Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 163 Angelic Furnace

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

……

After falling into the water time and time again, Long Haochen also mastered a little trick. The water was flowing, and his spiritual power had to change with the flow of the water so that he could walk on the water as freely as Sister Xue.

Just as Long Haochen regained his footing on the water, a small pebble fell into the current, creating ripples that disrupted the flow of the water, causing him to fall into the water once again.

Next, as soon as Long Haochen stood firm on the water, various things appeared from the air and fell into the water, disrupting the waves and causing him to fall into the water.

He knew that Qian Renxue had done it, and he understood why she did it. Long Haochen had no complaints at all, because he knew that Qian Renxue did it for his own good.

Having a foundation in tree climbing, Long Haochen mastered wading much faster, but even so, it still took him nearly a month to learn.

Inside the Bright Moon Palace!

Long Haochen, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, was fighting Ye Hua, who was equipped with the same weapon.

"What on earth has Hao Chen gone through during this time?! Not only his speed, but his strength and attack power have all increased so rapidly. His combat power has already surpassed that of a fourth-tier early-stage knight, yet his spiritual power is only around 480!"

Ye Hua blocked Long Haochen's attack with his shield, and was utterly shocked by the immense power inherited from the shield.

Long Haochen naturally had no idea what Ye Hua was thinking. At this moment, all he could think about was how to last longer in Yuehua's hands. He concentrated his mind highly, constantly mobilizing the spiritual power in his body to make it thinner and sharper when attacking, and thicker and heavier when defending.

Long Haochen slashed at Ye Hua with his sword, and a pure white sword light shot out from the sword, almost capable of unleashing everything.

"good!"

Ye Hua let out a satisfied shout and held up his shield in front of him.

"Snap!"

The sound of metal breaking rang out, and Ye Hua looked incredulously at the shield on his arm, which had been cleaved in two by that pure white sword energy.

"Ding!"

Even after the two halves of the shield fell to the ground with a crisp sound, Ye Hua was still not in a daze, and kept muttering to himself.

"How is this possible?! My shield requires a thousand points of spiritual power to break, and Hao Chen only has so little spiritual power!"

Long Haochen stared in disbelief at the knight's sword in his hand. He had only been thinking about attacking with all his might and had never considered splitting Ye Hua's shield in two.

"Could this be the result of controlling spiritual power?!"

Remembering Qian Renxue's words that her husband fought a seventh-level opponent with the strength of a fifth-level opponent, he now completely believed it. With his newly acquired skills in climbing trees and wading through water, he was able to use a burst of spiritual power to split a shield that required a thousand spiritual powers to cleave in two.

"Haochen, can you tell me how you did that?!"

Coming to his senses, Ye Hua picked up the shield from the ground and came to Long Haochen's side, his voice trembling slightly.

He had just tested Long Haochen's spiritual power a few days ago, so he naturally understood that it was impossible for Long Haochen to have more than a thousand spiritual power. Otherwise, there was only one possibility: Long Haochen had other methods that allowed him to deal more than a thousand spiritual power damage with only about five hundred spiritual power.

"Although Sister Xue didn't say I couldn't talk about training with her, I still need to let her know first, and then tell the teacher after she gives me her permission!"

Long Haochen thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Hua seriously and said, "Teacher, I can't tell you yet. Can I ask first?"

"Alright!" Ye Hua nodded, remembering that Long Haochen would leave the Knight Branch Hall every day after training and head to a villa in the suburbs. It must have been given to him by the villa's owner.

Inside the villa, Long Haochen told Qian Renxue about what had happened that day.

"You can tell him! You can even teach him how to control spiritual power, just don't come and bother me!"

"I understand! Sister Xue!"

Qian Renxue blew away the crumbs on the wood carving, which depicted Li Fei wearing the Demon Armor and wielding the Dark Demon Halberd and Sword Douluo.

Long Haochen glanced at the wooden carving and instantly sensed a change in the surrounding space. He found himself in a forest, where the two figures on the wooden carving were engaged in a fierce battle in the sky.

The domineering aura and sword momentum collided continuously, and the pure power burst and sword intent and sword light intersected. Long Haochen felt that the aftershocks alone could kill him countless times.

Qian Renxue did not stop Long Haochen. Watching the battle of the strong was very beneficial to his cultivation. Moreover, it was only what the wooden carving showed. As long as he did not get close to the center, Long Haochen's mental will could barely withstand it.

