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

Chapter 60 - End of the School Year

Finally, after a secret ballot, four class leaders and deputy class leaders were selected. The class leaders and deputy class leaders for the offensive department were Qian Renxue and Dai Huabin, while the class leaders and deputy class leaders for the control department were Qian Lingyun and Cao Jinxuan.

After Mu Jin gave a lecture full of classical allusions, the two sisters were about to go to the cafeteria to buy the limited-edition pudding when Huo Yuhao stopped Qian Lingyun at the classroom door with his head down. Seeing the conflicted expression on his face, it seemed that he had something to say.

"Sis, go get in line for me, I'll be right there," Qian Lingyun said, giving Qian Renxue a reassuring look before leaning lazily against the classroom door.

"Huo, what's wrong? Are you struggling with your studies? Don't worry, as the class monitor, I'll definitely help you catch up with everyone."

"You know I didn't come here for this," Huo Yuhao said, looking up at Qian Lingyun seriously. Qian Lingyun noticed that Huo Yuhao's hands were tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, as if he was very nervous.

"Oh dear, is it because you dropped from level seventeen to level fifteen?" Qian Lingyun casually twirled a strand of hair with her index finger, sighed, and remarked:

"Huo, speaking of which, I really have to give you a good talking-to! Why did you play so aggressively in one game? I'm not your mother's killer!"

"Losing the game and damaging your foundation is something I, as the class monitor, don't recommend. Be more careful next time!"

"You!" Huo Yuhao was clearly angered by Qian Lingyun's nonchalant attitude, but he still suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, looked around, and said in a low voice, "What exactly did you mean by what you said to me in the infirmary that day?"

"What do you mean!?"

"What could someone as good as me possibly mean!" Qian Lingyun feigned surprise, straightening up and leaning forward to whisper in Huo Yuhao's ear, coldly saying, "I'm helping you see reality clearly! What, did I say something wrong?"

"Wasn't it the Star Luo royal family that killed your mother? Wasn't it Duke White Tiger who left you and your mother destitute and alone?"

"What, have you forgotten your mother's resentment and pain before her death?" As she said this, a hint of mesmerizing purple flashed in Qian Lingyun's dark red eyes.

The Dream Beyond effect of the left leg's divine equipment soul bone activated again.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's mind flashed through the pain and humiliation he had suffered at the White Tiger Duke's mansion. His eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, saying bitterly, "I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't forgotten!"

"Since they haven't forgotten, then we must work even harder! Only then can they pay a bloody price, right?"

"Yes, I want revenge! I want the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Star Luo Royal Family to pay for their blood debts!" ​​Huo Yuhao's eyes were lifeless as he lowered his head and followed Qian Lingyun's rhythm in his thoughts.

However, Huo Yuhao's eyes quickly regained their clarity.

By this time, the purple glint in Qian Lingyun's eyes had completely vanished. She had regained her previous nonchalant attitude, crossed her arms, and chuckled, "Lies don't hurt; the truth is the sharpest blade!"

"By the way, your level 15 cultivation is very dangerous! If you don't break through to the second ring before the next semester starts, you'll be expelled! As the class monitor, I can't let a classmate be expelled."

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun took out a small white porcelain bottle from her storage soul tool and tossed it into Huo Yuhao's arms. "This is a Soul Advancement Pill, which can increase one level of soul power before level 20. I have no use for it and it takes up space, so I'm giving it to you as a way to help a fellow student who is falling behind."

"If there's nothing else, I need to go back for dinner. Goodbye."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun turned and left, waving goodbye to Huo Yuhao with a flourish.

That Soul-Enhancing Pill was a free gift she received a few days ago when she went for a stroll and bought something at the Treasure Pavilion. It was different from the Xuan Shui Pill, which was worth a fortune and had the miraculous effect of cleansing tendons and marrow.

The Soul-Enhancing Pill has no special effects; it can only increase soul power by one level. As for the side effects, Qian Lingyun doesn't take it, so how would she know?

When Qian Lingyun met Qian Renxue again, Qian Renxue had already prepared the food and was sitting in a chair resting with her eyes closed. Only after Qian Lingyun sat down did she slowly open her eyes, looking at Qian Lingyun with a half-smile and saying:

"What does that kid want with you?!"

"It's nothing, they just asked me a few questions," Qian Lingyun said, her mouth full of food, her words muffled.

"Just a few questions?" Qian Renxue fiddled with the food in front of her, propped her head up with her hand, sighed, and said leisurely:

"I thought this chosen one was decisively defeated on the field, and out of hatred turned to love, driven by admiration for strength, he fell head over heels for you and became your devoted follower!"

