Chapter 21: A Dangerous Conversation
Bang! Inside the Pope's Palace, a priceless jade teacup was smashed to pieces.
"How ridiculous! Who the hell is Qin Xuan? With only 5 Soul rings, he dares to call me a brother. He is courting his own destruction."
After another round of smashing, Qian Xunji felt much better, knowing that Qin Xuan was about to be sent to Slaughter City.
One of the personal guards said, "Your Holiness, it seems that the boy is valued by the High Priest more than we imagined."
"Humph, he's just a dying man. Why bother with him? As for the Soul bone, when I become the leader of the world, I will just ask the King of Slaughter to send someone to deliver it to me," Qian Xunji interrupted with a cold snort. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back, his face indifferent.
The conflict between Qin Xuan and Qian Xunji originated from Bibi Dong. Before this, Qian Xunji, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, was very optimistic about this rising star. But Qin Xuan had tried to get his hands on Qian Xunji's possessions.
The two personal guards looked at each other and flattered him knowingly, "Your Holiness is wise."
"Yeah," Qian Xunji enjoyed the feeling of being complimented. He nodded comfortably and suddenly asked, "How is the Saint Lady doing?"
Another personal guard replied, "Her Royal Highness the Saint has unprecedented talent and is much more talented than Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect. Now her Soul power has reached level 68. I believe that within 2 years, she will be able to break through to Soul Saint. But..."
"Just what?" Qian Xunji turned around suddenly, half of his face covered in shadow, looking extremely gloomy.
"During this period, Her Highness the Saint seems to have had too much contact with an administrator in the library," the guard said hesitantly.
"Librarian?" Qian Xunji was puzzled. The guardian of the Spirit Hall's library must have a high level of cultivation. He is a Soul Douluo. However, the librarians are all low-level Soul Masters with poor talents; in other words, they are trash. How could Bibi Dong, his talented disciple who even looked down upon Qin Xuan, have such close contact with a loser?
"That person seems to have another identity. He used to be a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the second son of the current patriarch, Yu Yuanzhen. It seems that because of a Martial Soul mutation, his innate Soul power is only half a level, and he was expelled from the family," the guard added.
When Qian Xunji heard this, he was immediately amused. "Oh, so it's that waste with the Martial Spirit of a pig."
As the number one Soul Master organization in Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall often needs to pay attention to other forces to ensure its transcendent status. Once a Soul Master who can threaten the Spirit Hall appears, the Elder's Hall will take action. But generally speaking, the existence of the Spirit Hall has more advantages than disadvantages, and it has greatly restrained the criminal behavior of Soul Masters.
This forces people like Zhao Wou-Ki, who disregard the lives of civilians, to hide from place to place after committing crimes and dare not show up again. The threat of evil Soul Masters has been completely eliminated from the root. It wasn't until Tang San destroyed Slaughter City and wiped out the Spirit Hall that the sect was revived.
As one of the top three sects and the third-ranked sect in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect naturally receives great attention from the Spirit Hall. Among the younger generation, there are only two types of people who can attract Qian Xunji's attention: geniuses like Tang Xiao and Tang Hao who became famous on the mainland, and waste. And it's not just ordinary waste. It has to be waste of the worst quality, like Yu Xiaogang.
He was born into a noble family. His father was a Titled Douluo. He was doted on by everyone before the age of 6. After the age of 6, his Martial Soul mutated, his innate Soul power decreased, and he awakened into a pig. But he was restless and liked to jump around. In a sense, Yu Xiaogang's fame in the highest-level circle of the Soul world, the Three Great Sects and the Spirit Hall, can be considered an alternative form of fame. It's hard not to attract attention.
"Your Holiness, do you want me to..." The guard who once proposed to kill Qin Xuan made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Qian Xunji disagreed. "No need. The Saint is naturally proud; she won't fall for that kind of trash. But if he dares to try to eat swan meat, then I don't mind letting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan have one more corpse."
"From now on, arrange for two Soul Douluos to monitor her secretly at all times. I don't want something like Qin Xuan to happen again."
"Level 59."
In the magnificent and sealed room, accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, Qin Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up. The surging fiery red Soul power was restrained within a one-meter range around his body, then gathered, and finally transformed into a Vermilion Bird, flying around Qin Xuan's head. Faintly, one could see a strange red sword inside the Vermilion Bird's body.
Qin Xuan stretched out his hand, and the Vermilion Bird retracted. The Everbright Sword, wrapped in terrifying high temperature and red thunder, circled in the air and returned to his hand.
"Name: Qin Xuan"
"Age: 19"
"Martial Soul: Everbright Sword"
"Cultivation: Level 59"
"Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black"
"Physical Level: Soul Emperor"
"Spiritual Power Level: Contra"
"Soul Bone: The Wisdom Skull of Spiritual Condensation"
"Talent: SS+"
"Self-Created Soul Skills: Zongheng Sword Technique, Guigu Breathing Technique"
"Emotional Value: 77,992"
"Blind Box: None"
"My Soul power has increased by 5 levels. My physique is Soul Emperor, and my mental strength is Contra. After absorbing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Wisdom Skull, the degree of improvement is lower than I expected."
"And this talent, the gap between the top twin Martial Spirits and a single Martial Spirit is really ridiculous. I have taken the immortal grass and practiced the Ghost Valley Breathing Technique, but I still can't reach Bibi Dong's SSS level."
Qin Xuan held the sword in his left hand and flipped through the system panel with his right hand, looking disgusted and feeling a bit envious. Compared to that little punk, who is in his forties and after absorbing this Wisdom Skull, his mental power reaches the level of Contra.
At level 50, he obtained the Blue Silver Emperor's natal Soul Ring, which was 25,000 years old. This meant that at level 50, he already had a physique no less than that of a Soul Emperor. Although the beggar had taken the magical herb Longing for the Autumn Water Dew beforehand. Although he had been practicing the Purple Demon Eyes, which could enhance his mental power, since he was 2 years old. Although he had an ice and fire alchemy body. Although he had a Soul bone attached to the Eight Spider Lances.
Qin Xuan admitted that he felt a little jealous. Compared to him, his improvement was nothing. Only at level 59 of Soul power could I be on par with him in terms of physique and mental strength. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire cannot be obtained for the time being.
