Chen Xuan Enlightens Qian Renxue! Tang Hao Hates Him to the Bone!

"This... this fluctuation of soul power!"

In the distance, She Long and Pufferfish were so shocked that their jaws nearly hit the ground.

They could clearly sense that their Young Mistress's soul power aura was skyrocketing at a speed akin to a rocket.

What on earth had this senior done to the Young Mistress?

No, perhaps it should be asked, what had he taught her?

Their hearts instantly ignited with fervor, itching with unbearable curiosity.

They even felt a sudden impulse to step forward and beg to be taken as disciples.

But considering their status as Title Douluo, they ultimately couldn't bring themselves to lower their pride, and could only watch with longing, filled with envy and jealousy.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, suppressing the raging waves in her heart.

She bowed to Chen Xuan once more; this time, it was a sincere, heartfelt ninety-degree salute.

"Thank you, Teacher, for imparting your wisdom! This disciple... is eternally grateful!"

As she raised her head, the golden pupils of her eyes held not only reverence but also a glow that could only be described as "worship."

Chen Xuan withdrew his finger, his expression remaining indifferent.

"Remember what you have learned today and contemplate it well."

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully imparted core theories to the disciple. Lesson completed. Reward: One hundred Immortal-Grade Herbs!]

The system's notification chimed in his mind.

Chen Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

One hundred immortal herbs were of little use to him personally.

But as resources for cultivating a disciple, they were perfect.

He was quite satisfied with this.

At this moment, Qian Renxue spoke again: "Teacher, now that matters here are concluded, this disciple intends to return to Heaven Dou City. I wonder if Teacher would be willing to accompany this disciple? It would allow me to fulfill my filial duties."

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment.

Resurrecting Ah Yin required the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but there was no rush; her origin needed to be nurtured first.

He currently had no fixed destination anyway.

He nodded and said, "Very well."

When the figures of Chen Xuan and his party had completely vanished from the path outside Holy Soul Village.

A disheveled figure cautiously poked his head out from the dense forest in the distance.

It was Tang Hao, who had returned after fleeing.

He observed carefully for a long time, confirming that the aura that had made his heart tremble was gone, before he finally let out a sigh of relief and stepped out, clutching his agonizingly painful chest.

Recalling the scene where that ordinary-looking Blue Silver Grass had withstood his full-force strike, his eyes were filled with lingering fear.

What kind of power was that?

Why would a single stalk of Blue Silver Grass be more terrifying than a deity?

He could not fathom it, nor did he dare to think about it further.

He hurried to the spot where the Blue Silver Empress had been, searching frantically.

"Ah Yin? Ah Yin!"

However, aside from a shallow pit, the ground was completely empty.

That familiar Blue Silver Empress with golden veins was gone.

Tang Hao's body stiffened, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He collapsed to the ground in a daze, his hands frantically clawing at the soil as he muttered to himself.

"No... this can't be... Ah Yin..."

A moment later, a monstrous hatred and madness erupted from his eyes.

"Martial Soul Hall!"

"It was you! It must have been you who took Ah Yin away!"

"Qian Renxue! And that mysterious accomplice! I, Tang Hao, swear that if I do not tear you into ten thousand pieces in this lifetime, I am no man! I will reclaim Ah Yin!"

His angry roar echoed across the empty fields outside the village, startling countless birds into flight.

Seven days later, Heaven Dou City.

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, this was undoubtedly one of the most prosperous cities on the entire continent.

Inside the Crown Prince's bedchamber.

Qian Renxue wore a luxurious palace gown, her golden hair coiled up to reveal a fair, slender neck, looking as noble and elegant as a true goddess.

She personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Chen Xuan and respectfully handed it to him.

"Teacher, your powers are vast and miraculous. If you are willing, this disciple can introduce you to the Imperial Father. With your strength, you would surely be granted a high position; becoming a prince or a prime minister would be well within reach."

Chen Xuan took the teacup, blew on the steam, and took a light sip.

"I have no interest in the strife of the imperial court."

He said, "I only wish to open an academy and teach a few things."

"An academy?"

Qian Renxue was slightly startled, then her eyes lit up.

This truly fit the style of a reclusive expert like her teacher.

She understood immediately, revealing a sweet smile as she gently crossed her long legs beneath her skirt, making her figure appear even more alluring.

"So Teacher has such refined interests; it is this disciple who was vulgar."

"Leave this matter to me! I guarantee to build the most top-tier academy on the entire continent for you!"

She patted her chest in assurance, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness, a stark contrast to the dignified Crown Prince she appeared as in daily life.

In front of Chen Xuan, she always seemed able to shed all her disguises.

In the days that followed, a major event occurred in Heaven Dou City.

His Highness, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, utilized a massive fortune to build a vast and magnificent academy at an astonishing speed in the most prosperous district of the city.

The entire soul master circle of Heaven Dou City was stirred, with everyone speculating which master was coming to Heaven Dou City to establish a sect.

However, on the day the academy was completed and the plaque was hung, everyone laughed until their sides ached.

"Blue Silver Academy?"

"Hahahaha! Did I read that right? His Highness the Crown Prince spent so much effort just to build an academy that teaches people how to use Blue Silver Grass?"

"What a waste of resources! Does that stuff even need to be taught? Can't just anyone use it?"

"I think His Highness the Crown Prince has been swindled!"

For a time, all sorts of rumors and gossip spread through the streets and alleys of Heaven Dou City.

Blue Silver Academy became a joke in the mouths of every soul master in the city.

Inside the academy, in a quiet courtyard.

Qian Renxue recounted the rumors outside to Chen Xuan, a hint of indignation on her beautiful face.

"Teacher, those people are ignorant and foolish to dare mock you! This disciple will send men at once to arrest those gossiping wretches and cut out their tongues!"

Chen Xuan was lying leisurely on a rocking chair, eyes closed to rest his mind.

Upon hearing this, he did not even lift an eyelid.

"It is of no consequence."

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice, and frogs in a well cannot speak of the sea. Let them say what they will."

Watching Chen Xuan's calm and composed demeanor, the anger in Qian Renxue's heart vanished into thin air before she even realized it.

Her admiration for her teacher deepened by another layer.

His strength was unfathomable, and his heart was as vast as the sea.

How many men in this world could compare to him?

She walked to Chen Xuan's side, crouched down, rested her chin in her hands, and looked up at him.

"Teacher, regarding the theories you taught me last time, there are still a few places I do not understand. Could you... explain them to me again?"

Chen Xuan opened his eyes and sat up straight.

"Speak."

"Regarding martial soul advancement, you said that will and conviction are the keys, but how should will... be quantified, and how should it be tempered?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan began to explain in detail.

He spoke from the essence of the soul to the application of spiritual power, and finally to the condensation of the power of conviction, explaining profound concepts in simple terms, every word a pearl of wisdom.
