Chapter 96: Qian Daoliu's Summons, Shall We Have a Spirit Fight?

In this current Douluo World, Spirit Beasts over one hundred thousand years old are difficult for others to find, but for Lingxu, they are still quite easy to locate.

Whether it is in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Extreme North, or the Ocean.

Currently, the total number of Spirit Beasts over one hundred thousand years old on the Douluo Continent is enough to allow a martial soul to reach perfection; one could say it is more than enough.

Furthermore, there are God-Bestowed Spirit Rings that can be absorbed; thinking of this, Lingxu thought of the Sea God's God Trial.

After this absorption of a Spirit Ring, the leap-frog absorption combined with the remaining medicinal effects of the Top-grade Lingxue Pill allowed Lingxu to advance to level sixty-four in one go.

Qian Renxue, however, had a bit less; her Spirit Ring age limit was not high to begin with, and she had basically no accumulation during this period. At level sixty, she should have absorbed a Spirit Ring between twelve thousand and twenty thousand years old.

Therefore, Qian Renxue only effectively crossed one level, so Qian Renxue's soul power level did not increase by much, reaching only level sixty-two.

That is to say, she only increased her soul power by one level, which is actually normal.

This is also the current limit of the Spirit Ring Qian Renxue can absorb. When she learned of Lingxu's soul power level, she felt no jealousy; at most, it was just envy.

During this period, some information about the Lingxue Sacred Land was quickly passed to Bibi Dong.

It was all information provided by Hu Liena.

There were even the cultivation techniques for the first four stages of the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art.

Within level thirty, one can only obtain the first three stages; the Sacred Land divides the cultivation techniques into several stages.

For example, when one is a Spirit Master, they are given one more stage until they become a Great Spirit Master, and after reaching Great Spirit Master, they can go to the sect for certification to obtain the techniques that can be cultivated at the Soul Elder stage.

That is to say, the techniques one can obtain are always one stage higher than one's own realm.

Inside the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong looked at the information sent by Hu Liena with a grave expression.

A single Lingxue Pill allowed Hu Liena to successfully advance to level twenty, and she was even taken by people from the Lingxue Sacred Land to absorb a Spirit Ring, successfully reaching the Great Spirit Master level.

Not only that, cultivating the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art increased Hu Liena's cultivation speed by at least fifty percent.

There is a difference between cultivating outside the Lingxue Sacred Land and inside it; this Lingxue Sacred Land seems to be a natural mimicry cultivation environment for the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, and the cultivation speed inside will increase once more.

Looking at the rules of the Lingxue Sacred Land that were being gradually perfected one by one, Bibi Dong felt a chill down her back.

Until she saw a piece of information above that completely attracted her.

The Lingxue Pill can actually change a mutated martial soul; wouldn't that mean Xiaogang has a chance to improve his martial soul?

"Xiaogang, your illness may not be curable at the moment, but if you become strong, you will have the chance to resist it with your own ability."

"If someone deals with you regarding this matter, I will not blame you."

"Lingxue Pill, I must pluck one for you."

"Someone come, Yue Guan, go and select two more children about the same age as Hu Liena for me; I want to cultivate them personally."

Bibi Dong's goal is very simple; she might not be able to snatch a Lingxue Pill, but as long as someone can bring her one, it is enough.

Relying on just one Hu Liena to go undercover is somewhat difficult to sustain alone; she still needs others to go.

And since one can only obtain a Lingxue Pill when first entering, she must send more people.

Just after Bibi Dong made her decision, she heard someone reporting from outside the door: "Your Majesty, that Lord Yu Xiaogang is gone."

"Gone again?"

"Send people to find him!" Bibi Dong said.

"Xiaogang, I know you are in great pain, but you can receive the best treatment conditions in the Spirit Hall. If you leave, who will suppress the illness in your body?"

This was already the third time recently that Yu Xiaogang had tried to escape from Wuhun City, but each time he was brought back.

And after Yu Xiaogang learned of his condition, he thought of the scene from that night.

Having contracted these illnesses, how could he face Bibi Dong?

It would be better to leave this place first.

After two failed escape attempts, this time Yu Xiaogang was prepared and successfully left the Spirit Hall.

After another ten days or so of long-distance travel, Yu Xiaogang arrived at a small city in the Farnoss Province called Notting City.

It just so happened that he met the Dean of the Primary Soul Master Academy here; the two were old acquaintances from many years ago, and this Dean particularly admired Yu Xiaogang.

Therefore, under the enthusiastic invitation of this Dean, Yu Xiaogang decided to reside temporarily at the Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy.

Having found a place to stay, the illness on his body continued to worsen.

But fortunately, when he left, he took a lot of medicine prepared for him by the Spirit Hall, so using it for a year or two was not a problem, and even if it wasn't enough, he could find someone who could treat him through other methods.

Regarding this, Yu Xiaogang was still not worried.

It was just that from the beginning, he had not encountered the true power of this illness.

