Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

"Ah Yao, are you here to hunt for spirit rings too? Are you done yet?"

Chen Yao shook his head and pointed to Qian Renxue and himself.

"I don't even have my own soul ring yet, so I need to help her find one first."

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua hesitated, wanting to ask what the relationship was between these women and Chen Yao, but thinking of Chen Yao's personality, she didn't know how to bring it up, so she kept quiet. Then, her eyes darted around, and she thought of something before speaking.

"Since you're looking for a soul beast, why don't you come with me to Heaven Dou City first and tell Ah Yin the good news? With Ah Yin's abilities, she can save you a lot of trouble."

If Chen Yao were to hunt soul beasts, he would inevitably have to venture deep into the forest. She was both worried about the students who had stood up for her earlier and didn't want to see Chen Yao disappear from her sight again.

Even if she believed that Chen Yao knew their location and would go to Tiandou City after hunting for soul rings.

Chen Yao pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Forget it, there's no need. I have other ways to find soul beasts. Your students' safety is more important. Send them back first. I will definitely come to Heaven Dou City to find you after this trip."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua's face immediately showed disappointment. However, Tang Yuehua also knew the priorities. After hesitating for a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and waved her hand at the three students.

Suddenly, starlight scattered everywhere, and the students, who were already quite frightened, fainted.

Seeing this, Tang Yuehua glanced at Gu Yuena and the others, realizing she didn't have much of a chance. After thinking for a moment, she decided to ignore it and gritted her teeth before speaking to Chen Yao.

"Then I'll go back first, but before I go back, there's something sinister I need to do. You have to make up for the interest you've missed for the past few years!"

"What interest?"

Chen Yao didn't react for a moment.

"Humph!"

Tang Yuehua snorted coldly, and then, amidst the bewildered expressions of Gu Yuena and the other two women, she grabbed Chen Yao's hand and ran towards the impenetrable forest.

Chapter 189 Lieyu White Eagle

"Insanity!"

Seeing Tang Yuehua's attitude of ignoring them, Gu Yuena couldn't stand it anymore. She was furious and her face turned ugly. She felt it was necessary to teach Tang Yuehua what manners were and not let her be so presumptuous.

However, just as Gu Yuena was about to make a move, Chen Yao stopped Tang Yuehua first.

"Alright, the world is going to the dogs, this isn't appropriate. We can talk about this tonight. If you want to come with me, then send your students back first."

"Send it back? How do we send it back?"

Tang Yuehua was initially delighted, but then asked with some puzzlement.

"It's nothing, Na'er. Take these people to the foot of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Gu Yuena was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk, but she still raised her hand and waved it, creating another spatial passage.

She had spent a considerable amount of time with Chen Yao at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so her teleportation location was naturally accurate and wouldn't cause any accidents.

However, Tang Yuehua was unaware of this. After learning about Gu Yuena's abilities from Chen Yao, she was still somewhat worried.

"Is this okay?"

"Don't worry, we'll take them to the foot of Qibao Liuli Mountain, to a deserted place. Once they wake up, they can find their way back to your school on their own."

In response to Tang Yuehua's concerns, Chen Yao assured her that he didn't want to waste any more time on this matter and wanted to resolve it quickly so he could go in and hunt down the soul beasts.

Tang Yuehua hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Seeing that Tang Yuehua had no objections, Gu Yuena didn't stand on ceremony. She grabbed the collars of the students and threw them one by one into the space tunnel.

After the space closed again, Chen Yao said.

"Alright, the matter is resolved. Xue'er, think about what kind of soul beast you want, and let Na'er help you."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was overjoyed and, without hesitation, asked Gu Yuena.

"Sister Na, can you help me find any Sacred Flame Unicorns in the forest?"

Although Qian Renxue was sharp-tongued and rude to Zhu Zhuqing and Tang Yuehua, her words were full of barbs, she was still very sensible and respectful towards Gu Yuena.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction. With the domineering Tang Yuehua as her counterpart, she found Qian Renxue increasingly agreeable.

Without hesitation, he released his divine sense and began searching the forest according to Qian Renxue's description.

But soon, he opened his eyes, shook his head with a hint of regret, and said to Qian Renxue.

"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, there are no soul beasts in the forest that match what you described."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue sighed softly. The Holy Flame Unicorn was an extremely rare soul beast according to records, and it had not appeared in the sight of humans for hundreds of years. She had only been hoping for a lucky break because of Gu Yuena's amazing abilities, so while she felt regret, she was not disappointed.

"What about the Fiery White Eagle?"

After some further thought, Qian Renxue finally decided on another soul beast.

"Let me see."

As she nodded, Gu Yuena's divine sense spread out once more.

This time, however, Qian Renxue was not disappointed.

"You're in luck. There are still a few Fiery White Eagles in the forest, one of which has a soul power of 11000 years, which is perfect for you."

Gu Yuena opened her eyes and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face instantly showed a look of understanding.

Although this Fiery White Eagle is not as rare as the Holy Flame Unicorn, it is equally rare and is also an extremely suitable soul beast for him!

"Let's go there once we find it."

Chen Yao spoke up, and the girls nodded in agreement.

However, the location of the Fierce Feather White Eagle was deep in the forest, quite a distance from the forest's edge. In order not to waste time, the group went directly through Gu Yuena's spatial tunnel.

Almost immediately, they appeared near the Fiery White Eagle.

