The Great Stage of Douluo, My Name is Qian Xunji

At the end of the letter, he expressed his desire for a Soul Power Breakthrough Pill without the slightest hesitation.

Bibi Dong saw this and immediately used her soul power to shatter the letter into dust.

"Trash!"

She had seen this kind of rhetoric and phrasing countless times over the years while killing the trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Thinking of the fate of those ignorant young girls made her feel nauseated.

Bibi Dong never imagined that her former lover could write a letter identical to those sent by that trash.

For a fleeting moment, Bibi Dong didn't even want to admit that this familiar handwriting belonged to Yu Xiaogang.

Her first love was already dead; why must he come back to life and tarnish the beautiful memories she once held?

Chapter 67: Combat Strategy

After successfully giving Bibi Dong a hard time in a reasonable and compliant manner, Qian Xunji strolled off to find Xiaoxue.

He had experience this time; he checked the schedule and saw it was a day off, so he headed to the residential area for these precious children.

He still ended up missing her.

"Where is the young miss?" Qian Xunji asked, looking at the maid.

"The young miss went to the training grounds with Miss Jing and the others today," the maid answered honestly, knowing that Qian Renxue cared deeply for the Pope.

Qian Xunji immediately hurried toward the training grounds.

There would be a good show to watch this time; he would take Xiaoxue to see the world and witness a battle between Title Douluo.

Yes, he just wanted to take Xiaoxue to broaden her horizons, not to manipulate the old man.

Although he had already dispatched the Title Douluo elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo to lie in ambush, he still felt it wasn't foolproof. Since he couldn't mobilize the high-ranking elders, he would have the old man take action himself.

Arriving at the training grounds.

"Xiaoxue!" Qian Xunji shouted as soon as he entered.

No one paid him any mind, and Qian Renxue didn't notice the arrival of her dear father; she was currently watching the battle on the field with rapt attention.

The ones fighting on the field were Dongfang Jing and Xiang Yu.

On the massive circular platform, the golden-haired girl had a slender, graceful figure and agile movements. Her color scheme consisted of gold, white, and black, with a symmetrical cross-collar resembling a modified qipao. Her headpiece was a golden sun ornament that dazzled with light, faintly radiating solar rays. In her right hand, she held a golden mirror blade that refracted golden light; its peculiar shape resembled a sun. Her expression was cold and her aura sacred, making it impossible for anyone to harbor a shred of blasphemous thought!

Blazing Sun Divine Light—Dongfang Jing!

Opposite the girl was a golden-haired boy.

His golden hair was combed back into a slicked-back style, his face was resolute and sharp, and his physique was tall and robust, defying his age. He wore armor with a white base and gold trim, adorned with many cross elements. Behind him were three pairs of massive white-gold wings, and he held a golden cross greatsword with a pair of golden angel wings at the hilt.

The boy was currently hovering above the field, vigilantly watching the golden-haired girl and her golden mirror image below.

The girl moved symmetrically with her golden mirror image, searching for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, the boy above unleashed a massive golden sword aura.

Jing's reaction speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person. A golden flash flickered as she swapped places with her mirror image; the sword aura passed through the image and struck the ground, leaving deep gouges.

After swapping, Jing seized the opportunity to displace again, lunging at Xiang Yu in the sky, though the distance was slightly lacking.

She displaced again, and the Mirror Space expanded. Within this space, Jing could refresh the cooldown of her basic attacks and mirror swaps, and she gained 30% damage reduction. Furthermore, if Jing flew forward and touched an enemy, it would cause a 1-second immobilization effect.

Jing completed all of this in less than a second!

During that one second of immobilization, the golden light blinded everyone watching; the surrounding crowd couldn't clearly see the golden figure within the Mirror Space.

"Brother Xiang Yu has left an opening," Qian Renxue observed intently.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, with Xiang Yu maintaining his distance, it would be impossible for Jing to strike him.

Arthur had high combat awareness; he knew the displacement range of Dongfang Jing and understood Xiang Yu's fighting style.

Xiang Yu wanted to rely on his flight advantage and superior soul power to launch area-of-effect attacks from above.

After all, given Dongfang Jing's displacement and agility, it was difficult for Xiang Yu to take the initiative and hit her.

"But Xiang Yu still has a chance." Arthur knew just how tanky Xiang Yu was, especially when his passive was triggered at low health, granting him immense counter-kill potential.

"That's true, Brother Xiang Yu actually becomes even stronger after getting injured," Qian Renxue nodded.

"And Jing's soul power should be running low," Arthur said, counting the skills Dongfang Jing had used.

Although Dongfang Jing's Blazing Sun Divine Light skin provided a slight soul power recovery and burn damage bonus under the sunlight, these gains were merely a drop in the bucket compared to the soul power consumed when Dongfang Jing used her ultimate to transform into a golden flash.

