One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

With a flap of her wings, she took Qian Renxin into the air with her.

Flying into midair,

Qian Renxin adjusted his sitting position as well.

With his legs clasped around her slender waist, he found it unexpectedly fitting.

As expected of a novel character. Such a waist probably couldn't exist in reality. Those proportions are too exaggerated—completely concave.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei quickly followed, looking at Ling Yuan with some envy.

Being able to help the Young Master so much, she would surely receive no small reward upon returning.

Unfortunately, neither of their martial souls was flight-type.

After Yue Guan's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum used Martial Soul Avatar, it could carry people through the air, but the consumption was too great for long-distance travel.

They could only watch as Ling Yuan claimed this considerable merit.

Chapter 9: First Encounter with Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo vs. Ling Yuan

Traveling together through the air,

the four moved at tremendous speed and reached the vicinity of the central region of the Heaven Dou Empire in merely five or six days.

Sunset Forest was located here as well.

An immense expanse of trees came into view, stretching beyond sight. Every tree stood over ten meters tall and was thick enough to require three people to encircle it. It resembled an untouched primeval forest, filled with unceasing birdsong.

Qian Renxin's group descended from the sky and entered Sunset Forest.

Not long after they landed,

a pack of sturdy wolves with dull gray fur surrounded them, lowering their bodies as they prepared to attack.

"Tut, not even a single Thousand-Year Spirit Beast. Sunset Forest really is lacking."

Yue Guan curled his lips and spoke with obvious disdain.

Hundred-Year Spirit Beasts generally possessed little intelligence and hunted solely on instinct.

Thousand-Year and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts had already begun to develop intelligence. Upon encountering Qian Renxin's group, they would likely flee as fast as possible.

"I'll handle it."

Seeking to earn merit, Ling Yuan flapped her wings. Several Blazing Fire Feather Wings flew out, burning the nearest wolves into charcoal.

Having witnessed Ling Yuan's strength, the distant wolf pack scattered at once.

Ling Yuan could not be bothered to pursue them.

A group of Hundred-Year Spirit Beasts was certainly not their goal on this trip.

Qian Renxin's first soul ring had to be at least a thousand years old.

This was an unprecedented Innate Level Thirty. Even by the usual soul ring absorption limits, he could withstand a thousand-year soul ring.

At that moment,

another tremendous boom came from the depths of Sunset Forest, and a jade-green glow filled the sky.

Then came a violent tremor, as though some enormous creature was moving.

Yue Guan immediately flew into the air to observe.

He saw a gigantic green python, roughly twenty to thirty meters long, slithering through the forest. A red line ran along its belly, every scale on its body shimmering with an eerie green light. Two jade-green horns grew from its head, giving it a majestic appearance.

Atop the snake's head stood an energetic old man with his hands behind his back, black-green bone armor covering his entire body.

Yue Guan covered his mouth and snickered before descending.

"Young Master, Poison Douluo has come."

"That old man is getting more cowardly with age. The fight hasn't even started, yet he's already used Martial Soul Avatar."

Qian Renxin nodded, entirely unsurprised.

"Poison Douluo? That weakest Titled Douluo?"

Ling Yuan asked curiously.

She had only recently entered the ranks of Titled Douluo and was not yet familiar with these people, having merely heard some rumors.

Among Titled Douluo,

Dugu Bo's individual combat strength was absolutely among the lowest tier, much like her, who had only recently advanced to Titled Douluo.

Seeing both Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo nod,

her fighting spirit immediately surged. She wanted to test herself against this "renowned" old senior.

"Don't be hasty. We came here to make a deal. Avoid fighting if possible."

Qian Renxin patted her shoulder, calming her down.

Ling Yuan was obedient as well, immediately standing quietly behind him.

Before long,

Dugu Bo, who had activated Martial Soul Avatar, slowly approached.

When he saw the Spirit Hall elder emblems on Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Ling Yuan, his expression darkened sharply.

He had originally been cultivating in seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when he suddenly sensed an aura at the Titled Douluo level, so he had hurried over.

He had thought it was a Titled Douluo who had wandered in by mistake.

He had not expected there to be three...

And among them, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo were both long-famous Titled Douluo, their Soul Power Levels reaching ninety-four.

He let out a heavy breath, but did not show weakness.

"This is This Old Man's place of cultivation. You people from Spirit Hall should leave at once. Do not provoke This Old Man's anger."

"Oh my, Old Poison Master, who are you getting angry with...?"

