Cao Xin did lose this time, but she gained a lot from the competition. Once she puts these gains to good use, she will face the cultivator from Qingfeng Valley again. The outcome is still unknown. This competition is not a matter of life and death for the family, and Cao Xin is just a junior of the family. Compared with the victory or defeat, the talent and potential Cao Xin showed is more moving.
"Brother Yang is right. Cultivation cannot be achieved overnight. You don't have to worry about temporary gains and losses." Cao Rong also spoke to comfort him.
The talent and potential shown by Cao Xin, coupled with his relationship with Yang Qi, have already made Cao Rong decide to train Cao Xin with all his strength. By then, the family may be able to reduce its reliance on corpse puppets.
Upon hearing this, Cao Xin said respectfully, "Junior understands!"
Seeing that Cao Xin understood what he meant, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile. The competition in the Martial King realm was completely over, but there was still one last match in the Martial Emperor realm.
Chen Chen looked towards the direction of the Cao family and said with emotion, "From today onwards, I'm afraid the Cao family will have even more weight in the Corpse Puppet Sect."
Not only did the Cao family make friends with a genius like Yang Qi, but they also had outstanding and talented practitioners like Cao Xin among their descendants. The Cao family's future strength will definitely improve.
At the same time, the Blood Skull Hall Master on the high platform said loudly, "For the third match of the Martial Emperor Realm, please invite the two practitioners to the stage."
The outcome of this competition had long been a foregone conclusion, but since Yunhai Palace did not admit defeat, the competition would have to continue.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Hearing Xue Lu's announcement, Yang Qi and Baili Xiang flashed and immediately appeared on the stage.
"Baili Xiang's strength is not much different from Baruch's, but he seems to be good at soul. I wonder if he can withstand Yang Qi's soul attack?"
"If you can hold on, you still have the strength to fight. If you can't, I'm afraid you will be like Baruch, with no strength to resist at all."
"It's not that Baruch and Baili Xiang are not strong enough, but Yang Qi is too evil."
Looking at the two practitioners on the stage, the practitioners watching the competition below immediately started talking. They had no doubts about the result of the competition. They were just curious about how long and to what extent Baili Xiang, who defeated Baruch, could last against Yang Qi.
Buzz~
The protective formation on the arena was activated, the scenery around Yang Qi and Baili Xiang changed, and the two of them immediately came to the void.
Baili Xiang looked at Yang Qi in front of him and suddenly said, "Yang Qi, I've seen you fight with Baruch, I'm no match for you."
Um
Yang Qi was stunned. He already knew that Baili Xiang was no match for him because he had seen Baili Xiang fight with Baruch before. But what was Baili Xiang's intention in saying this now
If he wanted to admit defeat, Baili Xiang could have done so directly before the competition began. There was no need for him to say such words before the competition started and the two of them had yet to fight.
"Although I am not your opponent, I am an expert in the spiritual realm, so I hope to have a spiritual contest with you." Baili Xiang looked at Yang Qi and said.
A competition at the soul level
Yang Qi was stunned. Generally, the competitions and fights among practitioners were a combination of force and soul means. After all, these are two inseparable aspects of a practitioner. But now Baili Xiang only wanted to compete with Yang Qi in soul means. It was very obvious that he wanted to use Yang Qi's soul means to touch him.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "If you are a practitioner who is good at the soul, you should know that the consequences of the collision of soul means, once injured, can be serious or minor."
When he fought with Baruch before, he used soul skills to influence the opponent because Baruch was not good at soul. He could control the power of soul attack, but if he simply competed with a cultivator like Baili Xiang who was good at soul, he might not be able to accurately control the power of soul attack, and might even hurt Baili Xiang's soul.
Although soul damage can be restored, if it happens too many times, it is likely to affect one's own soul. Therefore, most practitioners will try their best to avoid soul damage, because the consequences of soul damage may be much more serious than physical damage.
"If my soul is hurt, it's only because I'm not strong enough." Baili Xiang smiled calmly and continued, "I hope Brother Yang can help me!"
Although Baili Xiang has cultivated for about 20,000 years and has reached his current strength, and is also a practitioner who is good at the soul path, the soul path is too difficult to walk. Now that he has encountered a practitioner who has cultivated for such a short time and whose soul attack is so powerful, Baili Xiang knows that this is his chance!
A clash of soul skills with a demon like Yang Qi might bring him more inspiration and help him practice the soul. So even though he knew he would lose, he still chose to continue the competition. Even though his soul might be damaged, he still chose to have a soul skills competition with Yang Qi.
"In that case, I will grant your wish."
Yang Qi nodded. He knew very well how difficult the path of the soul was.
Even if he is the Lord of an alien universe or a strong man at the third level of the peak Martial Emperor, no one has comprehended his soul to the perfect level. It is even said that there has never been such a practitioner in the history of the entire endless universe!
Although Yang Qi did not major in the soul, his soul skills were one of his most powerful attack methods. Because of the Source Divine Canon, this situation might continue. Therefore, practicing and comprehending the soul was equally important to him, and was not inferior to practicing the sword!
Wow~
Yang Qi moved his hand, the void around him trembled, and a strong soul fluctuation enveloped the void around him.
"Soul suppression?"
Feeling the discomfort of the soul, Baili Xiang's eyes condensed, but the next moment, he shook his head, "It's not just soul suppression!"
As a practitioner who is good at the soul, Baili Xiang is naturally very familiar with the means of soul attack. Soul suppression is only the most basic of the soul means. Although the means used by Yang Qi are very similar to soul suppression, a simple soul attack does not require any action at all, and it is impossible to have such a strong effect!
"Domain-type soul means?"
Baili Xiang raised his eyebrows and had some vague guesses in his mind.
Domain-type soul means are considered a means of soul suppression. However, domain-type soul means are ever-changing. Baili Xiang could not tell what type of soul means Yang Qi was using for a moment.
"Break it for me!"
Although it was unknown whether Yang Qi was using soul power, the soul power in Baili Xiang's body surged, and the surrounding void vibrated, directly resisting the effect of the soul suppression. (To be continued)
