Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 132 Who told me to be your father?

The next day, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire appeared.

Once she regained consciousness, Zhu Zhuqing leaped out of the spring, creating splashes of water.

Startled by the noise, Su Cheng felt relieved and quickly turned to look.

But then a white figure spun in the air and sank back into the water.

"Do you have spare clothes?"

Zhu Zhuqing, who was submerged underwater, felt a surge of shame and anger upon hearing the mocking voices coming from afar.

Under the combined effect of the powerful energy within her body and the extremely cold and hot spring water of the Yin-Yang Well, her clothes had long since melted away, and she was now completely naked, submerged in the water.

After asking a question, Su Cheng saw that the other party did not reply, so he stopped paying attention to her.

Although soul tools are rare items, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhu Zhuqing, given her background, to obtain one.

He turned back around and went back to doing his own thing.

Since Xiao Wu no longer has the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red to conceal the aura of the soul beast on her body, I will help her prepare some medicine.

However, this kind of thing is obviously not that easy to make.

It's manageable to fool ordinary people, but trying to fool a Title Douluo of Bibi Dong's level is an impossible task.

Even with his medical expertise, he has no clue what to do now and can only try his best.

A moment later, "whoosh—"

Suddenly, a sharp sound of a blade slicing through the air came from behind.

Zhu Zhuqing appeared silently not far behind him and attacked with a claw.

"Clang—"

A barrier of sword energy spontaneously appeared, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing. Su Cheng turned around with a smile on his face.

He said, "Too slow, and too weak."

A glint flashed in his eyes, revealing that Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation had increased by another level.

The medicinal properties of the two highly poisonous immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, are not so mild. Unlike the Narcissus Jade Bone or the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, they are not easy to absorb. At least with Zhu Zhuqing's current cultivation level, it is difficult for her to immediately convert them into her own soul power.

It requires the constant cleansing of the physical body with the help of the spring water in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

"Is this how you thank me?" Su Cheng said casually, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's angry expression.

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed red and then turned pale. After glaring at him for a while, she muttered, "Disgusting!"

"I didn't watch it."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt even angrier for some reason.

But then Su Cheng added, "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before; you haven't fully grown yet."

"Su Cheng!"

Zhu Zhuqing's soul rings flashed, and she slammed her claws down again.

This time, Su Cheng didn't overestimate himself.

The Longevity Sword appeared in his hand, and with a single thrust, it struck first, its tip hovering directly in front of her neck.

"Your current strength is not bad, but you're still far from being able to beat me. Let's practice some more, Fourth Miss."

"snort."

Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly upon hearing this and landed in front of him.

"How are you feeling?"

"Such strong physical attributes, even stronger than those of ordinary Soul Masters. Moreover, I can feel that his bloodline foundation has also been greatly enhanced when he circulates his cultivation technique."

Feeling her transformed body, a strange light flashed in her eyes, "Besides, it seems I can also be immune to many ice and fire energy attacks."

"This is just the beginning." Su Cheng nodded.

"Although the efficiency is highest when you first take the herb, it actually uses up only a very small amount of its medicinal power."

"For the next period of time, in addition to adding the fourth soul ring, what you need to do is to use the spring water in the Yin-Yang Well to fully absorb the medicinal power that has settled in your body."

"Three months, plus the boost from the additional soul rings, is enough time for you to level up more than four times."

"The medicinal power of those two immortal herbs is enough to support you until you reach the Soul Saint stage. By then, your Martial Soul should have evolved into the Netherworld White Tiger, and with the help of the cultivation technique, you will have already comprehended the true meaning of the Martial Soul."

"In future cultivation, there will be basically no bottlenecks before becoming a god."

"Become a god?!" Zhu Zhuqing repeated in astonishment after hearing Su Cheng's words.

"That's right, becoming a god." Su Cheng glanced at her, "But those aren't things you need to consider right now. If you want to reach the peak, don't be too ambitious. Take it one step at a time."

"Thank you," she said softly, her eyes lowered.

"No need, because I'm your father."

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face darkened, and she attacked again without saying a word.

She discovered that Su Cheng had reverted to his old, annoying self, always taking pleasure in provoking her anger.

For the next period of time, apart from cultivating and teaching Zhu Zhuqing, Su Cheng spent most of his time researching drugs to conceal one's aura.