……

When Lingxu's soul power reached level sixty-four, another month or so passed, and Lingxu also reached the age of thirteen.

Thirteen years old, over level sixty soul power; Lingxu was still very satisfied.

And on this day, Qian Renxue received information from Qian Daoliu, asking the two of them to return to Wuhun City.

After preparing a little and handing some Lingxue Pills to his mother Luo Xingyue for safekeeping, Lingxu and Qian Renxue set off.

Naturally, there were two bodyguards on this journey, the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Pufferfish Douluo.

"Brother Lingxu, Grandfather didn't say anything in the letter, and I don't know why he wants us to go back?" Qian Renxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

Actually, Lingxu was also unclear, so he could only shake his head at Qian Renxue and say: "I don't know either, but Qian Yeye didn't say how long we have to get back, so Xue'er, you can go find whatever you want to eat or play with along the way."

When Qian Renxue heard this, she was incredibly happy and said: "Brother Lingxu, how did you know what I was thinking? I was just about to tell you about this."

The current Qian Renxue is already somewhat different from the one in the novel.

Although a large part is still the same, these changes are exactly what Qian Renxue needs most; at least she knows how to play happily, and when she is tired or suffering, she has someone to rely on.

Lingxu smiled and said: "How could I not know what you are thinking, Xue'er?"

"We are three kilometers away from Silves City; do you want to go and take a look?" Lingxu asked.

Qian Renxue said: "Of course we have to go and see. By the way, I have visited the Spirit Fighting Arena in Heaven Dou City, but my identity at the time wasn't suitable for going in. Shall we go for a Spirit Fight?"

"A Spirit Fight?" Lingxu was stunned; he didn't expect Qian Renxue to suggest this.

But thinking about it for a moment, it actually seemed not bad.

"Xue'er, good, let's go Spirit Fighting. Compared to other Spirit Masters, we still lack real combat experience. Hmm... how about we fight a few matches in every big city we pass on the way back?" Lingxu immediately proposed.

Spirit Fighting not only allows one to improve by battling opponents with rich combat experience, but one can also place bets at the Spirit Fighting Arena to win; why not do it?

"Alright, I was just thinking the same thing," Qian Renxue said.

Afterwards, Lingxu took out a map and discovered that on the way back, besides Silves City, they would pass through three other big cities.

That is to say, they could participate in Spirit Fighting in four places.

Having decided on the return route, the carriage soon drove into Silves Province.

Since it was not yet dark, the two booked a hotel, but for the sake of safety, they ultimately booked a suite.

Regarding this, the Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo could not easily interfere.

After settling on a place to rest, Lingxu and Qian Renxue went to the most famous restaurant here, and after a full meal, the two entered the Great Soul Arena when night fell.

"Xue'er, in the Spirit Fighting Arena, there are basically no battles for a Soul Emperor; most are battles of Soul Ancestors and below."

"A Soul Ancestor is basically the limit, so let's suppress our soul power and control it at the Soul Ancestor stage."

"Also, control the color of your spirit rings; the mastered Breath Concealment Technique can just happen to do that."

Qian Renxue said: "Brother Lingxu, then I will Disguise as a level 42 Soul Ancestor. Hmm... as for the martial soul, I can change it a bit."

"What about you, Brother Lingxu?"

Lingxu said: "Then I will Disguise as a level 41 Soul Ancestor; I won't change my martial soul."

"Right, don't forget to have them place bets for us," Lingxu said.

Qian Renxue nodded, then looked at Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, took out two Gold Soul Coin Cards in her hand, and said: "These two cards have 100,000 Gold Soul Coins each; just bet on the two of us. If we bet too much, they probably won't take it."

In reality, 100,000 Gold Soul Coins was already a bit much.

For an unfamiliar Spirit Master to bet so much on their first battle, there might be problems.

Ci Xue and She Long took the Gold Soul Coin Cards and naturally took on the task of placing the bets.

Entering the Great Soul Arena, Lingxu and Qian Renxue went to register.

They took nicknames; Lingxu chose just one character, "Xu," and Qian Renxue was called "Snow Angel."

This Great Soul Arena was also very strict; they tested soul power during registration to prevent anyone from cheating.

Fortunately, Lingxu and Qian Renxue used the Breath Concealment Technique, and with the current technology of the Douluo Continent, it really could not be detected.

With soul power tested and information complete, after paying the registration fee, Lingxu and Qian Renxue signed up for two battles.

One was a one-on-one, and the other was a two-on-two battle.

The first to start the battle was Qian Renxue.

When the host shouted the three words "Snow Angel," the whole arena stood up.

Because just based on this name, the person appearing might not be simple.

"This is definitely a beauty!"

"First battle, so looking forward to it."

But when they heard the opponent, the crowd became worried again.

A burly man with four consecutive wins, soul power at level 42, martial soul Chain Meteor Hammer, named Iron Hammer A-San; because his martial soul is a hammer and he is the third in his family, he is called Iron Hammer A-San!

