The Plan Begins

Lu Yuan held Qian Renxue's delicate hand and said, "How has this month been? I've been at the Great Spirit Arena the whole time and haven't had a chance to visit you!"

"It's alright!" Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Things are progressing smoothly, thanks to the list you provided. In the past month, I've found a reason to remove two people from the list."

"Yes! But be careful not to go too far, just take it slow!" Lu Yuan said.

"I know!" Qian Renxue said, "I watched your match today, and you've improved a lot!"

Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised, as Lu Yuan's strength was now much greater than it had been a year or so ago.

"It's been so long, you should have made some progress by now. If I'm not mistaken, you should be level 49 now, almost at level 50!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

Qian Renxue is six years older than her, but actually only a little over five years old. She is already at level 49, which means that Qian Renxue will break through to the Soul King level soon.

Soul King at the age of fifteen—that's one of a kind across the entire continent!

At least that's how it is now!

"How did you figure that out?" Qian Renxue was a little puzzled. It was understandable for a high-level person to be able to tell the difference between a low-level cultivator and a high-level cultivator, but Lu Yuan's Soul Power Level was much lower than hers. How could he tell her level?

"It's a secret!" Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously.

"A secret?" Qian Renxue's voice rose several octaves as she placed her jade-like hand on Lu Yuan's waist, biting her lip lightly as she said, "What other secrets do you have that you can't tell me?"

There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Lu Yuan pulled Qian Renxue's hand slightly and hugged her tightly, laughing, "Just kidding, listen to me!"

His tone was gentle and soft!

"What do you mean?" Qian Renxue didn't struggle when Lu Yuan pulled her into his arms; perhaps she herself missed this feeling.

"How much do you know about the Star Luo Ancient Ruins?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I don't know much, but Grandpa wrote to say that you gained a lot of benefits from sitting in those Ancient Ruins," Qian Renxue said.

"There are indeed many benefits. In the Ancient Ruins, I obtained a Divine Seed, which caused a huge change in myself. Not only did my Martial Soul gain a trace of divinity, but I also awakened Second Martial Soul and was favored by the gods," Lu Yuan said.

"Divine Seed?" Qian Renxue's pretty face showed a hint of shock as she asked, "Then you?"

"Yes, now I'm the same as you!" Lu Yuan gently kissed Qian Renxue's luscious red lips and said, "From now on, we can truly be together forever, even when we become gods, we can still be together!"

Even after being kissed by Lu Yuan again, Qian Renxue remained unmoved, still shocked by what Lu Yuan had just said.

After a moment, she finally came to her senses and remembered what Lu Yuan had just done to her. Feeling shy, she rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "You've been naughty again."

Lu Yuan chuckled, leaned close to Qian Renxue's ear, and said, "I just love playing tricks on you!"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt somewhat helpless; she really had no way to deal with this scoundrel.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she said, "You just said you awakened your Second Martial Soul, so what is your Martial Soul?"

"Of course, it's my eyes, these Double Pupils. Although they can't be used to apply Soul Ring, they have all sorts of wonderful uses!" He then explained the effects of the Double Pupils.

"No wonder you could detect my level; it's because of these Double Pupils."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she suddenly asked, "Since your Double Pupils can see through illusions, can you see through me if I wear a disguise?"

"Okay!" Lu Yuan said.

Qian Renxue was startled. Her disguise was flawless, and she even borrowed the power of a Soul Bone from the Angel Set. Yet Lu Yuan could still see through it. His Double Pupils were truly impressive.

"Just how strong are you now?" Qian Renxue asked.

Lu Yuan now exudes mystery, and even she feels a subtle sense of threat from him. Keep in mind that she is a level 49 Soul Ancestor with a divine Martial Soul, a full 20 levels higher than Lu Yuan.

"What level? I can defeat most Soul King and below. As for Soul King, I should be able to put up a fight if I use the power of my Double Pupils!" Lu Yuan made an estimate of his own strength, which was basically it.

The God-Slaying Spear is not included because it is too terrifying. Lu Yuan would never have used it unless he was truly at his wit's end.

"Hiss!" Qian Renxue looked at Lu Yuan strangely. This guy was really a bit abnormal.

With her current strength, dealing with Soul King shouldn't be a big problem, but defeating a Soul Emperor would be very difficult, as she's only one level above him. But this guy in front of her not only defeated Soul Ancestor Master two levels above him, but he can even fight Soul King. He's truly abnormal.

Seeing Qian Renxue's shocked expression, Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Anyway, no matter how powerful I am, I still can't beat you right now, can I?"

The Golden Dragon and the Six-Winged Angel are of similar quality. Lu Yuan also has the Golden Dragon Bloodline and the Qingqi Sutra to help him. However, Qian Renxue's Soul Power is twenty levels higher than his. The difference of twenty levels is huge and cannot be made up for by a bloodline or a technique.

If Lu Yuan wanted to hurt Qian Renxue, he would have to use his Double Pupils, but the power of the Double Pupils is unpredictable. Lu Yuan himself can't even control them, so how could he dare to use them on Qian Renxue? Therefore, if he were to encounter Qian Renxue now, he would probably still lose.

"So you mean you'll be able to beat me in the future?" Qian Renxue said Youyou.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback!

Qian Renxue said again, "If you can beat me in the future, will you start thinking about how to bully me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Xue, what's going on in her head?

"Speak up!" Qian Renxue glared at Lu Yuan.

"How could that be?" Lu Yuan cupped Qian Renxue's delicate face in his hands, his eyes filled with tenderness, and said, "You are my most beloved Xue'er, how could I bear to bully you? I cherish you too much!"

"Really?" Qian Renxue looked at Lu Yuan with suspicion.

"Of course, I promise!" Lu Yuan quickly raised his hand.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue smiled Sisi and said, "Alright, then I'll reluctantly believe you!"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, gently inhaling the fragrance of Qian Renxue's hair, and said, "Xue'er, I have now obtained the Purple-Gold Spirit Badge, so our plan can proceed."

"Okay! Then you can hand over the challenge letter, and I'll go invite Ning Fengzhi!" Qian Renxue said.

"Yes! By the way, I'll have Salas secretly create some buzz, and we'll definitely get the hype going very quickly!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Mm!" Qian Renxue nodded gently.
