Chapter 21: Qian Renxue, since you've come, why not sit down and have some tea?

Zhexian smiled faintly, "You all have already done quite well."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng and the others still lowered their heads in shame.

Dugu Yan walked forward, a trace of anticipation in her eyes: "Teacher, could you please guide us? We really want to become stronger!"

Zhexian glanced at her, a flash of approval in his eyes: "Your coordination and tactics have already taken initial shape, but your application of soul power is not precise enough, and the characteristics of your martial souls have not been fully brought into play."

He paused, then continued: "Yu Tianheng, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul has immense potential, but you rely too much on soul skills and neglect the inherent characteristics of the martial soul itself. The power of lightning is not just a means of attack; it can also be used to enhance speed and reaction ability."

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Yu Tianheng's eyes, and he said respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I will definitely work hard to improve!"

Zhexian nodded and looked at Dugu Yan again: "Your Jade Phosphorus Snake martial soul excels in control and poison attacks, but you rely too much on poison mist and neglect the flexibility and explosive power of snake-type martial souls. Poison mist is only one of the means; true combat technique lies in how to combine poison with speed and strength."

A flash of excitement crossed Dugu Yan's eyes, and she nodded hurriedly: "Teacher, I understand! I will definitely study the characteristics of my martial soul well and strive to break through soon!"

Zhexian then looked at Shi Mo and Shi Mo: "Your Black Tortoise Turtle martial souls have extremely strong defensive power, but you rely too much on defense and neglect opportunities to attack. Defense is not just about blocking attacks; it can also be used to counterattack. Remember, offense is the best defense."

The two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, heard this, and a flash of realization crossed their eyes; they said in unison: "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. We will definitely work hard to improve!"

Zhexian then looked at Yufeng and Aosiluo: "Your speed and agility are good, but your attacks are too singular and lack variation. The characteristics of the Wind Bell Bird and Ghost Leopard martial souls lie in being flexible and changeable; you must learn to use speed and agility to create opportunities, rather than just blindly launching surprise attacks."

Yufeng and Aosiluo heard this, and a flash of excitement crossed their eyes; they nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. We will definitely work hard to improve!"

Finally, Zhexian looked at Ye Lingling: "Your Nine Heart Begonia martial soul is a powerful support-type martial soul, but you rely too much on healing and amplification, neglecting the initiative of a support-type Soul Master in battle. A support-type Soul Master is not just support from the rear; they can also influence the course of the battle by controlling the rhythm of the battlefield."

Hearing this, a flash of realization crossed Ye Lingling's eyes, and she said softly: "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. I will definitely work hard to improve!"

……

After guiding the students of the Imperial Fighting Team, Zhexian left the academy.

Just as he walked out of the main gate of the Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy, he saw a luxurious carriage parked not far away.

On the carriage, Xue Qinghe (disguised as Qian Renxue) was standing by the side of the carriage with a smile.

Until she saw Zhexian, who was handsome in appearance and seemed as ethereal as an immortal.

She nodded slightly, walked to Zhexian's side, her tone gentle yet respectful: "Teacher Zhexian, I came here presumptuously today to invite you once again to my mansion for a chat. I wonder if you would do me the honor?"

Zhexian's gaze was indifferent as he glanced at her, as if he had long expected her arrival.

Having nothing to do today, Zhexian was also quite curious about what this "Crown Prince" actually intended behind the scenes.

He then nodded slightly, his tone calm: "Since that is the case, then I shall pay a visit."

A flash of joy crossed Qian Renxue's eyes, and she hurriedly turned to the side to make a "please" gesture: "Teacher, please board the carriage."

Zhexian nodded slightly and calmly boarded the carriage.

Qian Renxue followed closely behind and sat opposite him.

The carriage started slowly and drove in the direction of the Prince's Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue poured a cup of tea for Zhexian; the tea fragrance curled, refreshing the heart and spirit.

She smiled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of probing: "Teacher has been away with the Poison Venerable for a long time; I wonder what matters you were attending to?"

Zhexian picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and said indifferently: "Just some trivial matters."

Seeing his indifferent expression and that he had no intention of continuing, Qian Renxue withdrew the topic with slight awkwardness.

After a while, Qian Renxue found another topic, her tone carrying a hint of deep meaning: "What does Teacher think of the Spirit Hall?"

Hearing this, Zhexian's expression remained calm, his gaze as deep as water: "Its influence spreads across the continent, intricate and complex."

A flash of complacency crossed Qian Renxue's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of sincerity: "Teacher's vision is admirable. However, the Heaven Dou Empire is currently beset by internal and external troubles; if Teacher is willing to contribute, perhaps many unnecessary troubles could be avoided."

Zhexian glanced at her, his gaze carrying a hint of profound meaning: "His Highness the Crown Prince cares for the world; that is indeed rare. However, is it really as you say?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled by Zhexian's answer. She was about to ask again, but the carriage had already slowly stopped.

The coachman respectfully lifted the curtain and said in a low voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, we have arrived at the Prince's Mansion."

Qian Renxue nodded, then smiled at Zhexian: "Teacher, please."

Zhexian calmly got off the carriage and looked up at the plaque of the Prince's Mansion, his expression still indifferent. Qian Renxue walked by his side, her tone gentle: "Teacher, tea and refreshments have been prepared in the mansion; please follow me."

The two walked into the Prince's Mansion; the layout inside was elegant yet grand, everywhere manifesting the majesty and nobility of the royal family.

Qian Renxue led Zhexian into an elegant hall, where the table was already filled with exquisite tea and refreshments.

Qian Renxue personally poured tea for Zhexian, her tone carrying a hint of probing: "Teacher, I wonder what your views are on the future of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"The view I hold, the choice is yours."

Zhexian gently poured a cup of tea, his tone indifferent yet elegant.

At this moment, in the hall of the Prince's Mansion, the candlelight flickered, reflecting Qian Renxue's slightly stiff face.

She tried hard to maintain the gentle smile of "Xue Qinghe," but her fingertips trembled slightly.

Zhexian's gaze seemed to be able to pierce through her disguise, reaching the depths of her soul.

"What does Teacher mean by this?" Qian Renxue feigned composure and picked up the teacup, only to find that the tea in the cup had frozen into ice at some point, and her true golden hair and red pupils were reflected on the surface of the ice.

Zhexian chuckled, his fingertips lightly tracing the table, and a wave of invisible Immortal Qi spread out.

Behind the screen, the figures of the Pufferfish Douluo and the Snake Spear Douluo were forced to appear; the two had grave expressions, their soul power surging throughout their bodies, yet they found that they could not move a single bit.

"Why must the two seniors be so nervous?" Zhexian raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for each of them out of thin air; the tea fragrance curled, actually causing the soul power fluctuations of the two Title Douluo to gradually subside, "Since you are here, why not sit down and have some tea."
