Chapter 121: with translation of chapter title

Yu Yuanzhen enjoyed his granddaughter's massage for a while, then said, "All right, all right, Grandpa will help you. Get ready yourself; our training starts tomorrow."

The effect of body tempering at least takes one to two years to take effect. Get familiar with the environment, oh, right, this courtyard isn't just yours alone; Tianheng also lives in the inner courtyard, he lives right below your floor. From now on, Tianheng will be your younger brother, and there's also Yu Tianxin, he lives in the neighboring courtyard. Handle your relationship well, don't let Grandpa worry, understand?

Qian Renxue ignored Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, she was more concerned about the cultivation issue, astonished she asked: "One to two years? How could it be that long?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Yuanzhen asked, somewhat puzzled: "One to two years is already fast. In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, they start body tempering early at age five, and it takes about ten years to achieve anything. You're only this far ahead because Grandpa is here, saving you a lot of time, right?"

En

Qian Renxue hesitated a bit, really need to spend that much time on body training? Wouldn't the effect of heavenly treasures be better? When she was in the Spirit Hall, she did it like that: a mouthful of whale gelatin directly equals two months of ordinary person's physical training, let alone other treasures, she devoured things fiercely every day.

For this, Qian Daoliu doesn't even know how many gold soul coins he's spent on her; Qian Daoliu once jokingly said the gold soul coins spent on Qian Renxue could rebuild most of Spirit Hall City.

If it weren't for his granddaughter, he really wouldn't want to spend so much money.

Qian Renxue's physical fitness was completely raised this way by taking shortcuts, easy and fast—look at what she's done to Tian Yue! We gold soul coin players are truly skilled!

"Tianlin! The faster the body tempering, the better—you're already nine years old." Yu Yuanzheng looked at Qian Renxue's hesitant expression, his face instantly turned stern as he said: "Body tempering is laying the foundation for you; the more perfect your foundation, the greater your future achievements will be, for the body is the foundation of a soul master! Your martial soul's attack power is terrifyingly astonishing, but precisely because of that! You absolutely cannot become a glass cannon that only has attack power! That kind of one-hit-and-out soul master is completely heretical; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect can't afford such a person."

"You absolutely must not learn those melodramatic dog-blood dramas—before, all kinds of hype about war gods, the strongest, as soon as they step onto the stage they get injured easily; that kind of soul master is purely heaven-defying, Grandpa forbids you from learning that trash culture! You need a lasting, strong body to fight to your heart's content!"

"Yes! I understand, then we'll start tomorrow."

What Yu Yuanzhen said is correct; according to his "pink muscle" theory, as long as through body tempering one transforms all the body's muscles into "pink muscle," achieving the perfect degree where strength and endurance are both fully combined, her future will undoubtedly be brighter.

For ordinary soul masters on the Douluo Continent, the foundation is actually not important; soul power level is what matters most, because their future limit is just that—they simply cannot reach the realm that requires a solid foundation.

But for people like Jun Wuhuan, Ye Feng, and Qian Renxue, they are not merely existences that stop at becoming Titled Douluo; naturally, the stronger the foundation, the better.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded satisfactorily, "If you can figure it out, that's naturally the best."

He turned around and patted Qian Renxue's shoulder, "Well, it's not early today; rest well for a day, tomorrow morning Grandpa will take you to officially begin studying—this training is quite fearsome, so don't chicken out when the time comes."

Afterwards, seeing Qian Renxue's dissatisfied expression, he smiled and got up to leave.

"Hmph! Cultivation I'm serious about!" Seeing Yu Yuanzhen off, Qian Renxue muttered.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! How is it? Will Tianlin really live with us?"

Yu Tianheng hid carefully behind the trees in the courtyard, seeing Yu Yuanzhen come down from upstairs, he hurried over.

Upon closer look, Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianci were also there.

"En, the room on the second floor is Tianlin's; from now on you should study well with Tianlin, and you ought to call her sister! Understand? Tomorrow you can also come try Tianlin's cultivation—although you probably won't be able to master it, it will still benefit you."

Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately cheered, "Great, that means I can always be with her from now on!"

Yu Tianxin felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart and said, "Great Grandpa! What about me? Can I also participate in cultivation? I don't want Tianheng to catch up to me! I also want to become stronger!"

Yu Tianxin is the close grandson of Yu Luomian, his talent is not bad, and Yu Yuanzhen usually takes good care of him.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, "If Tianxin is willing, of course he can come too."

Seeing Yu Tianxin also call out happily, he then turned his head to look at the hesitant Yu Tianci, raised his eyebrows, but his attitude toward Yu Tianci wasn't as good.

"What? You also want to join? You're already in your twenties, why are you joining the fun? Do you also want to redo the basics?"

Yu Tianci gave a fawning smile, "Isn't this just to consolidate the foundation a bit? Also thinking about the future."

