Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 52 - Beyond the Dream, Ability Activated!

"I've taken care of this, you hurry up over there!" Qian Lingyun said with her hands on her hips, smiling as she watched Qian Renxue wrestle with a mountain of flesh.

"What are you rushing me for?!" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes in annoyance and retorted, "You think you're all grown up now, lecturing me?"

"Tch, I'm just worried you're not up to the task."

Qian Lingyun raised her right hand, examining her newly painted nails in the sunlight, and chuckled softly.

"No? What's wrong? Who's wrong?!" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, deflected Xie Huanyue's arm with a sword, and kicked the mountain of flesh so hard that it almost fell to the ground.

"Kicked me back? What kind of force is that?" Xie Huanyue was both surprised and angry. She took a step back with great fear, and for a moment she didn't know who she should attack.

"I'm afraid you're not up to par!" Qian Lingyun said to Qian Renxue in an exaggerated manner, hands on her hips. "If you're playing so slowly, it's either because you're physically weak or your technique is lacking."

Ning Tian: "There's no evidence to support the claim that it's a suspicious vehicle!"

After saying that, Qian Lingyun took a few steps towards Xie Huanyue and sneered, "Just say you want my help! I won't laugh at you!"

"I need your help, girl? Watch closely!" Qian Renxue's face darkened, and the holy sword in her hand emitted a dazzling light!

"First Soul Skill, Enlightenment!"

"Third Soul Skill, Breaking Army!"

With a sharp cry, Qian Renxue raised the holy sword in her hand high into the sky, and the power of light gathered at the top of the holy sword from all directions.

A series of translucent golden holy sword phantoms emanated terrifying soul power fluctuations, pointing at Xie Huanyue from afar.

"Ugh, what... what are you doing?!" Xie Huanyue felt the constantly rising soul power fluctuations and tried to escape in terror, but under the suppression of a halo, her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and she could not move.

Rings of golden light continuously invaded his body, and Xie Huanyue felt his soul power rapidly disintegrating and dissolving under the golden energy.

Shocked, he hurriedly activated his soul power, wanting to unleash his thousand-year soul ring technique. However, to his surprise, he found that he couldn't.

"Beautiful sister, this can't be serious! Why are you sisters fighting and hitting me?"

Unable to move an inch, Xie Huanyue was filled with panic. His legs trembled, and he was drenched in sweat. He looked to the referee outside the arena for help.

"Referee, I concede!"

Under this terrifying pressure, Xie Huanyue could no longer hold back. He hysterically shouted towards the outside of the arena, and the proctors rushed to his aid, standing in front of him.

"snort!"

As the momentum dissipated and the light faded, Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Qian Lingyun, giving her a look that said, "Just wait and see how I teach you a lesson when we get back."

Without the controller's guidance, the holy swords in the sky lost their respective attack directions and collided together like headless flies, bursting into brilliant golden light.

"I said... let me contribute this afternoon! I haven't used any soul skills since the assessment started, and I've just been standing here like an idiot, it's so boring!" Ning Tian said with a bitter expression as he greeted the two people walking down from the field.

"Okay, I'll take care of something else this afternoon, you guys can go on your own." Qian Lingyun nodded, ignoring Qian Renxue's fiery glare, and skipped off the field.

"Forehead……"

Ning Tian took a few steps back warily, seemingly not wanting to get involved in the two's family affairs.

The freshman assessment elimination rounds are now coming to an end, and the top eight teams have been determined after the morning's competition.

Undoubtedly, they are all the best teams. It's just that there are always a few teams that are ridiculously strong.

Only eight teams remained in the knockout stage. When Ning Tian and Qian Renxue arrived at the competition venue in the afternoon, they immediately attracted the intense attention of the other seven teams.

Clearly, no one wants to face this top-tier team of three Soul Masters in the quarterfinals, even if only two of them are on the field.

"Bai Xue's team, come up and draw lots." Director Du Weilun waved to Qian Renxue, who strode over, casually drew a wooden stick, and handed it over.

