Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Why?!" Liu Erlong asked, puzzled.

"Without professional care, he'll ruin his training!"

"Is that right?"

Patting Dai Mubai on the shoulder, Qin Ming decided to let a student with practical experience tell him: "Mubai, you tell me."

Dai Mubai beamed with joy and said respectfully, "Yes, Teacher Qin. It's like this: when we can't take it anymore, the teachers who are watching over us, whether it's Minister Yin or Sister Hua, will immediately call a halt. Even in battles against high-level opponents, a teacher will step in to save our lives."

At times like these, one gets the illusion that we don't need to worry about anything and can simply continue practicing step by step.

Qin Ming concluded: "It's not an illusion, it's just like that. Minister Yin said that he was taken care of so well back then, and he only realized how difficult things were when he personally guided him."

No matter how small the matter, even things like meals, water, and toilet breaks have to be considered and taken care of for the trainees.

The beautiful woman crossed her legs, propped her head up with one hand, her arm pressing against the weapon, seemingly oblivious to the danger, yet she said calmly, "No wonder Flanders and the others couldn't find the time; is that why?"

Dai Mubai, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed. Although he knew this beautiful woman was a Soul Saint, she was single, a situation that was perfect for a master of romance like him.

Qin Ming didn't know what Dai Mubai was thinking, so he simply explained:

"That's true, but it's not just that. Dean Flander and the others were assigned to teach more specialized fields. For example, Professor Shao Xin, as a professional food-type Soul Saint, after training at the academy, teaches students majoring in logistics management."

Speaking of food-type Soul Masters, Oscar asked, "Teacher Qin, why wasn't I assigned a major?"

"You kids didn't listen to a single thing that was said at the academy assembly!" Qin Ming shook his head and said helplessly.

Dai Mubai: "This is such a long talk, I'm lucky I didn't fall asleep..."

Oscar: "Indeed!"

"It's very simple. You belong to the Martial Soul Department and are among the most talented children in cultivation. You are the key talents to be cultivated."

According to His Highness the Crown Prince, you are in the junior group, while Tianheng and his group are in the specialized group. Under the reformed system, with the Elite Competition as the dividing line, if Tianheng and his group are willing to stay at the academy to continue their advanced training, then it is possible that a Title Douluo will be arranged to teach them more advanced cultivation methods.

"No way! Since when have Title Douluos become as common as cabbages?"

Dai Mubai was shocked. At least in his knowledge, the two great empires did not have any titled Douluo-level retainers, let alone use them to teach students.

Qin Ming smiled enigmatically, "I don't know much more, but there are rumors that your classmate Qian Shuishui and the Crown Princess's teacher, that Your Highness, is a good friend of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he has been in Tiandou City all along."

"Oh no! The 'Singer' isn't coming, is she?!"

"This is just my personal speculation. So it's a real pity about Tang San. Soul guidance systems are certainly good, and as a soul master, one shouldn't miss such an opportunity, even if it's just a matter of chance!"

At this point, Ma Hongjun, who had been taken away, rushed back and said urgently, "Teacher Qin! Dean Erlong! Something terrible has happened! Dean Flander has been taken away!"

As soon as the chubby boy finished speaking, a young man dressed in a blue cloth robe appeared in front of Liu Erlong and said in a calm voice, "Dean Liu Erlong, I hope you will come with me."

……

"Uncle! How could this happen!"

Outside Tiandou City, in a remote suburb, the area was in ruins, with charred marks from electricity everywhere on the ground.

"Tang San, what are you standing there for?!"

Tang San, who was standing to the side in a daze, was somewhat indifferent. There was a corpse lying on the ground, and another person, being held in Yu Tianheng's arms, was his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was charred all over and spitting blood. He was on the verge of death when he heard Yu Tianheng's shouts. Only then did he finally come to his senses.

"First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Healing!"

Yu Xiaogang, however, paid no attention to Yu Tianheng, but stared intently at Tang San.

"The mistress... Haotian!"

Tang San's treatment had just begun to glow blue, but it was no longer very effective. As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, his head lolled to the side, and he died.

"uncle!!"

The other person present looked at the scene, remained unmoved, and turned to leave.

Tang San stopped the treatment and hurriedly called out, "Sister Shui Shui! Are you alright!"

Just as he was about to chase after her, Ning Huahua and another middle-aged man appeared on the scene.

After glancing at her departing apprentice, Ning Huahua said, "Yu Tianheng, Tang San, come with me."

Chapter 242 The Case Within a Case

Dai Mubai: "Holy crap... 'The Singer'?!"

Oscar: "Teacher Qin, I believe you!"

Qin Ming: "Uh..."

"By the way, Fatty, what's going on? Why did that person come in person?"

Just now, Ma Hongjun rushed in and had barely opened his mouth when Liu Erlong was taken away by an ordinary man who refused to reveal his name, leaving the group completely baffled.

“I don’t know! The dean was taken away by ‘The Singer’ and another uncle. Anyway, they didn’t care about me, so I ran over to inform everyone.”

After Ma Hongjun gave a brief overview of the situation, everyone was even more confused.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the stands, Feng Jingyi moved the instant Qian Shui's figure appeared, taking a step and disappearing from Ning Rongrong's sight, who was still 'confronting' her.

"Oh no, you kids! Something's happened!"

