Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 42 Leaving Seagod Island, the Promise with Ye Xinglan

"Hey, Na'er has already added you, why don't you add me too?" Qian Mo took out his soul communication device and looked at Yun Ming.

Yun Ming turned his head away and rejected Qian Mo's request without hesitation, "My soul communication number is not something anyone can take!"

Qian Mo's eye twitched, and she said with a "fierce" look, "Fine, fine, I don't want to add you anyway! I'll add Sister Ya Li instead!"

After saying that, Qianmo ran up to Yali eagerly and asked, "Sister Yali, could you give me a soul communication number?"

At this moment, Qian Mo looked obedient and had a bright smile. Coupled with his exceptionally handsome face and the approachable aura of holiness around him, anyone who saw him would want to hug him and cherish him.

"Okay!" Yali smiled and gave her soul communication number.

Yun Ming said helplessly from the side, "Ya Li, you're good in every way, but you're just too kind to some people."

After exchanging soul communication codes, Qianmo and Guyuena bid farewell to Yunming and Yali and left Seagod Island.

On the small boat, Qianmo stood at the bow, beaming as he said to Gu Yuena, "Am I right? You have a great talent for spear fighting, Na'er. That old guy Yunming will definitely teach you a few moves."

Gu Yuena smiled but didn't say anything. She simply sat cross-legged on the boat, her jade hand supporting her chin, her beautiful eyes full of smiles as she looked at Qian Mo in front of her.

The small boat stopped on the shore of Poseidon Lake. After the two disembarked, they walked back to their attic along the tree-lined path and found a man and a woman loitering in front of their house.

"Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan!" Qian Mo exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing the two, "What are you two doing here?"

"Brother Qianmo," Xu Lizhi waved vigorously at Qianmo.

Ye Xinglan turned her head and saw Qian Mo. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked forward, raising her head high, and said, "Qian Mo, do you still remember our promise during the inner court assessment?"

"Oh, of course I remember," Qianmo said wearily. "Let's set a time tomorrow, okay? I've been busy all day and I'm really tired. I can't play anymore."

Ye Xinglan nodded, "Okay, let's add each other on the soul communication line and contact each other tomorrow."

"good!"

After exchanging soul guidance communication codes with Ye Xinglan, Qian Mo looked at Xu Lizhi and said with a smile, "Congratulations on entering the inner courtyard."

Xu Lizhi chuckled sheepishly, "It was just luck. If it weren't for Sister Xinglan's help, I wouldn't have passed the inner court assessment."

"There are not so many lucky breaks in the world; many things are actually inevitable," Qianmo said.

Xu Lizhi nodded as if he understood, but Ye Xinglan didn't say much. She said "See you tomorrow" and then pulled Xu Lizhi away.

Qianmo turned to look at Gu Yuena and said gently, "Get some rest, see you tomorrow!"

"Okay, goodnight!"

"Good night!"

……

Early the next morning, in the individual training ground of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, Qian Mo and Ye Xinglan stood facing each other, while Gu Yuena and Xu Lizhi sat below watching.

"I hope you can unleash your full power in this battle!" Ye Xinglan raised his right hand, and two soul rings shone brightly beneath his feet—two hundred-year soul rings.

A long sword appeared in Ye Xinglan's hand. The sword was bright yellow, and countless stars seemed to shimmer on its blade. Its dazzling light was particularly eye-catching even in the daytime.

Star God Sword, a top-tier sword-type martial spirit!

Qian Mo yawned lazily and said languidly, "You're not worthy to make me use my full strength!"

Qian Mo's words were quite sharp and merciless; he never showed any mercy when faced with challenges from others.

"Hmph," Ye Xinglan's eyes flashed with anger. She gripped the sword with both hands, and it was as if she had disappeared. Her aura had completely merged with the sword.

Qian Mo raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. He had only just begun to master the unity of body and sword, and was still far behind Qian Mo.

Ye Xinglan dashed forward a few steps to Qian Mo, her longsword flashing as she slashed directly at his ribs. The movement was fluid and graceful, the blade cutting towards Qian Mo with incredible speed.

"Interesting!" Qian Mo thought to himself, and instantly pulled out a Seven Kill Sword from the void with his right hand, steadily blocking the Star God Sword.

With a crisp "ding," Ye Xinglan felt a powerful force surge through her, causing her delicate body to spin around once. After releasing the force, she took a step to the right, and the first soul ring on her body flashed.

Ye Xinglan glanced at the black and white mask on Qian Mo's face, and thrust out a sword at a tricky angle. At the same time, a burst of starlight shot out from the sword and rushed straight towards Qian Mo.

First Soul Skill: Sword God Star.

Qian Mo neither dodged nor evaded; after casually flicking his sword, he unleashed a powerful and heavy strike.

The Seven Kill Sword, imbued with a dense killing intent, brutally crushed the starlight, yet its momentum remained undiminished, firmly locking onto Ye Xinglan's aura as it descended upon him.

A look of shock flashed in Ye Xinglan's eyes. The second soul ring beneath her feet shone brightly, and a protective shield filled with starlight enveloped her.

The latest novel is first published here!

Second Soul Skill: Sword God's Net.

At the same time, she let out a delicate shout, and the starlight shield around her body rushed into the Star God Sword like a vast ocean embracing all rivers, causing the Star God Sword to shine brightly.

Ye Xinglan thrust her sword straight forward. Starlight collided with the sword's aura, shattering upon contact. The sword's aura unleashed killing intent, penetrating Ye Xinglan's body as if being cut by blades.

A tremendous force came, and Ye Xinglan's delicate body trembled, almost losing control of her martial spirit.

"So strong," Ye Xinglan said, gritting her teeth as she looked at Qian Mo, who was still calm and collected despite having the upper hand. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, as if there were two stars in them.

Amidst swirling starlight, she took a step forward, her speed suddenly more than doubling. The Star God Sword in her hand seemed to transform into countless stars, enveloping Qian Mo.

The sword light swirled, like a shower of starlight, but in the blink of an eye, it was all knocked down by the Seven Kill Sword.

Ye Xinglan was fast, but Qian Mo was even faster. The Seven Kill Sword had already transformed into hundreds of sword shadows, completely blocking all of Ye Xinglan's movement paths.

"Bang!"

The Star God Sword flew high into the air, and a palm strike landed on Ye Xinglan's chest in a flash, blasting her back. She fell to the ground with a thud, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the Seven Kill Sword that was steadily resting between her brows.

Qian Mo looked down at Ye Xinglan from his high vantage point, his eyes calm and unwavering, as if Ye Xinglan's attacks could not stir up even the slightest ripple in his eyes.

With his other hand raised, he steadily caught the Star God Sword falling from the sky.

Qian Mo sheathed the Seven Kill Sword and casually tossed the Star God Sword on the ground, as if it were trash.

"I hope your next challenge will be a little more enjoyable for me."

Seeing that the competition was over, Xu Lizhi quickly jumped onto the stage and helped Ye Xinglan up.

Ye Xinglan bit her lip, her beautiful eyes fixed on her, and stubbornly said, "I will challenge you again!"
