Chapter 2538 - 2032: Dominant Skill: Soul Control Technique!

The first update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

With a heart full of anticipation, Qin Fang dared not hesitate even a bit...

Even though this is the Nine Serenities Forbidden Lands, not a forgiving place, the more the environment is like this, the more powerful and special skills one can acquire. What kind of skill this red skill book can produce becomes even more significant.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Fang immediately used the Scouting Skill on this red skill book...

After a burst of dazzling red light, the skill book gradually revealed its true form, and the ancient characters on it became very clear.

"Soul Control Technique!"

Qin Fang had some research into these ancient characters and read the words on the skill book immediately, but at the same time felt very strange, "What kind of skill is this?"

However, Qin Fang wouldn't waste time, and he immediately tapped the skill book and chose to learn it.

This is a red skill book, indicating that this skill is quite extraordinary... and it doesn't conflict with any skills Qin Fang already possesses, so he learned it without the slightest hesitation!

A red stream of light flashed, and Qin Fang's skill list now included a Soul Control Technique skill.

Below were some small characters providing a simple introduction to the skill, and Qin Fang threw himself wholeheartedly into learning and understanding it... This skill was definitely complex, and he wanted to comprehend it thoroughly as soon as possible so that he could use it when needed, maybe even to unexpected effect.

He didn't realize it until he looked, and what he saw made Qin Fang jump in shock...

"No wonder this skill is a red skill... It's just too domineering!"

After Qin Fang got a simple understanding of the function of this Soul Control Technique skill, he couldn't help but be astonished and exclaimed.

Even a light, drifting glance swept across Pang Sihai, who was staring at him in a daze... Pang Sihai immediately reacted as if a very dangerous fierce beast was watching him, and his body subconsciously shivered, gazing at Qin Fang with extreme astonishment.

Fortunately, by then, Qin Fang's gaze had already shifted away...

Otherwise, Pang Sihai would surely have suspected that Qin Fang was plotting something against him... In fact, after learning about this Soul Control Technique skill, such a thought did flicker in Qin Fang's mind.

Soul Control Technique, just the name tells you it has something to do with "controlling souls."

But what kind of soul does this "Soul Control" control?

Actually, this "soul" refers to the souls of humans or spirit beasts...

Not to mention human souls, as everyone possesses three Hun and seven Po, but as for spirit beasts... They have significant differences from ordinary beasts: they evolve from uncomprehending beasts to Spirit Beast Level, which is akin to a process of evolution, giving rise to a "beast soul," similar to the human three Hun and seven Po.

The Soul Control Technique is a dreadful skill directed at these souls...

Using this skill can forcibly control the souls of humans or spirit beasts, thereby controlling their bodies, thoughts, and everything else... In this respect, it's somewhat similar to the Beast Mastery skill Qin Fang possesses.

However, the Beast Mastery skill only allows the handling of some wild beasts, and even managing spirit beasts presents certain difficulties... At least, before Qin Fang's strength completely surpasses the spirit beasts he handles, this skill is quite chicken-ribbed.

But the Soul Control Technique is completely different.

This is a very domineering coercive skill that can be applied to anyone or any spirit beast... Success rates are naturally influenced by the opponent's strength, physical condition, willpower, and other factors.

That is to say, if Qin Fang uses this Soul Control Technique on someone, as long as the opponent's strength is lower than Qin Fang's, or if they are willing, or if they have sustained severe injuries, rendering their resistance weak, Qin Fang can almost certainly control them.

In terms of realms, Pang Sihai's strength is slightly stronger than Qin Fang's.

But if Qin Fang really wanted to deal with him, he could completely incapacitate him, and then use this soul control technique... The consequences would be obvious: one of the Evil Sect's Three Heroes, the Poison Demon Pang Sihai would be no more, and Pang Sihai would become Qin Fang's servant.

After considering it, Qin Fang decided against doing so...

Despite standing in opposition, after previous encounters, Qin Fang felt this Poison Demon wasn't that distasteful, and naturally, he didn't want to turn him into a "zombie," a person without a soul.

"Soul Control Technique... Demon Sect people, it seems like you're out of luck!"

With this skill, Qin Fang suddenly recalled his own goals.

Besides the Poison Demon on the Evil Sect's side, there were also Evil Sword Shi Qingfeng and Blood Arrow Fu Hongyun... Qin Fang didn't plan to spare them, and should he encounter them, he would eliminate them to gain some experience points for himself, and also raise the level and proficiency of the Soul Control Technique.

However, regarding the Demon Sect, Qin Fang felt there was no need to eliminate them all...

The Blood Demon Sect, an enemy of his Qin Family, was a sect that Qin Fang absolutely had to eradicate... Unfortunately, it was rare for anyone to know where the Blood Demon Sect was located. If there were some insiders, it would be greatly beneficial to Qin Fang.

