Qian Renxue: Call Me Teacher

Ye Yuan continuously fought against the resentment of the Man Faced Demon Spider within his own spiritual sea.

Although Ye Yuan had once been a Soul Elder, he had never really cultivated his spiritual power.

He found it somewhat strenuous to face the resentment of the Man Faced Demon Spider.

He swung the sword in his hand repeatedly.

However, the Man Faced Demon Spider continued to resist stubbornly.

Damn it, am I really going to die here?

I haven't found Yan'er yet, and I haven't helped her take revenge; how can I just die like this?

The power of the soul ring constantly battered Ye Yuan's spirit and body.

Purple cracks gradually appeared all over his body.

Yet, looking at Qian Renxue, she was not worried in the slightest.

She seemed to have full confidence in Ye Yuan absorbing this thousand-year soul ring.

The situation inside the spiritual sea was the exact opposite of Qian Renxue's confidence.

At this moment, Ye Yuan's body was gradually becoming ethereal.

As expected, it is still impossible to absorb a thousand-year soul ring as a first soul ring.

He no longer had the strength to continue attacking.

The physical body of the Man Faced Demon Spider was already dead.

If it killed Ye Yuan now, it might still have a chance to possess his body.

Just as the Man Faced Demon Spider was about to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Yuan.

The person who had previously appeared in Ye Yuan's mind emerged once again, with a Black Giant Dragon coiled around his shoulders.

He emitted a dazzling light, his figure imposing and grand.

He seemed like a god of this world, sacred, noble, and inviolable.

"Hmph!"

With a light snort from that person, the sound emitted actually took physical form!

A visible light wave rushed toward the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Without even a scream, the Man Faced Demon Spider was shattered.

Its resentment dissipated completely into the heavens and earth.

Ye Yuan stared at everything before him in a daze.

That imposing figure slowly turned around.

He looked at Ye Yuan, remaining motionless.

Ye Yuan's heart was filled with many questions at this moment.

But his shock only translated into one sentence: "Who... who exactly are you?"

Ye Yuan waited expectantly for a response.

"Who... who exactly are you?" However, the same voice as Ye Yuan's came from the direction of that person.

No matter how Ye Yuan questioned him afterward, that person would only echo the same words as Ye Yuan.

Perhaps that person had grown annoyed, or perhaps there was some other reason.

The person finally made a move.

He placed his index finger against his lips, making a gesture for silence.

But he still did not make a sound.

He simply pointed toward the sky.

Then he vanished, as if he had never appeared at all.

Ye Yuan also emerged from his spiritual sea.

The moment he came out, he only remained dazed for a brief moment before he began to absorb the soul ring with all his might.

Because he had previously been a Soul Elder of over level 30, Ye Yuan's soul power began to climb continuously after he fully absorbed the soul ring.

The surrounding soul power swirled incessantly above Ye Yuan.

It merged into Ye Yuan's body.

Level 11... Level 13... Level 15... Level 20!

He had reached the level of a Soul Master in one step from a Soul Disciple.

He could immediately absorb a second soul ring and push toward becoming a Soul Grand Master!

Qian Renxue nodded as she watched Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan stood up from the ground.

He took a deep look at Qian Renxue.

Was she truly Qian Renxue, and why was she so confident in his ability to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring?

Why did that person appear in his mind?

Ye Yuan had just wanted to say something when Qian Renxue covered his mouth.

Qian Renxue did not speak.

She simply shook her head.

Who was it?

Who could make Qian Renxue so wary?

Even a God King would not warrant such caution from her.

Even as powerful as a God King, it was impossible to keep an eye on every minor movement across the entire continent.

Ye Yuan understood what Qian Renxue meant.

He nodded, signaling that he understood.

Ye Yuan said to Qian Renxue, "What is your reason for saving me?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes.

She understood that if she wanted to continue spending time with Ye Yuan, she had to have a reason.

She couldn't exactly say bluntly that she, Qian Renxue, wanted to woo him, could she?

That was something only a lovesick fool would do, and she certainly couldn't bring herself to do that.

Qian Renxue clasped her hands behind her back and circled around Ye Yuan.

Then, she playfully said, "I have taken a liking to your aptitude."

"I want to be your teacher, and have you join the Martial Soul Hall."

"As for the questions in your heart, you will know in the future."

Ye Yuan introspected and looked at his martial soul.

The aura of the Bloodthirsty Sword was growing stronger and stronger; could it be that this shattered appearance was its true form?

