Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 160 The Young Master's Condition Is Getting Worse

Then, someone else discovered something else.

"Su Cheng's spirit rings..."

What appeared beneath his feet at that moment were five black soul rings, none of which belonged to beings below the ten-thousand-year level.

"Is it because of the twin martial souls?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan asked hesitantly in a low voice.

But they had clearly seen that Su Cheng's spirit ring appeared along with the Longevity Sword.

Moreover, given his strength, there was no need for him to add a spirit ring to his second spirit in advance.

It's understandable that Tang San switched to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer ahead of schedule, since the Blue Silver Grass martial soul is a recognized useless martial soul with very low potential, but Su Cheng's sword martial soul is obviously of extremely high quality.

Ning Fengzhi was also somewhat puzzled. He didn't know that Su Cheng possessed a second martial soul, nor did he know how he obtained his five ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Turning to look at Chen Xin, she saw that he also looked bewildered, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.

Su Cheng didn't care about the audience's surprise.

After Ah Yin was separated from the Longevity Sword, he couldn't find a way to conceal the color of his soul ring in a short time, so he simply revealed it directly.

Anyway, it's not a big deal if this matter is exposed.

The underlying principles are so complex that even if you explained them, no one could learn them, and even if someone did, it wouldn't matter to them.

At this moment, he was simply staring intently at Qian Renxue opposite him, lost in thought.

"So this is the unexpected gain she was talking about..."

After Qian Renxue successfully absorbed the 100,000-year soul ring, she met with him once. At that time, she mentioned that not only had the hidden danger in her soul been temporarily resolved, but she had also gained something unexpected.

For an ordinary Soul Master, the difficulty of absorbing a 100,000-year Soul Ring with a cultivation level of 70 is undoubtedly extremely high.

It's practically impossible; daring to try is tantamount to suicide.

However, Su Cheng was not surprised that Qian Renxue was able to do this.

Although in terms of basic conditions, she did not start absorbing soul rings across age limits from a young age like in the first simulated world, and she constantly improved her spiritual power through drugs over the years.

However, she has another advantage in the real world.

That was the strange change that occurred in her soul.

This extremely special twin state, although it caused her soul condition to be somewhat unstable, it is undeniable that this unexpected occurrence undoubtedly made her mental strength grow at a rate far exceeding that of others of the same level.

The two souls coexisted, and the friction between them was caused by their different attributes, but their consciousnesses surprisingly did not generate much rejection.

In this way, as long as Qian Renxue's physical body can withstand the burden of a powerful soul, or if one of them does not perish unexpectedly, from the perspective of strength alone, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

In addition, the use of Acacia Heartburn also significantly improved her overall health.

In addition, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is far stronger than ordinary Martial Souls, the sixth Soul Ring was absorbed across time limits, and it also has the blessing of some Soul Bones from the Angel Set, so the pressure brought by the 100,000-year Soul Ring is not too difficult.

Even so, Qian Renxue's sudden move today was far beyond Su Cheng's expectations.

Judging from the current situation, Qian Renxue can probably only reveal her two twin souls at the same time when using her seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body.

Moreover, it seems that both of them possess extremely strong combat abilities and can even unleash their respective different domains.

Of course, this is just Su Cheng's speculation. The Martial Soul True Body may not be a necessary prerequisite, since his own understanding of the soul is not profound either.

"No wonder she was so confident before."

Su Cheng's expression grew increasingly solemn.

He could clearly feel that his two domains were being suppressed.

Unlike Su Cheng, Qian Renxue's dual domains are coordinated exceptionally well.

The Angelic Domain's effect is purification, which can comprehensively weaken the opponent's various abilities through the unique attributes of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, including but not limited to soul power, perception, and mental energy fluctuations. At the same time, it can also provide positive effects to one's own side.

This is a fairly standard state-type domain, but it is very strong and has special attributes.

The other dark area hidden beneath their feet was rather disgusting. It was an extremely pure restrictive area skill; although not as comprehensive as the Angelic Domain, its effects were far more pronounced.

