Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, the seven elders all wore strange expressions, which puzzled Qian Renxue greatly.

"What's wrong with Xiaobai, Grandpa?" Qian Renxue frowned.

Qian Daoliu coughed and chuckled: "Your Xiaobai is fine. It's just that recently the Spirit Hall has produced a very rare genius, and she and Xiaobai have been getting quite close."

Qian Renxue's face scrunched up, and a chill emanated from her: "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Qian Renxue didn't even care about absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring; all she wanted to know was what had happened between Xiaobai and that person.

After half an hour.

Qian Renxue finally learned what had happened from her grandfathers.

Gu Yuena!
Raised by ferocious beasts from a young age, its martial soul, the Silver Dragon, is a pure-blooded true dragon, possessing the ability to intimidate most dragon-type soul beasts, causing them to willingly sacrifice themselves.

The Silver Dragon Martial Soul excels in controlling seven elements, all of which are ultimate attributes, and each possesses an elemental heart.

Gu Yuena herself is extremely beautiful, and like Xiaobai, she has silver hair.
A twelve-year-old Soul King of level 55, seemingly without a single soul bone.
They came to the Spirit Hall specifically asking to see Xiaobai for a match.
Although Hu and Bai claimed that they were just friends, many people outside the public have already started to ship them as a couple.

The more Qian Renxue listened, the darker her face became. She felt that her position as her fiancée was in jeopardy.

Qian Daoliu chuckled and comforted her, "Xiaoxue, you don't need to be nervous. Xiaobai really has nothing to do with Gu Yuena. They are just friends."

Golden Crocodile Douluo replied, "That's right. We actually did some probing in private and found that Gu Yuena is probably because she grew up in the Star Dou Great Forest and was raised by ferocious beasts. So she is quite simple-minded and straightforward. She doesn't understand anything about ambiguity."

The other elders echoed, "That's right, those high-level soul beasts aren't actually as complex as we humans."

Qian Daoliu rubbed his forehead and said, "Actually, the two of them really do get along like friends. It's just that some onlookers think they have the same hair color and are both equally good-looking, so..."

"Moreover, although you are Xiaobai's fiancée, you haven't appeared in the public eye for a year."

Qian Renxue snorted: "I'll keep this divinely bestowed soul ring for now and absorb it later. I'm going to find Xiaobai now. I want to see who dares to steal my man!"

Qian Renxue spread her wings and flew away.

Watching Qian Renxue fly away, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but say, "Big brother, is this really a good idea? Are we just going to let things continue like this? What about the rumors outside?"

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "Those comments are not important. In the relationship between the three of them, Xiaobai's attitude is actually the most important."

The two demon-slaying warriors asked in perfect unison, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Qian Daoliu chuckled: "Gu Yuena's appearance might be an opportunity. In my opinion, the emotional foundation between Xiaoxue and Xiaobai is not very deep. After all, they have only known each other for two or three years."

Xiaoxue spent almost the entire year in the Angelic Temple, and they only met once during that time.

Qingluan frowned: "Big brother, are you trying to use Gu Yuena to provoke Xiaoxue? What if you get burned while playing with fire? After all, we have to admit that Gu Yuena is indeed prettier than Xiaoxue in some ways."

Guangling retorted, "That's a bit superficial. Liking someone might start with their looks, but looks alone aren't enough. You also need to understand their character, values, and so on."

"Even the most beautiful faces will grow old eventually, and people will eventually get tired of them. Take us, for example. We're all so old now, would we really want to date, marry, and have children with someone just because they're pretty?"

Qingluan chuckled: "Is that why you don't look for a girlfriend or a wife?"

"Besides, our eldest brother is a perfect example. He was even thinking of pursuing the High Priest of Seagod Island. Oh, by the way, that High Priest also seems to have silver hair. What a coincidence!"

"Ahem." Golden Crocodile Douluo gave Qingluan a wink, signaling him to stop talking.

Doesn't Qian Daoliu have any pride?
Qian Daoliu said, "It's nothing, there's nothing to say. I was indeed attracted by Poseidon's looks and strength back then. I never thought that on this continent, besides me and Tang Chen, there would be someone else who could reach level ninety-nine."

