Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 29 Xue Qinghe

Qian Renxue was extremely beautiful. Her original male image had been transformed into a woman. She looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with skin as white as snow, a straight nose, and slightly slender phoenix eyes. She possessed a stunningly beautiful face with a touch of majesty.

She wore a long, golden palace dress, a one-piece garment seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive embellishment, its style simple yet elegant. A golden stand-up collar protected her long, slender, white neck, and her long, golden hair was casually draped down her back, uncombed. This contrasted sharply with her impeccably tailored palace attire.

Because her father was the previous Pope Qian Xunji and her mother was the current Pope Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue can be said to have inherited her parents' genes very well.

Qian Renxue stared at herself in the mirror for a moment, then sighed, "I didn't realize I've grown so much."

She was only nine years old when Qian Xunji died, and Bibi Dong sent her to the Tian Dou Empire to complete the mission that Qian Xunji had been putting off—to infiltrate the Tian Dou Empire.

Because she had longed for maternal love since childhood, she accepted the task without hesitation when Bibi Dong told her about it.

After arriving in the Heavenly Dou Empire, she began to observe her targets and finally chose Xue Qinghe.

The eldest prince, Xue Luochuan, lacked talent in cultivation, but possessed great talent in politics.

The Third Prince, Xue Haicang, possessed exceptional talent for cultivation and, having no interest in court affairs, chose to join the army.

Xue Qinghe was unremarkable in every way, but he was kind to people. Moreover, Qian Renxue was not much older than Xue Qinghe, so she replaced Xue Qinghe.

She first pretended to be a refugee to approach Xue Qinghe, and then observed Xue Qinghe's living habits for the next six months. After she had thoroughly figured out Xue Qinghe, she made her move against him at the Royal Hunting Grounds.

After being replaced by Xue Qinghe, she spent another two years dealing with the First Prince and the Third Prince.

Later, due to his good performance, and with only Xue Qinghe and the young Xue Beng remaining, Emperor Xue Ye made Xue Qinghe the crown prince.

After learning of the deaths of his eldest and third brothers, Xue Beng was afraid of being wiped out by Xue Qinghe, so he sought refuge with Prince Xue Xing. Prince Xue Xing ordered Xue Beng to act like a playboy, which Xue Beng did. Qian Renxue thought Xue Beng was terrified when she saw him acting like a playboy, but she felt that a playboy was not a threat and simply ignored him.

Qian Renxue is now seventeen years old, the most beautiful age, but she is living under someone else's identity.

"Sigh, I hope you can give me a surprise."

Then Qian Renxue transformed back into Xue Qinghe.

"Uncle She, prepare the carriage. We're going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

On Xiao Yi's side.

In the afternoon, all the members of the Royal Fighting Team returned to the training ground, and Qin Ming called Xiao Yi out to introduce the team members.

"Xiao Yi, let me introduce you. From now on, you two will be teammates."

"This is Yu Tianheng, his martial soul is Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, he is a power-attack type soul master, currently at level 33."

In Douluo Continent, the growth rate is relatively fast; people reach adulthood at the age of twelve.

Yu Tianheng looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was tall and slender, about 1.9 meters tall. His neat black short hair stood up like steel needles. He had long and strong hands. He was not handsome and rarely showed any expression. He was wearing a blue outfit. Perhaps because of his martial soul, the facial muscles of someone with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul were stiff.

"This is Ye Lingling, whose martial soul is Nine Heart Begonia. It is said that if a soul master team has a Nine Heart Begonia soul master, it is difficult for them to die."

Ye Lingling appeared to be around fifteen years old, with a slender and graceful figure. She was dressed in all black, with a black veil covering her face, and long, flowing blue hair cascading down her back. She had a pair of exceptionally beautiful large eyes, the same color as her hair, with a clear and unambiguous gaze. Her long eyelashes curved slightly upwards, and with a gentle blink, they seemed to speak volumes.

For some reason, Ye Lingling gives off a very lonely feeling.

The two brothers, Graphite and Millstone, give off a kind of honest and simple feeling, making people feel very safe where they stand.

Yu Feng and Oslo are both goofballs.

"This is Xiao Yi, his soul power is level 39. From now on, he will be your teammate."

"Wow, I thought I was the most handsome in the whole team, with only Oslo being able to rival me," Yu Feng said.

"Bullshit, I'm clearly the most handsome. I'm the face of the team. Now that Xiao Yi is here, I'm afraid I'll have to give him up."

The two were joking and teasing each other somewhere.

Xiao Yi has now fully grown up. His long white hair is draped over his shoulders. The two years of training in the Star Dou Great Forest have made his expression more resolute. His angular face still has a touch of childishness, which gives him a youthful feel. He is a handsome young man in every way.

Ye Lingling looked at him curiously at this moment, but did not say anything.

"Alright, stop fooling around. You guys rest today, training starts tomorrow."

Qin Ming left after he finished speaking.

Not long after Qin Ming left, everyone started talking amongst themselves.

"Xiao Yi, how come you're so handsome? You're even more handsome than me! I'm so jealous."

"Exactly, exactly. And how did you cultivate your soul power? You're younger than us, yet your cultivation level is higher than ours."

Xiao Yi was at a loss for words when asked the question, so he gave Dugu Yan a look.

"Alright, stop asking. Xiao Yi is my grandfather's apprentice." Dugu Yan stepped forward and stopped their questioning when she saw Xiao Yi's gaze.

Upon hearing that he was Dugu Bo's apprentice, everyone wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

However, their gazes were immediately drawn to Dugu Yan's hands.

"Oh my, Sister Yan, could this be your lover? You're holding hands so tightly."

It turned out that it was Dugu Yan who was holding Xiao Yi's hand.

"That's right, look, Sister Yan's face is all red."

Dugu Yan blushed as her teammates teased her, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Yi.

Then Dugu Yan spoke up, "You bunch of bastards, do you want to get a beating?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively trembled, recalling the days when they were dominated by Dugu Yan.

Because they didn't know that Dugu Yan's martial soul had evolved, they only knew that her grandfather had taken her to detoxify and guided her in cultivation over the past six months, which greatly improved his soul power. Therefore, they subconsciously thought that Dugu Yan's soul skills were still the same as before.

Yu Tianheng was staring at Dugu Yan's hand, wanting to say something, but he couldn't find the words to say.

Finally, he sighed, turned around, and left.

When everyone realized that Yu Tianheng had left, they all tacitly fell silent.

……

An hour later, everyone was chatting in the training ground. But actually, only Oslo and Yufeng were talking.

"Hey, look, isn't that His Highness the Crown Prince, Sect Leader Ning, and the Education Committee?"

Suddenly, Oslo looked in one direction and began to speak.

Everyone looked at Osro after hearing his words.

A group of people arrived. In front of them was a young man, next to a middle-aged man in a white robe, next to an elderly man, and behind them were three education commissioners.

They soon arrived near Xiao Yi and the others.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, with short hair that made him appear very energetic.

The middle-aged man next to him, Xiao Yi, had met him at the auction; he was the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

He had never seen the old man next to the middle-aged man before, but the old man's face was withered, his muscles and skin were shriveled, and his eyes were sunken. His physique was not the kind of robust with extremely bulging muscles, but his entire body frame was astonishingly large, and his clothes seemed to be completely stretched out of his skeleton.