Therefore, Qin Fang's first target for the Soul Control Technique was set on these Demon Sect disciples.

But this also had to wait until Qin Fang encountered those Demon Sect disciples...

For now, they're still trapped in the Nine Serenities Forbidden Lands, and it's uncertain whether they can escape smoothly.

"In the future, if given the chance, it would be possible to seize those Evil Spirit Warriors of the Tianxie Sect..."

Qin Fang was also considering the Evil Spirit Warriors of the Tianxie Sect, who were comparable to Supreme Realm powerhouses. Although they lacked consciousness, their strength was undoubted... Such a situation was similar to the effect of the Soul Control Technique, hence Qin Fang's thought on this matter.

Despite how well he's currently doing, and his strength being quite formidable... there's even a Supreme Realm powerhouse like Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu protecting him.

However, Qin Fang still lacked any sense of security as the enemies grew increasingly strong; even Supreme Realm powerhouses have difficulty ensuring his safety... In special situations, he would still need to rely on himself.

Just like when he previously encountered Evil Spirit Sword Sovereign Shi Songyang, if Emperor Kuang hadn't appeared by chance, Qin Fang would have been defeated long ago, and at that time, Blue-wing Bat King Wei Chunqiu would have been nowhere to be found!

But if Qin Fang could control a few Evil Spirit Warriors, even if they couldn't inflict harm on Shi Songyang, they could at least ensure Qin Fang's self-defense...

Of course, if he could directly control Shi Songyang or even top experts like "Emperor Xie" and "Emperor Xue," then Qin Fang would be akin to an invincible existence worldwide... But unfortunately, such a situation was unlikely to happen.

At least before he could defeat these perverse Supreme powerhouses, that's not possible.

"For now, those powerful experts aren't something to consider, but..."

With a change of thought, Qin Fang immediately began to ponder.

He had just acquired a powerful skill, and how could he demonstrate its might without personally trying it?

Thus, Qin Fang's gaze shifted from Pang Sihai, Demon Sect disciples, Evil Spirit Warriors, and others, to the Nether beasts beside the Nine Serenities Netherworld... These Nether beasts weren't weak, but they weren't an opponent for Qin Fang, making them easier to control.

"Qin Fang, what are you doing?"

Seeing Qin Fang take a brief rest and then step into the Nine Serenities Netherworld, Pang Sihai was startled, suspecting that Qin Fang might have lost his mind due to the Netherworld Ghost Qi and was heading to his death.

"It's nothing..."

Qin Fang obviously wouldn't reveal the truth, simply responding casually, then stepping a leg into the Nine Serenities Netherworld, and immediately unleashing a Sword Qi that struck the nearest Nether beast's body.

Poof~~

That Nether beast wasn't weak, reaching the Spirit Beast level, slightly stronger than the Netherworld Tiger Snake Qin Fang defeated earlier... However, its size was somewhat smaller, hidden beneath a You Ming Di Yun Cao, and if not careful, it wasn't easy to spot.

Yet, regardless of how well it hid, it couldn't escape Qin Fang's mini-map reconnaissance, and thus was immediately exposed.

Qin Fang didn't hold back, for if this Sword Qi wasn't dodged, the Nether beast wouldn't necessarily be dismembered, but it would certainly be injured... possibly severely!

Dang~~~

Sure enough, just as Qin Fang's Sword Qi was about to strike the You Ming Di Yun Cao, a shadow charged forward, ferociously swinging its "Twin Blades," easily deflecting Qin Fang's Sword Qi.

"Youming Gui Tang..."

And upon seeing its appearance, Qin Fang identified the species.

This was a Youming Gui Tang, an Exotic Beast called Twin Blade Mantis that evolved into a Nether beast after being tempered in the Nine Serenities Netherworld. It retained the terrifying, sharp Twin Blades of the Twin Blade Mantis and, after baptism by the Netherworld Ghost Qi, became even sharper and more ferocious.

Although Qin Fang's Sword Qi wasn't a full-force attack, it was still quite formidable... The previous Netherworld Tiger Snake had decent defense, but if hit, it would be injured. Yet this Youming Gui Tang remained completely unfazed, the Twin Blades unharmed!

"Attack power and defense are both impressive. You're the one..."

Seeing the Youming Gui Tang block his Sword Qi, Qin Fang was a bit surprised... but soon couldn't help but smile. Such a formidable Nether beast was precisely what he desired!

Considering the power it unleashed earlier, even ordinary Great Grandmaster Level experts wouldn't necessarily be its match... With its petite physique, using it for sneak attacks would definitely turn it into Qin Fang's deadly asset!

Thinking of this, Qin Fang's face revealed a "creepy uncle" smile, then launched a second attack on the Youming Gui Tang... This time wasn't merely a test but an attempt to capture! (To be continued.
