Divine Will of the Blazing Sun

Su Cheng walked straight into the Spirit City Academy.

The conversation he had had in the Pope's Palace kept replaying in his mind.

It wasn't just about Zhu Zhuqing; Bibi Dong's own words, actions, and attitude also made him somewhat uneasy.

Actually, Su Cheng is having trouble figuring out Bibi Dong's true thoughts.

She has clearly changed ever since the group returned from the Slaughter City.

Of course, this change is normal and not difficult to understand.

The hidden dangers of Rakshasa Divine Power affecting the soul and mind were completely suppressed. The massive amount of negative emotions that had accumulated deep in the soul over the past decades were purified, and those dark and crazy obsessions were gone.

Now, she truly looks like a good Pope, a good mother, and a good teacher.

Not only does he handle things with ease and treat people with gentle kindness, but he also always puts Qian Renxue, his "blemished" biological child, first and foremost.

Having lost much ambition and desire, he no longer vied for or fought for power in the Spirit Hall.

But what exactly is her attitude towards herself?

As for what kind of feelings he should have towards her, Su Cheng himself couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps it would be nice to continue getting along in this kind of "friends" relationship.

The world in the Simulation is ultimately just a dream, a world that seems both real and unreal...

"Greetings, Elder Su."

"Elder Su, you've arrived."

"Elder Su..."

As he walked through the academy, many teachers greeted him, while most students watched him from afar with curious eyes, not daring to approach.

Although Su Cheng is the elder in charge of the academy's affairs, he has actually visited this place very few times, even fewer than Qian Renxue has spent here. He hasn't even seen all the students in the academy.

However, this is actually the norm for the elders of the Spirit Hall.

Apart from elders like Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who are directly under the Pope's Palace and are usually busy with tasks, most elders live in seclusion and strive to improve their strength and cultivation.

These people are all older and don't have a strong desire for power. Otherwise, they could go out and serve as the Hall Master of the Martial Soul Temple and act arrogantly, instead of hiding in Spirit City.

Especially after obtaining the first two volumes of the Innate Skill, the level bottleneck that had plagued these Titled Douluo for many years began to loosen, and they naturally focused more on cultivation.

Moreover, the instructors in the academy are at least Soul Saint level, more than capable of teaching these students, so there is no need for Su Cheng to personally intervene.

The internal operations had long been established, so he didn't need to interfere much.

Su Cheng nodded to the others in return as he strode deeper into the academy.

Soon, he followed his senses and arrived inside the academy, where he saw Zhu Zhuqing with Shui Bing'er, Feng Qingyu, and others.

However, she did not participate in the chatter; she simply stood alone at a distance, lost in thought.

They didn't even notice Su Cheng getting close.

"Elder Su."

"Teacher."

"..."

Su Cheng nodded to the group, then looked at the black-clad girl who had turned her head away and ignored him.

"Zhu Zhuqing, are you free? If not, come with me for a bit."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing gently bit her lower lip, intending to ignore Su Cheng.

But recalling her earlier conversation with Bibi Dong, she hesitated for a moment before coming to Su Cheng's side.

She looked preoccupied.

With her eyes lowered, long eyelashes obscuring her bright black eyes, she said softly, "Is there something you need?"

Su Cheng glanced at her, then swept his gaze over the peering eyes around him.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't answer immediately, but instead said, "Let's go outside and talk."

After saying that, he turned and walked outside.

After taking a couple of steps, seeing that Zhu Zhuqing hesitated and didn't follow immediately, he urged her again, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at him silently for a moment, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she just sighed and followed him out of the academy.

After the two left, Huo Wu nudged the silver-haired girl's arm and teased, "Qing Yu, wouldn't you consider her your master's wife?"

"Master's wife?" Before Feng Qingyu could answer, Xue Wu exclaimed in a low voice, "You mean Elder Su and Zhu Zhuqing..."

At the same time, Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and the others all cast surprised glances at them.

Now, Xie Yue and the others have left the Spirit Hall Academy and are heading to the Slaughter City for training.

While the other contestants in the previous Spirit Master Competition were certainly strong, they were older and their talent was not top-tier.

As a result, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and Feng Qingyu became the most talented students in the academy.

