Chapter 6: Qian Renxue: I'm Just a Heartless NPC

There are many Spirit Beast Forests in this Douluo World, all of which are Spirit Beasts raised by humans.

Inside, there won't be any overly powerful Spirit Beasts, and their age limits won't be very high; those over a thousand years old are extremely rare, and if discovered, they would be killed by the managers.

After all, the Spirit Beasts inside are for the use of the nobility to add their First Spirit Ring and Second Spirit Ring.

As for the second spirit ring, no matter how Lingxu requested it, Ling Bufan could only promise him to absorb one within 750 years, absolutely no more than 750 years.

Therefore, Lingxu could only search for a suitable spirit ring within this range.

However, Lingxu could accept this; for ordinary people, it is very difficult to increase the age of a spirit ring, and unless it is a God Trial, it is basically the only opportunity.

But for Lingxu, he could also obtain an increase in spirit ring age during his missions with Qian Renxue.

For example, his previous first spirit ring's age had increased by two hundred years.

Lingxu's first spirit skill is a defensive spirit skill named Holy Light Defense, a defensive spirit skill.

As for this second spirit skill, Lingxu wanted a spirit skill that allows flight, so for the second spirit skill, a flying Spirit Beast would be best.

Fortunately, his mother Luo Xingyue's martial soul is a Green-Eyed Golden Eagle, so she has ways to deal with flying Spirit Beasts when encountered.

The three of them walked in the Spirit Beast Forest, with Ling Bufan in the lead, Lingxu in the middle, and Luo Xingyue at the rear.

They were constantly paying attention to the distribution of Spirit Beasts in the surroundings.

After walking for about half an hour, Ling Bufan stopped, but then shook his head and said, "There is a Spirit Beast not far ahead, a Datura Snake over 480 years old; it is not suitable."

"Let's go!"

"Wait, another Spirit Beast is coming!"

Luo Xingyue, who was behind, said, and as her eyes took on a jade-green hue, she continued, "A 730-year-old Golden-Winged Eagle; it seems to have taken this Datura Snake as its prey."

"Son, is this one okay?" Ling Bufan asked.

Lingxu nodded and said, "It's fine, that's the one. What good luck, we ran into it as soon as we arrived."

"Let me handle it!" Luo Xingyue said.

As soon as she finished speaking, her spirit ring lit up, and two pairs of wings appeared behind her, swish...

Luo Xingyue's speed was extremely fast; this Golden-Winged Eagle is naturally the nemesis of snakes, and snakes are one of its food sources.

Just as it swooped down from the air, Luo Xingyue made her move.

The Datura Snake also sensed the danger and fled rapidly.

Perhaps the Golden-Winged Eagle was too focused on the Datura Snake and didn't notice Luo Xingyue at all; just as it was about to catch the Datura Snake, Luo Xingyue's attack landed on it.

With a loud bang, the Golden-Winged Eagle's body slammed into a giant rock.

Before the Golden-Winged Eagle could react, Luo Xingyue followed up with several more attacks, and after a few shrill cries, it was on the verge of death, its body twitching as its life was about to end.

Luo Xingyue hurriedly said, "Son, it's ready, but come over quickly; I struck a bit too hard just now, and it's about to die."

Lingxu quickened his pace, and in the process, he took a long blade out of his Soul Guidance Device.

Although he has a System Space, it is not convenient to use it right now.

Moreover, given his family's circumstances, he had a Space Soul Guidance Device ever since he awakened his soul power, though it wasn't large, only five cubic meters, but it was enough for daily needs.

With a leap into the air, Lingxu struck the Golden-Winged Eagle's vital point with his blade.

This strike made the Golden-Winged Eagle struggle a few times before it became motionless, and after a few seconds, a yellow spirit ring condensed above it.

Putting away the long blade, Lingxu sat cross-legged and began to adjust his body and mind.

Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue also began to automatically stand guard for Lingxu.

This is the benefit of having family; there are people to find spirit rings for you, people to guard you, and you can safely entrust your back to them.

After all, absorbing a spirit ring is the most dangerous time for a spirit master, and Lingxu felt very reassured by his family.

This was not Lingxu's first time absorbing a spirit ring, and with the experience from the last time, Lingxu's absorption speed was very fast.

Although it was close to the limit for a second spirit ring, Lingxu's overall physical quality had previously increased by 30%, allowing him to absorb this spirit ring with half the effort.

Time passed slowly, and when two spirit rings successfully circled Lingxu's body, he had succeeded.

By the time Lingxu opened his eyes, it was already night.

Seeing Lingxu stand up, the hanging hearts of Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue finally settled.

"Dad, Mom, I succeeded," Lingxu said.

"Good, as long as you succeeded," Luo Xingyue said.

"Let's see what the spirit skill is," Ling Bufan said.

Lingxu circulated his soul power, two spirit rings were released from his body, his martial soul protected him, and he used his second spirit skill.

A golden light flashed, Lingxu's body also expanded slightly, and a pair of golden wings were released from his back.

"What are the effects of this spirit skill?" Ling Bufan continued to ask.

Lingxu said, "After using it, my physical strength increases by 60%, my agility increases by 60%, and my soul power consumption is extremely low while I am flying."

"That's quite alright! It can increase both strength and speed, and sometimes having a flight spirit skill is very important; it can save your life at critical moments."

The two of them, as a couple, understood this deeply.

Lingxu also gave this spirit skill a name, calling it Holy Light Wings.

Overall, Lingxu's two spirit skills were somewhat ordinary, but isn't this the Douluo World?

For an ordinary martial soul, it was still quite good.

Lingxu's martial soul is a mutated martial soul, just with an extra pair of wings on top of a Holy Light Tiger; it is not a top-tier martial soul, but it cannot be considered bad either, likely at an upper-middle level.

【Ding... Congratulations to the host, Qian Renxue has triggered a system mission: she wants to eat the pastries you made. Mission reward: 1,000,000 Gold Soul Coins】

【Ding... Congratulations to the host, Qian Renxue has triggered a system mission: she wants to play games with you. Mission reward: Phantom Shadow Steps】

A reward of one million Gold Soul Coins?

Although money is very important, I don't particularly need it right now, but I can't be without it either, so I'll take it.

This Phantom Shadow Steps, is it a movement technique?

Great, the mission finally refreshed a movement technique.

The system missions are all triggered from Qian Renxue, but how many demands could a six-year-old Qian Renxue possibly have?

They are all missions triggered by daily life, and since the missions are relatively simple, the mission rewards Lingxu receives are not particularly good either.

But the quality of these mission rewards fluctuates; at the very least, simple missions can sometimes refresh good items.

"Dad, Mom, let's hurry back." Lingxu was already impatient to return.

Even if it is already midnight when they get home, he still has to make the pastries to give to Qian Renxue tomorrow to complete the mission.

And there is also the Phantom Shadow Steps; Lingxu wants to obtain it immediately as well.

At this moment, to Lingxu, Qian Renxue seems just like an NPC, issuing missions and turning them in.

But as for Qian Renxue, after spending this time together, he also likes her very much.

Therefore, making pastries for Qian Renxue is also something he does willingly.

Of course, this is not bootlicking; he certainly likes such a cute little sister, just like his own biological sister.

Besides, even if it were bootlicking, so what?
