Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 13 Strike at the Heart (Please continue reading)

As Su Cheng thrust out his sword, the golden world before him suddenly became slightly blurred.

The superfluous matter and colors were erased, leaving only faint or intense golden light in his field of vision.

It's like a once colorful and vibrant canvas that has been repeatedly washed, leaving only rough ink with light and dark spots.

He continued to thrust his long sword forward, traversing only the darker areas of the canvas.

To onlookers, it looked like a clumsy swordsman unable to steady his blade, the marks left by the tip of the sword were rugged and strange.

But even amidst the trajectory of these sword marks, the once seamless angelic domain was slowly cracked open.

At either end of this narrow passage stood Su Cheng, wielding a long sword, and Qian Renxue, her wings spread wide.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had a solemn expression, with beads of sweat seeping from her fair forehead as she tried her best to fill the gaps in her domain with her remaining soul power.

But with her actions, the area, which originally didn't have many flaws, became increasingly uncoordinated.

In Su Cheng's field of vision, the originally faint golden light was compensated for, but more and darker areas were frequently revealed.

He advanced even faster, breaking through to Qian Renxue's side in just a few breaths—

You lost.

At this moment, Su Cheng's face was pale, and his soul power was completely depleted, but his hand holding the sword was as steady as a rock.

Looking at the cracked, broken longsword pressed against her neck, Qian Renxue's face was filled with disbelief.

Looking at Su Cheng in front of her, she saw that his eyes were calm, without any joy or excitement, as if this was just an ordinary victory.

Qian Renxue lowered her head in despair and dissipated her angelic domain.

Her willpower was extraordinary; she wasn't someone who couldn't handle losing. Furthermore, she understood that Su Cheng's exhaustion wasn't due to a desperate effort to secure victory.

In fact, given Su Cheng's methods just now, there was absolutely no need for him to go to the trouble of advancing to this position.

All you need to do is keep finding weaknesses in her domain and attack them, and break through her domain completely with brute force. The price is that you, who released the domain, will be severely injured.

Inside the offering hall, the golden light in Qian Daoliu's eyes dimmed, and he said indifferently, "This boy is indeed qualified to be Xiaoxue's teacher, and is even more suitable to guide her than I am."

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, his tone still carrying a hint of confusion, "This kid's swordsmanship is quite something; he actually suppressed Xiaoxue the entire time."

"His three sword techniques are not simply defensive and offensive moves; they are closely integrated with each other." As Qian Daoliu explained, he also secretly reviewed the competition that had just taken place.

Although he had extremely high standards and great strength, he had never imagined such a way of using soul skills before seeing it.

"The first sword strike neutralized Xiaoxue's direct attack and weakened her momentum. Her kind of unstoppable soul skill is most vulnerable to being interrupted. If the two sides clashed head-on and ended up evenly matched, that would be fine. But the child's attrition-style defense is a natural counter. Moreover, this sword strike, while defending against Qian Renxue's attack, was also accumulating its own sword momentum, using the opponent's force against them."

"The second sword strike is another key point. If he cannot break through Xiaoxue's defensive soul skill with this sword, he will fall into the same awkward situation as Xiaoxue before."

"As for the third sword thrust, it should be the final killing move, and it seems to have the ability to see through the enemy's weaknesses."

"However, Xiaoxue's Angel Domain is still in its initial stage and is not perfect, so the bonus is not much. When she achieves her Martial Soul True Body in the future, these flaws will naturally disappear. If you want to break through it, you can only use domain against domain."

After hearing this analysis, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't he accumulate more power at the beginning, so he could win this battle without needing a third sword strike?"

Qian Daoliu glanced at his second brother and said helplessly, "Don't forget his martial soul and level. Whether it's the strength of his martial soul, his foundation, or the amount of his soul power, this kid is at an absolute disadvantage. He's already at his limit just now. If he holds on for a little longer, he'll probably be the first to give up."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head and smiled wryly, "I almost forgot, that kid is only a second-ring Great Soul Master. I really don't know how his brain works."

On the training ground, Su Cheng and Qian Renxue stood facing each other, silently adjusting their breathing to make up for the energy they had just used.

Qian Renxue, being of a higher level and possessing a better quality martial soul, recovered to a certain extent earlier.

Looking at Su Cheng, who had a calm expression on his face, she had a very complicated look in her eyes.

After he opened his eyes, Qian Renxue forced a smile and said, "Mr. Su's strength has truly exceeded my expectations. The Seven Kill Sword is indeed worthy of being called the number one offensive weapon spirit on the continent. The Seven Kill Sword Technique created from it is truly extraordinary."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Su Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I haven't learned the Seven Kill Sword Technique."

"What?!" Qian Renxue was shocked, her smile freezing on her face.

"Can't you even tell? I only used three basic sword techniques." Su Cheng sneered. "I'm afraid it's not that you didn't see it, but that you're unwilling to admit it, right? A dignified super martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel of the Thousand Family Heritage of the Spirit Hall, lost to ordinary sword techniques used by a low-level martial soul like mine. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened slightly, but she didn't know how to refute it.

"You guys are really something else. You spend your whole lives practicing those few soul skills you got from your martial soul. You keep practicing the same moves over and over again, and you'll only ever rely on your talent. Speaking of which, you wouldn't happen to be the guy the Pope mentioned who could be my disciple, would you?" Su Cheng looked her up and down, then slightly curled his lip. "A Soul Master under ten years old, your aptitude is not bad. It's a pity your comprehension isn't very good, and your intelligence is just average."

These words seemed rather damaging, and at least for the young Qian Renxue, they were somewhat difficult to bear.

Her tightly pressed lips trembled slightly, and she could only stubbornly stare at Su Cheng with her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever been treated with such contempt?

His unparalleled talent of level 20 innate soul power is unprecedented, even for a Soul Master under ten years old.

The top experts in the Hall of Worship doted on her. Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji regarded her as a future angel god, and all she heard were flattering words.

Even though Bibi Dong always disliked her, she never denied her natural talent.

"I……"

Qian Renxue opened her mouth, wanting to say something to defend herself, but then felt somewhat discouraged.

How can I put it?

Even with his Super Martial Soul Six-Winged Angel, a Soul Master level 32, and his innate domain, he still couldn't win. In the end, he was only spared injury and had to thank the other party for showing mercy.

"Wasting talent, wasting time. Outwardly powerful, but actually incredibly fragile. If stripped of innate talent, well..."

Su Cheng gave his final comments without mincing words.

"It's nothing."

Dear readers, please don't wait for the book to finish during the new release period. Don't worry, there won't be any filler content, and the plot will progress very quickly.
