This was a very strange situation, because Zhu Zhuqing was quite certain that her target was Qi Ling, and once Qi Ling was locked onto by her Eighth Soul Skill, no matter what escape Soul Skill she used, it would be unusable.
Now, Zhu Zhuqing's target has been changed to Yu Tianyi! It wasn't that she consciously changed it; it happened as soon as she realized it, as if it were a predetermined fact.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's attack could not be stopped. This strike accurately hit Yu Tianyi. Even when Yu Tianyi was using her Martial Soul Avatar and in her most powerful attack form, she was unable to withstand the power of this strike and immediately lost the ability to fight.
This was only because Zhu Zhuqing stopped in time at the last moment, forcibly withdrawing some of her power. Moreover, instead of aiming at Yu Tianyi's vital points, it canceled out her most powerful attack. This is enough to imagine how terrifying the power of Zhu Zhuqing's attack was.
"Waaah! Sister Qing, why did you attack me?" Yu Tianyi cried, clutching her right hand, which was now completely immobile—the price she paid for taking Zhu Zhuqing's attack.
"I... I don't know either. Just before I attacked you, I thought I was attacking Qi Ling," Zhu Zhuqing said, puzzled, unsure of what had happened.
Ning Rongrong, who had been assisting everyone and observing the situation, shouted, " Zhu Zhuqing, Tianyi, don't be fooled by Qi Ling! He's the one who's behind this!"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately looked at Qi Ling, Qi Ling then smiled and said, "Yes, it was indeed me. Can you guess what I did?"
If they can't break Qi Ling's move, then obviously the rest of the battle can't continue. Yu Tianyi said, "Master, did you use your Spiritual Power to interfere with Sister Qing, causing her to misjudge?"
"No, once Zhu Zhuqing's attack was launched, it had already locked onto me. Disrupting her mind wouldn't have caused this result," Qi Ling laughed. "Guess again."
At this moment, Tang San, who had been using the Blue Silver Grass to restrain Qi Ling, said, "Brother, I've been using the Blue Silver Grass to bind you, so I can sense that you just used a considerable amount of Soul Power! That must be your Soul Skill, right?"
Qi Ling laughed, "Oh my, you guessed right, Xiao San! That's right, this is my newly acquired Eighth Soul Skill: Steal the Stars and Swap the Moon!"
"The effects of this ability are difficult to explain clearly to you in a short time, as it involves some issues of the world's rules. In short, you can understand it this way: one of its effects is that it can, in a certain aspect, allow two people to exchange their existence in this world, that is, a temporary identity swap!"
"The most direct result of doing this is that the attacks I receive will be transferred to others, and because it interferes with the most basic existence itself, even lock-on skills will be unable to be used."
The crowd could only understand part of what Qi Ling said, but they all realized one thing: Qi Ling could deflect attacks from others, a skill that was uncounterable.
"What, what are we going to do, brother? Aren't you making things difficult for us?" Tang San said helplessly. Qi Ling's defense was already practically indestructible, and now he can redirect other people's attacks. How can we fight him?
Just as everyone was struggling with their problem, Zhu Zhuqing silently assumed an attack stance again, her Soul Power surging once more, and her Netherworld Domain unfolding, as if she were going all out.
"Huh? Sister Qing, are you going to continue attacking like this?" Yu Tianyi exclaimed in surprise. "But... we can't break through Teacher's Soul Skill, what should we do?"
"Such a powerful Soul Skill can't possibly have no cooldown," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly. "If we don't attack now, we'll have even less chance of winning."
Qi Ling smiled slightly. Zhu Zhuqing's judgment was correct. Her Soul Skill did indeed have a cooldown time, and this cooldown time was related to the intensity of the opponent's attack. The stronger the attack, the more difficult it was to transfer, the greater the consumption, and the longer it would take to use the move again.
Zhu Zhuqing's attack just now was enough to pose a certain threat to Qi Ling. After using " Steal the Stars and Swap the Moon ", Qi Ling will need to wait another ten minutes before she can use this ability again.
Although it seems like a short time, it is actually a remarkable achievement. Among the Titled Douluo from Sea God Island present, even if they used their Ninth Soul Skill, Qi Ling's cooldown time would not exceed one minute.
Seizing the opportunity, while Qi Ling's skills were on cooldown, the group launched another fierce attack on him. This time, two more people joined the battle: Hu Liena and Xiao Wu.
After Hu Liena unleashed her Martial Soul Avatar, her Charm abilities were brought to their fullest potential. However, unfortunately, even if Qi Ling emptied his mind and allowed Hu Liena to unleash her Soul Skill, he would still be unable to fall for her terrifying Spiritual Power.
As for Xiao Wu, she planned to take advantage of the opportunity created by everyone, use her Teleportation to launch a surprise attack on Qi Ling, and use her wrestling skills to decide the winner.
However, the premise for doing this is that Qi Ling's feet must be off the ground. Otherwise, with the Divine Power of the Earth, he would not lose to anyone in terms of strength, and it would be impossible for Xiao Wu to throw him.
As Control System Soul Master, Tang San was soon forced to summon the Clear Sky Hammer and enter the fray himself. Since Yu Tianyi could not use it with one hand, she no longer had enough suppressive power. To expose Qi Ling's weakness, a more concentrated and effective attack was needed.
Qi Ling caught Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer with one hand and laughed, "Hey, Xiao San, your hammer has gotten heavier. Looks like you've improved quite a bit."
"Of course, big brother, you're not the only one getting stronger. I've grown a lot over the years too!" Tang San said, preparing to swing his Clear Sky Hammer and unleash the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, which was also one of the attack abilities that could pose a threat to Qi Ling.
But just then, when Tang San tried to pull the Clear Sky Hammer out of Qi Ling's hand, he discovered a fatal problem— the Clear Sky Hammer was completely immobile in Qi Ling's hand and could not be pulled out at all.
"Honestly, Xiao San, didn't I tell you to treat this battle like a fight to the death, otherwise you absolutely won't have a chance of winning!" Qi Ling laughed. "You don't actually think that just because you've become Soul Douluo, you can compete with me in strength, do you?"
