Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 60: Useless Knowledge Increased

The little angel gave a helpless, bitter smile; she herself hadn't expected to sleep for so long.

"Huh?" She looked at her right hand in surprise.

"Stop looking! Because of my awakening, we've already broken through to level 30. You should have sensed it before, right?"

The little angel closed his eyes and felt the flow of his soul power.

A strange thing happened. Originally, her soul power was golden-red, but now, due to the little devil's awakening, her soul power underwent a very special change. A black and white striped soul power sprouted from her original soul power, with attributes completely different from the angel's soul power. That soul power contained poison and various negative energies.

The angelic soul power and the spider king soul power intertwined and coiled together, existing like a pretzel within his meridians. When he used the angelic martial soul, his soul power would completely transform into angelic soul power before being released. Conversely, when the little devil used the spider king martial soul, his soul power would take on a different form.

Their cultivation levels are interconnected, because they are essentially twins, inseparable.

Only when the consciousness of two Xue'er coexists in one body can Qian Renxue be called Qian Renxue. Before the Little Devil awakens, she can only be called Little Angel or Little Golden Retriever.

This situation leads to another consequence: Qian Renxue's soul power becomes even more solid, and the total amount of soul power within her body exceeds the limit again. However, this also makes their cultivation slower, giving the feeling of "making one person do two jobs."

If the cultivation she lost in her previous life, which she forcibly improved through the divine test, resulted in soul power that was like thin porridge, then the soul power surging within her body now was like thick, sticky congee.

About fifteen minutes later, she opened her eyes again.

"Do you want to come out and have some fun?" the little angel asked.

"It's rare for you to open up to me, but never mind." The little devil pouted. "I don't like dealing with these people. It's more reliable to leave this kind of thing to you. I'm studying this gray bead, and I guess it'll take a while."

"Speaking of which, that old hag named Ye Xishui seems to want to take us as her disciples. Don't you want to consider it?" the little devil asked.

"What are your thoughts?" the little angel asked.

"I don't care about anything, but there's something you should have noticed. She's the leader of the Evil Soul Masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, yet she possesses a soul power that's almost at the pinnacle of light," the little devil said.

"You mean, the genius with twin martial souls from the Holy Spirit Cult that she mentioned is actually herself?"

"That's possible. In that case, don't you think she's a lot like us? Although she probably doesn't have something like me inside her," the little devil said.

Indeed, she is probably the only one in the entire continent with a dual personality.

"I'll think about it," Qian Renxue said after a moment's thought.

Knock knock—a knock came at the door.

"Miss, are you awake? I've made breakfast." Shen Yuanyi's voice came from inside.

-

Qian Renxue sat listlessly in the room, sipping her tea.

She was reading a book. This book contained historical descriptions completely different from those she had ever seen before.

For example, the truth, or rather the inside story, of the split of the Heaven Dou Empire was actually carried out by the five great kingdoms under the guise of the Spirit Hall. She was quite moved when she saw this; at least these kingdoms hadn't forgotten the favors they had received from the Spirit Hall.

Although the Heavenly Soul Empire ultimately remained silent on the matter, it's understandable. After all, they also needed to survive, and the current Heavenly Soul Empire had the Body Sect, which wasn't exactly friendly with Shrek Academy, as its backing.

It is said that the current sect leader of the Body Sect is the younger brother of the previous one, while the older brother was seriously injured in a battle with the current dean of Shrek Academy, or rather, that damned Sea God Pavilion master, and eventually died with resentment.

"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Shen Yuanyi was cleaning the room. With her there, there was no need for the hotel staff anymore.

This little fox truly lives up to her reputation as Ye Xishui's personal maid; she handles household chores with remarkable efficiency, just as cleanly and efficiently as she does when killing on the battlefield.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect that two of the four empires today would have connections with the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago." Qian Renxue shook her head. Yes, there was another empire that was also related to the Spirit Hall, and that was the Star Luo Empire. The current royal family of the Star Luo Empire was the Star Crown Family, which she had already learned before.

