Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 143 Whispering Wind

"Stop hiding, come out."

"Your Holiness is quite generous, revealing the secret of twin martial souls so casually."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Renxue gracefully emerged from the shadows outside the door.

"You're getting bolder and bolder."

Bibi Dong's expression darkened slightly as she spoke calmly.

His expression remained calm, showing no sign of anger.

She's gotten used to his behavior and can't be bothered to argue with him anymore.

Nobody will bother arguing with a lunatic.

Besides, this mentally ill person is his own daughter.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I just happened to be passing by and heard that a low-level Soul Master was swindling people with an Elder's Token and even got a personal audience with the Pope, so I was a little curious and came to take a look."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly.

She doesn't seem to harbor much hostility towards Bibi Dong now.

Hatred often stems from caring.

The more you care, the easier it is to develop various emotions.

With her main personality currently dormant, she doesn't actually have much of a feeling for Bibi Dong.

Of course, in her eyes, Bibi Dong was also quite ill.

"I never imagined that the person holding the Elder's token would be this 'Master.' Can you guess who made this Papal decree?" Qian Renxue said with a playful tone.

"That's none of my business."

Qian Renxue was just saying it casually, and seeing that Bibi Dong didn't care, she changed the subject.

"Looks like you also received information about that Soul Master from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team?"

She was unaware that Bibi Dong also possessed a small portion of memories from another world.

During her last visit to Tiandou City, she exchanged some information with Su Cheng. Judging from Bibi Dong's behavior over the years, there was nothing particularly unusual about her.

They never did anything like promoting the secret technique of adding spirit rings to the direct descendants of the Spirit Hall or investigating Su Cheng's intelligence.

Based on the performances of Dugu Bo, Chen Xin, and others, the two concluded that Bibi Dong's situation was probably similar.

There may be some subconscious impressions, but they are not specific.

It's normal to have some vague impressions. Ordinary people also have residual memories from their dreams, and they may occasionally have a sense of déjà vu when encountering certain situations. It's nothing to worry about.

"It seems you have some issues with Su Cheng because of me. You told Yu Xiaogang how to cultivate twin martial souls so you could help Tang San fight Su Cheng in the arena?"

Bibi Dong glanced at her indifferently, neither admitting nor denying it.

That statement is only half true.

Bibi Dong revealed the cultivation method for twin martial souls because she wanted Yu Xiaogang's disciple to have a showdown with Su Cheng, but it wasn't aimed at Qian Renxue.

She was just not convinced.

Over the years, Su Cheng's words in her dreams have always resonated in her heart.

Even today, Bibi Dong still harbors some illusions, hoping to see Yu Xiaogang prove himself.

She knew that Su Cheng looked down on Yu Xiaogang.

She herself didn't know what her mindset was, but she wanted to give Yu Xiaogang another chance.

Perhaps this is also an opportunity for myself.

"Your Holiness, would you like to make a bet with me?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

"After Yu Xiaogang goes back, he will definitely take this time to train his disciple. With his disciple's cultivation level, he should be able to advance to level 40 before the finals."

"If we add four soul rings to his second martial soul, his cultivation level, even if it doesn't reach the Soul King level, will probably be close."

"Why don't we see how he and Su Cheng perform in the finals? If Su Cheng loses, I won't stop your disciple from becoming a saintess or inheriting the Papal Palace in the future. On the contrary, I will do my best to help her."

"But if Su Cheng wins, you will have to relinquish the power of the Elders' Hall."

Upon hearing the bet, Bibi Dong didn't respond immediately, but instead asked pointedly, "You trust him that much?"

Qian Renxue sensed that the other person's expression was a little strange, but she didn't pay attention to it, assuming that she was unaware of the relationship between Su Cheng and herself.

The purpose of making this bet was to lower her guard, making it easier to attack that 100,000-year-old soul beast later.

He countered, "What, don't you trust that 'master's' judgment and abilities?"

The tone implied sarcasm.

Bibi Dong scrutinized Qian Renxue for a moment before saying, "I can bet with you, but not in the finals. Even if Yu Xiaogang's disciple has truly achieved something, it won't be effective so quickly."

Qian Renxue was taken aback. "This doesn't sound like something you would say."

People always change.

"How old are you this year?"

In the team rest area of ​​the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Su Cheng looked at Feng Qingyu beside him and asked.

"She'll be thirteen in two months."

The girl glanced at the other members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team who were gathered in twos and threes in the distance, and answered casually.

Her long silver hair shimmered with a captivating luster under the sunlight, making her appear even more pure and natural.

Su Cheng was somewhat surprised.

This child is incredibly talented. At less than thirteen years old, he's a Soul Master, which puts him among the most outstanding of his peers.

"You were born with full soul power?"

