Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 21 Su Cheng's Third Soul Ring (Please continue reading)

"Can't we have two teachers?" Hu Liena asked timidly. "Mr. Su often comes to the academy to teach us."

As Bibi Dong's personal disciple and only disciple, Hu Liena had a closer relationship with Bibi Dong than that of a mother and daughter, and naturally knew the true situation of Qian Renxue.

She was well aware of the other person's extremely high status in the Spirit Hall, and knew even more how terrifying this older sister's talent was, so she always held her in great awe.

Although Qian Renxue's smile was strangely sweet at this moment, Hu Liena instinctively sensed that the other party was already very displeased.

In fact, over the years, although the two had a good relationship, she had almost never seen Qian Renxue smile.

"These are two different things and shouldn't be confused." Qian Renxue shook her head. "If the Pope finds out you call him 'teacher,' he'll be angry."

Hu Liena instinctively wanted to retort, but her keen intuition led her to wisely keep her mouth shut, and she walked away somewhat sullenly.

Su Cheng paid no attention to the conversation between the two girls.

Given Hu Liena's talent and age, she wasn't even qualified to be his pawn.

Moreover, this girl is actually very similar to Bibi Dong in some ways; she is also a top-tier romantic genius, and most people simply cannot handle her.

If you can't become her beloved, then in her eyes you're just a tool.

Su Cheng never even considered putting any effort into her.

Hu Liena came to him today because of a promise he made to Bibi Dong.

Su Cheng personally guides the younger generation of the Spirit Hall's core members when they acquire spirit rings, helping them determine the most suitable age limit for the spirit rings.

In the past, the upper limit of the Soul Ring age for Soul Masters on the mainland was something that a few exceptionally talented individuals could surpass.

While his theory has raised the bar again, the data is still conservative for safety reasons, and there will be some fluctuations depending on individual constitution.

"You've reached level 20?"

Seeing Hu Liena nod, Su Cheng was not surprised. With her level 9 innate soul power and the fact that she grew up in the Spirit Hall Academy, her cultivation speed of reaching level 20 at the age of nine was not unexpected.

So he prepared to get up and go over to check the resilience of her meridians and the strength of her bones and flesh.

At this moment, Qian Renxue suddenly spoke up to stop her, saying, "Wait a minute."

He took Hu Liena's fair hand and said, "Your disciple can do it for me."

"That's fine too."

Su Cheng paused for a moment, then sat back down and casually flipped through the Soul Beast Encyclopedia next to him.

To accurately determine the optimal absorption period for a spirit ring, a series of procedures are required, including full-body bone palpation and acupuncture with silver needles. The whole process is indeed quite troublesome, and he had no interest in taking liberties with a little girl.

Although the other person is indeed well-developed, their face is just too tender.

Hu Liena glanced at Qian Renxue, who was holding her hand, and then stole a look at Su Cheng, who was looking down at a book. She didn't dare to say anything.

Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, her smile becoming much more natural. "Come with me, Nana. I estimate you can absorb at least one second spirit ring that's over 1200 years old, which will make you much stronger than I was back then."

He then led her toward the door.

"etc."

The door had just opened when Su Cheng's voice suddenly came from behind.

Qian Renxue frowned, glanced at Hu Liena who was standing obediently beside her, and then calmly turned her head to look at her.

Su Cheng continued flipping through his book, but said, "Nana, your choice of spirit rings is decided by His Holiness the Pope, so I won't say anything. But if you choose a spirit beast with charm-type abilities, it won't matter if the spirit ring's lifespan is extended by thirty to fifty years."

Her first spirit ring was obtained by absorbing across time limits using the theory Su Cheng had published, and her second spirit ring was already far beyond the limit.

Before absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring, a soul master will not experience a strong mental shock.

Nowadays, the younger generation of the Spirit Hall are all taking medicine to improve their mental strength day by day in order to lay a foundation for the future. The bottleneck before the third spirit ring is only in physical strength.

Su Cheng has done a lot of research on martial souls and soul beasts over the years. He knows that the energy attached to the soul rings of charm-type soul beasts is relatively low, and the age limit that can be selected when absorbing them can be increased.

"Okay. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Su."

After the two left, Su Cheng put away the Soul Beast Compendium in his hand, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and looked thoughtful.

"With this latest one, I've now collected data on seven types of spirit beast spirit rings. Once I absorb my third spirit ring, I can begin researching and developing spirit ring attributes."

It has to be said that having the Spirit Hall as a backer is indeed quite comfortable.

Unlike the three sects above, the Spirit Hall is not a family-based successor. Whether it is the next generation it cultivates or the strong individuals it recruits, they all have their own unique characteristics, and there are many types of spirits.

This provided him with a considerable amount of material and data.

The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. Although Su Cheng's talent points are all in the path of medicine, with the deepening of his research over the years, his talent and comprehension in the study of martial souls are also improving rapidly.

Although his current physical attributes are lacking, all of this is by no means a waste of time. Once the simulation ends and he returns to reality, all these experiences and achievements will be invaluable assets, even more important than the twin martial souls rewarded by the mission itself.

Two hours later, the door was reopened, and this time only Qian Renxue returned.

"Have all tests been completed?"

"The test is done, 1300 years." She looked at Su Cheng pitifully, "I'm so lucky to get such a high-age second spirit ring, it's so much better than what I had back then."

"Stop pretending, what good is a thousand-year soul ring?" Su Cheng said without looking up.

Given Qian Renxue's ambition, she wouldn't care about the strength of Hu Liena's second spirit ring at all; the talent gap between the two was too great.

The girl pursed her lips upon hearing this and said nothing more.

"We'll talk about your spirit rings later. Let's go check on the spirit beast we prepared for me first. I need to do an experiment."

When these core members of the Spirit Hall absorb low-level spirit rings, they don't need to hunt the beasts themselves; there are always people specifically assigned to capture the spirit beasts and prepare them in advance.

"What kind of soul beast do you want to absorb?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat curious.

As far as she knew, Su Cheng did not look for a specific target when absorbing the first two spirit rings, but directly attacked those with similar lifespans.

"A five-thousand-year-old cloud-patterned bronze-horned rhinoceros," Su Cheng said as he walked out. "To find a similar soul beast, I specifically asked Chrysanthemum Douluo to take action."

"Is there anything special about it?"

"It itself is nothing special, but the kind of soul beasts I'm talking about are all descendants of the Mountain Dragon King clan, which are extremely rare and possess a certain degree of extreme earth attribute."

With Su Cheng's current physical aptitude, he could actually absorb a higher-age spirit ring, but such spirit beasts are not easy to find.

Adult mountain dragons transform into mountain veins, which is extremely rare. Naturally, the number of their bloodline descendants is far less than that of the other major dragon clans.

Moreover, given its powerful combat strength and exceptional talent, the energy contained in its spirit rings is likely far greater than that of ordinary spirit beasts, so five thousand years would actually be enough.

There will be no padding; the plot and romance will progress steadily without slowing down. Please read during the new book period and don't wait for it to finish. Thank you all for your monthly tickets and recommendations.
