Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 29 Fast and Slow (Please continue reading)

On the training ground near the Hall of Offerings, Su Cheng and Qian Renxue stood facing each other.

Su Cheng looked around and chuckled softly.

"It's quite lively today."

Unlike last time, this time there were far more than just Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo secretly watching the battle.

The other major deities of the Offering Hall were also present, standing in a circle inside the hall, waiting for Qian Daoliu's live broadcast.

Many titled Douluo in the Elder Hall stood openly at a distance from the training ground, watching the spectacle without any attempt to conceal themselves, which was observed by the two of them.

Even Bibi Dong was silently observing in the Papal Palace, assessing the current strength of the master and disciple.

However, the vast majority of these viewers came for Qian Renxue.

As a peerless genius with innate soul power of level 20, and now having absorbed his first ten-thousand-year soul ring at the Soul Master stage, he naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Of course, these people wouldn't ignore Su Cheng's existence.

In the years since he joined the Spirit Hall, he has long earned everyone's recognition and respect through his knowledge and wisdom.

However, this respect is limited to knowledge; as for combat strength, no one believes he can defeat Qian Renxue now.

The two are vastly different in every way.

In addition, some students from the Spirit Hall Academy with strong backgrounds also watched the battle under the guidance of their elders to broaden their horizons.

Hu Liena, who had just been promoted to a Great Soul Master, was standing next to Bibi Dong, watching the scene created by her teacher with her soul power.

However, there are also people who are purely looking for fun, such as Yue Guan.

He looked at Su Cheng with schadenfreude and said to Ghost Douluo beside him, "Old Ghost, Mr. Su is going to get a beating from his disciple this time. Every time I see that effortless expression on his face, I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy. What do you think?"

"I think it's fine." Ghostly said calmly, but his words were ruthless. "You're just jealous that he knows more than you."

"..."

The battle was about to begin. Qian Renxue looked at Su Cheng and said, "Teacher, you haven't told us your bet yet."

"Let's talk about it later. Don't worry, I won't put you in a difficult position. If you feel this isn't appropriate, then let's just forget about it. There's nothing I need you to do right now."

Qian Renxue seemed to have thought of something, a blush flashed across her face, and she nodded slightly without refusing.

The onlookers around had different thoughts, and Su Cheng knew that Bibi Dong must be watching as well.

He didn't take it to heart.

Qian Renxue is still too inexperienced. Even if there are some unexpected things, a mere Soul Master shouldn't arouse Bibi Dong's suspicion and vigilance.

Qian Renxue had no idea what Su Cheng was thinking at that moment.

Her thoughts were extremely simple; she simply wanted to surpass the teacher in terms of ability.

"Teacher, be careful."

The six-winged angel martial soul appeared behind him, and four soul rings, two yellow, one purple and one black, were revealed. Under the golden light, two pairs of pure white wings, one large and one small, unfolded from his back.

Her body, like that of a true angel, floated up and remained suspended in mid-air.

Then, rings of golden light, accompanied by strange and beautiful sounds, enveloped Su Cheng directly.

The immense pressure from all sides followed, restricting his five senses and six perceptions.

Qian Renxue immediately used Angel Domain this time.

Seeing this, Su Cheng did not hesitate. At the same time, he summoned his martial soul, and his first soul ring lit up, adding the tenacity attribute to the longsword in his hand.

Then, wisps of sword energy emanated from him.

However, his sword domain is still only in its infancy. It is barely enough to protect his body and can only reduce the pressure brought by the angel domain to a certain extent.

As for wrestling with the other party, that's pure wishful thinking.

Same as three years ago.

Su Cheng is again employing a defensive counter-attacking strategy this time.

However, Qian Renxue is clearly not the same Qian Renxue she was three years ago.

She didn't attack directly, nor did she use her first three soul skills. Instead, she lit up her pitch-black fourth soul ring.

Fourth Soul Skill: Angel's Descent!

After using this soul skill, the six-winged angel martial soul phantom disappeared and merged with Qian Renxue.

A dazzling golden light shone around her, and her powerful aura was unleashed in all directions without restraint.

This soul skill is clearly different from ordinary martial soul possession. It strengthens oneself in all aspects, fully maximizing the divine attribute while further coordinating the connection between the physical body and the martial soul.

Speed, physique, and explosiveness all increased several levels in an instant.

With a flash of golden light, a giant sword with a blade of light appeared in Qian Renxue's hand.

They then rushed over and engaged Su Cheng in battle.

This time, Qian Renxue did not directly overpower Su Cheng with force, but instead used swordsmanship to attack and defend against him. She even retreated occasionally, giving Su Cheng no chance to build up his strength.

Qian Daoliu once told her that Su Cheng's swordsmanship was best at neutralizing relentless, forceful attacks.

If the attacking side doesn't understand the principle of conserving energy, the longer the battle drags on, the stronger Su Cheng's accumulated power will become.

His sword-holding stance is considered an absolute defense when the skill levels are similar.

However, this defensive sword technique is not without its flaws.

If the other side is focused on a war of attrition, he will be in a very difficult position.

Now, Qian Renxue's martial soul strength and soul power level are far superior to Su Cheng's. If they continue to fight like this, it will be obvious who will win in the end.

However, Su Cheng had no intention of using his previous tactics at this point.

The blade slashed forward, and the lightsaber flashed past.

"Zheng—"

The two swords clashed.

Surprisingly, after several rounds, the two sides were evenly matched.

Then, the clanging sound of the two swords clashing together rang out.

This scene took all the spectators by surprise.

Many people have speculated about the possibility of Su Cheng achieving a surprising victory.

But none of the titled Douluo present expected that they would fight so evenly.

"No, Miss didn't seem to use her full strength in her attack. Was she holding back?" Yue Guan asked, looking at her old partner, Gui Mei, with some doubt.

"Not only that." Ghost Douluo's expression was also somewhat surprised. "Didn't you notice that Mr. Su's attack speed was a bit excessively fast?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing the ghost's words, Yue Guan finally realized, "That's true, but there's no reason for it."

In battles between Soul Masters, it's never just a contest of the quantity and strength of Soul Power. The strength, speed, eyesight, prediction, and Soul Skills of both sides are all extremely important factors.

Especially in close combat, one can often anticipate the opponent's next move the moment they raise their hand.

As a Soul Master, Su Cheng should theoretically have no chance of keeping up with the attack speed of Qian Renxue, a Soul Sect Master.

That's why Yue Guan didn't notice this before.

However, the situation on the field was quite the opposite at this moment, with Su Cheng's attacks seemingly taking Qian Renxue by surprise.

This caused her to miss the initiative with every strike, and she was always a step behind in the rhythm of her attacks.
