Qian Renxue's Astonishing Wisdom, They Cannot Be from the Clear Sky Sect

After Jiang Li said a few perfunctory words, he turned and left with Tang San and Xiao Wu in tow.

His precious disciple needed a suitable soul ring to break through his current bottleneck, and that was the top priority. As for those brats in the Imperial Dou Team, he trusted the academy instructors would handle them well.

Furthermore, once Old Poison managed to get Yu Tianheng to leave the academy voluntarily, he could take the opportunity to make Tang San the absolute core of the team.

Once he returned from this soul-hunting trip with Tang San, he would properly drill those brats. Just the thought of beating up that group of Celestial Dragons later on made the corners of Jiang Li's mouth curl upward uncontrollably...

Night, Prince Xue Xing's Mansion.

As the only surviving brother of the current Heaven Dou Emperor, Prince Xue Xing enjoyed the utmost favor from His Majesty.

The mansion's decor was extravagantly luxurious, the grounds were vast, not to mention the maids, each with their own unique charms...

At this moment, in the equally opulent parlor, Prince Xue Xing and the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, sat opposite each other.

However, judging by the shattered tea set scattered around, Prince Xue Xing had clearly been in a towering rage just moments ago. "Xue Beng, I don't even know what to say to you. Where were you during the day? Why didn't you show your face at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"A Soul Douluo powerhouse so young, someone who is on good terms with Poison Douluo, plus the two disciples with extraordinary talent under Mr. Jiang Li—tell me, if you had managed to win them over, wouldn't the Crown Prince position currently held by Xue Qinghe be yours?"

The more Xue Xing spoke, the more heartbroken he felt.

He naturally hadn't harbored such thoughts when his imperial brother, Xue Ye, was in his prime, but his second nephew was simply too ruthless!

Although there was no concrete evidence to prove that Xue Qinghe was behind the deaths of his eldest and third nephews, he operated on the principle that the one who stood to gain the most was the prime suspect. He couldn't help but feel that those incidents were inextricably linked to his second nephew.

Now that his imperial brother Xue Ye's health was in a sharp decline, one had to ask: if a prince who killed his brothers and father ascended the throne, would there be any good days left for him, the imperial uncle?

Although Xue Beng had been acting like a fool under his instructions to save his own life, as time passed, the thought that perhaps I could replace him grew increasingly strong in Xue Xing's mind. Perhaps...

"Imperial Uncle, I couldn't help it. As soon as I got the news, I rushed to the academy like a madman, only to see those lackeys of Xue Qinghe at the gate."

"Do you think I dared to go over? My persona is that of an incompetent prince, after all!"

Hearing Xue Beng say this, Xue Xing didn't know what to say for a moment.

His second nephew truly did things without a single flaw. If it weren't for the fact that the other party's methods for seizing power were a bit too ruthless, handing the Heaven Dou Empire over to him might actually have been a decent choice...

"Sigh, Xue Beng, I will find an opportunity later to have Poison Douluo introduce us to Mr. Jiang Li. You..."

"Take care of yourself..."

Elsewhere, the East Palace.

"Young Master, after Jiang Li and his group left the academy, they stayed at the former affiliate of the Clear Sky Sect, the Strength Clan."

"This subordinate suspects their background may be related to the Clear Sky Sect."

Snake Lance's figure emerged from the void, his tone respectful as he spoke to Qian Renxue.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's brows arched slightly.

The Clear Sky Sect? Are you kidding me?

Back when she learned that her father had been hammered to death by Clear Sky Douluo, she had thoroughly investigated that sect.

In the eyes of those Clear Sky Sect disciples, their Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was the highest-tier martial soul in existence, and they looked down on all soul masters who did not possess the Clear Sky Hammer with equal disdain.

Moreover, which soul master who awakened that martial soul wasn't a burly, rough-hewn brute?

Yet Tang San and Jiang Li, these two possessors of the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, could hardly be described as anything less than heartthrobs who could captivate thousands of young girls.

It couldn't possibly be that they were both Twin Martial Souls, could it?

Jiang Li, Tang San: Are we exposed?

"Uncle Snake Lance, you are overthinking this. Although I don't know why they are involved with the Strength Clan, I do not believe they are disciples of the Clear Sky Sect."

Qian Renxue said with great confidence, her eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

"You and Uncle Pufferfish help me keep an eye on them. Just ensure that their group is not won over by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Snake Lance: ...

After saying this, Qian Renxue's tone shifted, becoming unprecedentedly serious. "However, I hope news of this does not reach the ears of that woman, including Salas. Otherwise..."

"The Young Master can rest assured; this subordinate will certainly do as you say."

Though he said this, Snake Lance Douluo felt that being caught between the Worship Hall and the Pope Palace was truly agonizing...

The next day, Jiang Li led Tang San toward the Sunset Forest, while Xiao Wu was temporarily left at the Strength Clan.

Back at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, this little rabbit had already learned that Heaven Dou City was full of hidden talents; there were three Title Douluo just on the surface. So, after Jiang Li and the others went out to hunt for souls, Xiao Wu stayed perfectly well-behaved, not daring to run around outside at all.

"Xiao San, given your current physique, if you want to perfectly withstand the soul rings during the Blue Silver Kings' sacrifice, it is best to wait until you reach level forty."

"The soul rings they sacrifice to you will undoubtedly be the ones most suitable for the development of your Blue Silver Grass. Therefore, for your third soul ring, it is best to choose a life-type or a plant-type soul beast with a gentle attribute to serve as a bridge between the past and the future."

Hearing his master's advice, Tang San nodded heavily. Since his great master had said so, there must be a reason for it.

What's more, after absorbing the corresponding immortal herbs, Tang San had truly discovered just how top-tier the first two soul rings Jiang Li had selected for him were!

"Master, Xiao San will listen to you!"

The soul beast required for Tang San's third soul ring needed to be at least 4,000 years old. After the master and disciple arrived at the Sunset Forest, they headed straight for the inner perimeter.

Guided by the Blue Silver Grass scattered throughout the forest, the two soon found a meadow brimming with rich life energy.

Holy Light Deer, Jade Vine... countless spirit beasts with gentle attributes inhabited this meadow.

Jiang Li's gaze swept rapidly across the spirit beasts present, finally settling on a jade-green swan resting in the lake.

Emerald Swan, a top-tier life-type spirit beast; he never expected to encounter one in a place like this.

Is this the true weight of a Child of Destiny?
