"What is this Battle Soul?"
The middle-aged woman looked up at the golden beastial silhouette, a hint of doubt in her eyes. But shock was her overwhelming emotion! That golden beast exuded a powerfully oppressive aura!
She glanced down at the Wolf King and asked, "Have you cultivated any battle arts?"
The Wolf King was about to say no, but the woman interjected, "Speak the truth, or I won’t know how to make arrangements for you."
After pondering, the Wolf King honestly responded, "I have cultivated a top-tier slaughter-type battle art."
The woman nodded. "I see. Next."
"Master Fatty first," Fatty declared, stepping forward with a grin. "Boss, haven’t you always wanted to see Master Fatty’s Battle Soul?"
HUM!
Before he could finish, his entire body erupted with black brilliance. Accompanied by a resounding dragon roar, a colossal figure emerged.
It was a dragon! Hundreds of meters long, its body was covered in palm-sized scales. It was pitch black as ink, and its dragon’s power shook in all directions!
"A Black Dragon!" Qin Feiyang’s gaze trembled.
So, this Fatty really had awakened a Dragon Soul! And not just any Dragon Soul, but the extremely rare Black Dragon Soul!
He couldn’t help but look at Lu Hong.
What Battle Soul has this young lady activated?
Seeing Qin Feiyang’s gaze, Lu Hong said, somewhat dejectedly, "I haven’t reached the One-Star War King rank yet, so I can’t summon my Battle Soul."
Qin Feiyang frowned at the news.
"Eh?" The woman looked surprised. She turned to Lu Hong and asked, "If you haven’t reached the War King rank, how can you have a Battle Soul?"
Qin Feiyang sighed and explained, "Madame may not know this, but she had already broken through to the War King rank. However, she was later harmed by a treacherous person and forced to take the Elixir of Misfortune, which completely ruined her cultivation."
"I see." The woman offered some comfort, "But don’t worry. Even if your cultivation is ruined, the Battle Soul still exists. Once your cultivation recovers, you’ll naturally be able to summon it." Then she asked, "What kind of Battle Soul did you awaken?"
"A White Dragon," Lu Hong responded.
"Another Dragon Soul?" The woman looked stunned.
This is too outrageous! Two Dragon Souls, one after another?
Qin Feiyang was also greatly astounded.
Fatty has a Black Dragon Soul. Lu Hong has a White Dragon Soul. And I have a Violet-Gold Dragon Soul. That means our small team now possesses three different Dragon Souls! As long as we continue to grow, what revenge could we not achieve?!
However, Qin Feiyang knew very well that this was due to the First Generation Emperor’s Statue. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Fatty and Lu Hong to awaken Dragon Souls. He himself might have awakened a different kind of Dragon Soul, given the Emperor’s Bloodline Power flowing within him, but it certainly wouldn’t have been the Violet-Gold Dragon Soul. Thus, he felt immense gratitude towards the First Generation Emperor.
"Qin Feiyang, what Battle Soul have you awakened?" The woman’s gaze shifted, and she looked at Qin Feiyang with suspicion.
Fatty chuckled. "Boss’s Battle Souls are incredibly impressive!"
"Was I asking you?" Qin Feiyang glared sharply at him as the Nine-Leaf Flame Lotus and the red battle sword emerged one after another. He didn’t summon the Violet-Gold Dragon Soul, however.
He was still uncertain whether the Land of Oblivion was within the borders of the Great Qin Empire, so he dared not summon it.
Despite this, the woman was extremely shocked.
Double War Spirits! This young man is truly talented!
"What about you?" The middle-aged woman then looked at the Land Beast.
"As for me..." The Land Beast suddenly became somewhat coy and laughed awkwardly. "I don’t have a Battle Soul. Just give me any battle art!"
"You don’t have one?" Everyone was astonished.
This fellow is usually so arrogant! How come he doesn’t even have a Battle Soul?
The woman also paused, then shook her head. "No Battle Soul means you’re not very valuable and not worth training."
The Land Beast faltered, asking doubtfully, "And then?"
