Soul Guidance Technology Combined with Martial Soul: Chi Ping's Strongest Strike
Chapter 88 Soul Guidance Technology Combined with Martial Soul: Chi Ping's Strongest Strike
The council chamber of the Papal Palace was built to emphasize its majesty, covering an area of over a thousand square meters. It is lavishly decorated with gold and jewels, and the walls are covered with magnificent reliefs. The papal throne, unique to the pope, sits prominently at the front, high above.
I admire your courage.
Bibi Dong sat high in the main seat, looking down at those who came to pay their respects. Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood beside her.
Chi Ping stood in the center of the hall, looking up at Bibi Dong, his neck a little sore.
—Let's finish this quickly. Do all those in high positions really enjoy being looked up to? When I become a principal, I definitely won't set up such a high platform…
"Your Holiness, what do you think of my proposal?"
Bibi Dong did not answer immediately. She stroked the scepter, which symbolized the Pope's authority, trying to see through Chi Ping's heart. She wanted to know why Chi Ping could so easily let go of the grudges of the Spirit Hall.
Two titled Douluo led a team to surround and kill them. Although no serious consequences were caused, but... is it so easy to let it go?
If it weren't for Chen Xin's companionship, Chi Ping and his companions would have perished long ago.
"I'm still considering it," Bibi Dong said, her tone authoritative. "I'd like to know your reasons, and what benefits the Spirit Hall would gain if we agreed to your proposal?"
"Hmm..." Chi Ping thought for a moment, "Are you all at ease?"
"Oh?"
Chi Ping shrugged. "With my abilities, no one on the continent who knows the situation would feel at ease if I took sides with any faction. I also don't want to commit more killings because of factional infighting, so I won't befriend any faction, nor will I make enemies with any faction. I just want to stay in my academy; all conflicts are none of my concern."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, agreeing with Chi Ping's point of view.
Joining a powerful force often means being caught in situations beyond one's control, and she herself was no exception.
Chi Ping's methods will inevitably be put on the negotiating table, and at that point, whether or not to use them will no longer be up to him.
Furthermore, given Chi Ping's abilities, unless he harbors ambitions to conquer the entire continent, such as the Spirit Hall, no informed power would tolerate him.
Even if one has the means to restrain him, if Chi Ping does not submit wholeheartedly, the forces that could have tolerated him will be the first to eliminate him.
However, the current situation is that the Spirit Hall has not yet fully figured out the principles behind Chi Ping's methods, let alone any way to counter them. Moreover, Chi Ping wisely chose to remain neutral.
Therefore, Ikehira was able to live a peaceful life, and even live quite well.
Bibi Dongdao said, "I can agree to your desire to remain neutral and resolve the feud with my Spirit Hall. But I need you to prove that you are qualified."
She didn't want Chi Ping to be killed by some unknown nobody due to some accident, and to use his methods before dying, which would ultimately bring disaster to the mainland and the Spirit Hall.
Chi Ping nodded in agreement.
Peace presupposes having strength that others cannot violate. The means by which mycelium devours things are its trump cards and deterrence; Chi Ping also needs to reach a certain standard in conventional combat power to obtain the qualification for neutrality.
"A reasonable request. There's a barren mountain ten miles east of the city; I'll be waiting for you at the summit."
Underground, silver mushrooms sprouted and then disappeared, and Chi Ping's figure vanished instantly in the silvery light of the space.
"This is..." Ghost frowned.
"Spatial teleportation." Bibi Dong stood up and said, "Chi Ping is indeed quite capable. Let's go too."
The three used their respective skills to transform into streaks of light and head out of the city.
Deep within the Papal Palace, in the Elders' Hall, before the statue of the angel, Qian Daoliu raised his head in confusion.
……
By anticipating the location and teleporting five times, Chi Ping only took less than 3 seconds.
After waiting for a minute and a half, Bibi Dong and the other two appeared in front of the pool.
"Amazing speed," Bibi Dong said in a deep voice.
The speed and frequency of this teleportation alone are enough to prove Chi Ping's strength; at the very least, there aren't many people left who can kill him.
"Your Excellencies, how would you like to assess my strength?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at Bibi Dong, who said, "Two things. First, withstand the pressure of my soul power. Second, break through Yue Guan's defenses."
