Chapter 17 The Summoning of the King of Slaughter
"Not a soul skill? Then what is it?"
"Pulse Technique."
This was the first time Yun Sha had heard this unfamiliar term. "What is pulse diagnosis?"
"It's complicated to explain, but if you have time, I can tell you," Huanming said.
"I do have time. Of course I'd like to hear about something this amazing, but you might not be available."
"Oh?"
Yun Sha shook her head. "Whether that was a soul skill or not, you used a method similar to a soul skill. The King of Slaughter will be summoning you soon."
"I know that."
Huanming didn't take this matter to heart at all; what he wanted was for the King of Slaughter to summon him.
Then, under Yun Sha's curious gaze, Huan Ming walked towards the group of "blood slaves".
The group of blood slaves were trembling with fear. They were terrified, after all, "Kuiba" had just defeated the War Soul!
Anyone who is fooled by the appearance of the "Kuiba" children is truly not far from their death!
"If anyone asks you to contribute Bloody Mary in the future, you can come to me."
But to their surprise, Huanming said those words.
"You...you don't want us to contribute Bloody Mary?" a blood slave asked in a low voice.
Huanming smiled calmly, "What would I do with that stuff? There's no good in drinking it."
"Are you...are you here to protect us?"
One of the female blood slaves asked timidly; she looked to be only a teenager.
"Yes, I am Kuiba."
"Kuiba, Kuiba..." the little girl murmured.
After leaving a message, Huanming turned and left, because he saw a person dressed as a guard arrive.
The guard was talking to Yun Sha, glancing at him every now and then.
No need to guess, this must be one of the King of Slaughter's men.
"Lord Kuiba, the King of Slaughter wants to see you. Shall I take you there?" Yun Sha said in a serious tone.
"it is good."
*
The King of Slaughter's palace is magnificent, yet filled with the stench of blood.
The stench of blood here is even stronger than in the Killing Arena, making it easy to judge what kind of person this King of Slaughter is.
The royal palace is a forbidden area of the killing city; anyone who trespasses will only meet with death.
Led by Yunsha, Huanming safely entered the palace.
At first glance, one could see a tall man with a face like a demon sitting on the throne.
Upon seeing this man, Huanming finally understood where the murderous aura of the Slaughter Palace came from; the source was none other than the man before him.
King of Slaughter!
The King of Slaughter looked at him with a slightly interested gaze, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
Even before getting close, Huanming had already sensed a massive energy fluctuation.
The King of Slaughter... is a ruthless character.
Yunsha lowered her head and performed a standard aristocratic greeting: "Your Majesty, I have brought the person you requested."
At the same time, Yun Sha gave Huan Ming a look, signaling him to also bow.
Huanming wasn't a fool; he didn't yet have the strength to resist the King of Slaughter, so he simply bowed.
"Greetings, Lord of Slaughter."
"No need for formalities."
The King of Slaughter tapped his throne with his fingertips, producing a series of dull "thump-thump" sounds.
This is another kind of invisible pressure.
"Kuiba, is it?"
"Yes."
The King of Slaughter's eyes flickered, and his voice was low and deep: "Generally speaking, no Soul Master can use Soul Skills in the Land of Slaughter, but there is an exception. Obviously, you are not that kind of person."
"Young man, explain yourself. Why are you able to use soul skills? Don't try to lie to me."
Huanming replied without hesitation: "That's not a soul skill, but a pulse technique. I'm using pulse power, not soul power. The two are different, so the suppression from the City of Slaughter is naturally ineffective against me."
The King of Slaughter asked again, "Pulse power? Pulse technique? What are those things?"
It was the first time he had ever heard such an unfamiliar word, and he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity.
Huanming knew that he could not explain it to the King of Slaughter using the knowledge of the Yuan Yang Realm.
After all, things like "gene particles," "superstrings," and "pulse frequencies" are really complicated to explain.
Don't let the King of Slaughter make him explain these things before he's even finished explaining the Time Meridian Technique.
So he changed his wording, to something that wasn't quite accurate, but was somewhat related.
Huanming said, "There are twelve meridians in the human body, and each meridian has hidden potential. Activating a meridian can give a person power."
"These powers are different from soul power. The size of soul power is closely related to soul rings and soul bones, but not so closely related to oneself."
"But the power of the pulse point comes from within oneself, without relying on any external force. The barrier of the Slaughter City can only prevent external forces, but it cannot prevent a person's own power."
His explanation was easy to understand, and it also explained why the restrictions of the Killing City were ineffective against him.
The King of Slaughter nodded slightly: "So there's such knowledge? Then what are the twelve meridians? Does everyone possess them?"
"The twelve meridians are: Lunquan, Xuangu, Chaoyingfeng, Kunhai, Huanxue, Muhuansong, Linque, Cheng'an, Shenpoxu, Biyuan, Qiming, and Xinduankong," Huanming replied.
"Not everyone has a pulse point; it... is related to one's own talent."
The last sentence was just Huanming trying to fool the King of Slaughter.
If it were the Yuan Yang Realm, then indeed everyone would have a pulse point.
However, if it's Douluo Continent, then it's not necessarily the case, because the structures of these two worlds are completely different.
Their genes are also completely different.
The reason Huanming was able to awaken his pulse gate in Douluo Continent was simply because he was Kuiba; he was an accident, nothing more.
"It seems you have quite a talent in this area. How many meridians have you awakened so far?" the King of Slaughter asked with a smile.
"two."
"Interesting. It's been a long time since I've seen someone this interesting." The King of Slaughter grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"I can see that your soul power fluctuations are very small. You shouldn't be a Soul Master, right?"
"I am indeed not a Soul Master," Huanming said noncommittally.
The King of Slaughter nodded: "Yes, since he couldn't become a Soul Master, he forged his own path and researched pulse points to make himself no weaker than a Soul Master. Is my understanding correct?"
Huanming was too lazy to deny it, otherwise he would have to explain a lot. "Yes."
"You're a talented person, so why did you come to the City of Slaughter?"
"They were being hunted down by both the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire."
Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter's eyes lit up. "Heh, not bad at all. But what makes you think it's safe to stay in Slaughter City?"
"The Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall, and those other forces outside, all claiming to be righteous, certainly won't come to the City of Slaughter to arrest me; they wouldn't dare. And within the City of Slaughter, I'm confident I can protect myself," Huan Ming said succinctly.
The King of Slaughter laughed, "I'm starting to like you, little brat."
