Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

"Teacher, the former Pope was indeed a scoundrel. Even if he was Xiaoxue's father, I still think he deserved to die. I don't think you did anything wrong in that respect. But now you're going to do the same thing as him? Treat your disciple the same way?"

Qian Shui stared directly at Bibi Dong. He was always very stubborn, and once he got fixated on something, he wouldn't care about anything else.

"Shut up! It's none of your business to comment on my affairs!" With a powerful burst of soul power, Qian Shui, who had unleashed his full soul power, was directly pushed against the wall.

'As expected, someone like Dugu Bo is simply not worthy of being compared to someone like Bibi Dong?'

"Huh? All he does is yell without any logic, what a feudal patriarch!" (Muttering under his breath)

"Teacher, unless you kill me with your sword today, I will never give up! And I am confident that I can stay by her side now!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong's killing intent seemed to emanate from her, as if she really wanted to kill Qian Shui!

I hope you really can do it!

"I will no longer interfere in your affairs. Qian Daoliu, you'll have to deal with him yourself! You'd better watch yourself!"

Bibi Dong is gone.

"Damn, I almost peed my pants!" Qian Shui patted his chest in lingering fear. "Take a bath, take a bath!"

……

Bibi Dong was powerless; her disciple had seen through her disguise!

Her feelings for Qian Renxue were very complicated. On one hand, she was her biological daughter, and no matter what, she would never eat her own cub, otherwise Qian Renxue would have been dead long ago.

Deep down, she was just like any other mother. The Bibi Dong of the past was so innocent, kind, and naive! How could she not love her daughter?

On the other hand, Qian Renxue is Qian Xunji's illegitimate child! She is the greatest pain and cruelty in Bibi Dong's life! Qian Renxue's appearance took away all of Bibi Dong's kindness and innocence, turning her into a hysterical madwoman! She vowed to destroy the Qian family and the Spirit Hall!

She received the inheritance of the most evil god in the world! — The Rakshasa God!

This is not a good divine position!

...

Back in the Papal Palace, Bibidon slumped on the throne that symbolized power, appearing utterly powerless.

This youngest titled Douluo in history, and the strongest Pope in the history of the Spirit Hall, found herself becoming increasingly lonely.

Strength! Power! He even killed Qian Xunji with his own hands! He even had the divine throne, the ultimate eternity! And he had his beloved disciple, a successor, it seemed he possessed everything!

However, on the one hand, she dared not face Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, she felt that she was unworthy because she had lost her virginity, and on the other hand, she hated Yu Xiaogang for falling in love with someone else!

On the other hand, she now doesn't even dare to face Qian Renxue and her disciples!

Yes, I'm scared! Scared to face that rotten, stinking version of myself!

What's most terrifying is that those who are deeply trapped in it cannot extricate themselves! They can only follow the enormous inertia of their behavior, constantly finding reasons for themselves, and finally getting lost in the falsehood, being completely devoured by the ultimate evil!

Qian Shui already knows everything that happened back then. Given his relationship with Qian Renxue, it's only a matter of time before Qian Renxue finds out the truth!

Having given up her sulking, Qian Renxue must have begun to let go of her resentment. At that time, Qian Shui will surely find an opportunity to tell her the truth and find a way to resolve the conflict between mother and daughter.

But how will Bibi Dong face Qian Renxue then?

Or perhaps they're simply afraid to face it all!?

Since she dared not open her heart to personally fulfill the relationship between Qian Shui and Qian Renxue, she wanted to fulfill the wish of her past self.

She didn't dare to be so heartless as to break them up, and just wanted to admit everything Qian Xunji had done to her!

Perhaps cowardice is Bibi Dong's true nature! The more fierce she appears but weak inside, the more trapped she becomes!

She had never even considered, could not have considered, and could never have considered, anything other than killing Qian Xunji—

She, Bibi Dong, became the person Qian Xunji ultimately hoped she would become!

The hardest thing for a person to face is their true self, the hardest thing to accept is their past self, and the hardest thing to overcome is their inner self.

Therefore, she couldn't understand Qian Shui and Qian Renxue's reconciliation. It seemed to be merely a matter of the two recognizing themselves and understanding what the other wanted, leading to mutual understanding and tolerance! Was it really that simple?

Putting aside the issue of Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong's self-loathing and her initial deception and expulsion of Yu Xiaogang were nothing more than self-righteous self-pity.

Even if Yu Xiaogang really wouldn't accept the insulted Bibi Dong, such honesty is enough to see a person for who they truly are.

Yu Xiaogang is the epitome of inferiority, cowardice, and arrogance. Whether it's Bibi Dong or Liu Erlong, he is equally self-satisfied, unable to recognize his own worth, and complacent after acquiring some knowledge. Despite being weak, he dares to be with Bibi Dong and even dares to make it public!

Ignorant and incompetent!

The two were unable to be honest with each other, leading to misunderstandings and a self-righteous sense of tolerance, while failing to recognize their own limitations! Thus, tragedy struck: Bibi Dong, in her self-righteousness, went to Qian Xunji and confessed everything!

Ultimately, none of this is entirely due to external factors.

Admittedly, bystanders cannot demand perfection from victims, but those involved must bear the consequences of their actions!

Just like owning a pet means being prepared to be bitten, regardless of whether you have a clear enough understanding of whether you will be bitten.

