Compared to the surprise of the three burly men, there was a hint of disappointment on Yang Qi's face. Although the ghost beast at the five-star Martial King level would also be affected under the soul attack, it would only last for a blink of an eye. If it was a ghost beast at the six-star Martial King level, the impact would probably be minimal.
As for the more powerful ghost beast at the high-level Martial King level, with his soul attack method, I am afraid he will not be able to directly affect the opponent.
Soul impact is only a basic application of the soul, just like wielding a weapon with strength. There is no mysterious skill at all. If you want to increase the power of soul impact, you must increase the strength of your own soul!
Although Yang Qi has a heaven-defying technique like the Source Divine Canon, it still takes a long time to increase the strength of his soul. Therefore, if he wants to increase the power of his soul attack, the best way is to master the real soul means!
However, if one wants to master the true soul means, one must have some understanding of the soul. To do this is also very difficult. To some extent, it is even more difficult than Yang Qi's practice of the Source God Canon to improve the strength of his soul.
Because Yang Qi can practice the Source God Canon directly and strengthen his soul through practice, but to comprehend the soul, it depends entirely on talent and understanding!
As Yang Qi continued to launch soul attacks, the ghost beast fell into unconsciousness again and again and could only passively take the beatings. Its vitality rapidly drained away and it was killed in less than ten breaths.
Poof!
The burly man shook the sword in his hand and directly broke the ghost beast's head, and took out a ghost crystal that was obviously several points better than the one in the body of a low-level martial king ghost beast.
“My dear brother, if you hadn’t taken action, it would have taken us a longer time to kill the ghost beast in front of us, and I’m afraid we would have to pay a heavy price.” The burly man looked over, and with a shake of his hand, two ghost crystals fell into Yang Qi’s hands.
Hearing this, Yang Qi smiled calmly and said, "No need to be polite, I am just doing the job for money."
If the burly man had not offered the price of two ghost crystals, when Yang Qi saw that the burly man and his two companions were confident that they could kill this ghost beast at the mid-level Martial King level, he would have done the same as the burly man and his two companions had done before when they encountered the strange beast and would not have taken action.
"Brother, may I ask your name?" The burly man looked at Yang Qi and asked.
A cultivator who has mastered soul means, and whose soul means are enough to influence the six-star Martial King. Even the burly man, a cultivator at the six-star Martial King level, does not dare to underestimate him and regards him as his peer.
"My name is Yang Qi, and I'm from Zichen Continent." Yang Qi said with a faint smile.
The burly man raised his eyebrows, and then asked uncertainly, "Zichen Continent, Yang Qi? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before?"
He felt vaguely familiar with Yang Qi's name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Brother, you forgot that Junior Brother Wang mentioned before that Yang Qi was the one who entered the Martial Emperor Secret Realm."
As soon as the burly man finished speaking, the man in the light blue robe beside him hurriedly began to explain.
"Yang Qi, I remember now. You are the peerless genius of Zichen Continent. I didn't expect that you have entered the realm of Martial King." The burly man said with emotion.
Although there are many Martial King realms in the star field where the Cang Qiong Palace is located, there are only a handful of people who are proficient in soul methods. In addition, Yang Qi is from the Zi Chen Continent, so the first person that everyone thought of was Yang Qi in the Martial Emperor Secret Realm. However, they did not expect that Yang Qi could actually enter the Martial King realm in such a short time.
Seeing that the burly man and his group had actually heard of him, Yang Qi was stunned at first, and then he said, "The Junior Brother Wang you are talking about is..."
"Junior Brother Wang Yu, we are from the Shenwu Continent!" the burly man chuckled.
Shenwu Continent!
The Shenwu Continent is a world of cultivation where powerful Martial Emperors were born, and the burly man calls Wang Yu "Junior Brother", which shows that he and Wang Yu are from the same sect, the sect where the Martial Emperor is!
"My name is Luo Yaowu."
"My name is Tang Feng."
"I am Zhang Zhen."
The three burly men introduced themselves.
Following the introduction of the three people, Yang Qi also bowed slightly, which was considered as a acquaintance.
Luo Yaowu glanced at Yang Qi and said with emotion, "Junior Brother Wang Yu highly respects Brother Yang and even wants to compete with Brother Yang to see who can enter the Martial King Realm first. But now it seems that Junior Brother Wang Yu has been left far behind."
Although Yang Qi is only in the middle stage of a one-star Martial King, he has practiced for a short time and is good at the soul. His future achievements are limitless. Wang Yu is still preparing to break through to the Martial King realm and has not yet truly entered the Martial King realm. The gap between the two is not small.
“Brother Luo, you are too kind. Brother Wang Yu has great talent and potential. He will definitely achieve great things in the future.” Yang Qi chuckled.
This was not a flattery. Wang Yu was one of the top ten geniuses among the eighty-one cultivation worlds controlled by the Cang Qiong Palace in this generation. It was a foregone conclusion that he would enter the realm of Martial King. Coupled with the foundation left by the Martial Emperor powerhouses in the sect, Wang Yu's achievements would naturally not be low.
Luo Yaowu smiled noncommittally. Wang Yu's future achievements might not be low, but it would be difficult for him to catch up with Yang Qi. As a mid-level martial king who had lived for four thousand years, Luo Yaowu's vision and knowledge were definitely not comparable to those of the martial honor realm. From Yang Qi's practice along the way, plus the strength and means Yang Qi had shown, Luo Yaowu was sure that Yang Qi's future was limitless!
Yang Qi looked at Luo Yaowu, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Brother Luo, there is one thing that I find strange. As far as I know, although the Ghost Crystal can enhance the practitioner's perception of the soul, the effect is very useless. Why are you willing to pay me two Ghost Crystals to kill the Ghost Beast?"
Even if the ghost crystals bred by the mid-level Martial King Ghost Beast are more effective, the number required to use the ghost crystals to comprehend the soul is definitely not small. Yang Qi really doesn't understand why Luo Yaowu is willing to spend a huge price to obtain the ghost crystals.
"Brother Yang probably doesn't know much about the relevant records of Yuhuang Realm, right?" Luo Yaowu looked at Yang Qi.
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and nodded.
"There are three types of ghost beasts at the Martial King level: two-star Martial King level, five-star Martial King level, and eight-star Martial King level. They correspond to low-grade ghost crystals, medium-grade ghost crystals, and high-grade ghosts respectively. For every difference of one grade, the duration differs tenfold." Zhang Zhen said.
There is indeed a difference!
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed. He had thought of this when he saw that the ghost crystal bred by the five-star martial king was bigger. He just didn't expect that the duration would be ten times different!
What Yang Qi didn't expect was that the strength of the ghost beasts was fixed, and there were only three levels. No wonder the low-level ghost beasts he had killed before were all at the two-star martial king level. He always thought that the ones he encountered were all two-star martial kings, but he didn't expect that the low-level martial king-level ghost beasts were only at this level of strength!
