Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

The awkwardness of Qian Shui across the entire frequency band is palpable. This mother and daughter seem to be acting, but in reality, their pretense is so real that it couldn't be more genuine.

Looking intently at Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Very good! I agree!"

"What are the thoughts of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team and the Heavenly Water Academy team?"

Ning Huahua: "I agree."

Shui Bing'er: "I agree."

Although I don't know what Qian Renxue was thinking, why did she give her opponent a chance when she had a sure win?

Even if he is a quasi-titled Douluo, his teammates also have some powerful spirit fusion skills. If we add the 'Snow Dance' from Tianshui Academy and the amplification from the Seven-Ring Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, plus the fact that it is a melee, the scales of victory may not be on the Spirit Hall's side.

Therefore, only a fool would disagree with this.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Qian Renxue immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating. "Let's continue this afternoon. I'll give you time to discuss it!"

At this point, it was clear to everyone that Qian Renxue was making things difficult for Bibi Dong in person, and they all thought to themselves: Has the internal conflict of the Spirit Hall reached such a point?

As expected, after Qian Renxue finished her series of actions, Bibi Dong turned around and left the Papal Palace without looking back.

……

"Tell me your thoughts."

"Simple, Sasha, let's team up and beat her up!"

Things took a very strange turn; the situation seemed to have truly become a battle of twenty against one.

Inside a large conference room within the Heaven Dou Empire's headquarters, all three teams in the finals, including their team leaders, were present.

Ning Rongrong frowned, feeling puzzled. She sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Looking at the seven members of the Martial Soul Team around her, who were all calmly cultivating, Shui Bing'er walked over and asked, "Miss Rongrong, do we really want to cooperate with the Martial Soul Team?"

"Didn't you see? The leaders of the three teams were teammates ten years ago. Regardless of whether we ultimately compete for the championship, this cooperation is settled due to the internal conflicts within the Spirit Hall."

"But do we have a chance of winning?" Shui Bing'er's blue eyes were filled with worry. "Even if your team's Netherworld White Tiger can be used, and all three martial soul fusion skills are used at the same time, it still won't be able to shake a quasi-titled Douluo who has a domain, right?"

"Your judgment is correct." At some point, Hu Liena, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened them. Dressed in white, she was not a beauty that could topple kingdoms, but she possessed a captivating charm. Even with her cold expression, she still made Dai Mubai and the others unable to look away.

Hu Liena slowly walked towards Ning Rongrong, but then introduced Qian Renxue to herself, "As a super martial soul possessor, although she is not a titled Douluo, she can still overpower a level 95 super Douluo. She is confident that she can overpower the world, and that is not just empty talk."

"Miss Hu Liena, even if your senior brother came, he wouldn't be able to defeat her?"

Ning Rongrong's focus was abrupt; they were discussing how to defeat Qian Renxue, yet she steered the conversation towards Qian Shui. This surprised Hu Liena; the question was a bit beyond the script.

"We can win! Because the Martial Soul True Body of the Primordial Spirit Martial Soul is strong enough!" At this moment, Ning Huahua walked over and said with a gloomy face, "Our chances of winning are very slim!"

Ning Rongrong immediately understood Ning Huahua's meaning, "You mean Fusion Ring? But what exactly is the true form of the Primordial Spirit Martial Soul?"

"I only ask, what exactly is Qian Renxue's relationship with Qian Shui?" Ning Huahua's words were laced with murderous intent.

“I don’t know what Senior Brother’s Martial Soul True Body’s abilities are, but I do know that a Primordial Spirit Martial Soul ignores defense and attacks the soul directly. You’d better give up your idea.” Hu Liena, stunned, looked at Ning Huahua with a complicated expression. She knew this was Qian Shui herself. She seemed somewhat unwilling, but still explained according to the pre-arranged script, “Leaving aside the Grand Elder, she is Senior Brother’s fiancée and also Teacher’s daughter. Although they have conflicts, they are not irreconcilable. If something happens to her, you know the consequences!”

"Is that so? Then her behavior makes sense." Ning Rongrong suddenly understood as Hu Liena explained.

“My senior brother has been missing for ten years, and even I really want to know where he is. But even though he has shown up, he still doesn’t want to return to Wuhun City, so I can understand my senior sister’s feelings.”

"I understand?! But she shouldn't have laid a hand on my son!" With that, Ning Huahua turned and left.

“Miss Hu, perhaps Hong’er will be alright because of your senior brother’s relationship. But if she wants to ask, she can do it in private. Why humiliate her like this in public?” If Hu Liena hadn’t mentioned that Qian Renxue was Qian Shui’s fiancée, Ning Rongrong might have been more lenient. However, her thoughts were also on Qian Shui.

It has to be said that Ning Rongrong wholeheartedly agreed with Ning Huahua's idea. If she could, she would also like to kill Qian Renxue!

