278: Xuan-level advanced soul handprint, directly maxed out!

Cao Ying was stunned at first, then reacted, "How did you know I could use the Soul Handprint?"

"Now is not the time to explain this. Since I just saved your life, teach it to me."

Lin Xiu spoke quickly.

Now that he possessed four types of Heavenly Flames, the Fire Lotus he condensed had immense power.

Even if Old Mu Gu was a Dou Venerate, Lin Xiu was confident he could severely injure him.

As long as Old Mu Gu could be injured, Lin Xiu still had many Fighting Skills, and with Xiong Zhan's help, resolving him wouldn't be a particularly big problem.

However, Old Mu Gu, as a Dou Venerate, wasn't foolish; he certainly wouldn't stand there and let Lin Xiu blow him up.

If Xiong Zhan were to restrain him, Xiong Zhan would also be implicated and injured.

Therefore, the moment he saw Cao Ying, Lin Xiu immediately had an idea, and he also wanted to learn this move.

Since he couldn't learn it at the Pill Tower, he would get it from someone who had learned it.

Cao Ying didn't think too much, only assuming Lin Xiu wanted to use this move to deal with the opponent.

Because she knew Lin Xiu's Soul had already reached the Spirit Realm, if this power were combined with an attack method, it could indeed injure the opponent.

After all, this was Soul Power, completely different from Dou Qi.

"But even if I teach you now, you won't be able to learn it in a short time."

Cao Ying felt that Lin Xiu seemed to have overlooked a very crucial issue.

If one were to discuss the rank of this Soul Handprint, it wasn't particularly high; it was merely a Profound High-Rank.

However, this was a method of attacking with Soul Power. Someone who had never encountered it before could not master it in a short time by rashly trying it.

Moreover, this Soul Handprint was divided into three forms in total. Even after learning it for so many years, she had only mastered the first two forms.

Under Lin Xiu's constant urging, Cao Ying relayed the Cultivation method to him.

Lin Xiu closed his eyes, listening carefully, but his actual attention remained on the panel.

Perhaps genuinely wanting to help, Cao Ying continuously offered some of her Cultivation insights while relaying the information.

"The extreme of Soul... guarding the Heavenly Spirit..."

Lin Xiu followed Cao Ying's guidance and quickly began to practice, coordinating his fingers to change the hand seals.

At a certain moment.

[You have successfully learned a new ability — Soul Handprint]

[Soul Handprint, Profound High-Rank, a Soul attack Fighting Skill...]

"Max it out for me directly!"

The moment the words appeared, Lin Xiu roared in his heart.

The next second, the Soul Handprint was upgraded to Lv9, and a large amount of information fragments about the Soul Handprint flooded into his mind.

Cao Ying watched the changes in Lin Xiu's hand movements, completely stunned.

His originally somewhat sluggish fingers moved faster and faster, gradually forming afterimages.

At the same time, a surge of Soul Power continuously circled near Lin Xiu's head.

Feeling the change in that power, Cao Ying's mind was severely impacted.

She had practiced it and knew very well that this change in power was clearly the operational route of the Soul Handprint.

"This... how is this possible? He just listened to me for a while, and he actually mastered it?"

Cao Ying found it hard to accept. She had never seen such a person even in recorded books; how could such a person exist in reality?

Lin Xiu opened his eyes, glanced at Cao Ying, and chuckled, "Thank you."

Then, he put Zi Yan down.

"Xiong Zhan, I'm here to help you!"

With a loud shout, Lin Xiu's voice had just spread when his figure appeared on the distant battlefield.

He went straight behind Old Mu Gu.

"A mere Dou Sect. If I let you hit me, how could you injure this old man?"

Old Mu Gu didn't put Lin Xiu in his eyes at all; his attention was mostly still on Xiong Zhan, his opponent in front of him.

At this moment, Xiong Zhan had already transformed into his true form.

Even as a Dou Venerate, Old Mu Gu dared not underestimate fighting an Eighth-Rank Demonic Beast's true form with a human body.

