Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 34 Showdown

To be honest, bringing Mu Yun over was indeed a good choice. The current team leader, Sun Buyu, is practically useless. Xiao Yi arranges and is in charge of the daily training, while Sun Buyu is only responsible for taking notes.

Besides, he was an acquaintance, so he felt at ease letting an acquaintance guide him. Moreover, Mu Yun could lead his team into the forest for training, so he could train with peace of mind.

"Hey kid, what are you thinking about?"

"Uh, no, I was thinking about hunting for spirit rings."

Dugu Bo noticed Xiao Yi staring blankly and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

"I'm thinking of hunting for spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest. Ye Lingling, you can go to the Sunset Forest. But I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa."

Dugu Bo thought about it and agreed. The variety of spirit beasts in Sunset Forest wasn't as complete as in Star Dou Great Forest, and Ye Lingling only needed spirit beasts that were a little over a thousand years old. In Dugu Bo's opinion, Xiao Yi needed spirit beasts that were at least forty to fifty thousand years old this time, so taking her to Star Dou Great Forest would be too dangerous.

"Alright, let's go to Sunset Forest first, and then to Starry Sky Forest."

"Grandpa, you take them there. I need to go to the Crown Prince's Palace."

When Dugu Bo heard that Xiao Yi was going to the Crown Prince's palace, he didn't ask why and left with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Xiao Yi went to the Crown Prince's palace, naturally for the sake of Mu Yun.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence.

Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, was observing Xiao Yi's recent situation.

Since meeting Xiao Yi five days ago, Qian Renxue has been paying close attention to his situation. During this time, she often sought out Xiao Yi under the guise of exchanging ideas, and learned about Xiao Yi's true situation.

Xiao Yi is very handsome; even Qian Renxue, who has been in Tiandou City for so many years, has few who can compare to him.

However, she valued Xiao Yi's strength more. If the second spirit ring was worth a thousand years, then the third spirit ring's seven thousand years and the fourth spirit ring's twenty thousand years would not make sense.

If others couldn't see it, wouldn't she? After examining Xiao Yi's spirit rings, she confirmed that Xiao Yi had always been absorbing power beyond his level.

Normally, a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is 400 years old, but Xiao Yi's first Soul Ring is nearly 600 years old. His second Soul Ring starts at 1,000 years old. Through her observation, Xiao Yi's second Soul Ring is definitely no less than 1,600 years old, his third Soul Ring is 7,500 years old, and his fourth Soul Ring is an absurd 20,000 years old. Moreover, he is 49 levels old at the age of 13, which is comparable to her.

She possesses extraordinary talent, a divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and innate soul power at level twenty.

Qian Renxue is now seventeen years old and at the Soul King level.

Her fourth spirit ring was only eight thousand years old, while Xiao Yi's third spirit ring was almost as old as her fourth. Furthermore, Xiao Yi's fourth spirit ring was even older than her fifth. Her grandfather's fourth spirit ring was only six thousand years old, and Tang Chen's was seven thousand years old. It could be said that she had already surpassed both her grandfather and Tang Chen.

But now, a genius soul master who is even younger than her has a fourth soul ring that is 20,000 years old? She has never even heard of such a thing in her life, let alone seen one.

It's important to understand the difference between a ten-thousand-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring. Soul rings under ten thousand years can be absorbed by those with strong enough physical attributes, but soul beasts experience soul shock when they reach ten thousand years. Qian Renxue was very curious about how he survived. Xiao Yi must have mastered the secret of transcending levels, because in her opinion, Xiao Yi's fourth soul ring was already twenty thousand years old, his fifth soul ring must be around forty thousand years old, his sixth soul ring would be sixty thousand to seventy thousand years old, and his seventh soul ring and beyond might all be over one hundred thousand years old. She had to personally recruit such a talent.

She told Serpent Spear Douluo to block Xiao Yi's news, and then wrote a letter to her grandfather explaining her ideas, which he agreed with.

After testing him so many times, she realized that Xiao Yi didn't want to get to know her well, based on her many years of experience in palace intrigue.

Xiao Yi's first reaction upon seeing her was surprise, followed by apprehension, and finally regret. Qian Renxue found this look strange.

However, Qian Renxue had a very good impression of Xiao Yi. Even though Xiao Yi was cold towards her and deliberately kept his distance when speaking to her, using very perfunctory and official language, she not only did not dislike him, but it also aroused Qian Renxue's competitive spirit as a woman, because she had been successful all these years and she found Xiao Yi very interesting.

Qian Renxue desperately wanted to subdue Xiao Yi. Such a genius had to be put to her use, and she couldn't let that wretched woman from the Papal Palace snatch him away. Therefore, she blocked all information about Xiao Yi.

Just as she was thinking about these things, she heard Xiao Yi's voice outside saying that he wanted to visit the Crown Prince.

"I don't know why he came to see me. Maybe he has something to ask me for. He wouldn't usually come to me with the Crown Prince's token if he didn't have something to ask."

Qian Renxue muttered to herself.

Because she was currently using Xue Qinghe's appearance, she didn't need to change clothes. She ordered Xiao Yi to come in.

"I wonder what business you have with me, Brother Xiao?"

"Your Highness, it's just the few of us here, no need to pretend."

"What do you mean by that, Brother Xiao?" Qian Renxue asked gently, not angry at Xiao Yi's words.

"What I mean is that you are not the Crown Prince, but someone from the Spirit Hall. Am I right, Your Excellencies?"

Xiao Yi said it directly.

Because Xiao Yi wanted to arrange for Mu Yun to be the team leader in the academy, and he didn't want Dugu Bo to go through personal favors, the only candidate in Tian Dou City was naturally Qian Renxue.

Before seeking out Xue Qinghe, he had already planned to confront him. Xiao Yi had also thought it through. Since everyone outside believed that he was the Crown Prince's man, and Xiao Yi happened to know that he was not the real Crown Prince, and since he might not be able to leave that place without a powerful backer, he could only confront Qian Renxue to gain the right to leave that place.

"You little brat, you're asking for death!" The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo, who were hiding in the shadows, couldn't sit still after hearing Xiao Yi's words, and grabbed Xiao Yi by the neck.

"Uncle She, put it down."

"But young master."

"It's alright, put it down."

"Yes."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Serpent Spear Douluo also put down Xiao Yi.

"I'm curious how you figured out I wasn't Xue Qinghe."

"Because you are too perfect."

"Isn't being too perfect a good thing?"

"Of course it's not a good thing. Think about it, isn't it strange that a crown prince who is perfect in politics and governing the country has no children?"

Qian Renxue agreed, as she usually focused on governing the country and handling political affairs, and did not care about having offspring.

"Besides, every time you see me you smell like women's perfume. The fact that a grown man is wearing women's perfume proves that you are not Xue Qinghe."

As a girl, she naturally loves beauty. Even when disguising herself as a man, she would still spray a little perfume. She never expected that the perfume would expose her.

"So what do you want from me?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

"We all know you're not a man, yet you still make that face. Can't you just show your true colors and speak like this?" Xiao Yi said, feeling a chill run down his spine after Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him.

"You!" Qian Renxue was speechless after being rebuked.

"Don't talk to me like that. Don't be speechless when you see my true face later," Qian Renxue thought to herself.

Qian Renxue then removed her disguise.

It must be said that Qian Renxue is indeed the most beautiful woman on the mainland. Even Xiao Yi, who has seen so many girls, was amazed by Qian Renxue's appearance.

However, he quickly returned to normal.

"As expected, everyone who sees my beauty will be amazed." Qian Renxue saw a hint of amazement in Xiao Yi's eyes and felt secretly pleased.