"Our chances of winning depend on Shui Shui. Even if you don't cooperate, we will still activate the Fusion Ring and make the true form of the Martial Soul manifest!"

"You! Although my senior sister went too far, but..."

This is when the three leaders, seemingly having finished their discussion, arrive together.

"Nana, this is no longer a matter of personal grudges. The Grand Elder's interference has caused the Spirit Hall to lose its morality. To be honest, I also want to see her fail!"

As Chen Sha finished speaking, all members of the Martial Soul Team ended their training and stood up.

"Can!"

Chen Sha waved her hand to interrupt Hu Liena, and became serious. The style of the 'Iron-Blooded Shark' was also displayed at this moment. "It's decided then. The four of you will each launch your Martial Soul Fusion Skill attack. Miss Ning Huahua will do her best to assist you."

"The remaining team members, working together with Qian Shuishui and Ning Rongrong to form a ring, if this succeeds, let's defeat Xiaoxue and then decide the victor!"

Except for Hu Liena, the other six members of the Martial Soul Team responded in unison, "Yes!"

This food-related teacher commanded the utmost respect from the arrogant members of the Martial Soul Team. Such pressure was unprecedented, even against Ling Yunzhi at Tianshui Academy, or against Ning Huahua and Yin Jin at the Royal Fighting Team's first and second squads, demonstrating his formidable authority.

"Nana, I know what you're thinking. You have to believe in His Holiness the Pope and the High Priest's power."

……

The midday sun was scorching hot, but Qian Renxue, who sat cross-legged in the sunlight, was completely at ease. Golden soul power emanated from her, and a powerful soul pressure covered the entire Papal Mountain.

The sunlight and Qian Renxue's soul power brought golden light to the Papal Palace, and everyone who stepped onto the stone steps leading to the Papal Palace had an unusually solemn look in their eyes.

The midday sun offered no warmth to Hu Liena. "Oh no! Senior Sister has played a trick! Under the sun, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul can borrow the sun's power, meaning her soul power is inexhaustible!"

Her words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over them, chilling everyone to the bone.

"So that's how it is! I thought she was just a brainless arrogance, but I never expected her to be so cunning!" Ning Rongrong realized that she had underestimated Qian Renxue, and thought to herself that someone with such strength would definitely not be a fool.

Despite the overflowing soul power, Ning Huahua, who was helping the team leaders resist the soul pressure for the students, said, "Hmph, the sun? Even the gods in the sky could pull Him off His throne!"

"Drag me down from my throne? You're welcome to try!"

Chapter 262 One scene ends, another begins: Targeting Bibi Dong's ultimate fate [6000 words]

Mocking voices echoed across the area. Facing the crowd that had gathered in front of the Papal Palace, Qian Renxue slowly stood up.

"Are you all ready to accept defeat?!"

Pope Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Ghost, the two titled Douluo who watched the battle yesterday, were already seated. The three soul bones, which were given as rewards, lay quietly on a red brocade plate to the side, emitting a faint halo.

As Qian Renxue finished speaking, seven figures suddenly appeared on the high platform. The seven appeared silently, yet it caused Bibi Dong, the Pope, to also stand up.

"The Seven Elders of the Hall! Fengzhi, it seems Qian Daoliu really dotes on this granddaughter!" Upon seeing these seven people appear, Chen Xin was in a daze and immediately sent a telepathic message to Ning Fengzhi.

"Your Holiness, there is no need for such formalities. We are merely spectators." Qian Daoliu's voice was gentle, yet it resonated throughout the surrounding area like Qian Renxue's. At the same time, seven powerful soul energies sealed off the entire Pope Mountain.

"Young Soul Masters, don't worry about destruction, just unleash your full power!"

Qian Daoliu's explanation made everyone realize that this competition had surpassed the normal elite competition, and the three halls of the Spirit Hall, especially the Douluo Hall, could not afford to lose. The Seven Elders' actions were to seal off the battlefield and prevent the aftershocks of the battle from reaching the main hall of the Pope Mountain.

After glancing at Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong herself took on the role of emcee, announcing, "The final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Team members, please prepare. The match will begin in a quarter of an hour."

The soul pressure of a high-level soul master is not so easy to resist, and all twenty people in front of Qian Renxue broke out in a cold sweat.

Fifteen minutes isn't a long time, and soon, all the team members entered the square following Bibi Dong's instructions.

"Prepare for the match, unleash your martial spirits!" Bibi Dong, acting as the referee, raised her papal scepter and immediately announced this after both sides had taken their positions.

During the scene, Hu Liena and Xie Yue stood together, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu stood together, and Ning Huahua stood alone.

