Choice

The training ground inside the Spirit Hall Academy.

When the Angel Descent, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of awe welling up from the depths of their hearts.

That's a perfectly normal physiological instinct when ordinary people first encounter something extraordinary beyond their comprehension.

They were all outstanding young talents with exceptional abilities. They had seen many Titled Douluo and witnessed the formidable strength of the powerful elders in Spirit City, knowing just how terrifying those top-tier Soul Master were.

However, they had never witnessed the power of "God".

At this moment, Qian Renxue's aura was already comparable to that of Second-Level God.

Its presence is so strong that it is as unique as the blazing sun high in the sky, and no other light source can rival its brilliance.

Faced with such an extremely powerful and terrifying force, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well seeing the vastness of the blue sky; their fear was indescribable.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Suppressing the stinging pain in her eyes that threatened to bring tears, she silently gazed at the tall, radiant figure suspended in mid-air, as dazzling as the sun.

Qian Renxue spread her wings of light behind her and looked at the black-clad girl trembling slightly in the crowd with her eyes shrouded in white light.

With just that one glance, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she had been struck by lightning amidst the entanglement of their auras.

The faint White Tiger phantom behind her shattered instantly, exploding into patches of blood mist, and a mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth.

At this point, Qian Renxue calmed down.

Apart from his bright white eyes, whose expression was obscured, his facial features remained completely unchanged.

Even the surging Killing Intent that had been so palpable just moments before had vanished.

Her arm was outstretched forward, the long sword pointing straight at the black-clad girl who was spitting blood.

The flames on the blade burned even more intensely.

"Qian Renxue, what are you doing?!"

The next moment, several shouts of shock and anger rang out in succession.

They are the teachers at the college.

Qian Renxue moved so fast that she disappeared from their sight in just a few flashes.

Even though the lowest-ranking among them possessed the Soul Saint level, they arrived here a moment late.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue did not have the intention or ability to conceal her presence; otherwise, these teachers would probably have had no way of knowing where she had gone.

"Qian Renxue, calm down first. We can talk about it when Elder Su arrives." This was the response from an ordinary academy teacher who was unaware of the truth.

"Young Master, what are you doing? Where is the High Priest Elder?" The one who said this was a direct descendant of the Qian Family the Spirit Hall.

"Miss Zhu Zhuqing is His Holiness the Pope's personal disciple, Qian Renxue, you must not act rashly." This person is Soul Master from the Pope's Palace faction.

"Qian Renxue..."

"Young Master..."

"Shut up."

Qian Renxue tilted her head, and with a few words from her red lips, she uttered cold words.

The gaze hidden behind the white light seemed to sweep over the crowd behind them.

As the breath swept by, all the teachers in the academy were instantly rendered speechless, as if they had been choked.

"... Snow, Sister Xue..."

At that moment, Feng Qingyu, who was not far ahead, suppressed the intense fear in her heart and whispered in a trembling voice, "Teacher, Teacher is still with His Holiness the Pope..."

Qian Renxue glanced at the other person but ignored them.

She knew this person; he was Su Cheng's newly accepted disciple, who came from one of the academies in the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, based on the numerous scenes we saw not long ago, it is clear that her relationship with Su Cheng is indeed just that of a master and disciple.

Since that's the case, she no longer had any intention of attacking him.

Of course, there's no interest in giving these weeds any face.

Zhu Zhuqing is her only target.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Qian Renxue's gaze paused slightly as she noticed the beautiful girl with red hair.

"Elder Su and Zhu Zhuqing went on another date..."

Although she could only see images but not hear any sounds from the previous perspective of the sun, it should be something like that.

This guy has a very talkative mouth.

In the blink of an eye, a wisp of his aura locked onto Huo Wu.

A faint, illusory image of the sun flashed in Huo Wu's eyes.

The terrifying gloom that Zhu Zhuqing had just experienced also clouded her mind.

The next moment, the beautiful and flamboyant red-haired girl collapsed to the ground, her whole body drenched in sweat, which quickly soaked through her clothes.

