Stacked Domains, Twin Gods of Light and Darkness

All of Qian Renxue's previous attacks were preparations for this final sword strike.

No, not just the matches on the field today.

She had been making preparations since before, starting from the moment she sent that Soul Bone.

Qian Renxue did not covet these things, and she did intend to give the Soul Bone to Su Cheng, but she might not necessarily send it to him the day before the three-way battle.

The reason she chose to hand it over to Su Cheng at this time was to see what the relationship between the two of them was.

If this Soul Bone didn't end up in Zhu Zhuqing's hands, it would prove that they were nothing special to each other, and at least for Su Cheng, that girl wasn't important.

Zhu Zhuqing had no means of survival, and as the team's momentum waned, she would naturally concede defeat. Even if she were accidentally killed, Qian Renxue wouldn't care.

But if Su Cheng really handed over that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Zhu Zhuqing, then Zhu Zhuqing would have one more reason to die.

The life-saving skill within her Soul Bone is her death warrant.

When she pinned her hopes for survival on those two Soul Bone Skills, she had already stepped one foot into the gates of hell.

Qian Renxue didn't know what skills were contained in Xiao Wu's dropped Soul Bone, but she could guess a bit about it.

The Spirit Hall possesses abundant information and has also conducted research on transformed Soul Beast.

Their Soul Skill are not obtained from hunting Soul Beast, but are generated on their own. Therefore, the Soul Skill attached to their Soul Ring are a manifestation of their own Soul Beast bloodline.

Therefore, when these transformed Soul Beast die, the Soul Bone Skill generated will inevitably contain the Soul Ring skills they possessed in their previous lives.

Even the Soul Ring skills may share the same origin as their former Soul Skill.

Because she coveted this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Qian Renxue had secretly observed Xiao Wu's battle before.

After the competition entered the final stage, Xiao Wu also advanced to the level 40 threshold and advanced to Soul Ancestor on her way to Spirit City.

In the battles that took place in Spirit City, her fighting style had already been fully revealed. Her four Soul Skills were Waist Bow, Charm, Teleportation, and Invincible Golden Body.

Both Teleportation and Invincible Golden Body are extremely powerful survival skills.

However, it wouldn't matter which one Ren Zhu Zhuqing obtained.

Because she simply couldn't use it.

And that is indeed the case.

The jet-black sword blade slashed through the air.

Swift as the wind and powerful as thunder, it is extremely fast and powerful.

In the blink of an eye, the sword struck Zhu Zhuqing without any hindrance.

As the sword slashed down.

A moment of confusion flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, as if she hadn't fully come to her senses yet.

The next moment, the layers of eerie light surrounding his body dissipated. Martial Soul Avatar, the long wings formed by the hurricane also vanished without a trace, turning into streams of air.

Within a short span of time, her life force plummeted to the bottom and then completely dissipated.

The flame of life has been completely extinguished.

She died.

All these changes, though a long story, actually happened in the blink of an eye, leaving even the Titled Douluo watching the battle somewhat overwhelmed.

Dugu Bo stood frozen in place, not even daring to turn around and look at Su Cheng's expression.

Although Qian Renxue's domain binding power is strong, her own cultivation level is low, and she has not used her Martial Soul Avatar. It is obviously impossible for her to trap a Peak Douluo for a long time.

But even that brief moment was enough to prevent him from reaching the rescue.

Bibi Dong was also stunned, her thoughts not quite clear yet. She couldn't understand why Qian Renxue was acting so crazy as to kill someone right here.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were wide open, and he was breathing heavily through his open mouth, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't say a word.

Flender and Liu Erlong stood up in shock, equally unable to control themselves.

Although their relationship wasn't particularly deep due to their personality differences and Zhu Zhuqing's rebellious nature, they were still teacher and student who had spent many years together, and it was impossible for them to remain indifferent to this scene.

Moreover, now that Xiao Wu is dead, Tang San has fled far away, Dai Mubai is missing, if Zhu Zhuqing also dies here, then the original six students of the Shrek Academy will be almost all gone.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

His heart pounded in his chest, and Su Cheng's mind went blank for a moment.

Without realizing it, he had unwittingly reached the edge of the competition field.

However, there are still ways to remedy this...

Su Cheng quickly calmed down. Without saying anything more, he immediately prepared to take action, using the True Vision of his True Sight Eye to search for Zhu Zhuqing's soul.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Su Cheng's eyes suddenly moved, and he looked in another direction.

He sensed a breath of new life.

Before Qian Renxue, the body that had been struck by the sword and whose life force had dissipated gradually turned into black mist and dissipated.

