In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 238 Qian Renxue returns the gift and teaches step by step

"To avoid any unforeseen complications, why don't you absorb this precious chest bone?"

"Alright! Then I'll trouble you seniors to protect me for a while longer."

Lin Hai also felt it would be safer to absorb the chest bone as soon as possible. Fortunately, there were now three Title Douluos around, so absorbing the soul bone would be very safe for him.

Lin Hai was keenly aware of one thing: no matter what, he had to improve his strength first, otherwise he might face a sudden attack from Tang Hao at any time.

Instead of passively defending against attacks, it's better to proactively strengthen one's own capabilities. As long as one is strong enough, there's no need to worry about Tang Hao's petty actions.

……

Several days later, Lin Hai, Qian Renxue, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo, a group of five, had already embarked on their journey back.

Lin Hai and Dugu Bo accompanied Qian Renxue to Tiandou City first.

Qian Renxue successfully completed the handover and resumed her identity as Xue Qinghe.

Just as Lin Hai was about to say goodbye to Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue called out to him.

"Lin Hai, wait a minute, come with me for a second, I need to talk to you!"

"Hmm... okay!" Lin Hai followed Qian Renxue into a room.

After Lin Hai and Qian Renxue left, Dugu Bo started winking at Yue Guan.

"You rotten chrysanthemum, I think your Spirit Hall's young master is probably bewitched by this brat!"

"You're talking nonsense..." Just as Yue Guan was about to say "You're talking nonsense," she suddenly remembered that Lin Hai was her grand-nephew, and stopped speaking the next moment.

Yue Guan: It seems... probably... that's right, good things shouldn't go to outsiders! If my nephew Lin Hai and the young master can get together, it wouldn't be a bad thing. With Lin Hai's talent, the Grand Elder should be able to approve!

"Speechless now, aren't you! You think the same thing as me, right? Hahahaha!" Dugu Bo made no attempt to hide his laughter.

Ghostly remained in a wait-and-see attitude.

"Hmph!" Yue Guan snorted unhappily.

……

"Here, take this first. Consider it part of my repayment of your debt to the Immortal Items." Qian Renxue took out a tightly sealed box from her soul tool.

"What is this?" Lin Hai looked at the sealed box and hesitated for a moment before taking it.

"Open it and see for yourself!" Qian Renxue said with a hint of lightness in her voice.

Indeed, the contents of the box in her hand would drive anyone crazy. She gave Lin Hai such a lavish gift not only to repay part of a favor he had done her, but also to see how surprised he would be when he opened the box.

Lin Hai took the box from Qian Renxue's hand. He had a guess in his mind, but he felt that the guess was too unrealistic.

That thing is no joke.

Lin Hai used his soul power to break the soul power seal placed by Qian Renxue and slowly opened the sealed box.

Swish!

A strong surge of soul power rushed towards me.

Lin Hai's pupils dilated, and he thought to himself, "It really is it. Qian Renxue has great courage."

Qian Renxue noticed the surprise in Lin Hai's eyes and was very pleased.

"As you can see, this is a 100,000-year-old soul bone that was born alongside my seventh soul ring."

"Since I already have the soul bone for this part, I don't need it."

"That's perfect, I'll lend you one of my two premium plants!"

"The immortal-grade item and the 100,000-year-old soul bone are both rare treasures. I'll accept your return gift!"

Qian Renxue thought Lin Hai didn't know about the Angelic Armor, but what he didn't know on her birthday was that he already knew her secret completely.

However, Qian Renxue is preparing to settle this matter!

"Since that's the case, let's leave our official business for now. I'd like to talk about something private." Xue Qinghe, also known as Qian Renxue, who had resumed her identity as the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, circled around the forest.

"You..." Qian Renxue looked at Lin Hai with a burning gaze and a serious expression.

"How do you know the inside story of my Spirit Hall regarding the Angel God? And why are you so sure I will become a god?" Qian Renxue stared intently at Lin Hai, seemingly trying to find an answer on his face.

"As the longest-standing Soul Master force on the continent, the Spirit Hall has indeed kept many secrets very well hidden."

"But..." Lin Hai turned and went to the window.