"Huff! Huff!"

Heavy breathing filled the air as Long Haochen knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face, panting heavily and soaking the ground.

He struggled to lift his head and asked incredulously:

"Sister Xue, is this what a battle between the strong is like?!"

"That wooden carving contains the battle memories of my husband fighting a ninth-tier opponent when he was at the seventh tier. Isn't that amazing?!"

Qian Renxue, like a child, proudly showed off to Long Haochen.

"Yes! That's really amazing!" Long Haochen nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration, completely agreeing with Qian Renxue's words.

"This is your next training. You can train at the Knights' Branch Hall. You don't need to come here every day! But come here every two weeks for practical lessons. Remember, there is no superiority or inferiority between so-called protection and punishment, and there is no need to draw a clear line between them."

The further the battle progresses, the less clear the so-called training path becomes. All you need to do is learn the skills you feel are suitable for you.

Seeing Long Haochen's expression, Qian Renxue was very satisfied. She stretched out her finger and touched Long Haochen's brow, passing on high-level spiritual power control techniques, deep sleep, and meditation to enhance mental strength to him.

Qian Renxue, who had followed Li Fei since childhood, also felt that cultivation did not need to be divided into too many details. As long as it suited her, whether it was a strong offensive, defensive, or auxiliary skill, she would learn it and create it herself.

Now she is also sharing this viewpoint with Long Haochen.

In the original work, Long Haochen is described as a dual-cultivation knight, but he has very few guardian knight skills and almost all of them are punishment knight skills, which doesn't seem like a dual-cultivation knight at all.

"I see!"

Long Haochen was somewhat confused, but he could tell that his older sister did not object to his dual cultivation of punishment and protection, and even wanted him to combine the two combat styles together.

Half a year passed quickly, and Long Haochen turned fourteen. He had passed the trial and qualified to participate in the Demon Hunter Team selection.

"Sister Li Xin! Wait for me a moment, I need to say goodbye to Sister Xue!"

At the entrance of the villa, Long Haochen spoke to Li Xin.

"Little brother, let me go in with you! I haven't thanked this sister yet for agreeing to pass on the method of controlling spiritual power to me. If it weren't for this technique, I wouldn't have been able to kill the Emerald Twin Blade Demon so easily this time."

Li Xin, arm in arm with Long Haochen, looked at the villa and asked with a curious expression.

During their trial, they encountered the fifth-tier demon race, the Emerald Twin Blade Demon. Long Haochen, a fifth-tier demon, didn't even have to lift a finger; she successfully killed him with only her advanced fourth-tier strength. All of this was thanks to the soul power control method taught to her by Qian Renxue.

"Alright! Although Sister Xue said not to bother her easily, we're all heading to the Temple in a couple of days for the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament, and we might not be back here for who knows how many years. Let's go in together!"

After thinking for a moment, Long Haochen decided to take Li Xin to see Qian Renxue.

As the two entered the villa, they saw wood carvings everywhere, all depicting the same person, whether fighting, living, or sleeping.

Li Xin was very curious and wanted to observe it carefully.

"Sister! Don't look! These wooden carvings contain Sister Xue's memories. If your cultivation isn't strong enough, forcing your way through will severely injure you!"

Long Haochen grabbed Li Xin, quickly covered her eyes, and warned her.

"Okay, I understand, I won't watch it!"

Li Xin nodded. She could hear the seriousness in Long Haochen's eyes and understood that the wooden carvings piled up in the courtyard were very dangerous. She pulled Long Haochen's hand away from his eyes and dared not linger on the wooden carvings.

The two crossed the courtyard and soon arrived inside the villa. They saw Qian Renxue playing a game with a controller in the living room. The character she was controlling on the screen was Li Fei, and Li Fei had taught her how to make the game.

To alleviate her longing for Li Fei, she turned Li Fei's growth into a game, in which she herself was the female protagonist.

"Sister Xue, I'm here!" Long Haochen smiled at Qian Renxue and sat down on the sofa next to her to wait.

Looking at the combat system on the screen, which was completely unrelated to the mainland, and especially since the protagonist was the prototype of the wooden sculpture outside and Qian Renxue, Li Xin was really curious. She sat down next to Long Haochen and asked, "Little brother, what is this sister doing?! I've never seen that combat style on the screen before?!"

