The divide between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo was a watershed.
Countless Soul Masters of extraordinary talent had been held back at Soul Douluo, unable to break through to Titled Douluo for their entire lives.
Take the leaders of the Lower Four Sects, for instance. Why couldn't they squeeze their way into the Upper Three Sects?
The reason was that their sects had no Titled Douluo holding the fort.
If anyone in the Lower Four Sects broke through to Titled Douluo,
they would absolutely be able to challenge the Upper Three Sects and contend for status.
And Qian Renxue, with the strength of a Soul Douluo, could fight above her level against a Titled Douluo. That alone showed just how terrifying the boost from the Golden Bow and Arrow was.
"Strong!"
"It's far too strong!"
Qian Renxue's voice was full of fervor and excitement.
She had tested the power of the Golden Bow and Arrow.
The arrow she had just fired hadn't unleashed its true strength.
If Qian Renxue gathered more Soul Power,
let alone a Titled Douluo, even a demigod could potentially be shot dead.
The value of this tattoo was comparable to the Angel Holy Sword, the divine artifact passed down through generations of the Angel Clan.
That was the terror of Sun God Apollo.
In the Olympic Pantheon, Apollo was one of the Twelve Olympians.
In terms of true power, he was even mightier than the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm.
Thus, Apollo's Golden Bow and Arrow would certainly be no weaker than the Angel Holy Sword.
Qian Renxue had gotten an incredible bargain this time.
Ding, ding, ding...
Just then, before Qian Renxue had calmed down from her shock and excitement, the wind chime outside the door rang out crisply.
Qian Renxue and Su Yu looked toward the entrance at the same time.
A pair of little A cups and little D cups came walking in, plain as day.
Uh... no, that wasn't right...
It should have been Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Hmph, you really have fallen into depravity."
"Look what time it is, and you only just woke up."
"How can you sleep at your age?"
"As an auxiliary Soul Master, don't you know that a clumsy bird has to start flying early?"
"If you don't work hard now, the others will only leave you further and further behind."
Ning Rongrong had been turned away at the door early that morning, and she was already nursing a temper.
She hadn't intended to throw a little tantrum.
But the moment she saw Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong couldn't help making snide remarks.
The reason, naturally, was that Xue Beng had mocked them yesterday.
As a result, Ning Rongrong had no friendly looks for the other members of the royal family either.
"You're so concerned about how I'm doing. Do you like me?"
Su Yu wasn't annoyed by Ning Rongrong's snide remarks.
With one sentence, he ended the match.
As a transmigrator, Su Yu knew all too well how to deal with a tsundere.
Sure enough, the puffed-up Ning Rongrong turned both embarrassed and angry when she heard that.
"Don't flatter yourself. Who likes you?"
"I just don't want to see the future's strongest auxiliary Soul Master willingly fall into depravity."
Ning Rongrong stuck out her neck and refused to back down.
But her voice grew quieter and quieter.
She was just like a shy little girl whose thoughts had been seen through.
"Heh!"
"Got you in the palm of my hand!"
One look at Ning Rongrong told Su Yu that she had fallen into his rhythm.
"Speaking of which, why have you come back today?"
"Do you need some kind of after-sales service?"
Su Yu didn't keep teasing Ning Rongrong.
He began steering the conversation toward the matter at hand.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately introduced the close friend beside her to Su Yu.
"This is my good friend Zhu Zhuqing. She also wants to ask you for a tattoo."
"Of course, I think your service was good, so I'm willing to be a repeat customer too."
Although Ning Rongrong now had a means of protecting her life, she wasn't satisfied.
Growing up, her father had often taught her that her future partner had to be a powerful Battle Soul Master.
Ning Rongrong hadn't had a choice before.
So she had always taken Ning Fengzhi's words as her standard for choosing a partner.
But now, Ning Rongrong wanted power of her own.
As the saying went, what your father or mother had was no substitute for having it yourself.
If possible, Ning Rongrong naturally didn't want to be a vase who depended on others.
"Su Yu, I need a tattoo that can give me great power."
For once, Ning Rongrong grew serious.
Su Yu shook his head!
He could understand what Ning Rongrong was thinking.
Su Yu raised both hands and feet in support of Ning Rongrong's desire to become stronger on her own.
But supporting her was one thing; whether it could be done was another.
As she was now, Ning Rongrong simply couldn't bear a second tattoo.
After all, even in the world Su Yu had come from, tattoos weren't something one could get recklessly.
If a person's fate wasn't strong enough, getting too many tattoos would bring a backlash.
Take Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, for example.
The tattoo sounded domineering, but few people dared to get it.
That was because the karma involved was too great.
If you didn't have the fate for it but insisted on showing off anyway,
the backlash could very well kill you in the end.
Ning Rongrong was only a level 31 small fry right now.
Bearing one picture of angel wings was already her limit.
If she forcibly got another, Ning Rongrong definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
It was just like absorbing a Soul Ring.
Ning Rongrong's physique simply didn't give her the confidence to absorb one above her level.
If she forced it, she would only explode and die.
"Then... didn't I come all this way for nothing today?"
Ning Rongrong was frightened.
She hadn't expected there to be so many considerations involved in getting a tattoo.
The little princess's mood immediately sank.
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing nodded thoughtfully.
She didn't feel disappointed.
After all, this was what fit the normal state of affairs.
If Su Yu could give people tattoos without limit, that would be the abnormal thing that broke the world's order.
A single tattoo brought a person such enormous benefits.
If someone got a few more, they could join the ranks of first-rate powerhouses even without cultivating.
If a method like that weren't restricted, the whole world would descend into chaos.
"Brother Su, since you still have honored guests to attend to, I won't stay any longer."
"When I have time, I'll come back and catch up with you."
"Rongrong, I already know about what happened yesterday."
"Here, let me apologize to you on behalf of that good-for-nothing younger brother of mine."
"Everything he did was nonsense. It absolutely doesn't represent the entire royal family."
"After I return, I'll be sure to teach him a lesson."
Qian Renxue rose to leave.
She had already achieved her goal.
Staying any longer would only waste time.
Qian Renxue could tell that with Ning Rongrong here, Su Yu would surely spend most of his time on her.
Since that was the case, she would tactfully take her leave first.
In any case, she would have plenty of time to spend with Su Yu in the future.
As for Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue didn't forget to soothe her feelings.
Ning Rongrong hadn't said a single word to her since coming through the door.
She hadn't even given her a proper look.
How could Qian Renxue not see that Ning Rongrong was upset?
Qian Renxue didn't want to let their relationship turn sour yet.
After all, the other party's father was her teacher.
Back then, to tie the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to his chariot, Qian Renxue had chosen outright to take Ning Fengzhi as her teacher.
That move was very important to Qian Renxue's plans.
These people would all help him ascend to the imperial throne in the future.
Qian Renxue needed to maintain this relationship!
