Boar's hard skull, making it vibrate and sound like it might have suffered a concussion. The boar spun around for a moment before collapsing to the ground.