None of the seven holy temples on the Holy Demon Continent had the same fighting style as the people on the screen, which made her even more curious.

"Actually, I'm not entirely sure either! I only know that Sister Xue isn't from this world because her husband, Li Fei, has been fighting in the universe for over twenty years and hasn't returned yet, so Sister Xue is traveling through various worlds."

The game she's playing now is based on her husband's experiences in her hometown!

Long Haochen whispered in Li Xin's ear.

"Not from this world!" Li Xin exclaimed, then immediately covered her mouth. She glanced at Qian Renxue, and seeing that she was being ignored, she quickly whispered tremblingly in Long Haochen's ear, "Being able to travel between worlds, then Sister Xue's strength must be..."

"Although Sister Xue didn't say it, based on our usual interactions, I estimate that she is at least at the level of a legendary god!" Long Haochen whispered.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as Sister Xue takes action, the Demon Clan's crisis will be easily resolved?" Li Xin exclaimed. With a legendary god taking action, whether it's the Demon Emperor or the Demon King, they'll all be nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs.

"I didn't ask either!" Long Haochen paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said awkwardly.

"The Divine Realm Committee has regulations that gods cannot interfere with the development of the mortal world! Moreover, this world is quite special. Once you break through to the god level, your body and soul will transform into energy and merge with heaven and earth, leaving no trace of consciousness! You should understand now!" Qian Renxue put down the controller at some point, looked at the two of them, and sighed.

Upon hearing this, the two instantly understood Qian Renxue's meaning. The Holy Demon Continent had no gods in the God Realm, and therefore no say in anything. The gods wouldn't pay attention to this world.

"Sister Xue, isn't your teaching me cultivation also considered interfering in mortal affairs?" Long Haochen said anxiously, "It's all because of me, Sister Xue, that you..."

"Li Fei is one of the six great god-kings in the divine realm, with a noble status. The other gods won't bother me with such a trivial matter!" Qian Renxue smiled, and her relaxed expression made Long Haochen breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way! Haochen, what did you bring your sister here for today?!" Qian Renxue looked Li Xin up and down, then asked Long Haochen curiously.

"It's like this! Sister Xue, I've qualified to participate in the Demon Hunter Team selection and will be going to the selection competition. I probably won't have the chance to train here anymore. I came here today to say goodbye!" Long Haochen said with a slightly sad expression.

"I see!" Qian Renxue looked enlightened, stood up, walked to Long Haochen's side, patted his head, and smiled, "Since that's the case, then let me give you a gift!"

Withdrawing her hand, Qian Renxue lightly tapped her fingers twice in the air, and two points of light floated in the air.

One point of light radiated golden light, exuding an incomparably sacred aura, while the other point of light emitted a golden-red light, radiating an extremely hot aura.

The two points of light continuously absorbed the elements of light and fire from the air, and the elements transformed into water that continuously flowed into the two points of light.

"Such powerful light and fire elements!"

Li Xin and Long Haochen stared blankly as the points of light continuously gathered elements, their hearts filled with shock.

Soon, two furnaces with six pairs of angel wings floated in the air and then flew to Long Haochen and Li Xin.

"Sister Xue, what's going on...?" Long Haochen asked with a puzzled look.

"These two spirit furnaces were created by me according to the rules of this world. The golden one is the Holy Angel Spirit Furnace. Its function is very simple: it will upgrade your light attribute to the holy attribute. It will also subtly enhance your physical qualities and accelerate your cultivation speed as your cultivation level increases. Once you fuse with it, you will no longer be the child of light, but the unique holy child of this continent."

Qian Renxue smiled and explained to Long Haochen, then looked at Li Xin who was standing to the side: "And in front of Li Xin is the Seraphim Spirit Furnace, which is used to perfectly fuse the two attributes of light and fire, and also has the effect of enhancing your physical fitness and cultivation speed."

"With these two spirit furnaces, you two will evolve once every time you break through a stage. After reaching the ninth rank, you'll evolve once for every level. These should be the most top-tier spirit furnaces on this continent!"

"Gulp!" Long Haochen and Li Xin swallowed hard, staring incredulously at the spirit furnace before them: "A spirit furnace capable of evolving more than ten times, truly worthy of being called a god!"