"Hiss...you seem to be seriously ill!" Qian Lingyun rolled her eyes speechlessly, then took a piece of fried bluebird marrow from Qian Renxue's plate and shoved it into Qian Renxue's mouth with a vicious shove, saying coldly, "Eat, give it to me, I don't believe that even food can't shut you up!"

"Ugh, are you trying to choke me to death to silence me?" Qian Renxue took the opportunity to bite Qian Lingyun's chopsticks, and asked curiously, "Guess what day it is today?"

"I don't know," Qian Lingyun said irritably, pulling back her chopsticks and shoveling rice into her mouth with a stern face, until a ball of golden flame appeared in Qian Renxue's palm.

"Today is the weekly adaptive training session. As usual, after the medicinal bath, there will be half an hour of sacred fire body tempering."

"Hehe... I know!" Qian Lingyun chuckled dryly, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. A bitter feeling welled up inside her. At this moment, no matter how delicious the food was, it tasted like cardboard in her mouth!

As someone who had been through it all, Qian Renxue, in order to prevent Qian Lingyun from being led astray by the Rakshasa Godhood, set a rule of weekly Holy Fire Body Tempering.

Firstly, because the Holy Fire Body Tempering really improves physical fitness; secondly, it can cultivate Qian Lingyun's resistance to the Light attribute; and thirdly, it can prevent the mind and body from being corrupted by evil thoughts.

But this is not a comfortable process.

After a hearty meal, a radiant Qian Renxue pulled a reluctant Qian Lingyun toward the dormitory.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qian Lingyun will probably have to go to class with a sore back again the next day.

Before she had even served as class monitor for a week, Qian Lingyun had already become a hands-off manager, handing over the task of managing the class to the vice class monitor, Cao Jinxuan. Every day in class, he would repeatedly memorize a book on the basic theory of soul tools and the identification of rare metals.

What surprised Qian Renxue even more was that every evening after dinner, Qian Lingyun would inexplicably disappear for an hour, muttering some obscure and difficult-to-understand phrases.

One day, unable to contain her curiosity, she secretly followed Qian Lingyun to a dense forest. There, she saw Qian Lingyun walk into a gray door that appeared out of nowhere. An hour later, she emerged from the door, yawning.

"Is this her trump card? This looks interesting!" Qian Renxue looked at the gray door with suspicion for a while before returning to her dormitory.

Later, after some subtle questioning, Qian Lingyun reluctantly told Qian Renxue about her teacher from another world, the necromancer god Ilex.

Yes, nourished by Qian Lingyun's powerful soul and abundant nutrients, Electrolux awoke much faster than he would normally have in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

In addition, Qian Renxue occasionally used her angelic power to help Qian Lingyun clear her meridians, and that special power full of divine aura indirectly accelerated Ilex's recovery speed.

On the very day the classes were assigned, Electrolux had already ended his slumber and was able to have long conversations with Qian Lingyun.

Ever since I sensed the aura unique to the divine realm deep within Qian Lingyun's soul, and that unique, joyful heart.

Electrolux was also very pleased and determined to pass on all his skills to Qian Lingyun.

Qian Lingyun gladly accepted and formally performed the apprenticeship ceremony with Ilex, thus beginning her journey of learning as a necromancer.

Memorizing texts during the day, chanting mantras in the afternoon, and practicing cultivation at night—this is the main theme of Qian Lingyun's daily life.

Two months later, Qian Renxue was the first to break through the level 40 barrier, only one more soul ring away from becoming a four-ring Soul Master. Another month passed, and Qian Lingyun also broke through the level 40 barrier.

After both of them broke through the level 40 barrier, Qian Renxue meaningfully pulled Qian Lingyun to the edge of the Sea God Lake one night.

According to the original plot, the first chapter of the original text

The Duke represents the Star Luo Empire in wars, leaving all affairs of the household under the control of the Duchess. The Duchess already has a son and a daughter, and she suppresses anything that might potentially affect her children in the future. Things were somewhat better when the Duke was in power, but once he left, the household became the Duchess's domain. She is also the current Star Luo Empire's most beloved youngest daughter.

The Duchess is the daughter of the Star Luo Emperor, but this contradicts the beginning of the story in the finale.

However, there are too many inconsistencies in the events depicted in Douluo Continent. I will stick to the initial premise and assume that the Duchess is a member of the Star Luo royal family.

Interestingly, the Duchess, the daughter of the Star Luo Emperor, is older than the Emperor's younger sister, Jiu Jiu…
