Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

At this moment, Yu Tianheng also noticed Qian Shuishui, who had a very low profile, and Shi Nian, who was about to rush over.

In the past, Shi Nian would have lost all eight of his lives, but under Qian Shui's tutelage, the young apprentice learned a great deal.

For example, if you act when your opponent's attack is about to reach its end and hit your target, the energy cost will be much smaller, and it will be more difficult for your opponent to escape.

...

"Tell me, what was the situation back then?" Yin Jin crossed his arms and glanced at Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng hung his head and lowered his head. After a long while, he slowly said, "I didn't notice Tang San and Uncle Xiao Gang behind Junior Sister Shui Shui. The situation was critical at the time, and I was only thinking about how to seriously injure Shi Nian..."

As Yu Tianheng slowly recounted his part of the story, Yin Jin finally confirmed what had happened.

Yu Tianheng naturally didn't know what strange knowledge the little girl had learned, and he knew she was very strong, but he had a simple understanding: the Soul Saint was going to kill her!

Therefore, Yu Tianheng decisively activated his most powerful sixth soul skill, Thunder Annihilation Strike.

Originally, this was another soul skill that Qian Shui would have ridiculed, but he was able to transform into lightning and descend upon the world as a form of divine punishment.

Qian Shui, now transformed into Ning Huahua, witnessed this and exclaimed, "A real lightning strike!" She went completely mad, determined to develop some kind of "railgun." However, Yu Tianheng was all brawn and no brains; he was good at fighting, but understanding electromagnetic forces was far too difficult for him. Qian Shui was so angry she almost cracked Yu Tianheng's skull open.

The power and aftereffects of this soul skill were enormous, but Qian Shuishui's warning should have allowed him to dodge it, so Yu Tianheng had no qualms.

In fact, even without being warned, Qian Shuishui could have dodged it, and she did manage to.

But strangely enough, Yu Xiaogang rushed over and was killed by the aftershocks of Yu Tianheng's battle.

From the perspective of the junior disciple, it was very clear that Yu Xiaogang had chased after Tang San, but at the moment Yu Tianheng reminded him, Tang San stopped and turned around very strangely to avoid Yu Xiaogang's pull.

Knowing what level of strength Yu Xiao had just possessed, Tang San suddenly disappeared from his sight. He didn't even stop his forward momentum and charged directly into Yu Tianheng's attack range.

From Yu Tianheng's perspective, it was simply that he hadn't noticed Yu Xiaogang. He was focused on attacking and didn't pay any attention to Tang San's subtle movements.

"After you got here, were you repeatedly questioned by them, with questions like why they killed your uncle?"

"Yes."

Yin Jin roughly understood the whole process of the incident and the reason for Yu Tianheng's appearance.

But it's not the time to tell this blockhead yet, or he might go berserk.

"Go and call Tang San out."

"Yes, Teacher Yin."

"You brat! You're incredibly stupid!"

Seeing Yu Tianheng, whom she had personally mentored, causing such trouble, Yin Jin was somewhat angry, as if she were seeing her former self in him.

Qian Shui's punishment of him was severe, but it also smoothed out some of his rough edges and molded him into a shrewd and calculating person.

That's why he understood even more clearly the disastrous consequences that Yu Tianheng's lack of social experience had brought him.

When the instigator came out, Yin Jin felt a mix of regret, anger, and disgust.

"Minister Yin."

Tang San remained silent on the surface. Even if things were exposed, it could only be attributed to his insufficient cultivation level and a mistake. Therefore, he had no psychological burden.

"Tang San, I am truly impressed with you. I thought you were just a naive child who foolishly went to the Martial Soul Department, but I never expected you to be so cunning."

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Hmph!" Yin Jin sneered, staring at the fearless Tang San, clearly angered.

However, he wasn't there to investigate the case; he was just there to find out the whole story. The truth was none of his concern.

"You don't need to admit it, nor do you need to understand it. No matter what the truth is, none of you will be able to go anywhere before the Elite Tournament. Just wait for His Majesty the Immortal to handle it personally."

"I can really see him?!"

Seeing Tang San's reaction, Yin Jin laughed in anger, "You think you're meeting your idol? Let me tell you what the consequences would be if you met him!"

From the Spirit Hall's perspective, you probably only have two paths: you can be expelled from the Spirit Hall and returned to the Clear Sky Sect because of your second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, and live in seclusion forever like your sect.

They will either have their martial soul and soul power destroyed and be handed over to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for disposal.

None of these options are beneficial to you; they could even lead to a dead end!