“But like me, she has her own mission. She can’t leave Seagod Island for too long, and I can’t leave the Spirit Hall for too long. In the end, we can’t be together.”

As Qian Daoliu spoke, he looked into the distance, towards the direction of Seagod Island, and sighed.

Even after all these years, he still can't let go of Poseidon.

The short-tempered Lion Douluo couldn't stand it anymore: "Big brother, tell me, why does Poseidon like Tang Chen but not Poseidon? In terms of appearance, no Soul Master with a Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is ugly, and while Tang Chen isn't ugly, he's not exactly handsome either."

"You two are both level 99. Although you lost slightly to Tang Chen, it's because you have the pride of an angel saint and were unwilling to dodge his exploding rings and the Great Sumeru Hammer."

"Let alone you, if Poseidon didn't rely on the power of the sea and had to withstand Tang Chen's attack head-on, she would basically have been defeated too!"

Qian Daoliu shook his head: "Perhaps it's because Tang Chen raised his strength to level ninety-nine on his own, without relying on the power of the divine test."

"Whether it's me or Poseidon, we were able to reach level ninety-nine because we are respectively the high priest and high priest of the angel god and the sea god, and we have the blessing of the gods."

"Of course, with our talent, we could actually reach level 99 without the help of divine power, but that would probably take a very long time."

"But think about it, Tang Chen broke through to level 99 all by himself, and he's actually not much older than me and Poseidon."

Qian Daoliu and Poseidon were both around 120 years old, while Tang Chen was 30 years older than them.

Qian Daoliu probably didn't expect that Tang Chen could reach the Peerless Douluo level at such a young age, perhaps because he also underwent the Divine Trial.

And it wasn't even the eight trials of an angel like him, but the nine trials of an Asura!
Otherwise, how could Tang Chen, at over a hundred years old, reach the peak of level ninety-nine?
When Tang Chen met Qian Daoliu and the others, they should have already passed through the Hell Road and obtained the Killing God Domain.

At that time, Tang Chen had already passed the first test of the Asura God.

Later, perhaps the Asura God felt that Tang Chen's talent was indeed the strongest on the continent, capable of creating the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Exploding Rings, Great Sumeru Hammer, and the Nine Secrets of Haotian. Such a genius was worthy of inheriting his Asura God Test.

Otherwise, how do you explain Tang Chen's situation?

Why didn't Qian Daoliu and Poseidon detect the divine aura on Tang Chen at that time?

There are two possible explanations. First, Tang Chen inherited the Nine Trials of Asura, each of which is extremely difficult. When he met Poseidon, he may have only completed the first few trials and had not yet reached the level required to obtain the Asura Blood Sword.

Without the artifact's approval, even if he had divine trials, he wouldn't possess the power of the Asura God. Furthermore, since he didn't have the mark of inheritance on his forehead, he naturally went unnoticed.

Secondly, the Asura God's power is contained within Tang Chen's Killing God Domain. The Asura God concealed the divine aura emanating from Tang Chen, not wanting it to be discovered.

Because he might still be waiting, waiting for an even more powerful successor than Tang Chen to appear!
And perhaps that is indeed the case. After completing the eighth trial of Shura, Tang Chen was accidentally parasitized by the nine-headed blood bat.

Generally speaking, parasitic organisms parasitize others because their own bodies are too weak and they need to rely on the strength of others' bodies.

So, it's possible that the Nine-Headed Blood Bat, in terms of individual strength, might not be as strong as the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent of Hell Road.

Although Tang Chen was injured after completing the eighth test, he was in the City of Slaughter, which was the stronghold of the Asura God.

The place is filled with the power he left behind; who would believe it wasn't his doing?

Moreover, after the Nine-Headed Blood Bat parasitized Tang Chen and became the King of Slaughter, it was able to grant Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Tang San, who later passed through the Hell Road, the Killing God Domain!
Without the Asura God's approval, where did he get the Asura God power to condense the Killing God Domain for others?
Qian Renxue left the Hall of Offerings and flew straight to the Papal Palace. She didn't know where Hu Bai was, so she could only ask her mother.

When Bibi Dong saw Qian Renxue arrive, a look of joy appeared on her face: "Xiaoxue, you've finished your first exam?"