The Star Crown Clan, in a sense, was one of the six founding families of the predecessor sect of the Spirit Hall. After the Spirit Hall was destroyed, they went into seclusion in the deep mountains. Later, in the great war four thousand years ago, in order to win the battle, the Dai family of the White Tiger lineage offered the throne as a price to invite this family to come out of seclusion.

However, she never expected that Xu Jiawei, the current patriarch of the Star Crown Family and the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, was an absolute Shrek Academy sycophant.

"Do you have a good impression of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago?" Shen Yuanyi asked.

"My martial soul is already a little angel, what do you think?" Qian Renxue retorted.

"So, you're considered... a survivor of the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue thought about it and realized that there wasn't really a problem with that. When the group was discussing things, Ye Xishui had given the order that everything about Xiaoxue must be kept secret, especially about her twin martial souls.

When introducing herself, Qian Renxue chose to use the name Xue instead of the name she had made up earlier.

"Why didn't you agree to take your teacher as a disciple?" Shen Yuanyi asked.

Qian Renxue pouted: "It's not that I don't want to agree, it's that I haven't thought it through yet."

Ye Xishui then took Xue Di out, saying they were going to the north to see if they could find Bing Di. As they left, Xue Di watched Ye Xishui warily, afraid that she would take her to a deserted place and devour her alive.

"Oh...then you can think about this matter carefully." Shen Yuanyi nodded. "Your Majesty is very good to her disciple, and you are still the Holy Maiden."

Qian Renxue glanced at the little fox and thought to herself, "Aren't you jealous?"

Shen Yuanyi hadn't thought that far ahead. It was true that Ye Xishui had picked her up from a battlefield. At the time, she was in a city near the Mingdou Mountains. Later, a local war broke out, and she was knocked unconscious by the aftershocks of the battle between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

What's amusing is that the one who started this battle was Dai Hao, a general of the Star Luo Empire, not the Sun Moon Empire.

Meanwhile, Ye Xishui was also on the Mingdou Mountains, fiddling with her natal soul tool—the Death God Tower—absorbing the resentment from the battlefield. She noticed this battlefield, eventually finding the little fox and taking her away.

Then she stayed by Ye Xishui's side and cultivated, not for any other reason than to repay her kindness.

"Okay, I understand." Qian Renxue responded softly. "Speaking of which, do you know what Senior Ye was sucking on yesterday? It looked like she was breathing in clouds of smoke, like a deity. I don't think I ever saw it when I was in the eastern part of the continent."

Shen Yuanyi recalled for a moment: "You mean cigarettes? They are a specialty of the Sun Moon Empire. Before the collision of the two continents, they were only found on the Sun Moon Continent. Later, the Sun Moon Empire promoted them, and they were considered an economic source in the early days of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Therefore, in the Sun Moon Empire, there appeared a food-type martial soul similar to cigarettes. This was not present in the original Three Kingdoms. Later, the two continents merged into the Douluo Continent. The major empires interacted with each other, and this martial soul was passed on to the east."

"I see. So martial spirits can differ depending on the region." Qian Renxue nodded. "I've learned something useless."

This is a foreshadowing, so that when Qian Renxue encounters Xu He later, she can see a clue.

Additionally, regarding the war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, here is the original text that can serve as an annotation:

First of all, there is no large-scale war on the mainland now, because the original emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was from the Xu He lineage. However, the original emperor was unwilling to increase the research efforts on soul-guided weapons. In order to fight for so-called "peace", he was eventually replaced by the Xu Tianran lineage.

Secondly, Dai Hao started as a lowly soldier in the army and eventually rose to the position of legion commander through military merit. So, in peacetime, where did such military merit come from? The answer is that the so-called friction between empires was actually more caused by the Star Luo Empire.

Third, Xu He's father was usurped when Huo Yuhao was six years old, while Dai Hao killed Ju Zi's father twenty years earlier, when Huo Yuhao was twenty-five, meaning he was five years old. Xu He's father was replaced by Xu Tianran's father because he ignored the war and allowed the invasion to continue.

Finally, let me mention something that happened later: Xu He saw that Huo Yuhao had blown up the capital of his homeland, and he smiled with relief.
