Chapter 122: with translation of chapter title

~14 min read 2,657 words

Early morning, the sun just poked its head out from the horizon, and a faint fish‑belly white appeared on the sky's edge.

A gentle breeze brushed past, bringing a hint of coolness, stirring the leaves and making a soft rustling sound.

The dew drops in the grass were crystal clear, and in the morning light they looked like sparkling gems.

The Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect includes a place called Dragon Valley; for example, "This is the Dragon Valley of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect." Dragon Valley is a place name meaning Dragon Valley, and "training field" is a generic term.

Qian Renxue (personal name).

She wore a black, full-body tight suit underneath to prevent exposure, and over it a loose training outfit.

"Your flexibility is pretty good, even perfect; you can pull off these high‑difficulty moves."

Yu Yuanzhen (personal name). Also possibly refers to 'female student' generically.

He also glanced at Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng beside him, drenched in sweat and unable to curl up their bodies, and sighed.

You two, don't rush; stay calm. Don't just keep comparing with Tianlin. Children's bones aren't that hard yet—try a few more times. At this age, flexibility is at its peak. Once you get it, there won't be any problems.

So, can this kind of yoga-like exercise really train one's physique? My breathing feels a bit difficult.

Qian Renxue's voice sounded muffled; her chest felt pressed and uncomfortable.

Yoga? What's that? This is just a warm-up. Tianlin, get up and wait a moment, move your limbs. Grandfather will get things ready. Tianheng and Tianxin, you two keep going. When your bones loosen enough to do the movement properly, that's when we can start formal training.

Yu Yuanzhen took out something like a furnace from his spatial ring and placed charcoal on it.

Qian Renxue leaned in, looking more and more puzzled. "This looks like a furnace no matter how you look at it—no, it is a furnace!"

Qian Renxue raised her hand to order: "Didn't we already eat this morning? You're hungry again? Want to barbecue? Can I have dragon meat?"

Yu Yuanzhen looked at Qian Renxue as if he'd seen a ghost: "You little glutton, didn't you eat enough this morning?"

Afterwards he pulled out a surprisingly tough rope and walked toward Qian Renxue.

After a while, Qian Renxue's ankles were tightly bound by Yu Yuanzhen's rope to a horizontal bar three meters off the ground.

The whole world seemed to overturn; Qian Renxue felt a bit strange—this really isn't just acrobatics, is it?

This is so strange—why hang upside down?

Yu Yuanzhen continued: "Of course it's because you're a girl. Lying on the ground wouldn't you feel suffocated? You're not one of those flat-chested tomboys."

Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin instinctively glanced at Qian Renxue's front, then blushed and quickly looked away—she's really well-endowed.

Big sister is quite well-endowed.

Tianlin, your task now is to strive to lift your upper body backward and hold that posture—give it a try.

Qian Renxue stared, then shook her body to lift her upper torso, then bend backward; to bend her upper torso backward while hanging upside down, she could only rely on her waist, abdomen, and leg muscles.

Excellent! You got it on the first try—truly, a genius's comprehension is different. This not only trains the legs and waist, it also benefits the spine. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters later all have to open the dragon spine! Qian Renxue nodded in understanding; this move isn't hard for her. She glanced again at Yu Yuanzhen, who had moved the furnace to right beneath her.

Hey! (#`O′) Old geezer, what do you mean? You're not going to roast me, are you? You treating me like earth dragon meat?

Yu Yuanzhen let out an extremely hearty laugh.

Correct! To keep you from slacking, if you don't exert yourself, that beautiful blond hair of yours will be burned to a crisp, little Tianlin—you don't want to go bald, do you?

While saying that, Yu Yuanzhen picked up the grill's iron grate, kept adding charcoal, then skillfully lit the fire.

Don't worry, Tianlin; Grandfather knows his limits. Your blond hair is beautiful, and he hates to see you upset. This is a smokeless charcoal grill—if you get tired, you can actually set it down and rest a bit; as long as your movements are fast enough, the flames won't reach your hair.

Of course, if you slack off a lot, under this heat the hair will inevitably become dry, tangled, and split—what a shame, for such radiant hair, like a little sun.

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile, "Tianlin and Tianheng are different; when dealing with girls, you can't just bind them with responsibility and cpu—you have to use what they value most to coax them into training. Which girl doesn't love beauty?"

Tianlin, don't blame Grandfather; you have the potential to become the strongest, and Grandfather absolutely cannot let you waste your talent.

Yu Tianheng sprang up from a ground roll, hurried to Yu Yuanzhen's side; perhaps because Yu Yuanzhen hadn't kept a stern face today but was smiling, Tianheng's courage grew considerably.

Grandfather, this joke is a bit too much—big sister will get angry.

