Douluo Continent: Infinite Clone, Starting with Taunting Gangzi

Tian Dou City.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe gently dismissed the guards who were waiting for him from the Crown Prince's Palace. After confirming that no one would come in to disturb him, Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe, breathed a sigh of relief and took out the envelope that her grandfather had sent her.

Upon opening the envelope, the letter began with words of comfort and daily advice to return to the Spirit Hall and not to act like some lousy prince out of spite.

Qian Renxue naturally wouldn't listen. Although she knew that her grandfather was concerned about her, when she heard that the woman had assigned her this task, she was determined to show that woman how capable she was... or rather, she was looking forward to her mother's approval.

Further on, Grandpa mentioned a name that was unfamiliar to Qian Renxue—Bai Ranmo. He was her grandfather's disciple, and in a sense, her uncle, or perhaps her junior brother.

"Grandpa actually took on an apprentice?" Qian Renxue was a little incredulous.

Even if Bai Ranmo had innate full soul power, the lowest soul power level of the Angel lineage inheritors was level eleven. Ordinary innate full soul power was not even worth mentioning to Grandpa.

What kind of extraordinary talent could make Grandpa take him as a disciple?

With these doubts in mind, Qian Renxue continued reading the letter. When she saw the limitless effect and Bai Ranmo's talent of being able to create two self-created soul skills so soon after awakening, she was instantly amazed.

After seeing the woman's apprentice get the short end of the stick, Qian Renxue even unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth.

That woman clearly loathed her, yet she doted on the woman with the Heavenly Fox Martial Soul. Qian Renxue had long felt resentful. She was happy to see Hu Liena suffer setbacks, and unconsciously developed a sense of closeness to Bai Ranmo.

Qian Renxue picked up a pen and paper and wrote a reply.

The letter simply stated that she was doing well in the Heaven Dou Empire, would not end the mission, and asked her grandfather to rest assured. In addition, she asked her junior brother to come to Heaven Dou City if there was an opportunity, as she wanted to observe him secretly.

Well, I'm older than Bai Ranmo, so of course he's my junior brother. How could I possibly call a little kid my senior uncle?

Qian Renxue stuffed the letter into the envelope and summoned Elder Serpent Spear to send the reply back.

She tidied up her official duties as the Crown Prince, then changed her clothes and headed towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

She is nominally Ning Fengzhi's disciple. Today, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is visiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they will also be visiting the Heaven Dou Royal Family later. Xue Qinghe naturally has to be there.

The carriage traveled very fast, and in about an hour it arrived at the gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi and the two Sword and Bone Douluos came to greet them.

"Qinghe".

"teacher."

Xue Qinghe exchanged a few polite words with Ning Fengzhi, then had some gifts delivered to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School before waiting for the arrival of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family beside Ning Fengzhi.

"I heard that Senior Sword Douluo has taken in a disciple with a sword spirit and full innate soul power," Xue Qinghe mentioned.

Sword Douluo stood ramrod straight, just about to "accidentally" reveal the "unproductive" behavior of his troublesome disciple, when he was stopped by Bone Douluo's words:

"Taibai is indeed extremely talented, but following this old swordsman, he'll probably end up with a poker face."

"Old bones, what did you say? Today is the day to welcome guests, I don't want to fight you!"

"Hmph, you think you're so great just because you broke through to level 96 a few days ago? You still can't break through my defense!"

"Hmph~" Sword Douluo flicked his robe, "I'm too lazy to lower myself to the level of a crude and uncouth man like you."

He simply didn't want to go all out against Old Bones. Otherwise, his Seven Kill Sword, primarily focused on offense, possessed attack power even surpassing the Clear Sky Hammer and was a level higher than Bone Douluo's. How could he possibly fail to break through Old Bones' defenses if he went all out?

Bone Douluo was aware of this, but that didn't stop them from arguing about it.

Chapter 24 Azure Lotus Sword Technique

Sword Douluo is already level 96...?

Qian Renxue noted down the information, although Sword Douluo clearly didn't intend to hide it.

Before long, a large and impressive procession headed toward the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The leader was dressed in a magnificent dragon-patterned robe. He was as tall and strong as a dragon, and although his temples were gray, he was still full of energy.

This person is none other than Yu Yuanzhen, the Thunder Douluo, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Gangzi's most stern father in the literal sense!

"Sect Leader Ning, it's been so long!"

"Your Majesty Thunder, it's been a long time! You're still in such good health!"

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the group entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Sword and Bone Douluo exchanged a knowing glance and then began to banter. Bone Douluo seemingly unintentionally revealed that Sword Douluo had already broken through to level 96.

Yu Yuanzhen showed no change in expression, and instead congratulated Sword Douluo with a cupped-fist salute, but he was still somewhat disappointed inside.

If they were at the same level, he would still have the leisure to test Sword Bone Douluo, but if Sword Douluo had already reached level 96, then he would have no intention of testing him.

