Elder Sister

A disciple of Qian Daoliu?

Upon hearing Su Cheng's answer, Bo Saixi felt inexplicably displeased.

With a flick of his left hand, he carelessly flung the precious token symbolizing his noble status away, which landed diagonally in the soil dozens of meters away from the two of them.

He said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Before he could finish speaking, the blade of light arrived again.

Not only that, but his free, fair left hand clenched into a fist, golden light instantly condensed, and he swung it straight forward.

The next moment, a powerful punch, accompanied by a whistling sound, struck Su Cheng in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the powerful attack before him, Su Cheng's expression changed drastically.

Even more terrifying, he felt as if the air around him had frozen.

My body felt as if it were in the deepest part of the ocean, with immense pressure coming from all sides. Not to mention moving quickly as usual, even maintaining my balance was difficult.

"There's no way to dodge it, we have no choice but to fight it head-on..."

Su Cheng's expression was solemn, and the Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed one after another.

Second Soul Skill: Wind Splitting Thunderclap.

Fifth Soul Skill: Reforging the Sharp Edge.

A golden light flashed across the sword's edge, and the originally incredibly heavy Longevity Sword instantly became several times sharper, and its blade also became exceptionally tough.

He immediately slashed down with his sword.

"Boom--"

The sword's edge and the golden fist shadow collided with a deafening roar.

A tremendous roar resounded all around.

After the attack, Su Cheng was forced back more than ten meters, and a trickle of blood uncontrollably spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The internal organs showed signs of damage to varying degrees.

Opposite him, Bo Saixi raised an eyebrow.

He withdrew his left fist with a hint of surprise.

At this moment, a small scratch, more than half an inch long, appeared on that fair fist.

"Heh, as expected of you."

A mere newly promoted Soul Emperor was actually able to injure her, a level 99 Peerless Douluo, in a head-on collision.

Although she did not use her Martial Soul.

The wound was only a tiny, insignificant trace of blood.

On the other side, Su Cheng, panting heavily, had no time to rest before straightening up with a solemn expression.

The person opposite me has changed their aura!

An unparalleled sense of power and majesty emanated from her.

Under the vast blue light, a huge, faintly visible golden humanoid phantom slowly emerged.

In the hand of that humanoid phantom, there seemed to be a huge trident.

At the same time, nine Soul Rings, eight black and one red, were neatly arranged at Bo Saixi's feet, unabashedly releasing terrifying Soul Power fluctuations.

Noticing the surprise on Su Cheng's face, and glancing at the six Soul Ring —five black and one red—at his feet, a strange light flashed in Bo Saixi's eyes.

He then scoffed, "What, so great about having a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring?"

She raised her right palm high, and then slashed it down diagonally like a blade.

Golden rays gathered in mid-air into blades, slashing towards them with a tremendous whooshing sound.

"The only option left is to Ring Shattering..."

Seeing the terrifying slash that almost completely filled his vision with golden light, Su Cheng's heart sank.

His right arm, which held the Longevity Sword, hung down, as if he had completely given up resisting.

"I estimate that two Soul Ring should be enough to escape. Let's break one first and see if that makes a bigger commotion here, maybe we can save a Soul Ring."

A layer of transparent Innate Power had silently enveloped the First Soul Ring beneath his feet.

Just then, he paused in his action of infusing Innate Power into the Soul Ring.

The opponent's offensive has ceased.

The terrifying golden blade paused in mid-air for a moment before silently shattering.

"..."

Looking at Su Cheng, who looked bewildered not far ahead, Bo Saixi felt increasingly conflicted.

At the crucial moment, however, she no longer wanted to make the cut.

"He didn't do those things, and judging from his appearance, he's not the kind of person who would do such a thing. We can't kill an innocent child just because of a dream."

Bo Saixi took a deep breath. "That's right, if I do this, I'll be going against the will of the Lord Sea God. But just in case..."

She gazed at Su Cheng and said calmly, "Answer a few questions, and I'll spare your life for now."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's spirits lifted, and a hint of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.

If it's possible to keep the Ring Shattering, then it's naturally better to keep it intact.

