Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 65 Angel's Love
One day, in the Prince's Eastern Palace, Tong Rui and Xue Qinghe sat on either side of a stone table.

Xue Qinghe smiled and asked, "Xiao Rui, you will be 15 soon, will you hold a banquet in the sect this year?"

Tong Rui was studying a book on Qi and blood. Hearing this, he put down the book and said, "It shouldn't be a big event. Just a simple celebration at home. After all, it's not a coming-of-age ceremony."

Xue Qinghe pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Xiao Rui, how strong are you now? I am only level 47 in spirit power, but I can't see through your spirit power level at all."

Tong Rui smiled and said, "Brother Xue is only 28 years old, and it's already very good to be level 47."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have the top resources of the Tiandou royal family. Xue Beng is young and playful, so I must shoulder the burden of the royal family. My current cultivation level is only accumulated by external things."

“I was able to reach my current level of cultivation simply because of some fortuitous encounters. Unfortunately, these encounters are not replicable, otherwise they could help you improve your cultivation.” Tong Rui said tentatively.

"It's okay. The palace is protected by the Imperial Guards. Ordinary soul masters can't hurt me."

Tong Rui smiled and continued to study the book in his hand.

A few days later, it was this villa again.

Xue Qinghe looked at Tong Rui who was studying seriously, but did not disturb him and asked someone to prepare some food.

When Tong Rui finished his research, the sun had already set. But when he turned around, he saw that Xue Qinghe had already sent someone to prepare hot meals.

Seeing Tong Rui's surprised look, Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "I see that you are very focused on your research, Xiao Rui, so I sent someone to bring you hot meals and dishes on time. Come and eat."

One day Tong Rui figured out some ideas.

Xue Qinghe looked at Tong Rui's excited face and asked casually, "Xiao Rui, have you figured out anything?"

Tong Rui sorted out his words and thought that these unimportant things could be said, so he expressed his desire to share his research after its success.

"I have recently been researching ways to improve one's physical fitness, and I have discovered that Qi and blood are...

Xue Qinghe listened attentively and asked some questions from time to time.

That day, the two talked until nightfall, and Tong Rui went back to practice.

After Tong Rui left, Thorny Porpoise appeared in the courtyard and asked respectfully, "Young Master, should these research results be transmitted back to the Spirit Hall?"

Xue Qinghe thought for a while and said, "This knowledge is not very in-depth. Go to the Spirit Hall to collect some books and disguise them as some private collections."

"Yes."

A few days later, Tong Rui heard that Xue Qinghe had purchased some books on physical enhancement research that were not available on the market from the public, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

After studying for some time, Tong Rui gave Xue Qinghe a long sword soul guide with light attributes and taught him some basic sword skills.

Xue Qinghe "learned" very quickly, and after a month or two, the two began to discuss swordsmanship with each other.

Tong Rui also began to try using different weapons. Instead of using soul skills to fight Xue Qinghe, he used different weapons, especially long swords, sickles and tridents.

After Tong Rui handed over some less important research results to Xue Qinghe, it was time for the semester break.

Tong Rui brought Long Bao and Dugu Bo back to the sect, and then went to the village for treatment. Xue Qinghe looked at the information sent by Snake Spear Douluo, and he turned into the gentle and humble prince Xue Qinghe again.

After school reopened, Xue Qinghe continued to handle official business.

Whenever Xue Qinghe thought of the scene in the yard where he and Tong Rui had a pleasant conversation and exchanged skills with each other, he couldn't help imagining the scene when Tong Rui came next time.

However, half a semester had passed, and Tong Rui still hadn't come to discuss with him. Seeing the information that Tong Rui had broken through level 56 after retreat, replaced the teacher of Tiandou Royal Academy, and trained with the team members, Xue Qinghe felt that he would come to the palace to look up relevant books soon.

So he called Thorny Porpoise Douluo again: "Uncle Thorny Blood, please go to the Spirit Hall and find some books related to spirit master battles."

Cixue thought that the young lady finally realized the importance of soul master fighting, and said happily: "Yes, young master, don't worry, when we come back, Shelance and I will personally teach you how to fight as a soul master."

But unexpectedly, after another month, Qian Renxue's combat experience increased a lot, and her soul power level also made a breakthrough, but Tong Rui did not come.

After reporting to Emperor Xue Ye and asking for permission to observe the level of students at Tiandou Royal Academy, he went to the academy in person and talked with Tong Rui for a long time.

After that day, Tong Rui trained with the team members during the day, and came to discuss combat techniques with Xue Qinghe in the afternoon, and sparred with him using different weapons.

By the end of the semester, Tong Rui had successfully broken through to level 57.

On the other hand, Tong Rui completed his travel and treatment and returned to the sect. When he learned about the sect's development this year, he found Dai Mubai's name among the members of the Star Academy and was a little surprised.

But after careful thought, I think it is quite normal.

The Xingluo royal family decides their successor by raising Gu, and one of Davis and Dai Mubai must enter Xingchen Academy to study.

However, the resources of the Star Academy may give him hope of defeating his brother, so it is not certain whether he can still be as unfaithful as in the original novel.

What's more, most of the women of marriageable age in Xingrui City are the best sent from all over the country, so it is still unclear whether they can have an affair with Dai Mubai.

These are not the most important things. Tong Rui really wants to go back to the academy now. He knows that there must be someone waiting for him in Tiandou City.

As the semester came to an end, Tong Rui was already over 16 years old.

During this holiday he did not go out to treat illnesses or provide disaster relief, but instead concentrated on practicing within the sect.

Before level 95, there is no mental problem similar to that of cultivating immortals. As long as the soul power is solid and accumulated, and the talent is not limited, the breakthrough will be a natural result.

As Tong Rui practiced day and night in seclusion, he finally reached level 60 half a month after school started!
After making preparations, Tong Rui integrated metal into the spiritual alloy of his battle armor while consolidating his soul power through forging.

Qian Renxue did not receive any news about Tong Rui for the entire semester, although she knew that Tong Rui was close to a breakthrough at the end of last semester.

But as time went on, the thoughts and feelings became more and more overwhelming.

Tong Rui is the only person of her age who can accompany her. As time goes by, Qian Renxue can feel that the ambiguity between Tong Rui and herself is becoming stronger and stronger.

Perhaps I inherited Bibi Dong's love for flowers. Whenever I think of Tong Rui's serious attitude when doing research, his carefree posture when discussing with me, and his sincere tone when discussing with me.

The more she missed him, the more she fell in love with him. She was blessed by the Angel God, but for the first time in her life, she felt lost.

She would think about what Tong Rui needed and would be interested in everything that Tong Rui was interested in. As the two hearts grew closer, she began to worry.

She was worried about whether Tong Rui liked Xue Qinghe or herself behind Xue Qinghe. She was worried that after her identity was exposed, he would resolutely break up with her or be honest with her.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he thought that after Tong Rui came back, he had already become a Soul Emperor of over level 5, while he was 20 years older than him, with an innate soul power of level , but was only a Soul Sage.

While secretly making up his mind to practice hard so as not to be surpassed by Tong Rui, he was also struggling with whether his decision to sneak into the Tiandou Palace and conscientiously disguise himself as Xue Qinghe over the years was really correct?
But no one could answer these questions for him, and Qian Renxue could only bury her confusion deep in her heart. Her youth had already been dedicated to herself as Xue Qinghe.

She couldn't bear the cost of exposing her identity because of Tong Rui. Qian Renxue murmured to herself: "But now, I am Xue Qinghe, and I can only be Xue Qinghe!"