He continued, "There is no secret that cannot be kept."

"I've loved reading since I was a child, from humanities and sciences to encyclopedias of spirit beasts, and from sect secrets to ancient records."

"The legends of the angel god and the sea god are not that far removed from the present day; their legends can still be found in some esoteric Buddhist texts."

"Moreover, your innate soul power exceeds level ten, and you have the backing of the Spirit Hall founded by the Angel God. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the next darling!" Lin Hai said, looking directly at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue did not avoid his gaze; her eyes met Lin Hai's.

"Alright!" Qian Renxue slowly shifted her gaze.

"I see!"

"There's one more thing. Our plan has now reached its most critical moment, and Ning Fengzhi has already taken action."

"Emperor Xueye is already showing signs of poisoning. He's been resting too much each day, his energy is low, and the light in his eyes isn't as majestic as it used to be."

"The progress on Emperor Xueye's side is going smoothly, but on Avalanche and Xuexing's side..."

"Are they at a loss for what to do?"

"Um!"

"Prince Snowstar protected the avalanche too well."

"After my men investigated for some time, we discovered why Avalanche suddenly acted so extravagantly a few years ago."

"It's entirely because Prince Snowstar interfered."

"I think it was the deaths of the Second and Third Princes of the Heavenly Dou Empire that made that old ghost Xue Xing suspicious and wary!"

"Xue Xing came from the era of Emperor Xue Ye. Although he was young at that time, he witnessed the bloodshed and cruelty of the royal family members fighting for the throne."

"With the successive deaths of the Second and Third Princes of the Heaven Dou Empire, it's hard for Prince Xue Xing not to suspect that you had a backup plan. Especially since the Second and Third Princes of the Heaven Dou Empire were filled with covetousness for the Crown Prince's throne during that period."

"Prince Xuexing lived in the palace intrigue. Back then, Emperor Xueye only spared him because of his age. Therefore, Prince Xuexing immediately suspected you when the Second and Third Princes of the Tiandou Empire died."

"Perhaps Xue Beng and Xue Xing are somewhat similar! Both are the youngest princes and neither is favored. Xue Xing couldn't bear to see Xue Beng die unjustly at your hands, so he made the move for Xue Beng!" Lin Hai offered his answer.

"But... according to my investigation, Xue Beng's playboy persona doesn't seem to be faking it!"

"First of all, they have warped values, are generally idle, loaf around, gamble, harass respectable women, bully and monopolize the market..." Qian Renxue listed Xue Beng's sins, and the more she talked, the higher Xue Beng ranked on her list of sins.

Although the avalanches themselves are not the biggest problem, there are just too many of them and they are disgusting.

"I think he was faking it at first, but towards the end he was actually enjoying it."

"After all, not just anyone can be a playboy!" Lin Hai remarked.

Qian Renxue was starting to doubt her ears; she could detect a hint of envy in Lin Hai's tone.

"The avalanche's arrogance is no longer just an guise. As the biological son of Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire and the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, he is quite safe."

"Of course, unless he's courting death or he's unlucky enough to be killed by a Soul Master who doesn't know him."

"In addition, Prince Xuexing thought of everything for him, so Xue Beng was able to enjoy his life of luxury with peace of mind."

"It's no longer the same cautious attitude as before."

"Ha, he's living quite comfortably." Qian Renxue's tone was full of disdain for the avalanche.

She killed the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. What could the last Fourth Prince possibly do?

……

"Avalanches should not be rushed or forced."

"Emperor Xueye is old. He only has two sons left. He would be heartbroken to lose either one, and he would definitely suspect that the other prince was responsible."

"This is very detrimental to your succession to the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Unfounded suspicion is the most deadly."

"Moreover, it's not just Emperor Xueye who will be suspicious of you; the court officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire will also have a bad impression of you."

Lin Hai shared his insights.

"Yes, you're right." Qian Renxue agreed with what Lin Hai said.

"I have some things to take care of right now, and then I'll come and help you."

"Thanks!"

"No need," Lin Hai said righteously. "We share a common goal, and for that goal, we have an unshirkable duty."

As for whether he had any other ideas, only Lin Hai himself knew.