He really didn't want to resort to such methods unless absolutely necessary.

It's important to understand that once Ring Shattering, it means that he will be missing one Soul Ring forever, which will have a significant impact on his future.

As for the Ring Detonation, it's just a burst of powerful Soul Power; if you're not at a certain level, it's completely meaningless.

He needs a significant and comprehensive improvement to have the confidence to face this mysterious woman.

Moreover, it seems that the other party did not really want to kill him, otherwise there would have been no need to hold back just now.

Given the strength they've demonstrated, they clearly don't need to worry about anyone.

Even if he couldn't defeat his own High Priest Qian Daoliu, he could kill him and leave in a carefree manner, and no one would be able to track him down.

As for the opponent's previous aggressive move, Su Cheng didn't think it was anything special.

Whoever has the harder fist is right.

That's just how the world is; he had understood this long ago.

However, Bo Saixi, standing opposite him, found his overjoyed expression both novel and somewhat amusing.

The apprentice I remember was always very capable and rarely showed such an expression.

A thought flashed through her mind, but her face remained impassive as she casually asked, "Have you heard of Sea God Island?"

"Sea God Island?" Su Cheng pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "Never heard of it."

Then, tentatively, he asked, "Are you from this place called 'Sea God Island'?"

"That's right."

Bo Saixi had been watching his micro-expressions intently, and seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Su Cheng suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder I've never heard of such a person before; it turns out he's a powerful figure from overseas.

It is estimated that the other party is a peerless genius like Qian Renxue, but Qian Renxue after she has fully matured.

That's why he was able to achieve such strength at such a young age.

On the other side, Bo Saixi turned and walked away after speaking.

Noticing her movements, Su Cheng felt a sense of relief.

Judging from the other party's appearance, they were probably new to the mainland and had come to test me after hearing about my reputation. After that, there was no further follow-up.

While feeling relaxed, I also felt a sense of loss.

Although this person showed no mercy at first, he stopped short of pushing the opponent too far, demonstrating a strong sense of martial ethics.

And for some reason, I also have a strange fondness for her.

However, Su Cheng was not someone who was blinded by lust, and he would not take the initiative to ask the other party to stay. In fact, he wished that the other party could disappear from his sight as soon as possible.

Being with such a powerful individual, whose identity is questionable and whose friend or foe is hard to discern, is far too dangerous.

"Aren't you coming?" Just then, a pleasant female voice came from the side and front.

"?" Su Cheng looked over in astonishment and saw Bo Saixi standing not far away, waiting quietly.

"I told you to follow me."

"W-what?" Su Cheng forced a smile, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"You don't need to worry about it, just follow along."

As she spoke, Bo Saixi's blue eyes remained fixed on him.

Su Cheng's expression changed slightly.

If they leave this place, the price they'll have to pay to try and maneuver here won't just be one or two Soul Rings.

Bo Saixi's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately saw through his intention. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

He said calmly, "You don't need to expect those two Peak Douluo in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to rush out and save you after hearing the commotion."

"I have completely concealed the surroundings. Not to mention for a short while, even if we fight here for a whole day, no one will notice."

"So don't think you can make any use by staying here."

Su Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.

The other party actually had such methods, yet he remained completely unaware.

And with such cautious actions, is this person really as young as he appears?

Or is it actually some ancient monster that came out of nowhere and is pretending to be young?

"What? You want me to come and invite you in person?"

As she spoke, her fair right hand slowly clenched into a fist.

Seeing this, Su Cheng dared not delay any longer and quickly stepped forward, asking in a hoarse voice, "Sister, what exactly did I do to offend you?"

"Sister?" Upon hearing this address, Bo Saixi's body trembled, then she gave Su Cheng a strange look. "... In a dream."

"In a dream?"

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's face immediately darkened.

Then he sighed again.

No matter what the other party says now, he can only grit his teeth and accept it.

There's nothing we can do about insufficient strength.

"Where do you want me to go with you?"

"No need to ask any more questions, just follow along."

"My teacher—"

"If you try to use your teacher's name to intimidate me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"..."