At the same time, he was making heavy, panting sounds, and his face instantly turned bluish-purple.

It was a suffocating feeling caused by intense fear, making even breathing extremely difficult.

Upon seeing this scene, Feng Xiaotian was shocked and furious. He forcibly suppressed his fear and was about to step forward, trying his best to mobilize the stagnant and sluggish Soul Power in his body.

But then someone else grabbed his sleeve tightly.

He turned around and saw Feng Qingyu shaking her head at him anxiously.

Her beautiful eyes were full of pleading, signaling him not to act rashly.

At this time, you absolutely must not go up and cause trouble, and you must not say a single unnecessary word.

Huo Wu was just frightened; the other party had no intention of killing her.

But if Feng Xiaotian insists on stepping forward, it will be like adding fuel to the fire. At that point, they might actually be killed!

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian also came to his senses. His impulsiveness receded like the tide, turning into a wave of lingering fear.

Once he calmed down, he nodded gratefully to Feng Qingyu, who then released his hand.

During this process, Qian Renxue seemed not to notice their little interaction and didn't even glance at them.

Only now did these young Soul Master truly realize just how terrifying Qian Renxue was.

Forget about Martial Soul Fusion Skill or Self-Created Soul Skill, even Soul Power is difficult to mobilize, and Martial Soul cannot be released at all.

That's the difference between humans and gods, an insurmountable chasm.

Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul has already entered the threshold of God-level Martial Soul. Coupled with the special nature of her own domain and the profound meaning of her Martial Soul, she was able to circulate her Soul Power and barely manage to hold her own against Qian Renxue.

But the other young Soul Master clearly did not possess this ability.

He could only look with worry at the black-clad girl facing the Divine Might.

In fact, not to mention them, even the academy teachers who possessed Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo cultivation levels were suppressed and unable to move by the powerful force field enveloping the inner courtyard.

After all, when it comes to sheer strength, they are still no match for Zhu Zhuqing.

Feng Qingyu lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Qian Renxue again.

Her intuition was astounding; she could sense that, although the other party appeared calm and collected, the terrifying Killing Intent that had previously been so overwhelming was gone.

But in reality, beneath the calm surface of the sea lies a raging torrent of magma.

It could erupt at any moment and burn everything.

However, at this moment, Qian Renxue seemed to be waiting for something.

Even though his heart was burning with Killing Intent, he restrained himself and did not rush to make a move.

"Don't you want to say something? What's going on between you and Su Cheng?"

Qian Renxue finally spoke.

The voice was as clear and sharp as the clash of metal.

"..."

"I'll give you a chance to explain. Tell me about your relationship with him. Tell me you have no feelings for him. Then promise me that from now on you will stay far away from him and go back to your Star Luo Empire. I can let you go today."

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent throughout Qian Renxue's questioning.

Behind her perfectly curvaceous body, long, dark red hair flew wildly, like a blood-stained banner fluttering in the wind.

Her eyes had also become clouded with a layer of blood mist, flashing with a faint fierce light.

A low, whirring sound came from beside me.

It sounded like a howling wind, or a low growl of a tiger.

This is both her own indomitable will and the fighting instinct from the Hell White Tiger.

Even in the face of utter despair, even in her dying struggle, she would never bow her head.

Just like the name of her sixth Soul Skill — Blood Battle.

"..."

Qian Renxue stopped talking.

His bright white eyes narrowed slightly, and the anger and jealousy in his heart surged even more.

But she still showed no intention of making a move.

Although her special state, like Su Cheng's second stage of Longevity True Body, cannot last for long.

However, Qian Renxue and Su Cheng's situations are different.

She didn't just have a certain state of being boosted; she truly underwent a qualitative change from the inside out.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for Qian Renxue.

The benefits are obvious; starting today, she has undergone a fundamental transformation at the level of her life.

If you were to look inside Qian Renxue at this moment, you would find that not only is there a powerful, blazing white energy flowing through her body like a beam of light, but even her meridians, bones, and muscle fibers are now tinged with a blazing white luster.

The Blazing Sun Power has become one with her entire body, blood, and soul.

