Chapter 67: From today on, you are my sword attendant

In the hidden room

Wait, Bai Ran suddenly realized a problem? Why should I surrender like this? It makes me look so useless.

Human Emperor Banner: You also know that, kid.

Myriad Soul Banner: Me too.

"Artifact Spirit True Form, activate!"

Thinking that I am actually a Soul Saint, erupting with full power, an existence comparable to a high-rank Soul Douluo, yet you two sneaky fellows can still press me down? "Hey, this kid has some spunk, but not much."

She Long saw Bai Ran struggling to break free, his face showing surprise, then quickly used Title Douluo-level soul power pressure to press him down in place.

She Long: "I was scared to death; if he really kidnapped the miss, my livelihood would be gone."

"No way, you're not a support-type soul master, are you?"

Seeing Bai Ran's instantaneous burst of power, almost breaking free of the Title Douluo's control, Qian Renxue (disguised as Xue Qinghe) was also shocked.

Speaking of which, she, Qian Renxue, is also a heaven‑chosen prodigy.

At six years old she awakened the Six‑winged Angel, a god‑level martial soul, and her innate soul power was already rank twenty.

But even so, at twelve she was only a Soul Ancestor of around rank forty.

Seeing the seven soul rings appearing on this boy's body, Qian Renxue actually felt an inferiority, like a firefly trying to rival the bright moon.

Qian Renxue: "What the heck? I feel like he's more of a successor to the god position than I am; in front of him I'm just a raw recruit."

"Support? I am a support-type soul master,"

"Who said a support-type soul master can't support himself?"

Unlike other support-type soul masters, Bai Ran's martial soul not only gives himself a support effect, but that effect is a bit higher.

"No, your amplification efficiency."

"One Soul Saint can match a high‑rank Soul Douluo."

"Two uncles, how much amplification is this?"

Qian Renxue felt her head itch for the first time, as if she were about to grow a brain.

"Never mind, it's only a 374% amplification."

Seeing those two black‑clad guys actually start counting on their fingers.

Bai Ran laughed.

Perhaps thinking it was a waste of time, he just told them the answer.

The Human Emperor Banner's Artifact Spirit True Form, plus the amplification effect that rises with level, just happened to reach this value.

"By the way, should I call you Xue Qinghe, or the Young Master of the Qian clan in the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue?"

As soon as Bai Ran's remark left his mouth, he felt killing intent from the Qian clan's Young Master.

"How did you know my identity?!"

Qian Renxue was utterly shocked.

You should know that only a soul‑master world expert from over ten years ago could know the identity of the Qian clan's Young Master.

The boy in front of me is only twelve years old.

Around the time he was born, the Spirit Hall had already announced that the Qian clan's Young Master was dead.

"It's simple: being guarded by two Title Douluo, in the whole continent only the Qian clan's Young Master enjoys this treatment—not even the Young Sect Master of the Upper Three Sects gets it."

Speaking of which, among the major powers Qian Renxue is also considered the Eldest Princess with the greatest background.

Figures like Tang Yuehua and Ning Rongrong, who would just follow her as lackeys, are hardly qualified.

Too bad, the family is not harmonious.

Sigh, speaking of it, isn't the plot of Douluo Continent just because of two broken families kicking things off? (Tang San started off dead, Qian Renxue started off dead father) Of course, this version of Douluo Continent is a bit different, with the little fairy Bibi Dong bringing a system into the fray.

The dungeon difficulty seems to have been boosted by an unknown power, greatly increasing the challenge.

"Looks like I was negligent." Indeed, on the surface the Tian Dou Empire only has Du Gu Bo, a Title Douluo who barely lifts a finger, and secretly there is no Title Douluo strong guard for the imperial family.

One could say the Tian Dou Empire survives to this day purely because the Spirit Hall, caught in the middle, enforces a continental balance strategy.

After all, in the eyes of the Spirit Hall's successive pontiffs, if the Tian Dou Empire fell, a hegemonic Star Luo Empire would not tolerate the Spirit Hall's mighty power continuing to exist.

Therefore, whenever the Tian Dou Empire loses a battle, the Spirit Hall sends a Title Douluo to act as a mediator.

Title Douluo: "Give this old man some face, that's about enough."

Of course, if the Star Luo Empire still wants to fight, the Spirit Hall will send soul masters to aid the Tian Dou Empire, making the two sides' strength begin to equalize.

Thus, most of the time the Spirit Hall between the two great empires is like a stirring stick of excrement.

However, with Bibi Dong's rise to power, that stirring stick of excrement utterly disgusted the two great empires, especially her rhetoric advocating women's rights.

It made the nobles of both empires suffer terribly.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall's power keeps growing, giving the high levels of both empires a sense of crisis.

This also caused the two empires to shift from former hostility to developing a neutral stance.

"Oh dear, speaking like that, I can't let you go."

"Such a peerless heaven‑chosen prodigy?"

Too bad, even though the other party knows my true identity, they still refuse to be my dog.

Then I have no choice but to—

Seeing Qian Renxue poised to have the two Title Douluo clash, a smile appeared on Bai Ran's face.

What he wants is just death,

not in order to cross over to another world.

As I said before, the Human Emperor Banner has many functions,

one of which is to preserve the master's soul and allow him to be reborn.

Ten Thousand Souls Banner: Brother, that's my function, don't snatch it.

Human Emperor Banner: Hey, little brother, what's yours is mine, what's there to argue about?

Ten Thousand Souls Banner: And yours? Human Emperor Banner: Mine is naturally still mine, hey little brother, what are you thinking? You wouldn't be thinking of eating my big belly, would you?

"Come, you two loyal dogs of the Spirit Hall, if you've got the guts, kill me! If not, kneel down, wag your tail, bark twice, and if you amuse me, I might consider not revealing your young master's identity."

Anyway, since I won't die, Bai Ran simply started provoking.

In the guise of a Soul Saint, I directly unleashed my output at the two Title Douluo.

All I can say is, satisfying.

Bai Ran: I haven't cursed a Title Douluo yet, perfect time to try.

"Miss, I can't take it anymore."

She Long's violent temper really makes me want to grab a snake spear and poke a few holes in this foul-mouthed little brat.

"Oh dear, you youngster, you are indeed interesting."

"As for me, the older sister, I suddenly kind of like you now."

Qian Renxue, while saying that, came up to Bai Ran, lowered her body, and kissed him on the forehead.

"Holy shit, you're so disgusting."

Although Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's appearance leans yin and soft, this look still falls within the realm of a man.

From childhood, Bai Ran had only been kissed by his father when he was a kid; now being kissed by a "man", even on the forehead, Bai Ran felt both physiological and psychological discomfort.

"Wrong, why do I suddenly feel hot?"

Bai Ran: Oh no, I wouldn't like guys, would I? Being kissed by Xue Qinghe once actually gave me a feeling! Terrifying, if that's really the case, I might as well die.

"Young man, from today on, you are this Miss, the future Angel God's sword attendant."
