I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 125: Evil God's Protection and Mysterious Beads

"Titan Firmament Cannon!"

Faced with the charging Dark Demon Evil Tiger, Qin Xiao naturally wouldn't choose to evade.

He clenched his left fist and blasted out!

Boom!
The fist collided heavily with the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, creating ripples in the void.

"Roar!"

The Dark Demon Evil Tiger roared in pain and hastily retreated.

On the other hand, Qin Xiao involuntarily took two steps back before dissipating the impact force from the Dark Demon Evil Tiger.

"Not bad at all, to challenge the sovereign of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts with a cultivation of sixty thousand years. This strength is indeed remarkable," Qin Xiao exclaimed with admiration.

"My Lord, are you alright?"

"Shouldn't we give up on this soul beast? It's too dangerous to stay here," Zhao Wuji asked with concern from afar.

If it were elsewhere, it would be fine, but this was the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest. Any disturbance here could attract many sovereign soul beasts.

Following Qin Xiao's voice echoing in Zhao Wuji's mind, "No need to panic too much. Although the Dark Demon Evil Tiger is a strong presence in the Star Dou Great Forest, its personality means it doesn't have many friends. Many soul beasts wish it dead. Why would they come to its aid?"

This wasn't Qin Xiao making up stories.

The Dark Demon Evil Tiger's unique physique meant that its cultivation progressed very slowly. It could only rapidly improve its cultivation by devouring other soul beasts or humans, thanks to its evil attribute.

Don't underestimate its cultivation of sixty thousand years; countless soul beasts had died by its hands.

This creature was truly a terror among soul beasts.

After hearing Qin Xiao's explanation, Zhao Wuji finally calmed down.

Roar!
At this moment, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger seemed to be enraged by Qin Xiao. Roaring furiously, it launched another group attack.

Swish, swish, swish.

With a swipe of its claws, countless black wind blades shot towards Qin Xiao.

In addition to that, black clouds appeared in the sky, indicating the brewing of another soul skill.

"Is it going all out?"

Qin Xiao, undaunted, summoned the nine soul rings under his feet.

Upon seeing the soul rings beneath Qin Xiao's feet, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger was momentarily stunned, especially when it sensed a familiar aura from the first soul ring.

It was the Titan Giant Ape, one of the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts by the shores of the Lake of Life!

Thinking back to how Qin Xiao had dealt with it before, using the Titan Firmament Cannon, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger became even more convinced of its suspicions.

Even hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were killed by him?

This was a ruthless character!

It trembled inwardly, harboring thoughts of retreat.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

With a thought, black thunderbolts descended from the black thunderclouds. These were the Dark Demon Evil God Thunder, a fusion of wind, lightning, evil, and darkness.

Without mincing words, even if a Titled Douluo were hit by these black thunderbolts, they would either die or be severely injured.

After doing all this, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger didn't even bother to see the results before turning to leave.

"Now you want to leave? Isn't it a bit too late?" Qin Xiao's cold voice suddenly entered the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's ears.

It turned its head to see the Titan Giant Ape, wreathed in electric light, charging out of the coverage of the Dark Demon Evil Thunder.

And the speed of the Thunder Titan was extremely fast. In an instant, it arrived in front of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger and fiercely smashed down with its fist.

Boom!

The Dark Demon Evil Tiger was slammed to the ground like a sandbag.

At this moment, Qin Xiao's figure also floated in the air above its head, looking down on it.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The Dark Demon Evil Tiger roared at Qin Xiao, venting its frustration.

But Qin Xiao keenly noticed something wrong.

That was the bursts of black light appearing on the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's body.

"Do you want to take me into the life and death arena?" Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, giving the command coldly, "Self-destruct!"

The life and death arena was a rather sinister soul skill. After using it, Qin Xiao and the Dark Demon Evil Tiger would both revert to their juvenile forms and engage in a battle to the death.

And only one person would survive.

Although Qin Xiao wasn't afraid to fight the juvenile Dark Demon Evil Tiger, what about Zhao Wuji's soul rings?
So, no matter what, he couldn't let the Dark Demon Evil Tiger successfully use its skills.

Faced with the Thunder Titan charging towards it, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's eyes flashed with determination.

In the next moment, it gathered all its strength and formed a powerful soul force shield around itself.

Qin Xiao could even sense a transcendent aura emanating from this soul force shield.

It seemed to no longer belong to the power on the Douluo Continent.