Even the soul itself radiated a blazing white light from within.

It is conceivable that even after her twin souls separate again, their essence will be completely different from before.

As long as they continue to cultivate and improve step by step, they will eventually be able to realize this potential as real strength.

However, it is still difficult to predict how this transformation will ultimately manifest itself.

However, this situation is not without its downsides.

Once this period passes and she falls from her current powerful state, it will be difficult for her to regain this level of strength, comparable to Second-Level God, in a short period of time.

These accumulated potentials will need to be realized gradually through continuous practice in the future.

But in fact, Qian Renxue originally had the opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

In the Douluo Hall, at the moment when she fully resonated with the Blazing Sun Beyond the Heavens.

The Sun Power had been continuously flowing into her body.

Her will, her soul, were constantly assimilated by this power and realm that far surpassed that of ordinary people at that time.

That is an irresistible temptation for any living being: to become stronger, to evolve, and even to live forever.

If things continue like that, once a certain critical point is reached, she will either be burned to ashes by the scorching Sun Power, turning into nothingness, or she will transcend the world and become the embodiment of the sun walking among humans.

However, it was just a moment's lapse in judgment; her intense obsession and surging emotions ultimately freed her from that strange state.

Although they lost the chance to rise to the top overnight, they retained their emotions and will as "human beings".

Qian Renxue stared at Zhu Zhuqing with her eyes shrouded in white light, "Don't worry, I won't kill you directly. I'll make sure you die knowing why..."

Her voice lowered, "Or let me die knowing why."

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the woman suspended in mid-air directly in front of her, and turned her head to look in the direction of the Pope Mountain.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the other person's expression, which had never changed since they appeared, seemed to flicker slightly.

To be precise, it was the corners of her mouth that seemed to curve into an almost imperceptible, faint arc.

However, there was not a trace of laughter in his eyes; instead, he was filled with indescribable pain.

Or perhaps it's reluctance to part?

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't see clearly and found it difficult to understand.

The next moment, a dazzling, transparent sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor, followed by a series of loud sonic booms.

Another being with the strength of a Second-Level God!

It was Su Cheng who arrived here.

Behind him followed Bibi Dong, the Pope the Spirit Hall, who moved much slower.

Of course, the others did not understand the specific division of God-level strength, but could only feel that both Qian Renxue and Su Cheng were equally terrifyingly powerful, far exceeding the limits that Soul Master could imagine.

It's a long story, but in reality, from the moment Qian Renxue appeared until Su Cheng arrived, she only exchanged two short sentences with Zhu Zhuqing.

"Xiao Xue, no!"

"... It's finally here."

Qian Renxue sighed softly.

Then, he raised the broadsword in his hand, his wings fluttered slightly, and he thrust the sword out without hesitation.

Flames burned on the blade, their temperature so high that even the surrounding space seemed to distort slightly.

This sword strike incorporates all the power she can muster, and will also unleash all that power—the powerful force that she obtained from the sun, but which does not truly belong to her.

Then, she will fall from her current God-level strength and become an ordinary human with twin souls.

This means that once the sword is thrust out, even she herself will find it difficult to control the subsequent course of events.

Faced with this one-way sword strike, Su Cheng, who had just arrived, had only two choices.

Or perhaps they would draw their swords to intercept.

With the strength he has demonstrated so far, he is capable of doing so.

However, this would cause all the Sun Power attached to the lightsaber to erupt directly.

Therefore, the backlash she would suffer would undoubtedly reduce her to ashes, given her current Qian Renxue state and the fact that her body is just beginning to transform, ultimately leading to her death.

Or perhaps they should stand by and watch, allowing her to successfully deliver the blow.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was completely locked down and had nowhere to escape, was doomed to die!

Come on, teacher/ Su Cheng...

Let me see, will you choose me or her?

If I am superfluous.

If my presence makes you uncomfortable.

Then it would be better to just die.

He died from his own attack.

That way, you won't feel guilty or regretful; this was my choice all along.

A boring, meaningless life, ending like this isn't so bad.