In addition, it contains unusual mental fluctuations that have a suppressive effect on the enemy, and can significantly interfere with the opponent's mental state and thinking ability.

"It's not a big problem."

Su Cheng silently pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.

The purifying effect of the Angel Realm is actually somewhat restrained by the Five Elements Realm.

His swordsmanship is a specialized field focused on extreme offense, which, relatively speaking, ensures that he is not affected by it too much.

The only tricky thing is that shadowy dark domain, which slows down his movement speed, but the mental attacks contained within it have little effect on his mental activity.

In fact, under the strong sword intent of Su Cheng himself, most methods that affect the mind have little effect on him.

but……

Su Cheng glanced at his pale-faced teammates and sighed inwardly.

He can only protect himself, but he can hardly take care of his teammates, and it's hard to say how long they can hold on.

"Fortunately, this area seems to be somewhat indistinguishable from friend to foe, and those people on the other side seem to be having a hard time as well." Su Cheng glanced at Xie Yue and the others.

Clearly, this dark realm is different from the realm of angels.

Although the restriction effect can avoid the members of the Spirit Hall Academy team, the impact on their mental and emotional state is difficult to avoid.

Many years ago, when Qian Renxue left Tiandou City, the two had a brief exchange, and at that time he sensed that the other party's domain was somewhat special.

Now, the effects in this area have clearly been further enhanced.

As the territory expanded completely, Qian Renxue did not give Su Cheng many opportunities to dig out intelligence.

Especially when she saw the golden light gleaming in Su Cheng's eyes and the faint glow of the vertical lines on his forehead, she became even more vigilant.

The fifth spirit ring beneath his feet lit up, and the Angelic Holy Sword materialized in his hand.

Not one, but two.

The next moment, two figures attacked directly from the left and right sides.

Their figures slightly overlapped, one in front of the other, which perfectly blocked Su Cheng's dodging space. Their coordination was exquisite, and even with Su Cheng's speed, he could only take the opponent's sword move head-on.

The golden longsword struck first, slashing down from mid-air. Golden flames roared, and a scorching heat swept over, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

Su Cheng's first and third spirit rings lit up one after the other.

The longevity sword in his hand instantly expanded, then split into three, with two of them flying out from the sides and rushing straight towards the black-clad figure.

He held the sword horizontally, using a parrying stance to block the golden blade.

However, Qian Renxue's strength was clearly incomparable to those opponents Su Cheng had encountered before.

The soul power contained in the two separated longswords was insufficient to withstand the other person.

The black sword tip shifted slightly, using the force of the movement to deflect one sword shadow, then slashed down with force, shattering the other sword shadow into ripples of water.

With a thought, Su Cheng transformed the scattered water ripples into fine sword energy, which, enhanced by sword intent, rushed straight towards Qian Renxue's face.

But just then, another longsword attacked.

"Clang—"

This time, the two swords clashed without any fancy moves, and the golden flames on Qian Renxue's sword instantly surged several times over.

The next moment, Su Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he took a step back.

Since the sacred fire has the effect of dissolving soul power, he naturally wouldn't engage in a prolonged stalemate with his opponent.

The three of them ended up fighting in the spacious square in front of the Papal Palace.

The two longswords, one gold and one black, worked together with exceptional synergy. Although they were still mostly testing each other, they still put considerable pressure on Su Cheng.

Clearly, the two Qian Renxues share the same spirit ring, but their spirit skills are different, as if they have undergone some mutations.

Su Cheng did not rush to attack.

Instead, he used a less energy-consuming sword technique to defend while silently observing.

He is not yet fully aware of Qian Renxue's current situation, and if he acts blindly and fails to achieve anything, he could easily find himself in a very passive position.

The sword strike he used against Tang Hao was indeed very powerful, arguably his strongest attack at the moment, but it was clearly not something he could use lightly now.

He has not yet fully mastered the self-soul fusion technique, and it is very likely that he will be able to break free of the lock.

Moreover, that sword strike consumed an enormous amount of soul power, and even with his current enhanced cultivation level, he could only unleash it a few times.

It can be used to break through formations or crush opponents, but it is not suitable when facing opponents of similar strength.