……

Lin Hai left, together with Dugu Bo.

Lin Hai's next task was a bit urgent; he needed to finish some things before Tang Hao had time to bother him.

Otherwise, once Tang Hao reacts, his actions will be somewhat restricted.

However, before taking action, he needed to return to Silves City.

He needs to go back and report to his teachers and family.

……

"Teacher, we're back!" Lin Hai pushed open the door to Meng Shu's office and entered with Dugu Bo.

"How's it going, Xiao Hai? Have you all finished your work?"

"Hahahaha, old man Meng, you'd never guess what we went through on this trip." Dugu Bo laughed arrogantly.

"What? What good thing happened to you two this time?" Meng Shu put down his work, looked up and smiled at Lin Hai and Dugu Bo.

"Come, come, kid, let your teacher take a good look." And let this old man Meng be quite surprised.

Lin Hai also really wanted his teachers to see his students' current achievements.

"Martial Soul - Possession!" Lin Hai whispered.

The Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul appeared on Lin Hai's right hand, and tiny blue silver grasses with golden patterns wrapped around his right hand.

Tang Hao's threat has always been there. Now, with his current strength and the company of a Title Douluo, he is at least confident that he can escape from Tang Hao.

He wasn't sure what the current situation was between Tang Hao and Tang San.

Is Tang Hao still training Tang San? Has Tang Hao discovered that Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone has disappeared? These are questions Lin Hai needs to consider.

……

A spirit ring slowly appeared beneath Lin Hai.

Yellowish-purple...

Dark...

red!!

"What?! A 100,000-year soul ring!!" Meng Shu suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Hahahaha, how about it, Old Man Meng? Pretty shocking, right?" Dugu Bo laughed unkindly.

"What exactly did you guys do? I remember Xiao Hai, you weren't even level 60 when you left, were you?" Meng Shu was clearly still in shock.

"I had a sudden inspiration on the way and broke through." Lin Hai wiped his nose. After all, he was his teacher, and Lin Hai still maintained his respect and awe for his mentor.

In the Douluo Continent, for every Soul Master, their teacher is like their father.

"Then what about your 100,000-year soul ring?" Meng Shu's gaze fell on the 100,000-year soul ring with golden patterns that had appeared on Lin Hai's body.

Dugu Bo: "We were lucky; we encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"I remember Chrysanthemum Douluo was with you," Meng Shurao said thoughtfully.

"Xiao Hai, you're really lucky!" Meng Shu looked at Lin Hai again, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"However, you can't be arrogant just because your sixth spirit ring is a 100,000-year spirit ring."

"Okay, teacher!"

"Hmm!" Meng Shu was extremely satisfied with his student.

"Teacher, I might have to go away for a while longer!"

"Going out again?" Meng Shu frowned slightly.

The truth is that Tang Hao is outside and poses a huge threat to Lin Hai at all times.

The reason Lin Hai was allowed to go out last time was because he knew that with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan accompanying him, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo also there, Lin Hai's safety was not a problem.

This time... Dugu Bo alone might not be enough!

Lin Hai knew what Meng Shu was thinking, so he took the initiative to say to Meng Shu, "Teacher, you can test me!"

"Oh? You have the confidence to fight a Title Douluo?" Meng Shu looked at Lin Hai with newfound respect.

It's not for any other reason than that he has a certain understanding of his students, and they never boast.

Since Lin Hai dared to say that, it proves that he was confident.

Meng Shu: Very well! I, as his so-called teacher, haven't really taught Xiao Hai much, so let me teach him more practical combat skills! And practical combat skills against Title Douluo.

"Hehe, Xiao Hai, since you became my disciple, I haven't really taught you much. Since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to communicate with you, which can be considered as my teaching by example."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!" Personal guidance from a titled Douluo-level expert is a rare and precious opportunity.

On the one hand, there needs to be a titled Douluo willing to teach, and on the other hand, the person being taught needs to be strong enough.

"Um!"

"Come with me!" Meng Shu said, then walked out the door, got up, and flew into the sky.

Lin Hai followed closely behind, as did Dugu Bo, who was simply there to watch the spectacle.