Covering his mouth, Yue Guan mocked, "Me? Or Old Ghost? Surely you're not planning to bully our Young Master, who is only six years old?"

His words dripped with ridicule.

They made Dugu Bo's face turn red, then pale.

Yet Dugu Bo also keenly caught the information in Yue Guan's words and looked toward Qian Renxin.

This brat is Spirit Hall's Young Master?

Even if he is the Young Master, why has he come to my place of cultivation? Could it be that even after I became a guest adviser of the empire, Spirit Hall still refuses to let me go?

Qian Renxin stepped forward and spoke calmly.

"Poison Douluo, we have come this time to discuss a transaction with you..."

"No need to say more."

Dugu Bo spoke coldly.

"I, Dugu Bo, may indeed be nobody before Spirit Hall's Young Master, but at my age, I still have some dignity. A loyal subject does not serve two masters. Heaven Dou saved my life back then, so I will never harbor other intentions."

"You people from Spirit Hall should leave immediately. I have already chosen not to pursue the matter of you hunting me down back then. Must you truly keep pressing me?"

Seeing Dugu Bo's stubbornness,

Qian Renxin took a step back and nodded at Ling Yuan.

It would naturally have been better to discuss matters peacefully.

But since the other party was so stubborn, they would first settle things with their fists, then explain the transaction in detail. That would make things more convenient afterward.

"Thank you for granting my wish, Young Master!"

Battle intent burst from Spirit Kite Douluo's eyes. Firelight illuminated her entire body as she flew into the sky.

"Martial Soul Avatar, Blazing Fire Ling Yuan!"

A massive flaming bird of prey appeared beneath her feet. It was over ten meters long, its gaze fierce as if it were staring down prey.

Scorching heat spread outward, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Standing atop her Martial Soul Avatar, Ling Yuan crooked a finger provocatively.

"Old Senior, you may make the first move. I want to see what the world's only Poison Douluo is truly capable of."

Dugu Bo's expression darkened further as soul rings emerged.

"Hmph, a newly advanced Titled Douluo dares attack This Old Man? Take this!"

The snake's head rose high.

A huge mass of thick green poison mist, so dense it appeared black, surged toward Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan revealed her own soul rings as well.

"Blazing Fire Prairie Fire!"

The flaming bird of prey violently flapped its wings, releasing several fire tornadoes that collided head-on with the poison mist.

More than half the poison mist dispersed under the blaze, emitting a sizzling sound.

Dugu Bo felt helpless inside and could only hastily evade the flames.

His poison mist posed a tremendous threat even to Soul Douluo, but it was difficult for it to affect ordinary Titled Douluo.

More importantly, he still carried hidden injuries within his body and did not dare use his full strength. He could only watch helplessly as a mere junior stepped on his reputation to rise to fame.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Boiling Blood!"

Ling Yuan grew braver as the battle continued.

Her attack speed and defense surged dramatically for a short period, and her figure transformed into a fiery shadow that flashed rapidly through the air.

Having only recently become a Titled Douluo, she had yet to fight a serious battle. This was the perfect opportunity.

Even without the threat of poison mist,

Dugu Bo could rely on his seasoned combat experience and Martial Soul Avatar to contend with her for a while, but he was ultimately at a disadvantage.

Watching from the side, Yue Guan could not help but complain.

"What has this Old Poison Master been busying himself with every day? His cultivation hasn't improved at all, and he's getting beaten like this by a junior."

As he spoke, he used the defensive form of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to shield Qian Renxin.

"Young Master, Old Poison Master's poison is no great concern to Titled Douluo, but anyone below that level cannot touch even a trace of it. Otherwise, there will be serious trouble."

Qian Renxin considered it briefly but did not answer.

He summoned a trace of the Power of Goodness Origin into his palm and directly extended his hand into the poison mist.

Chapter 10: A Method of Detoxification, Dugu Bo's Excitement

The watching Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo were so startled they nearly jumped up.

They were old rivals of Dugu Bo. Though the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Poison could barely harm Titled Douluo, it posed an enormous threat to anyone below that rank.

Yet Qian Renxin's hand remained completely unharmed within the poison mist.

Instead, the Power of Good Origin in his palm directly annihilated any poison mist that approached, without making the slightest sound.

"Just as I thought."

Qian Renxin was not surprised in the least.

This had merely been a test.

The Power of Goodness contained many positive forces and was especially effective against sinister and baleful things.

Poisonous gas was also a kind of sinister, baleful force, so it could naturally be purified by the Goodness Origin.
