Chapter 45: Two Sun Qis?
"Fatty, are you going out to relieve yourself again?"
Oscar teased Ma Hongjun, who had just returned from the village.
Ma Hongjun snorted, saying Oscar was just jealous that he had a girlfriend.
Sun Qi shook his head and offered Ma Hongjun some advice.
"Fatty, your Evil Fire isn't necessarily a flaw in your Spirit; it could be an advantage. Going out to relieve yourself every day is just leaking out your excess energy."
"Sun Qi, you're being easygoing. I really can't handle this Evil Fire once it starts coming on," Ma Hongjun said with a bitter face.
Although he was saying Sun Qi was being easygoing, his expression didn't match his words, because he knew how ruthless Sun Qi was. He'd gone to such lengths to skip levels and absorb the second ring, it was truly horrible.
The key was that this guy had truly made it through.
Just thinking of Sun Qi's appearance at that moment, as if he had crawled out of hell, made Ma Hongjun's heart tremble.
Too cruel.
"Your Evil Fire is excess energy. It fills you with energy and strength, making it perfect for exercise. To put it bluntly, it's just laziness."
Sun Qi didn't argue with Ma Hongjun after this.
He simply suggested that Ma Hongjun intensify his training to cope with the outbreak of Evil Fire. Whether or not he wanted to try, or whether he would, was none of Sun Qi's business.
...
Soto City.
Eye Sun Qi looked at his uncle helplessly, repeatedly explaining.
"Uncle, I really didn't go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena to fight. Didn't you say so? His Spirit is an iron rod with two Golden Cudgels on each end, and mine is an Eye. How could we be the same person?"
Because of his encounter with Zhao Wuji, Golden Cudgel Sun Qi didn't reunite with Eye Sun Qi and didn't seek his help, so there was no question of collusion between the two.
However, as Golden Cudgel Sun Qi rose to prominence in the Great Soul Fighting Arena, racking up a hundred consecutive victories as a ten-year-old Great Soul Master, he attracted increasing attention, including members of Eye Sun Qi's gang and his uncle.
Lin Tian said helplessly, "But he looks so much like you, and you're the same age. I personally watched one of his fighting Souls, and I could see the shadow of your mother in his brow. If your mother hadn't never left Soto City, I would have suspected he was your exiled brother."
Sun Qi's mouth twitched.
He would undoubtedly face this kind of question many times.
Seven selves, with too many similarities in appearance.
Appearance reflects the mind, that's undeniable. Sun Qi's seven selves are all dominated by a single consciousness, and therefore look very similar.
Of course, their similarities only appear between birth and six years old due to the influence of their Souls; in reality, there are still differences.
Especially with the awakening of Spirits and the addition of Soul Rings, the changes in appearance no longer overlap.
Even so, their similarities, combined with their names and ages, would definitely arouse suspicion.
Strength, however, could dispel any doubts.
So far, the seven haven't gathered together. Even if they were suspected, it would be like what happened to Eye Sun Qi now: he was questioned by his uncle and then dismissed as a joke.
At most, two Sun Qis appearing simultaneously to some would be acceptable.
Once all seven Sun Qis are renowned, they won't need to hide.
First, by then, all seven Sun Qis will surely be at least Great Soul Masters, and most likely Soul Elders.
In the original novel, the Shrek Seven Devils used their Master's Seven-in-One Fusion Technique to elevate Tang San, the main force, to at least the level of Soul Sage. By forcibly infusing him with Soul Power and unleashing the Clear Sky Hammer's Spirit form, Sun Qi would be even stronger, possessing perfect control of his power.
The difference between the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and the Seven-in-One Spirit Fusion Technique is a world of difference.
Sun Qi estimates himself to be at least a Soul Sage with full control, perhaps even reaching Soul Douluo levels with a more extreme power boost.
With this base strength, coupled with his almighty Great Sage form, the fusion of his seven Spirits, leaping to a higher level would be no problem.
Calculating this way, he only needs all his members to be above the fourth ring, and he won't have to worry about his identity.
Of course, unless his seven original bodies are always together, there will always be weaknesses, so he still has to be low-key.
"If you hadn't practiced stick techniques, you would definitely not be able to use such a pleasing stick technique as his. I really suspect that he is you in disguise." Lin Tian joked.
Sun Qi smirked.
Uncle, you are so good at guessing people.
"By the way, when will your Eye Spirit become effective in combat?" Lin Tian said: "Although, as you said, the spiritual attribute is very strong, and the quality is getting higher and higher during your practice, but there is always a limit, right? After all, the Spirit is bound to the original body and is also limited by the original body."
The human body has limits.
At least this limit is lower than that of Soul Beasts, and it can't catch up with divine weapons.
"If there is a limit, then break it!" Sun Qi said, "Uncle, you are right. My Spirit will indeed approach a limit as I cultivate. Even my Soul Power may be limited by my Spirit at that time and unable to continue to improve. After all, the ties here are too deep and they affect each other. This can be considered a mixed bag of advantages and disadvantages."
"But if there are limits, break them instead of being intimidated."
Lin Tian looked at his nephew's energetic appearance and couldn't help but nod.
"That makes sense."
"So, uncle, I plan to start from now on to lay the foundation for my Spirit to break through the limits in the future."
Lin Tian was a little confused after hearing what Sun Qi said.
"How to lay the foundation?"
"Absorb Soul Rings of higher levels!" Sun Qi stared at Lin Tian with a firm look, and said, "I plan to absorb Soul Rings of higher levels."
Lin Tian's face changed slightly.
He looked at Sun Qi and said, "You are asking for death."
Sun Qi, however, used the example of Golden Cudgel Sun Qi that Lin Tian had just mentioned, and said, "Sun Qi, the one with the Golden Cudgel Spirit in the Great Fighting Soul Arena, was able to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring at the second ring, proving that absorbing Soul Rings of higher levels is feasible."
"Since we want to break the limits, we must start from all aspects. Only in this way can we stimulate the Spirit."
Lin Tian's expression shifted.
"I'll find time to go to Shrek Academy and ask Sun Qi, the one with the Golden Cudgel Spirit, and try to get some information for you."
He looked at Sun Qi sternly, warning, "If I can't get any tips, just keep absorbing normal Soul Rings for me."
He couldn't let Sun Qi take any risks without any assurance.
This was the only bloodline left by his sister.
"Okay," Sun Qi said decisively.
Lin Tian's expression softened considerably.
"I'll find out Sun Qi's origins of the Golden Cudgel as soon as possible."
With that, he turned and left.
Sun Qi watched Lin Tian's disappearing figure and smiled helplessly.
"That's good. With a successful case, it'll be easier to convince my uncle."
"It's just that Cloud's body is harder to convince. We still haven't gotten Shui Bing'er and the others' approval."
Two rings for a thousand years—that's a real risk, and generally wouldn't be allowed.
Either you can reason with the adults at home.
Or, your death wouldn't be a big loss for them.
