Chapter 58: Nullifying the Soul Bone Disguise, Qian Renxue Reveals Her True Form
Compared to Star Luo, Tiandou's diet is slightly salty, which may also be related to the climate.
Tiandou is in the northern part of the continent, where temperatures are lower, so salt intake must be increased to resist the cold.
In one meal, he directly ate five gold soul coins; Dai Xiyu ordered only expensive dishes, and his appetite was huge—he could eat as much as two people.
By contrast, Qian Renxue ate very little, and throughout she remained refined and elegant, unlike Dai Xiyu, who ate heartily.
After the meal, Qian Renxue offered to treat, though it was only five gold soul coins, and Dai Xiyu did not refuse.
On the first day at the academy, he basically just spent time getting familiar with the environment.
In the evening, Tiandou Royal Academy also organized a welcome party, titled "Welcome to the Star Luo Royal Academy delegation for exchange and study in Tiandou."
At the party, Dai Xiyu and a few others were introduced to the whole academy by the Zhi Lin Teaching Committee, which especially highlighted Dai Xiyu as "the first genius of the Star Luo Royal Advanced Academy."
Speaking of Dai Xiyu's reputation, he was already quite famous in Tiandou Royal Advanced Academy.
Before even graduating from the primary academy, he could reach rank thirty, and his third soul ring was a ten-thousand-year one—it would be hard not to become famous.
However, being only a first-genius of this level, he still faced considerable disdain from many.
After all, Tiandou's own first genius, Xue Qinghe, had already reached rank forty-one upon graduating from the primary academy.
However, when the Zhi Lin Teaching Committee said that Dai Xiyu was only nine years old this year and his soul power had already exceeded level fifty,
everyone present fell silent.
Even a genius like Xue Qinghe was only at level thirty at age nine.
Dai Xiyu reaching level fifty-four at nine truly deserves the title of Star Luo's first genius.
Even across the entire Douluo Continent, no one's talent surpasses his.
Calling him the continent's first genius is not an exaggeration.
The shock of the Tiandou crowd actually made the old dean feel very relieved.
Last year, Xue Qinghe alone challenged the entire Star Luo Royal Academy, leaving the whole academy unable to raise its head.
The tides have turned; this year it's our Star Luo Royal Academy's turn to regain our standing.
Of course, Dai Xiyu felt no interest in these people's shock and admiration.
Throughout the party, he just went through the motions as he would at a royal banquet, merely keeping up appearances.
After the party ended, he couldn't even remember the names of a few of those students.
That night, after the dormitory supervisor finished checking the corridors and turning off the soul-tool lamps,
Dai Xiyu's room door was lightly knocked.
After bathing, Qian Renxue, dressed in her daytime formal attire, came to Dai Xiyu's room.
Seeing the wet-haired "Xue Qinghe," Dai Xiyu couldn't help feeling awkward.
Qian Renxue always used Xue Qinghe's appearance, which always seemed somewhat strange.
Thinking of this, Dai Xiyu had a sudden inspiration.
Qian Renxue's disguise is the effect of the ninety-nine thousand nine hundred-year Angel Set Soul Bone.
His own million-year skull, far exceeding her soul bone's age by more than tenfold, should have a suppressive effect.
By using his own million-year skull, could he directly negate Qian Renxue's soul skill disguise?
With that thought, Dai Xiyu decided to give it a try.
Looking at the unnaturally expressioned "Xue Qinghe" at the door, Dai Xiyu immediately poured soul power into his skull and activated the soul skill "Cognitive Interference."
The interference's content was to make Qian Renxue ignore Dai Xiyu's eyes.
Next, soul power flowed via the skull into both eyes, and the Writing Wheel Eye also opened.
The next moment, the space around Qian Renxue's body seemed as if some force field had been broken, and her appearance changed instantly.
From the graceful gentleman Xue Qinghe, she turned into a handsome, charming young lady with exquisite features.
It must be said, Qian Renxue's original appearance is truly beautiful, inside and out, with a sacred aura.
Any adjective used on Qian Renxue feels somewhat inadequate.
For Qian Renxue, simply using the word "beauty" in its pure, unadorned sense is enough to explain everything.
Dai Xiyu's steady gaze startled Qian Renxue.
She hurriedly turned away, leaving her alluring curves for Dai Xiyu to see, while she herself looked toward the nearby floor-length mirror.
In the mirror, she still appeared as Xue Qinghe; the soul bone's disguise had not failed.
This let her breathe a sigh of relief, while also secretly chiding herself for overthinking—how could a nearly one hundred thousand-year Angel Set Soul Bone fail so easily?
When she turned around again, Dai Xiyu's gaze had returned to normal, and he even took the initiative, asking, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Qian Renxue's expression stalled at the question, and her feelings became disjointed.
After holding back for a while, she finally shook her head and said, "It's fine; let's hurry up and start cultivating."
Dai Xiyu also nodded, his eyes clear, and said, "You also come sit on the bed; we'll begin now."
After the initial awkwardness, the second time Qian Renxue got on Dai Xiyu's bed, she was no longer as shy and didn't need his help taking off her shoes.
She skillfully took off her knee-high boots, her feet like white jade, and climbed onto the bed.
Sitting opposite Dai Xiyu, she crossed her legs.
In Dai Xiyu's view, Qian Renxue at this moment was completely in her true form.
Her fair ankles revealed faint veins, her toes neat and beautiful, like the divine craftsmanship of a creator god.
A pair of almond-shaped eyes, lively and clear, carried a faint smile.
Her figure had alluring curves, and the mysterious valleys stirred the heart.
She was like a flawless elf, akin to a fairy who does not partake in mortal fireworks.
A faint fragrance drifted to the tip of the nose, making one feel refreshed and elated, with a clear mind.
Compared to the young Zhu Zhuqing, the already mature Qian Renxue is clearly more attractive and alluring.
Dai Xiyu merely glanced over, not staring continuously like Zhu Ge did, so Qian Renxue also didn't notice anything unusual.
After both had adjusted their states, Dai Xiyu held Qian Renxue's outstretched delicate jade-like hand.
Feeling Qian Renxue's delicate skin, he began to transmit soul power to her.
This time, the person whose heart was not calm went from one to two.
Previously, when looking at Xue Qinghe's appearance, I felt nothing at all.
Now, seated before me is a beauty so capable of overturning kingdoms and cities, still bearing a hint of divine aura; whoever it was would probably find it hard to remain calm.
Moreover, Dai Xiyu's body in this life is developing extremely fast, comparable to that of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old Soul Master.
If converted to a Blue Star person, it would be equivalent to a sixteen-year-old youth.
Furthermore, with a mature soul in his mind, being able to maintain control relies entirely on Dai Xiyu's strong willpower.
For the sake of sustainable development and considering morality and humanity, Dai Xiyu does not intend to rely on the skull's "fast forward", but wants to proceed step by step, hoping for things to fall into place.
Only by exchanging sincerity for sincerity can one achieve lasting harmony.
—Who says giving multiple sincerities at once isn't sincerity? Few emperors are exclusive; this is not a scumbag, but universal love!
