Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 165 Isn't having me enough?

The members of the Spirit Hall are mainly divided into three parts.

At the core are the elders residing in Wuhun City. Their main activities take place in the Elder Hall and the Pope's Hall, where they wield considerable real power and can sometimes even veto the Pope's proposals.

These people not only wield immense power, but they are also extremely strong. Normally, one cannot serve as an elder of the Spirit Hall unless their cultivation level has reached the Title Douluo level.

The second part consists of the core members who are assigned to the main halls and sub-halls of the Martial Soul Sect in various regions.

For example, the Martial Spirit Temple in the capital of the two great empires is a typical example.

Take Salas, the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City, for example. Although his cultivation level is only Soul Douluo, he holds a very high position in the Spirit Hall system. Even in Spirit City, he has influence, and his actual power is not necessarily lower than that of an ordinary elder.

As for members at the level of the Spirit Branch Hall, they basically have no contact with Spirit City; they recruit all their members locally. Even some hall masters of sub-halls or branch halls never have the chance to visit Spirit City even once in their entire lives.

The third part of Wuhun City consists of the core members of the younger generation.

These people also live in Wuhun City, and their main area of ​​activity is the Wuhun Hall Academy located in the back mountain of Wuhun City, which is somewhat similar to the significance of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although these people do not yet have much real power, they are the core force of the new generation, with impeccable backgrounds and a future where they can at least become the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Sub-Hall.

Now that Su Cheng has joined the Spirit Hall, he belongs to this group of members.

However, compared to Hu Liena and others, he was somewhat different, with a more complex identity.

First of all, they come from different backgrounds. After all, he was not trained by the Spirit Hall, so there is a certain distance between them in terms of closeness.

However, his talent was too great, and his performance in the Soul Master Competition was obvious to everyone. No one dared to underestimate him because of his status.

Most importantly, the secret technique he contributed was extremely valuable.

From Soul Master to Soul Saint, he can continuously help Soul Masters of the corresponding level absorb Soul Rings across age limits. It is no exaggeration to call him the founder of the Spirit Hall's system for cultivating young Soul Masters.

In the few days since joining the Spirit Hall, Su Cheng has done nothing but make deals with Bibi Dong.

The main purpose was to meet with the elders and exchange secret techniques of acupuncture with silver needles with many titled Douluo, and then compile them into a book.

The Spirit Hall's current stance on this secret technique is to keep it a secret for now, using it primarily for training their own spirit masters, and not rushing to release it.

Of course, all the credit for this achievement belongs to Su Cheng himself.

If it is to be publicly released in the future, it will be published gradually, and Su Cheng's name will be credited.

Everyone understood that this would be a powerful tool for the Spirit Hall to recruit talent, and it must be used wisely, and should not be announced all at once.

For the Spirit Hall, the value of this secret technique is even more important than Su Cheng's current talent and strength.

As for Qian Renxue, Su Cheng has not yet met with her privately.

He hadn't figured out how to face the other person.

Qian Renxue's emotions seem somewhat unhealthy now, which is not a good sign.

Whether it was their first meeting years ago with Ning Rongrong or their encounter with Zhu Zhuqing just two days ago, her killing intent was overwhelming. Even without understanding the full story, her first instinct was to strike.

Especially the battle a few days ago, it was clearly not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a long-planned scheme. He was cunning and ruthless.

Most importantly, on the surface, he didn't actually have much of a relationship with Zhu Zhuqing.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhu Zhuqing.

Whether it's Ning Rongrong, A Yin, or Feng Qingyu who has ever appeared in her life, it's safe to say that any man she notices will reveal a chilling murderous intent.

To start planning something just out of some intuition—that possessiveness is truly terrifying.

Of course, Su Cheng could be justified in his defense of others, but he had no intention of defending himself in Zhu Zhuqing's case; the root of the problem lay with him.

From Qian Renxue's perspective, this is perfectly normal; given her status, she doesn't need to accommodate anyone.

This has nothing to do with strength or weakness; it's just her personality, and her attitude towards relationships.

Su Cheng also believed that no matter what happened, Qian Renxue would never betray him.

