Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 26 Qian Renxue's Counterattack

Su Cheng was walking towards the Elder Hall when suddenly a golden light flashed from the side, and a figure pounced on him.

The two were about to collide.

Su Cheng pointed his finger, striking the other person's smooth forehead.

What are you doing?

Looking at the blonde girl who was already as tall as his chest, he looked helpless.

"Teacher, you don't need to do this. My grandfather said that I don't need to worry about the ninth spirit ring."

The girl looked up at Su Cheng, her eyes, which were already showing signs of stunning beauty, sparkling like stars.

"Who's worried about your ninth spirit ring?" Su Cheng said calmly.

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at his words, subtly telling him not to be stubborn, "I saw it all at Grandpa's."

"You only need one ninth spirit ring for your martial soul, right?"

"So that means..." Qian Renxue realized, "I can start absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring at level 80?"

She has no doubt that with the teacher's help, she will be able to achieve this in the future.

"I believe that for a Soul Master, the Martial Soul True Body is more important than the Eighth Soul Skill."

"True Martial Soul Form..."

Qian Renxue first repeated it in a low voice, then realized what she meant.

His eyes widened, and he looked at Su Cheng with disbelief in his eyes.

"Impossible... I can't do it..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Su Cheng patted her shoulder, "Go and advance to the Soul Master level first. You don't need to worry about other things."

He didn't know what Qian Daoliu would do if he had the chance to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring at level 70, or whether he had any channels to obtain the soul ring.

But it's always better to be prepared.

"I'm not young anymore," Qian Renxue said with dissatisfaction. "You're not much older than me."

"As long as he's older than you."

Su Cheng casually agreed, but continued walking towards the back of the mountain.

Qian Renxue snorted and followed.

"Teacher, what exactly is your martial soul?"

"What do you think?"

Hearing his question, the girl shared her earlier guess: "Is it related to the attributes that spirit rings add to a spirit? Spirit masters' spirits also have different attributes. It seems that the malignant mutation of a spirit is due to a change in its inherent attributes."

Su Cheng nodded. "You have some comprehension; at least you didn't read the books for nothing."

Given the limited knowledge and perspective of this dimension, it's already quite impressive that they could come up with this much.

The entanglement of attributes within a martial soul is far more complex than it appears.

Even though Su Cheng understood the principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, and had already developed certain ideas and inspirations, it took him several years of accumulation to put them into practice.

He didn't hold back and then gave a general explanation of the theories on martial soul mutation and secondary awakening.

Qian Renxue fell silent after hearing this.

Over the years, under Su Cheng's guidance, she has read many books, but she believes she will never have Su Cheng's spirituality.

This teacher always manages to find unconventional paths and discover ways that others cannot imagine.

Often, the most crucial and difficult step is that initial flash of inspiration.

"Learning without thinking is futile; thinking without learning is dangerous." Seeing Qian Renxue deep in thought, Su Cheng continued.

"I told you to read more books before so that you could broaden your horizons."

"You are intelligent, but you lack sufficient knowledge. Blindly thinking is like building a tower on sand; the more fantastical ideas you have, the easier it is to go astray."

"Now that you've read enough books, you should think more, otherwise that knowledge will only imprison your spirit."

"You'll figure it out yourself eventually."

"..."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the back mountain of the Spirit Hall again and then entered a dark dungeon.

There was no one else in the dungeon at this time, only burning torches stuck in the walls for lighting.

In a cage at the end of the dungeon, a Holy Light Beast that was just over ten thousand years old was tightly bound, its broad wings hanging limply to the ground, and its thick, powerful limbs covered in wounds.

Hearing the noise, it slowly opened its eyes and looked at the person who came. Its once bright and dazzling snow-white fur was now dull and lifeless. Even so, the pure and holy aura around it still gave people a sense of holiness.

This Holy Light Beast is precisely Qian Renxue's target for this trip.

Despite its current severely injured and dying appearance, it is actually extremely powerful and has a strong ability to recover under sunlight. That's why it was imprisoned underground to suppress it.

"Let's do it." Su Cheng glanced at her and, after confirming that she was completely powerless to resist, said to Qian Renxue beside him.

Qian Renxue nodded, took a deep breath, took out a longsword from her soul tool, and stepped forward.

He then thrust out his sword, swiftly and cleanly ending the soul beast's life.

A jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring slowly emerged.

Su Cheng nodded inwardly, marveling at his good luck this time.

There are many soul beasts with holy or evil attributes, but soul beasts with these as their main attributes are extremely rare, even fewer than soul beasts with ultimate attributes.

If she weren't lucky, she probably would have had to find a fire-attribute soul beast as Qian Renxue's fourth soul ring, but that would obviously be far less effective in enhancing the Angelic Martial Soul.

The key point is that the age of this Holy Light Beast is also just right.

Qian Renxue's first few spirit rings were not absorbed across time limits, and her fourth spirit ring, which was over ten thousand years old, was already her limit.

This was achieved only after Su Cheng had been giving her extra training in physical and mental strength over the years, and with her own profound Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul foundation.

"Very good, you can start preparing to absorb this spirit ring now."

Su Cheng looked at Qian Renxue, indicating that she could proceed to the next step.

Su Cheng had already taught her the specific methods and acupoints for silver needle acupuncture.

Qian Renxue did not answer. She took another deep breath and silently took out silver needles and the medicine she had prepared in advance from her soul tool.

Seeing this, Su Cheng prepared to leave the dungeon first and protect her from outside.

"Teacher, wait a minute."

A slightly trembling voice suddenly came from behind.

"What's wrong?" He stopped and turned around, looking puzzled.

What came into view was Qian Renxue's figure with her head bowed.

Her face was obscured by the shadows of her long, golden hair, making it impossible to discern her expression.

The fingers holding the needle case seemed to be trembling slightly.

"I have never practiced identifying those acupoints before, please help me, teacher."

"?"

For a moment, Su Cheng didn't even realize what the other person was saying.

After a moment, he spoke again, "What did you just say?"

"I don't know acupuncture, please help me!"

Su Cheng's tone grew increasingly somber, "Qian Renxue, what's wrong with you?!"

When absorbing the fourth soul ring, the main acupoints stimulated are located on the Ren and Dai meridians, almost all of which are concentrated in sensitive areas such as the abdomen and waist. How could he possibly make a move?