Yu Yuanzhen gave a cold snort, "Future? Hah, sure it's for the future, but it's not about cultivation—get lost, Tianlin isn't someone you can think of! Put away your petty thoughts; if I see you approaching her, you'll never be allowed back into the sect for the rest of your life—understand?"

"This is." Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's icy gaze, Yu Tianci still wilted, disappointed he left the courtyard.

Yu Yuan Zhen's eyes held a piercing coldness; he turned his head and said to the Twin Stars: "From now on, keep an eye on Yu Tianci, don't let him approach your sister—what a scoundrel, at over twenty he can't even control his lower half, daring to lust after his own sister!"

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin exchanged a glance, solemnly accepting the mission! "Grandfather, rest assured! I will definitely watch over Tianci gege, not letting him approach!"

"Yes, with me here, I will surely protect Tianlin jiejie well; Great Grandfather, don't worry!"

"Good, get up early tomorrow morning."

Yu Yuan Zhen nodded satisfied, patted both of their shoulders, and then left the courtyard.

Yu Tianxin watched Yu Yuan Zhen leave, then walked toward the courtyard.

Yu Tianheng sidestepped, using his shoulder to block Yu Tianxin.

Yu Tianxin turned his head, looking puzzled, and asked: "Tianheng, what do you mean? Can't my cousin come sit in your courtyard?"

Yu Tianheng said with a fake smile: "Tianxin gege, what are you talking about? Normally it wouldn't matter, but today it's not possible—Tianlin jiejie has just moved into the inner courtyard, and as her younger brother I need to speak some private family words with her; tonight is getting late, Tianxin gege, if you're tired, why not go rest first? We have to get up early tomorrow."

Yu Tianxin furrowed his brows, a hint of blue electricity flickering in his eyes, looking quite extraordinary.

"Yu Tianheng, are you trying to compete with me?"

Yu Tianheng snorted coldly: "Afraid of you? From childhood we've always been competing! The position of sect heir you've never thought of giving up!"

Yu Tianxin stared in disbelief, unable to believe that these words came from his cousin who had always wanted to escape the sect; he had originally constantly wanted to flee to Yu Xiaogang's side.

Yu Tianxin asked strangely:

"Yu Tianheng, haven't you always felt that Great Grandfather is too strict, forcing you to cultivate regardless of your preferences, wanting a bit more freedom, not wanting to inherit the sect heir position? Why are you suddenly trying to compete with me?"

Yu Tianheng suddenly fell silent; precisely for this reason he did not wish for the sister he had just found to end up like his former self, each day only dull cultivation, no one caring about his wishes, grandfather and father only concerned with whether he grew stronger each day.

He did not want Yu Tianlin to be treated that way either; with her greater talent, she had surely taken his place, and just two weeks ago, Yu Yuan Zhen stopped asking daily about his cultivation progress, checking his homework, and instead began to care whether he was happy today.

Although a week later grandfather would lead the clansmen away on an important mission concerning the sect's revival, those two weeks were absolutely the happiest Yu Tianheng had ever experienced.

But today, grandfather returned with his sister Yu Tianlin, and his gaze upon the girl in his arms was exactly the same as how he once looked at himself.

Yu Tianheng understood: grandfather had found a replacement, someone who could defeat him with a single glance, the strongest genius capable of leading the sect to its peak.

From now on, everything he was unwilling to do has been completely replaced by his genius sister.

However, Yu Tianheng inexplicably felt a desire to protect the sister he had just found, at least wanting her to be happy each day rather than only dull cultivation. Yu Tianxin snorted at the silent Yu Tianheng before him: "Forget it! I'm not interested in knowing either; the Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon Sect has always relied on strength to speak—don't think that just because Great Grandfather is the sect leader you can be carefree; a one-year age gap cannot be erased by a single rank of innate soul power."

Yu Tianxin glanced again at the bright light spilling from the second-floor window, then said coldly: "Don't forget, she's your sister now! Be careful—I'll go tell Uncle Jing Cheng and have him sue you!"

Yu Tianheng shook his head calmly, his right hand curled into a claw, his eyes firm, appearing ready to strike at any moment.

"I have no other thoughts; I just can't let you in today."

Seeing Yu Tianheng like that, Yu Tianxin inexplicably felt a hint of happiness, which soon turned into irritated annoyance.

That bastard Yu Tianheng has the best talent, the strongest Titled Douluo grandfather, and occupies the best resources, yet he wants to live freely like Yu Xiaogang—everything he desires, which normally requires all-out effort to obtain, comes easily to Yu Tianheng, making him envy him to no end.

"Tch, boring. If you won't go in, then you won't—today I'm giving you face."

Yu Tianxin turned away displeased and walked toward the courtyard gate.

Only a disdainful chuckle remained, slowly spreading.

You better keep this fighting spirit of today; I want to defeat the strongest you, and win everything from your hands openly and fairly! Not like you, relying on grandfather for everything!

Yu Tianheng ignored Yu Tianxin's provocation, watched him walk out the door, then turned back to the room.

