Chapter 258

One day later, Gu Xuan completely stabilized his surging strength, and his soul power naturally reached the seventy-ninth level, after which he left the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

Once he breaks through to the ninetieth level, he will absorb the million-year soul bone left by the Ice Fire Dragon King and forge his body.

Now Gu Xuan's physical quality is already comparable to that of a ninety-seventh-level Super Douluo; even if he uses only his martial soul and no soul skills, he can utterly crush Soul Saint-level Soul Masters.

Just as Tang Hao in the original work violently beat Zhao Wuji, this is Gu Xuan's current strength.

After leaving the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, Gu Xuan bid farewell to Du Gu Yan, because he had an appointment to keep.

At the Soul Master tournament three years ago, he and Qian Renxue had a three-year agreement.

Du Gu Yan originally wanted to go as well, but Gu Xuan didn't allow it, because it wasn't necessary.

Du Gu Yan thought it over and ultimately decided not to go, because Gu Xuan had now leapt to the seventy-ninth level, while she had just broken through to the seventy-fifth level, and was once again left behind by Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan left the Sunset Forest and headed alone to the Lightning Horse Plains; at the same time, a secret letter was delivered to Wu Hun City.

Because Gu Xuan is still pretending not to know that Qian Renxue is hidden in the the Heaven Dou Empire, once the letter arrives, someone will naturally forward it to Qian Renxue.

Because, following normal development, even though Qian Renxue now differs from the original story, she wouldn't be too extreme; at most she would be at the Soul Douluo level.

What Gu Xuan doesn't know is that, after he completely disappeared later, Qian Renxue felt an even greater sense of crisis, so she directly left the the Heaven Dou Empire and returned to the Spirit Hall to cultivate in seclusion.

Is that how the original script was written? You're treating me like Tang San to beat up, aren't you? So merciless?

Qian Renxue replied, "Of course, if you lose, I'll do as I please with you; but why was it moved up by two months?"

However, it's only May now, and Gu Xuan is still two months away from turning eighteen; the reason it was moved up by nearly two months is that Ning Rongrong and the others have not yet been heard from.

Qian Renxue said this naturally because she has absolute confidence that she can defeat Gu Xuan; and she herself has already reached the terrifying ninety-third level!

That's right; in just three years, Qian Renxue broke through from the seventy-fourth level to the Titled Douluo realm, a speed that is terrifying even compared to Gu Xuan's!

"You came alone?" Gu Xuan asked.

Gu Xuan's plan was to first settle the fight, then go to Sea God Island to fetch Ning Rongrong and the others back for their wedding, which is why he deliberately moved it up.

Since suffering the defeat three years ago, Qian Renxue has begun to strive fiercely; her efforts mean that even in talent she slightly lags behind the original Bi Bi Dong.

Qian Renxue's talent is originally the best on the continent; if it weren't for Gu Xuan obtaining an opportunity in the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, perhaps no one on this continent could surpass Qian Renxue except Bi Bi Dong.

Before, Feng Xiao Tian went love-crazy and reached the Soul King level in just three years! Now you, Qian Renxue, want to enslave this handsome guy and break through to Titled Douluo in three years?

Hearing this, Gu Xuan's smile grew wider: "Do you still remember our original agreement?"

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed crimson beneath her veil; indeed, this brat has always been thinking of her!

Could it be that the two-month advance is also because this brat couldn't wait?

And the reason Gu Xuan dares to go alone is naturally his confidence in his own strength.

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Gu Xuan came to his senses, the smile on his face fading; before this he had indeed been very confident, or rather a bit overconfident.

Gu Xuan rose and walked out of the cave, seeing that beautiful figure hovering in midair, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.

"Qian Renxue, I have come for the appointment." From outside the cave came Qian Renxue's cold, clear voice.

Gu Xuan extended his spiritual sense and discovered that only Qian Renxue was present; his heart was still filled with surprise.

Qian Renxue quickly concealed her emotions, letting out a cold snort: "I will only obey someone stronger than me; as for you, you're not enough."

Ninety-third level? Two hundred-thousand-year soul rings? You've also taken the protagonist template, huh?

As the words fell, Gu Xuan's soul power surged across his body, and behind him the eight wings of the sword dragon unfurled, likewise rising into the air to confront Qian Renxue.

And Qian Renxue, during these two-plus years of secluded cultivation, has not only successfully absorbed the Angelic Divine Armament, but has also already initiated the God's Trial!

Because the God's Trial has been opened, Qian Renxue's strength can increase so rapidly.

With his current spiritual power, within a radius of one kilometer, even if a ninety-ninth-level Peerless Douluo were present, he could sense it.

However, the time they originally agreed upon for the duel was July 1st, because Gu Xuan's wedding is on July 7th this year, his birthday.

And over the past two and a half years, that Xue Qinghe of the the Heaven Dou Empire has merely been a stand-in that Qian Renxue originally cultivated.

"Qian Renxue, martial soul: Six-Winged Angel, ninety-third level Strength Attack Titled Douluo, title: Angel!"

Qian Renxue nodded and replied, "What, do you want someone to watch you lose?"

"How so? Do you think you're qualified enough for me to take you as a subordinate?" Qian Renxue smiled faintly: "If you admit defeat now, I can spare you dignity, let you stay by my side as a little attendant, and I wouldn't mind bringing you to the peak with me."

At the same time, her nine soul rings fully appeared: two yellow, two purple, three black, two red!

Although he is a stand-in, over the past two-plus years he has never been exposed, and has even reached the same height as in the original story; he only needs to outlast the Snow Night Emperor to become the emperor of the the Heaven Dou Empire.

Seeing Gu Xuan dazed, Qian Renxue's pretty face beneath her veil showed a hint of triumphant smile; the satisfaction of successfully putting on airs made her feel very good.

Of course, Gu Xuan naturally knows nothing of this; otherwise he wouldn't be so full of himself.

In the span of three years, she successfully absorbed the Angelic Divine Armament, two years ahead of her own original estimate of five years.

Seeing this scene and hearing Qian Renxue reveal her level, Gu Xuan's brain momentarily shrank.

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Gu Xuan's smile remained: "Whether it's enough or not, we'll know after we fight; Qian Renxue, in this three-year agreement, win or lose, let's see who is stronger today."

Now he, relying on his Golden-Level second awakening, could even escape if Qian Daoliu himself came personally; that is his confidence!

Gu Xuan waited on the Lightning Horse Plains for a week; that day, while he was normally cultivating in a cave on the Lightning Horse Plains, a golden meteor streaked across the sky, and immediately afterward, Qian Renxue wearing a veil arrived outside the cave.

Qian Renxue need not say more; her soul rings rose one after another on her body, and as the rings rose, her voice sounded again:

"It's true that I lost and will leave myself to your disposal, but don't forget, if I win, you must come and be my sixth wife." Gu Xuan did not answer why it was moved up, but said this.

But now, seeing Qian Renxue display her strength and the two hundred-thousand-year soul rings on her body, Gu Xuan knows that Qian Renxue remains an opponent he cannot afford to underestimate.

Because she is indeed different from the original story; is it because of me?

If so, then she should thank me, after all her fate in the original story wasn't very good.

If that's the case, since she has her present achievements because of me, how could I possibly lose to her? She should be my sixth wife as compensation for the changes I made to her!

With his thoughts settled, Gu Xuan calmly met Qian Renxue's gaze: "Admitting defeat without fighting is not my style; since you have this confidence, then use your strength to conquer me!"
