The power of the True Dragon Body cannot be directly felt yet; it can only be understood through future combat. Right now, Qi Ling is more concerned about his Fourth Soul Ring, which is the most fundamental way for a Soul Master to increase their strength.
It must be said that this adventure was indeed extremely worthwhile, and the gains far exceeded Qi Ling's expectations, because his Soul Power Level had now reached a terrifying level of forty-five!
Originally, Qi Ling needed more Soul Power to upgrade his Martial Soul than others, so even though he absorbed Six Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, had accumulated Soul Power for three months beforehand, and had also absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, reaching level 45 was still beyond his expectations.
He then summoned the Blood Devil Emperor Martial Soul, and four Soul Ring appeared, two purple and two black. The last black Soul Ring, in particular, was as black as ink and gave people a very heavy sense of oppression.
Intending to test her current attack power, Qi Ling randomly picked up a rock about half her height and activated her First Soul Skill, Blood Devil Hundred Rending Claws. Under the barrage of hundreds of claw shadows, the hard rock was instantly shredded into pieces resembling tofu.
Seeing the results of her battle, Qi Ling couldn't help but gasp. Her First Soul Skill was never known for its destructive power, but rather for its ability to be used in conjunction with her passive ability to fight attrition and protracted battles. How could it not be surprising that it had such terrifying destructive power?
"Indeed powerful. I wonder what effect my Fourth Soul Skill will have?" Qi Ling then examined his Fourth Soul Skill, and what he saw immediately surprised him, then filled him with joy.
"Isn't this a bit too overpowered? How are others supposed to survive?" Qi Ling said, quite speechless. "Besides, this is only a Fourth Soul Skill, right? There's no way anyone can fight against a skill of this level, is there?"
Qi Ling initially felt that she was weak and alone, and was still lacking compared to a well-established team. However, after seeing her newly acquired Fourth Soul Skill, Qi Ling had a completely new idea.
Since returning from Sunset Forest three days ago, everyone at the Shrek Academy has been listless and unable to eat or drink. Although they know that Qi Ling is alright, they can't help but worry about not being able to see him in person.
On that very day, just as everyone was about to go looking for Qi Ling, Zhao Wuji suddenly burst into the student council room, shouting, "Hey, you guys, Qi Ling's back!"
"What?" The seven people who were sitting in the student council room immediately jumped up from their seats.
"Where is Brother Qi?" Xiao Wu asked first.
"He just got back and went straight to the principal's office to report to the dean and the Grandmaster! The dean then asked me to come and tell you, so you can rest assured," Zhao Wuji said.
Before Zhao Wuji could finish speaking, Xiao Wu had already dashed out like a gust of wind, with the others following closely Xiao Wu.
When Xiao Wu burst into the dean's office and saw that even more handsome and mature figure, all the longing and worry she had felt for days burst forth. She rushed into Qi Ling's arms, crying, " Brother Qi, where have you been these past few days? I was so worried about you! Waaah..."
Qi Ling was overjoyed to see Xiao Wu. She stroked Xiao Wu's head and said, " Xiao Wu, don't cry. I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm back now, aren't I?"
"It's not just Xiao Wu who's worried about you!" Ning Rongrong's voice came over at this moment. Then she went to Qi Ling's side and pinched his lower back hard. "You bad person, if you dare to make us worry like this again, see how I deal with you!"
Everyone was naturally overjoyed at Qi Ling's return. After the initial excitement, they all became curious about how Qi Ling had dealt with that ferocious Ferocious Beast, which had almost wiped them out.
The mere mention of this made Flender, the Grandmaster, and Zhao Wuji incredibly embarrassed!
That night, they were essentially saved by Qi Ling, and it seemed that after they left, Qi Ling single-handedly dealt with Tyrannical Savage Man. Didn't this mean that they were the ones who were a burden to Qi Ling, and that if it weren't for them, Qi Ling would have already taken care of his target?
When questioned by the crowd, Qi Ling could only give a perfunctory answer, saying that the Tyrannical Savage was already at its last gasp and, after a fight with her, it exploded on its own! The huge explosion that night was caused by the tyrant itself.
After all, the concept of modern weapons is too complicated to explain, so Qi Ling preferred to find some excuses to gloss over it.
"So, what did you do after that, Boss Qi? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Ma Hongjun asked curiously.
"Me? Hmm... I absorbed Tyrannical Savage's Soul Ring!" Qi Ling laughed.
"What?!" The one who exclaimed in surprise wasn't any of the Shrek Seven Devils, but Grandmaster. He asked in astonishment, "How is this possible? Qi Ling, that's a 60,000-year-old Soul Beast, and an ancient Ferocious Beast at that!"
In every respect, what Qi Ling did has exceeded the Grandmaster's imagination, and could even be said to have overturned his theories.
If Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing's absorption of Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring could be explained by various accidental conditions, then Qi Ling's absorption of Six Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring can only be described as inevitable. This can only mean that Qi Ling herself is indeed different from ordinary people, with an astonishing ability to withstand pressure.
However, Qi Ling couldn't offer a concrete explanation for these events. Could it be that she possessed some inexplicable system that caused all of this?
"My God, 60,000 years! This... Teacher Zhao, do you have a 60,000-year-old Soul Ring?" Ma Hongjun asked Zhao Wuji, who was standing beside him.
Zhao Wuji's lips twitched, and he said rather awkwardly, "My... my Seventh Soul Ring is a 50,000-year Soul Ring..."
"Then, Dean, you..." Ma Hongjun turned to ask Flender, but Flender suddenly coughed Erlong and said, "Cough cough, where did Erlong go? Why haven't I seen her? Erlong? Erlong?"
Watching Flender leave quickly, everyone felt incredibly ashamed, and at the same time, they couldn't help but marvel at how Qi Ling's Soul Ring combination had actually surpassed the Soul Saint level!
" Boss Qi, you obtained a Six Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring from such a ferocious Soul Beast, so you must have acquired a very powerful Soul Skill, right?" Oscar asked curiously. "Could you show it to us and let us see what it's like?"
Qi Ling smiled slightly and said, "Alright, that's exactly what I was planning to show you all. Besides, you're all about to participate in the competition, so I can't let you off the hook without some intensive training!"
Upon hearing the words "special training," everyone's eyes widened in shock, and they secretly wished they could devour Oscar alive.
Oscar, with a pained expression, said pitifully, "I... I... Boss Qi, I take back what I just said, okay?"
"It's too late, everyone, come with me!" Qi Ling smiled as she walked out of the dean's office.