The Wolf King sneered, a hint of schadenfreude in its eyes, "Idiot! Not worth training means no battle arts for you. Don’t you even understand this?"
"That’s not right!" The Land Beast panicked and shouted, "I do have a Battle Soul!"
"You do?" Everyone was surprised.
If he has a Battle Soul, why did he say he didn’t earlier?
The middle-aged woman said, "Then hurry up and don’t waste my time."
The Land Beast gritted its teeth, and an earth-yellow light shot up into the sky. Suddenly, a Battle Soul appeared above its head.
Everyone looked up curiously, only to be petrified by the sight.
The Battle Soul was a fang! It was over ten meters long, slender and flat, earth-yellow in color, with a tip that curved upwards on both sides. At first glance, it resembled the edge of a sword.
The Land Beast glanced at Qin Feiyang and the others, saying, "I’m telling you, no laughing!"
"HAHAHA..." If it hadn’t said that, it might have been fine, but its words only made the Wolf King roar with laughter. He’d seen many Battle Souls before, but never one as outlandish as this. No wonder the Land Beast had hesitated so much. Anyone would be embarrassed to summon a Battle Soul like this!
Qin Feiyang, Lu Hong, and the middle-aged woman couldn’t help but smile.
A Battle Soul that’s a fang truly is a wonder of the world.
The Land Beast, fuming from embarrassment, roared, "I said no laughing! Shut up, shut up!"
"Oh, come on now!" Brother Wolf cackled. "It’s just an unconventional Battle Soul; we won’t look down on you. After all, you’re unconventional yourself. An oddball matched with an oddball, hehehe, a perfect match!"
"You Rogue Wolf, I’ll fight you!" The Land Beast’s eyes turned red with anger. The fang Battle Soul in the void trembled and shot towards the Wolf King to suppress it!
The Wolf King’s eyes flashed with ferocity. "Let me see just how impressive your bizarre Battle Soul is!" Its body instantly expanded. After breaking through to the Eight-Star War King rank, its body had grown by another meter, reaching over eight meters tall, like a giant!
BOOM!
Its paw lashed out fiercely, crashing against the fang. The fang Battle Soul was immediately sent flying.
Seeing this, both Qin Feiyang’s and the middle-aged woman’s pupils contracted, a clear shock visible in their eyes. However, their surprise wasn’t directed at the Wolf King’s strength, but at the hardness of the fang Battle Soul!
One had to remember: the Wolf King was currently an Eight-Star War King, while the Land Beast was merely a Four-Star War King. A full-powered strike from the Wolf King should have been more than enough to shatter the Land Beast’s Battle Soul with a single swipe. Yet, at that moment, the fang Battle Soul was completely unscathed!
"How is that possible!" Suddenly, the Wolf King’s shocked cry echoed.
Everyone turned to look at it and saw its paw was mangled, flesh torn and blood gushing out!
What! The fang Battle Soul had actually pierced the Wolf King’s defense?
At this moment, nobody could laugh. Though it looked somewhat comical, its power was terrifyingly potent.
Qin Feiyang frowned.
Why hide such a strong Battle Soul? Just because it’s afraid of being ridiculed?
The Land Beast offered a sheepish smile.
"Alright, I give up," Qin Feiyang said, somewhat helplessly.
The Wolf King abruptly jumped up, angrily shouting, "I’m not convinced, little underling! If you have the guts, fight me!"
"No," the Land Beast resolutely shook its head, huffing coldly. "A gentleman acts according to principle. This king does not accept such a meaningless battle."
Qin Feiyang’s face twitched.
A gentleman again?
He shouted, "Enough! Both of you, quiet down!"
What a pair of characters.
He turned to face the middle-aged woman. "Madam, when will you be giving us the battle arts?"
Upon hearing "battle arts," the Wolf King and the Land Beast’s eyes lit up, and they looked at the middle-aged woman with anticipation.
The middle-aged woman glanced at them, then lowered her head to ponder for a moment. Suddenly, she waved her hand, and six jade slips appeared out of thin air.
That straightforward?
