Chapter 74 Enlightenment
Five days later.
The intensive competition schedule ended, and Qin Ming, with an unstoppable momentum, stormed into the top eight.
Relying on his advantages in flight and speed, Qin Ming used a long-range-against-short-range tactic, becoming the nightmare of almost all the contestants...
At this time, at Qin Ming's residence.
Qin Ming walked out of his small courtyard, just as he was about to head to the Soul Arena for today's match, a voice called out to him.
"Your Highness... Your Highness...
Please wait a moment!"
Hearing this, Qin Ming stopped and looked to the side with some confusion.
Salas appeared in Qin Ming's sight.
Before Qin Ming could ask, Salas spoke directly.
"Your Highness Qin Ming, please wait a moment, I have some information to tell you..."
After stopping in front of Qin Ming, Salas continued.
"Your Highness Qin Ming, at this stage,
the remaining Soul Masters all possess at least the Soul King level of cultivation. Most
of them lack the ability to fly, so they are essentially helpless against your tactics.
However, there are two among them whom you need to pay special attention to.
Your tactics may not be effective against them!"
Qin Ming said solemnly upon hearing this.
"Which two?"
"One is Hu Yanzhuo, the son of Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, a level 53 defensive Soul Master.
The other is Bai Yu, a level 56 agility-attack Soul Master and a candidate for the patriarch of the Agility Clan."
"Those two?"
Seeing that Qin Ming didn't seem to care about the two, Salas quickly added.
"Your Highness Qin Ming, those two are different from other Soul Masters.
They are both Soul Masters specializing in one area. The
Diamond Mammoth, the inherited Martial Soul of the Elephant Armor Sect, has an astonishing defensive power.
In the last battle, Hu Yanzhuo withstood the attack of a powerful offensive Soul King.
He managed to drag the battle until the Soul King's Soul Power was exhausted, and the Soul King still couldn't break through Hu Yanzhuo's defense...
The fiery sword energy you unleashed is very likely not enough to break through Hu Yanzhuo's defense."
Hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head at Salas.
"Bishop Salas, you don't need to worry about Hu Yanzhuo at all.
I still have two amplification-type Soul Skills, as well as several extremely powerful Soul Skills that I haven't used yet.
If I use all of these Soul Skills, it shouldn't be difficult for me to forcibly break through Hu Yanzhuo's defense."
Seeing Qin Ming's confidence, Salas didn't mention Hu Yanzhuo again, but instead introduced another person to Qin Ming.
"Your Highness, Bai Yu from the Min Clan is also not simple.
Their clan's inherited Martial Soul, the Sharp-Tailed Swift, is known as the fastest Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent."
Soul Masters of the Agile Clan often gain the ability to fly before reaching the third ring.
They are extremely fast and have exceptional evasion skills.
Your attacks will likely have a hard time hitting them. Hearing Salas
say this, Qin Ming stroked his chin, deep in thought.
'A pure agility-type Soul Master?
Actually, he's not that difficult to deal with.
If I can briefly restrict his movements with a control-type Soul Skill, winning shouldn't be difficult.
I happen to have a Soul Skill that can achieve a control effect.
I haven't used the ability of my head Soul Bone since the start of the competition.
This is unknown information; Bai Yu couldn't possibly know it.
If I use the ability of my head Soul Bone to unleash a mental shock when fighting Bai Yu, he'll likely be unable to react.
If I can briefly control him for a second or two, I can end the battle with a single sword strike.
Besides, I can also take advantage of the rule that we can't leave the arena to use a wide-range Soul Skill, leaving Bai Yu nowhere to hide.
However, the arena for this Soul Battle is too large; I'm afraid my other Soul Skills won't achieve such an effect…'
Thinking of this, Qin Ming frowned.
'Could I try to create a Soul Skill with a similar effect?
No, creating a Soul Skill isn't something that can be done in a short time.' I can't waste my time on this like Feng Xiaotian in the original story.
However, perhaps I can try developing my fourth soul skill, the Blade of Judgment.
I don't know any swordsmanship right now, so I just use a simple, low-cost flame sword aura as my attack method.
This way of using it is a bit crude...'
As he pondered, Qin Ming's mind gradually emptied.
Battle scenes from various movies and anime he had seen in his previous life appeared in Qin Ming's mind.
Countless inspirations collided, and Qin Ming's eyes became hazy, his body unconsciously moving forward...
Before he knew it, Qin Ming had summoned his own martial soul.
Under Salas's surprised gaze,
Qin Ming's right hand made a grasping motion in the air.
The next instant, the Blade of Judgment, burning with golden flames, appeared in Qin Ming's hand.
Seeing this, Salas subconsciously took two steps back.
Before Salas could speak, Qin Ming raised the Blade of Judgment in his hand and casually slashed forward.
Bang—
accompanied by a loud bang, earth and rocks exploded, and dust rose everywhere.
Immediately, Qin Ming's body twisted again, unleashing another fiery sword aura.
This time, the sword was aimed at Salas.
Seeing the fiery sword aura grow larger in his eyes,
Salas ducked down, narrowly dodging it.
*Bang!*
Feeling the burning sensation behind him, Salas turned his head.
At this moment, the wall of Qin Ming's courtyard had been cleaved through by Qin Ming's sword…
Seeing this, Salas was somewhat bewildered.
'What happened? Everything was fine just now.'
While Salas was wondering, Qin Ming unleashed dozens more sword strikes.
Fiery sword aura danced wildly, and the ground around Qin Ming looked as if it had been bombed.
Qin Ming's own courtyard was also in ruins, and the exquisite little wooden house in the center of the courtyard was completely destroyed…
Noticing this, Salas finally reacted.
"Qin Ming…"
Just as Salas was about to speak to Qin Ming, a voice called out to him.
"Don't disturb Qin Ming!"
Hearing the voice, Salas turned his head to look behind him.
Unbeknownst to him, several elders from the Spirit Hall, including Qian Daoliu, were already standing behind him…
Seeing this, Salas silently swallowed, hurriedly retreating to the side, not daring to utter another sound.
Looking at Qin Ming not far away, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement,
"That kid Qin Ming actually encountered an opportunity for enlightenment at the Soul Master level!
What incredible luck!"
Hearing this, Lion Douluo stroked his beard and laughed loudly.
"This brat's luck is indeed quite good.
I just wonder what he'll gain after this enlightenment."
As he spoke, Lion Douluo glanced back again.
Noticing Qin Ming's completely destroyed courtyard,
Lion Douluo revealed a look of disgust.
"That brat, he never knows to change his training location.
It was the same half a year ago, when he first got that 30,000-year-old right arm soul bone.
If I hadn't been there, he would have wrecked his whole yard that very day.
I knew then that his yard was doomed sooner or later..."