Then, a slender figure appeared about twenty meters away from where the two had clashed.

Zhu Zhuqing, pale-faced, breathed softly.

It was clear at this moment that she was in extremely poor condition, her Soul Power was almost depleted, and even her body was trembling slightly from exhaustion.

But he did not die in the end.

She glanced at Su Cheng, whose face was pale, not far away, then parted her lips slightly and said softly, "I admit defeat."

Fifth Soul Skill: Netherworld Substitute Death.

This is the Soul Skill that comes with the Fifth Soul Ring she absorbed when she advanced to Soul King.

After using this Soul Skill, in normal state it is somewhat similar to her Fourth Soul Skill, Netherworld Possession, which can enhance her various attributes and provide a good buff, while consuming little Soul Power.

However, when she suffers a fatal injury, this buff will act as a substitute, blocking a fatal attack that is no more than her own limit.

If the substitution skill takes effect, then her fifth Soul Skill will need to be on cooldown for a month before it can be used again.

Qian Renxue ultimately underestimated Zhu Zhuqing.

All the preparations she had made were actually aimed not at Zhu Zhuqing herself, but at Su Cheng behind her, and she had put almost all her attention on Su Cheng.

Qian Renxue has a deep understanding of Su Cheng, but Su Cheng's understanding of her newborn second personality is still shallow.

Therefore, everything she did before was not to lower Zhu Zhuqing's guard, but to lower Su Cheng's guard.

The reason for killing Zhu Zhuqing was simply because of her relationship with Su Cheng.

But in reality, Qian Renxue never really took this girl seriously.

In terms of talent, strength, and status, the two are not in the same league.

In Qian Renxue's view, Zhu Zhuqing is only fourteen or fifteen years old and has little combat experience.

Even if one possesses an extremely powerful Martial Soul and a cultivation level far exceeding that of their peers, so what?

A ring match is completely different from a life-or-death battle.

Little did she know that Zhu Zhuqing was equally experienced.

This experience refers not only to combat but also to one's style of doing things.

Zhu Zhuqing is not afraid of crises, but she is not blindly confident. She may appear indifferent, but she is actually very thoughtful.

She wouldn't put herself in danger if she didn't have the ability to save her own life.

The Soul Bone that Su Cheng gave her was just a pleasant surprise; she never intended to rely on it to save her life.

Her true means of survival in this final was her fifth Soul Skill.

However, this skill, while seemingly ridiculously powerful, is actually within the normal range. Its biggest advantage is its ability to prevent sneak attacks.

Because it is a status skill, once it buffs the user, the Soul Master does not need to actively activate it.

In terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is actually inferior to Xiao Wu's two Soul Bone Skills.

Because if you are killed in a head-on confrontation, even if you use your Soul Skill to take your own life, the opponent can simply finish you off with another sword strike.

But for Zhu Zhuqing at this time, this skill was obviously very useful.

Qian Renxue's expression darkened for a moment as she looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who had reappeared on the other side, unharmed except for being slightly out of sorts.

She quickly regained her composure and had no intention of continuing to attack.

She knew in her heart that there was no chance now, and there was also a Poison Douluo watching her.

Having taken precautions beforehand, there's simply no chance of successfully killing the opponent in full view of everyone.

With Zhu Zhuqing's concesion, the match came to an end.

Even though she had just narrowly escaped death, her expression did not change much.

In fact, she never thought she could win this battle today.

He just wanted to fight this woman in person and see just how strong she really was.

Qian Renxue ignored Zhu Zhuqing and turned to Dugu Bo beside her, coldly asking, "What advice does Senior Poison Douluo have?"

Standing proudly in the air, Dugu Bo remained calm, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

He said in a deep voice, "I see that you are all exceptionally talented, and I was worried that you might lose control and cause an accident, so I came to check on you. Since there is nothing wrong, please make yourselves at home."

He spoke with an air of nonchalance and extraordinary composure, his words brimming with the powerful aura of Peak Douluo.

He was actually feeling extremely embarrassed at that moment.

On the other side, seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was unharmed, Yu Xiaogang angrily shouted, "I hereby appeal that the members of the Spirit Hall Academy Team violated regulations, used excessive force during the battle, and had the intention to kill maliciously!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue glanced to the side and coldly retorted, "Is she dead?"

As her voice fell, Yu Xiaogang was speechless for a moment.

It wasn't that they were in the wrong, but rather that although the other party's expression was calm, their eyes were truly terrifying.

His dark eyes were completely still and lifeless.

Clearly, her mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"Qian Renxue, come down."

