Chapter 8: Steadfast as a Rock

In the end, Qian Wenyu added, “This method can only be realized because of the unique nature of my two martial souls; it only works for me—no one else can do it.”

Hearing this, Bibi Dong’s four disciples finally felt the reality of the world. Indeed, this world was still the one they knew, with Qian Wenyu as the only exception.

Bibi Dong said, “Yuer, since your second martial soul can also be cultivated, its soul skill shouldn’t be any weaker than that of your first martial soul, right?”

Qian Wenyu scratched her head. “Uh… my second martial soul doesn’t have a soul skill. No matter how many soul rings I add, it still has no soul skill.”

“Why?” Bibi Dong asked with confusion. “When you awakened your martial soul yesterday, the aura it emitted was far weaker than that of the Six-Winged Angel. How could it have no soul skill?”

“Teacher, let’s not rush. Listen to what the little junior sister has to say first!” Huliena saw that Qian Wenyu was not disappointed at all and guessed there was more to this martial soul. The teacher was just worried unnecessarily.

Sure enough, Qian Wenyu smiled mysteriously and said, “Although this martial soul has no soul skill, like the Moon Angel martial soul, it possesses a congenital domain. Moreover, it has two innate skills, both offensive and defensive.”

“In the Rock God domain, a continuous flow of earth elements supports me in frequently using my two innate soul skills. The Earth Star governs defense: the shield it generates provides absolute defense lasting two minutes. At the same time, the earth star creates rock spines that deal small-area damage to enemies. The Sky Star governs offense: massive star rocks fall with tremendous power, petrifying enemies for three seconds.”

“Moreover, within the Rock God domain, my own strength is increased by a full 100% in every aspect, my allies gain a comprehensive 40% boost, while enemies suffer a 30% overall weakening.”

“As my soul power level rises, my Rock God domain and the two innate soul skills will also improve.”

What good are additional soul rings without soul skills? This martial soul is the projection of the Rock God Morax. With just the Rock God domain and the twin stars, she can stand undefeated in battle.

To defeat her, one must first break through her defenses.

Besides Huliena, Bibi Dong’s three disciples were all titled Douluo; how could they not perceive the terrifying power of the Earth Star and Sky Star?

Yue Guan sighed, “Though the Holy Maiden’s martial soul has only two innate soul skills, combined with her congenital domain, no one can really threaten her.”

“Indeed!” Ghost nodded in agreement, then added, “I just wonder how strong the Holy Maiden’s shield is?”

Qian Wenyu took a few steps back and smiled confidently at the two. “Why don’t you two uncles test it yourselves?”

“We?” Yue Guan and Ghost looked surprised. Both were titled Douluo, while the Holy Maiden was only a Great Soul Master. The gap in strength was too vast.

Seeing Qian Wenyu’s certainty, the indecisive two turned to Bibi Dong for her opinion.

Bibi Dong nodded. “Go ahead. I trust Yuer to know her limits.”

With Bibi Dong’s approval, Yue Guan and Ghost reluctantly agreed to Qian Wenyu’s request.

“Senior sister, would you like to join me?” Qian Wenyu smiled at Huliena, inviting her.

Huliena hesitated briefly, then stepped to Qian Wenyu’s side.

“Earth Star, as solid as a rock.” As Qian Wenyu spoke, a layer of golden shield enveloped both her and Huliena.

At the same time, a rock spine appeared before Qian Wenyu, emanating earth element energy waves that instantly shattered the stones within its range.

“This is the little junior sister’s shield?” Huliena’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. She reached out to touch the shield, only to have her finger pass right through it.

Qian Wenyu smiled at Yue Guan and Ghost. “You two uncles can attack us now—no holding back.”

Yue Guan and Ghost exchanged a glance but didn’t take her words to heart. Even though the Holy Maiden said so, they couldn’t act recklessly. If something happened to her, they wouldn’t bear the responsibility.

“Your Highnesses, be careful.” They warned briefly before unleashing their first soul skills at 30% power.

Seeing them only use the first soul skill, Qian Wenyu felt helpless. She had said it—the Earth Star’s shield offers absolute defense.

What is absolute defense? It ignores all physical and special attacks, all negative effects, and any disparity in power levels.

Faced with the attack from two titled Douluo, Huliena trembled but calmed down upon seeing the calm and confident expression on the younger Qian Wenyu’s face.

The attacks from Yue Guan and Ghost landed on the shields surrounding Qian Wenyu and Huliena, but the shields remained intact and neither suffered any damage.

Huliena looked at Qian Wenyu with burning admiration. A Great Soul Master’s shield capable of blocking attacks from titled Douluo was unique across the entire continent. This little junior sister brought an unparalleled sense of security!

At the same time, Qian Wenyu quietly marveled at the security bestowed by the Emperor—truly unmatched!

“How is this possible?” Yue Guan and Ghost stared at the still glowing golden shield, their faces full of disbelief. They had expected the shield to break, even if it could block their attacks.

Yet who would have thought this shield was so thick that a blow from a titled Douluo couldn’t even crack it?

After a whole day, Bibi Dong had grown accustomed to her daughter’s extraordinary talents. Seeing the girl’s confident demeanor, she had already anticipated this outcome. Thus, while surprised, she was not overly shocked.

What intrigued her more was that Yuer’s shield could be applied not only to herself but also to her teammates!

Such an incredibly strong shield would be a powerful asset in team battles. She could already envision Yuer leading the Martial Soul Hall’s team to dominate the Soul Master Elite Tournament.

Both Qian Wenyu and Huliena had now obtained soul rings. Bibi Dong did not linger long in the Star Dou Forest, and the group returned to the Martial Soul Hall.

Back at the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong took Qian Wenyu to the Shrine Hall and recounted everything that had happened to Qian Daoliu in full detail.

These events could not be concealed. Even if she hadn’t told him, Yuer would have shared them with her grandfather.

After hearing Bibi Dong’s account, none of those present could help but be stunned by Qian Wenyu’s incredible talent.

Although Qian Daoliu did not agree with Bibi Dong’s permissiveness in allowing Qian Wenyu to absorb millennium soul rings, he refrained from blaming her, knowing that if it were himself, he might not have been able to resist his granddaughter either.