This is the trust built up over decades of living together, both in the virtual and real worlds, and through countless trials and tribulations.

He was even more certain of this after learning that the other person also remembered everything that happened in the simulation.

But just because she can indulge herself doesn't mean she's willing to accept others.

Even if their roles were reversed, Su Cheng himself couldn't accept it.

But Zhu Zhuqing was also different for him.

After decades of living together in the simulated world, she was his only friend in that world, and their only support.

Even after returning to reality, those memories, once settled, still left a very heavy mark on Su Cheng's heart.

Su Cheng was quite surprised by Qian Daoliu's sudden summons.

This Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, despite his immense strength and high status, is usually remarkably low-key.

Even considering his position in the first simulation and his status as Qian Renxue's teacher, the number of times he actually met Qian Daoliu was very few.

He never expected that he would be valued to the point of meeting someone so much after only a few days of joining the Spirit Hall.

Although he had some doubts, he was not worried.

This Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall has an exceptionally high moral standard, making him a unique figure in the Douluo Continent. There's no need to worry about any accidents happening when you meet him.

"Junior Su Cheng greets the Grand Elder."

Looking at the tall, middle-aged man in front of him, dressed simply with long black hair, Su Cheng bowed respectfully.

"Su Cheng, you're very good."

Qian Daoliu quietly observed Su Cheng with gentle eyes.

Although it contained a scrutinizing tone, it was not offensive, perhaps due to his calm and serene demeanor.

"I've been watching your battle with Xiaoxue. Your talent is exceptional, far surpassing Xiaoxue's. Given time, becoming a Title Douluo is only a matter of time. Reaching my level is not impossible."

"You flatter me, Your Excellency."

"That's not the case," Qian Daoliu said gently, shaking his head. "I never exaggerate. In you, I see a higher level of possibility."

On that day's decisive battle, everyone was amazed by Su Cheng's terrifying combat power, his five spirit rings that exceeded common sense, and his talent and aptitude for twin martial spirits.

Only he and Chen Xin were moved by the sword's profound meaning, which contained an aura of annihilation.

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng was momentarily speechless, secretly wondering, "Is this why you're looking for me? That can't be, it's not like Qian Daoliu."

No matter how strong he is, he is at most a Soul King, and he is still far from being able to make Qian Daoliu eager to hunt him down.

"But the reason I wanted to see you is actually because of something else." At this moment, Qian Daoliu spoke again, "I've read your theory about absorbing spirit rings and seen your self-created spirit skills. I've found that you're a very thoughtful child."

Su Cheng looked at the other person quietly, waiting for them to continue.

"I know you and Xiaoxue have a good relationship. I don't interfere too much in your young people's affairs. But you've seen Xiaoxue's current state, do you have any thoughts on that?"

Su Cheng suddenly realized.

That makes sense. Only something concerning Qian Renxue could stir up Qian Daoliu's emotions.

"I do have some ideas," he said thoughtfully.

"Xiaoxue's childhood was probably not good. But she has a strong personality and high talent, which led to some special circumstances."

Upon hearing his address to Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu's expression turned strange for a moment before returning to normal, and he continued to listen quietly to his explanation.

"If she lacked talent, she would probably have been consumed by the darkness in her heart when she was young, and her personality would have changed directly at that time. But because she was too talented and too strong-willed, the dark side gradually grew and accumulated, and now, this situation of soul split has been formed."

"..." Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

He spoke with a hoarse voice, "I see..."

His tone was somewhat apologetic.

He knew perfectly well why Qian Renxue had accumulated so many shadows in her heart during her childhood.

"Then these two souls..." Qian Daoliu's tone was slightly hesitant.

That dark Qian Renxue clearly went against the inherited will of the angel race.

Su Cheng glanced at him and instantly sensed some of his thoughts.

He frowned and said coldly, "Great Elder, if I may be so bold, these two are both your granddaughters, essentially no different. The reason a second soul appeared is not your fault, but your own, as the elder."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu was taken aback at first, then gave a wry smile, "You're right, I was wrong."

Seeing this, Su Cheng's expression softened, and the scene became quiet for a moment.

