Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 197 A single punch can ward off a hundred more.

The whip wrapped around Yan Shaozhe's body. He had a strange feeling... a feeling that the whip was poisonous and could devour him!

This thing is draining his soul power!

Fortunately, the absorption ended quickly. He glared at Feng Ling resentfully: "I never expected you to ultimately choose this path!"

"Otherwise what? Wait for your fellow disciples to hunt me down?" Feng Ling said calmly. "But you don't actually think your academy can stand up to the Holy Spirit Cult now, do you?"

"My Shrek Academy has over ten Super Douluo! How could you possibly understand that? How many people does your Holy Spirit Cult have? I heard you're the Vice Leader now. Let me tell you, your position as Vice Leader is just mid-level combat power in our territory!"

"You're just bragging. More than ten Super Douluo? Do you think the level 95 Heavenly Tribulation is a stinking ditch?" Feng Ling said disdainfully. "I could say that the Holy Spirit Cult has the protection of ferocious beasts. They could slap down the walls of Shrek City with one blow."

"Besides me and Mei'er, there's also Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er. Although they can't beat me, there's also Old Song..." Yan Shaozhe paused for a moment, but he quickly realized that this guy was trying to trick him into revealing information!

"You! Ling'er, you!" Yan Shaozhe stammered.

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you a little. Don't be too angry. We're all family from now on," Feng Ling said with a smile. "Now that you're home, Shrek Academy should know about it soon, right? We'll be here waiting for your people to arrive one by one."

"Until then, you can rest here." Feng Ling put away her whip and turned to leave.

"Oh, by the way, the medicine I gave you really can heal your injuries. It's a soup personally brewed for you by His Majesty, containing the power of the Radiant Phoenix passed down through your lineage..." Feng Ling turned her head slightly, a hint of red light flashing in her eyes. "Remember, it was His Majesty who personally protected you; otherwise, what you thought was poison would have been too mild."

"..." Yan Shaozhe fell silent.

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to think about himself first. He is currently at the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, a place that Shrek Academy has investigated for a long time without finding anything, even when Moon investigated it himself.

In other words, he can't escape the Holy Spirit Cult now unless Shrek Academy launches a war to conquer the Sun Moon Empire. But would Shrek Academy wage war for him, the dean of the Martial Soul Department?

Or, you could feign surrender first, save your own life, and then make further plans.

……

Feng Ling left Yan Shaozhe's room and went to another room.

Upon entering the room, she casually wiped her hand, transforming herself back into her original appearance; the little devil Qian Renxue appeared.

It turns out that the person who was just talking to Yan Shaozhe was not Feng Ling herself, but the little devil who was controlling her body!

"Why is my nephew so stubborn?" the little devil said to Ye Xishui with a worried look.

Ye Xishui shrugged and then turned off the soul-guided screen: "I guess he's too deeply poisoned. But what surprises me is that he didn't even notice the surveillance cameras in that room."

The little devil glanced at the screen in front of Ye Xishui: "Maybe they don't have much of a concept of this kind of monitoring device. Besides, this is a monitoring soul tool that you personally improved. It's at the ninth level. It's normal that they can't detect it."

"I've written down everything I got out of my good grandson, except for the part about Qian Duoduo that he mentioned later, which we don't seem to have recorded." Ye Xishui patted her head. "But aren't you afraid he'll find out if you whip him a couple of times?"

"Are you worried about him?" The little devil raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, that whip was simulated by me using spider silk; it's incredibly realistic. Plus, his body is still severely injured, so there won't be any flaws."

"Feng Ling has been locked up by me." Ye Xishui stood up. "According to the information from the God of Destruction, the Sea God doesn't seem to be coming out of seclusion for a while. Even if we cause a huge upheaval on the continent, he probably won't even know."

The little devil stroked his chin: "I feel that Yan Shaozhe will think about his situation in the next few days, and then he might pretend to surrender first. Teacher, please don't be angry, this is just my guess."

