Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Xu Baolin’s Strength
"Jade Water Poison Frog!"
"Poisonous Frog Binding!"
The man cloaked in a black robe let out a low shout and directly used a Soul Technique.
Before him, a frog-like Martial Soul flashed into existence. Then, something resembling a tongue, covered in glistening slime, shot out toward Xu Baolin.
The moment Qingwa attacked, Flame Wolf and the other three quickly separated, each activating their Martial Souls and preparing to strike.
Although Soul Techniques were powered by Primordial Power, the tongue was still a disgusting sight.
"Giant Spirit Divine Power!"
Xu Baolin barked coldly and leaped from the city wall.
As he descended, he directly activated his Secret Technique. His right arm suddenly swelled, and wrapped in dazzling Primordial Power, he threw a punch at the Poisonous Frog Binding Soul Technique.
BANG!
A muffled thud echoed.
The tongue seemed to petrify, suddenly going taut. Then, starting from the point of contact with Xu Baolin’s fist, it rapidly disintegrated, shattering all the way back to Qingwa.
"A Level 5 Martial Spirit, and a power-enhancing Secret Technique!" Qingwa’s expression changed, and he hastily retreated.
For a Tier Three Soul Technique to be shattered by a single punch was difficult even for someone one level higher. The only explanation was Xu Baolin’s suddenly swollen right arm!
"Die!"
Using the momentum from his descent, Xu Baolin’s right leg also swelled abruptly before he stomped it fiercely onto the ground.
A visible wave of power tore through the earth, carving a distinct scar in the ground as it shot straight for Qingwa.
"Help me!"
As a Level 4 Martial Spirit, Qingwa had no way of withstanding a strike from a Level 5 Martial Spirit who was also using a powerful Secret Technique. He cried out for help.
Another Level 4 Martial Spirit suddenly squatted down and slammed his hands on the ground. "Earth Flow Wall!"
After he unleashed the Soul Technique, a dark brown wall suddenly erupted from the ground in front of Qingwa. The wall appeared to be made of semi-dry mud and was constantly shifting.
SHHH... BANG!
Against the power from Xu Baolin’s stomp, the Tier Three Soul Technique, Earth Flow Wall, only held for a moment before being torn in two. The power wave continued onward, its force undiminished, and slammed into Qingwa, sending him flying backward with a gruesome gash torn across his chest.
"Die!"
At that moment, the Level 6 Martial Spirit, Flame Wolf, seized the opportunity to advance. He gathered pure Primordial Power in his palm and blasted it toward Xu Baolin.
"Giant Spirit Divine Power!"
Xu Baolin’s right arm swelled once more. Primordial Power surged as he met the attack with his own palm.
Palm met palm.
The Primordial Power between their palms shattered instantly. Both were forced back, STUMBLING rapidly, but Flame Wolf was pushed back even farther than Xu Baolin!
Relying solely on the Giant Spirit Divine Power Secret Technique, Xu Baolin could clash head-on with Flame Wolf, who was a full level higher, and even slightly overpower him!
It was clear this Secret Technique was exceptionally powerful, at least on par with Chu Qingyun’s Profound Celestial Divine Pattern.
"Thousand Blades Sword, Thousand-Edge Sword Blade!"
"Fire Cloud Staff, Fire Cloud Staff Strike!"
After Flame Wolf, the remaining two men also unleashed their Soul Techniques, attacking Xu Baolin.
Ten meters in front of Xu Baolin, dozens of gleaming sword blades suddenly materialized from thin air, spinning like a whirlwind as they closed in on him.
Meanwhile, the long staff in the hands of the bald man who had attacked before also elongated abruptly, striking toward Xu Baolin’s head from the side.
Two Tier Three Soul Techniques unleashed by Earth Spirit Realm experts!
"Gale Wolf, Gale Blade!"
A faint cyan wolf silhouette flashed before Xu Baolin, and eighteen cyan Gale Blades flew out from the Martial Soul.
However, under his control, the eighteen cyan Wind Blades rapidly merged, transforming into a single cyan battle saber that he gripped in his hand.
"Gale Saber Technique!"
Xu Baolin executed the Saber Technique he had practiced painstakingly for over a decade. His body seemed to split into multiple afterimages as he incredibly managed to block every single sword blade attack.
As for the elongated Fire Cloud Staff, he activated his Giant Spirit Divine Power and sent it flying back with a single punch!
Relying on his Saber Technique and Secret Technique, Xu Baolin fought one against five in the initial exchange without falling into the slightest disadvantage. In fact, he even showed signs of suppressing Flame Wolf and his four companions.
Seeing this, Chu Qingyun’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Chu Qingyun was highly talented in the Sword Dao and had progressed far along its path.
By drawing parallels, he could tell that although the Gale Saber Technique had an ordinary name, it was definitely not a common Spirit Level Saber Technique. Even if it wasn’t King Level, it was likely related.
As for the Giant Spirit Divine Power Secret Technique, he had never seen it in the exchange office, but it also looked incredibly powerful.
Not only that, but Xu Baolin could actually force the Wind Blades of his Soul Technique to merge into a battle saber, augmenting his every attack with the power of a Tier Three Soul Technique.
Such formidable Control Power was even greater than that of Xiao Feng, who could only attach his Soul Technique to a weapon. The only person Chu Qingyun had seen with better Martial Soul control than Xu Baolin was likely himself.
’With this kind of strength, even a Level 6 Martial Spirit from the Great Xia Dragon Guard might not be his match. This guy... he’s definitely not just some simple Level 5 Martial Spirit Grand Commander,’ Chu Qingyun thought to himself.
After leaping from the wall, Xu Baolin displayed astonishing combat power, fighting one against five with apparent ease.
If not for the fact that Flame Wolf’s group had a mix of attack, Defensive, and Control Type Soul Techniques, allowing for some degree of coordination, they likely would have already been defeated!
After watching for a moment, Chu Qingyun was almost certain that Xu Baolin was guaranteed to win this fight.
So, he quietly retreated to the back.
Taking advantage of everyone being engrossed in the battle, Chu Qingyun stealthily took out a large box of Primordial Spirit Liquid from his Storage Ring. He placed his hand on it and began to absorb the Primordial Power using his Devouring Power.
The Primordial Power in his Qi Sea was already nearly full from the intense battle earlier.
Now, he was going to attempt a breakthrough in his cultivation.
The battle below held no more suspense. Chu Qingyun didn’t want to waste any time and sought to break through to Level 3 Martial Spirit as quickly as possible. Only then could he resume absorbing Primordial Power for his cultivation.
Streams of pure Primordial Power flowed through his Devouring Power into his Devouring Martial Soul. After being refined into Primordial Liquid by the Devouring Martial Soul, it poured into his Qi Sea.
Using the Devouring Martial Soul to refine the Primordial Spirit Liquid was much faster than consuming it directly and refining it with his own meridians.
Inside the jade box, the amount of Primordial Spirit Liquid rapidly decreased, while in Chu Qingyun’s Qi Sea, a continuous stream of Primordial Liquid flowed out from his Devouring Martial Soul.
As the Primordial Liquid accumulated, his Qi Sea gradually began to feel like it was being stretched to its limit.
Chu Qingyun understood. His Primordial Power reserves for the Level 2 Martial Spirit stage had reached their peak; it was time to attempt a breakthrough.
With a wave of his hand, he put away the jade box. Chu Qingyun sat cross-legged on the ground, calmed his heart and concentrated his spirit, and began to focus his Soul Power to compress and purify the Primordial Liquid in his Qi Sea.
