Qian Renxue looked at the two impulsive people and felt helpless. She thought it would be good to let Qi Ling teach Tuo Lei a lesson, so that they would know how capable Qi Ling was.
So the two of them arrived at an open space behind the city lord's mansion, while Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, and Xue Ke watched from the side.
After the two sides stood on opposite sides, Tuo Lei was the first to summon his Martial Soul, which was an enormous, incredibly thick shield engraved with intricate patterns, exuding a sacred aura.
" Tuo Lei, Level 63 Defensive Battle Soul Emperor, Martial Soul: Holy Shield!" Tuo Lei said, as six Soul Ring floated onto his body. The combination of two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Ring was quite good.
Of course, she's still a bit inferior to Qi Ling.
Since the other party had already introduced himself, Qi Ling naturally couldn't be too impolite. So, the domineering phantom of the Divine Dragon Emperor reappeared and completed its possession. At the same time, Qi Ling's Soul Ring configuration of two purple, two black, and one red was also revealed.
" Qi Ling, Level 57 Power Attack System Battle Soul King, Martial Soul: Divine Dragon Emperor."
In one year, Qi Ling's Soul Power only increased by two levels. This is because the Soul Power required for his Martial Soul to upgrade is several times or even dozens of times that of an ordinary Martial Soul. Such an upgrade speed is already quite remarkable.
Tuo Lei stared at Qi Ling's glowing red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, completely stunned, his mind blank.
What's going on? Isn't he Soul King? How can he have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? It's already outrageous enough that Captain Qian Renxue, Soul Saint, possesses a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but what did this Soul King say?
"You, how could you have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!" Tuo Lei exclaimed in shock. "This, this is unreasonable!"
"Why all the nonsense? Are we still going to compete?" Qi Ling said helplessly. "If you're going to compete, hurry up and start, or you won't have a chance to show off later!"
"Damn it, don't think you can scare me like that! Second Soul Skill: Holy Light Illumination!" Tuo Lei shouted, as his shield shone brightly forward.
As Defense System Martial Soul, Tuo Lei doesn't have many offensive methods, but this Holy Light Illumination is one of his large-area damage skills, which can deal holy damage to enemies illuminated by the holy light.
Unfortunately, the damage from a Hundred-Year Soul Skill unleashed by a Soul Emperor was far too minor for Qi Ling, to the point that it was negligible. He didn't even bother to summon the Golden Sacred Dragon Armor, and simply bathed in holy light.
Seeing that Qi Ling was completely unresponsive in his holy light, as if she were sunbathing, Tuo Lei exclaimed in surprise, "This, how is this possible!"
"Your bathroom heater is nice, how much is it?" Qi Ling asked with a smile. "It feels as warm as the sun, it's really nice."
Tuo Lei felt utterly humiliated that his attack had been so blatantly ignored! He kicked his shield hard and shouted, "Don't push your luck! Take this! Fifth Soul Skill: Holy Shield Charge!"
Shield Charge is Soul Skill almost every Soul Master who uses a shield must know, and it is usually also their most important attack skill.
As Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, Tuo Lei's Holy Shield Charge is actually quite powerful. Almost no Soul Master of the same level can block it head-on and can only choose to retreat.
However, just because Soul Master of the same level can't stop him doesn't mean Soul Master of a lower level can't!
Qi Ling looked at Tuo Lei charging towards her and smiled disdainfully. Then, she steadied herself and used the Divine Power of the Earth to firmly pin herself to the ground. She then stretched out a hand to Tuo Lei.
Tuo Lei, who was launching his charge, felt as if he had suddenly crashed into a mountain. No matter how hard he tried, his face turned red, he couldn't move forward even half a step.
Although Tuo Lei was unwilling to admit it, the harsh reality told him that even after trying his best, he couldn't even get Qi Ling to take it seriously, and he didn't even bother to use his Soul Skill.
After Tuo Lei's momentum subsided, Qi Ling exerted a little force and immediately pushed him back, causing him to stumble back several steps. Carried away by the inertia of his shield, he finally landed on his backside.
"This isn't right, Knight Tuo Lei. Don't hold back, attack with all your might!" Qi Ling laughed. "Or are you afraid of bullying the weak and becoming a laughingstock? Don't worry, there are no outsiders here besides us, no one will laugh at you."
Tuo Lei thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second!" Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke were practically laughing their heads off. "Nobody's laughing at me yet!"
"Hmph! Don't be so smug, Qi Ling. I'm Defense System Soul Master. Offense isn't my forte. What kind of skill is it to repel my attack!" Tuo Lei stood up and said, "If you're so capable, then come and attack!"
"Attack? Fine! It's been a long time since anyone dared to say that to me," Qi Ling laughed. "Then, Knight Tuo Lei, are you ready?"
Without Qi Ling's reminder, Tuo Lei was already prepared to defend with all his might. After all, he had just made a boast, and if his defense failed, he would really lose face.
Unfortunately for him, Qi Ling's attacks made no difference whether he defended or not.
When Tuo Lei held up his shield and faced the enormous energy blast that Qi Ling was holding, which was over ten meters in diameter, he truly experienced what it meant to feel the warmth of the sun!
"Are you ready, Knight Tuo Lei?" Qi Ling laughed. "It's alright if you're not ready yet, there's plenty of time later. Go to the hospital to prepare!"
When the sun-like Gaia Energy Cannon finally struck, Tuo Lei's shield only held out for a few seconds before breaking through, and he was completely surrounded by the energy blast, his fate unknown.
"Wow! Teacher, he's so amazing!" Xue Ke, who rarely saw Qi Ling fight, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Ning Rongrong said smugly, "Hmph! Serves him right! Let that guy be arrogant! Qi Ling is someone who can even beat Soul Saint without hesitation, this Tuo Lei is too insignificant!"
Qian Renxue said helplessly, "Hopefully, Tuo Lei will learn from this experience. Letting him rest for a few months would be a good thing."
After everything calmed down, Tuo Lei lay there in the huge crater in the ground, smoking and covered in wounds, completely unconscious.
Qi Ling said apologetically to Qian Renxue, "I'm sorry, Xue'er, I couldn't control the strength of this move once I started. I've already stopped, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."
Qian Renxue said indifferently, "It's alright. Tuo Lei brought this upon himself. I'm already very grateful that you spared his life. Besides, the Holy Temple Knight Order have dedicated Soul Master for healing, so you don't need to blame yourself so much."
"Oh, really? There's Soul Master in charge of treatment," Qi Ling said. "I should have gone even further."
