Qian Renxue's Shock, Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, killed in one strike.

With Soul Power already fixed, what kind of terrifying Martial Soul would be required to achieve such a feat?

Third Brother is already the cream of the crop among their generation.

But facing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, he'd likely just be instantly killed.

The more Zhu Zhuqing thought about it, the more incredible Lu Jiang's strength seemed.

Just as she thought things were over.

She suddenly heard Lu Jiang shout loudly:

"Senior hiding in the dark, since you're here, come out and show yourself."

Although Lu Jiang didn't know where the visitor was hiding, he couldn't lose the momentum.

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, someone was hiding in the dark?

When did they arrive?

As a spirit master of the agility type, she hadn't even noticed, but Lu Jiang, with only level twenty Soul Power, had?

Could it be that his Martial Soul, besides summoning, also had sensory abilities?

Under Zhu Zhuqing's astonished gaze, a slender figure slowly walked out from behind Lu Jiang.

The first glance at the person imprinted an impression of nobility in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

Her entire demeanor was like an unscalable peak.

What was going on today?

Encountering two peerless beauties in one day?

If Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, those two perverts, were here, they would have gone mad.

After walking out, Qian Renxue glanced lightly at Lu Jiang.

Yes, he really only seemed to have level ten Soul Power.

Judging by the aura emanating from him, he might be around level twenty after absorbing a Soul Ring?

But regardless of his talent, being able to kill a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast was shocking.

"Your intuition is quite sharp."

"I'm very interested in you, do you have time to chat."

Saying this, Qian Renxue glanced down at Zhu Zhuqing again before continuing:

"Just the two of us."

Zhu Zhuqing could feel that the girl before her was extremely powerful.

Her words didn't sound like a request, but more like a command to Zhu Zhuqing.

Her tone was like a divine oracle from the heavens, making it impossible to disobey.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that this was no longer a place she could stay.

Either of these two could kill her with a mere thought.

So, Zhu Zhuqing got up and said to Lu Jiang:

"Alright, I should be heading back too."

"Thank you, Senior, for your powerful assistance."

"If there's a chance in the future, Zhu Qing will definitely repay you."

Zhu Zhuqing was very clear about her position now.

Lu Jiang smiled and then said:

"You saved me first, so we're even."

Zhu Zhuqing's face showed some embarrassment. If she had known their strength earlier, she definitely wouldn't have shown herself.

She would have run as far away as possible.

After a brief farewell, Zhu Zhuqing left.

As soon as she was gone, Qian Renxue slowly walked up to Lu Jiang and looked into his eyes, saying:

"Little brother, you killed the Soul Beast I was tracking, how will you compensate me."

At this moment, Qian Renxue looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was a head taller than Lu Jiang.

She looked down at Lu Jiang from above, her hair like a golden waterfall falling onto Lu Jiang's face.

Lu Jiang couldn't help but sigh, truly worthy of the Angel Martial Soul that all girls desired.

Qian Renxue's face was like a work of art meticulously carved by an angel, captivating anyone who saw it.

"Cough, cough. You say I did? What proof do you have?"

Lu Jiang coughed twice and quickly pulled himself out from under Qian Renxue.

to make himself seem less awkward.

Seeing Lu Jiang's pure expression, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle.

She then explained:

"Because of my Martial Soul, I can only absorb light-attribute Soul Rings."

"That Ten Thousand Year Bright Dragon God Butterfly was one I drove out of its nest."

"I originally intended to follow it to find their settlement and capture a higher-level Soul Beast."

"Instead, my bait was eaten by you. How do you plan to compensate me?"

A hint of teasing appeared on Qian Renxue's noble and cold face.

This piqued Lu Jiang's interest.

"How about I offer myself as compensation?"

"Since I'm already a homeless wanderer, it doesn't matter where I sleep."

Qian Renxue was a little surprised. Homeless?

For a peerless genius like him, what major family wouldn't treasure him and secretly nurture him, fearing other families would find out?

And yet, he was homeless?

Qian Renxue glanced at the black Soul Ring in the sky, strengthening her guess.

This person could easily kill a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, he must be extraordinary.

So, she said to Lu Jiang:

"Alright. Come to the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Mansion and find a friend of mine."

"He is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he will take care of you."

Lu Jiang immediately understood upon hearing this.

Isn't that Xue Qinghe? Anyone who had read the original work knew it was him playing a role.

"A friend of mine."

That kind of talk was long outdated.

However, Lu Jiang didn't expose him. He just hastily agreed.

Then he said to Qian Renxue:

"Perfect timing, I need to absorb this Soul Ring to advance now."

"You can help me guard me."

After speaking, Lu Jiang walked towards the Soul Ring that had fallen earlier.

Qian Renxue was astonished.

Who was he to dare ask the Young Hall Master of the Martial Soul Hall to guard him?

Wait, he was going to absorb that Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring????

Qian Renxue just realized.

Since the Douluo Continent was born until now, no one had ever had a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as their first Soul Ring.

Even a centipede dies hard.

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, even after death, would leave violent Soul Power within its Soul Ring.

To resist this power, one would need to be at least level fifty.

Her own first Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was obtained when she broke through to Soul King.

Could his body withstand it, having a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his first?

"Wait, are you trying to die!"

Qian Renxue tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Lu Jiang had already started absorbing the Soul Ring, and once absorption began, it could not be interrupted unless it failed.

No matter how much Qian Renxue hated to see a genius perish, she could only wait by the side, with no other option.

At this moment, after Lu Jiang absorbed the Bright Dragon God Butterfly's Soul Ring, he immediately felt a violent surge of Soul Power trying to tear him apart.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have likely exploded and died already.

"System, is this going to be alright?"

Lu Jiang asked his system in his mind.

Then, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

[Ding! Your body is very special and does not belong to this world.]

[In the Honkai: Star Rail world, you could even absorb a Star Core, so there's no need to worry.]

With the system's endorsement, Lu Jiang felt more confident.

"Behave yourself!"

The violent Soul Power was transformed within his body and gradually calmed down.

Then, a black Soul Ring slowly rose from his feet.

Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, absorption successful!
