Chapter 130: Qian Xunji's Shock
**Chapter 130: Qian Xunji's Shock**
With Tang Chen here, Tang Hao naturally wouldn't be able to escape.
"Hao'er, you just obtained the Domain of the God of Death and you're still not proficient in it. You need to refine your mindset over the next two years!"
"You must learn to control your killing intent, otherwise, the Domain of the God of Death will only harm you!"
Tang Chen looked at Tang Hao with a furrowed brow and said.
He was very happy that his grandson had managed to return safely from the City of Massacre, but he didn't expect Tang Hao to be so incapable of controlling his own Domain. He had almost committed an atrocity. His Domain nearly slipped out of his control due to his own murderous intent.
This allowed him to see his grandson's deficiencies—he was still quite immature.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Tang Hao lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed.
Not only had he kicked Tang San earlier, but he had almost gone mad just now.
If his grandfather hadn't arrived at that moment, his older brother and his family would have been in danger.
Although he had great respect for his older brother, he didn't think his older brother could suppress him when his Domain of the God of Death became enraged.
"In the end, you still lack experience, but since you're not fit to train alone right now, for the next two years, you can train with me first!"
"While you learn to master your Domain of the God of Death, I will also teach you some other skills."
Tang Chen sighed and took Tang Hao away.
In his current state, if Tang Hao wasn't personally cared for, he might go mad because of his own Domain at any moment.
Besides, he had promised to teach him the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Explosive Rings once he returned safely from the City of Massacre. Now it was time to keep that promise.
In his opinion, although his grandson's character still had some flaws, his qualifications were without question. He was definitely a genius among geniuses.
In the entire Haotian Sect, only Tang Hao had the talent to learn the Great Sumeru Hammer; no one else was as qualified as him.
So, if he didn't want the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Explosive Ring to be lost to history, he had no choice but to pass them on to Tang Hao.
...
"Teacher!"
While Tang Hao was dragged away by his grandfather to practice in seclusion, Gu Ziyi had already returned to the Spirit City by this time.
"Very good, Xiao Yi, come here and let me take a good look at you!"
Qian Xunji was naturally very happy to see his disciple. He stepped forward and examined Gu Ziyi closely.
In the past, he valued Bibi Dong more and had a laissez-faire (N/E: let it happen) attitude towards Gu Ziyi. Now, his status in his heart was no longer inferior to Bibi Dong's.
This was because his performance over the years had been excellent.
This time, his disciple had been sent abroad and successfully completed the mission he had mentioned when he left, managing to win the Armored Elephant Sect over to their side.
After establishing the precedent with the Armored Elephant Sect, in the last two years, although Gu Ziyi hadn't persuaded other sects to cooperate with the Martial Soul Hall, he had secretly facilitated cooperation with many sects under his control.
Although these sects weren't as large as the seven main sects, his disciple's plan proved that the strategy of conquering forces from some sects was indeed viable.
If this continues, the Martial Soul Hall would really become a giant within a few years.
What has been mentioned above are just Gu Ziyi's contributions to the Martial Soul Hall.
His own cultivation level also made it impossible for Qian Xunji to ignore him.
Tang Xiao and others had been shocked by Gu Ziyi's speed of cultivation. How could Qian Xunji not feel the same?
If his disciple's cultivation speed continued at this pace, it wouldn't even take two years for him to surpass his disciple Bibi Dong in Soul Power level.
This was something Qian Xunji could never have imagined when he first accepted Gu Ziyi as his disciple.
"Not bad, you've gotten much stronger!"
"Rest well when you return this time. There are still tasks for you to do later!"
Qian Xunji patted Gu Ziyi's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"Teacher, what is the mission?"
Gu Ziyi couldn't help but feel curious upon hearing what his teacher mentioned. He had just returned, and now there was already a task to be done. It seemed like that was the reason his teacher called him back!
"Hahaha, we'll talk about that later. Come, introduce your two new followers first!"
Qian Xunji laughed casually, changed the subject, and then looked at Bai Lu and Ning Shuangjiang behind Gu Ziyi.
"Shuangjiang, Lulu, this is my teacher, the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall!"
Gu Ziyi introduced his teacher to Bai Lu and Ning Shuangjiang.
"I have seen His Majesty the Pope!"
The two women spoke quickly and respectfully.
"Teacher, no need for me to introduce them, right? I believe you already know them!"
Then Gu Ziyi looked at his teacher for a moment without saying anything, before finishing the introduction with a sarcastic comment.
"Haha, that's true. I didn't expect you to be the romantic type!"
Qian Xunji laughed and continued, "As for your older sister, I already told her that you accepted them to conquer the Min Clan of the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You can explain the rest to your sister. Your teacher can only help so much!"