Although Yin Jin was also puzzled by the situation, he knew that things were serious.

Qian Shui is very likely not in Tian Dou City, otherwise he wouldn't have ignored Feng Jingyi and only sent Qian Renxue to bring Feng Jingyi to find him.

Moreover, Qian Renxue's condition was not right at the time; she had obviously been in a fight, and when they met her, she was still battered and bruised.

Feng Jingyi was covered in injuries, but they were all old wounds, with no new ones. It was as if her soul power had been completely depleted.

If Qian Shui had personally intervened, Feng Jingyi, with her eighth-ring strength, would have only needed one palm strike to render her unable to resist. However, the actual situation was the former.

It's highly likely that Qian Shui himself is tied up with something and hasn't even returned to Tian Dou City. Considering that he and Qian Renxue can exchange souls, they're probably very far apart; otherwise, he would definitely have explained something.

So the Qian Shui who just appeared in the stands looking for Liu Erlong was definitely not him. Looking back at the VIP seats, Xue Qinghe was indeed not there. So the person just now was Qian Renxue, who had transformed into Qian Shui.

So Feng Jingyi went to find Qian Renxue.

Thinking of this, Yin Jin was filled with worries. After Ning Rongrong's outburst, what was Feng Jingyi's mindset? Would those two start fighting again?

Xiao Wu: "What's wrong, Minister Yin? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ning Rongrong: "How would I know? They probably went to find that woman from the Wind Sword Sect."

……

"what!!!"

In an ordinary house on the outskirts of Tiandou City, Liu Erlong, who had just entered the door, suddenly let out a shrill scream.

"Xiaogang! Ah!! Why!"

Although life is unpredictable, the atmosphere here is extremely eerie.

First, there were the dead. There were two people, placed side by side, but neither of them had any obvious wounds. Both were charred black from the attack.

Secondly, there are the people present. While they may not be completely unrelated, they are certainly deeply connected.

Leaving aside the Golden Iron Triangle, they were said to have been famous in the Soul Master world for a long time for their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but these combinations no longer exist today, as one of them is dead.

Needless to say, Liu Erlong was heartbroken and devastated. She lay on Yu Xiaogang's body, sobbing uncontrollably.

Flanders wasn't exactly sad, but he watched the scene with a grim expression.

On the sofa in the living room, sat two young men, one older and one younger. One of them was Tang San, who showed no emotion, only a furrowed brow as he watched the scene.

Yu Tianheng kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression, but his gloomy presence was undeniable.

Finally, there were the two middle-aged men who brought Liu Erlong and Flander, as well as the 'Singer' Qian Shui, whose identity was obvious to them.

"Let me introduce these two—the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo. Let's leave aside the matter of Shi Nian for now. He has a head soul bone. If you want to compete for it, ask these two first."

After saying that, the young man in blue clothes turned and left the room.

Qian Renxue stepped out of the room, feeling a headache coming on. She then walked towards a certain direction behind her and sighed softly.

It didn't know about Yin Jin's guess, but Qian Shui was indeed on Poseidon Island, still in a daze.

She didn't bother Qianshui with the trivial matters within Tiandou City. Putting herself in Qianshui's shoes, she felt down, let alone Qianshui. In any case, they were just some trivial things.

Walking slowly forward, he finally saw Feng Jingyi, who had been following behind him, and Yin Jin, who had come with her.

"Xiao Shui!"

However, before Feng Jingyi stood Qian Shui, smiling as she walked towards her. Her heart trembled slightly, and her eyes, which had just recovered, felt a little uncomfortable, yet she still stared intently at the slowly approaching figure.

Here, this is...

As he spoke, he took out a pure white, smooth, and solid jade box from his soul tool and handed it to Feng Jingyi.

Just by looking at the jade box's translucent, pure, and flawless white texture, one can tell it's no ordinary jade box, not to mention its size, which is about a foot long.

"This is?"

When Feng Jingyi opened the box, she saw a ginseng that was entirely blood-red, and it was a crystal-clear blood-red. There was a distinct layer of protrusions on the surface of the ginseng, which connected together to form a special pattern that looked like a five-clawed dragon soaring in the sky.

"Crystal Blood Ginseng can replenish qi and blood! Don't refuse, eat it!"

Yin Jin, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. His sister-in-law was no ordinary woman! Her gentle yet assertive demeanor not only resembled Qian Shui's, but her gentle warmth replaced Qian Shui's rigid naivety, surpassing Qian Shui entirely! When she acted like a man, she was simply unmatched, even by real men!

But then Feng Jingyi threw down the jade box containing the crystal blood dragon ginseng, leaned forward, and embraced her beloved.

"Xiao Shui... I don't deserve it! But why did you save me! Why!"

Silver Gold: The scene is too beautiful to look at!

Sure enough, Qian Renxue awkwardly reverted to her original appearance.

"Sister Wind...it's me..."

No one knew what Feng Jingyi was thinking, but she stood there motionless, as if petrified.

Yin Jin finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Pfft...!"

Soon, Feng Jingyi turned around and walked away expressionlessly. However, after taking only two steps, she turned back, squatted down, picked up the jade box containing the crystal blood dragon ginseng, and slipped away without looking back.

"Am I being disliked?" the little angel wondered.

"No, she's just shy. She's over thirty, and she never expected to meet Xiao Feng like this, hahaha! Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"