Together with other students from the Element Academy who were close to them, as well as Dugu Yan, who also came from an external academy and had received special care from Su Cheng, they naturally formed a small circle.

"Huo Wu, don't talk nonsense. If Qian Renxue hears you, you'll be in big trouble."

Standing not far away, Dugu Yan frowned and quickly offered a reminder.

She didn't know the situation between Su Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing, but she knew that he and Qian Renxue were definitely in a romantic relationship.

Moreover, unlike these clueless newcomers, she was quite clear about that person's sore spot and how unscrupulous he was in his actions.

"I'm not making this up."

Huo Wu, with her Huo Wu personality, naturally didn't want to be questioned for no reason, so she quickly began to explain.

"We witnessed it firsthand at the Godwind Academy; they were clearly very affectionate."

Upon hearing this, Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, instantly seeing a strong sense of gossip in each other's eyes.

They weren't originally very curious people.

However, this matter involves three young prodigies— Su Cheng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Qian Renxue— who are also important figures in the Spirit Hall, making it significantly different.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

"What's the meaning?"

Xue Wu quickly pressed for more information.

As the first academy Su Cheng visited, he stayed at the Godwind Academy for a relatively long time and did a lot of work there. However, when he went to the Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy later, he didn't have to put in much effort because of the Godwind Academy's endorsement and the presence of Huo Wushuang and others who accompanied him.

The exchanges and negotiations were all conducted in the Education Committee of those two colleges, with discussions taking place with the college's senior management.

The rest of the time, he spent most of his time traveling and sightseeing with Zhu Zhuqing, and didn't spend much time with these young Soul Master.

Although everyone returned to Spirit City together, Zhu Zhuqing had a cold personality and Young Master to get close to Su Cheng in front of outsiders.

Su Cheng was busy explaining the situation in Spirit City to them, which meant that Shui Bing'er and others who joined the team later were not really aware of the ambiguous relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Su Cheng.

After Xue Wu asked the question, Dugu Yan didn't stop her anymore. Besides not wanting to offend her classmates, she was also very curious.

"Huo Wu, let's not talk about this anymore."

Feng Qingyu felt uneasy and didn't want to continue the conversation.

"What are you afraid of? I don't think your teacher is trying to avoid it."

"Sigh, it's not the teacher's fault, it's that Sister Xue."

"Then it's even less of a problem. What we're talking about has nothing to do with her." Huo Wu waved her hand dismissively. "Besides, we've both joined the Spirit Hall Academy and become members of the Spirit Hall now. Can't we even chat casually?"

She didn't actually have a very good impression of Qian Renxue.

When she first arrived in Spirit City that day, the other party's arrogant attitude had a significant impact on her.

It wasn't contempt, nor hostility, but utter disregard.

It's as if they're just roadside weeds or something, not even worth a second glance.

At the Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu has always been the Heaven's Proud Daughter of her peers, with Feng Xiaotian, a devoted admirer, always by her side.

How could anyone feel comfortable being treated like this?

However, since I was new to the area at the time, I didn't dare to express my dissatisfaction.

As time went by, I've adapted to life here and discovered that apart from being more powerful, the Spirit Hall is essentially no different from other forces.

There were no excessive rules, and things were handled fairly. The teachers in the college treated all the outside students the same, so there were naturally not many concerns.

Feng Xiaotian Huo Wushuang exchanged wry smiles, clearly unable to do anything about Huo Wu.

In addition, other people were also curious about this matter, and soon they started discussing it in a few words.

There are three buildings on Pope Mountain, overlooking the entire Spirit City.

The Elder Hall is located deep within the Pope's Palace and is difficult to see from the foot of the mountain.

At the top of the hill stands another palace, only one-third the size of the Pope's Palace. Its surface is as white as jade, and although its appearance is not eye-catching, it has a very strong presence.

This is the Douluo Hall.

From the day the Spirit Hall was built, no matter where the Pope's Palace was built, the Douluo Hall would be built alongside it, and the location of the Douluo Hall would always be higher than that of the Pope's Palace.

In the center of the Douluo Hall stands a ten-meter-tall statue made entirely of shimmering gold, with three pairs of wings unfurled on its back and a huge golden sword held aloft, pointing straight to the sky.

Around that golden sword, there seemed to be a faint layer of golden flames burning and swirling.

