Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 87 Lingquan: It's all my father's fault for being so useless.

There are significant differences between Lingquan and Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's Dou Di bloodline is not only far more profound than Lingquan's, but he is also a master of spear techniques.

His most prized high-level Earth-rank combat skill—the Myriad Beasts Spear Technique—was passed down to him by his father, who had repeatedly rendered outstanding service to the clan. The clan chief, Gu Yuan, therefore granted him special permission to inherit the clan's treasured Myriad Beasts Spear Technique. This inheritance allowed Zhao Yun to become the second-strongest commander of the Black Annihilation Army, second only to Grand Commander Gu Zhen.

On the other hand, Ling Quan, though he could wield any weapon, was proficient in one thing but inept in another. He forced himself to wield the halberd with his hands, relying on his anger. Since he did not have any halberd-related fighting techniques or martial arts skills, the most Ling Quan could do was to imbue the weapon with his lightning-attribute fighting spirit.

However, he was probably blinded by anger and assumed that with the power of anger, he could contend with high-level Earth-rank combat skills with his mediocre skills.

However, Zhao Yun found him utterly boring. As a fellow user of lightning-attribute battle qi, he naturally wasn't afraid of Ling Quan's flawed attack. Frankly, if it weren't for the fact that he and Ling Quan were of the same clan, given Zhao Yun's temperament, he probably would have already pierced Ling Quan's body with his Dragon Gallant Silver Spear, leaving a thousand transparent holes.

A flash of light appeared in Zhao Yun's hand, and the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear stored in his storage ring instantly materialized in his grasp. A casual strike, merely imbued with the aura of the Myriad Beasts Spear Technique, was accompanied by a crisp metallic clang.

Zhao Yun remained motionless, while Ling Quan, after taking seven steps back, knocked over the weapon rack and fell straight to the ground.

Hmph... You're such a waste! You still can't see the difference in strength between us? You're just a peak Dou Wang, while I'm already a genuine One-Star Dou Huang. Do you really think you're the chosen one? Trying to cross realms to fight so casually is truly laughable.

Enraged, Ling Quan slammed his fists into the ground and roared, "Damn it! What's there to be so proud of? You're just relying on having a good father to learn a high-level Earth-rank fighting technique before me. Once I advance to the Dou Zong realm, I'll be able to learn the clan's Emperor Seal Technique. At that time, I'll also have a high-level Earth-rank fighting technique. Let's see how long you can be so arrogant then."

"Heh, how boring. The Emperor Seal Technique is a cultivation method that almost all clansmen who have reached the Dou Zong realm can learn. What makes you think I will obtain the Emperor Seal Technique a step behind you? You can't beat me, so you can't beat me. It's ridiculous to keep deceiving yourself."

After saying this, Zhao Yun ignored Ling Quan, who had been buzzing around like a fly ever since he joined the Black Annihilation Army, and began to work on the deployment of troops in the four battalions.

As Lingquan watched Zhao Yun walk further and further away, his eyes were bloodshot, and his anger was palpable.

A beggar is never jealous of a billionaire; he is only jealous of beggars who earn slightly more than him.

This statement perfectly describes Lingquan. Zhao Yun and Lingquan started from the same point in life, from their fathers' generation. However, Zhao Yun's father was brave and resolute, and repeatedly made great achievements, so Zhao Yun was able to rank as the fourth commander, while Lingquan could only be ranked last, as the seventh commander.

If Zhao Yun were replaced by Grand Commander Gu Zhen, or Gu Yao, whom the Standing Elders considered a monster, Ling Quan would not have been so enraged.

Lingquan always believed that Zhao Yun's victory over him stemmed from the difference in their fathers' skills in the Ten Thousand Beasts Spear Technique. He firmly believed that without the Ten Thousand Beasts Spear Technique, Zhao Yun would certainly not be his match.

"You wretched Zhao Yun, you just wait. If I, Lingquan, ever let you get away with this, I'll change my name."

……

Utan City.

The Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame were like Grandma Liu meeting Granny Liu for the first time in the Grand View Garden. Although they were used to grand scenes, this was the first time they had been in such a bustling and noisy place. To be honest, if Zhongli hadn't been there, the two of them probably wouldn't have been able to explore Wutan City in peace.

As he strolled around, Soul Emperor had no impression of the novel trinkets, but he was deeply impressed by Zhongli's repeated phrase, "Remember this to the Mittel family's name," which he said over and over again.

"Void, is the Mittel family some powerful and prestigious clan?" Soul Emperor couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension as he leaned close to Void Devouring Flame's ear and whispered.

"How would I know any of this? This Northwest Continent is full of little Karami, none of whom are worth my attention. If you are worried that this so-called Mittel family will interfere with Mr. Zhongli's relationship with our Soul Clan, then let me send Soul Extinction to deal with this Mittel family..." Void Devouring Flame said, extending his finger and slowly making a throat-slitting gesture.

"We might as well have Hun Miesheng investigate secretly first. After all, the Mittel family might be a mysterious family hiding in the world, and perhaps they have Mr. Zhongli backing them up. We must not alert them, lest we cause a great disaster."

"Yes, I will inform Hun Miesheng later."

As the four people, one fire creature, and one beast stepped into the Xiao family's gate, they were immediately drawn in by the deafening cheers.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

……

"Xiao Ning, if you can defeat Xiao Shun, then the championship title is yours for the taking!" The two underlings who had been following behind Xiao Ning shouted with extra enthusiasm.

The Grand Elder sat with Xiao Zhan on the referee's bench. He was stroking his beard with satisfaction, his eyes fixed intently on Xiao Ning's brilliant performance on the stage.

Seeing this lively scene, Zhong Li also joined in with great interest.

When Zhongli and Xiao Yan returned home, the first thing they saw was Xiao Zhan on the high referee's stand, followed by Xiao Xun'er, who was eagerly awaiting her brother Xiao Yan's return.

Xiao Xun'er quickly peeked out from the crowd with her small head.

"Xun'er!"

"Brother Xiao Yan, Brother Xiao Yan, you're back!" Xiao Xun'er skipped happily to Xiao Yan's side and held his hands tightly.

The moment Xiao Xun'er appeared, Soul Emperor and Void Devouring Flame behind Zhong Li were instantly invigorated, as if they had felt a strong spiritual impact.

After exchanging a glance, they quickly and quietly moved to a corner.

"Lord Soul Emperor, have you noticed it too?" Void Devouring Flame asked with a hint of anticipation, his gaze constantly shifting between Xiao Xun'er and his own.

"That's right, that's the bloodline of a Dou Di, and it's extremely concentrated. I dare say that this little girl is most likely a Divine-grade Dou Di with that bloodline!" Soul Emperor said with certainty.

As the greatest contributor to the Soul Clan's long-term continuation of the Dou Di bloodline, Void Devouring Flame devoured the patriarch of the Devouring Spirit Clan in his early years, thus gaining the same ability as the Devouring Spirit Clan to devour Dou Di bloodlines. Over the years, he has contributed significantly to the continuation of the Soul Clan's Dou Di bloodline, but this is the first time he has ever seen such a pure Dou Di bloodline as Xiao Xun'er's.