As the two walked along the road, Bo Saixi glanced at Su Cheng beside her and casually said, "Your strength is beyond what someone your age should have. And your Soul Ring Configuration is quite unique. How did you cultivate?"

"Aren't you the same? Besides, you just said it yourself, 100,000 Year Spirit Ring is nothing special."

"Am I asking you, or are you asking me?" Bo Saixi's pretty face darkened.

Seeing this, Su Cheng quickly straightened his attitude and said seriously, "Sister, don't you understand that you've cultivated to this level? People are different. Soul Master value talent, and those with outstanding talent should naturally be far stronger than their peers."

"Talent..." Bo Saixi frowned, sighing silently in his heart.

This is not something the Su Cheng I remember would say.

Then, he continued, "However, talent is only part of the reason. I have naturally put in a lot of effort to get to where I am today."

"Otherwise, how could one obtain Soul Ring combination of this level?"

"Who is without constraints? Talent is a constraint, birth is a constraint, including the Soul Ring Configuration required for leveling up, and the various choices faced during cultivation. Any step can determine the future."

"No matter what your circumstances are, you always have to find a way to face them."

He looked at Bo Saixi and smiled, "Because I have talent, I don't need to consider such things. What I need to consider are resources, background, and even the risks that may be encountered during the cultivation process."

"As for those who lack talent, we must always think of other ways, right? There's always a way out."

"What method?" Bo Saixi glanced at Su Cheng, a meaningful look in her eyes. "Is there some other way to improve talent?"

Su Cheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to care about such things. "Probably, who knows? I don't need to think about these things."

"So, in the end, you're just talking without understanding the situation," Bo Saixi said coldly, "Because you possess cultivation conditions that ordinary people don't have."

Noticing her expression, Su Cheng was taken aback.

I don't know why the other person seems so irritable.

After thinking for a moment, he patiently said, "That's true, but only a minority of people are born to stand on high. If they want to change their fate, they naturally need to rely on their own efforts. Complaining and blaming others is useless."

"... Rely on yourself?"

"Of course I relied on myself." Su Cheng chuckled. "Otherwise, should I rely on you? Or should I pray for divine mercy? I also managed to get my first few Soul Ring on my own."

At this point, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "But speaking of which, it seems that gods really do exist in this world. The statue of the Angel God in our Spirit Hall seems to be more than just a legend."

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi's heart stirred, and she asked softly, "Then what is your opinion of that legendary Angel God from your Spirit Hall?"

"Angel God?" Su Cheng didn't take the question to heart, treating it as casual conversation.

"It was probably some extremely powerful Soul Master who, after exceeding a certain limit, considered himself a god, looking down on all living beings and making them kneel in worship."

"But no matter how much you kneel and pray, it doesn't seem to have any effect."

"The world remains the same. The strong decide everything, nobles indulge in sensual pleasures, and commoners without cultivation talent can only struggle to make ends meet."

He didn't really think there was anything wrong with saying those words.

In fact, even the Spirit Hall itself doesn't seem to have paid much attention to the existence of the legendary Angel God.

Even in terms of symbolic significance, this so-called deity is not as renowned as the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Hearing his utterly disrespectful words, Bo Saixi, who was walking beside him, turned her gaze back and fell silent for a moment. "Just as I thought."

During their conversation, the two had already walked quite a distance to the west.

They were all powerful Soul Master with considerable strength and extremely fast speed.

In just half a day, we had already passed through several cities.

As the location became increasingly remote, Su Cheng grew uneasy and couldn't help but ask again, "Where exactly are you taking me?"

"Sea God Island," Bo Saixi said directly, no longer hiding anything.

"Sea God Island? Isn't that your hometown?!" Su Cheng stopped in his tracks, astonished. "This place is overseas, isn't it?"

"That's right."

"What are you taking me there for?" He immediately stopped in his tracks.

He shook his head firmly and refused, saying, "I'm not going."

He had no desire to go to this place he had never even heard of.

The risk is just too great.

Staying on the mainland, although it comes at a price, will ultimately ensure one's safety.

If you foolishly follow them to their hideout, you'll be at their mercy.

At that point, even if they use the Ring Shattering Secret Technique and their Innate Power, they will likely find it difficult to escape.
