Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 113 Regret

At the same time, the soul ring energy of the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings finally condensed completely together.

At this moment, the energy fluctuations they emitted were far greater than those of the previous two times.

However, it no longer had the previous momentum and was merely stuck there, hesitant to move forward.

But Zhu Zhuqing was too lazy to wait any longer.

If the energy fluctuations within her body before could be considered a clenched fist, then now they have transformed into a steel blade.

"laugh--"

A series of tearing sounds, inaudible to the outside world, echoed within Zhu Zhuqing's body as the energy was rapidly and helplessly broken down.

The scattered energy was quickly devoured and assimilated by the Netherworld White Tiger, leaving it with no strength left to resist.

Subsequently, the Nirvana Sutra within his body spontaneously circulated, continuously condensing higher-level soul power.

The energy contained in the three spirit rings began to feed back into her body on a large scale, transforming into resources for Zhu Zhuqing's perfect advancement.

As her martial soul bloodline further sublimated, Zhu Zhuqing's newly gathered soul power began to transform her body in all aspects.

The meridians, bones, internal organs, skin and flesh—all the wounds inside and outside the body are being rapidly repaired simultaneously.

The broken meridians grew rapidly, and the internal organs that had shifted due to the previous energy impact returned to their original positions. At this moment, she felt as if she had been reborn.

Compared to before, Zhu Zhuqing has become several times stronger at this time.

When she had fully absorbed the spirit rings and everything was over, she had already broken through the bottleneck of the level 95 peak Douluo.

Zhu Zhuqing gently opened her eyes.

At this moment, she was wearing a white men's long robe, which completely concealed her alluring figure.

Beneath her feet, the crimson seventh, eighth, and ninth spirit rings shimmered with dazzling light.

These last three spirit rings from the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King had also evolved into 100,000-year spirit rings during their previous fusion and assimilation.

Just as Su Cheng had said before, absorbing these three soul rings at the same time would have a miraculous effect.

Of course, the process was also extremely dangerous.

However, when Zhu Zhuqing's gaze passed over these few 100,000-year soul rings that others could not possibly obtain, she only paused for a moment before glancing over them, without even bothering to carefully experience the attached soul ring skills.

Instead, he looked around.

The surrounding scenery was not much different from before.

A clear, calm lake, with a gentle, pervasive mist.

Despite the fierce battle that had taken place, the beautiful environment of this place remained untouched.

There's just one person missing.

Zhu Zhuqing gently tightened her long robe, her expression slightly bewildered.

Why would he choose to help himself at a crucial moment?

Doesn't he know what he just did to him?

Why leave alone and silently now?

He clearly said he needed to help him fight for his freedom...

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, a gentle breeze brushed her cheeks, and her long, black hair fluttered in the wind.

It's probably because of disappointment; I feel like I'm not worthy of trust at all...

She gently extended her right hand.

Between her slender, fair fingers and palms now lies a powerful force unimaginable to the world.

Even in the entire Star Luo Empire, no one could withstand a single punch from her.

"Ah, power..."

Indeed, given what I have done before, why should I expect to gain the other party's trust?

There are clearly many other options.

Explain the reasons directly and ask for the other party's opinion; perhaps they won't care about these things at all.

Or, why should I be the one who ultimately benefits?

Does Su Cheng not deserve to possess the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul?

He clearly understood better than I did how to use the power of the Netherworld White Tiger.

Perhaps it is as Su Cheng said before.

People like them don't have any so-called "friends," so there's absolutely no trust between them.

He didn't believe in himself.

Just as I hadn't believed him before.

But just now, Su Cheng unexpectedly woke up ahead of schedule, but instead of seeking revenge as she had imagined, he helped her completely master the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul.

That person has been doing the same thing all these years. Always standing behind her, helping her, supporting her.

"Freedom..."

Zhu Zhuqing sighed deeply.

She finally understood that she and Su Cheng were not only "comrades-in-arms" but also "fellow believers".

What they ultimately pursued was the same thing.

But it's too late now.

She possessed unparalleled power and an unmatched martial spirit.

They possessed the weapon to completely control their own destiny.

But at that moment, I felt a sense of emptiness.

"If only I could do it all over again..."

Before Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing the spirit ring, Su Cheng had already left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to the Duke's mansion.

This is also a helpless move.

Staying there would make many things difficult to explain.

For example, why would he repay evil with kindness and help Zhu Zhuqing? He had never been a moral exemplar in the past, and the other party knew this all too well.

For example, it's hard to believe that he managed to unleash his Soul Saint level strength again at that time.

It's better to just disappear and let the other person guess.

But he also had to return to the capital to stay informed about the changing situation.

He is not entirely certain whether Zhu Zhuqing will ultimately choose to ascend the throne.

Logically speaking, given her personality, she wouldn't let this opportunity slip by now that she's gotten this far.

But just now, in order to help her get through the danger, I could only help her to completely control the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul.

After realizing her true self, the emperor's position might become dispensable to her.

Of course, this possibility is actually quite small.

Without knowing that Xue Qinghe's true identity is actually Qian Renxue.

From the perspective of preserving one's family, ascending the throne and then fighting against fate is clearly the logical course of action.

After all, if the Heaven Dou Empire truly unifies the continent, and with the support of the Spirit Hall behind them, they still cannot be considered absolutely safe until Zhu Zhuqing truly becomes a Limit Douluo.

If even she is like this, then there's no need to say more about the other members of the Zhu family.

Given Qian Renxue's strategic vision, she would choose to spare the Star Luo royal bloodline and bring them under her control. However, the Heaven Dou royal family would clearly not pass up the opportunity to eliminate them completely.

If one wants to establish a foothold in the capital city of Xingluo, then the identity of Zhu Hongtao is the safest one.

"However, it's best to avoid meeting Zhu Zhuqing for the time being. If things really become unmanageable, we can make other plans then."

Now that Su Cheng has lost all his cultivation, many things are not as convenient as they used to be.

Fortunately, the level of the evolved external soul bone is still there, so there is no such thing as degeneration for this thing.

He was confident that his disguise could fool ordinary Title Douluos, but he wasn't sure he could fool peak Douluos above level 95, let alone someone like Zhu Zhuqing whose strength surpassed his own level.

"Let's wait and see..."
