Chapter 322: Sixth Soul Skill

~8 min read 1,488 words

"Swish! Swish!"

Almost as soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Shemao Douluo and Qianjun Douluo shot out from the Elder Hall, arriving at the square in an instant, standing near the Pope.

"It is merely a contest for the Guard Captain position; why must the Pope make such a fuss and summon me here?" Qianjun Douluo stood with his hands behind his back.

Qin Jian rolled his eyes silently.

If it were truly as indifferent to him as he claimed, why did he arrive so quickly? He had clearly been waiting all along...

"This wager involves the ownership of the Soul Hunting Team, which is no small matter," Bibi Dong said with a calm expression.

Although she could no longer maintain an imposing image in front of Qin Jian, in front of the public, she remained the most imposing Pope.

Qianjun Douluo seemed to smile slightly and said, "The Pope already holds the supreme command of the Soul Hunting Team; there is little difference in whether the ownership is transferred or not."

"At the very least, with that, there would no longer be a veto power from the Elder Hall over the supreme command."

With a single sentence, Bibi Dong laid bare the greatest conflict currently within the Spirit Hall.

That is, while she seemingly possesses full control and command, there is always an Elder Hall that can veto her at any time.

She does not have many forces that listen entirely to her orders without regard for the Elder Hall.

"The Elder Hall ought to possess such power to prevent the Pope from making mistakes without any checks and balances."

Qianjun Douluo said casually, then glanced at Qin Jian and added, "Besides, I don't believe there is any real need to transfer the ownership today."

The implication was that it was impossible for Qin Jian to win.

Bibi Dong said calmly, "We will have to fight to find out."

She said no more, held her Scepter, and stepped forward a few paces, facing the ranks of the Guard Team below, and announced loudly, "In this contest, the winner will become your Supreme Commander."

In front of these low-ranking subordinates, she naturally would not reveal the details of the wager.

Qin Jian walked down from her side and stood on the open ground in front of everyone.

The sisters Qian Yu and Qian Qian stepped forward simultaneously and stood opposite him.

"The contest begins!"

There was no unnecessary chatter, and the opponents did not utter any inexplicable words of contempt; the contest began directly.

This match, which concerned the power struggle between the Elder Hall and the Pope, was no longer a simple selection of a commander.

Therefore, even if Qian Yu and Qian Qian truly held any contempt, they could not show it during the contest; instead, they would go all out.

"Qin Jian, be careful."

Bibi Dong's soft voice reached his ears, and Qin Jian nodded slightly.

"Hum, hum, hum..."

The next moment, both sides released their martial souls.

The Soul Ring configurations of Qian Yu and Qian Qian were identical: seven soul rings—Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black—pulsed up and down, and the aura of a Soul Saint suddenly enveloped the entire square.

This did not surprise anyone; almost everyone kept their eyes on Qin Jian.

According to what they knew, Qin Jian had just won the championship of the Elite Soul Master Tournament of the entire Dalu two days ago, and his soul power level was still at the Soul King level.

They were also curious why a Soul King would have the confidence to compete with two Soul Saints for the position of Supreme Commander.

"Hum, hum, hum..."

Yellow, Purple, Purple... Black, Black... Black!

The Sixth Soul Ring, a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, appeared strikingly!

When his soul rings fully appeared, it caused a low murmur of commotion as expected.

Like a slight ripple spreading through the crowd, low gasps of surprise broke out in the ranks of the Guard Team that had been standing solemnly.

This was already the result of them trying their best to control themselves.

Qin Jian's soul ring configuration was truly beyond their comprehension.

"A Soul Emperor?!"

Shemao Douluo's brows furrowed imperceptibly: "How old is he? Fourteen? Even if he is a Humanoid Spirit Beast, it shouldn't be this fast..."

A flash of joy crossed Bibi Dong's eyes.

She had originally thought Qin Jian could only win by relying on his special skills, but she had not expected him to have already reached the Soul Emperor level.

This is a major watershed; once a Spirit Master reaches the Soul Emperor level, they are already at a very high standard on the Dalu, the kind capable of carving out a great reputation.

And with the support of Level 60 soul power, it should not be difficult for Qin Jian to face either Qian Yu or Qian Qian alone.

Not to mention he still had a Sixth Soul Skill he had never used before...

Bibi Dong was very expectant.

"Attack!"

Qian Qian gave a cold shout, and the third and fourth soul rings on her body lit up simultaneously; a martial soul Long Bow appeared in her hand, and over a dozen transparent Light Arrows emerged.

A few paces away, Qian Yu performed almost the same action, the only difference being that over a dozen martial soul Arrow appeared around her.

At this moment, Qin Jian, who was staring intently at them, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Because he saw Qian Yu's hand suddenly clench into a fist, release, and clench again!

They did not intend to give him any warm-up time; they went straight for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"This is... not giving Qin Jian time for Ring Fusion?"

Bibi Dong frowned, her right hand gripping the Scepter tightly.

"It seems the Elder Hall has also figured out the soul skills Qin Jian has used, so they are deliberately not giving him a chance to display his full strength..."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Dozens of Arrow shot over, blotting out the sky as the two waved their hands.

"Hum!"

Qin Jian decisively activated his second and sixth soul rings, the Sword of Original Heart weakening the attack while simultaneously boosting his own attributes.

In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black and translucent Sixth Soul Ring on his body suddenly expanded, drawing everyone's gaze.

They all wanted to see what the Sixth Soul Skill Qin Jian had just obtained was...

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Just as the Arrow was about to strike, two Sword Wings, each ten meters long, suddenly unfurled from behind Qin Jian and snapped shut, shielding him.

Countless arrows struck the Sword Wings, producing crisp clashing sounds.

Although the attack launched by the two Soul Saints was extraordinary in momentum and caused ripples to spread across the Sword Wings, it failed to break through the defense.

"Sixth Soul Skill... Extreme Instant Sword Wing!"

The Sixth Soul Skill Qin Jian obtained was quite unique; it was a pair of Sword Wings condensed from countless small Light Swords, integrating offense and defense, making it extremely practical.

Moreover, this soul skill inherited the greatest characteristic of Xiao Wu: flexibility!

The Sword Wings, composed of fierce and peerless Light Swords, possessed both rigidity and flexibility, which was the reason they could block the joint attack of two Soul Saints.

Coupled with the term "Extreme Instant" in its name, the Sixth Soul Skill naturally also possessed the ability of extreme Speed; while the speed was not as fast as Xiao Wu's Teleportation, the restrictions were much smaller, and the consumption of soul power was not high.

It was just that Qin Jian could not fly yet...

Although he had wings, flying was not something that could be done just by flapping them; it required further research through his subsequent soul skills.

"Sister!"

Just as Qin Jian blocked the first wave of the two Soul Saints' outburst, the younger sister Qian Qian let out a cold shout, and the elder sister Qian Yu exchanged a glance with her as if they shared a telepathic connection.

"Whoosh!"

Her martial soul Arrow instantly accelerated, shooting straight toward Qian Qian.

And Qian Qian's Long Bow martial soul also hovered in the air at this moment, waiting for Fusion.

"Swish!"

But also at the very moment the martial soul Arrow was shot, the Sword Wings on Qin Jian's body opened and gave a slight flap...

Others are on holiday for New Year's, but I am adding chapters for New Year's; the author never deserves a vacation, how miserable...

Thanks to book friend 【2222】 for the tip of 1299 coins!

At the same time, thanks to myself for a slip of the hand that tipped away the 100,000 coins that were returned... (I was just testing it, and there was actually no pop-up prompt; I clearly remembered there being one, it infuriates me!)