No one else can get involved in the battle between Su Cheng and Qian Renxue.

Whether it's the sword energy swirling around Su Cheng or the occasional splashes of two-colored flames around Qian Renxue, both pose a significant threat to the other contestants.

The other members of both teams started a six-on-six battle in perfect unison.

Xie Yue and Hu Liena did not rush to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Their move was too energy-consuming and was a control-attribute skill. The arena was now covered by four powerful domains, so even if they used the Soul Fusion Skill, Enchantress, it would be difficult to unleash its full power.

Moreover, their cultivation level is higher. As long as they avoid mistakes and play it safe, eliminating the other members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team is only a matter of time.

"..."

Looking at the two sides fighting on the field, especially the battlefield between Qian Renxue and Su Cheng, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances and then looked at Bibi Dong sitting on the gilded chair in the center.

They both thought to themselves in unison, "The young master's condition seems to be getting worse."

At first, they couldn't figure out what was going on with the two Qian Renxue appearing at the same time, guessing that it might be some kind of special method, such as a self-created soul skill.

Although it's unlikely, this explanation is obviously more acceptable than the possibility of them actually becoming two people.

But seeing the two Qian Renxues working together so seamlessly, like twins, they finally let go of their last shred of hope.

After noticing the gazes of the two elders, Bibi Dong showed no unusual expression on her face, but in her heart she was much more surprised and suspicious than Kiku and Kiku.

At the same time, there was some unease and worry.

She originally thought that Qian Renxue had just encountered some problem in her cultivation, or that her talent was too high and her martial soul too strong, which created a new consciousness, but now it seems that this is not the case.

You should know that even she herself, who underwent the divine test, suffered the mental torment of the Rakshasa's divine thoughts day and night, and was constantly haunted by the shadows of decades ago, and whose emotions were always tense, had never experienced such a change.

Bibi Dong's feelings toward Qian Renxue were extremely complex.

The birth of this child was more like a permanent, indelible mark of shame for her.

She originally thought she only felt disgust towards Qian Renxue.

In fact, that's exactly how she's acted over the years.

But that dream changed some of her thoughts.

On her deathbed, struck down by the angel, she finally realized that she could never sever the bonds of kinship.

However, even if one's feelings change after waking up from the dream, the habits of many years will not change.

They continued to ignore Qian Renxue's existence.

"Hopefully, Su Cheng is aware of this situation."

Bibi Dong sighed inwardly.

She herself knew absolutely nothing about these things.

To have reached this point and become one of the top Soul Masters on the continent, it was all thanks to his powerful cultivation talent that he persevered.

As for her understanding and comprehension of martial souls and soul skills, she is not even as good as a typical peak Douluo.

On the plaza, as time passed, Su Cheng and Qian Renxue's probing of each other came to an end, and they simultaneously launched even stronger attacks.

The two Qian Renxues exchanged a glance, and their third and sixth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Third Soul Skill: Angel's Protection.

Sixth Soul Skill: Angel's Descent.

Two beams of light, one golden and one black, lit up their bodies, and surging soul power spread outwards.

At the same time, a layer of light and shadow appeared on each of his bodies, and his aura rose another level.

Su Cheng also quickly withdrew the sword shadows he had created and stopped using his third soul skill, Fractal Shadow Transformation.

The second spirit ring lit up, and the second spirit skill, Rending Wind and Thunder, which could greatly enhance the quality and sharpness of the Longevity Sword, was used.

With the added attribute bonus from his first soul skill, although he was slightly at a disadvantage for a time, he was still able to hold his own with ease.

The clash between the two intensified, and their domains gradually shrank and concentrated.

At this moment, both the other members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team and the members of the Spirit Hall Academy team breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially the former, unlike Xie Yue and others, they have already been taught a lesson by Qian Renxue's domain many times.

Although the opponent's strength in this area has increased significantly today, I still have experience, so the pressure isn't that great.

Shui Bing'er and the others had never experienced anything like this before.

The golden light was alright, although it had a strong suppressive effect and hindered the five senses.