At this moment, Lin Xiu had already thrown a punch.

"Wrath of the Sky!"

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a ferocious smile appeared at the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth.

Treating me as an ordinary Dou Sect will be your biggest regret!

On his fist, a gray, Chaos-like Origin Qi emerged.

This power seemed to resonate with heaven and earth. As soon as it appeared, the Dou Qi elements between heaven and earth boiled.

Wind and thunder roared, the ground shook and trees swayed, flames rose, and water vapor appeared.

Boom!

As if carrying the wrath of heaven and earth, a punch slammed into Old Mu Gu's proud defense.

Hiss!

With a subtle soft sound, the defense, like paper, shattered under this terrifyingly powerful fist.

Old Mu Gu's expression changed abruptly, "This is not an ordinary Fighting Skill!"

But it was too late to react now. His body was flung by the immense force, uncontrollably stumbling forward.

"Perfect timing!"

Xiong Zhan roared, his twenty-meter-long black giant tail swung, instantly tearing through the Void Realm, carrying a wailing wind, and fiercely slamming into Old Mu Gu's chest.

Boom!

Heaven and earth shook violently, as if a hole had been broken, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

Terrifying Qi waves surged, spreading outwards like a ring.

Old Mu Gu turned into a black dot and fell towards the ground.

The earth visibly shook violently, and then, with Old Mu Gu's landing spot as the center, a circle of dust and mist surged outwards.

"Brother Lin, was that an Earth Intermediate Fighting Skill you used just now?"

To break a Dou Venerate's defense with merely the strength of a Nine-star Dou Sect, this was absolutely not something that could be achieved by brute force alone. Xiong Zhan's tone carried a hint of surprise.

"It's Earth High-Rank."

Lin Xiu corrected him.

"Ah?"

Xiong Zhan was astonished, and his two large eyes immediately glowed with fervent light.

If he could learn this move, wouldn't fighting this Dou Venerate in front of him be as simple as playing?

"This old man underestimated you."

Old Mu Gu's figure reappeared, his hair disheveled, his clothes covered in torn marks, and a clear indentation on his chest.

If he weren't a Dou Venerate, Lin Xiu's attack just now could have severely injured him.

Not having suffered a loss for a long time, Old Mu Gu's eyes were now bloodshot. He stared intently at Lin Xiu, wishing he could devour him alive.

"Old fellow, your vitality is quite tenacious. You must be feeling very uncomfortable after taking a tail whip from me."

Xiong Zhan swung his tail, full of confidence in his own strength. The opponent's defense was first broken by Lin Xiu's surprise attack. Although he looked fine now, his internal condition must be very bad.

"Hmph, a beast is a beast. Even if it advances to the Eighth-Rank, it can't change that fact."

Old Mu Gu glanced at Xiong Zhan, his peripheral vision carrying apprehension as he locked onto Lin Xiu's figure.

Being able to have his defense broken by Lin Xiu was something he couldn't have imagined before.

This is just this one time; next time, this old man won't give him this chance.

Old Mu Gu murmured in his heart and actively launched an attack on Xiong Zhan.

As long as he dealt with this stupid bear first, then he could suppress Lin Xiu with his Realm.

"Brother Lin, I'll distract him from the front. You continue to look for opportunities. With the same cooperation as just now, two more times, and I guarantee this old fellow will be dead!"

Xiong Zhan met Old Mu Gu. After getting a taste of success, his attitude towards Lin Xiu's ability to help had undergone a huge change.

"Okay."

Lin Xiu agreed, his figure becoming ethereal, moving to another position as if teleporting.

And at his previous position, the distorted outline of the Void Realm had only just appeared.

"How can his speed be so fast?"

His sneak attack failed, and Old Mu Gu cursed under his breath. Constantly guarding against a Nine-star Dou Sect made him, a Dou Venerate, feel extremely humiliated.

But Lin Xiu's attack burst could not be understood by an ordinary Dou Sect; he had to guard against it.
