Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil — Chapter 49

By now, this blond-haired guy had sweet-talked her so thoroughly that he could take her away with just a crook of his finger.

"Alright, I promise you. In half a month, I'll be able to return to Heaven Dou City once. I'll come find you then."

After making the arrangement with Dugu Yan,

Qian Renxin rode atop the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, while Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong sat before and behind him.

Qian Renxue had gotten along quite well with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger by now. She called it Xiao An with great familiarity and often grabbed its head to steer its flight.

After traveling for roughly half a month,

they arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest near the Heaven Dou Empire.

"By the way, what age Soul Ring does Xiao Xue need?"

Bibi Dong raised a question. "Based on the normal absorption limit for a Soul Elder, she should absorb a Soul Ring of around seventeen hundred years. But Xiao Xue has been aided by Immortal Herbs and Whale Rubber, so she clearly can't be judged by the standards of ordinary Soul Masters."

Hunting the Sacred Spirit Deer, an Unexpected Small Fortune

"At present, Xiao Xue should be able to absorb a four-thousand-year Soul Ring. Her later Soul Rings will also gradually increase in age as her earlier Soul Rings strengthen."

Qian Renxin spoke calmly.

His second Soul Ring alone had already been over six thousand years old.

After all, he had Innate Level Thirty, two great ice-and-fire Immortal Herbs, and the assistance of his first Soul Ring.

Although Qian Renxue had Immortal Herbs and Whale Rubber, she was still somewhat inferior to him. Being able to challenge Soul Rings more than twice the normal age limit for ordinary Soul Masters was already her limit.

"Four thousand years... I actually feel that this number is a little low for a Soul Elder now..."

Ling Yuan said with a smile.

After witnessing Qian Renxin's earth-shattering feats, even a Soul Ring age that had already surpassed a Soul Master's limits seemed somewhat shabby.

Qian Renxue tugged at Qian Renxin's hand.

"Brother, I also want purple first and second Soul Rings. Yellow ones don't look good. If I'd known, I shouldn't have listened to Grandpa..."

Her first two Soul Rings had both been under a thousand years old. The first was over seven hundred years, while the second was over nine hundred years.

In truth, if Spirit Hall had fed Qian Renxue some precious medicines, she definitely could have absorbed two purple Soul Rings.

However, Qian Daoliu felt that there was no need. In any case, Deity Assessments could increase the age of her Soul Rings in the future. Even hundred-year Soul Rings could be raised to ten-thousand-year ones by then, making them not much different from purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

Therefore, there was no need to make Qian Renxue take risks or consume precious medicines early and exhaust her potential.

"It's fine. Once you complete the Angel Assessment, the assessment rewards will help increase the age of your Soul Rings."

Qian Renxin rubbed her golden hair. "By then, forget purple Soul Rings—even black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings will be easy."

As he spoke,

he took out a square Soul Tool from his pocket, with a button on top.

This was a Soul Tool bought from the Heaven Dou Auction House. It could produce sound waves that attracted Spirit Beasts, spreading within a radius of a thousand meters. It was most effective against Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts.

The most troublesome part of hunting Soul Beasts was finding them, so this Soul Tool had not come cheap. It had cost a full sixty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

After activating the sound waves,

the group headed toward the mixed region of the forest.

Quite a few Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts were drawn over along the way.

Qian Renxin did not immediately begin slaughtering them. They needed to find a suitable light-attribute Soul Beast, otherwise it would not be compatible with Qian Renxue's Six-winged Angel Martial Soul.

After spending roughly half a month,

no suitable light-attribute Soul Beast had been attracted.

Just then,

an elk about two meters long was drawn over by the Soul Tool's sound waves. It had pristine white antlers, and its fur was entirely snow-white except for a ring of black around its hooves.

It stared blankly at the Soul Tool in Qian Renxin's hand, seeming to lower its head in thought as it wondered what the thing was.

"A Sacred Spirit Deer. Looks like our luck is pretty good."

Yue Guan smiled as he recognized the Soul Beast. "As the representative of sacred deer-type Soul Beasts, its light attribute is stronger than that of most Soul Beasts. Its age is suitable as well, and the Second Young Lady can absorb it."

"Leave it to me!"

Without another word, Qian Renxin raised the God-Demon Giant Sword above his head.

Hunting a four-thousand-year Soul Beast was absurdly easy for him.

A Soul Beast of this age could originally only fight Soul Masters at the Soul Ancestor level.

Purple, Purple, Black!

His first Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

Then Qian Renxin vanished from where he stood, Teleporting directly before the Sacred Spirit Deer.

The God-Demon Giant Sword, weighing more than two thousand jin, sliced through the air as it crashed down.

This strike was incomparably heavy. Even a Spirit King could not take it head-on with their body alone. Otherwise, a single blow would shatter every bone in their body.

With a clear clang,

the attack struck a pale defense barrier. Countless cracks spread across it, and it looked as though it was about to collapse.

"It actually has an automatic protective barrier ability. This should make for a pretty good Soul Ring."

Qian Renxin was slightly surprised.

He had launched his attack through Teleportation, so the Spirit Deer definitely had not reacted in time. Otherwise, it would not have stood there foolishly.