"Yes." The girl turned back to look at Su Cheng. "Your aura is very special."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Cheng asked, somewhat surprised.

"I can't quite put my finger on it." Feng Qingyu's eyes were filled with doubt. "You seem different from ordinary Soul Masters; you appear cleaner and more natural."

Su Cheng's expression froze.

So perceptive?

He understood what Feng Qingyu meant.

Su Cheng is indeed very different from ordinary Soul Masters now.

The evolved Nirvana Sutra further enhances the purification of bloodline martial souls, profoundly affecting even the soul.

Moreover, since he comprehended the secret method of condensing soul rings in the Blue Silver Grass Forest, the soul impurities related to soul beasts on the soul rings have been removed.

With the Five Elements now perfectly balanced, his soul power is fundamentally different from that of traditional soul masters.

Su Cheng didn't continue the discussion on this topic, but instead asked, "I've watched a few of your Shenfeng Academy's matches before, but I haven't seen you play."

"Yes, I was originally a substitute and didn't need to play. This time, I asked to play."

The wind whispered in a light and cheerful tone.

"That fool Feng Xiaotian doesn't understand anything, yet he still thinks he has a chance to win."

"I've watched your college's matches. Whether I play or not, we're bound to lose if you play. Even if you don't participate, I can still win, so it doesn't matter at all."

"I mainly want to experience the swordsmanship you used before, just in case I'm lucky enough to catch you in a competition."

At this point, she sighed, "Who knew that although you went up there, you didn't use that sword technique, and you even let Feng Xiaotian do some acrobatics, which exhausted me to death."

"……acrobatics?"

"His self-created soul skill looks really stupid. The teachers at the academy have told him not to practice those things, but he just won't listen."

"..." Upon hearing these words, Su Cheng was speechless.

"Hey, your sister has a crush on you."

Feng Qingyu suddenly spoke up, and gestured with her eyes in Ning Rongrong's direction.

Su Cheng's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but he looked at Feng Qingyu with a strange gaze, "How old are you? What nonsense are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's mainly because the way she looked at me was weird." Feng Qingyu casually picked up some fruit from the table and started eating, speaking in a muffled tone, "The reason for that is obviously because of you."

"Your senses are really sharp."

Su Cheng smiled, not paying attention to what she said, but marveling at her extraordinary talent.

To be able to glean so much information from a first meeting without any prior knowledge of the situation is a quality far more valuable than external factors like martial spirit or innate soul power level.

This is more like an inherent quality, like a talent such as "a genius in medicine" or "a genius in swordsmanship".

"No wonder you chose the path of a support-type Soul Master."

Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

He was initially puzzled, thinking that this kind of shadow martial soul should have many other directions for development.

In fact, the development path of a Soul Master's Martial Soul is not fixed; it's only a matter of whether it's suitable or not.

Taking Blue Silver Grass as an example, it can also be developed into a strong attack type Soul Master or a support type Soul Master, but the subsequent effects are hard to say.

Ultimately, the choice depends on the individual Soul Master's understanding of their own Martial Soul.

There are few support-type Soul Masters in the world, mainly because most Soul Masters prefer to pursue power.

Generally, only special martial souls like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or food-type martial souls like Oscar, whose future development direction is not easy to change, or whose cost-effectiveness of taking the support route is too high, will always develop towards the direction of support-type soul masters.

"You're wrong about that." Feng Qingyu swallowed the fruit in her mouth, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Being a support-type Soul Master is because that type of Soul Master is the easiest to get by."

"A 'hun'?" Su Cheng's expression faltered slightly. "What does 'hun' mean?"

Could it mean what I'm thinking...?

"Of course, I'm just wasting my time." Feng Qingyu rolled her eyes.

"My grandpa is so annoying, he keeps making me practice this and that all the time. If I become a control-type Soul Master, wouldn't I have to use both my hands and my brain? A support-type Soul Master is completely different..."

As she spoke, Feng Qingyu sat up straight excitedly and looked at Su Cheng.

She stretched out her delicate fingers and began to list the advantages of support-type Soul Masters.

"First and foremost, it's a team battle. If we lose, it's definitely not my fault. Anyway, I did my best. It's just that the people in charge of the attack were too bad. Look at Feng Xiaotian today, he's a perfect example."

"And there's no danger at all; everyone will be protecting me. I'll only get my turn after they've all been taken down."

"The most important thing is that it doesn't require much effort. If it's just me, I can just admit defeat. You can't expect a Soul Master without any offensive means to turn the tide, can you?"

"Even so, they still have to thank me. How comfortable is that?"

Su Cheng stared blankly at the other person, not knowing what to say for a moment.

From the perspective of an ordinary Soul Master, it seems to make a lot of sense. Moreover, she is the granddaughter of the Dean of Shenfeng Academy, so she won't lack bodyguards after becoming a support-type Soul Master.

