Chapter 71 Brothers, Finish Them in One Go_2

```

Boom!

The Level 7 Soul Guided Cannon in Ma Rulong's hands displayed a ferocious scene.

A pitch-black beam over a meter thick, carrying an aura of destruction, blasted forth.

It arrived instantaneously in front of the defensive Soul Master.

Crack, crack.

The vast shadow of the shield, like something made of paper, shattered to pieces in a moment.

And that pitch-black energy relentlessly struck the defensive Soul Master, slamming heavily against the shield in his hands.

The pitch-black beam, without losing momentum, continued to push the body of the defensive Soul Master back.

Not until he crashed heavily against the Soul Force Barrier erected by the hundred and eight Soul Masters did it stop.

Yet,

when he fell to the ground, he was already beyond the brink of life and death.

"Boss, that was nothing special, was it? A Level 7 Soul Guided Cannon, that's it?" Mika said, shaking his head in dissatisfaction.

Ma Rulong glanced at him, "What do you know? If I hadn't held back at the last moment, the Dou Ling Battle Team would have been done for today."

Obviously,

he had held back.

"Alright, stop gawking everybody. Brothers, let's end this," Xiao Hongchen said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, everyone aimed their soul cannons at the remaining members of the Dou Ling Battle Team.

"Ah... this..."

The members of the Dou Ling Battle Team in the distance were scared out of their wits.

Those pitch-black cannon barrels were like the Grim Reaper's scythes.

"Wait, we surrender!" Gu Zhu Jian, the captain of the Dou Ling Battle Team, hesitated for a moment before choosing to directly forfeit the match.

This scene reminded him of the previous battle with the Sky Soul Team from Shrek Academy.

After Ma Xiaotao's explosion of power, they still refused to bow their heads in surrender.

And that led to many elite team members suffering casualties, and in the end, they still couldn't escape defeat.

In his view, losing the match and losing teammates was not a wise choice at all.

Surrendering early to minimize the loss was the decision a captain should make.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, Ma Rulong raised his hand, signaling Mika, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen to cease their attack. Then he turned to the referee, "I think you can announce the result now."

The referee heard this and instinctively glanced at the members of the Dou Ling Battle Team, as if asking for confirmation.

It had to be said, Gu Zhu Jian wasn't a sore loser; he did have some responsibility.

After hearing Gu Zhu Jian speak, the referee subtly nodded, "I announce that the match is over. The Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy is the winner!"

Victory!

Satisfaction spread across everyone's faces.

They had moved one step closer to the championship.

Then Ma Rulong turned his gaze toward the Star Luo Royal Team, a provocative smile on his face.

Xiao Hongchen was even more arrogant, stretching out his hand in a throat-slitting gesture.

"They're too arrogant!" a tall member of the Star Luo Royal Team beside Xu Jiujiu burst out in anger upon seeing this.

A mysterious glimmer flickered in Xu Jiujiu's eyes, "Don't be hasty, the match today is over, and our next encounter will be soon."

...

After a day of competition, Qin Xiao went nowhere else but straight back to the Imperial City Grand Hotel.

"Should my performance today be enough to catch the Body Sect's attention?"

"Logically, they should come looking for me. When they do, I can certainly play my hand."

Qin Xiao sat on the bed, his eyes sparkling with light.

During this period, Qin Xiao had carefully analyzed the situation.

The Sun-Moon Empire could indeed allow him to grow rapidly, but other forces also had their own advantages.

Like the Body Sect, the Holy Spirit Cult and so on.

Only children make choices.

He was no child, so he wanted everything.

```

By then... integrating the Sun-Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Body Sect, won't they shatter Shrek Academy into pieces?

So, showing his Spiritual Martial Soul today, Qin Xiao did it deliberately.

His purpose was to show it to the people from the Body Sect.

Fortunately.

Qin Xiao didn't have to wait long.

About ten minutes later, Qin Xiao sensed someone knocking on the door outside.

