Chapter 38 The Bet
Seeing that Qin Mu had revealed her secret in one sentence, Shui Bing'er was stunned, and then looked at Qin Mu with some wariness.
As a control-type Soul Master, she has always been required by both her family elders and her academy teachers to diligently practice her spiritual strength.
Shui Bing'er's family doesn't have a distraction control method like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but they know that if they want to become an excellent and powerful control-type Soul Master, then improving their spiritual strength is essential.
This is also why Shui Bing'er, at such a young age, was able to become the next captain of Tianshui Academy.
In terms of control alone, there are probably few people in the same level who can compare to her.
But now, Shui Bing'er's greatest reliance has been exposed by the young man in front of her, which makes Shui Bing'er wonder about Qin Mu's true purpose.
"Who are you? And why should I make this deal with you?"
Shui Bing'er questioned Qin Mu coldly, but Qin Mu remained calm and raised his right hand.
Without releasing his Spirit, Qin Mu exhibited the same spiritual fluctuations as Shui Bing'er had just experienced.
The difference is that Shui Bing'er's spiritual fluctuations are due to her inability to perfectly utilize her spiritual power, resulting in spiritual leakage.
The spiritual fluctuations emanating from Qin Mu were fluctuations that Qin Mu himself manipulated and released, a fact that Shui Bing'er could clearly perceive.
Her large, sapphire-blue eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Qin Mu in disbelief.
She simply couldn't believe that the boy in front of her, who looked even younger than herself, had a stronger control over his spiritual power than she did!
unless.
"Could it be that your Spirit excels at control? Or that your Spirit itself can provide a high level of spiritual power?"
Qin Mu remained silent, only gently shaking his head, and a hammer slowly materialized in his right hand.
"Unfortunately, I am a power-attack type Soul Master, but my attack moves require the use of spiritual power."
"So I just wanted to ask how you improve your spiritual strength."
"In exchange, I'm willing to share my method of controlling spiritual power with you."
Qin Mu never hesitated to share his self-created soul skills and control techniques.
In his view, whether it's creating your own soul skills or other insights, without a certain level of understanding and comprehension, even if Qin Mu guides you step by step, it will be in vain.
Just like the main textbooks for three years of high school, which contain all the content of the college entrance examination, yet not everyone gets into Tsinghua or Peking University.
However, after Qin Mu finished speaking, Shui Bing'er's expression became even more serious.
Someone younger than me, and even a power-attack type Soul Master, yet possesses higher spiritual strength?!
This only fueled Shui Bing'er's competitive spirit.
"Your conditions are very good, but I think we should try a different approach?"
Shui Bing'er looked intently at Qin Mu, "How about we have a match?"
"If you win, I will tell you how to cultivate your spiritual strength."
"If you lose, then tell me your insights on cultivating spiritual power."
"Would you dare to bet?"
Shui Bing'er proudly raised her chin, clearly very confident in herself.
However, she was facing Qin Mu, who was more confident.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu simply smiled.
"You can't beat me."
Are you scared?
The more arrogant Qin Mu became, the more annoyed Shui Bing'er felt.
"Then let's try a different way of competing."
Qin Mu took two steps back and stood about five meters away from Shui Bing'er.
"I'm standing right here. Try to control me."
"Freeze me or use your repulsive soul skill."
"If I can move even one step, you win."
"how?"
Qin Mu did not want to hurt Shui Bing'er, but Shui Bing'er's repeated provocations made Qin Mu a little angry.
Since that's the case, let's show her the difference!
"Arrogant!"
A hint of anger welled up on Shui Bing'er's face.
As her Spirit was released, a phantom blue shadow appeared on her body, followed by the activation of Shui Bing'er's first soul skill.
Frozen!
A chill swept over him, and Qin Mu's entire body was frozen in ice.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er immediately felt that Qin Mu was just a child who only knew how to talk big.
However, Shui Bing'er did not intend to continue to teach Qin Mu a lesson. Just as she was about to step forward and push the ice block that had frozen Qin Mu a step, Qin Mu shattered first.
Under Shui Bing'er's slightly surprised gaze, Qin Mu looked at her with a faint smile.
He's got some skills after all!
Seeing Qin Mu break free of her ice seal so easily, Shui Bing'er spared no effort and unleashed her first soul skill at full power, sending an even stronger chill through the air.
However, the ice seal shattered before it could fully reach Qin Mu.
"How is that possible!"
Shui Bing'er stared at Qin Mu in shock, unable to believe that her full-force ice seal couldn't even freeze Qin Mu in one go.
It's important to know that the most powerful aspect of her first soul skill lies in its instantaneous casting and absolute control.
Even if someone's strength is a whole level higher than yours, they will still be frozen for a second under this soul skill.
This is the advantage that the powerful beast Spirit Ice Phoenix brings to her!
But when facing Qin Mu, she couldn't even freeze him completely.
There is only one explanation for this situation: Qin Mu's strength far surpasses Shui Bing'er's, and even exceeds that of a four-ring Soul Sect.
This was something Shui Bing'er could never have imagined.
The boy before her had a youthful face, looking no more than twelve years old. How could he possibly possess such formidable strength?!
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er was not discouraged at all; instead, a strong fighting spirit surged in her heart.
"Junior, I won't hold back from now on. You'd better watch out!"
Qin Mu's strength aroused Shui Bing'er's competitive spirit, but fearing that Qin Mu would get hurt, Shui Bing'er still reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu remained standing in place, his smile confident and sunny.
He nodded slightly to Shui Bing'er, signaling her to make her move.
Shui Bing'er closed her eyes and used all her soul power.
The third spirit ring lit up, and in order to enhance the effect of the spirit skill, Shui Bing'er once again combined her spiritual power.
Unlike when she fought Dugu Yan, this time Shui Bing'er increased the repulsive force against the ice ring.
An invisible ripple once again emanated from Shui Bing'er's body, and bright white light spots gradually appeared on the top of her head.
When the bright white of the light spot reaches its peak, it is the moment when the resistance to the ice ring is at its strongest, and it is also the moment when Shui Bing'er releases her power.
"What happened?"
Shui Bing'er's use of such a powerful soul skill naturally caused a commotion among the people in the rest room, who rushed out of the rest room and came outside.
The most at ease was naturally Ling Yuan. She only came out for a symbolic look before sitting down in a spot on the stands to watch the excitement.
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who were standing to the side, were unaware of what was going on, but seeing Ling Yuan's calm and composed demeanor, they paused for a moment before coming to her side.
Seeing Shui Bing'er using her soul skill with all her might, the girls from Tianshui Academy couldn't help but look anxious.
However, seeing that Qin Mu was just standing there and hadn't even released his Spirit, she was relieved to know that Shui Bing'er was safe.
Just then, the bright white color on Shui Bing'er's head reached its peak.
