Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 33 Battle against the Soul King

But soon, Ye Jingqiu understood what Qian Daoliu meant.

The training ground was unusually lively today. Besides her, Qian Daoliu, and the guards responsible for escorting her, there were also five people she was familiar with.

Five Soul Masters ambushed her and Lu Si'en on her way back to the Spirit Hall Academy from the Papal Palace.

Qian Daoliu's face was cold. "The five of them consist of one support-type Soul Master, four attack-type Soul Masters, the lowest level being a level 53 Battle Soul King, and the highest level being a level 68 Battle Soul Emperor. I want you to defeat all five of them in two years."

He paused, then his gaze fell on the five of them. "You five may cultivate together for the next two years. If the Holy Maiden fails to defeat you within two years, I may let you leave."

The five people were stunned and looked at Ye Jingqiu in disbelief.

She...she is actually the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. So what does it mean to take on this job for a few gold soul coins?

Are they just unlucky?

Ye Jingqiu lowered her head. She understood Qian Daoliu's meaning. "I understand."

"Then, let's start with him today." Qian Daoliu casually pointed to the Soul Master on the far right. "Take the rest of you away."

"Yes—" The guards were quick and took the four away, leaving only the three of them in the training ground.

The man who remained had shifty eyes, his pupils darting around as if he were thinking something, all of which Qian Daoliu observed.

You can only use four soul skills.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man kneeling on the ground stood up, looked at Ye Jingqiu, and said, "Holy Maiden, I apologize for my rudeness. My name is Wang Peng, a level 56 Power Attack Battle Soul King. Please give me your guidance."

After he finished speaking, transparent wings appeared behind the man. Ye Jingqiu recognized him as the Soul King who had been chasing him and Lu Si'en.

A month or two ago, he even tried to take her life, so Ye Jingqiu naturally wouldn't be merciful to this man.

Wang Peng's five spirit rings appeared along with his martial spirit: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black.

At the same time, Ye Jingqiu released her martial spirit, and the Soul-Capturing Bell appeared in her palm. The silver bell had a golden chain on it, and a golden pattern was also engraved on the silver bell.

Three vertical lines appeared on the Soul-Capturing Bell, one yellow and the other two purple.

When Ye Jingqiu absorbed the second spirit ring, she realized that the thread was the same color as her spirit ring.

Wang Peng's first soul skill lit up instantly, clearly indicating that his flight speed had increased.

Without any hesitation, Ye Jingqiu unleashed her first soul skill, Bell-Capturing Impact. Wang Peng's speed slowed down again, but she knew that no matter what, Wang Peng was a Soul King, and she absolutely could not underestimate him.

Ye Jingqiu's second soul ring lit up, and a demonic sound pierced the ears.

At the same time, Wang Peng's third spirit ring lit up, and countless spikes suddenly appeared on his transparent wings. The target of these spikes was very clear: Ye Jingqiu.

But as he controlled the spikes, preparing to stab Ye Jingqiu, he suddenly felt dizzy, and Ye Jingqiu on the ground appeared as a double image for a moment.

He shook his head to steady himself and then controlled the spikes to stab towards Ye Jingqiu.

She stood still, not in a hurry to dodge. There were quite a few spikes, at least thirty or more, but she showed no sign of panic.

As the spikes hurtled toward Ye Jingqiu, miraculously, there seemed to be a transparent protective shield around her. Although the spikes grazed her hair and fell, they did not harm her in the slightest.

Qian Daoliu slowly lowered his raised hand, his eyes slightly raised, and gave Ye Jingqiu an appreciative look.

Wang Peng, suspended in mid-air, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

But this time Ye Jingqiu was not going to be so passive. Her third soul ring lit up, and three small black snakes instantly slithered out from her Soul-Capturing Bell.

Their only target was Wang Peng in the sky.

Wang Peng didn't take it to heart. He had seen Ye Jingqiu use this soul skill when they were besieging her. It was useless; it only temporarily restricted a person's movements. When they were assassinating Ye Jingqiu, the information they received was that they were assassinating a control-type soul master.

Although control-type Soul Masters are strong, the gap in their Soul Power is still too great. He is just a three-ring Soul Master, so what kind of trouble can he cause?

If this man hadn't come that day, they would have succeeded then and there, and Ye Jingqiu would probably be buried by now.

Wang Peng did not struggle, intending to wait for the effect of the soul skill to wear off before killing the opponent in one fell swoop. After all, no matter how powerful a control-type soul master is, their soul skills are all time-limited.

By the time Wang Peng realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Two of the three small black snakes slithered up his arm, and one of them even burrowed directly into his head.

Instantly, he felt a tearing pain in his head.

When he realized something was wrong and tried to struggle, he found that he couldn't move at all.

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu's lips curled slightly. Wang Peng was still too naive. If she guessed correctly, the Three Snake Formation was facing that level 68 Soul Emperor that day.

The gap between level 56 and level 68 is still too large. Moreover, Wang Peng's martial soul is not top-tier. She cannot control the three snakes to attack the Soul Emperor, but that does not mean she cannot attack Wang Peng.

Wang Peng clearly felt his head and both arms starting to go numb. "It's poisonous..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his soul power begin to drain away rapidly.

one percent.

Five percent.

ten percent.

Wang Peng stared wide-eyed at Ye Jingqiu in disbelief. "What kind of soul skill is that?"

Ye Jingqiu closed her eyes tightly. At this moment, she felt her whole body was full of power. The three small black snakes had already transferred three percent of the ten percent of soul power absorbed from Wang Peng into Ye Jingqiu's body.

Even if it's only three percent, it's still three percent of a Soul King's power, which is more than enough for her, a Soul Venerable at level thirty-nine.

The three small black snakes did not stop there. Wang Peng clearly felt something moving inside his body, a sensation that made his expression extremely ugly.

He could no longer hold back, and his fifth spirit ring lit up.

His body instantly swirled like a whirlwind, his true form transforming into an arrow. His target was clear: Ye Jingqiu.

Wang Peng had a very clever plan. Ye Jingqiu was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and this person was from the Spirit Hall, so it was impossible for him to disregard her life or death.

If he hits her and Ye Jingqiu gets injured, then Qian Daoliuguang will be busy with her, and Wang Peng will have a chance to escape.

Although the chances are slim, we should still give it a shot.
