Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 71 Why can't Soul Skills be used?
Jiu Shen's third soul skill was directly cleaved open, creating a spatial rift in the sky.

!!!

"This first soul skill is so powerful."

Everyone was shocked, but the first soul skill directly cleaved through space.

Xia Die looked at the stunned crowd, and with a wave of her hand, the spatial rift that had been cut open was swept away by butterflies, instantly restoring it to its original state.

"I forgot to mention, my first soul skill, 'Nether Sea Flower - Bestowing Extreme Rift,' is powerful enough to cleave space. There's no need to be so surprised. Now, you are about to welcome the grand gathering of the Grim Reaper."

The figure of Xia Die appeared behind Kitagawa Yuki in an instant, without using the power of the scythe, but simply with a light palm strike from her left hand.

"what!"

With a light blow, it flew backwards towards Zhong Jiutian, but fortunately, Zhong Jiutian caught it.

"Thank you, Jiutian."

Zhong Jiutian is someone who always wears a white robe and is very aloof. His martial soul is a giant rock spear, which is even taller than their captain Luo Kexing's spear. It is a spear with earth element and he is a very talented person.

"You're welcome. Be careful, these sisters are very suppressive. I can feel my martial spirit being clearly suppressed. Be careful of the butterflies around you, their power comes from her."

But suddenly, Xia Die's third soul ring lit up, and the butterflies around her suddenly began to flutter endlessly, a purple light enveloping the entire arena.

But it disappeared a second later, as if nothing had happened.

But a strange thing happened: they couldn't unleash their soul skills.

"What's going on? Why can't I use my soul skills?"

"Captain, it must have been Xia Die's third soul skill that made the move."

That's right, it's Xia Die's third soul skill, Silence - The Gentle Touch of the Ghostly Butterfly. It's a soul skill that can be used on a group or against a single target. It's a blade formed from the power of death. After the attack, many ghostly butterflies will fly out, and anyone within three meters of the butterflies will have their soul skill sealed by 60%. Now it's 100%, and the attack power is enhanced during this time. Every time any soul skill is used, it's stronger than the last time.

In other words, their soul skills are now completely sealed.

Feeling the gazes focused on them, the others were equally bewildered.

They knew very well that the release of the soul skill was not canceled, but was forcibly interrupted by an unknown force!
Except for Shan Shui, who was trapped inside with Ma Rulong, everyone else's soul skills were sealed.

Not only that, but other soul skills were also blocked and could not be used at all!

It's important to know that battles between Soul Masters rely heavily on Soul Skills!

A Soul Master without Soul Skills is nothing more than a useless person with Soul Power but no Soul Skills!

On the imperial city wall.

Xu Jiawei looked at Xia Die, unaware of the results of the investigation, but he knew that she was not from the Sun Moon Empire, but rather a relocated resident of the Star Luo Empire.

He didn't understand why he had to go to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Jiawei whispered something into Xu Jiujiu's ear.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will try to find out why I left after this is over."

"it is good."

Xu Jiawei wanted Xu Jiujiu to get to know Xia Die and see what kind of experience she had.

It can render a person unable to use their soul skills, leaving only an empty shell of their martial soul, which is equivalent to crippling a person.

If this were on the battlefield, it would be an extremely terrifying skill. A hint of killing intent towards Xia Die arose in his eyes, but he immediately withdrew it, given the current situation.

Almost no one could kill her under the watchful eyes of those powerful figures in the Sun Moon Empire; the best approach would be to win her over.

The Shrek Academy students also looked grim. They had seen all sorts of soul skills, but this was the first time they had ever seen a soul skill that could restrict human beings.

Is that so? Then there's the point. Of course, it's ineffective against Soul Masters, because whether or not they use Soul Skills is irrelevant; it's only used for auxiliary effects.

Those who are bound by the Soul-Binding Technique can only use their Martial Soul to block it, but it's pointless.

Now is the time for Di Qiu'er's rampage.

The incredibly powerful Golden Dragon King sent Luo Kexing flying with a single blow, crashing into the outer protective barrier along with Wan Hongqian before tumbling off the stage.

The remaining people, lacking soul skills and possessing only empty martial soul shells, were naturally no match for the Sun Moon Royal Family.

Finally, after Ma Rulong deactivated the spatial soul tool, he was completely dumbfounded to find himself alone in the arena.

what?
How come I'm the only one left?

Seeing that all seven of them were present, he realized he was no match for them.

He surrendered immediately, saying, "Referee, we concede."

"The victor is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

…………

They all stepped down from the viewing platform. They knew Xia Die's third soul skill all too well. Ma Rulong and the other seniors were the first to experience it. Finally, someone else shared the same feeling as them.

"Ah Die, your soul skill is as lacking as ever."

"That's all too, it's of no use to you soul masters anyway."

"Yes."

