Chapter 19 I've met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius
For example, some fire-attribute Soul Masters can also use this characteristic to condense the flames in their hands into swords for close combat.
Alternatively, one could exhale flames, which, through spiritual concentration, could achieve the effect of a ray.
In this way, these most basic soul skills do not need to waste their own soul rings, and they can choose some more practical soul rings.
This method can also be used by weapon Spirit Masters like Qin Mu, as well as some attribute-less beast Spirit Masters, to enhance their close combat abilities.
For example, in the battle between Qin Mu and Yan just now, Yan's attacks were slow to land on Qin Mu.
The reason for this was that Qin Mu forcefully released his soul power through his palm, turning it into a tangible attack.
Soul power is a controllable force within a Soul Master's body, and it is not only manifested through soul skills.
With the aid of spiritual power, soul power can be released powerfully to achieve the purpose of attack and defense.
This is the conclusion Qin Mu has reached through years of research.
As Qin Mu walked towards him step by step, Yan was filled with immense fear, but his body was completely paralyzed.
That attack just now not only shattered Yan's offensive, but also shattered his pride and confidence.
He couldn't believe that among his peers, there was someone who was so powerful.
Suddenly, Yan felt a hand pressing on his chest.
"I was wrong! I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!"
Faced with Yan's pleas for mercy, Qin Mu simply shook his head.
"Yan, some things, once done, should be punished."
"You weren't wrong, you just lost."
"If I were the one who lost, I'm afraid my fate wouldn't be much better than yours."
Under Yan's horrified gaze, Qin Mu's soul power slowly condensed and finally erupted in his hand!
As soul power erupted from his hand, Yan spat out another mouthful of blood. At the same time, Qin Mu felt a gentle soul power push his hand away.
"Sigh, you child, how can you be so bloodthirsty?"
A sigh came, and Ling Yuan appeared in front of Qin Mu at some point, carrying the dying Yan in her hand.
"Sister Ling Yuan, how did you get here so quickly?"
Seeing Ling Yuan approach, Hu Liena, fearing that she would punish Qin Mu, immediately went to Qin Mu's side.
"If I don't come, am I supposed to just watch Qin Mu kill Yan?"
Hu Liena glanced at Yan with a complicated look in her eyes. Although Yan was indeed in the wrong this time, they had spent so much time together and were considered friends.
Seeing him in this miserable state, Hu Liena didn't know what to say.
"Sister Ling Yuan, you know my personality. He is, after all, a member of our Spirit Hall Academy. How could I possibly kill him?"
Upon seeing Ling Yuan arrive, Qin Mu gently clapped his hands.
"However, I usually give people two chances when I do things."
"I will teach the first person who offends me a lesson they will never forget."
"But if he dares to do it again, I will definitely not give him a third chance."
Qin Mu's expression was calm, but his words were fierce, and the threat in his words was self-evident. Even Ling Yuan and Hu Liena beside him couldn't help but shudder at this moment.
"I'll take Yan to the academy's infirmary first. You two wait for me at the academy gate."
Ling Yuan, who was struggling to breathe, frowned slightly. After saying something to Qin Mu and the other person, she left with Yan.
"Sister Nana, do you think I went a little too far?"
The two walked towards the school gate, during which Qin Mu suddenly spoke up and asked Hu Liena a question.
"Hmm? I think there might be a little bit. After all, we're classmates..."
Hu Liena has a somewhat gentle personality, and the fact that her classmate was injured this time made her feel a little sorry for him.
"Sister Nana, actually many people are just like dogs."
"If you don't teach this dog a lesson after it bares its teeth at you, it will definitely bare its teeth at you again next time, and it might even bite you."
"People are no exception. If someone thinks you're easy to bully, you'll be subjected to endless bullying."
"At this point, you have to be ruthless and make them fully realize the reality."
"A single punch can ward off a hundred more!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena frowned slightly, pondering Qin Mu's words.
Indeed, this whole thing started with Yan provoking Qin Mu, and Qin Mu initially didn't want to argue with him.
Instead of getting along harmoniously with Yan, Yan took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from behind.
If Qin Mu hadn't attacked Yan this time, Hu Liena felt that, given Yan's personality, he would definitely have come looking for trouble with Qin Mu again.
Doesn't this correspond to what Qin Mu said?
Thinking of this, Hu Liena suddenly felt that Yan wasn't so pitiful after all.
With her brows relaxed, Hu Liena looked at Qin Mu, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Not only is he incredibly powerful, but he also has such a clear understanding of things. He's truly likable!
On the other side, in the medical room of the Spirit Hall Academy.
Ling Yuan casually sat on a pristine white chair, watching Yan being treated by a healing-type Soul Master, and casually asked, "Is his injury serious?"
"Fortunately. His injuries avoided all vital organs, and his internal organs and Spirit were almost completely unharmed."
"In other words, he only suffered superficial injuries."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan raised an eyebrow, her gaze suddenly becoming somewhat strange.
At this moment, Yan also woke up after receiving treatment, but the pain all over his body was almost unbearable for him.
"Yan, although the teachers at the academy also think highly of you, and you are a genius on par with the Xie Yue siblings."
"But I still have to warn you, don't try to make a move on Qin Mu again."
Yan turned his head with difficulty, looked at the indifference in Ling Yuan's eyes, and gave a bitter smile, "I understand."
Yan closed his eyes in anguish, his grief written all over his face.
This defeat was a devastating blow to him. Facing someone with ten levels less soul power than himself, he couldn't even force out the other person's Spirit.
"I'm not warning you, I'm advising you."
"Because you are no match for him at all."
"Qin Mu has held back a lot in this battle."
Upon hearing Ling Yuan's words, Yan ignored the pain in his body and looked up at Ling Yuan, only to find that she had already disappeared.
Yan closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.
Upon discovering that his internal organs were completely unharmed, Yan's eyes were filled with resentment and shock.
Yan knew perfectly well how terrifying Qin Mu's final move was.
That move was so powerful that it could even displace one's internal organs, meaning one would have to stay in bed for at least a month.
If the previous battle had shattered Yan's confidence, then realizing that Qin Mu had held back also caused any remaining resentment towards Qin Mu to disappear.
If Qin Mu truly intended to kill, killing me would probably be an easy thing for him.
If I were to be so foolish as to provoke Qin Mu again, I would not have suffered any injustice even if I died.
"Heh, a genius?"
"Only Qin Mu is a true genius..."
