Chapter 23: The Emperor's Thunder Technique – Emperor's Thunder Finger

"Ninety-seventh level?"

Meng Yiran was genuinely startled by Snake Granny's comment.

"Is the Titan Giant Ape really that strong?" she asked incredulously.

Having lived for many years, she had never even heard of someone at the ninety-seventh level, let alone seen one.

In her view, a ninety-seventh-level soul master was a legendary figure in the world of soul masters.

"There's nothing surprising about that," Snake Granny said, filled with awe. "Although the cultivation level of a 100,000-year soul beast cannot be compared with a ninety-seventh-level soul master, the Titan Giant Ape is an anomaly among soul beasts. Its strength can't be measured by cultivation level alone."

It was normal to revere powerful beings, whether they were humans or soul beasts.

After pondering a moment, Snake Granny added, "However, powerful as the Titan Giant Ape is, it would not be difficult for that young Soul Douluo to escape."

"If the Titan Giant Ape can't keep him..."

Snake Granny interjected with admiration, "Such a young Titled Douluo, his future is unimaginable!"

She glanced at her granddaughter, Meng Yiran. Previously, she had considered her a genius, but compared to Qin Xiao, Meng Yiran's talent seemed average.

"Roar!"

As they conversed, Qin Xiao and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged several powerful blows, with the ape becoming increasingly agitated.

Snake Granny cautioned, "Be careful. I think the Titan Giant Ape is about to go berserk. The young Soul Douluo might retreat soon, and we should not stay here either."

Meng Yiran nodded in agreement, and Snake Granny quietly acknowledged.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiao, facing the enraged Titan Giant Ape, was actually delighted.

"I wish it were more aggressive. I'm close to unlocking a part of my martial soul's power."

Qin Xiao had refrained from using soul skills, relying solely on his martial soul's control over lightning for the fight, as a form of self-training. The strength of the Emperor of Thunder lay not in soul ring abilities, but in profound techniques.

Suddenly, the Titan Giant Ape's chest swelled, gathering energy for a massive attack.

"This must be the Titan Sky Cannon," Qin Xiao surmised.

He lifted his right hand, his index finger extended, and unleashed a bolt of lightning towards the Titan Giant Ape. The thin beam rapidly expanded, colliding with the ape's invisible shockwave.

The impact of the thunderous strike caused the ape to stagger back, its fur charred and two of its giant teeth broken and expelled.

Meng Yiran, witnessing the scene, questioned Snake Granny's earlier analysis. "Wasn't he supposed to be retreating? Why does he seem even more aggressive?"

Snake Granny, embarrassed by her miscalculation, quickly rationalized, "Maybe the young Soul Douluo's attributes counter the Titan Giant Ape."

But as they noticed the Titan Giant Ape's injuries, Snake Granny was stunned. "This can't be right. His attack was so powerful?"

Meng Yiran sarcastically remarked on Snake Granny's earlier assessment, "Is this what you call a weak attack that couldn't break through defenses?"

Snake Granny, dumbfounded, could only watch in awe.

"Look, perhaps a miracle is happening."

Qin Xiao, witnessing the damage he inflicted, still wasn't satisfied. "If it were a true Emperor's Thunder Finger, the Titan Giant Ape would have already fallen."

The Titan Giant Ape, enraged and injured, let out a furious roar, blood fueling its ferocity.

"Scowling won't help you," Qin Xiao taunted, beckoning the beast with a provocative gesture.

The Titan Giant Ape understood the universal challenge and prepared to launch another attack.

"Damn it!"

"To deceive others is one thing, but to deceive such a powerful being is too much! As the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, it has been a long time since it was last provoked like this.

In the next moment, it took strides, covering tens of meters in distance, and rushed to Qin Xiao's side, throwing punches in a chaotic manner.

"Too slow."

"And relying solely on brute force, lacking any skill in exerting force."

"In this regard, Tang Hao is leagues ahead of you."

The Titan Giant Ape's attack power was not low, but in Qin Xiao's view, it wasn't much of a threat. After all, it was hitting air, not him.

No matter how the Titan Giant Ape attacked, Qin Xiao could easily dodge. In terms of speed, he completely dominated.

At the same time, after each dodge, Qin Xiao would casually point out a finger, continuously perfecting his Thunder Emperor's Finger technique.

Clearly, he was using the Titan Giant Ape as a sharpening stone.

He was having a blast.

But the Titan Giant Ape was suffering, howling in pain as it was struck by thunderous blows.

"So cool."

"Facing a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with such ease and grace, it's just too cool!"

Meng Yiran watched the battle from a distance, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Qin Xiao's graceful figure was already deeply imprinted in her heart, unforgettable for a lifetime. "Such a monstrous talent!"

"To think a youth like him could overpower the Titan Giant Ape, the fairy tales I heard in my childhood never dared to tell such stories."

Long Gong watched in astonishment.

Looking at Qin Xiao and then at himself.

He felt like he had wasted his years.

Beside him, She Po nodded numbly, "Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that such a prodigious talent could exist in the Douluo Continent. It's hard to imagine how far he will go and what achievements he will attain."

Hearing this, Long Gong smiled bitterly, "He is already a figure we look up to, and in the future, we may not even be qualified to catch a glimpse of him."

