Bab 767: Chapter 136: Silver's Second Awakening, Just Like Paper Mache_1
After activating his first soul ring, Long Aotian had no intention of stopping there. Immediately following, his third soul ring also lit up.
Qin Xiao clearly saw that a layer of dark gold luster had appeared on the surface of Long Aotian's skin, making him look as though he was cast from metal.
This was the effect of his third soul skill, the Dark Gold Force.
From his appearance alone one could tell that after activating this skill, his defensive power and physical quality would reach an astonishing level.
"Qin Xiao, don't blame me for not reminding you—if you don't activate your soul skill now, you won't have another chance."
The surge of power in his body brought great confidence to Long Aotian.
He looked at a seemingly indifferent Qin Xiao, who appeared to be watching the scene play out and sneered coldly.
What is he doing, acting all composed in front of me at a time like this?
I'll make sure he knows what cruelty means in a little while.
Long Aotian thought darkly.
The more complacent Qin Xiao acted, the happier Long Aotian became.
Just then, Qin Xiao responded calmly, "If you're ready, then let's start."
"My soul skill is not like what you imagine; it won't increase my physical quality."
"Haha, is that so? That's really too bad..." Long Aotian laughed loudly upon hearing this.
The lack of a soul skill that enhanced his own strength meant that Qin Xiao's burst wouldn't be too strong.
"I won't bully you; I'll let you make the first move," Long Aotian gestured magnanimously to Qin Xiao.
He felt he had victory firmly in hand, or at least that's what he believed.
Since he was going to win anyway, why not choose a more visually impactful way to do it?
Like letting Qin Xiao exhaust all his moves and still being unable to break through his defense...
Qin Xiao smiled faintly, "Very well."
As he spoke, he made a sign with his finger as though it were a sword, and a golden light throbbed at the center of his eyebrows.
Under Long Aotian's astonished gaze, a vertical pupil slowly opened.
"This is..."
Long Aotian was shocked, his mouth gaping open.
Qin Xiao's performance had taken him by surprise.
No.
More accurately, it was highly surprising.
Who on earth has three eyes?
"Could it be that he has already undergone a second awakening of his Martial Soul?"
Not just Long Aotian, other disciples of the Body Sect also noticed something was amiss.
They stared incessantly at Qin Xiao's third eye.
"Hmph, I don't believe you can hurt me," Long Aotian forced himself to calm down.
Words once spoken, like water splashed, cannot be taken back.
Especially in front of so many sect disciples, even if the third eye gave him a sense of fear, he couldn't take back his previous words.
He had to stand tough even if it was like being pushed onto a perch.
At that moment, Qin Xiao's finger no longer covered the third eye on his forehead.
A golden light shot out like an arrow, speeding straight towards Long Aotian.
Others might not see anything special, just a golden light.
But as the one involved, Long Aotian felt as though a divine weapon was flying towards him.
An edge of sharpness sent a chill through his heart.
'That can't be right, normally, the attribute of an eye-based Martial Soul should tilt towards mental attacks...' Long Aotian couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
But words once spoken are like water splashed; having said them, he couldn't take them back.
Even if he sensed danger, his dignity wouldn't allow him to retreat or dodge.
The next moment, an icy touch came from his shoulder, followed by a wave of pain.
He looked down to see that blood was spurting from his shoulder.
Moreover, the wound had pierced through his shoulder.
"Hiss..."
He took a sharp intake of cold air.
Then he looked at Qin Xiao in shock, "Why?"
At this time, Qin Xiao had already closed the Eye of Life and spoke indifferently, "We are not mortal enemies, and it is enough for me to let you know that your defense is nothing before me. There's no need to take your life, right?"
That's right.
At the critical moment, it was Qin Xiao who controlled his spiritual power to change direction, shifting the target from the heart to the shoulder.
Otherwise, Long Aotian, even with his self martial soul and an exceptionally strong body, would have had to lie down to speak with Qin Xiao.
Long Aotian's expression changed upon hearing those words.
Qin Xiao was right; if Qin Xiao could break through his defense, then there was the potential to harm his life.
The fact that he could still stand here meant that Qin Xiao had shown mercy.
"I admit defeat..."
"From today on, whenever I see you in the sect, I will walk around you."
After a series of inner struggles, he still chose to acknowledge his defeat.
As he said this, he left with a mixture of shame and embarrassment.
After Long Aotian left, there was an uproar at the scene.
"Long... he's leaving just like that?"
"Who would have thought Qin Xiao was so strong?"
"If he can break through Long's defense, what rank is his martial soul? Or is it that he has undergone the Golden Level Second Awakening?"
Long Aotian's attitude set the surrounding crowd abuzz.
Only then did they truly realize how valuable the young man personally brought back by the Sect Master was.
This guy was set to be the top youth in the sect from the moment he joined.
Incredibly... awesome.
"That... should we continue with the tour? I am still quite interested in this sect."
Qin Xiao had approached Vina at some point.
"Ah... sure."
Vina came back to her senses.
Her reaction was similar to that of the other sect disciples.
In her heart, she had never imagined that Long Aotian, the leader of the sect's young generation, would ever be defeated.
Even when Qin Xiao had agreed to fight Long Aotian, Vina only thought about how many moves Qin Xiao could withstand before being defeated.
In her wildest dreams, she had not expected Long Aotian to be the one to fall, rather than Qin Xiao.
...
"Hehe, Old Jinpeng, what do you have to say now?"
In a corner unnoticed by others, Poison Not Dead stood shoulder to shoulder with Jinpeng.
"I've felt the strength of this kid's martial soul. It could even break through my Martial Soul Possession, so it's easy as pie for him to break through Long Aotian's defense."
Jinpeng said irritably, "Do you think Long Aotian has become arrogant, or that I can no longer wield a blade? If I cannot defend against it, then it would be abnormal if Long Aotian could."
"Just that..."
He began to hesitate as he was speaking.
"Speak your mind; don't hem and haw..." Poison Not Dead frowned.
"It's just that I feel the decision to pass the position of Young Sect Master directly to Qin Xiao might be a bit... rash," Jinpeng expressed his worries. "Today, Qin Xiao has indeed established some prestige using Long Aotian, but after all, he has joined the sect for too short a time; I fear he might not be accepted by everyone."
Poison Not Dead waved his hand dismissively, "In the face of absolute power, everything is trivial. You see, these people can still see Qin Xiao now, but it won't be long before they can't even catch a glimpse of his back.
Qin Xiao will become an existence at our level with incredible speed. By that time, they can only look up to him... There's nothing they can do but submit."