Yu Yuanzhen gave Tianheng a strange look: "What's up with this grandson? In just one night you've been bribed? You only just met, and already you're protecting her?"

Yu Yuanzhen felt a bit pleased inside—this shows that Tianlin this girl has obediently patched things up with her brother; she's a well-behaved good child.

However, Yu Yuanzhen didn't show it; his face bore a chill, an aura of quiet authority and unpredictable moods.

To make the siblings' relationship harmonious, they need to present a united front against an external enemy; only then will their relationship improve quickly.

What business do you have? Get lost! If you don't want to get stronger, then leave Dragon Valley—don't bother your sister; she's not like you! If it weren't for your sister's sake, you wouldn't even qualify to join this training!

Yu Tianxin, who had originally wanted to show enthusiasm, saw Great Grandfather lose his temper, and the body he had just risen promptly flopped back down.

Yu Tianheng felt a bit apprehensive, but he gritted his teeth and said, "You at least need to give sister some time to adjust! Lighting the fire right from the start is too much."

Yu Yuanzhen raised his hand, as if to strike: "Damn thing! You dare talk back? You're even meddling in my affairs!"

Qian Renxue watched the farce between Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianheng with an amused expression; even descendants of a great clan have it rough—saying a word counts as talking back.

Seeing Qian Renxue not stop him, Yu Yuanzhen felt somewhat embarrassed; he let out a cold snort, lowered his hand, and pretended to suppress his anger with difficulty.

Tianlin, it's up to you—decide whether to train this way.

Yu Tianheng was also startled by Yu Yuanzhen's move, but he firmly told Qian Renxue, "Sister, don't be afraid—I'll protect you!"

Qian Renxue sighed; Yu Tianheng sure has a lot of drama.

She jerked upright, then continued leaning back. Qian Renxue cultivates the Fire Phoenix Heart Technique and bears the ultimate fire; ordinary fire cannot invade her—who knows how many times flames have burned on her hair? This grill is useless to her.

Blah blah, you two are really noisy—just a measly trial, and you want to stop me? I will become the strongest soul master!

That evening.

I'm dying, my waist is so sore.

Qian Renxue lay pale on the bed, having just gone through a medicinal bath prepared from who-knows-what; anyway, Yu Yuanzhen looked rather distressed.

White gauze was tightly wrapped around her waist, a thick herbal scent emanating from her body.

In Yu Yuanzhen's professional terms, it was because Qian Renxue had held the same posture for a long time, then suddenly changed posture, causing the stiff muscles to be violently pulled, resulting in a muscle tear.

The next morning, Qian Renxue's waist had fully recovered; her constitution was already extraordinary. Afterward, her schedule was clearly laid out by Yu Yuanzhen.

Six to eight, sparring fists and feet with Yu Yuanzhen.

Rest fifteen minutes, then resume the daily upside-down hanging.

At noon, there is an hour for rest.

After that, I still have to train with Yu Yuanzhen; in short, it's all training time.

Only after nine o'clock does Qian Renxue have her free time.

However, after his close-quarters fight with Qian Renxue this morning, Yu Yuanzhen looks preoccupied.

When the day's training ends, Qian Renxue drags her weary body into the medicinal bath, feeling the herbal essence seep into her body with a warm sensation, and she also recalls today's gains.

Qian Renxue soaks her mouth in the water, making a glug-glug sound.

The soaking time in the medicinal bath is usually around thirty-five to forty minutes; Qian Renxue's bath today took thirty minutes, and when the bath's color becomes completely transparent and the faint fragrance disappears completely, it means the medicinal effects have been fully absorbed.

After a while, Qian Renxue dries off the water on her body, puts on loose, comfortable loungewear, short sleeves and shorts, fully showing off her slender figure, and then leaves the bathroom.

Creak—

As soon as Qian Renxue opens the door, she sees Yu Tianheng blocking the doorway with his arms crossed.

Qian Renxue looks at him displeased: "What now? Isn't there a bathroom downstairs? What are you doing up here?"

She has a strong sense of territory.

Yu Tianheng looks at his sister, whose hair is slightly damp and whose fragrance fills the air, his heart involuntarily quickening, and he stammers:

"Sis, I'm a bit worried about you; your training intensity is so high—do you need me to help you back to your room?"

"No need." Qian Renxue says stiffly.

Seeing Qian Renxue's unfriendly demeanor, Yu Tianheng hardens his resolve and directly reaches out to support her.

But in the next moment, a fair hand rests on his hand, slides up his wrist, and locks onto the crook of his arm.

Then the girl delivers a swift knee strike to his abdomen, uses the momentum to turn, and slams Yu Tianheng hard into the bathroom; her bare jade foot then steps onto his neck, her hand still gripping his arm's crook, subduing him on the spot and rendering the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's heavenly prodigy immobile.