"Teacher, so you already knew about this!"
When Gu Ziyi heard Qian Xunji's words, he immediately realized that his affair with Bibi Dong had been discovered by his teacher a long time ago.
Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised and moved. After his teacher had informed his older sister beforehand, it really helped him a lot.
I'm just following the orders to get girls!
Qian Xunji had already carried half the burden for him, and the rest could easily be solved.
And through this incident, Gu Ziyi completely believed that his teacher didn't initially have any idea about Bibi Dong, and he truly considered her his disciple at first.
The reason why he must have acted so atrociously in the original work can only be considered because her performance had disappointed him greatly! (N/E: I'm considering this more of an alternate universe, because even with this explanation, it's still hard to accept his actions in the canon.)
"Nonsense, I'm your teacher, how could you hide anything from me?"
"Did Li Chanfei improve so quickly because of your relationship?"
When Qian Xunji finally mentioned Li Chanfei, he couldn't help but look at his disciple with a strange expression.
At first, he hadn't noticed the questionable relationship between the two.
But when he learned about Ning Shuangjiang's changes after following Gu Ziyi, he immediately thought of Li Chanfei.
After realizing that she and his disciple actually had an ambiguous relationship, Qian Xunji was a little disgusted at first.
You must know that Li Chanfei was originally chosen by Qian Daoliu as his wife!
Although he later rejected her!
This can be considered his former blind date!
The outcome was relatively good; she might have been taken advantage of by his own disciple. But that's not entirely bad, at least the wealth won't flow to strangers!
However, it is impossible for Qian Xunji to say that he didn't dislike Li Chanfei.
He simply didn't like her personality and didn't want to marry her as his wife, but it wasn't that he had no thoughts about her.
Later, he thought about how his wife Xing Dailu came into the picture because of Gu Ziyi, and how his marriage to Xing Dailu was caused by his disciple. So Qian Xunji finally let go of the unhappiness in his heart.
But one thing he didn't understand was how Li Chanfei ended up joining his disciple.
And it seems she's the type of person who just wants to be a lover without any reputation. How could she accept things being this way with his disciple?
If that were the case, wouldn't it have been better if Li Chanfei had chosen him?
Of course, Qian Xunji only complained enviously in his heart. He already had Xing Dailu and didn't need any other woman in his life.
"Haha, I really can't hide anything from the teacher!"
Gu Ziyi didn't know why his teacher was looking at him a little strangely. Maybe he felt that he was being taken advantage of by Li Chanfei!
Qian Xunji waved his hand: "Alright, the teacher won't interfere with your affairs. Go to the training ground, and let the teacher see your current strength!"
As his teacher, Qian Xunji naturally needed to test his disciple's cultivation after the last two years.
"Yes, teacher!"
Gu Ziyi nodded in response.
After that, he and the two girls followed Qian Xunji to the Martial Soul Hall training ground.
As for Yu Long, since there was no danger at the Martial Soul Hall after such a long absence, Qian Xunji gave him a break for now.
"Let's go, use all your means and let the teacher see how much you've improved in the last two years!"
Upon arriving at the training ground, Qian Xunji, who was standing in front of Gu Ziyi, told him to go all out.
"First Soul Skill: Heart Purifying Curse!"
"Third Soul Skill: Golden Light Talisman!"
"Fourth Soul Skill: Restriction Talisman!"
"Fifth Soul Skill: Red Fire Lotus Talisman!"
"Sixth Soul Skill: Thunder Control Talisman!"
"…"
Facing Qian Xunji's test, Gu Ziyi naturally had nothing to hide. He used all his strength for the first time after breaking through to Soul Emperor.
He displayed all of his soul skills and self-created soul abilities one by one in front of his teacher.
It turns out that although he was incredibly powerful, with his soul skills and the Tai Chi Domain, even a Soul Sage would hardly be a match for him.
But Gu Ziyi was facing Qian Xunji, who had the cultivation level of a Title Douluo. His methods were somewhat inadequate for facing him.
No matter how powerful and varied the attacks he could perform were, all of them were defended by Qian Xunji.
"Zhutao Sword!"
Seeing that he couldn't achieve anything, Gu Ziyi could only summon Xiao Tao.
Swish ~
Bai Lu, who was observing from outside the training ground, held a peach tree sword in her arms. When he summoned Zhutao, the sword flew from her arms and into Gu Ziyi's hand.
"Teacher, I'm going again!"
"Third Soul Skill: Golden Light Talisman! Golden Light Sword!"
"Fifth Soul Skill: Red Fire Lotus Talisman!"
"Sixth Soul Skill: Thunder Control Talisman!"
After Zhutao was summoned into his hand, all of his attack methods focused on the Golden Light Swordsmanship.