If it were any other peerless expert, he certainly wouldn't have said such a question directly, but with Qian Daoliu, there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Is there any way to remedy this? I think her current state may not be a good thing in the long run."

"It may not be a good thing, nor may it be a bad thing," Su Cheng said slowly, pondering. "This state does indeed have some hidden dangers. The key is whether it can be stabilized. If it can be stabilized, her future potential will surpass that of all other Soul Masters in the world."

Qian Daoliu looked surprised upon hearing this.

Instead of showing disdain or mockery for Su Cheng's boastful words despite his mere Soul King cultivation, they patiently pressed for clarification: "How to stabilize it?"

"I don't have a clue yet; I need some time to figure it out."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Alright."

He said this not because he trusted Su Cheng or thought he was far more intelligent than ordinary people.

However, apart from Su Cheng, everyone else is completely clueless. On the other hand, Su Cheng can at least give a general idea, which is already extremely commendable.

"Su Cheng, Xiaoxue's childhood was indeed not happy. I hope you can help her resolve her inner conflicts." Qian Daoliu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to add something, but in the end he remained silent.

Su Cheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

The next day, Su Cheng was about to leave for the Elders' Hall meeting room when he was blocked by a figure.

Recently, because he has been frequently discussing things with the elders, he has not been living in Wuhun City for the time being, but has instead been staying in a room in the Elder Hall.

It can be said that they received extremely high regard and respect.

"Teacher, why haven't you come to see me since we arrived at the Spirit Hall?"

"Xiaoxue?" Su Cheng paused upon seeing the newcomer. He asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm asking you why you're avoiding me." Qian Renxue waved her hand to close the door, raised her head and chest, her delicate eyebrows raised high, and her phoenix eyes stared intently at him.

"I've been busy lately, and the elders of the Spirit Hall have been pressuring me, so I haven't been able to see you."

"You're lying." Qian Renxue's voice softened, her teeth biting her lip. "You're just avoiding me."

"..."

Seeing Su Cheng fall silent, Qian Renxue took two more steps forward.

"You did this for that little girl from the Star Luo Empire?"

"Because I'm going to kill her, you can't bear to do it?"

"You were the one who helped her upgrade her martial spirit."

"What is your relationship with her that you would give her a 100,000-year-old soul bone?"

"Teacher, what use is she to you?"

"She's just a Soul King; she can't even withstand one of my attacks."

"I have talent and strength. I can be the sharpest sword in your hand. You won't need her at all."

"Xiaoxue, this isn't a matter of strength." Su Cheng frowned, feeling a bit of a headache.

I'm increasingly convinced that Qian Renxue's current views are somewhat problematic.

"you--"

However, before he could finish speaking, a tall figure pounced on him, crashing into his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist.

Qian Renxue was extremely fast, and Su Cheng was caught off guard and had to take two steps back to steady himself.

Her voluptuous body instantly pressed tightly against his chest, and a faint fragrance filled her nostrils.

Qian Renxue, now in her early twenties, has fully developed her figure.

Under such close and intimate contact, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel his heart race.

She hugged Su Cheng tightly, looked up at him, and seemed to plead in her eyes.

"From now on, let's stay in the Spirit Hall and not go anywhere else, okay?"

The gentle voice reached his ears, causing Su Cheng's heart to tremble.

The look in the other person's eyes at that moment was so intense that he couldn't handle it at all.

The words I wanted to say suddenly became hard to utter.

Her fair face moved closer, and she murmured softly, "Teacher, you really don't need to pay any attention to them."

Her bright red lips parted slightly, releasing a slightly moist fragrance.

"I'm willing to die for you, can they do that? Whatever you want, I'm willing to do."

As she spoke, her red lips slowly moved toward his cheek.

Su Cheng could only tilt his head back slightly to avoid the other person's gaze.

If this continues, he will no longer be able to say anything he wants to say.

However, the next moment, another figure suddenly appeared behind him, also reaching out to hug his lower back.

"Su Cheng, aren't we enough for you? Why are you so greedy?"

Whispers echoed in his ears, and a few strands of hair brushed against his neck, making him feel a little itchy.
