Douluo Continent's childhood sweetheart, Qian Renxue, starts with soul rings transforming into

"You must be Xiao Feng! And these two too."

"it's me."

Inside the office, Su Bei, the director of the orphanage, put down his pen in surprise and greeted the three.

Although Lin Feng looked slightly different from how he looked a few years ago, he was still recognizable.

As for the two stunning beauties beside him, Dean Su couldn't recall having any impression of them.

He patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said with satisfaction:

"When I saw how hard you studied in the library, I knew you were capable of great things."

"When I heard that you dropped out of the junior academy, I felt sorry for you for a long time. I never expected that you would go to study martial spirit theory."

As expected of you, you're highly regarded by the outside world now.

Lin Feng smiled and didn't elaborate on the topic.

"Dean Su, I've come here to bring you some funds. It's not much, just 100 million gold soul coins. Consider it an extra meal for the children."

Dean Su didn't dwell on how Lin Feng could produce so many gold soul coins; he was simply puzzled:

"With your current status, Xiao Feng, you could easily have the Spirit Hall's higher-ups allocate funds directly. Why bother making this special trip?"

Lin Feng shook his head:

“This is my business, so of course I have to handle it myself. Public and private matters should not be confused.”

Apart from the 100 million gold soul coins given by Qian Daoliu, Lin Feng and his companions also had 300 million gold soul coins given by the Nine Heart Begonia family, so they were not short of funds at all.

Upon hearing this, Su Bei nodded slightly, harboring some suspicions:

"Are they going on a long journey?"

"Yeah, almost."

Su Bei smiled and looked at Ling Yuan and Qian Renxue: "In that case, please take good care of Xiao Feng."

If you're tired from your journey, you're always welcome to come back to my place; my door is always open.

"Yes, I will."

Before leaving, Qian Renxue lingered around Su Bei for a while, pulling Su Bei aside and asking him something.

To Su Bei's astonishment, Qian Renxue took something from the cabinet.

Lin Feng was a little puzzled as to why Qian Renxue was laughing so happily, but he didn't ask any further questions.

After saying goodbye to the dean whom he hadn't seen in a long time, Lin Feng decided to go and visit Dugu Bo again.

It seems like it was a few months ago that he last asked me to visit him.

I couldn't tell him where I was stationed, so I left him hanging for a long time, like a pigeon that had been stood up for ages.

Stepping into Dugu Bo's mansion.

The old poisoner continued his daily playful antics with Dugu Yan, chasing her around.

They stopped when they saw Lin Feng and his two companions arrive.

"I've met the young master."

Qian Renxue responded calmly, "Mm."

When Dugu Bo looked at Lin Feng, he raised an eyebrow, his face showing some displeasure, and said irritably:

"You've really gotten impressive lately. Are you too busy researching martial soul theories, or have you simply forgotten about me somewhere in your mind?"

Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly; in fact, it seemed they had really forgotten about him.

Seeing Lin Feng's unspoken expression, Dugu Bo clicked his tongue.

"Never mind, it's not a big deal."

The group took their seats in the reception hall, with Dugu Yan lying down next to Qian Renxue.

The two chatted and laughed.

Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled, and her mouth opened and closed occasionally, revealing a look of shock.

Dugu Bo glanced at Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan getting along harmoniously and felt relieved.

"Xiao Feng, I've also practiced your three paths, and they're incredibly effective."

After that, are there any other paths?

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's still under research."

Lin Feng's eyes shifted:

"Speaking of which, Grandpa Dugu, a year has already passed since our three-year agreement. Have you decided where you want to go next?"

Ah this

Where to go? I'm living so comfortably now, and as a guest advisor, I even know the other two paths in advance.

Such a good thing, I must be out of my mind to run away.

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Lin Feng:

"You're really cunning, kid. Let me be frank, Yan Yan will stay here to attend the junior academy."

As for myself, I would also ask the Grand Master for a specific position.

"Consider me officially incorporated into the Spirit Hall, so I can contribute to its cause. What do you say?"

Qian Renxue stopped teasing Dugu Yan and looked at her approvingly:

"Old Master Dugu is quite sensible. On behalf of the Spirit Hall, I welcome your formal joining."

Dugu Bo waved his hand:

"Young Master, there's no need for that. Such words are too formal. I don't have so many rules here."

Just speak casually.

Qian Renxue was taken aback, not expecting Dugu Bo to be such a carefree person.

"That's good, Grandpa Dugu. We'll be leaving the Spirit Hall soon, so we came here to give you some things."

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Feng produced a piece of translucent, white whale glue.

"This is whale glue, which can improve a Soul Master's physical attributes, thereby increasing the lifespan of their Soul Rings. This particular piece of whale glue can increase the lifespan of the first two Soul Rings by about 500 years."

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted. This was the second time, besides immortal herbs, that he had heard of something that could increase the age of a soul ring.

I reached out and took it, then glanced at it briefly:

"Is this also advance notice?"

Lin Feng smiled:

"That's natural."

Dugu Bo breathed a long sigh of relief:

"This is an open conspiracy of yours. With your current reputation as a theoretical master, I really don't know how many good things you're hiding."

The mere act of releasing the technique has already sparked such intense discussion outside.

If word got out about the effects of this whale glue, those nobles who used it in their bedroom arts would be kicking themselves.

Lin Feng lay comfortably in the chair:

"Well, there aren't many things hidden here, but there should still be some that can pique the interest of a Title Douluo."

Dugu Bo put away the whale glue and smiled slightly:

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

"Sister Xue, are you going on a long journey with Brother Feng? When will you be back?"

Yan Yan is getting a little bored here, spending all her time playing with Grandpa. And since we last met, Sister Xue hasn't come to play with me either.

Dugu Bo's smile faltered, and his heart clenched. Oh no, he was being rejected.

Qian Renxue pinched Dugu Yan's rosy cheek and smiled:

"It's time to go on a trip for a while."

Don't be too sad, Yan Yan. In another year, when your martial soul awakens, you can go to the Soul Master Academy.

There are lots of kids your age there.

"Soul Master Academy?"

Dugu Yan tilted her head:

"Are there people there who are just as capable and beautiful as Sister Xue and Brother Feng?"

Qian Renxue's lips curled slightly:

"Then they might not exist anymore. Your Sister Xue and Brother Feng are not ordinary Soul Masters."

However,” Qian Renxue gently rubbed Dugu Yan’s cheek, “Yan Yan can become the most powerful person in the Soul Master Academy.”

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up: "Yan Yan, is that alright?"