Next, he added all the flames produced by the Red Fire Lotus from his fifth soul skill and the lightning from his sixth soul skill to the sword as a complement.
For a moment, Zhutao's body not only glowed with golden light but also burned with blood-red flames, and these flames were mixed with terrible blue thunder and lightning.
Not to mention anything else, the special effects of this ability alone seemed extremely destructive.
"Seventh Soul Skill: True Body of Martial Soul!"
"Fifth Soul Skill: Angel Light Blade!"
Facing Gu Ziyi's attack at this moment, Qian Xunji had to get a little serious. After displaying the true form of his Martial Soul, he quickly condensed an angelic light blade in his hand.
Whooosh ~
After Qian Xunji held the Angel Light Blade, Gu Ziyi also controlled the Peachwood Sword with dual attributes of thunder and fire to attack Qian Xunji.
Boom—
With the blessing of the dual attributes of thunder and fire, combined with the control abilities provided by the Golden Light Sword, the synergistic effect was truly extraordinary, and he could already fight against Qian Xunji.
For a moment, though, the Golden Light Sword was still unable to break through his teacher's defense, and he was able to resist all of his attacks.
"Come, sword!"
Seeing that his attack still wasn't strong enough, Gu Ziyi retracted his sword and called Zhuotao back.
"The Mysterious Temple of the Nine Heavens transforms into divine thunder, and the brilliant power of the heavens is drawn through the talismans!"
After that, Gu Ziyi once again displayed his sixth soul skill along with the incantation.
Rumble~
Under his incantation, a thunderclap suddenly echoed through the air, and then several bolts of lightning in the clear sky condensed out of nowhere, finally landing on the Thunder Control Talisman in Gu Ziyi's hand.
With the Thunder Control Talisman in his hand, his hair stood on end as thunder and lightning intertwined around his body, and the lightning even shone in his eyes.
However, compared to the first time he used it, the effect was not as strong, probably only a tenth of what was demonstrated back then.
Even so, Gu Ziyi appeared incredibly handsome.
"So beautiful!"
"Brother Yi's move is so powerful that my heart races every time I see him!"
Ning Shuangjiang and Bai Lu, who were watching the battle from a distance, became excited upon seeing Gu Ziyi's new appearance once again.
"This kid!"
Qian Xunji was also extremely surprised when he saw his disciple's new form at this moment. He hadn't expected that after Gu Ziyi recited the incantation to cast his sixth soul skill again, he could actually attract thunder and lightning from the sky to use for himself.
Sigh~
When Gu Ziyi attached the Thunder Control Talisman to the Peachwood Sword Zhuotao, the destructive power of the Peachwood Sword undoubtedly increased significantly compared to before.
Bang—
As Qian Xunji still used the original Angel Light Blade to resist his attack, the blade in his hand was broken by his disciple after just a few attempts.
"Haha, very good, not bad!"
"Xiao Yi, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Qian Xunji, whose Angel Light Blade had been broken by him, not only didn't get angry but also laughed loudly in joy.
He really hadn't expected that his second disciple's fighting ability would be this strong after just two years away.
Even if he were fighting a Douluo, if the opponent wasn't very careful, this Douluo could be killed under Gu Ziyi's sword!
Moreover, the attack speed of his Golden Light Sword was so fast that it was truly difficult for an ordinary Douluo to face his disciple now.
"Xiao Yi, I've seen your offensive power, now let the teacher see how your defensive abilities are!"
Qian Xunji casually summoned another Angel Light Blade and, in the blink of an eye, it flew toward Gu Ziyi for an attack.
Having tested his disciple's offensive ability before, Qian Xunji had always been on the defensive, not retaliating. Now, wanting to test his disciple's defensive abilities, he naturally allowed it.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
...
Under Qian Xunji's active attacks.
Even though Gu Ziyi exhibited his Tai Chi Domain, he couldn't stop him, and Qian Xunji, who was serious, continued to attack.
"First Level: Xiyin!" (N/E: In the original it's called 'Four taels equal a thousand pounds!', but I changed the name in the Soul Master Competition arc.)
"Second Level: Nizhuan!" (N/E: In the original 'Use your strength to fight!', I also changed the name before.)
"Golden Light Shield!"
"…"
After Gu Ziyi used all his defensive methods, seeing that there was no other way to deal with his strike, he used Falling Peach Blossoms to directly escape the attack and teleported out of the training field.
"Teacher, I give up!"
After teleporting out of the field, Gu Ziyi simply surrendered.
He had already demonstrated his defensive abilities in the best possible way, so there was no need to endure until the end.
"…"
Seeing his behavior, Qian Xunji was speechless.
He had really planned to cause some frustration to his disciple just a moment ago, but he didn't expect him to be so clever and just give up.