Faced with Yin Jin's cold smile, Tang San was surprised that his second spirit had been discovered, but he was confident and said with a faint smile, "Minister Yin, how about we make a bet? I believe that as long as I can see His Majesty, I will be safe and sound!"

Tang San thought to himself: I am a guest from another world, just like him. I also have the Mysterious Heaven Skill! And the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record! And the top-tier hidden weapons of the Tang Clan! These are things that don't exist in this world, and that Qian Shui doesn't know about! As long as I can see him!

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"

"Minister Yin, do you dare not? Or are you afraid that I will choose to return to the sect as my last resort?"

After looking Tang San up and down, Yin Jin seemed to understand something. "You're just as stupid as your teacher who's lying on the ground, or you're even worse than him! Do you know why you still don't know why the first rule can be considered a punishment?"

Yin Jin's words made Tang San's heart pound, and his face darkened. But then he heard Yin Jin calmly comment, "Your teacher doesn't want to tell you either, right? That's because your father can be considered a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect! If you go back, you'll be lucky if they don't tear you apart alive!"

After Yin Jin finished speaking, Tang San's face darkened completely, his fists clenched tightly, and he no longer cared about the bet.

Yin Jin scoffed, "You wouldn't want to kill Yu Xiaogang because of something like this, would you? Huh?! That's really strange!"

Judging from this incident, regardless of his teaching level or what kind of person he is, the fact that he stopped you from rushing to save Shui Shui during that time shows that he is at least very good to you.

The reason they didn't let you know about the Clear Sky Sect was to protect you; there are too many things involved! Do you still feel that their decision not to let you cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer has hindered your development?

That's because the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul represents the potential for disaster, and having twin martial souls carries the risk of explosion!

Yin Jin's words were like heavy hammer blows to Tang San's heart. Although his guesses were not entirely correct, they hit the nail on the head.

Tang San's reasoning was more about discovering that Yu Xiaogang wasn't as theoretically invincible as rumored. On the contrary, he was rather dull and stubborn. Even when many theoretical studies were verified and updated, Yu Xiaogang still stuck to the old ways and tried to instill them in Tang San, especially regarding soul tools.

The Illusionary Red Dust brought Tang San a completely new world. Within the soul tool, he even foresaw a power powerful enough to kill a god! If he could combine it with his Tang Sect hidden weapons, what a wonderful thing that would be!

However, Yu Xiaogang stubbornly kept nagging in his ear until daytime, when Tang San finally couldn't take it anymore and stormed off in a fit of anger.

Yu Xiaogang was still unwilling to give up and continued to follow him, but by this time, Tang San was no longer in the mood to change his teacher.

Because it saw that Qian Shuishui was being followed by an old man, and it couldn't ignore the situation since it had some feelings for Qian Shuishui, it glanced at Yu Xiaogang who was still babbling on and on, and made a judgment in its mind, so it followed him.

The rest was basically as Yin Jin had guessed. The moment Yu Tianheng launched his attack, he used the Tang Clan's Ghost Shadow Steps to evade Yu Xiaogang's pursuit, allowing him to rush into the battle.

With Yu Tianheng's unexpected appearance and Tang San's deliberate scheme, coupled with Yu Xiaogang's weakness—he couldn't even withstand a single blow from the aftershocks of the battle—and the deliberate delay in treatment, Yu Xiaogang had no chance of survival.

He just didn't expect that Yu Xiaogang's arguing was not only because of his stubbornness, but also partly because of him.

Originally, it was thought that Yu Xiaogang was just a useless soul master who was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His closest relationship was with Liu Erlong and Flander of the Golden Iron Triangle. No one would pay attention to his "hit-and-run murder". At most, it would be classified as Yu Tianheng's accidental murder.

Even more unexpectedly, Yu Xiaogang, a level 29 useless Soul Master, actually had the power to influence the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and ultimately managed to provoke Qian Shui to personally appear with two Title Douluos.

"Minister Yin! You don't need to say anything! Even if my martial spirit and cultivation are destroyed, I will definitely see His Majesty the Immortal!"

Tang San had no other choice. He wouldn't gamble, but he was determined to keep going! This was his only chance to turn things around.

Otherwise, given Liu Erlong and Flander's feelings for Yu Xiaogang, even if Yu Tianheng understood the cause and effect, he would have no way out.

"Then you can see them at your leisure."

Ignoring Tang San, Yin Jin turned around, opened the door, and called into the room, "Shui Shui, are you finished talking? If you're done, let's go. You still have a match to play!"

