It was not because of his clothes, but his aura.
Before this, although Qin Yu hadn't recovered from a serious illness, his entire body was dispirited and listless. This wasn't surprising. After all, he had been seriously injured to begin with and had been constantly on the move for over a month. Because of this, he was tired and travel-worn.
But now that his injuries were healed and he had changed his clothes, his entire temperament had undergone a heaven-shaking change.
Originally, Qin Yu's appearance was very handsome. His eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars. His face was sharp and angular, and after experiencing so many tribulations, his entire body exuded a sense of steadiness. Between his eyebrows, there was a faintly discernible stubbornness, arrogance, and indifference.
Although he had changed into an ordinary gray robe, his white hair was incomparably neat and tidy, casually draped over his shoulders. It was like adding the finishing touch to a painting, causing his temperament to sublimate.
On top of this foundation, the Dao of Thunder Punishment that Qin Yu had comprehended caused a faint heavenly might to flow through his body. This heavenly might was incomparable to an ordinary heavenly might. As he stood there, he was like a god that had descended into the world.
"F * ck!"
Qi Youlong couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was shocked by Qin Yu's transformation. It had to be said that Qin Yu actually gave Qi Youlong a feeling of being outshone in comparison …
It had to be known that although Qi Youlong's clothes were simple and plain, the arrogance that seeped into his bones allowed him to remain calm in front of anyone. But now, the stubbornness between Qin Yu's eyebrows, the innate arrogance, and the indifference that seemed as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life, all of this left a strong impact on anyone who saw him.
What made it even harder for Qi Youlong to accept was that Qin Yu's aura made Qi Youlong feel as if he had returned to the time when he was undergoing the Dao Calamity …
He had found a treasure!
After recovering from his shock, Qi Youlong, who had seen countless people, exclaimed in his heart. He was a businessman, and the people who competed with him were all monsters. For example, the youngest one-star Purgatory Practitioner in history, or the top monster who had the potential to become an eight-star Purgatory Practitioner …
These people all had extraordinary auras that normal people did not have … but compared to the person in front of him … their auras were a level lower!
Because this innate aura and arrogance was something they did not have.
"What a pity, but his name is a bit old-fashioned." Qi Youlong observed Qin Yu carefully.
In truth, when he heard Qin Yu say Li Youcai's name, if it weren't for the fact that he had been taught to remain calm, he would have laughed out loud. This name …
"What?"
Qin Yu looked at Qi Youlong, whose expression was constantly changing, and couldn't help but be surprised. After he walked out, his extraordinary temperament instantly disappeared, and even his body was no longer as tall and straight. It was as if he had been reduced from a high and mighty emperor to a commoner in an instant …
The sudden change stunned Qi Youlong. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and look at Qin Yu in disbelief. If Qin Yu's aura hadn't shocked him, he would have thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Youlong suppressed his thoughts. He knew that Qin Yu had control over his aura to the point where he could withdraw it at will. This made Qi Youlong speechless. He was only Dao Realm Stage Three and was already so overpowered. His future achievements would definitely be extraordinary.
Yes.
At this moment, Qin Yu had already stepped into Dao Realm Stage Three.
He had absorbed numerous remnant souls in Ghost Domain and his mental state had improved. Especially after forming the God Soul Blade, Qin Yu's soul was comparable to that of a Celestial Realm cultivator. This was why after recovering, he stepped into Dao Realm Stage Three.
Although the Vitality Pill and the Profound Spirit Pill had allowed his Dantian and Divine Soul Sea to be repaired, and even the Thunder Punishment Dao Nascent Soul had begun to recover, the Divine Soul Blade still had cracks. This was something that Qin Yu was helpless about, as it meant that he would have to spend a lot of time repairing these tiny cracks.
Apart from that, Qin Yu's current strength was even stronger than when he was at his peak.
After fusing with the remnant souls of Ancient Saint Primordius and the Sumeru Undying Son of Heaven, they had become deeply rooted in him, becoming a part of his divine soul. These two things had already begun to affect him in all aspects, just like his incomparable temperament!
"No … Nothing, let's go. Can you compete with me now?" Qi Youlong suppressed his thoughts and asked.