Ye Xishui shook her head with a wry smile: "There's nothing to be angry about. If it weren't for your innate ability to disguise and act, it would probably take a long time to get him to do something."

"Oh, what you're saying. If he misbehaves, just scare him a little, let him know that family ties are much more important than the grand principles he thinks he has," Qian Renxue said. "But later on, I feel you still need to find an opportunity to talk to him. I can't show up too often." Ye Xishui nodded. Although Qian Renxue's disguise skill was good, and she could easily impersonate a Super Douluo, and her expression and demeanor were also fine, there would always be loopholes in her cultivation.

"Any news from Shrek Academy?" Qian Renxue asked.

"They haven't made any moves yet. It's normal for a Super Douluo to travel around for a month or two. But they shouldn't be able to hide it from the Golden Tree you mentioned. We might hear news soon."

"Hopefully it will be a little later." The little devil rubbed his head. "The little angel's Spirit Hall has just been established. In less than two months, she first fought against the Sea Douluo, and then sent disciples to support the battlefield. This is all the resources she has right now. Her power needs to be honed, but it can't be wasted like this."

Ye Xishui smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Spirit Hall is the result of our collective efforts. We won't let it be attacked again and again. I have an idea."

"You said?"

"Remember Cold Pine Cliff? I plan to start the excavation project there ahead of schedule," Ye Xishui said. "This matter will be carried out by the royal family, the Holy Spirit Cult, and the Spirit Hall in cooperation."

The little devil's eyes lit up: "You mean you want to directly wage war against the Sea God family over there first, and then keep the enemy outside the country's borders?"

That's definitely a good idea. It's too frustrating to always stay at home waiting for people to come to you. Since that's the case, why not just throw a punch to avoid getting punched a hundred times over?

"Good, good, good!" The little devil clapped his hands. "I've been craving all those goodies in their soul tools for ages! A whole bunch of portable gold mines, hurry up and get them into my bowl!"

"What is your current cultivation level?" Ye Xishui suddenly asked.

"Thirty-nine advanced levels," the little devil said. "I must say, with the blessing of angelic affinity and some faith, her cultivation speed is much faster than before. I'm just the type who gets by on the leftovers."

Ye Xishui pondered for a moment: "If you were to equip your second martial soul with a ring now, how much pressure could you handle?"

The little devil hesitated for a moment: "A conservative estimate is 60,000 years, but we can consider trying for 70,000 years."

Qian Renxue's Angelic Martial Soul currently has three spirit rings that are all close to 30,000 years old. With the enhancements in her physical attributes and other aspects, it is no problem for her second spirit soul to withstand the first spirit ring that is 60,000 years old.

Ye Xishui nodded: "It's like this, Yuan Yi is currently in seclusion and will probably reach level 50 soon. I'm thinking of taking her to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her fifth spirit ring. Why don't you come along too? If you find a suitable spirit ring, we'll consider it?"

The little devil scratched his head: "Actually, I was discussing with her whether to give my martial soul a full red soul ring or something."

Ye Xishui hesitated for a moment: "If you want a full set of red rings, I feel your body might not be able to handle it. Take myself as an example, I now possess divine sense, but my divine body has only just reached the threshold. To have a full set of red rings for my second martial soul, I still need to continue strengthening my body. Therefore, I was thinking of using the Spirit Ascension Technique to further increase the age of your soul rings in the future."

Next phase preview: Excavating Cold Pine Cliff and heading to Star Dou Great Forest, where we'll have our first encounter with the Imperial Beast!

The plan is to stop calling the auspicious beast Wang Qiu'er and simply call her Qiu'er, instead of giving her the surname Wang. As for Gu Yue Na, the plan is to use Silver Dragon King for now, and then continue using the name Gu Yue Na after she enters the human world.

I can say this in advance: Qiu'er will no longer be offering sacrifices.