Qian Renxue lay softly on the bed, squinting her eyes as she reviewed today's conversation; there should be no problem.

Yu YuanZhen trusted her greatly.

Bang bang bang—

Just then, the room's door was knocked on.

Huh? Qian Renxue then remembered that Yu YuanZhen said Yu Tianheng and she lived together.

"Anything?" Qian Renxue also didn't get up, asking lazily.

Hearing Qian Renxue's voice, the knocking stopped abruptly, followed by a childish voice trying to disguise itself as steady.

"I am Yu Tianheng; grandfather said you are now my sister."

"Hmm, yes, so what's your problem?" Qian Renxue in the room responded casually, brushing it off.

"I'm bringing you clothes; tomorrow's training will be tough, and since you're a girl, you need to wear special clothing underneath—you don't want to expose yourself, right?"

At that moment, the tightly closed door in front of Yu Tianheng finally opened slowly.

Appearing was a golden-haired girl in an exquisite short skirt, black stockings accentuating her leg lines perfectly—this sister had scared him to his knees with a single claw; thinking of their first meeting, Yu Tianheng felt his face start to burn, a desire to die welling up.

Qian Renxue leaned against the door, calmly looking at Yu Tianheng, then said: "Where are the clothes?"

Yu Tianheng calmed the flush on his face, feigning nonchalance with a laugh: "How could I possibly have girls' clothes? That was a lie to you."

"Speak, what's the matter?"

Qian Renxue frowned, feeling the atmosphere unbearably awkward; why did Yu Tianheng look for her? Wouldn't it be better if everyone went their own way? Like in a past life shared rental, tenants in the same room never meet.

But Yu Tianheng this kid truly inherited Yu YuanZhen's true teachings; oh well, it doesn't matter—everyone deceives each other, she isn't also deceiving them? No one loses out.

"Can I call you sister?" Yu Tianheng asked.

Qian Renxue stared, "Just for that?"

Yu Tianheng nodded, "Yes, we will be family from now on, we'll have to meet; I think asking this directly is more prudent and polite."

"I don't care, anyway you."

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment Yu Tianheng's true intention, realizing this kid seemed to truly think this matter was important. Uh-oh, this little brat wouldn't be a family-man hero, would he?

"Sister."

Yu Tianheng immediately shouted, his face breaking into an uncontrollable smile, making Qian Renxue stare blankly; this kid looked rather foolish.

Qian Renxue also felt a bit strange in her heart, then she subconsciously responded with a sound. In the Spirit Hall she had always been the youngest in seniority, always called Snow or Little Snow, and truly no one had ever called her sister before.

"Mm."

"Bang—"

Before Yu Tianheng could continue speaking, the golden figure at the doorway vanished, and the mercilessly shut door almost slammed into his nose.

Yu Tianheng instinctively stepped back two paces, thought for a moment, then said again, "Sister, you have to get up early tomorrow; don't sleep in."

There was no response, so Yu Tianheng waited a moment longer, then left. He wasn't in a hurry to build a good relationship; they had plenty of time, and in the future they would become the closest of family.

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged back on the bed again. She had no time to play family games with Yu Tianheng; she is the great villain of the Douluo world, villains follow the villain's path, while shouting about bonds, friendship, and family charging forward together is obviously the protagonist's road.

As a villain, Qian Renxue needs only pure strength! Compared to playing house, cultivation is still a bit more important; Yu Tianheng isn't Yu Yuan Zhen or a transmigrator, there's nothing to squeeze out of him.

For things without value, Qian Renxue, this wicked woman, couldn't even be bothered to waste words.

She summoned the golden angel's holy sword, her finger sliding across its crystal-like blade spine; the appearance of her angel's holy sword is truly impeccable. My little treasure, how can you be so beautiful? I simply love you to death.

After a while, she calmed her mind to discuss sword intent with Jin Huang'er. Only after using the azure sword intent in the battle against Yu Yuan Zhen did she realize that her sword intent was not, as Jin Huang'er said, something she had condensed herself; it was definitely the effect of that wine gourd.

Rather than saying she condensed this sword intent herself, it's more like this sword intent found her. As long as she hangs that wine gourd on her person, her azure sword intent grows stronger every moment, though it's so slight that without careful attention one wouldn't notice it at all—or perhaps it shouldn't even be called sword intent?

She has no understanding of this azure sword intent at all—where could she possibly have condensed it herself?

However, Ye Feng's martial soul is also a sword.

The wine gourd and sword really seem to match well—could it be a wine sword immortal?

Give this wine gourd to Jin Huang'er to have a look; maybe there will be some clues.

4600 brothers, today after great difficulty I went fishing with a friend, I grabbed a handful of soil and brought it back; on the way back the car threw its anchor—I really threw up. I'll never believe that damn idiot again. This chapter was still typed out on my phone while sitting in the car; now it's 23:40, I haven't even reached the dorm yet—damn it! I still have to go to work tomorrow!!