"You really are a fucking genius..." Su Cheng muttered, "So this is how you convinced your elders?"

Most parents wouldn't agree to a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power who possesses a Shadow Martial Soul choosing to add auxiliary abilities.

"I'm not stupid, of course I wouldn't tell them that." Feng Qingyu glanced at Su Cheng with a strange expression.

"But I'm the only one in the Shadow Martial Soul family who has awakened it, and they can't guide me. It's not difficult to persuade them."

"Besides, support-type Soul Masters can switch to another class later. Once I level up, wouldn't it be great if the early support-type Soul Skills could buff me? After all, the Soul Skills at lower levels are just for transition."

"I'm not like that fool Feng Xiaotian, who painstakingly practiced some self-created soul skill from before he even reached level 40. He was just bored and had nothing better to do."

Su Cheng nodded silently without saying a word.

"Captain, from now on I'm following you. You absolutely have to protect me. If all else fails, I can call you 'brother'!"

"...Don't say those useless things." Su Cheng pinched the space between his eyebrows with his fingers, feeling that he had made a mistake in his initial judgment.

The child is pure and beautiful, and looks completely harmless.

In reality, he's not that introverted, and he's quite intelligent.

"What does it mean to follow me?"

Feng Qingyu, however, looked serious. "I can sense that you're very strong, and you don't seem to have any ill intentions towards me. You're not going to disappear after this Soul Master Competition, are you? Don't you need to go back to the academy?"

"this……"

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment.

This child's talent is indeed extraordinary, and her thinking is very clear. It is evident that her understanding of Soul Masters is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Most importantly, the uniqueness of her martial soul and her keen senses greatly aided her research.

The problem is that the other party's identity is extraordinary.

Moreover, after I finish this Soul Master Competition, I will be going to the Spirit Hall. It's impossible for Feng Qingyu to join the Spirit Hall with me, right?

Even if she had this idea herself, Kamikaze Academy would never allow it.

"You don't want to?"

Seeing his hesitation, Feng Qingyu also frowned.

"That's true. I can tell at a glance that you're the kind of person who's very independent and definitely wouldn't want to have a burden on you. Right now, I'm of some use to you, but it's hard to say how long that value will last."

"You don't have to be so direct, do you?" Su Cheng sighed upon hearing this.

He wasn't angry; on the contrary, he really liked the other person's straightforward style.

Feng Qingyu is weaker than him in every way and poses no threat. This straightforward approach makes communication easier.

"Am I wrong?"

"I don't think you're a burden..." Su Cheng said thoughtfully.

"But after this competition, I definitely won't be continuing my studies at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It wouldn't make sense for you to come with me; would the Divine Wind Academy allow you to run around like that?"

Actually, if given the opportunity, it wouldn't be a bad idea to teach Feng Qingyu a lesson.

Besides the child's unique talent and intelligence, the other party's martial soul is also of extraordinary value.

There are not many Soul Masters who possess their own Martial Soul, and he has never seen anyone with innate full Soul Power.

"Not allowed."

"..."

"But I can find a chance to sneak out on my own. Well, you'll have to meet me. I'm just a weak support-type Soul Master, I don't want to go out there and die."

"..."

"You wouldn't refuse, would you? The way you look at me clearly shows you think I'm very useful. So what? It's just a small Kamikaze Academy, and with my cooperation, it's not difficult."

"Hiss... Aren't you afraid I'll betray you? And what makes you think I can protect you? We've never met before, have we?"

Su Cheng was somewhat taken aback as he watched the other party proceed with their plans without a care in the world.

"Intuition. My gut feeling is very accurate; you can't fool most people."

"You're really something. Let me think about it first."

"Alright, then you'd better think it over soon. The competition isn't going to last long, I'll stick with you and try to win the championship first."

Feng Qingyu's words were certainly not just casual remarks.

Her martial spirit is unique, and her senses are indeed extremely sharp.

In her opinion, Su Cheng's strength might not be as good as her grandfather, who was a Soul Douluo-level, but he wouldn't be much weaker; at least he could rival a Soul Saint.

But how old is Su Cheng now?

In her view, this was the perfect opportunity to curry favor with powerful figures.

Moreover, Su Cheng possessed an extremely natural aura, a very unique aura.

She had an extremely clear intuition that as long as she could spend some time with Su Cheng, even if she didn't learn anything from him, it would greatly help her future growth.

"Who else are you planning to recruit? By the way, is the Spirit Hall team really that strong? Aren't you enough on your own?" Feng Qingyu asked thoughtfully as the topic of the competition came up.

"Very strong." Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, the image of Qian Renxue flashing through his mind.

"One-on-one is no problem, but I'm not sure I can handle seven opponents at once. As for who to recruit, we'll have to wait until after I finish the next few matches."