The Martial Soul Team was led by Yan, consisting of one Soul Emperor and three Soul Kings; Tianshui Academy was led by Shui Yue'er, consisting of five Soul Masters; and the Royal Fighting Team consisted of six Soul Masters except for Ning Huahua. They lined up in a row, except for Ning Rongrong who was second to last, and the others stood in a row behind Qian Shuishui at the very front.

This is the lineup that Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul needs to face.

However, everyone was still surprised to see Qian Renxue with eight spirit rings, because she had an extra sword in her hand.

"Don't get distracted, this is the Angel's Sword! This is the full form of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which combines the abilities of a Beast Martial Soul with its own weapon!" Hu Liena reminded her.

"The competition begins!" With Bibi Dong's command, the final battle of this most chaotic continent-wide elite Soul Master Tournament in history began.

"Seven Treasures True Form!" The battle begins with all-out effort, and at the same moment, the Seven Treasures True Form descends.

A red and blue light screen suddenly appeared and spread. Just as Xie Yue and Hu Liena's bodies collided, the red light enveloped their bodies together.

At the same time, the red light burst forth instantly, spreading like a sphere of light, encompassing nearly half the area of ​​the arena. The red light curtain intensified to its optimal state in an instant, and Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Enchanting Demon—was activated.

Directly above the blue light, beneath the Seven Treasures True Body, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu instantly merged into one, transforming into a dazzling ice-blue pillar of light that shot into the sky. Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's bodies vanished simultaneously, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Snow Dance Soaring—also erupted at the same time.

Under Ning Huahua's full enhancement, the Snow Dance Fluttering Ice Phoenix and its bewitching aura surged simultaneously, one reaching the level of a Soul Douluo and the other reaching the level of a Title Douluo.

Within the red mist formed by the red light curtain, the Fusion Ring was also preparing.

"Hmph! A mere trick! Seventh Soul Skill, Angelic True Form! Angelic Domain!"

In an instant, the enormous phantom of a six-winged angel descended before the Papal Palace, its brilliance mirroring the massive angel statue before the palace. Qian Renxue's aura, as intense as the blazing sun, immediately broke through the powerful aura of the two martial soul fusion techniques.

"The sun?! Qimen formation, open! Eight divine powers! Nine heavens!" As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Huahua floated into the air, and then her soul power began to surge, and colorless light began to condense. "Five Thunder Orthodox Method! Thunder God, assist me!"

Since obtaining the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, there have been no particular difficulties in understanding the cultivation method, and Qian Shui has also gained a deeper understanding of the human body.

The Five Thunder Orthodox Method, though named Five Thunder, is actually Five Qi. The innate Qi resides within the body and can be divided into the Five Elements.

Pure Yang, governed by fire, is the heart's vital energy.

The Lesser Yin within Yang governs Metal, which is the Lung Qi.

Pure Yin governs water, which is called Kidney Qi.

The Lesser Yang within Yin governs Wood, which is the Liver Qi.

Harmonizing Yin and Yang, which is governed by Earth, is called Spleen Qi.

The five elements converge into one, therefore the method of practice is—the Five Thunder Orthodox Method!

Cultivation of immortality is about Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, the Five Qi returning to their origin and the Three Flowers gathering at the crown. All the spells practiced by cultivators originate from the Five Elements. Based on the Five Qi, thunder magic is revered and reigns supreme among all spells!

Where lightning flashed, along with a blizzard of falling snow, dark clouds rose, obscuring the entire sky. "Sun! Hide here! Attack!"

The enormous, ice-blue phoenix, carrying a sky full of snow and lightning, charged straight toward Qian Renxue, whose golden light had dimmed.

This is the moment that Qian Shui has been planning: the Five Thunder Orthodox Method will appear in the Douluo Continent!

Meanwhile, a bewitching figure with long, flowing hair, whose gender was indistinguishable, also attacked Qian Renxue.

Without a doubt, the three attacks were extremely powerful, and the combined power of the attack had reached the level of a Title Douluo.

Just then, Qian Shuishui's childish voice rang out, "Transformation into a Divine Being! True Body of the Dharma Aspect!" With the combined power of the fusion rings of the fifteen people, including her little disciple, they actually activated their True Body of the Martial Soul.

All that could be seen was that her primordial spirit's enormous illusory form was shrouded in a multi-colored light screen. The thorny halo was activated, unleashing a destructive light, followed by the emergence of the Yang God, the true form's killing move, the first kill as it fled in the light!

With the help of the powerful lock of the Nascent Soul Realm by the rules of the Martial Soul, Qian Shui once defeated seven Saint Pillar Douluos in a row during the Golden Core stage, which can be described as an outstanding achievement.

However, such attacks cannot last long, especially since the little apprentice's current cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if he forcibly reaches this level through the Fusion Ring technique, his soul power is still insufficient.

"First Soul Skill: Angelic Assault! Fifth Soul Skill: Divine Sword!"