At this moment, Bibi Dong's calm voice rang out, easing the awkwardness of the situation.

Upon hearing this Qian Renxue snorted coldly, ignored the others, glanced at Su Cheng expressionlessly, and then returned to her team.

Xie Yue and the others remained silent, none of them daring to speak.

Qian Renxue's sword strike just now terrified not only the Shrek Academy students, but even they themselves.

Although Yu Xiaogang Qian Renxue's question with a single sentence, no one present was a fool. Everyone could see that Qian Renxue was intent on killing him.

On the Heaven Dou Royal Academy side, all the team members also looked solemn.

Feng Qingyu, her face pale, whispered to Su Cheng, "Teacher, maybe we shouldn't fight tomorrow. That woman really is capable of killing someone."

"Don't worry, with me here, you won't die."

Su Cheng sighed; he had no mood to deal with this cheap apprentice right now.

As the match ended, the people in the square quickly dispersed.

Although there were some minor hiccups along the way, the overall progress was pretty much as most people expected. Now, we'll see what the final battle will be like tomorrow.

As for the final match, no one can predict who will emerge victorious.

While Qian Renxue is indeed extremely powerful, possessing not only the cultivation of Soul Saint but also a Seventh Soul Ring that is 100,000 years old.

But the memory of Su Cheng's sword strike that shattered Tang Hao's powerful force field is still vivid, and no one would underestimate him because of his cultivation level.

After returning to the hotel, the Shrek Academy students all looked somewhat somber.

Although this result was somewhat expected, it was still a bit disappointing when the time came.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened further. "The Spirit Hall Academy Team has clearly violated the rules and should be disqualified. It's outrageous."

Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both feeling somewhat helpless.

They knew Yu Xiaogang had a deep-seated obsession, but saying it now was obviously pointless.

Liu Erlong took the initiative to step forward and took his arm, gently comforting him, "Xiao Gang, we all know that the Spirit Hall doesn't follow the rules. They've done similar things more than once or twice. Don't worry, the truth will come out in the future."

"Yes, Xiao Gang, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Our results are already quite good," Flender said at this moment.

"This is just a competition, there's a long road ahead. The Spirit Hall members are only a few years older, which is why they have an advantage in cultivation. Don't forget how old our students are now."

"That's true." Yu Xiaogang's expression softened a bit, and he nodded slightly.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face. "Moreover, if Xiao San goes to cultivate with His Haotian Mianxia, he will surely make rapid progress. With his accumulated knowledge and skills, his future achievements may not be inferior to those of the others."

"And Zhu Zhuqing," Flender added from the side.

He looked at the silent girl, assuming she was still feeling down about today's defeat.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you are not even fifteen years old yet, nearly ten years younger than Qian Renxue, and your talent is by no means inferior to hers. You should know that the difficulty of improving Soul Master's cultivation is getting greater and greater, and it is not impossible for you to catch up with her in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at him and nodded silently.

The other students listened to their dean and teachers' discussion and their expressions relaxed a bit.

However, they weren't actually that disappointed.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang and others, they were much more aware of their own capabilities. Even in the early rounds of the finals, their victories had a large element of luck, having drawn several favorable matches.

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't on the team at the time, and if they hadn't encountered some weaker opponents, they probably would have been eliminated long ago.

I am already very satisfied to have come this far.

Jing Ling and Huang Yuan were originally substitutes, Oscar, Ma Hongjun and Jiang Zhu did not have much ambition, and Tai Long had long lost the desire to win the championship because of Xiao Wu's death and Tang San's departure.

Flender suddenly sighed, his voice tinged with emotion.

"With the competition over, you have all officially graduated. The academy has now offended the Spirit Hall, and things may not be easy for it in the future."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged bewildered glances.

Indeed, with Tang San's identity exposed, coupled with their high-profile behavior during the competition, it's hard to say whether they will be targeted by the number one power on the continent.

"However, you don't need to worry too much, as long as Shrek Academy keeps a low profile in the future. By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her gaze and said softly, "I plan to gain some experience on the continent before returning to the Star Luo Empire."

She now possesses two extremely powerful soul Soul Bone Skill, which have not yet been revealed. Combined with her current strength, she has a chance to contend with even an ordinary Soul Saint.

On the continent, apart from a small number of people from the Star Luo Empire, there is no reason for other powerful figures to attack her.

Given the Star Luo Empire's strength in Soul Master, it would be virtually impossible for them to send a large number of powerful individuals to the Heaven Dou Empire to deal with her.

