Chapter 82: Blue Silver Explosive Killing Array

Shi Quan's two dazzling purple Soul Rings made the pupils of the seven people present constrict, leaving them somewhat dazed.

This was a battle between Spirit Masters, equivalent to a battlefield, and being dazed on a battlefield was undoubtedly the greatest taboo.

The opponents were stunned, but Shi Quan would not be.

The first Soul Ring beneath him lit up immediately, and the Blue Silver King in his hand spread out instantly; in the brief moment the opposite side was dazed, the Blue Silver King had already surrounded the seven of them.

"Snap out of it, all of you! He's just one person, so what if he has a Millennium Soul Ring? Kill him!"

Following the leader's roar, the seven hurriedly regained their senses; five in the front, two in the back, they pressed toward Shi Quan in unison.

Shi Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression unchanged. As the five stepped onto the Blue Silver King, the third Soul Ring beneath him suddenly shone brightly, and the Blue Silver King beneath the five's feet erupted instantly.

Blue Silver Strangling—besides being released through seeds planted by Parasitism, the Blue Silver King itself could also release it.

This was the advantage of a forest environment; the Blue Silver King was hidden among the vegetation, and the five charging forward had not noticed it at all.

They were directly sent flying by the Blue Silver King beneath their feet.

At the same time, Shi Quan's first and second Soul Rings also lit up.

The erupting Blue Silver King spread rapidly, directly enveloping the five who had been knocked into the air. The hardened Blue Silver King, like sawteeth, combined with the terrifying power of the Blue Silver Strangling to constrict and surge upward. The weightless five were either directly pierced by the hard Blue Silver King or had large chunks of flesh torn off by the vines covered in thorny spikes.

This was the combination of Shi Quan's three soul skills, a self-created three-soul-skill fusion technique.

Shi Quan named it the Blue Silver Explosive Killing Array.

The power of Blue Silver Strangling was already comparable to that of a Level 40 Power Attack Soul Ancestor, and when combined with the power of Hardening, the impact it brought was even more astonishing.

The five didn't even have time to react before they were all strangled within the Blue Silver Explosive Killing Array.

Wails echoed through the forest.

The bloody scene left the two in the rear frozen in place, their pale cheeks instantly drained of color.

A deep fear directly engulfed the two.

They even forgot to run away.

Shi Quan's eyes narrowed slightly. The cheeks beneath his silver mask were also somewhat pale.

Although his means of attack were sharp, this was ultimately his first time killing someone.

But if he did not kill them, he would be the one killed.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself; Shi Quan understood this principle clearly.

This group of people lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a blade; while they hunted other Spirit Masters, they should have long been prepared for the outcome of death.

As for the remaining two, Shi Quan did not have a soft heart. While they were dazed for a moment, the Blue Silver King had already engulfed them, and after a brief struggle, they suffocated to death.

"Xiao Quan... you." Shi Jian and Li Meili, having finished absorbing their Soul Rings, rushed over upon hearing the commotion. As soon as they arrived, they saw the bloody scene before them, and their faces instantly turned abnormally pale; Li Meili even turned away and began to retch.

The silver light dimmed and the mask disappeared. Shi Quan turned to look at his parents, "Dad, Mom, they wanted to kill us, that's why I took action."

"We didn't provoke them, why would they want to kill us?" Li Meili could not bear to look anymore and could only tilt her head to ask Shi Quan.

"Mom, in the world of Spirit Masters, besides hatred, there is also profit."

"Do you know the Mysterious Earth Crocodile Turtle that Dad absorbed? It was actually the one we encountered a few days ago. This group of people deliberately drove Spirit Beasts to make other Spirit Master teams encounter them, and then, when the other teams were unprepared, they would launch a sneak attack. Such people deserve to die."

"How could it be like this?" Li Meili's expression was pale.

Shi Jian supported Li Meili and said, "In that case, Xiao Quan did the right thing. By doing this, he is also ridding the people of a scourge."

"Dad, Mom, let's go back," Shi Quan said softly.

No longer looking at the bloody scene behind them, the three walked toward the exit of the Hunting Soul Forest.

Along the way, the three were somewhat silent.

This incident had clearly brought a great shock to Li Meili.

But it was also for the best; the Hunting Soul Forest incident made both of them understand just how cruel and dark the struggles between Spirit Masters could be.

After handing in their Hunting Soul Token, the three successfully left the Hunting Soul Forest.

After resting for a night at the market outside the Hunting Soul Forest, the three set off again.

After a day of rest and mental preparation, Li Meili finally recovered.

In the days that followed, besides guiding his parents in their cultivation, Shi Quan spent the rest of his time teaching them Martial Arts and studying theoretical knowledge.

After more than ten days of travel, Shi Quan finally chose Tianluo City, which was closest to Heaven Dou City.

Upon arriving in Tianluo City, Shi Quan spent a large sum of money to buy his parents a fully equipped courtyard in the city, and Shi Jian and Li Meili settled down in Tianluo City with brand-new identities.

Shi Quan stayed in Tianluo City to accompany his parents for about half a month. Seeing that there were less than ten days left before school started, Shi Quan bid farewell to his parents.