This is a fighting technique combining rotation and grappling; throughout the process, Yu Tianheng hardly had any chance to fight back.

"A mere weakling actually worries about a strong one's situation—you're downright ridiculous."

The golden-haired girl's aloof gaze from above, and the undisguised mockery in her violet pupils, are blinding to Yu Tianheng lying on the ground.

Yu Tianheng, who was originally mild-mannered and indifferent to everything, being thus provoked and mocked by Qian Renxue, grits his teeth, flips over on the spot, and breaks free of her hold.

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, calmly steps back two paces, letting him struggle to his feet.

Yu Tianheng clenches his teeth and stands up; for almost the first time in his life, he reveals a fierce, lion-like gaze, and the idea arises in his heart to let Qian Renxue personally witness his true strength.

"How?"

But the next moment, the hot-blooded, youthful Yu Tianheng suddenly sees something that douses him with a bucket of cold water from head to foot, dragging him back to the harshest reality.

The golden-haired girl merely gazes coldly at Yu Tianheng, her brilliant and gorgeous violet eyes gradually turning sharp.

"Are you now planning to fight me in a martial soul duel?"

Killer intent—at this unknown moment, like a ferocious evil spirit, it strikes all the nerves of Yu Tianheng's body; this seemingly harmless, eye-catching beautiful girl emits an unparalleled terrifying killer intent that makes Yu Tianheng's whole body stiffen, unable to move.

Clearly she is just standing there quietly, with no extra movements.

Yet it gives Yu Tianheng an inexplicable premonition that no matter from which angle he attacks her, the next moment he will be swiftly countered, knocked down, or even killed by her.

He will die, he will surely die.

Does she want to kill me, to kill her own brother?

Thud thud thud—

Just then, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly came up from the downstairs stairs, seeing the brother and sister facing each other at the bathroom door, he was taken aback.

"What's going on with you two?"

……

"No, nothing."

Yu Tianheng answered with a sound, then suppressed his resentment and embarrassment, fleeing downstairs in a sorry state; even though Yu Yuanzhen stood here, he still didn't dare to act against the oppressive sister, only able to swallow his frustration indignantly.

Seeing Yu Tianheng flee in haste, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows; after just one day of peace, the siblings are already at odds again? Qian Renxue walks to the living room, opens the fridge, takes out a bottle of cold milk, gulps it down in one go, lets out a relieved sigh, "Huh~ Speak, what business do you have coming tonight?"

Yu Yuanzhen followed behind Qian Renxue, hesitated a moment, then said: "From this morning's match, I can see your killer aura is too heavy, or rather your strikes are a bit too vicious; your condition during sparring is very off—I even dare not let Tianheng and Tianxin practice with you. Tianlin, when did you come out of the Slaughter City?"

Qian Renxue calculated and said, "When? About a little over two months."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, "In that case, the hostility on you must also be suppressed; the world of soul masters isn't just about fighting—social graces matter too. If you don't moderate your force, you'll easily cause trouble; Grandfather will go find ways to ease your mental pressure."

"Also, it's inconvenient for you to apply medicine by yourself; Grandfather will pick a female disciple from the branch to serve as your attendant, how about that?"

Qian Renxue immediately perked up; that's great, she does love enjoyment! She thought and said, "I heard in a tavern in Spirit Hall City that there is a place called Moon Pavilion in Heaven Fighting City that specializes in teaching music and etiquette to soothe the mind; the mistress of Moon Pavilion even possesses a mysterious domain that brings calm, which seems helpful for suppressing my killing intent."

Yu Yuanzhen stared for a moment, not expecting Yu Tianlin to also know his problem and even have found a solution—this really saves effort; he then smiled and said, "Alright, Grandfather will help you capture that Moon Pavilion mistress to come play music for you."

"It's perfect—she's a girl, so she can later help you apply medicine, saving a lot of trouble, killing two birds with one stone!"

Qian Renxue smiled and deliberately provoked him: "The mistress of that Moon Pavilion is called Tang Yuehua; I heard she's the beloved of the Snow Night Emperor of the Heaven Fighting Empire—do you really dare to snatch her?"

Yu Yuanzhen gave a dismissive cold snort: "Without even a Title Douluo, what's there to worry about with that trashy royal family? Tianlin, just wait for Grandfather to nab her tomorrow—Snow Night Emperor? I'll take his woman and he'll have to apologize to me! With the Star Net Empire eyeing us covetously, does he dare provoke my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Qian Renxue gave a noncommittal nod, watching Yu Yuanzhen stride down the stairs with vigor and high spirits.

Three sentences caused the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Heaven Fighting Empire's royal family to develop a grudge, all because I am the young master of the Spirit Hall.

4600 brothers, the body-forging training ends tomorrow. Having Tang Yuehua captured to serve as a maid in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will make logistics much easier,