Moreover, it's hard to say what the current high-ranking officials of the Star Luo Empire's attitude towards Zhu Zhuqing is; there are likely to be significant disagreements.

The power struggles in the Star Luo Empire are bloody and cruel, and it has always been a matter of survival of the fittest and strength speaking for itself. There has never been such a thing as loyalty.

For many people, Zhu Zhuqing's appearance may well be an opportunity and a source of hope.

On the other side, Oscar casually said, "As a food-type Soul Master, I don't have anywhere else to go, so I'll just stay at the academy."

Ma Hongjun chuckled and said, "I prefer freedom. Now that I've finally graduated, I'd like to travel around the mainland and broaden my horizons."

"I plan to return to my family to cultivate for some time..."

As everyone finished discussing their future plans, the previously somber atmosphere gradually dissipated.

Looking at the students in front of him, Flender smiled and said, "Remember to come back to the academy in a few years. Then we can see each other and compete for the championship in the next competition."

"Tap, tap, tap."

At night, there was a knock on Su Cheng's door.

He got up and opened the door, and the person standing outside was Zhu Zhuqing.

"I'm leaving."

Su Cheng sighed inwardly and stepped aside, saying, "Come in and let's talk."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at him silently for a long time before stepping into the room.

Standing by the window, with her back to him, she whispered, "Su Cheng, if she kills me today, what will you do?"

After obtaining the Soul Bone from Xiao Wu yesterday, she realized that killing Xiao Wu was not Su Cheng's plan alone, but a joint idea of him and Qian Renxue.

"You won't die," Su Cheng said in a deep voice. "I have a way to preserve your Soul Body and then find a way to revive you."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent upon hearing this.

That's not what she wanted to hear.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Su Cheng took the initiative to ask, "What are your plans for the future?"

"... I haven't decided yet."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, her long black hair fluttering gently in the breeze outside the window.

With the revelation of the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul, she no longer needed to care about her family's thoughts, nor did she need to consider the so-called selection of the Star Luo Imperial Family's heir.

Right now, all she wants to do is cultivate and become stronger, but she doesn't have many other concrete ideas yet.

"I do have a suggestion."

Zhu Zhuqing's mood had gradually calmed down. She turned to look at Su Cheng, waiting for him to continue.

"Stay in Spirit City for a few days. I'll let you know when I have news. It will definitely be much more effective than blindly cultivating on your own. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

The next morning, Su Cheng and his team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team arrived at the hotel entrance very early.

He glanced at his teammates and nodded slightly, saying, "Let's go. I don't have many demands on you today, just do your best. Regardless of the outcome, at least show your spirit."

Su Cheng did not talk about himself.

His abilities are evident to all.

But for these young teammates, today is a huge stage.

The highest cultivation level among them was only level 44. For Shui Bing'er, Battle Soul King level expert was an extremely difficult challenge, but also an excellent opportunity for training.

In the later battles, Su Cheng would have little time to attend to his teammates; he needed to focus on dealing with Qian Renxue.

The domain that the other party displayed yesterday alone made him feel somewhat troubled.

If the opponent uses this technique while in their Martial Soul Avatar state, it will inevitably create even greater pressure.

Besides, the skill gap between him and his teammates is too great. If he were to be included in the team's combat tactics, it would not only be meaningless, but would also unnecessarily increase the difficulty of Shui Bing'er's command.

For Su Cheng, it was enough that his teammates could limit the opposing Soul King and prevent them from affecting his performance.

Soon, the Pope's Palace came into view in the distance.

Pope Bibi Dong, along with Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and others who watched the battle yesterday, were already seated.

The three Soul Bones, which served as a reward, lay quietly on a red brocade plate to the side, emitting a faint glow and silently attracting everyone's attention.

The members of the Spirit Hall Academy Team were already standing in the square, waiting silently.

As Su Cheng and the others arrived at the scene, the surrounding air seemed to become somewhat stagnant.

The clash of momentum between the two teams has begun.

"The final of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. Team members, please prepare. The match will begin in fifteen minutes."

As soon as the referee gave the order, the members of both teams quickly reorganized their formations and returned to their positions.

Qian Renxue's gaze swept over the seven people opposite her, her previous laziness and casualness completely gone.

"I'll handle Su Cheng. You can deal with the others. Their cultivation level is at most Soul Ancestor. If we lose, you know what the consequences will be."

She and Su Cheng surprisingly chose the same tactic.

"Prepare for the match. Both sides may release their Martial Soul."

After exchanging a glance, a surge of Soul Power erupted from each of their bodies.

On the Spirit Hall's side, Qian Renxue, standing at the forefront, had seven Soul Rings.