However, with the support of Su Cheng's Five Elements Domain, their mid-range perception has not been greatly affected.

However, that shadowy figure was exceptionally terrifying, constantly putting psychological pressure on them and keeping them on edge.

It's like walking on a cliff edge, where you could fall to the bottom at any moment; it's extremely depressing.

"Rongrong, whisper," Shui Bing'er whispered, signaling the two support-type soul masters to begin using their soul skills according to the previously planned tactics.

In this battle, she and Xuewu were undoubtedly under the greatest pressure.

Two offensive-type Soul Masters stood in front, only needing to absorb as much damage as possible.

In addition to coordinating, Shui Bing'er, who is in the center, also has to use her martial soul fusion skill, Ice and Snow Drifting, to restrict Xie Yue and others, making her task extremely difficult.

After all, apart from her, no one else could possibly be a match for those Soul Kings.

Su Cheng ignored Shui Bing'er and the others' battle, his eyes flashing with golden light as he focused intently on observing Qian Renxue's soul power circulation, searching for her weaknesses.

He cannot delay any longer.

Although he had previously said that he wanted Shui Bing'er to restrain the opposing Soul King, he knew in his heart that Shui Bing'er simply couldn't do it.

During the battle between Wuhun City Academy and the first team of Tiandou Royal Academy a few days ago, he discovered that Xie Yue and Hu Liena were much stronger than he had expected.

Therefore, he doesn't actually have much time left for this battle.

He must end the battle before Shui Bing'er and the others are eliminated.

Another spirit ring lit up beneath his feet.

Fourth Soul Skill: Return to the Origin of the Eight Desolations.

By now, Su Cheng's Longevity Sword has been enhanced with three status-based soul skills.

The first soul skill, "Great Virtue Carries All Things," enhances strength and endurance; the second soul skill, "Rending Wind and Thunder," enhances the sharpness and quality of the sword blade; and the fourth soul skill, "Eight Desolations Return to Origin," enhances the explosive power of sword techniques.

He then blocked the black sword blade that came slashing from the side with a sword-holding stance, and seized the opportunity to step back slightly to avoid another angelic holy sword.

Hold the sword hilt with both hands and slowly thrust it upwards.

This sword strike was fast, yet it seemed to lift a thousand-pound weight.

In an instant, a massive sword shadow shot into the sky.

Sword Fifteen, Empty Mountain!

His sword strike was far more powerful than the one he used against the Shrek Academy team.

While the enhancement provided by the spirit rings is one aspect, deepening one's own understanding is the key.

The powerful sword strike seemed to pierce through the clouds, and golden sunlight streamed down from the azure sky.

The terrifying power of that instant caused everyone on the field to pause slightly.

The entire space was filled with the desolate feeling of the destruction of all things.

The mountains are covered in snow, the paths are obscured, there is nothing there, and all life is forbidden.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

Chen Xin, watching from the stands, was deeply moved and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Ning Fengzhi had described Su Cheng's sword technique to him before, but he had never had the chance to see it.

Of course, although he was curious, he wasn't too fixated on it.

After all, he himself was a grandmaster of swordsmanship, and all his cultivation was concentrated in one Seven Kill Sword.

In his view, Su Cheng was still young and had low cultivation. This sword strike might have some reference value, but it could only be considered a lesson from another mountain.

Moreover, he knew that Su Cheng's approach was different from his own.

His swordsmanship is about relentlessly pursuing the ultimate in attack power and destructive force.

Su Cheng, on the other hand, pursued a greater balance, and the sword techniques he comprehended were extremely complex and diverse.

It is difficult to judge which one is better or worse, but it is extremely difficult to verify and learn from each other.

But after seeing this sword strike, he realized that he had been too one-sided.

This sword strike is by no means a simple sword of annihilation.

There is a deeper truth behind it, but he cannot fully understand it at the moment.

No, perhaps it wasn't just him; even Su Cheng himself might not have fully grasped the true meaning of it.

"Cheng'er, how exactly did you manage to comprehend such a sword technique...?"

The next chapter will be later, and I'll correct any typos then.
