Book of Rules

After confirming that his eyes were not playing tricks on him, Su Yu immediately looked at Qian Renxue.

Compared to his own Innate Full Soul Power, he was more curious about how the young mistress of Spirit Hall had known in advance.

A second playthrough after reincarnation?

In my past life, I lost everything. This time, I'll take it all back!

Step one after reincarnation: poach the greatest genius from my previous life and make him my little brother...

Send me fifty, and I'll tell you Qian Renxue's complete revenge plan!

At that thought, Su Yu could not help grinning.

But when Qian Renxue looked his way, Su Yu quickly wiped the smile from his face.

Whatever the truth was, he currently had no strength to resist.

Besides, Su Yu did not reject the idea of joining Spirit Hall.

Under the admiring gazes of Snake Lance and Chi Xue, Qian Renxue put on an unsurprised expression and said, "Su Yu, introduce your martial soul."

"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, this commoner's martial soul is called the Brass Book, also known as the Book of Rules."

"The Book of Rules?"

Facing Qian Renxue's probing gaze, Su Yu did not say much. With a thought, he made the Brass Book in his hand rapidly flip open.

Amid the rustling of turning pages, the words in the first half of the Brass Book—the fundamental rules of the world—appeared before everyone.

"...When soul beasts die, they will inevitably produce soul rings, with a chance of producing soul bones..."

"...If a soul beast is in an extreme emotional state when it dies, the chance of producing a soul bone increases..."

"...When soul masters break through to a title, they need to absorb a soul ring..."

"...Absorbing a soul ring below ten thousand years only requires enduring physical strain; absorbing one above ten thousand years requires additionally enduring mental strain..."

"..."

One line of black text after another entered their sight. Qian Renxue and the other two all felt dizzy, as though they had gone days without sleep and were on the verge of sudden death.

"Stop. Stop it."

With another thought from Su Yu, the Brass Book swiftly snapped shut and then vanished.

"Huu..."

Qian Renxue let out a long breath, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

"What an extraordinary martial soul..."

Once her thoughts had settled, Qian Renxue asked directly, "Su Yu, with your talent, as long as you do not die midway, you will certainly become a Title Douluo in the future. Are you willing to join the Heaven Dou Empire and serve me?"

Su Yu opened his mouth, then nodded. "This commoner is already a subject of Heaven Dou. I am willing to serve Your Highness."

"Very good!" Qian Renxue turned to Snake Lance and instructed, "Guard She, take him away first. Arrange a fine room for him and let him rest properly."

After saying that, Qian Renxue smiled at Su Yu. "Rest well first and nurse your body back to health. In a few days, I'll personally take you to obtain your first soul ring."

"This commoner thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince, but if I suddenly disappear like this..."

Qian Renxue nodded approvingly. "Do not worry. I'll send someone to notify Full Moon Village. Also, you may call me Brother Xue from now on."

"Yes, Brother Xue... Brother Xue, I have had no parents since childhood. I have relied entirely on the village chief grandfather and several others for daily support..."

Seeing Su Yu's grateful expression, Qian Renxue nodded approvingly. "Do not worry, I'll make arrangements. They will not have to struggle so hard in the future, and you may visit them whenever you wish."

"Thank you, Brother Xue!"

After Su Yu and Snake Lance left, Chi Xue said quietly, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on recruiting a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. But that martial soul of his..."

"It is indeed a martial soul I have never seen before, but..."

Confidence flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. Even if it was a completely unknown martial soul, there was no need to worry.

A light screen visible only to Qian Renxue appeared out of thin air and floated before her.

At that moment, Qian Renxue had already confirmed that the information revealed by the system was all true!

With this system, nothing would be a problem!

One day, she would obtain information about that martial soul!

One day, she would obtain all the information in the world!

After entering the luxurious room, Su Yu collapsed directly onto the soft bed.

Then, Su Yu summoned the Brass Book and began studying his martial soul.

A moment later, Su Yu rubbed his throbbing temples and withdrew his martial soul.

After a brief period of exploration, Su Yu confirmed that his martial soul truly was the Brass Book he knew.

Summoning and maintaining the Brass Book only consumed Soul Power, but reading the text in its front section consumed mental energy.

The Brass Book recorded all the fundamental rules of Douluo Continent, but the rules visible each time were incomplete, only a small portion of the whole.

The text recording the underlying rules was all black and currently could not be altered.

Su Yu guessed that perhaps he would only be able to try modifying those underlying rules after obtaining his Martial Soul Avatar.

"Hunting soul rings..."

According to Qian Renxue, he needed to nurse his body back to health before going to obtain a soul ring.

After all, even with the village chief's support, Su Yu had still lived a life of irregular meals and hunger.

If he did not nourish himself properly, Su Yu doubted whether he could even absorb a hundred-year soul ring!

Heaven Dou City, imperial palace.

"Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's report, Xue Ye stood up excitedly. Joy appeared on his face, while his eyes were full of shock.

"That's right. He is a villager from Full Moon Village outside Heaven Dou City. Your son brought him back immediately and sealed off the information."

"At present, only your son and his two guards know of this matter."

Xue Ye nodded, a trace of approval appearing in his eyes. "You did well. A genius who has not yet grown up naturally must be hidden carefully."

"Su Yu is an orphan. He has lived in hardship for six years, and his body is somewhat undernourished."

"Your son plans to nurse his body back to health first, then hunt for a soul ring after some time. To the outside world, we will claim that he possesses Level Nine Innate Soul Power."

Hearing this, the satisfaction in Xue Ye's eyes deepened. "Very good. Do as you suggest... Also, have Ke'er spend more time with that child..."

"Once he obtains his first soul ring, if his soul skill is suitable, we will settle the marriage directly!"

"I need to ensure that this future Title Douluo truly belongs to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!"

Qian Renxue accepted the decree on the surface, but inwardly mocked the fact that her "imperial father" had so readily sold off his only daughter.

However, Qian Renxue understood him well enough. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire was truly too lacking in high-level combat power.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had close ties with the Heaven Dou Empire, theirs was merely a so-called cooperative relationship.

Although Dugu Bo was an imperial consecrated official of the Heaven Dou Empire, that was only due to his friendship with Prince Xuexing. He was the type who would obey assignments but not commands.

At that thought, Qian Renxue lowered her head. "Imperial Father, if there is nothing else, your son will take her leave."

"Mhm. Go."

After leaving the Imperial Study, Qian Renxue sneered inwardly.

A Title Douluo directly under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?

What a wonderful future.

Unfortunately.

He should be a Title Douluo directly under me...

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes and began considering how to deal with that uncle-nephew pair who were "playing the part of wastrels."