However, he discovered that even with his considerable knowledge of herbalism and medicine, as well as his research on martial spirits, and the knowledge of spirit beasts he had learned from the Blue Silver Emperor over the past year, the potions he could concoct could only conceal the effects of ordinary Title Douluo. It was almost impossible for him to achieve the effects of a divine herb like the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

However, this drug alone was clearly not enough to fool Bibi Dong.

Perhaps, given Xiao Wu's temperament, she might recklessly venture out after obtaining this herb. But even if she wanted to go, Tang Hao might still try to stop her.

Even if Xiao Wu does go in the end, there will definitely be many variables, which will be very detrimental to his plans.

"Perhaps after I absorb my fifth spirit ring and advance to Spirit King, I'll have the corresponding methods. If that doesn't work, I'll think of other ways..."

Su Cheng sighed inwardly.

For him, advancing to the Soul King level was of great significance.

The five elements will be completely harmonized, and the domain will be enhanced once again.

Moreover, he had a premonition that the Blue Silver King's spirit ring, which was formed purely by nature, was quite unique.

Once the underlying principles are roughly understood, it will undoubtedly broaden his thinking significantly, allowing his past knowledge accumulation to undergo a qualitative change.

In the future, whether it's spiritual practice or research, it will be able to reach a new level.

While Su Cheng was researching drugs, Zhu Zhuqing was not idle either.

Following Su Cheng's advice, she spent most of her time soaking in the spring water within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

While dissolving the accumulated medicinal effects in the body, it can also improve the efficiency of the Nirvana Sutra's operation, making cultivation much faster than usual.

Moreover, as she practiced her cultivation technique over the past few days, she discovered that the strength of her martial spirit had once again entered a phase of rapid improvement.

After going to Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing had already filled in a lot of information about her martial soul with Dai Mubai.

Her rapid advancement in cultivation was precisely due to this.

After consuming two immortal herbs, her martial soul foundation was further enhanced. Now, the strength of her martial soul is definitely no weaker than that of those innate full-strength soul masters.

In addition, with Su Cheng's help, after reaching level 40, she also hunted a soul beast in Sunset Forest and added a fourth soul ring of ten thousand years level to her martial soul.

With the tempering of two kinds of immortal herbs, Zhu Zhuqing's physical fitness was greatly improved. In addition, with the help of the secret technique of acupuncture with silver needles, it was not difficult for her to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhuqing quietly immersed herself in the spring water, silently cultivating.

Her soul power level has now soared to level 43, not far from level 44.

At this moment, Su Cheng's lazy voice came from the distant valley.

"Let's go, Fourth Miss, the three months are up."

He has now reached level 50 in cultivation and can add a fifth soul ring to the Longevity Sword to advance to the Soul King level at any time.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes in the spring water, her expression somewhat bewildered.

"Has it been three months already?"

The scenes of consuming the immortal herb, practicing moves, and arguing seem like they happened just yesterday. I never imagined that time would pass so quickly, and before I knew it, the agreed deadline had arrived.

During these three months, she didn't have to think about anything, didn't need to be wary of anyone, and didn't need to consider her cultivation plan or interpersonal relationships.

Everything was arranged perfectly; all she needed to do was accept it.

But today, it's all over.

"What's wrong? Don't want to leave? Why don't you come back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with me and wait for Daddy to take you flying?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had not replied, Su Cheng casually teased her.

There was still no response.

A moment later, a figure silently walked over from beside the spring.

Unlike usual, Zhu Zhuqing did not immediately react with anger or resort to violence upon hearing Su Cheng's similar remarks.

Instead, she stood silently in front of him.

Seeing the other person's expression, Su Cheng fell silent for a moment, unable to say what he had originally wanted to say.

After staring at each other for a long while, he finally spoke: "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the valley.

On the way out of Sunset Forest, Su Cheng glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was gloomy.

"What's wrong, Fourth Miss? The competition won't be long before it starts, and we're all waiting to see your performance," he said casually. "If you really can't bear to leave here, then you can stay and continue training. At worst, my Royal Fighting Team Two will give you a spot in the competition."

"You're overthinking it," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly.

Su Cheng smiled upon hearing this and said nothing more.

He then asked, "Have you noticed anything wrong with Tang San from your academy?"

"Of course I know he has a problem." Zhu Zhuqing turned around and looked over. "He has mastered some special weapon techniques, and their power is quite astonishing."

Su Cheng nodded and continued, "But you probably don't know that he possesses twin martial souls, do you?"

"Twin Martial Souls?!" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.