"Power of the Evil God."

"This skill should be the Evil God's Protection!"

Qin Xiao furrowed his brows slightly as he thought of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's strongest defensive soul skill.

In the original story, Tang San, at over ninety levels, used his Trident with all his might, but even his full-strength attack only managed to break through the Evil God's Protection, without causing any harm to the Dark Demon Evil Tiger.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, there was a deafening explosion in the Star Dou Great Forest.

A small mushroom cloud appeared in the sky above the forest.

"Is that guy blown to pieces?" Qin Xiao muttered as he looked down at the crater below.

However, he quickly noticed the tattered Dark Demon Evil Tiger emerging from the explosion.

One of its bat wings was broken, and its eyes lacked vitality, dimming its appearance.

At this moment, it had lost its former prestige.

"Roar!"

It looked up at Qin Xiao and let out a weak, hoarse roar.

"Old Zhao, come over here, it's done for," Qin Xiao waved to Zhao Wuji, who looked disheveled in the distance.

"Coming, coming!" Zhao Wuji hastily wiped the dust off his face and brushed his clothes before running over.

He immediately saw the Dark Demon Evil Tiger in the crater.

"Don't just stand there, kill it. You'll gain a powerful soul skill," Qin Xiao shrugged, signaling for Zhao Wuji to act quickly.

"Alright, alright," Zhao Wuji nodded excitedly.

He then approached the Dark Demon Evil Tiger step by step.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Sensing danger approaching, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger growled softly, resembling a wild dog threatening someone.

But Zhao Wuji wasn't an ordinary person; how could he be intimidated so easily?

He backhandedly slapped the Dark Demon Evil Tiger on the head.

"What kind of nonsense is this dog barking?" 

The Dark Demon Evil Tiger was left dumbfounded by the slap.

This person dared to slap me?

It was an outright insult!

I've lived for so many years and have never been so speechless.

But before it could have any more thoughts, it suddenly felt a chill in its heart.

Lowering its head, it saw Zhao Wuji's blade flashing with cold light, already piercing into its body.

"Thud."

In the end, it collapsed under the weight.

Gradually, a black soul ring emerged from its body.

This time, without Qin Xiao's reminder, Zhao Wuji consciously sat cross-legged and guided the soul ring to descend upon his head.

Qin Xiao quietly watched the scene without interruption.

In fact, he had already begun to contemplate whether to seize the opportunity to eliminate the Thousand Ton Ant Emperor brothers, cutting off Tang San's future completely.

Of course.

If he knew that Tang San now only had one martial soul left, he wouldn't think so.

Because Tang San could be considered disabled.

After a long time, Zhao Wuji finally gritted his teeth and completed the process of absorbing the soul ring.

Because the Dark Demon Evil Tiger was too strong, it was very different from ordinary sixty-thousand-year soul beasts.

However, from Zhao Wuji's excited gaze, Qin Xiao could tell that Zhao Wuji had probably gained a lot.

"It worked, my Lord, it worked!"

"Not only did I break through to the rank of Soul Douluo, but my cultivation has also increased by one level. Now I am a level eighty-two Soul Douluo," Zhao Wuji exclaimed excitedly, looking as happy as a child.

If it weren't for the fear of embarrassing himself in front of Qin Xiao, he might have been dancing with joy.

It seems that the Dark Demon Evil Tiger provided quite a bit of soul power, Qin Xiao muttered to himself in his heart, asking Zhao Wuji, "Tell me, what kind of soul skill did you gain?"

"Well, it's a defensive soul skill called Evil God's Protection!" Zhao Wuji said excitedly.

"Evil God's Protection?" Qin Xiao was surprised.

He didn't expect Zhao Wuji to have such good luck.

In fact, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger had two soul skills that Qin Xiao found interesting. One was the Life and Death Arena.

However, the Life and Death Arena was almost impossible to comprehend without attributes such as time and space.

Moreover, even if one comprehended it, would they dare to use it if they weren't strong enough?

If one were a weakling during their juvenile years, entering the Life and Death Arena with others would only lead to an easy first blood for the opponent.

So, although this soul skill was good, it still depended on the person using it.

As for the second soul skill, Evil God's Protection was different.

This was the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's strongest defensive skill, bolstered by the power of the Evil God. In terms of defense, it was slightly inferior to Invincible Golden Body and Unrivaled God Light, but it had an advantage—endurance.

As long as it wasn't broken, with strong enough soul power support, it could last for a long time.