……

Bibi Dong gazed at the starry sky outside the Papal Palace, her once captivating eyes now filled with weariness and powerlessness, and she let out a soft sigh.

She could never deny herself! Deny who she was now! So in the end, she returned to being the iron-fisted pope!

"I can't turn back now!"

……

Anyway, Qian Shui hasn't thought about these things yet. He doesn't want to have to deal with family conflicts halfway through his hard-won romance!

Perhaps we'll think about it in the future, after all, this incident, besides the protagonist's obsession with love, was the biggest reason for the Spirit Hall's downfall in the original story. The conflict between mother and daughter prevented the Spirit Hall's power from being fully integrated, and it can be said that they were destroyed by internal strife.

Otherwise, with two Limit Douluos and more than twenty Title Douluos, Tang San and his group would have had absolutely no chance of winning. It's a pity that they didn't want that.

He only wants two things right now: to quickly gain the power to overturn the table, and then sit at the card table; and finally, to embrace his wife and enjoy a warm bed!

Chapter 119 Unexpected Ripples

"Hey, mistress, take a look!"

Tang San took the information Yu Xiaogang handed him and began to read it carefully.

"Qian Shui, male, age 15, Martial Soul Primordial Spirit?!"

Tang San obtained Qian Shui's information. He was not a Douluo Continent person, but a member of the Tang Sect from another world.

The words "Primordial Spirit" astonished him. "Refining Qi to transform into Spirit is the Primordial Spirit; this is a transcendent realm, how is that possible?"

"This person's martial soul is similar in nature to that of a certain titled Douluo elder of the Spirit Hall; his soul has transformed into a martial soul."

The most terrifying thing isn't the martial spirit, it's the spirit rings and spirit skills you see!

"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Possession, Hundred-Year Soul Ring."

Tang San was even more surprised when he concentrated on reading further.

"Second Soul Skill, Fox's Leap of Concealment, a Thousand-Year Soul Ring?!"

He raised his head, his gaze incredulous as he looked at Yu Xiaogang. "Teacher, based on your theory..."

"According to my theory, the absorption limit for a Soul Warrior is 423 years, for a Great Soul Master it is 764 years, for a Soul Venerable it is 1760 years, and for a Soul Grandmaster it is 5000 years! This is the optimal Soul Ring ratio!"

But this person far exceeded the limits, breaking the conventions of the Douluo Continent for thousands of years; their talent was unparalleled!

Yu Xiaogang commented on Qian Shui's performance.

"But did you only notice this soul ring configuration that exceeds the age limit?"

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"At first, I was also shocked by the super-aged spirit ring configuration, but after studying his skills carefully, I only felt a kind of indescribable powerlessness."

"Soul skills?" Yu Xiaogang's reminder prompted Tang San to carefully examine Qian Shui's soul skill composition. "Is it because they are all too weak? It seems that only the third soul skill called 'Terror Claw Breaking Army' is an attack skill."

"No! This is an amplification skill!" Yu Xiaogang said solemnly. "Putting aside the age limit, it does seem too weak in conventional terms. This is also the most shocking thing about this person to me."

"what is that?"

"Mistress, what do you think of this person's abilities?"

"He seems to be a power-attack type Soul Master. His Soul Ring configuration, which exceeds the limits, should allow him to surpass others of the same level in combat, right?"

"On the surface, that does seem to be the case, but his role isn't necessarily that of a power attacker. At least in his self-introduction, he's described as an agility attacker or a support!"

"How is this possible? Teacher, how could a Soul Master have multiple professions? You are not..."

"This is another unconventional aspect of him; he truly excels in support, agility, offense, and even control!"

"To be able to do all that, this person can't be weak, right?"

"Your guess is correct in principle, because a person's energy is limited, how can they take care of so many things at the same time?"

At this point, Tang San had no choice but to think about things from a very strong perspective, and Yu Xiaogang's next words confirmed this.

"This person is incredibly strong, ridiculously strong! His highest achievement so far is defeating a powerful attack-type Soul Saint head-on with a Soul Master cultivation level of 49!"

"What? Is the difference between a Soul Saint and a Soul Master not that great?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head, about to answer, when a voice came from outside.

"Xiao Gang, why do you need to use the term 'singer' to scare your disciple?"

"Flander...you've come."

"Your name is Tang San, right? I'll answer your question earlier."

The newcomer was none other than Flander, the four-eyed owl.

Facing Tang San, his aura suddenly surged, and his seven spirit rings began to slowly appear one by one.

"After reaching the seventh ring, one possesses a true spirit body and is absolutely impossible to be easily matched by a Soul Master, unless the difference in spirit quality or the quality of the Soul Master is too great. Even a Soul Emperor would find it difficult to defeat a Soul Saint."

Sensing Flander's mountain-like aura, Tang San understood—he understood the level of a Soul Saint.

"Xiao Gang, I understand what you mean. You want Tang San to copy Qian Shui's path, right?"

Having been friends for many years, Flanders knew his friend quite well.

"Yes!"

"But you need to understand that without offensive soul skills, a normal soul master has almost no combat power before level 50. How do you make up for this deficiency?!"

At this point, Tang San understood, and his admiration for Yu Xiaogang grew even stronger.

For Tang San, he not only possesses soul skills, but also the Tang Sect's unique techniques! And hidden weapons! This is his absolute advantage!