"That's right. He is the son of Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, and his second martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"So that's how it is..." Zhu Zhuqing looked enlightened. She had been wondering why the mere Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could have such a fast cultivation speed.

Moreover, although that Blue Silver Grass looks ordinary, its power is clearly different from that of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

"You want him to make it to the finals just because of this?" Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Su Cheng. "But even if he possesses twin martial souls, what impact will that have on you?"

"Of course not." Su Cheng chuckled. "There's nothing about Tang San that I would covet. I want them to make it to the finals because of Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu?" Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback at first, then raised her eyebrows and looked at him with suspicion. "I remember now, you two seem to have gone to the same junior academy? You and Tang San seemed to have some conflict before, could it be because of Xiao Wu?"

What nonsense are you thinking?

Su Cheng was speechless for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he finally decided to tell the truth.

"Zhu Qing, I don't want to lie to you. Xiao Wu's true identity is actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. You should know what that means, right? But she and Tang San are secretly protected by Tang Hao. If I don't find a way to restrain the others, wouldn't I be playing with fire?"

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?!"

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Zhuqing paused, her heart filled with shock and disbelief.

"A 100,000-year-old soul beast... then why is Tang San with her...?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Everyone at Shrek Academy has witnessed the way Tang San and Xiao Wu interact.

The two of them are usually so inseparable, like one big person.

Whenever Xiao Wu suffers even the slightest injury, Tang San goes berserk, acting in extremely outrageous ways.

Although she never quite liked Tang San's behavior and always remained wary of him.

But she had always harbored a certain envy for the life-and-death bond between those two.

But she never expected that Xiao Wu's true form was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Was it all an act?

Zhu Zhuqing had heard of the legend of a 100,000-year-old soul beast offering sacrifice.

Her face momentarily blankened, and she murmured, "So, Tang San has always coveted Xiao Wu's 100,000-year spirit ring?"

"No, Tang San probably doesn't know Xiao Wu's true identity yet." Su Cheng shook his head.

"Tang Hao must have figured it out. It's hard to say what he was thinking, but Tang San's mind is definitely not on the spirit rings."

"I see." Zhu Zhuqing's expression softened, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether she becomes friends or enemies with those two people in the future, she doesn't want this relationship to be fake.

"The reason I'm telling you all this is so that you'll keep your distance from Tang San and, more importantly, don't attack him casually. He has many secrets to hide, and he's backed by a peak Douluo wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, which is quite dangerous," Su Cheng said solemnly.

"You must keep everything that has happened during this time a secret as much as possible, including your improvement in cultivation. You'd better think of a suitable reason in advance. Tang Hao is not some kind-hearted person; money can sway people's hearts."

"I understand." Zhu Zhuqing is no longer an ignorant novice; she naturally understands the importance of things.

Upon learning of Tang Hao's existence, their hearts grew even more heavy.

Fortunately, her cultivation speed has always been extraordinary, and her talent is exceptional.

Although his cultivation level has improved rapidly in the past few months, considering that the fourth soul ring is at the ten-thousand-year level, it is not too difficult to find a reasonable explanation.

Soon, the two figures appeared in the outer area of ​​Sunset Forest.

"Here, have this."

Stopping near the forest exit, Su Cheng casually tossed a bottle of medicine to Zhu Zhuqing.

The pale pink liquid shone with a brilliant color in the glass bottle.

"Do you still recognize this?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing reached out and took it without saying a word, as memories of the past flooded back into her mind.

"It seems your bloodline fusion is progressing quite well, but if you ever get impatient, use this. I have a way to protect you."

Su Cheng said calmly, "Don't worry, no one will die. My situation at the time was special and had nothing to do with the medicine."

He wasn't lying; although the drug was potent and fast-acting when used to steal bloodlines, it wouldn't be fatal.

The reason why Su Cheng burned a lot of his life force in the simulated world, resulting in his lifespan being almost over, was because he used a bottle of medicine that could completely stimulate the potential of his bloodline in order to restore his cultivation in a short time and help Zhu Zhuqing absorb the soul ring.

"Let's part ways here. You go find your academy teachers, and I'm going back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the medicine bottle, and she fell silent.

"Why that look?" Su Cheng laughed. "Didn't you say before that there's no need for a reason to become stronger? Then just do what you want, enjoy the power, enjoy the freedom."

He turned and walked away, raising his arm and waving.

"Zhuqing, don't be a kite that seems free, be the wind, and don't worry about anyone."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing watched his departing figure silently, a smile appearing on her lips.

"A self-righteous man."