But she was different from yesterday. After her Martial Soul Possession, her two pairs of wings were no longer pitch black, but as white as snow.

The light shining from his eyes was also a brilliant golden light.

Behind her, the three Soul Kings, led by Xie Yue, also had the best Soul Ring Configuration, with five dazzling Soul Ring.

As they released their Martial Soul, Su Cheng also revealed his own Martial Soul.

But at this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Su Cheng.

Everyone was already very familiar with the Longevity Sword in his right hand, but at this moment, another Martial Soul was floating above his left hand.

It was a profound and mysterious energy array.

Judging from its quality alone, it was in no way inferior to the Longevity Sword in his right hand.

Twin Martial Souls!

Only then did everyone realize that not only Tang San, but Su Cheng also possessed Twin Martial Souls! And two of the most top-tier Twin Martial Souls at that!

Moreover, judging from his current appearance, it seems that he can use both of his Martial Soul at the same time!

No, he has already used it at the same time.

Su Cheng's Second Martial Soul appeared once during Tang Hao's battle with Bibi Dong that day.

However, his attack was sudden and extremely fast, and he only made one sword strike before there was no follow-up.

No one noticed that he was using two Martial Soul at the time.

Or rather, no one would even think in that direction.

Although they didn't understand the details of Su Cheng's attack, they assumed it was just another strange, Self-Created Soul Skill.

How did he do that?!

For a moment, all the audience members present were shocked by him.

The finals were not as exciting as the previous matches, and the number of spectators was not large.

But those who are able to watch the battle here are all either powerful or of high status.

Even with their limited knowledge, they could hardly imagine such a scenario happening.

Even Bibi Dong's delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed at this moment.

The match, which I was initially confident of winning, has now become much more unpredictable.

"The match begins!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the Cardinal Bishop the Spirit Hall, who was acting as the referee, was the first to react. He immediately announced the start of the match and quickly retreated, clearing the field for the referee.

At the same time, Qian Renxue's crimson Seventh Soul Ring instantly shone.

Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar!

Unlike yesterday, Qian Renxue showed no signs of carelessness today, immediately unleashing her Martial Soul Avatar, enhanced by 100,000 Year Spirit Ring.

She was not surprised by Su Cheng's Twin Martial Souls, nor was she momentarily stunned by them.

Unlike others, she never looked down on her teacher.

As dazzling golden light flashed, the phantom behind Qian Renxue quietly moved forward, and she quickly merged with the phantom.

The entire person, including their skin and hair, was rendered in pure gold.

Then, a dazzling golden flame enveloped her body, and even the Soul Ring beneath her feet were tinged with a brilliant golden light.

On the two pairs of pure white wings behind Qian Renxue, golden light spread from the roots all the way to the tip of each feather.

With a whoosh, another pair of wings unfurled from her back, revealing her true form as Six-Winged Angel under the influence of her Seventh Soul Ring Martial Soul Avatar.

The amplification effect of the Martial Soul Avatar is directly proportional to the quality of the Martial Soul itself. In other words, the higher the quality of the Martial Soul, the stronger the amplification will be after using the Martial Soul Avatar.

The higher the level of the Martial Soul, the greater the significance of possessing the Seventh Soul Skill, because only when the Martial Soul Avatar power of the Martial Soul is unleashed can it be truly displayed.

With a melodious long howl from Qian Renxue, she stretched out her arms, and golden light spread outwards, enveloping everyone.

Angel Domain!

Facing Qian Renxue, who had unleashed her Martial Soul Avatar, Su Cheng dared not be careless in the slightest.

With a solemn expression, he Longevity Sword horizontally in his hand, while the Innate Array Diagram in his left hand silently landed on the ground.

Subsequently, the Five Elements Domain, centered on the Longevity Sword, silently expanded, confronting the opponent's Angel Domain head-on, with each side gradually eroding and resisting the other.

However, the next moment, two more domains appeared in the arena, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Surrounding Su Cheng's body were countless sword energies floating and swirling, filled with an incomparably sharp aura. Just one glance was enough to give one a feeling of being pricked by thorns.

The Sword Dao Domain!

But while his second area was certainly unexpected, the changes in Qian Renxue's side were even more astonishing.

Beneath the dazzling golden light, a deep, shadowy layer quietly emerged.

Like shadows under the sunlight, they are clearly distinct yet appear remarkably harmonious.

Another figure appeared beside her.

Three pairs of jet-black wings fluttered freely, and deep, cold eyes held a chilling and menacing look.

Two Qian Renxue!
