Chapter 616: The Little Empress and Auntie Pope

"Xiaotian Douluo, come, let me see what exactly is the confidence you have to clamor against my Spirit Hall..."

Bang!

Qin Jian swung his Silver Dragon Spear out with his right hand and slammed it into the ground; instantly, cracks spread across the entire arena from under his feet, and Flame and Ice emerged from the fissures.

That aura of intermingled cold and heat forced all Spirit Masters below the Soul Saint level to scramble back several steps, only then barely able to resist it.

"Seventh Elder, trouble yourself to test the strength of this Chief Judge," Tang Xiao signaled to the Elder standing on the outermost side.

"Very well."

The Seventh Elder did not say another word, took a large stride forward, and extended his right hand; a massive Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his grasp, and nine Soul Rings pulsed up and down.

"Do not be careless, his strength must have reached the Title Douluo level," Tang Xiao reminded him.

The Seventh Elder nodded, his expression also somewhat solemn.

He had lived for decades and never seen the soul ring configuration on Qin Jian's body; if he truly treated him as an ordinary Spirit Douluo, he would certainly lose his reputation in his later years.

Having finally cultivated to become a Title Douluo, he and his brothers were all prepared to emerge with the Clear Sky Sect and show off their might; if he were to be defeated here, it would truly be a great joke...

"Clear Sky True Body!"

Without any hesitation, the Seventh Elder went straight to full power.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Clear Sky Suppression!"

The Clear Sky Hammer, several people in size, was lifted into the air; the Seventh Elder jumped high and smashed it down with all his might, with the force of Qianjun.

"Initial Heart! Ice Heart!"

A blue gleam lit up faintly from the depths of his eyes, and a red gleam appeared around his body; the bonuses from Qin Jian's two soul skills were directly manifested.

After a long period of analysis, he was already able to utilize every soul skill in the most direct way, thereby saving soul power while simultaneously maximizing the effects of the soul skills.

"Swish!"

The Silver Dragon Spear transformed into a silvery-white spear ray, driving Qin Jian to charge diagonally upward, slamming into the Clear Sky Hammer with a thud.

"Bang!"

The heavy pressure was instantly transmitted throughout his entire body via the Silver Dragon Spear, and Qin Jian's figure was smashed down fiercely.

Only by truly going head-to-head with the Clear Sky Hammer could one realize where the advantage of this Spirit Tool lay.

Open and sweeping, invincible.

"You don't even activate your Spirit Avatar; you underestimate me too much. I will make you regret this!"

The Seventh Elder sneered in his heart, holding the Clear Sky Hammer high, and without the slightest pause, he smashed it directly down toward Qin Jian's figure on the plaza, submerging him.

"Boom!"

The entire plaza was torn apart, and dust and smoke rose as high as three stories.

"Pfft!"

But just as the dust and smoke spread, a figure wielding Sword Wings suddenly rushed out from one side, traced an arc, and once again attacked the Seventh Elder directly with the Silver Dragon Spear.

For short-distance maneuvering in battle, sword control did not have as great a bonus as the Sword Wings.

"Still coming?"

The Seventh Elder gripped the handle of the Clear Sky Hammer, his body rotating in mid-air, bringing the Clear Sky Hammer up from the ground to strike once more at the silvery-white spear ray.

"Just now I was only testing the gap in power between me and a Title Douluo; you still want to smash me? Keep dreaming..."

Having intuitively felt the Seventh Elder's strength, he could now deal with him in the most soul-power-efficient way.

The corners of Qin Jian's mouth curled up, and his figure was suddenly covered in a layer of Nether Shadow.

"Fourth Soul Skill utilization, Nether Endless Penetration!"

The Seventh Elder only felt a blur before his eyes; Qin Jian, along with his silver spear ray, suddenly vanished from beneath the hammer.

He was startled, but before he could make any reaction, the sharp spear ray pierced through from the side!

"Clear Sky..."

He quickly retracted the Clear Sky Hammer, wanting to protect himself, but the silver spear ray struck his body a step faster.

"Thud!"

A sound of an air explosion appeared on his body, and his form was like a kite with a broken string, tracing a straight line across the sky and flying straight down.

But he could not fall to the ground...

"Swish!"

Qin Jian's figure followed his descent, appearing synchronously beneath him, and the spear ray blasted out once more, tossing him back into the sky.

"Clear Sky Protection!"

The Seventh Elder's reaction was not slow; when he realized he could not escape the pursuit, he directly used his protective soul skill.

The Clear Sky Hammer rotated around him like a windmill, protecting him so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Next, the Seventh Elder was like a living target in the air, being stabbed by endless spear rays from every direction, striking the Clear Sky Hammer and colliding to produce sparks.

"Wait for the power of this soul skill of his to be exhausted, then immediately use the Ninth Soul Skill..."

The Seventh Elder stared at Qin Jian's figure through the collision of hammer shadows and spear rays: "In the situation where he hasn't used his Spirit Avatar, his strength is already no weaker than mine; once he uses it, it will be very difficult for me to win..."

"Then I will take advantage of his arrogance and defeat him in one blow!"

He thought it out well, but as time passed, Clear Sky Protection was already struggling to hold on, yet Qin Jian's endless spear rays showed no signs of stopping.

"What kind of soul skill is this? Why is it endless?!"

He was somewhat panicked.

The research time for the Fourth Soul Skill, Nether Extreme Sword, was no less than that for elemental control; Qin Jian had been thinking, why could the Nether Extreme Sword be relentless? Did a more essential reason exist within this?

After a long period of feeling and analysis, he finally realized a combat method unique to Nether power.

Once a strike is launched, as long as the opponent resists, the recoil force generated during the collision can be converted into the next round of attacks; this is the source of the Nether Extreme Sword's relentless characteristic.

It sounds simple, but truly converting it into an attack and making it fully controllable is not easy; at the very least, Qin Jian could not do it when he was a Soul Saint.

It is like a high-level combat technique that can only be used with ease once one's power reaches a certain level.

"Ding, ding, ding..."

In mid-air, it was as if fireworks were blooming in succession.

Clear Sky Protection is not a permanent defense after all; after blocking over a dozen attacks in a row, the shadow of the Clear Sky shattered.

"Shh!"

And at this very moment, the spear radiance, like an arrow leaving the string, landed mercilessly on the Seventh Elder's chest, not giving him the chance to raise the Clear Sky Hammer again, as if a sharp sword had pierced through his body with the spear radiance.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

Silver radiance burst forth through his body, and the Seventh Elder spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Seventh Elder!" "Old Seven!"...

A chorus of exclamations rose from below.

Qin Jian slowly retracted the Silver Dragon Spear in mid-air.

The Seventh Elder fell like a stone, only to be caught in time by the other Elders, and a support Spirit Master immediately stepped forward to provide Healing.

"Shoo!"

In the sky, the Sword Wings behind Qin Jian vanished, and a Light Sword appeared beneath his feet, allowing him to stand steady in the air.

"He won just like that?" someone muttered.

"It seems so..." someone else felt as if they were floating on clouds.

"Even if that Seventh Elder isn't high-ranked among Title Douluo, he still possesses the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul; how could he lose so easily?" someone analyzed the process, finding it completely incomprehensible.

"Auntie Pope, when did Brother Jian advance to a Spirit Douluo? And a high-level Spirit Douluo at that?" Ning Rongrong transmitted her voice to Bibi Dong.

But Bibi Dong did not want to answer her; she only wanted to kill...

Auntie Pope?

"Little Empress, if you call me Auntie, then don't call him Brother Jian..."

Bibi Dong stroked her Scepter and said slowly, "You should call him... Uncle-in-law."
