"Can we start now?" Xiao Yan asked Meng Yiran.
This little girl… uh… big girl, has wasted a lot of time.
"Meng Yiran, Martial Soul Serpent Cane, Two-Ring Battle Soul Master, level thirty."
After introducing herself, Meng Yiran flashed and quickly came in front of Xiao Yan. The two-meter-long Serpent Cane went straight for Xiao Yan's head.
Meng Yiran looked like a beautiful and alluring young woman, but when she started fighting, it was completely different.
Not only was her momentum extremely sharp, but her soul power was also filled with a domineering aura.
Seeing the Serpent Cane about to fall on his head, Xiao Yan calmly sidestepped, clenched his hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor quickly condensed into a blue-gold rod, which he quickly thrust out.
Astonished by Xiao Yan's utilization of his Martial Soul, Meng Yiran was also surprised by the speed of his attacks.
"First Soul Skill, Snake Body."
The first Soul Ring on her body flashed rapidly. Meng Yiran's body, as if boneless, was as supple as a snake, retreating backward with incredible speed.
"Second Soul Skill, Tongue Blade!"
After retreating a short distance, the second Soul Ring on Meng Yiran's body immediately flashed.
Yellow light flickered, and from the serpent head at the tip of Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane, a two-foot-long Tongue Blade shot out, instantly lengthening further.
The Tongue Blade shimmered with a blue luster, clearly indicating it was highly poisonous.
Xiao Yan glanced at the Serpent Cane, which Meng Yiran used to spit out a tongue, and then looked at the bare stick in his own hand.
This Soul Skill was really bizarre.
I've learned something new.
The hands holding the Serpent Cane trembled slightly, and the Serpent Cane instantly transformed into eight shadows of light, simultaneously pointing towards Xiao Yan.
These eight shadows, both real and illusory, all carried considerable power, almost covering Xiao Yan from all directions.
With Xiao Yan's perception, he could naturally distinguish which of the eight shadows was real.
"Two moves, it's time to end this!"
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the staff in his hand poked towards one of the eight shadows.
This move of his was already different from before, subtly utilizing the 'Penetrate' technique and the 'Shake' technique of the Haotian Nine Absolutes.
Combining movement and stillness, using a point to break the surface.
Using force to counter force, using movement to buffer the Shake (Technique).
Meng Yiran only felt a surge of immense force coming from her Serpent Cane, causing her hands to tremble uncontrollably, making it difficult to hold her Martial Soul.
Without a stable supply of soul power, seven of the eight illusory figures immediately vanished.
Xiao Yan's staff struck directly against the Snake Blade of Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane, which was emitting a chilling gleam.
Chao Tianxiang, from a distance, looked at the not-so-thick staff with disbelief: "This... how is this possible! Yiran's Soul Skill was actually seen through, and how can the Blue Silver Emperor be so tough, even piercing the Snake Blade of the Serpent Cane?"
At this moment, the staff, which had shocked Chao Tianxiang with its hardness, suddenly became soft, coiling around Meng Yiran's Serpent Cane before retracting into Xiao Yan's hand.
"So, this is the Serpent Cane Martial Soul?"
Xiao Yan picked up the two-meter-long Serpent Cane, behaving like a child with a new toy. He stroked the Serpent Cane before beginning to swing it around.
Although Xiao Yan didn't have any Soul Rings, when he wielded the Serpent Cane, his movements were continuous and flowing, like water. In an instant, his entire body seemed to be enveloped in a curtain of light.
Most Soul Masters rely on their Soul Rings and Soul Skills. Only a few can utilize Soul Bone skills or self-created Soul Skills.
Watching Xiao Yan wield the Serpent Cane, not only Meng Yiran, but even Chao Tianxiang, who had already reached Soul Emperor, couldn't help but admit that her understanding of Martial Soul usage was inferior to this young man's.
Xiao Yan himself didn't have much experience in using weapons, but after sparring with Li Yusong from Shrek Academy twice, he had gleaned some insights from his staff techniques.
Furthermore, during his contests with Tang Hao's hammer techniques, he learned a few scattered moves from the Haotian Nine Absolutes.
From then on, he gained more experience in weapon usage.
His comprehension was excellent, and his inner strength was profound, making learning several to even dozens of times easier than for ordinary people.
The Serpent Cane's usage was similar to that of a staff. After swinging it a few times, he became even more skilled and proficient.
The movements of striking, lifting, hacking, sweeping, thrusting, and flicking, although appearing simple, were actually a deep understanding of the essence of the staff techniques.
After a vigorous display, Xiao Yan stopped, looked at the Serpent Cane in his hand, and complimented, "This Serpent Cane Martial Soul is really not bad."
"Give my Martial Soul back to me quickly!" Meng Yiran said, a little shy.
She had been in a fight and even her Martial Soul had been taken away.
Moreover, this person used it even better than she, the one who had awakened the Martial Soul!
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and returned the Serpent Cane to Meng Yiran.
Taking back her Serpent Cane Martial Soul, Meng Yiran was like a startled little snake, quickly running to her grandmother's side.
"Senior, please."
Xiao Yan looked up at Chao Tianxiang in the distance. A blue-gold light flickered in his hand, instantly condensing into a Serpent Cane over two meters long.
Seeing this move by Xiao Yan, Chao Tianxiang didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
This little fellow's use of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was simply incredible!
Meng Yiran was directly stunned: "How can you imitate our Martial Soul?"
Chao Tianxiang said, "Yiran, this is how he uses his Martial Soul; it has nothing to do with us."
After saying that, Chao Tianxiang looked at Xiao Yan: "This old woman is quite curious about your Hall of Souls. Could it be that everyone who joins the Hall of Souls can use their Martial Soul to this extent?"
Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "It still depends on the individual's Martial Soul. The Hall of Souls emphasizes soul power, studying the development of oneself and the Martial Soul. It's about using oneself to drive the Martial Soul, but it doesn't restrict Soul Skills. However, it focuses more on the person than the Soul Ring Soul Skills."
In a few sentences, Xiao Yan couldn't explain too much.
"An interesting force." The six Soul Rings on Chao Tianxiang's body began to spin faster. "Today, for my granddaughter, I'll have to bully the young."
Walking slowly to a spot not far from Xiao Yan, Chao Tianxiang's entire demeanor turned sharp, completely different from the old woman she had been moments before.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan had experience fighting Soul Emperors. He gripped the Serpent Cane in his hand, adjusting his power.
"Senior, please." Xiao Yan raised the Serpent Cane in his hand; he didn't intend to strike first.
Soul Masters at the Soul Emperor level were not easy to come by. It would be a good opportunity to observe a few Soul Skills.
"Good lad, you've got quite the nerve!"
The second Soul Ring on Chao Tianxiang flashed. Under the yellow glow, her Serpent Cane underwent the same transformation as Meng Yiran's.
A Tongue Blade, about two or three feet long, protruded from the tip, shimmering with a blue luster.
"Second Soul Skill, Tongue Blade!"
The same Martial Soul, the same Soul Skill, but in Chao Tianxiang's hands, the power was completely different.
