4 Chapter 3 first assessment passed, the second task_1

"An eighteen-year-old Soul King?"

Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened, and he shook his head subconsciously, "I've never seen anyone become a Soul King at eighteen. It's already extraordinarily rare to become a Soul Ancestor at that age."

Not to mention seeing one, even in the historical records of their Xingluo Empire, the royal household had never produced an eighteen-year-old Soul King.

"Then you should take a closer look."

A sly look flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she spoke to Dai Mubai.

"Take a look? At whom?"

Dai Mubai was taken aback, looking at Ning Rongrong with a face full of confusion.

"Boss, quick, look at that youngster. He, he is a Soul King!"

Next to Dai Mubai, Oscar tugged fiercely at Dai Mubai's clothes and pointed at Qin Xiao in the arena.

At this moment, Oscar looked utterly astonished.

"A Soul King? How is that possible!"

Dai Mubai was incredulous at heart.

Still, he subconsciously looked over.

Instantly, he was stunned.

"This, how is this possible!"

After getting a clear view of the scene before him, he was so flabbergasted, he couldn't close his mouth.

Where his gaze landed, there was an extra soul ring at Qin Xiao's feet, wasn't there?

"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black..."

"That's right, he is indeed a Soul King."

"Xiaosan, he, he really is a Soul King, an eighteen-year-old Soul King!!"

At Tang San's side, Xiaowu extended her finger and kept checking Qin Xiao's soul rings, her voice filled with surprise.

This was too astonishing.

Could this person's talent actually be stronger than Tang San's?!

You see, before this, she believed that no one's talent could surpass Tang San's, even after meeting Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai.

But now, Xiaowu no longer thought that way.

At eighteen, could Tang San have had the cultivation of a Soul King? This thought unconsciously surfaced in Xiaowu's mind.

"Beyond the mountains, there are mountains even higher..." Tang San also commented with a complex expression. His heart was full of longing. Soul King, when could he reach that level?

"An eighteen-year-old Soul King, such talent is too astonishing."

"Looking across all the generations of students at Shrek, not one could match him."

"Forget about Shrek, even that once youngest Titled Douluo of the entire continent only became a Soul King in his twenties, right?"

Let alone others, even Li Yusong, who was used to seeing "monsters," was incredibly shocked, feeling waves churning in his heart.

Such talent was truly the genius among geniuses, breaking the history of the Soul Land.

"Young man, you can...."

Li Yusong was about to tell Qin Xiao that he could join Shrek now.

But the words that followed were like a fishbone stuck in his throat; he simply couldn't say them.

He was completely dumbfounded, uncontrollably uttering two words: "Six rings..."

As his voice fell, another pitch-black soul ring appeared beneath Qin Xiao's feet.

"Good heavens! A six-ring Soul Emperor!"

"Is he really only eighteen?!"

Ning Rongrong's mouth hung open slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

If someone had told her before that someone could reach the level of a Soul Emperor at eighteen, she would have scoffed at them.

What a joke, even her Bone Grandpa and Sword Grandpa didn't achieve this when they were young.

But now she felt that no one would believe her, even though she saw it all with her own eyes.

"Boss, it seems we really misjudged him. This young man is actually a powerhouse on the same level as Teacher Li."

Next to him, Oscar shrank his neck and spoke solemnly.

And Dai Mubai opened his mouth but had no idea what to say.

Say what?

In three more years, he couldn't reach the realm of a Soul Emperor even if he exhausted himself.

Forget about a Soul Emperor, even the realm of a Soul King was uncertain...

Although that young man from the beginning until now had said nothing, nor had he even looked at him directly, Dai Mubai felt as though an invisible slap had struck his face.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiao saw everything at the bottom of everyone's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Regarding his own strength, he had never thought about hiding it.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger was something he had no interest in at all.

After over a decade of hard cultivation in the barren mountains, wasn't it so no one could look down on him?

Whew whew...

Powerful soul power erupted in the arena, stirring up a fierce wind.

One soul ring after another appeared in succession.

Seven ring Soul Sage!

Eight ring Soul Douluo!

Nine ring Titled Douluo!

When the ninth soul ring appeared on Qin Xiao's body, time seemed to stand still.

Everyone's hearts nearly stopped beating.

The dark and deep glow dominated everyone's eyes.

However, a massive and unparalleled soul force pressure descended suddenly, making everyone feel as if their bodies were sinking, utterly unable to resist this formidable power, and they were pressed down to the ground one after the other.

"Boss, am I seeing things? He, he, he has nine soul rings…"

Moments later, Oscar could not help but exclaim in shock.

But Dai Mubai did not listen to what he said, just muttering to himself,

"Titled Douluo, how can he possibly be a Titled Douluo!"

He was like someone possessed, murmuring in a dream.

"I thought reaching the Soul Emperor realm was shocking enough. Now... now..."

Ning Rongrong's eyes were incredibly complex, completely at a loss for what to say.

"Xiaowu, how are you?"

Tang San was barely maintaining a kneeling position on one knee, while Xiaowu curled up behind him, her face filled with panic.

"No, nothing..."

"Xiaosan, he's so strong, and I'm really scared,"

Xiaowu said with a tremble in her voice.

Her mind was in complete disarray.

Could this person really be a Titled Douluo, and how could such a remote place have a Titled Douluo? What was his purpose? Surely it wasn't for her, was it?

But without Qin Xiao saying anything, she wouldn't dare to ask even if she were beaten to death.

"May I ask if I can pass your test now?"

Surrounded by nine soul rings, Qin Xiao looked at Li Yusong with a faint smile on his face.

"Your Highness, you jest."

"If our Shrek has offended you in any way, I apologize here and now."

Li Yusong did not fall down, he gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength to resist the pressure emanating from Qin Xiao, preventing himself from looking foolish.

He really couldn't fathom how their little Shrek had managed to attract a Titled Douluo level powerhouse.

"You misunderstand, I truly am here to enroll, and I really am eighteen years old,"

Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, retracting his martial soul and soul rings.

Everyone in the field felt the pressure lift suddenly.

He's really here to enroll? Li Yusong dared not hesitate any longer and immediately gave his answer, "Congratulations... you have successfully passed my assessment..."

Let alone the entrance exam, if Qin Xiao told him he wanted to be the dean, Li Yusong would instantly go to talk to Flander about it.

"Thank you," Qin Xiao said with satisfaction, nodding his head.

At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

[Ding.]

[Rookie Soul Master, congratulations on barely passing Li Yusong's test, the task reward has been issued.]

Did I pass?

At the thought, Qin Xiao felt as if a force had entered his body out of the blue.

Although he hadn't summoned his soul rings, he could feel that the soul rings had undergone significant changes.

Additionally, a faint stream of soul power merged into his own, causing his cultivation level to slightly increase.

Qin Xiao knew it was the increase in the years of his soul rings that brought him this feedback of soul power.

However, at that moment, another voice from the system echoed in Qin Xiao's mind.

[Ding, a new task has been issued.]

[Novice Guide (II): Rookie Soul Master, congratulations on barely passing Li Yusong's assessment. But please don't be proud. Next, please join forces with your partners to face the challenge of Overlord Devil Zhao Wuji.

Task Requirement: Work together with your partners and hold out against Zhao Wuji for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Task Reward: Second soul ring duration +1000 years.

Note: Zhao Wuji possesses Soul Sage strength, is extremely powerful and also very vicious. Should you be negligent, your life may be at risk.]

After reading the new task, Qin Xiao stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

Zhao Wuji?

Vicious?