Qian Renxue and the others were alright, having already experienced it once before and gradually getting used to it. However, this was Tang Yuehua's first time experiencing spatial crossing. When she landed again and saw the completely different scenery around her, a look of horror immediately appeared on her face. Her gaze, which inadvertently drifted towards Gu Yuena, was also extremely solemn.

Gu Yuena didn't hesitate to catch Tang Yuehua's subtle gaze, meeting her eyes with a mixture of pride and warning.

Tang Yuehua gritted her teeth in resentment, looked away, and ignored her.

Chen Yao was naturally perceptive and noticed the strange atmosphere between the two. However, now was not the time to intervene, so he pretended not to see it and planned to talk to them one by one later.

Then he turned his attention to Qian Renxue.

"Xue'er, I don't think I've seen you fight much. This Fiery White Eagle is your soul ring. Go and see if you can take it down by yourself."

"Hmph, Brother Chen Yao, just you wait and see!"

Qian Renxue was extremely confident in her own abilities.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing secretly glanced at Chen Yao, her eyes darting around thoughtfully.

Chen Yao, that old geezer, is truly cunning. He's surrounded by beauties, which amazes her. However, every single one of these women addresses Chen Yao as if he were incredibly young.

Could it be that her previous judgment was wrong?

Chen Yao, like Qian Renxue and the others, had also disguised himself.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was speculating, Qian Renxue had already released her martial spirit. Six feathers spread behind her, exquisite white armor materialized on her body, and she held a flaming longsword as she rushed towards the cave on the mountain peak ahead.

"Boom!"

Not long after Qian Renxue entered the cave, an astonishing sound erupted, causing the entire mountain to tremble several times, with rocks rolling and teetering on the verge of collapse.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion erupted from the middle of the towering mountain, accompanied by flying dust and scattered rocks. Two streams of light shot out from within, colliding back and forth in the sky. As their soul power surged, waves of energy swept across the ground below, pressing down on the flowers, grass, and trees, making them unable to lift their heads.

The intense battle stunned Zhu Zhuqing, who put aside her previous distracting thoughts and focused her attention on the sky, marveling at Qian Renxue's strength.

Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that the powerful aura that Qian Renxue is displaying at this moment is something that even the Soul Kings of the Zhu family can hardly match.

While Qian Renxue was fighting the fierce white eagle, drawing everyone's attention, Chen Yao seized the opportunity to approach Tang Yuehua and, after a flurry of sweet talk, finally managed to calm her down.

However, noticing the constant glances from Gu Yuena, Chen Yao still felt uneasy. He was pondering when to use the Reincarnation Technique on her to recreate the Supreme Bone Body when suddenly his expression changed. He raised his eyes and looked at the sky, capturing Qian Renxue's battle scene in detail.

After observing for a moment, Chen Yao couldn't help but shake his head.

He realized that Qian Renxue's fighting style was almost entirely devoid of skill. She relied entirely on the strength of her own martial soul and soul rings to fight the Fierce Feather White Eagle to a standstill with the strength of a quasi-Soul King. If she had an ordinary top-tier martial soul, she would probably have been defeated by now.

No wonder, following the original trajectory, even after becoming a god, he was still beaten so badly by Tang San, his heart even broken. It turns out he relied entirely on strength and didn't have any skill at all!

Chen Yao was speechless, but at the same time, he fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about how to train Qian Renxue, since he might really confront the God Realm in the future because of the Dark Lord's promise.

Qian Renxue is devoted to him and has even reserved a position for him, someone who can fuse with her martial soul. This would be an invaluable asset, and he can't let her remain as useless as before.

As for how to change it, the simplest way is to throw her into the City of Slaughter and have her crawl out of the pile of corpses. That would be more effective than any kind of cultivation.

But here's the problem: if Qian Renxue goes to the City of Slaughter, will the Holy Angel become a Fallen Angel? This is a question worth pondering.

Chen Yao was also a little confused for a moment.

"The Holy Sword!"

Just as Chen Yao was scratching his head, a loud shout suddenly came from above. Looking up, he saw a blinding white light burst forth, and a greatsword, about ten meters long, with its blade wrapped in flames, completely filled his vision.

As the greatsword slid down, the already battered and bruised White Eagle let out a final, mournful cry before plummeting from the sky and crashing heavily to the ground.

Then, Qian Renxue landed as well. Although her face was pale due to the exhaustion of her soul power, she still smiled at Chen Yao.

"Well, Brother Chen Yao, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Chen Yao glanced at Qian Renxue with a hint of disdain, then spoke to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Qing, what's your opinion?"

"Ah I?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.

Although she usually disliked Qian Renxue, she knew that Qian Renxue was far stronger than her in combat, and she felt she had no right to comment. Although she did find a few things that Qian Renxue did not do well in the battle, Zhu Zhuqing had always fought on the ground and did not know anything about aerial combat, so she did not think much of it and assumed that Qian Renxue had a deeper meaning in doing so.

Therefore, she was somewhat resistant to commenting on Qian Renxue, feeling that she was not worthy. However, seeing Chen Yao's insistence, she hesitated for a long time before finally speaking out about the parts of the battle she had just witnessed that she did not quite understand.

However, halfway through her speech, Qian Renxue's joyful expression vanished, turning somewhat grim. By the time Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Qian Renxue's originally pale face had turned pitch black.

She wanted to get angry and rebuke him, but for the first time ever, she didn't know how to refute him, so she could only stomp her feet in frustration.