As they prepared to return to their hotel, a woman blocked their path. She possessed a face as white as snow, with a faint pinkish glow, as delicate and alluring as a peach blossom in spring. Her long, golden hair shone brightly like sunlight. However, it paled in comparison to Xia Die's hair. Her features were exquisitely beautiful; her willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly arched, exuding a touch of heroism; her nose was straight and gracefully shaped; her lips were a deep red, like delicate rose petals, and a faint smile always played at the corners of her mouth, giving her a warm and approachable air.

She appeared to be eighteen years old, with a pair of bright, azure eyes, like a deep ocean, radiating a faint golden glow. A close look revealed their vastness, as if they could see through everything, yet also seemed to hold endless mystery and gentleness. Tall and well-proportioned, with perfect proportions, her long, slender legs were straight and supple. Wearing a purple dress, she looked exceptionally beautiful.

"You are……"

"You are the princess standing atop Xingluo City."

Ma Rulong seemed to remember hearing Teacher Yu mention those people on the city wall, and he had also seen what she looked like.

Xu Jiujiu, the youngest princess of the Star Luo Empire.

"Your Highness, what is it?" Ma Rulong said in a deep voice.

Xu Jiujiu bowed slightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you at this time, Sun Moon Royal Academy. Please allow me to speak with Xia Die alone. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Xia Die.

"me?"

Then, looking at Xu Jiujiu calmly, he said, "You all go back first. In this Star Luo Imperial City, no one dares to attack us. I'll just have a chat with Her Highness the Princess and then go back in a bit."

"Okay, Ah Die, then be careful."

Xiadie: …………

She should warn those protecting her to be careful; if a fight breaks out, it's uncertain who will hit whom.

We arrived at a teahouse.

Xia Die looked at Xu Jiujiu across from her and said, "I wonder what advice Your Highness has for me? I think it's not as simple as just having tea here."

I gazed at this beautiful butterfly for a long time. Although she was a few years younger than me, her beauty was unmatched in this competition.

She has a better figure and looks than me.

“That is indeed the case. There’s no need to be so formal. You don’t need to call me Your Highness. If you’re comfortable with me, just call me Jiu Jiu. I’m only speaking on my own behalf in my personal capacity.”

Is it a private identity?
Xia Die didn't believe Xu Jiujiu's words at all.

Xia Die's expression remained unchanged; she simply stared silently for a long time.

The atmosphere remained unchanged, which made Xu Jiujiu feel quite awkward.

After a long pause, we got straight to the point.

“Miss Xia Die, you are not from the Sun Moon Empire, are you?”

Xia Die simply took a sip of tea and said, "Princess Jiu Jiu, is this question important?"
There have been many people who have moved into the Sun Moon Empire in the past. I don't believe you don't know that. Almost all three major empires, including Star Luo, Dou Ling, and Tian Hun, have had people move there.

I know you've investigated me, and I think you know quite a bit, but only bits and pieces. I used to be from the Star Luo Empire, but for me, that place wasn't all that wonderful.

He gazed at Xia Die's face for a long time. Although she appeared gentle, she was indifferent to the city. It was very likely that the bad treatment she received from her former home in the Star Luo Empire had led her to decide to leave the Star Luo Empire.

Those who left the Star Luo Empire were all people who couldn't survive due to family oppression...

Xia Die is likely someone who has been oppressed by her family.

"Then, Miss Xiadie, may I ask what made you decide to leave this city?"

Given the talent that Xia Die and her sister have shown, I really don't want such a good genius to leave.

Both can greatly suppress beast spirits and weapon spirits, and can also disable human spirit skills.

I wonder which "cutie" sent Xia Die to the Sun Moon Empire. If I find out which "cutie" it was, I'll definitely teach that "cutie" a lesson.

Those who directly force others to aid the enemy—it's too lenient not to execute their entire family.

It seems you can't even exterminate nine generations of a family, let alone three.

"Whether it's far away or right in front of you, Princess Jiujiu, don't start with the name Xia Die. Instead, try investigating someone else, like someone surnamed Huo. You might find some useful information there. By the way, let me remind you, starting with Yun is like raising a tiger to cause trouble; you'll suffer the consequences."

After listening to this for a long time, he said, "You are Duke White Tiger..."

Before Xu Jiujiu could finish speaking, Xia Die interrupted her. She simply walked silently to Xu Jiujiu's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xu Jiujiu stared at Xia Die in shock.

Xia Die said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I will be leaving now."

For a long time, no one stopped them, and no one knew what they had said.

After the butterfly had completely disappeared, it took a long time for things to return to normal.

"Brother, you may come out now."

Xu Jiawei stepped out from behind the screen.

"So, Jiu Jiu, what's your opinion?"

Xu Jiujiu shook his head and said, "It's not good. It's unlikely that she can return to Xingluo. She harbors a grudge against us."

Xu Jiawei was also very troubled. What a talented person he was, why did he fall into such a predicament?

“Your Majesty, we need to reinvestigate. Let me handle it. Our direction is a bit off, and we've overlooked some things.”