It was a disheartening thought.

"Xiao San, I think Er Ming might not be a match for Qin Xiao. We should leave. Let's not provoke him any further."

A few hundred meters behind the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu's eyes were already brimming with tears.

Er Ming was her family.

But she had just watched as Er Ming's teeth were broken by someone.

She couldn't help feeling heartbroken and guilty. If it weren't for her pleading, Er Ming wouldn't have gone to trouble Qin Xiao.

Nor would he be in such a miserable state now.

"No, it can't be. I don't believe Qin Xiao is unharmed!"

"My father has been so severely injured, I don't believe he can still perform at his peak! It's deliberate. Qin Xiao must be doing this on purpose."

Tang San's eyes shone with a purple light, closely observing the battle between the Titan Giant Ape and Qin Xiao.

Xiao Wu's words were hard for him to accept.

Even now, he still firmly believed that his judgment could not be wrong.

"Xiao San, didn't you see that Er Ming couldn't even touch Qin Xiao's clothes? And every attack from Qin Xiao caused significant damage to Er Ming. If this continues, I'm afraid Er Ming really won't last."

Xiao Wu said with a pained expression.

Unfortunately.

Tang San didn't listen to Xiao Wu's words. After pondering for a while, his face suddenly showed a look of realization.

"Xiao Wu, I know where the problem lies!"

"Soul skills!"

"From the beginning of the fight, Qin Xiao hasn't used a single soul skill. He must be unable to use soul skills due to some limitation."

"I knew it. As a Title Douluo of level ninety-two, how could he fight against my father without paying a price?"

Tang San firmly believed that Qin Xiao was using a self-created soul skill similar to the explosion method mentioned by Tang Hao.

"Is that really the case?" Xiao Wu was bewildered.

Tang San nodded firmly, "As long as we hold on, Er Ming will win! The teacher said that a soul master without soul skills is like a bird without wings!"

"Okay then."

Xiao Wu nodded hesitantly.

"No, it's not right."

"Still a bit off."

"The rune arrangement is still unstable."

Qin Xiao was immersed in contemplation.

He kept performing the Thunder Emperor's Finger technique, becoming numb.

Even the cries of the Titan Giant Ape were no longer audible to him.

After an unknown period.

He suddenly had an epiphany.

"I understand now, the problem lies here!"

Qin Xiao's lips unconsciously formed a knowing smile.

Through continuous practice, he finally mastered the dispersal technique of the Thunder Emperor's Finger.

The next moment, his figure moved, retreating a hundred meters away.

The Titan Giant Ape was baffled.

What's happening? Why stop fighting?

"You helped me master the Thunder Emperor's Finger."

"To repay this favor, I've decided to grant you a quick end."

Qin Xiao sneered, the arcs of electricity around him began to change.

They twisted into mysterious runes.

Then, these runes, as if attracted by some special force, arranged and combined together.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed through the skies of Star Dou Great Forest.

A terrifying scene unfolded.

Pale arcs of electricity converged towards Qin Xiao without dispersing.

Gurgle!

The Titan Giant Ape looked up at Qin Xiao and swallowed hard.

Terrifying!

At that moment, the power converging on Qin Xiao sent chills down its spine.

Explosive, terrifying, destructive.

Waves of aura erupted from Qin Xiao, making all the soul beasts within ten miles prostrate themselves.

"Too terrifying."

"This aura, not directed at us, makes even my soul tremble."

"It's hard to imagine the pressure the Titan Giant Ape is facing directly."

Long Gong, She Po, and Meng Yiran also supported each other to stand, barely keeping themselves from falling.

"He's too strong. Under this attack, the Titan Giant Ape probably can't hold on!"

She Po was also astonished.

"Er Ming, run!"

At this moment, Xiao Wu couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at Er Ming.

The Titan Giant Ape looked towards Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu looked back at it.

Their eyes met, understanding each other's intentions without words.

The Titan Giant Ape looked helpless and desperate.

"Xiao San, Er Ming told me that a force has locked onto it. Qin Xiao's soul skill is sure to hit! More importantly, the power in this soul skill is something Er Ming can't resist. What do we do? What should we do, Xiao San, save it!"

Xiao Wu said frantically, tears rolling down her face.

"What? Er Ming can't hold on either?"

Tang San was shocked.

His brain began to work rapidly, "Xiao Wu, let's go. It's not safe here anymore. It's too late, Qin Xiao won't let us go."

He was starting to panic.

Just by thinking, he knew that after Qin Xiao dealt with Er Ming, he definitely wouldn't let them go.

"Go?"

Xiao Wu shook her head, "I won't go, I can't leave Er Ming here alone."

"Xiao Wu, you've seen it, the soul power fluctuation ahead is really too strong. If we go there, we'll only be going to our deaths. So the best choice for us is to stay away from here."

Stay away?

Xiao Wu was stunned, "Xiao San, how can you say that, Er Ming is our partner. You actually want to abandon it?"

Tang San frowned and tried to persuade her, "Xiao Wu, calm down, Er Ming also wants us to leave now. After all, staying here means death, and living means we can avenge Er Ming in the future." {