In fact, there is a similar statue in the Elder Hall, but the two statues give people completely different feelings.

The Angel God Statue in the Douluo Hall is as lifelike as a peerless powerhouse in slumber.

The golden plaques bearing the titles of hundreds of Titled Douluo around them all slept peacefully under the suppression of its aura.

During major festivals, the Pope of the Spirit Hall would personally go to the Douluo Hall gate to offer sacrifices.

Legend has it that this is the burial place of Titled Douluo, and no one, including the Pope, has the right to enter the Douluo Hall before death.

But legends are just legends, and at this moment there were two living people in the Douluo Hall.

One of them wasn't even Titled Douluo yet.

Qian Renxue sat quietly in front of the huge Angel God Statue in the center of the Douluo Hall, her smooth golden hair cascading down her back to the ground.

Even though she was cultivating, her posture was not upright.

His upright back leans against the front of the statue's base, and he looks relaxed and at ease.

His right leg was straight and long, without a single flaw, while his left leg was bent and propped up, casually resting on his left arm.

Beneath her right hand, she rested her head on a golden longsword, which was surrounded by flames of gold and silver.

However, the burning flames emitted neither heat nor caused any damage to the ground; they seemed to be nothing more than a faint illusion.

In his left hand, he held a ball of white light that resembled flowing water, with faint traces of other colors swirling within it.

Behind her, six enormous wings stretched out, interwoven with three different lusters: brilliant gold, silver-gray, and pure white.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was not in a normal Martial Soul Avatar state, but was directly using her Martial Soul Avatar.

The Martial Soul Avatar is not rare; what is frightening is the time it takes to use it.

Logically speaking, even with her current accumulation of Soul Power and profound foundation, the consumption of Soul Power when using the Martial Soul Avatar would be extremely large.

Even without using any Soul Skill, simply maintaining this state will completely deplete Soul Power within three days.

But in fact, she has maintained this state for more than a week.

Moreover, he looked relaxed and at ease, without any sign of fatigue.

That exquisitely beautiful face was expressionless at the moment, her long, narrow phoenix eyes half-open, gazing at the sky, but not focused.

His indifferent gaze seemed to pierce through the dome, looking out into the clear sky.

The pupils of those two eyes were different colors; the left eye was pitch black and the right eye was a brilliant gold, making them look both sacred and sinister.

However, deep within both pupils, the exact same scene seemed to be reflected.

That was the sun's shadow.

That enormous fireball, hanging high in the sky and burning fiercely, was extremely powerful and incredibly strong.

Its light shines above the nine heavens, its might is awe-inspiring beneath the four seas. All things live because of it, and all things fear its death.

When the heavens and earth shine brightly, the grass and trees flourish All Things Flourish light.

Its power is so intense that nothing can stop it, even if it pierces through clouds and melts gold.

It is precisely because it is strong enough that it can be upright and impartial.

There is no reference point more suitable for her path than the blazing sun high in the sky.

Where light shines, darkness has nowhere to hide.

"To substitute one's own heart for the heart of Heaven, and to determine the way of humanity based on the way of Heaven..."

The techniques of the Azure Underworld Transformation flowed through Qian Renxue's heart.

However, compared to the initial version that Su Cheng taught her, the current operational route of the technique has undergone significant changes.

Qian Renxue's situation is special, and Su Cheng can only provide her with theoretical support.

Having cultivated to this level, truly reaching the final step of integration, it all depends on her own efforts.

In Qian Renxue's left hand, the strange luster within the pale white light was slowly dissolving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Instead, a blazing white light, like the midday sun, filled the air.

She was able to achieve what she has today thanks in no small part to the condensed divine power of the First-Level God, the Angel God.

The ball of light in her hand was essentially the product of the fusion of the melted bones of the Angel Divine Armor with her own energy.

Angel God Power actually possess a very small amount of Sun Power.

Qian Renxue, who possessed the memories of becoming a god, was fully aware of this.

There is even Angel God skill of an angel, named Sun True Fire.

However, compared to the true Sun Power, the Angel God Power is far inferior.

The reason Qian Renxue chose to come to the Douluo Hall for secluded cultivation was because the Angel God's Inheritance space was hidden there, which could provide her with considerable benefits.