When the two appeared together, the scene was silent.

Almost everyone was attracted by Qian Renxue's figure; fortunately, Lingxu had foreseen this situation and prepared a mask for Qian Renxue.

It covered half her face, but even just half a face made the thousands of people in this Spirit Fighting Arena gasp in admiration.

"So beautiful, but why cover half her face?"

"Can she take it off?"

A wealthy person even shouted: "I offer 1,000 Gold Soul Coins to take off the mask; if I am satisfied, I will reward another 1,000 Gold Soul Coins."

After speaking, he threw down a heavy bag, which landed in the Spirit Fighting Arena.

However, Qian Renxue ignored him and said: "Can we start?"

At the same time, the host finally came back to his senses.

"Both sides prepare, release your martial soul."

Whoosh...

A hammer weighing at least a hundred pounds landed on the ground; this was the burly man's weapon.

Afterwards, Qian Renxue also revealed her martial soul, but it was a bit different; her martial soul was actually Disguised as a pair of wings.

That is to say, the Angel Spirit only revealed its wings.

Qian Renxue suppressed her strength, otherwise it wouldn't serve the purpose of training.

"Spirit Fighting begins!" The host shouted and retreated to the side.

And at this moment, someone in the audience immediately shouted: "Iron Hammer, go easy, don't hurt this little beauty."

"Right, Iron Hammer, be careful."

But Iron Hammer A-San did not listen, nor did he say much; he lifted his hammer and actually smashed it toward Qian Renxue at an extremely fast speed.

When introducing him, the host said that this Iron Hammer is ruthless and doesn't talk much; he just gets to work once he lifts his hammer.

Because Qian Renxue had suppressed her strength, she hadn't adapted at the beginning.

Boom...

She only dodged when the hammer fell.

Qian Renxue flapped her wings and then flew up.

But what the Iron Hammer held was a Chain Meteor Hammer; the chain could be swung out a very long distance.

As Qian Renxue dodged, the hammer also flew out.

The chain is at least five meters long, and its attack range is not small.

At this moment, Qian Renxue also became serious.

She must fight accordingly with limited soul power, otherwise this battle would have no meaning at all.

Therefore, Qian Renxue would not rely too much on her physical body.

When the opponent's hammer attacked, Qian Renxue kept flying and dodging in the air.

But this Spirit Master was truly no pushover; he immediately used his second spirit skill, and when the hammer was swung, it actually split into three to attack Qian Renxue simultaneously.

Facing this sudden attack, in her urgency, Qian Renxue also used her first spirit skill, Angel Assault.

This is a melee spirit skill that concentrates the holy energy of her martial soul, Angel, into her fist to strike; it forms a golden light shield when attacking, providing both offense and defense.

And this holy energy has the effect of dissolving and suppressing the soul power of the target being attacked.

With just her fists, she easily neutralized the opponent's attack with a few thumping sounds.

In an instant, intense applause erupted from the spectator stands.

"So amazing! To think she could go head-to-head against that iron hammer with just her fists," someone remarked.

As the iron hammer was knocked back, he could feel the force of Qian Renxue's attack, and at the very moment he was struck, he felt as if there was an invisible pressure on his body.

But this only ignited his fighting spirit.

Roar...

He let out a loud roar toward the sky, then activated his third spirit skill, his body expanded by a circle, and he attacked Qian Renxue again.

While the battle was in a stalemate, a staff member found Lingxu.

"Mr. Xu, your battle will be in the fourth match, which is also the final match of the Soul Ancestor level; however, among those you registered against, there is only one holder of a Silver Fighting Spirit Badge, what do you think?"

"A Silver Fighting Spirit Badge?"

"Arrange it, let me see what they've got," Lingxu said; it would only be interesting if they were a bit more formidable.

"Mr. Xu, there is one more thing I must make clear: the opponent has already achieved twenty-one consecutive victories, and according to his points, if he wins one more match, he will be promoted to a Gold Soul Fighter. Are you sure you want to fight?" the staff member reminded him again.

"I'm sure, I can do it, but don't disturb me from watching the match now."

Boom...

Just as they were speaking, the hammer-wielder was knocked down by Qian Renxue.

The scene was filled with loud shouts of "Snow Angel," and in just this short while, Qian Renxue had gained quite a few fans.

And just as Lingxu was speaking, a brown-haired man not far away looked at Lingxu and gritted his teeth, looking as if he had a grudge against Lingxu.

After the staff member returned, the brown-haired man asked, "Is it done? Did he agree?"

"That person has already agreed to your battle! Then my..." the staff member held out his hand and subsequently received a bag of Gold Soul Coins from the man, at least a hundred of them.

After confirming the fight was on, the brown-haired man turned around and whispered, "Back then you killed people from my academy; I, Qin Ming, will definitely avenge this. Although today's match is not a life-or-death duel, I will definitely teach you a lesson you'll never forget for the rest of your life!"