Still, he was not disappointed. This had merely been an ordinary sword strike, at most combined with Teleportation to close the distance. It was not enough to kill a four-thousand-year Soul Beast comparable to a Soul Ancestor with a single blow.

"Awoo!"

Sensing the threat of death, the stupidity in the Sacred Spirit Deer's eyes instantly cleared. It lifted a hoof and stomped down at Qian Renxin.

Its hooves were extremely thick and sturdy. When it reared up, faint afterimages appeared around it, clearly indicating another special ability.

Qian Renxin did not use Teleportation to retreat. He also wanted to test the limits of his strength.

He raised the giant sword before himself.

One hand gripped the hilt, while the other supported the blade from behind as he forcibly received the attack.

The giant sword and deer hoof collided with a deafening bang.

Qian Renxin's body did not move in the slightest, though he felt some strain.

A Soul Beast's physique had always far surpassed that of Soul Masters of the same level, especially when the Spirit Deer had used a Soul Skill.

Yet he had blocked this attack with pure strength alone.

As he pushed his strength to its limit,

the lingering effects of the Blood Lotus Wound Powder were fully stimulated. Blood surged madly through his arms, and his veins bulged slightly as he actually forced the Spirit Deer, even while it was using a Soul Skill, slightly upward.

The Sacred Spirit Deer lost its advantage in the contest. Once it was lifted, it had no room to exert force and was swept to the ground by Qian Renxin.

The two-thousand-jin giant sword pressed directly onto its body. Even with a Soul Beast's physique, it could not endure it, and it soon became barely alive.

Qian Renxin stood and dusted off his hands, feeling rather satisfied.

His true strength naturally went far beyond this.

If he used the God-Demon Martial Soul, dealing with a Soul Beast of this level would take only a minute or two.

But a Soul Beast of this level was not worthy of making him go all out.

In this battle,

he had only used Teleportation. The rest had basically been a direct physical brawl with a four-thousand-year Soul Beast.

"Xiao Xue, you can come absorb the Soul Ring now."

Qian Renxin said to Qian Renxue with a faint smile.

Qian Renxue jogged over, feeling slightly uncomfortable as she looked at the Spirit Deer continuously coughing up blood.

"Since that's the case, I'll end your suffering sooner."

She was not saintly enough to pity Soul Beasts. Trying to lessen its pain was already a sign of conscience.

Her first Soul Ring lit up.

A pure white holy-light sword condensed in her palm, then slashed across the deer's neck with a single charge, completely ending its life.

After the Spirit Deer died,

a dazzling purple Soul Ring emerged from its corpse.

Not only that,

a strange light flickered around one of its hooves.

"Oh?"

Qian Renxin was surprised. He looked over and discovered that it was actually a right-leg Soul Bone.

The Soul Bone skill was likely the attack in which the Spirit Deer had used afterimages against him.

It should strengthen the user's attacks and produce afterimages. For example, if a Soul Master possessing this Soul Bone kicked, the kick would likewise be enhanced.

"The Soul Bone skill is somewhat interesting, but its age is too low. I'll trade it for some Gold Soul Coins another day."

Qian Renxin carelessly placed the Soul Bone into his Spatial Soul Tool.

He did not even care for the thirty-thousand-year Dark Void Leopard Soul Bone, much less a Soul Bone only a few thousand years old.

Qian Renxue Absorbs a Soul Ring, Searching for the Eight Spider Lances

"Xin'er's luck is truly extraordinary. He merely hunted a four-thousand-year Soul Beast, yet it dropped a Soul Bone."

Bibi Dong clicked her tongue in amazement.

The chance of a thousand-year Soul Beast dropping a Soul Bone was extremely low. Even among a hundred Soul Beasts, one might not produce a single Soul Bone.

Yue Guan and the others nodded in agreement.

Sometimes, luck really was a mysterious thing. Those who could become Titled Douluo all had at least some measure of luck. This was not simple superstition.

Qian Renxin was even more outrageous. His luck was likely unmatched among his generation.

"Just a coincidence."

Qian Renxin replied with a faint smile.

Of course, he knew that luck existed on the Douluo Continent.

However, as an outsider, he should not receive the aid of the Douluo plane's luck. Only natives like Huo Yuhao could become children of destiny.

Otherwise, Tang San probably would not have needed to go through so much trouble.

Still, as a transmigrator, perhaps he possessed some mysterious qualities of his own.

For example, Tang San's luck in the original story had also been extremely strange. Though he was not a child of destiny for the plane, it was still absurdly powerful—Deity Assessments, Immortal Herbs, External Soul Bones...

He was the same. If the Immortal Herbs had been obtained through his foreknowledge,

then this Soul Bone and the Dark Void Leopard Soul Bone clearly reflected his luck.

Qian Renxue walked to the corpse and drew the Soul Ring toward her waist with Soul Power. The purple Soul Ring swayed rhythmically as it gradually approached her.

As time passed,

her tender little face showed slight discomfort.

This Soul Ring had clearly reached the limit of what she could absorb.

After roughly two or three hours,

the deep-purple Soul Ring hovered above the two yellow Soul Rings and settled around her waist.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

Her seven- or eight-year-old body seemed to have grown much sturdier, making her look like an elegant eleven-year-old girl. Much of the childishness had faded from her face.