Finally, Xiang Yu held out until the immobilization effect ended. He immediately used his first skill, Charge, to exit Jing's attack range, then turned back to unleash the Overlord Slash toward the Mirror Space.

Jing was forced to abandon the Mirror Space. The moment she left, the space shattered like a mirror and vanished.

At this moment, the victor was decided!

As an agility-type spirit master, Dongfang Jing had a fragile physique, and with her spirit power bottoming out, she was essentially unable to continue the fight.

In a duel between the two, Xiang Yu could afford countless mistakes, but if Dongfang Jing made a single one, she would lose immediately.

"I feel like Sister Jing performed really well this time, so why did she still lose? Brother Xiang Yu is just too outrageous." Qian Renxue couldn't help but sigh. If it were her, she would have lost the moment she was enveloped by Sister Jing's Mirror Space.

"All of Jing's attacks landed on the armor; Xiang Yu predicted her moves in advance and protected his vitals." Arthur looked at the dejected Qian Renxue and explained with a smile.

He had only realized this after the battle, upon seeing the marks left on the armor.

"Xiang Yu exposed his openings on purpose."

And Jing likely knew they were openings, but since it was her only chance to break the deadlock and attack, she had no choice but to go for it. If she had been fast enough, she could have immobilized Xiang Yu before he made his defensive move.

"How insidious!" Hearing this, Qian Renxue asked curiously, "But when Brother Xiang Yu and you, Brother Arthur, fought before, didn't you just trade blows directly in a frontal battle?"

"That's because he and I are both all-around warriors with no obvious weaknesses. Furthermore, he has to engage me in close combat. Once he tries to fly into the air to create distance like he did against Dongfang Jing, I would have the opportunity to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Is that so?" Qian Renxue rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on. Her older brothers and sisters were all so amazing!

"Little Xue, when you are in battle against an opponent who is not weaker than you, you must learn to use your brain and think of a plan."

Qian Xunji also stood behind the two and nodded, speaking up suddenly like a ghost. "That's right, Little Xue, you must study hard."

Chapter 68: I Will Protect You Forever, Father!

Qian Renxue's body stiffened like a cat with its fur standing on end. She turned around to see Qian Xunji standing behind her, not knowing when he had arrived, and only then did her body slowly relax. "Father, when did you get here?"

She didn't mind his sudden appearance at all.

However, Arthur, who was beside her, didn't seem surprised in the slightest.

As a hero summoned by Qian Xunji, he had known the moment Qian Xunji arrived, but Arthur also knew that the summoner had a screw loose in his head, so he generally tried to ignore him whenever possible.

Xiang Yu appeared very calm, folding his wings as he landed.

Dongfang Jing also took a light leap and jumped down from the stage.

"Gentlemen, it has been a long time. Are you prepared for the arrival of an unknown crisis?" Qian Xunji looked at his heroes and put on an act, hands behind his back. Based on his past experience with those children, they should be looking at him with admiration, saluting, and shouting passionately and enthusiastically, "We have been waiting for a long time, Lord Pope, we will surely bring you the glory of victory."

That was what a qualified hero's response should be.

Qian Xunji looked at the four people below, signaling with his eyes.

Xiang Yu looked up at the sky.

Dongfang Jing looked down at the ground.

Arthur examined the patterns on his own clothing.

Qian Xunji's gaze turned disappointed and landed on the last person, Qian Renxue.

The little girl with golden hair had seen her father's prestige among the children at the Martial Soul Hall Academy and had seen with her own eyes how those children responded.

But...

Since her brother and sister weren't shouting, she felt very awkward doing it alone, but...

Looking at the golden-haired man in front of her, who was looking at her with expectation.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes, clenched her fists, stepped forward, raised her hand in a salute according to the posture Qian Xunji had taught her, and looked up at him with sincere and earnest eyes.

"I have been waiting for a long time, Lord Pope. I will surely bring you eternal victory and glory. Your wish is my goal..."

The girl's voice grew louder, and her gaze became more determined.

"I will protect you forever, and protect everything you love."

I will protect you forever, Father!

After hearing this, Qian Xunji stroked his chin.

Good lines, I'll write those down!

I'll use them again next time.

Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu, who was hiding in the shadows and had originally intended to watch his granddaughter's daily training, turned green with rage.

Little Xue was the future Angel God, yet this rebellious son was actually teaching her to say such things.

Qian Xunji nodded with satisfaction and stroked Qian Renxue's soft golden hair. It felt so good that he wanted to keep touching it, but he still had serious business to attend to, so he regretfully restrained his hand and pulled it back.

"Very good, very spirited. Since you are all prepared," Qian Xunji said, ignoring the silent Xiang Yu and the others.

"Then follow me! I will show you what a real battle is."

As he spoke, Qian Xunji picked up Qian Renxue.

The three people behind them looked at each other, but still chose to follow along.