After composing himself, Yu Yuanzhen proudly pointed to the two somewhat immature young men following behind him: "Let me introduce you to Sect Leader Ning. These are the Blue Lightning Twin Stars of my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Tianheng and Tianxin."

"Greetings, Sect Leader Ning." Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin respectfully cupped their hands.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded, sighing, "Tianheng and Tianxin look only twelve or thirteen years old, yet they are already close to Soul Masters. They will surely become the Blue Lightning Twin Douluo in the future!"

"Haha, Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me." Although Yu Yuanzhen said this modestly, he puffed out his chest with immense pride.

Sword Douluo was practically rolling his eyes to the heavens, but thinking of his disciple, a confident smile unconsciously crept onto his face as he said in a helpless tone:

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is truly full of talented people. Sigh, unlike my troublesome disciple, who only awakened his innate full soul power a month ago and started researching his self-created sword technique. It's only in its infancy now, and his soul power level is only 14. Sigh, he can't compare to your family's children!"

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

Yu Yuanzhen's smile froze. Chen Xin, you old man, shouldn't you take off your smile before you say that?

"I'm getting old and don't have any other hobbies, but I enjoy watching these energetic young people. Would you have the honor of meeting that genius with innate full soul power?" Yu Yuanzhen asked with a smile, his intention to test the waters.

Since they couldn't compare to Sword Bone Douluo, perhaps their own Tianheng and Tianxin were better than the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Although their innate soul power was only level eight, talent only determined the lower limit, and the specific upper limit depended on their own efforts.

"Of course, no problem!" Ning Fengzhi smiled and called out, "Rongrong, do you know where your Taibai brother is?"

Ning Rongrong, who had been playing with the flowers and plants by the door and showing little interest in greeting guests, finally came over. After greeting the elders with a smile, she put on an angry expression.

"Hmph, I don't care about that guy who only knows how to practice swordsmanship, he won't play with me!"

"You're still so childish. Don't you want your brother Taibai to write you a poem?" Ning Fengzhi smiled, rubbing his daughter's head as he offered her a tempting offer.

诗！

Ning Rongrong opened her eyes and blinked expectantly, "I'll take you, Dad, to find Brother Taibai. Can you ask Brother Taibai to write me another poem? That way, I'll reluctantly forgive him!"

"Alright, alright." Ning Fengzhi smiled indulgently.

Ning Rongrong skipped and hopped, leading everyone to the back mountain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

……

……

Behind the mountain, rushing water cascades down, forming a waterfall shrouded in mist.

Beneath the waterfall, two people, one tall and one short, leaned against an ancient tree; one was dashing and unrestrained, the other calm and reserved.

"Taibai, is it really okay for you to be secretly drinking at such a young age?" Long Wushuang's lips twitched slightly as he watched Li Bai pouring wine from a gourd into his mouth.

"Drinking alcohol can clear the mind and speed up the circulation of soul power, so that I can master the Azure Lotus Sword Technique!" Li Bai said, shaking the wine gourd in his hand and swaying his head.

The Azure Lotus Sword appeared in his hand. "Brother Wushuang, come and try my swordsmanship!"

The sword's edge was like a dragon, aimed straight at his face!

"First Soul Skill, Bone Armor!"

Long Wushuang immediately reacted, and a thick layer of white bone armor appeared on his body.

The sword's edge pierced straight into the bone armor, its power concentrated at a single point, but it still lacked sufficient force.

The 10-year-old Long Wushuang had already reached level 22, and Li Bai's sword strike really couldn't hurt him.

"Taibai, your swordsmanship is indeed skillful, but the difference in our strength is obvious!"

"Haha...this is more challenging!" Li Bai picked up the wine gourd, took a swig of wine, and then tossed the gourd upwards. The gourd landed steadily on a tree branch.

Long Wushuang glanced at the gourd's location subconsciously, then immediately realized what it meant.

It's a trap!

"First Soul Skill, Drinking Alone Under the Moon!"

The sword's edge thrust straight at you.

Five meters away, where Li Bai had originally stood, a lingering shadow remained.

The Azure Lotus Sword failed to break through the bone armor's defenses, and Long Wushuang remained stunned in place.

Neither Li Bai nor Long Wushuang noticed that above the waterfall, Ning Rongrong was leading a large group of people to watch Li Bai's swordsmanship.

"Brother Taibai..." Ning Rongrong was about to call out when Ning Fengzhi stopped her.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly: "Rongrong, take a good look at your Taibai brother's swordsmanship!"

"Oh~" Ning Rongrong was also curious about Li Bai's swordsmanship.

He never plays with me, he just practices this sword technique every day. What has he actually mastered?

"This first soul skill is incredibly powerful; it can ignore defense and forcefully stun you?" Yu Yuanzhen said with slight surprise.

"Well, unless your soul power is more than three times that of Taibai, no defense will be effective," Sword Douluo said casually.

"Pretending." Bone Douluo rolled his eyes and said stubbornly, "It's only because Wushuang deliberately suppressed his soul power that this move might not have worked."