Dong dong dong.

A thought crossed Qin Xiao's mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "They're here."

But the smile on his lips quickly faded.

After all, he couldn't let people think he had ill intentions, right?

Yes, even if he really did think so, he couldn't show it.

Opening the door, Qin Xiao saw two men outside whose appearances were ordinary, but with very peculiar builds.

One had an exceptionally thick right arm, which Qin Xiao was willing to dub the "Golden Right Hand," a level of development unreachable without decades of celibacy.

The other was slim with an abnormally large head, resembling a bobblehead doll.

Indeed, this reminded Qin Xiao of a saying, "Big head, big head, don't worry about rain..."

It had to be said, the Body Sect might be powerful, but some of its disciples truly looked odd.

To put it bluntly... some seemed downright deformed.

While Qin Xiao was sizing up the two men, they were also assessing Qin Xiao.

After the burly-armed man made sure it was Qin Xiao, he turned his head to the big-headed man and said, "Big brother, no mistake here. This is the kid, let's just capture him."

Qin Xiao: "..."

Is it really okay for you to blatantly state your intentions like that?

Am I not even considered a person to you?

"Cough cough, how reckless of us. Haven't I told you? Even if you have intentions, it's fine to think them but don't make them apparent."

Compared to the burly-armed man, the big-headed man was much calmer, and then he gave Qin Xiao a smile that one might describe as anything but warm, "Young man, don't be nervous. We mean no harm, we just want to have a chat with you. Why don't we talk inside your room?"

Qin Xiao, on the other hand, remained very vigilant, "We can talk right here. But I can't guarantee when I might close the door."

Hm?

The burly-armed man raised his eyebrow upon hearing this.

He got the warning from Qin Xiao, meaning if they didn't explain themselves or satisfy him, Qin Xiao would immediately shut the door and stop talking to them.

"Heh, quite the interesting little fellow."

The big-headed man Lang Ya was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lang Ya, and this is my brother Yu Tao. We're from the Body Sect, which I believe you've heard of."

The Body Sect?

A well-known name indeed.

Of course, Qin Xiao wasn't going to show it, but pretended to have heard of them without being familiar.

"It seems I guessed right."

Lang Ya blinked, a confident smile crossing his lips, and continued, "Actually, finding you wasn't a coincidence. My brother and I have observed you for a while. If I'm not mistaken, your first Martial Soul is your eyes, spiritual attribute, your first soul skill is akin to Spiritual Detection, and you can even share it with your teammates."

Qin Xiao feigned surprise, "How did you know that?"

Lang Ya smiled slightly and said, "Because we also possess self martial souls, so of course we're familiar with you. Let me get straight to the point. Our purpose here is simple, we want you to come home."

Here it came... Qin Xiao's heart stirred, these two Body Sect fellows hadn't disappointed his expectations.

However.

I'm sorry, but your cultivation level is too weak. I cannot go with you yet.

And... now is not the time.

Qin Xiao was very clear, the easier it was for the Body Sect to get him, the less they would value him.

He would either not join the Body Sect at all, or if he did, he would have to be an undisputed core member.

Qin Xiao immediately furrowed his brows and coldly refused, "Sorry, my home is not in some Body Sect!"

Having said that, he was about to close the door.

But Yu Tao grabbed the door with his thick right hand, "Kid, surely you know? The Body Sect is the home of all Soul Masters with self martial souls. Since your Martial Soul is your eyes, then you are part of the Body Sect. Since we have found you, it is natural for us to bring you home."

Qin Xiao's expression turned cold, "Get lost!"

That's right.

He needed to act dismissive towards them.

Only by doing so would they try every method to get him to join.

Lang Ya said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. First off, I admit the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy is a good place. But it might not be suitable for you. Our Body Sect is most familiar with self martial souls. You might become a good Soul Master in the Sun-Moon Empire, but you won't become a powerful Soul Master."