"Ah."

"Let's go then."

"Wait a minute!" Liu Erlong called out to Feng Jingyi and Qian Shuishui, who were getting up to leave. "Why should I believe this little girl's one-sided story? What level is she? How could she see so clearly? Even Tianheng couldn't do that!"

"Ha! Apart from Xiao Feng and the two Your Majesties, even you and Flander might not be her match in a one-on-one fight. What nonsense are you spouting?"

It's worth noting that Qian Shuilian taught Qian Shuishui the basic version of Thorn Aura and the Destruction Light Evil Emperor's head soul bone skill, both mental attacks. In a life-or-death battle, such attacks would be ranged stuns. With the addition of the First Encounter Kill, Liu Erlong might still have a chance, but it's really hard to say about Flander.

At least Yin Jin himself is no match for Qian Shui Shui, but this is a private battle record that no one else knows.

……

Somewhere in the Douluo Continent, there is a pool of water surrounded by mountains. The water is crystal clear, tranquil and deep, like a giant sapphire.

On one side of the valley, a waterfall about twenty meters wide hangs like a jade ribbon across a mountain wall a hundred meters high. The thunderous roar is produced by its impact on the pool below.

Qian Shui, wielding the blood-red Asura Demon Sword, stood atop the waterfall, gazing intently at his feet, and murmured, "Blue Silver Emperor..."

Chapter 246 Azure Silver Emperor

Knowing where the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin was implanted was also a result of Tang Hao's soul search, but Qian Shui was lazy and hadn't thought about getting it back, mainly because he didn't lack soul bones, so going out wouldn't be very meaningful. However, returning from Seagod Island was just a side trip.

Qian Shui was standing beneath the waterfall where Tang Hao had hidden his wife. With a burst of powerful soul energy, the waterfall was cut in half and flowed backward, shooting straight into the sky.

"If only I had expanded the area a bit more back then, this place really isn't far from Holy Soul Village!"

While working, Qian Shui complained incessantly, feeling quite frustrated. He had actually fallen just short when catching the rabbit back then. But even with his strength at the time, he might not have been able to find it here.

Pressing down on the rock face behind the waterfall, a seemingly perfectly fitting rock dented in, revealing a doorway.

"It's quite ingenious, what a pity. But it doesn't matter. It's really close. Tang Hao's strength arrived in an instant. I wouldn't even know how I died then."

We walked through a dark, long corridor along the cave walls until we reached the end, where a brightly lit cave chamber appeared. It was a closed stone chamber, about the size of an ordinary bedroom, with a small opening in the ceiling.

The stone chamber was bare, but directly below the stone hole above, there was a small mound of earth. On top of it, a slender blue silver grass swayed in the wind. The blue silver grass looked longer than ordinary grass leaves, and the most peculiar thing was the fine golden lines on the leaves.

"Wow, I didn't know until I saw it with my own eyes, it really is like that?! Amazing!"

Anyone with some bonsai experience knows that the root system is the true body of a plant. If a plant wants to grow bigger and healthier, the soil around its roots is essential, especially for a soul beast-level plant like the Blue Silver Emperor.

With the release of his spiritual power, Qian Shui easily located the location of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone. Using his soul power to manipulate objects, a black box fell from the top of the cave.

The box is long and narrow, very long, almost as long as Qian Shui's legs. It is also quite heavy, and a sour smell wafts out.

"Good heavens, this must be incredibly precious, stored in such a huge lead box. Aren't they afraid of poisoning? Oh well, with soul power, they might not be so afraid of this..."

Upon opening the box, a gentle yet immense aura of energy emanated from it.

This is a right leg bone, its entire body a crystal clear blue-gold color, with what seems to be twinkling starlight inside, exuding a vibrant aura.

After taking out the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, Qian Shui threw the box on the ground and stored the soul bone into his spatial soul tool.

"What a pity, my right leg bone has already been taken by the giant octopus..."

Qian Shui's right leg bone comes from the essence of dawn and dusk over 100,000 years. It's a giant octopus that would make you lose your mind just by looking at it. It scared Qian Shui so much that she randomly unleashed all sorts of Sea God's Light. When she first saw it, she was carrying the Sea God's Trident and started hacking away. She was afraid that it was something truly indescribable.

"Blue Silver Emperor, you freaking call yourself Ah Yin?"

Immediately afterwards, Qian Shui, her face full of disdain, used her mental power to connect with the trembling Blue Silver Emperor to the side.

"Who are you?!"