"How do you want to compete?"
Qin Yu had a faintly discernible smile on his face. Although he had signed the contract, he still had a favorable impression of Qi Youlong. In addition, he had recovered from his injuries and his strength had returned to its peak. This left him in a good mood.
"We will only use footwork. You grab me or I grab you, how about that?" Qi Youlong's eyes lit up. He was really confident in his footwork.
"Where shall we compete?" Qin Yu nodded.
"Follow me." Qi Youlong said.
A moment later, in a huge courtyard that could fit 10,000 people, Qi Youlong looked at Qin Yu and said, "I will suppress my cultivation to Dao Realm Stage Three. As for whether you grab me or I grab you, it is up to you."
"If you touch my clothes, then I lose." Qin Yu was deep in thought.
"Okay, get ready. Let's begin!" Qi Youlong said.
When Qin Yu replied, Qi Youlong instantly disappeared and Qin Yu's body flashed and reappeared. He had already changed several positions …
The two of them were extremely fast. This speed wasn't just pure speed but it was supported by their unpredictable footwork.
Previously, Qin Yu was injured and his Dao Energy and soul power couldn't be gathered. He relied on his energy source to support himself. But now … Multiple sources of energy filled his body, allowing Qin Yu to use the All-Heaven Steps to the extreme.
Of course, since Qi Youlong dared to compete, it meant that his footwork was also extremely strong. There were a few times when he was about to grab Qin Yu but Qin Yu shook him off …
This lasted for a full 15 minutes and Qi Youlong didn't even touch Qin Yu's clothes …
"Wait!" Qi Youlong couldn't take it anymore and shouted. His body appeared in the air.
Qin Yu's body slowly appeared and he looked at Qi Youlong, "What?"
"Come and grab me!
If you touch my clothes, I'll consider it your win! "
Qi Youlong said with some unwillingness. He hadn't been able to last a quarter of an hour against Qin Yu. This made Qi Youlong realize that time was all the same. Unless he exhausted all of Qin Yu's Dao essence, that would be an unfair victory.
Therefore, Qi Youlong was prepared to use a different method.
"Okay!" Qin Yu nodded and said, "Get ready." The moment Qi Youlong disappeared, Qin Yu also disappeared.
But in less than three breaths, Qi Youlong's body suddenly appeared and he staggered and almost fell …
Qin Yu's body slowly appeared and he looked at Qi Youlong who had stabilized himself and didn't fall. He said slowly, "You let me win?"
In his heart, Qin Yu was indeed laughing. Back then, under the pressure of the Crying Old Man, Qin Yu had suffered a lot. It would be strange if Qi Youlong could win.
After stabilizing himself, Qi Youlong looked at Qin Yu with a gloomy expression. To be honest, he was full of confidence before, but now … he realized that the gap between him and Qin Yu wasn't small. This made him very unhappy.
Ever since he learned this unpredictable footwork, he had never lost to anyone in terms of footwork …
"Haha, my footwork should be stronger than yours. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Qi would like to learn it?" Qin Yu said with a smile that didn't look like a smile.
Qi Youlong's eyes lit up and he looked at Qin Yu in surprise. But after sensing Qin Yu's smile, Qi Youlong was stunned and his eyes gradually dimmed. He said in bewilderment, "Forget it. Although the All-Heaven Steps is strong, my footwork isn't bad either …"
How could Qi Youlong not want to learn the All-Heaven Steps?
But Qin Yu's smile was also very obvious. If Qi Youlong wanted to learn, he could teach him, but on the condition that he made a promise … After seeing Qin Yu's extraordinary temperament, Qi Youlong wouldn't use Qin Yu's "one thing" so easily.
Qin Yu was also slightly disappointed. If Qi Youlong agreed, Qin Yu would really teach him. After all, it was only the All-Heaven Steps. So what if he taught him?
Otherwise, who knew what Qi Youlong would ask him to promise in the future …
"Don't be in a hurry to answer. If Fellow Daoist Qi wants to learn one day, you're always welcome … Oh right, my footwork is only at the beginner level …" Qin Yu said with a smile.