Qin Feiyang and the others exchanged glances. They had thought this woman would set some conditions or pose some difficult challenge, yet, to their surprise, she produced them without another word.
"This is for you." With a wave of her hand, a jade slip flew towards the Wolf King, hovering before it.
The Wolf King immediately immersed its consciousness into the jade slip, exclaiming in delight, "A perfect auxiliary Battle Art!"
Then, the middle-aged woman waved her hand again, and two jade slips flew towards Fatty and Lu Hong respectively.
"A perfect Killing Battle Art!" Both of them were also ecstatic.
"Quick, quick! Give it to this king!" The Land Beast, after glancing at Fatty, Lu Hong, and the Wolf King, turned to the middle-aged woman, urging impatiently.
SWOOSH!
A jade slip flew before it.
"A perfect Killing Battle Art! This king finally has a perfect Battle Art too!" The Land Beast inspected it and was immediately so excited it started hopping and bouncing around.
Meanwhile, two jade slips remained before the middle-aged woman.
Qin Feiyang stared at the two jade slips, his eyes brimming with desire.
"These two jade slips contain an auxiliary Battle Art and a Sword Art. Including the Return-to-the-Ruin Art you possess, I will give you three battle arts," the middle-aged woman said. With a wave of her hand, the two jade slips flew towards Qin Feiyang.
What? Three battle arts!
Fatty and the others were dumbfounded.
Qin Feiyang was also stunned, taking a long moment to recover.
The middle-aged woman’s lips curved into a playful smile. "What? Not satisfied?"
Startled, Qin Feiyang quickly nodded. "Satisfied! Very satisfied!" As he spoke, he snatched the two jade slips.
This is no joke; these are perfect battle arts! They can’t even be found in the entire Spirit State. If I hadn’t met this woman, I probably wouldn’t have found even one, let alone three.
Fatty and the others looked on with envy, silently lamenting the unfairness.
Why does Qin Feiyang get three while we only get one?
But they didn’t dare voice their dissatisfaction. If they angered this woman and she took everything back, the loss would be too great.
"These jade slips can only be used once. They will automatically crumble after you have thoroughly comprehended them," the middle-aged woman stated. "However, before you begin, Qin Feiyang, you need to refine some Battle Intent Pills for me. They must have two Elixir Patterns."
Qin Feiyang, who was about to examine the jade slips, couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this.
"What? You can’t do it?" The middle-aged woman raised an eyebrow.
"I can definitely do it," Qin Feiyang replied. "However, I need Third Grade Alchemy Fire to refine pills with two Elixir Patterns, and my current Alchemy Fire is only second grade."
The middle-aged woman asked, "Then how did you refine the healing pill you gave me?"
"To be honest," Qin Feiyang said helplessly, "I used to possess a Third Grade Alchemy Fire, but I encountered a powerful enemy recently, and it was unfortunately stolen."
He couldn’t possibly tell her he wasn’t from the Land of Oblivion, could he? So, he had to make up an excuse.
"What did you say?" The middle-aged woman was诧异. "Someone was able to steal Alchemy Fire from you?"
Qin Feiyang laughed awkwardly. "Even the best horse stumbles sometimes, doesn’t it?"
"Then you’d better figure something out quickly!" With that, the middle-aged woman flew towards the main hall.
Suddenly, she stopped in mid-air, looked down at Qin Feiyang, and asked, "When you ransacked the Trading Pavilion’s storeroom, did you see an iron box in the alchemy room where the old Family Head kept his Alchemy Fire?"
"Hm?" Qin Feiyang was inwardly alarmed.
The iron box belongs to this woman? I absolutely cannot give it to her.
Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I didn’t go to his alchemy room, so I didn’t see it."
"Is that so?" the middle-aged woman asked, a mysterious glint shimmering deep within her eyes.
"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded, then guessed aloud, "Perhaps it was buried under the rubble. Should I have the Land Beast dig underground to look for it?"
"No need. It wasn’t anything particularly valuable. If it’s gone, it’s gone." Having said that, the middle-aged woman turned and soared through the air, disappearing into the main hall.