Before saying goodbye, Shi Quan had already arranged everything. He not only left his parents with a large amount of money but also left behind a large number of books on Spirit Theory. He had also planned out their second Soul Rings completely and had already led them through the door of Martial Arts; the rest would depend on their own efforts.

With everything handled properly, after leaving Tianluo City, Shi Quan did not head in the direction of Heaven Dou City.

Instead, he turned and ran toward the south of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Ba La Ke Wang Guo, Soto City!

It was just past noon, and the scorching sun was like fire.

A young figure walked toward the north gate of Soto City.

The figure looked to be in his teens, a boy with no luggage, wearing simple cyan clothing, handsome in appearance, but with a white cloth strip tied over his eyes. He held a long staff in his hand, which made a tapping sound as it hit the ground; this attire clearly marked him as a blind person.

The boy walked into Soto City, holding a wooden staff as he walked through the bustling market, yet he strangely did not bump into anyone, as if the boy could see.

As the boy walked, he whispered to himself, "Tang San and Xiao Wu should still be two days away from Soto City. They set off so early, it looks like they've been traveling slowly and playing along the way. I wonder if that little girl Ning Rongrong has arrived in Soto City yet, and also Zhu Zhuqing..."

This boy was none other than Shi Quan, who had come from afar from Heaven Dou City.

Shi Quan's current appearance was yet another guise, briefly referred to as the Douluo 'Hu Ge'—a young version, of course, the peak of Hu Ge's handsomeness. In a cyan robe, plus the cloth strip over his eyes, it was a direct dream back to Li Xiaoyao.

In order to train the power of his Spirit Sense, ever since Shi Quan left Tianluo City, he had been using his Spirit Sense to explore and find his way along the journey.

The reason Shi Quan came to Soto City was for Tang San—or more accurately, for Tang San's External Spirit Bone Eight Spider Lances.

He planned to join Shrek Academy under a new identity, and then, when the Shrek group went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for souls, he would find a way to snatch the Eight Spider Lances. The Devour ability of the Eight Spider Lances was not only very compatible with the Blue Silver Domain, but also compatible with Shi Quan's Blue Silver King.

In any case, with the Phantom Concealment Mask, neither Tang Hao, nor Tang San or Xiao Wu, would be able to recognize Shi Quan's identity; as long as the plan succeeded, he would not only be able to obtain the Eight Spider Lances, but perhaps even trigger another Plunder Treasure Chest.

No matter how he thought about it, it was a win-win.

Although there were risks, it was absolutely worth a try.

Walking into Soto City, Shi Quan strolled along the way toward the west gate of Soto City.

After Tang San came to Soto City, he also obtained an item, which was the Crystal Board; according to Shi Quan's speculation, snatching Tang San's opportunity would trigger a Plunder Treasure Chest, so if he bought the Crystal Board from Flender first, would that also trigger a Plunder Treasure Chest?

Would it or wouldn't it? Wouldn't he know just by trying?

In the original story, Tang San and Xiao Wu entered Soto City from the west gate, then went to the Mei Gui Jiu Dian, and then to Flender's shop.

Adhering to the principle that it would be a waste not to watch a spectacle, after arriving at the west gate, he followed the main road from the west gate forward, and through the probing of his Spirit Sense, in less than a quarter of an hour, Shi Quan noticed that special building that looked like a huge rose, which was exactly the Mei Gui Jiu Dian.

Tap, tap, tap.

Shi Quan held a wooden stick, tapping the ground as he walked into the Mei Gui Jiu Dian, and came to the counter, "Hello, can you help me open a room? The rose scent here smells very good."

The waiter behind the counter hurriedly stood up, and after seeing the eyes covered by the white cloth strip and the wooden stick in Shi Quan's hand, could not help but shake their head, asking uncertainly: "Hello, our room rate here is ten Gold Soul Coins per day, are you sure?"

"No problem." As he spoke, Shi Quan reached into the inside of his clothes, and turned to take out forty Gold Soul Coins, placing them on the counter.

"Help me book it for four days."

In the original story, Tang San and the other arrived in Soto City two days before the Shrek Academy enrollment; Shi Quan had arrived four days early, and this journey of rushing here had also exhausted him, but fortunately, his Internal Energy recovery speed was fast enough, otherwise he would have had to arrive a few days later as well.

Watching Shi Quan take forty Gold Soul Coins directly from his bosom, the waiter's breathing became a bit hurried, and they hurriedly said respectfully: "No problem, guest, I will handle your check-in right away."

Very quickly, the waiter finished the check-in for Shi Quan.

"This guest, do you need me to take you up?"

"No need, just give me the key; I still have things to do, and will come back later."

"Alright, your room is at Bai Se Chun Zhen on the third floor; if you have any questions, guest, you can call us directly."

Shi Quan took the key handed over by the waiter and turned to walk out of the hotel.

Continuing to stroll along the hotel, Shrek Academy had not yet started, and at this time, Flender's shop should still be open.

Soto City was not small, and with various streets that had no names, it was not easy to find a shop, so Shi Quan could only search according to the descriptions in the original story.

It was only when Tang San and Xiao Wu had strolled from early morning until near noon, when it was time to eat, that they discovered Flender's shop.

The distance was certainly not short.
