Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 67 The Holy Dragon of Light and Darkness

The Sun Moon Empire did not believe in gods because there were no gods during the Sun Moon Continent era. In fact, among all the continents in the Douluo Realm, only the original Douluo Continent ever had gods.

Now, just as the court attendant who was observing in the shadows said, the deity of the Sun and Moon Empire seems to have descended to earth.

"What... kind of sword intent is this?" Ji Juechen asked awkwardly.

He could feel that although he was superior to his opponent in terms of cultivation, he was being suppressed by this terrifying will, and could not muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

Even if the opponent is using just an ordinary soul-guided longsword!

"Angelic Sword Intent." Qian Renxue chuckled lightly, then sheathed her longsword. "Still want to fight?"

Ji Juechen nodded firmly: "Fight! But not now, thank you."

He still had that taciturn demeanor, but the boundless fighting spirit in his eyes was undeniable.

"Okay, you're welcome anytime." Qian Renxue reached out, reached over his hand, grabbed his arm, and pulled him up.

The referee, who had been pondering whether to forcibly interrupt the sparring match, was now expressionless, because he had no idea what expression to wear in the face of this battle.

"I lost," Ji Juechen said to the referee, snapping himself out of his thoughts.

"Congratulations... Congratulations, Young Master Angel, on your... victory in the challenge..." he stammered.

The previously silent meeting room suddenly erupted in a huge shout.

"Angels! Angels! Angels!"

Who wouldn't want to see such a sparring match where the opponent overcomes a huge gap in cultivation level?

Who wouldn't want to see that the sun worshipped by their Sun Moon Empire seems to have a real god representing it!

Even those who had previously mocked Qian Renxue at the registration desk had to bow their heads to the figure on the field and sincerely express their admiration!

"I say, did we just do something stupid?" someone suddenly remembered what they had done.

"Then...aren't we being disrespectful to the gods?" another person shrank back.

"Didn't she say she hated your laughter... saying it sounded like an ignorant people's revelry or something?" The staff member who had received Qian Renxue's gold soul coins said worriedly. He was actually quite familiar with these contestants; they were all acquaintances, and he was worried that something might happen to them.

"You're all to reflect on your actions for three days." Shen Yuanyi walked in, not even glancing at them, and went straight to the staff, clapped her hands, and then held out her hand.

"...?" The staff member was on the verge of tears. "Miss, I didn't disrespect the sun!"

Shen Yuanyi was stunned for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table.

"You bastard! You haven't disrespected the sun, so why aren't you paying me? Even gods need to eat! Give me the winnings!"

-

About half an hour later, Long Xiaoyao left the venue with the two girls.

Shen Yuanyi happily handed two gold soul coin storage cards to Qian Renxue: "Miss, this is what we won!"

Because few people were optimistic about Qian Renxue when the betting opened, very few people placed bets on her. In addition, because she and Ji Juechen delayed for a while before starting their sparring match, more people placed bets on Ji Juechen.

Qian Renxue took the memory cards; each one contained 100,000 gold soul coins, and her odds seemed to be 1 to 10.

"Finally, I have some money." Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel happy. She was also helpless. This situation would never have happened in her previous life. When had the young master ever worried about money? In the past, 100,000 gold soul coins would have been her hard-earned reward for sending the Porcupine Serpent Spear on a mission.

"Are you short of money?" Long Xiaoyao asked curiously.

"Who doesn't want more money?" Qian Renxue said casually.

Long Xiaoyao said sternly, "You are the Holy Maiden of our sect, how can you let something like money disturb your resolve!"

Qian Renxue sat up straight in the back seat of the car. Could this be the mindset of a peerless master of this era? Absolutely unmoved by such external things!

Long Xiaoyao casually tossed her a platinum memory card: "Here are ten million gold soul coins, consider it your allowance for the year."

"...?" Qian Renxue took the memory card, then looked at the two silver cards in her hand and began to consider whether she should ask for more.

"The Holy Spirit Church is really generous," she couldn't help but think to herself, marveling at how much they were giving.

"Golden Soul Coins can indeed buy many things, but there are some more important things that they can't buy," Long Xiaoyao said calmly. "Everything in the world can be priced—soul tools, secret treasures, soul bones, human lives, even souls. But who can bid against a god?"

"You also know the story of the gods?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I know a little bit about him. I have an old friend who is currently the representative of the gods in the world, but I wouldn't say I like him," Long Xiaoyao said.

"A spokesperson? Something like a deity being worshipped or sacrificed to?" Qian Renxue thought of her grandfather.

"Calling him a loyal dog would be more appropriate. He's the head of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, and also the guy who's always clamoring to wipe us all out," Long Xiaoyao said. "That's why I don't like him."

"Then why do you still call him an old friend?" Qian Renxue could also guess that the only god worshipped on the continent was the Sea God, and the stronghold of the Sea God's followers must be Shrek Academy.

"After all, we were both chosen ones of the same era, and I once trained with him on the continent. His martial soul is called the Holy Dragon of Light, and mine is the Holy Dragon of Darkness. It can be considered a kind of fate."

Long Xiaoyao told Qian Renxue some of his past stories, but he didn't mention Ye Xishui. He didn't know if Ye Xishui had told Qian Renxue about these past events. If she said something she shouldn't have and offended the Supreme Leader, she might hang him up and beat him.

Qian Renxue listened to the story without offering her own opinion, simply listening quietly.

"If you meet him again in the future, how will you feel?" Qian Renxue asked.

"..." Long Xiaoyao paused for a moment, "I am the chief elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, and he and I are destined to be on different paths. But we made an agreement that we would only take action against each other when it came to a life-or-death situation."

It sounds just like the agreement between Grandpa and Tang Chen, Qian Renxue thought to herself.

She couldn't really understand this so-called agreement, but she also felt that she shouldn't be bound by such a pointless agreement. However, this wasn't her concern; let those Shrek bastards worry about it. Anyway, the Holy Spirit Cult had more than just Long Xiaoyao as a Limit Douluo; if he didn't take action, there was still Ye Xishui.

Her future teacher didn't seem like the type to keep his promise; it wasn't like she and Shrek had made a pact. Although she hadn't explicitly stated her hatred for Shrek, her words implied a desire to skin these bastards alive and then use them for research.

Actually, the last conversation wasn't finished. What exactly did Ye Xishui mean by using Shrek Academy students to conduct experiments to study the secrets of spirit rings?

She had a rough idea in her mind, but she couldn't be sure. She could only wait until Elder Ye returned and ask him.