Chi Ping cupped his hands in greeting, "May I ask how His Majesty Chrysanthemum Douluo will arrange his defenses?"
"You should withstand His Holiness the Pope's soul power pressure first," Yue Guan said, but then he paused, "Don't worry, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you."
A ghostly glance.
He was somewhat surprised that his old friend treated Chi Ping with unexpected kindness.
"Please do so," Ikehira said.
Bibi Dong nodded, and the air around her body distorted slightly as a massive surge of soul power erupted. The initial attack was a Soul Emperor-level soul power pressure.
The pool remained unchanged in color, its surging soul power and tenacious blood and qi resisting the invading forces.
The pressure of her soul power suddenly intensified, and Bibi Dong jumped directly to the Soul Saint level. She didn't even maintain this state for ten seconds before raising the pressure of her soul power to the Soul Douluo level.
Chi Pingping looked at Bibi Dong and the other two with a sense of indifference, as if saying, "Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain."
Bibi Dong continued to intensify the pressure of soul power, and soon reached a critical point.
Wow, that's really strong!
With a sigh, Chi Ping gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Alright. You've passed."
Just as she was about to take the final step, Bibi Dong indifferently withdrew her soul power.
The sudden rise and fall, the intense pressure changes nearly made Chi Ping vomit blood.
Clearing his throat twice, Chi Ping cupped his hands in greeting, "Please, Senior Yue Guan, make your move."
Yue Guan stepped forward and asked, "Kid, do you need to rest for a bit?"
Chi Ping shook his head, "No need, please feel free to help, senior. I want to live a peaceful life, so I can't let you off easy this time."
"Great!" Yue Guan exclaimed.
A stunningly beautiful chrysanthemum appeared in my hand. The chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple, and each petal looked fluffy and exceptionally cute. The central stamen rose more than half a foot above the petals, and the tip of the stamen shimmered with a faint golden light.
Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings rose and fell, radiating a suppressed aura.
"Sixth Soul Skill - Qirong Tongtian, Indestructible!"
The martial spirit emitted golden light, which flowed like water and transformed into a golden protective shield.
Chi Ping took a deep breath and assumed a horse stance.
Arm yourself!
The left arm detached from the body and changed shape, revealing hidden metal and jade pieces that rearranged under the pull of mycelium, and the soul guide inscriptions were reconnected and reconstructed.
A dragon-scale claw covered Chi Ping's right arm.
Gold, blue, purple, and brown—the four elements, under the guidance of the Soul Guiding Inscription, enhance strength, speed, and defense.
Yue Guan's eyes showed surprise, and Bibi Dong and Gui Mei also showed strange expressions, but neither of them spoke up to stop them.
Dragon Scale's right arm is tucked to his waist to gather power.
Qi and blood, and soul power surge.
Six Styles - Finger Pistol - Dragon Fist!
Step forward, twist your waist, and throw a punch.
"break!"
Elements, blood and qi, and soul power are merely the driving forces. This six-form technique ultimately manifests only as extreme power and sharpness!
Using soul guidance technology to reconstruct the Demon King's armed forces and integrate elemental power, with his body bearing the burden of blood and soul power, this is the strongest attack that Chi Ping can currently unleash!
The Dragon Claw Fist shattered the golden light shield like a needle puncturing a balloon.
What?!
Even Yue Guan couldn't believe that his defenses could be broken so easily!
Chi Ping's punch almost reached the Contra realm!
Yue Guan almost thought he was going to die, and Bibi Dong and Gui Mei almost made a move as well.
But the arm didn't aim at Yue Guan, and it just missed him, leaving a huge tear on the ground from the shockwave.
Three years ago, Chi Ping sacrificed an arm to unleash a Soul Saint attack while still a Soul Master, forcibly killing Shi Nian. Three years later, Chi Ping raised his limit to the peak of Soul Saint, infinitely close to Soul Douluo!
The mycelium and soul guide plates that formed the armor have turned to dust and gone with the wind, revealing the muscular, yellow arms.
Back then, this move was called a death-defying technique; now, it's Ikebe's decisive move!
Chi Ping turned around, "Senior, you flatter me!"