It seemed he actually had to thank those people from the Star Luo Empire.

If it weren't for them, he truly wouldn't have been able to break through and establish himself anew.

"Of course, to prove that I am qualified to be your teacher."

"How about I don't use my martial soul and compete with you in swordsmanship?"

Ye Yuan didn't dawdle and summoned his martial soul directly.

Although he had already decided to take her as his teacher, he was still very curious to see how Qian Renxue fared in terms of swordsmanship.

After all, his martial soul was the Bloodthirsty Sword, and he was quite confident in his own sword techniques.

He unleashed the sword technique he had learned in his mind, Ten Thousand Swords Breaking Dharma.

He continuously focused his attacks on a single point.

The advantage of this sword move was that it kept attacking one spot, maximizing the destructive power.

Just when Ye Yuan thought this move would be able to suppress Qian Renxue.

A scene that shocked him occurred.

Not only was Qian Renxue not suppressed, but she even caught his attack.

She even countered with her own sword move!

What shocked him even more was that the sword move Qian Renxue displayed was even more proficient than his own!

"Clang!"

Ye Yuan's sword was knocked to the ground by Qian Renxue.

She seemed to be extremely familiar with all of his moves.

She even knew the flaws in his sword techniques.

"I lost."

Qian Renxue looked at Ye Yuan with a grin and said, "Call me teacher and let me hear it."

Ye Yuan didn't hesitate, "Teacher."

He knew that binding himself to Qian Renxue meant binding himself to the Martial Soul Hall.

From this moment on, he would become an enemy of the protagonist Tang San.

After all, the relationship between Tang San and the Martial Soul Hall had already become one of mortal enemies back when Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, sacrificed herself.

Only one could exist between the Martial Soul Hall and Tang San.

After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he wanted to kneel down immediately.

Qian Renxue was quick to react.

"No need to kneel!"

Ye Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

Qian Renxue, however, said with a flustered, crimson face, "I... I am only teaching you sword techniques; we are both teacher and friend."

"You don't need to kneel, after all, in the future..."

Ye Yuan did not understand, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Teacher Qian Renxue, I must go now. Yan'er is still waiting for me."

"Once I have rescued my younger sister, I will come to Martial Soul Hall to find you."

As soon as Qian Renxue heard the name Yan'er, she looked at Ye Yuan with a pang of heartache.

"Go on then."

"You don't need to come find me for the time being."

"Come to me only after you have absorbed your second spirit ring. I have another identity: the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe."

Ye Yuan asked, "Why?"

Qian Renxue looked thoughtful and said, "The path to your growth does not lie with me."

"After you absorb your second spirit ring, I will help you with your second round of body tempering."

Qian Renxue could not intervene too much.

She was worried that excessive interference on her part might affect Ye Yuan's path to becoming stronger.

Qian Renxue suddenly walked up to Ye Yuan.

She was quite tall, standing at one meter seventy-five.

Yet, standing before Ye Yuan, she only reached his chin.

Qian Renxue stood on her tiptoes.

Ye Yuan's pupils constricted. Was he being forcibly kissed?

This was his first time kissing a girl.

A few seconds later, their lips parted.

Qian Renxue exhaled a fragrance like orchids, her face flushed.

Qian Renxue stared fixedly at Ye Yuan's lips.

She thought to herself, What do I do? I really want to bite down on them!

No, no, Qian Renxue, you must hold back!

You cannot scare A-Yuan like you did in your past life.

But A-Yuan is just so tempting, ahhh!!!

He is mine! Mine! Even if I die in this life, he will still be mine!

Once I find an opportunity to wipe those people out, I will break A-Yuan's legs.

I'll lock A-Yuan in the basement, where he will belong only to me...

Oh right, and then I'll have a bunch of little A-Yuans with him...

She said softly, "Consider this a parting kiss."

Having said that, she turned and left.

Ye Yuan recovered from his shock and still asked, "Why on earth are you helping me?"

Qian Renxue's silhouette grew smaller and smaller in the distance.

Just when Ye Yuan thought she wouldn't respond.

He heard her say, "Can't I just think you're handsome?"

Ye Yuan was caught off guard by this response.

Watching her retreating figure, he felt a sense of loss.

"Ye Yuan, oh Ye Yuan, you really have lost your mind."

"To think I'm actually feeling reluctant to let her go," Ye Yuan muttered to himself.

Afterward, he made some preparations, went to a village, and bought some rough, old clothes to drape over himself.

He began his journey toward the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire.

"Yan'er, wait for me."
