Qian Renxue Thought She Could Do It Again (Please Keep Reading)

Su Cheng's scorching fingertips touched cool skin, and both of them trembled lightly at the same time.

Su Cheng felt as though he were touching a piece of warm, soft jade, its faint elasticity resisting his fingers' further pressure.

As his fingers, carrying traces of Soul Power, slowly brushed across her skin, a layer of fine goosebumps rose over Qian Renxue's fair, flat abdomen, flushing it crimson. The breaths she tried so hard to suppress grew slightly more hurried.

After passing over her small, rounded navel, his fingertips continued sliding upward.

The clear lines of her abs extended into the smooth curves of her waist, reaching the delicate hollows above her hips and forming a perfect arc.

Perhaps the medicinal liquid had begun to take effect. A few threads of warmth came from the girl's originally cool skin, stirring Su Cheng's heart.

Forcing down the distracting thoughts in his mind, he flicked silver needles from his palm and, guided by Soul Power, accurately inserted them into the Five Shu Points of the Dai Meridian.

"Mm..."

A soft, melodious moan escaped the girl's lips.

Su Cheng's brow twitched faintly.

"Calm your mind. Don't let your thoughts wander."

Qian Renxue's lovely face flushed crimson. She felt as though his fingers possessed some kind of magic. Though they only touched her lightly, they sent her thoughts drifting and her imagination racing.

Su Cheng was not having an easy time either.

Though he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil, and he was finding it difficult to restrain himself.

No matter how strong his will was, he had never experienced anything like this before.

Even with his eyes covered, the sensation at his fingertips, the distracting thoughts in his mind, and even the orchid-like, musk-like fragrance carried by the scorching breath from across from him were all immense tests of his self-control.

With each needle that went in, Qian Renxue's Physical Body potential was continuously awakened. Her Meridians expanded, and pain pierced through her body.

Yet all those intense sensory stimuli were completely overwhelmed by another strange sensation.

A slick dampness spread between her legs, accompanied by an odd sense of satisfaction and, somehow, a little emptiness...

Su Cheng stood outside the dungeon, looking up at the azure sky overhead, feeling that his current mental state was not good at all.

"..."

Then he raised his hand. "...Slap!"

After fiercely slapping himself across the face, he found that he had calmed down considerably.

"Su Cheng, control yourself. You have to keep your distance from her!"

After warning himself, he began worrying about Qian Renxue, who was currently underground absorbing her Soul Ring.

Under normal circumstances, her current foundation should have been enough to withstand the spiritual impact of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

But given the state she had been in just now, it was hard to say whether something unexpected might happen.

After waiting like this for several hours, Su Cheng, whose emotions had completely settled, suddenly heard a pained groan from underground.

His expression changed, and he hurried back into the dungeon.

Yet when he saw the scene before him, he could not help but freeze.

The figure ahead was radiating brilliant golden light. A pair of long, broad white wings spread from behind her back, then curved around to the front and closed over her chest, completely protecting her within.

"An External Soul Bone?!"

After Qian Renxue summoned her Martial Soul, a pair of wings would normally grow from her body. But those were merely an additional effect of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and had nothing to do with Soul Bones.

According to her, as a God-level Martial Soul, Soul Masters who awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul possessed innate flight and extreme-speed abilities, growing a new pair of wings every thirty levels.

Upon reaching the Titled Douluo level, they would possess the complete six-winged form.

But the pair of wings protecting Qian Renxue now was clearly different from the pair Su Cheng had seen before.

They were larger in form, far more imposing, and their roots sat higher on her back.

"How is that possible..."

The appearance of this External Soul Bone had completely exceeded his expectations.

Logically speaking, Holy Light Beasts were gentle by nature. According to the theory that Soul Beasts with deeper resentment were more likely to produce Soul Bones, a Soul Beast like this should have almost no chance of yielding an External Soul Bone even after being killed and having its Soul Ring absorbed.

"Interesting. Is it a matter of compatibility..."

Su Cheng felt as though he had gained a new inspiration.

This pair of External Soul Bones was highly significant and worth studying. If he could roughly understand the reason behind it, perhaps he might have a chance to obtain one in the future as well.

Of course, more importantly, with this pair of Soul Bones, Qian Renxue's future combat strength would undoubtedly receive an enormous boost.

Seeing that her progress was smooth and that the Soul Ring absorption was nearing its end, Su Cheng relaxed. He did not leave the dungeon again, instead turning his back and waiting patiently for it to finish.

Another half hour passed before Qian Renxue's slightly excited voice finally sounded from behind him.

"Teacher, did you see it?"

As the Young Master of Spirit Hall, and having read countless theoretical books, she naturally recognized an External Soul Bone and knew what a rare opportunity it was.

At the same time, she summoned her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, now bearing its Fourth Soul Ring. Framed by five pairs of wings that flickered between illusion and reality, she looked even more holy.

"Very good." Su Cheng turned around at her words and praised, "With this pair of External Soul Bones, whether in cultivation or battle, they will greatly benefit you in the future. As for how to use them specifically, we will need to conduct further research."

"I understand."

Qian Renxue looked at Su Cheng and recalled their earlier intimate contact. A blush once more rose to her face, and a strange thrill surfaced from deep within her heart.

She hurriedly steadied herself and calmed her emotions, while doing her best to conceal the expression on her face as she stepped over to Su Cheng's side.

After absorbing this Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Qian Renxue's figure seemed to have changed slightly again. She had grown a little taller.

Standing before Su Cheng, she looked only about a head shorter than him.

She gently clenched her fist, feeling powerful strength flow through and around her body.

What followed was intense confidence.

A sly smile appeared at the corner of her lips as she looked at Su Cheng. "Teacher, shall we go to the Martial Arts Arena for a spar?"

Before advancing to Soul Ancestor, she had not possessed the slightest confidence that she could defeat this teacher whose Soul Power was nearly ten levels below hers.

But now, with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, a Fourth Soul Skill that was exceptionally compatible with her, and a pair of External Soul Bones, she refused to believe she still could not win.

More importantly, Qian Daoliu had previously explained the principles and flaws of Su Cheng's set of Self-Created Soul Skills to her in broad terms. He had also told her that as one's cultivation rose, the difference in combat strength between Soul Masters of different realms would only grow greater.

After absorbing her Fourth Soul Ring, Su Cheng would definitely not be her match in battle alone.

Seeing the confident Qian Renxue before him, Su Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I remember that when we fought for the first time, we made a wager. I didn't mention any stakes back then."

"Fine. This time, I'll let you name the stakes too."

Qian Renxue agreed readily.

At this moment, she was clearly fully confident that she could wash away her earlier humiliation.

Su Cheng curled his lip at that and turned toward the dungeon exit.

He happened to have a new idea for developing a Soul Skill, and he had originally planned to test it out after Qian Renxue advanced anyway.

After thinking it over, I decided to keep the opening part restrained and not write it too excessively. Once the story goes premium, I can consider making a group-only side story.