Qian Renxue nodded without saying a word: "Mom, where is Xiaobai?"

Bibi Dong smiled and said, "At this time, he should be at the academy's competition arena. You must have heard about Gu Yuena from your grandfather, which is why you rushed over, right?"

Qian Renxue said, "Is Xiaobai with Gu Yuena now?"

Bibi Dong: "Yes, they both know elemental control. Xiaobai is constantly practicing and perfecting his elemental-based self-created soul skills in preparation for entering the Slaughter City in a little over a year. Gu Yuena happens to be a very good helper."

"What? Is our Xiaoxue jealous?" Bibi Dong smiled, finding it somewhat amusing.

Before any rivals appeared, although they were engaged, to be honest, their relationship was still far from the so-called honeymoon phase.

This engagement was solely at the behest of Sendo-ryu.

They might be boyfriend and girlfriend, but they haven't spent enough time together, and their feelings for each other aren't strong enough.

But Gu Yuena's appearance immediately made Qian Renxue feel a sense of urgency.

Qian Renxue snorted, did not answer Bibi Dong's question, and left the Papal Palace directly, flying towards the Spirit Hall Academy not far away.

Bibi Dong's lips curled slightly; this was going to be interesting.

They are all too young to know what love is, so Gu Yuena's appearance might be a good thing.

At the same time, Bibi Dong was also somewhat troubled and sighed.

Perhaps due to his increased strength, Hu Bai's martial soul, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, has brought him increasingly powerful abilities.

This refers not only to elemental control and the nine divine artifacts.

It was Hu Bai's alluring power!
It's unclear whether it's because the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's inherent allure increased as Hu Bai's cultivation level rose, but Hu Bai unintentionally exuded an invisible charm, like a male succubus.

To say it's alluring isn't quite right; to be more precise, it should be described as charisma.

The martial spirit not only endowed Hu Bai with a top-notch appearance, but also elevated his temperament to its peak.

This alluring power is unmatched by Hu Liena, a Soul Master specializing in mental power, at the same level, unless she actively uses one or two Soul Skills.

It's also possible that Hu Bai's improved cultivation level has caused the soul rings and soul bones bestowed upon him by the million-year-old soul beast, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, to begin to show their true potential.

The active attack capability of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is probably very weak at the same level.

But his support abilities, and the boost he gave to Hu Bai's mental strength, were absolutely tremendous!

As his cultivation level increased, both the million-year soul ring and the million-year soul bone began to break their seals and continuously provided feedback to Hu Bai.

The strength of one's allure depends not only on one's appearance but also on one's mental strength.

The higher one's mental strength, the stronger all abilities such as charm, mind control, and illusion creation will become!
Although Hu Bai did not intentionally release his spiritual power, the aura he usually exuded was enough to fascinate those soul masters in the academy who were not as strong as him, especially the female soul masters.

Leaving aside those unwanted romantic advances, the more talented students of the Spirit Hall, such as Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Shui Bing'er, all harbored feelings for Hu Bai to varying degrees.

Bibi Dong shook her head. Her disciple's charm was too great, which didn't seem to be a good thing. It put a lot of pressure on her daughter.

Such a huge change in just one year.

It is worth mentioning that during these four months...

Even if the Heaven Dou Empire was unwilling, for the sake of appearances and to avoid alienating its people, it had to grit its teeth and hand over the ransom to the Spirit Hall.

If they don't hand over the weapons, it won't just be a matter of losing tens of thousands of Heavenly Warriors; it will destabilize the morale of the Empire's remaining 800,000 troops and could even lead to internal strife.

In these four months, not only did Tianshui City completely fall under the control of the Martial Soul Empire, but even Blazing Fire City, Divine Wind City, Thunder City, and the surrounding small cities also submitted to the Martial Soul Empire!
Thunder Academy in Thunder City has been forcibly disbanded by the Spirit Empire. The dean of Thunder Academy and the city lord of Thunder City were both killed by the Spirit Empire!

One of these two is from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and the other is from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

They will pay the price for their previous support of the Heaven Dou Empire!
The Power Clan has basically disappeared after the last battle. Most of its members perished in that battle, and the few who didn't make it have been put on the Hunting List by the Spirit Empire!
