Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 166 Qian Renxue's Doubts

Judging from the current results, Qian Renxue's cultivation method has not completely eliminated the side effects of his previous drug use, but at least it has brought him back on the right track.

As long as he continues to cultivate steadily and surely, the side effects will become smaller and smaller.

While Ye Shaoyang was absorbing the soul ring, Meng Hongchen began to deal with the corpse of the Earth Scale Armor. She first checked to see if any soul bones would be produced, but obviously no.

Then she began to carefully cut off the parts of the corpse that had not yet been contaminated by her poison, preparing them for tonight's dinner.

They had been traveling all day, and at noon they casually hunted and ate some wild game, but hadn't had dinner yet.

It was almost midnight, so while waiting for Ye Shaoyang to absorb the soul ring, they could process the prey. After roasting the meat, each member would get a share, and the rest would be kept as food for tomorrow.

After finishing their meal for the night, they planned to set up camp here for the time being and continue their journey when it got light the next day.

"Do you have any extra? Share some with me." Shen Yuanyi approached the team members who were preparing to start a fire to grill the meat.

"Teach... Sister Yuanyi!" Xiao Ping quickly stood up.

During this period of training, they naturally started calling them instructors. However, Shen Yuanyi didn't like the title and said, "I'm two years older than you, so you can teach Sister Yuanyi."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing. Sit down, sit down." Shen Yuanyi gestured for him to sit down, then said in a low voice, "It's nothing, we just wanted to try your spoils. Sister Xue and Miss probably wouldn't be able to bring themselves to do it."

"Don't talk nonsense." Qian Renxue and Xue Di walked over.

They quickly finished preparing the ingredients and started grilling them while waiting for Ye Shaoyang to absorb the soul ring.

"Instructor, are you really abandoning us for this operation?" Shi Xing said, taking a bite of his grilled meat.

"What do you think?" Qian Renxue smiled.

Shi Xing exchanged glances with the others, then shrugged: "I was just saying, what if, what if this operation fails, brothers?"

Qian Renxue and Xue Di exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "Then I will apply to Hall Master Jing Hongchen, and we will withdraw from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy together. After we leave, we will find an academy and start a new team."

"Anyway, there are still three months until the competition, so training a team in this period shouldn't be a big problem."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the team stopped and seemed to suddenly lose the aroma of the freshly grilled meat in their hands.

Everything they have now, except for the necessary soul guidance facilities provided by Jing Hongchen, is basically all planned by Qian Renxue alone. Even Shen Yuanyi and Xue Di can only be considered as executors of Qian Renxue's plan.

If she really leaves us, can we really continue to become stronger?

"What, scared?" Qian Renxue took a bite of the roasted meat.

She swallowed the meat in her mouth, and had to admit that the taste of the meat grilled by this group was not even half as good as Shen Yuanyi's.

"After these months of training, you are all excellent team members. To put it bluntly, your senior teammates at your age could never have achieved what you have." Qian Renxue's eyes swept over each of them.

"Perhaps we put too much pressure on you at times," Qian Renxue tilted her head. "But even if you're not satisfied with yourselves, you have to believe in me and Yuan Yi, the soul guidance devices that the Hall Master worked overtime to develop, and Elder Ma's efforts over the years." Everyone nodded in agreement. Qian Renxue was right; their current success was inseparable from the efforts of Qian Renxue, the other two, Jing Hongchen, and Elder Ma.

Ma Lao's original focus was on the main team, but for the reserve team, he was also working overtime to study tactics and select opponents for the seven-man team battle.

"I have faith in each and every one of you," Qian Renxue said, her eyes shining. "Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"After you finish eating, get ready to rest. You can arrange your own night watch duties," Xue Di said softly.

Old Ma didn't come along this time, but he had been watching Qian Renxue's actions all along.

Although this girl was said to be only about eleven or twelve years old, everything she did was like that of a very experienced person. She not only demonstrated her confidence, but also absolutely refused to take all the credit for herself.

She was the mastermind behind this training, and everyone knew that perfectly well. Jing Hongchen and those two old fogies did provide a lot of support, but all of this was based on her plan.

If she really leaves the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, then it will be a loss for them. If she leaves the Sun Moon Empire—then they'll probably have to issue an arrest warrant.

Of course, he knew this was impossible, because Qian Renxue's true identity came from the State Religion. He didn't know the specifics of the State Religion, but he did know that the important figures of the State Religion were not afraid when facing the Sun and Moon Emperor.

For someone of Qian Renxue's age to have achieved so much, she might just be the successor to the next leader of the state religion.

Moreover, he had also heard about what happened in Jingyang City. In other words, after this period of fermentation, almost all the forces on the continent knew about this place.

Qian Renxue is also the young master of the Spirit Hall. In comparison, the people of Mingde Hall are more willing to invest in Qian Renxue's second identity.

Qian Renxue opened the intelligence report again. This intelligence came from the Sun Moon Empire's military and was unlikely to be inaccurate.

However, what puzzled her was that the Heavenly Soul Empire had always been relatively conservative and had always maintained a defensive but not aggressive attitude towards the Sun Moon Empire, and basically would not take the initiative to provoke trouble.

She heard that Ye Xishui had wiped out the Heavenly Soul branch of the Shrek Academy's inspection team, and even then, the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family didn't make much of a statement.

Why would the people from the Heavenly Soul Empire suddenly come to the Sun Moon Empire this time? It's not uncommon for small groups to infiltrate the Sun Moon Empire. If she hadn't encountered the Holy Spirit Cult back then, she could be considered to have sneaked in.

However, according to intelligence, this time the team is led by a Soul King who graduated from Shrek Academy's outer court, which makes the situation different.

A Soul King leading a dozen or so Great Soul Masters can be considered as having the destructive power of five hundred people, not to mention that this time there are also Soul Sect and Soul Venerables involved.

If we let them in and leave them unattended for a long time, they might actually figure out the border defenses completely.

"However, the Sun Moon Empire's defensive focus has always been on the Mingdou Mountains in the south." Qian Renxue stood under a large tree and began to think carefully.

"Could it be that their real goal is not simply to establish defenses along the border of the Sun Moon Empire?" A suspicion arose in her mind.