"Number two!" Du Weiren took the wooden stick, glanced at it briefly, and announced loudly.

This time, their opponents came from Class 3 of the freshmen.

All three were Great Soul Masters of level 20 or above. Overall, their strength was decent, but still not enough.

"How so!" Ning Tian asked, leaning closer. Judging from her eager expression, she had clearly been itching to get started for a long time.

"Let's go for it!" Qian Renxue said calmly.

"Understood." Ning Tian smiled slightly, gently supporting his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda with his arm, and uttered a low shout: "The Seven Treasures emanate from the glazed tiles, the first being: Speed, the third: Power!"

The first and third soul rings on the Glazed Pagoda lit up, and the rich two-colored light made the pagoda even more magnificent. Two dazzling beams of light shot out from the pagoda and landed on Qian Renxue.

"Broken Army!"

High-level operations often don't require too much fancy prelude. With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, Qian Renxue's Soul Skill, even if released casually, is equivalent to a four-ring Soul Master unleashing their full Soul Skill.

All the three opponents could do was to use their soul skills to resist.

Such a powerful attack, even just the aftershocks, left them completely disoriented. When the dust settled, all three of them lay on the ground, covered in soot.

As evening fell, Qian Lingyun, with a candied hawthorn skewer she bought at the school gate dangling from her mouth, waved to Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun. Qian Renxue walked up to her, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the food crumbs from the corners of Qian Lingyun's mouth, asking with concern, "What did you do this afternoon?"

"It's nothing," Qian Lingyun smiled slightly, leaned close to Qian Renxue's ear, and whispered, "I went to the infirmary to help that first-ring kid understand reality and his enemies."

"..." Qian Renxue didn't speak, but just looked at Qian Lingyun quietly, and asked curiously, "What did you say to him?"

"Well... he didn't say much, just told him exactly who his enemy was. The people he hates aren't just us who defeated him once, but the White Tiger family and the entire Star Luo Empire!"

At this point, Qian Lingyun bit off the last piece of fruit from the candied hawthorn, held it in her mouth, and mumbled, "I can't kill the Chosen One, but can't I at least stir up his hatred? As long as he doesn't get in my way, I can't be bothered with him!"

"Besides, I didn't tell any lies. I just analyzed the reality and then reiterated it to him. Isn't it a good thing to help someone strengthen their beliefs?"

At this point, a faint, cold glint flashed in Qian Lingyun's eyes as she vaguely recalled what had happened that afternoon:

She found Huo Yuhao sitting on the hospital bed in a daze and explained his tragic fate to him point by point, directly exposing the facts that he was unwilling to believe.

Faced with the bloody facts and truth, Huo Yuhao slumped helplessly on the hospital bed, his eyes filled with pain. He asked Qian Lingyun unwillingly what the source of all his suffering was.

But Qian Lingyun only sighed and offered a pitying consolation: "I've said so much, don't you understand?"

"The people who ruined your mother's life were Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger and the entire White Tiger Duke's Mansion, even the entire Star Luo Empire. It was also the White Tiger Duke's Mansion that killed your mother, and Dai Huabin, who injured your mother, was just one of them!"

"If you want revenge, you must pursue power. When you possess great power, you can make everyone who harmed your mother pay the price!"

"Go forth, pursue even greater power!"

At this point, Qian Lingyun's pupils shone with a hint of purple, and the skill of the left leg piece of her divine equipment—Dream Beyond—was activated.

Considering that there is still a powerful, fat worm in Huo Yuhao's mind, forcibly brainwashing him would only backfire. It would be better to let Huo Yuhao look at his unbearable memories of those years in the Duke's mansion from the other side of the dream.

"You hate these guys, don't you? Get stronger and take revenge, for yourself and for your mother."

After saying that, Qian Lingyun glanced meaningfully at Huo Yuhao, who was staring blankly, then stood up, left the infirmary, and returned to the examination field.
