Chapter 9: Reincarnation Eye—Blue Eye Mode: Repulsion and Attraction!

Chapter 9: Tenseigan Blue Eye Mode, Repulsion and Attraction!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching Level 27 Great Soul Master. Please keep up the effort.]

Rising by one level felt as if his entire body had been purified. His soul power grew stronger. However, Xu Yan didn't feel much joy; after all, he still had a long way to go. He was still quite a distance away from the true geniuses of this continent. Only when he reached the soul power levels of Hu Liena and Xie Yue would he be truly invincible.

After all, with his constitution that grew stronger in the face of stronger opponents, he could battle any soul master below the level of a Soul Saint. To be precise, his gap with the younger generation of soul masters was merely in soul power level, and the suppression brought by this difference was negligible. However, once he faced a Soul Saint, the gap became immense. In other words, a Soul Saint was a massive watershed for Xu Yan at his current stage. A Soul Saint ranged from level 71 to 80; the transition from a level 70 Soul Emperor to a level 71 Soul Saint was likely as difficult as transcending a tribulation. Once he crossed that threshold, it would be a whole new world.

He continued to use the Soul Origin Fruit to cultivate. Before he knew it, two hours had passed. Finally, as the power surged through his body, he broke through the bottleneck.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching Level 28 Great Soul Master. Please keep up the good work.]

After Xu Yan stabilized his aura, his expression turned serious. "Three more levels until I reach Soul Venerable." Thinking this, he continued to cultivate even though it was already dawn. He consumed another Soul Origin Fruit. Half an hour later:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching Level 29 Great Soul Master. Keep加油!]

At this moment, Demon Douluo emerged, watching Xu Yan as he practiced. "This kid has broken through three levels in a row; truly impressive." He wondered why the Pope had sent Xu Yan here. Perhaps she had recognized his latent talent. However, compared to his peers, Xu Yan's progress was more of a result of hard work. Those of the same age with high natural talent were already level 40 Soul Ancestors.

This was a case of late blooming; he had awakened his talent late and was now frantically catching up. As these thoughts raced through Demon Douluo's mind, he saw Xu Yan break through again.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching Level 30 Great Soul Master. The rank of Soul Venerable is right before you. Keep it up!]

Four levels in a row! Demon Douluo’s eyes narrowed. Although it was easier to level up at lower ranks, jumping four levels in such a short time proved just how formidable Xu Yan’s talent was.

After consolidating his soul power, Xu Yan slowly opened his eyes. As he stood up, he saw Demon Douluo quietly watching him from not far away.

"Seventh Elder, is something the matter?" Xu Yan asked curiously.

"Kid, your talent is decent. Come, let’s continue." Demon Douluo’s Dragon-Coiling Staff grew larger as he slammed it into the ground, causing cracks to spiderweb across the surface.

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said, "You still cannot use your soul power."

"Don't worry, I won't bully you," Demon Douluo said with a faint smile.

Xu Yan drew his Golden Hoop Staff. The needle-thin staff circled him once before expanding into a long rod. Gripping it tightly, he charged rapidly toward Demon Douluo. Seeing him approach, Demon Douluo grinned and swung his staff.

The two weapons collided. *Bang!* A dull metallic ring echoed, and an invisible shockwave rippled outward, causing their hair to flutter violently.

"You've improved!" Demon Douluo felt the immense strength in Xu Yan’s strike. This was perhaps the power manifested after his soul power increase. Although he could instantly defeat Xu Yan by releasing his soul power and using soul skills, without them, Xu Yan’s combat ability was quite formidable.

Xu Yan grinned, thinking that since he couldn't use soul power or skills, he could finally have a real contest. His constitution, which adapted to the strength of his opponent, was always active, and the constant combat allowed it to shine.

As they clashed repeatedly, Xu Yan finally employed the power of his Tenseigan. His eyes were now a glowing blue. When Demon Douluo swung his staff, Xu Yan used a single hand to unleash a repulsive force.

*What?*

Demon Douluo felt a powerful force of repulsion throw his body backward, and he was shocked. Xu Yan used his Tenseigan abilities very discreetly, leaving Demon Douluo unaware of what had happened. While he was stunned, Xu Yan charged at top speed and delivered a heavy blow with his staff. *Bang!* Demon Douluo took the hit squarely.

"Kid, what soul skill did you use?" Demon Douluo asked, somewhat indignantly, from within the dust cloud.

"Just some trivial parlor tricks, not worthy of the Seventh Elder's attention," Xu Yan replied with a gentle smile.

Demon Douluo rushed forward with great speed. "What on earth are you doing?" he demanded, seemingly irritated.

Xu Yan extended his palm, and a repulsive force blocked Demon Douluo in his tracks. The Dragon-Coiling Staff in Demon Douluo’s hand began to tremble. *This kid’s soul skill is strange,* he thought. *If I don't use soul power, this brat might actually defeat me. How could I show my face in the Spirit Hall then?*

With that thought, Demon Douluo released his soul power. A powerful wave of pressure erupted, and the repulsive force in front of Xu Yan instantly shattered. Xu Yan was sent flying backward, tumbling until he slammed into a nearby wall, leaving a large crater in the stone.

*Cough.* Xu Yan coughed repeatedly. If the repulsion hadn't mitigated some of the impact, he would have suffered internal injuries.

"Seventh Elder, that’s not fair! We agreed not to use soul power. You went back on your word; I'm not playing with you anymore," Xu Yan said, standing up with a look of displeasure, ready to leave.

"Wait, wait, wait! I couldn't help myself, your soul skill was just too bizarre," Demon Douluo said, hurrying over.

"You are a peak level 96 Douluo. If you use soul power against a level 30 soul master like me, isn't that just bullying?" Xu Yan retorted, "There's no point in playing anymore."

Though he said this, he knew the Tenseigan’s pupil color could be changed at will. Repulsion and attraction were abilities of the Rinnegan; no wonder the system had mentioned he could utilize some of its powers.

"Are you really not going to play anymore?" Demon Douluo asked, seeing that Xu Yan seemed genuinely angry.

"I think I need to find opponents of my own age to spar with. Once I reach the level of a Soul Saint, I will have a proper, full-out battle with you, Elder," Xu Yan said calmly.

"Fine. I will be right here waiting for you." Demon Douluo, who had developed some appreciation for the boy, nodded and did not press the issue further.