"My Lord, take a look."

Feeling that he hadn't explained clearly enough, Zhao Wuji had already activated his martial soul, summoning his soul rings.

Qin Xiao saw eight soul rings—one yellow, one purple, and six black—appear successively under Zhao Wuji's feet.

Especially the last black soul ring, Qin Xiao could sense a faint aura of evilness emanating from it.

There was no doubt that this soul ring contained a hint of the power of the Evil God.

"Evil God's Protection!"

With a loud shout from Zhao Wuji, the eighth soul ring suddenly enlarged, eventually transforming into a faint black shield that enveloped Zhao Wuji within.

Qin Xiao nodded. "Very good, it has the taste of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger. With this soul skill, even attacks from a Title Douluo wouldn't be able to break through your defense easily."

It had to be said, Evil God's Protection was indeed very powerful.

After all, could a soul skill comparable to a hundred-thousand-year one be weak?

With Zhao Wuji at the level of an eighty-second-ranked Soul Douluo, even an ordinary Title Douluo wouldn't be able to break through the defense of Evil God's Protection immediately.

As for those below the level of a Title Douluo who could break through Evil God's Protection, they were few and far between.

Of course, if there were many opponents, it would be a different story.

However, Zhao Wuji wasn't stupid; he understood the principle of being outnumbered.

When it was time to leave, he would leave.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the record of single-handedly defeating a dozen peers from the Martial Soul Hall and escaping unscathed.

"Hehe, my Lord, without your help, I, Old Zhao, wouldn't have been able to obtain such a powerful soul skill in this lifetime," Zhao Wuji scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly.

"This is your fortune," Qin Xiao said.

Saying that, Qin Xiao waved his hand at Zhao Wuji again. "Old Zhao, step aside for now."

"Alright."

Without hesitation, Zhao Wuji agreed and obediently stood aside.

Then, he followed Qin Xiao's gaze and saw Qin Xiao staring intently at the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger.

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up as he thought of a possibility. "My Lord, could it be that there are soul bones inside this soul beast's body?"

Soul bones?

Qin Xiao cast a disdainful glance at Zhao Wuji. Was this old guy daydreaming?

He just remembered that in the original work, after Tang San killed the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, a mysterious pearl flew out of its body and entered another space.

To be blunt, that pearl was the essence of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, possessing six major attributes: evil, time, space, wind, thunder, and darkness.

Its effects far surpassed those of a soul ring or soul bone.

Even with the accumulation of multiple soul rings and soul bones, they couldn't match the effects of that pearl.

"I hope I won't be disappointed," Qin Xiao thought to himself, extending his palm towards the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger.

Crack!

Purple lightning erupted from Qin Xiao's palm, spanning the void and falling onto the Dark Demon Evil Tiger's body.

In an instant, the broken body of the Dark Demon Evil Tiger turned into ashes.

Plap.

A grape-sized, grayish pearl, undamaged by the thunder, fell down.

"It's real!"

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he reached out, using his soul power to grab the pearl from mid-air.

Just with a light touch, Qin Xiao discovered the extraordinary nature of the pearl.

Among them, powerful forces were pulsating.

"My Lord, what is this?" Zhao Wuji's face was filled with surprise.

The script was different from what he had imagined.

In his imagination, the Dark Demon Evil Tiger should have exploded into a soul bone.

But what was this pearl for? Was it just for decoration?

"This thing has great use," Qin Xiao smiled slightly, satisfied as he put away the pearl.

If used properly, this thing could completely create a protagonist of a world.

This trip wasn't in vain.

"Congratulations, my Lord," Zhao Wuji sincerely felt happy for Qin Xiao.

In his heart, regardless of what treasure Qin Xiao had in his hands, he wouldn't think too much about it.

This trip may have been dangerous, but with his cultivation level rising from seventy-sixth to eighty-second rank and gaining a sixty-thousand-year soul ring that could unleash the power of a hundred-thousand-year soul skill, how could Zhao Wuji not be satisfied?
He was already very satisfied!

"Then let's leave here," Qin Xiao said, turning around and walking towards the direction outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhao Wuji quickly followed.

Then, Qin Xiao's voice came into Zhao Wuji's ears again.

"Old Zhao, go find Zhu Qing and take him back to the academy first."

Zhao Wuji asked, "My Lord, what about you?"

Qin Xiao replied, "I'll go see if I can find any traces of Yiran."
