Qian Daoliu Mishandles a Match, Qian Renxue's Heart is Stirred for the First Time

"Sword techniques, Sword Qi, Sword Intent."

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered.

She watched Li Qinglian's departing back, shock filling her heart.

His words had seemed casual, yet he had concisely laid out the cultivation path of a sword cultivator.

Li Qinglian had put it very simply, but in truth, on Douluo Continent, this was already extremely valuable experience.

"Xue'er, what do you think of Li Qinglian?"

Qian Daoliu's aged face was covered in smiles.

"He's very strong. His talent is even a step above mine. Especially in comprehension—I'm far inferior to him in that regard. So I have to build a good relationship with him if I want to make up for that weakness of mine."

Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather in confusion as he smiled so strangely.

"Then have you ever thought about being with him?"

Qian Daoliu chuckled.

He truly had taken a liking to that boy, Li Qinglian.

Such monstrous talent was the only one he had ever seen in his life.

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"He already has Shui Bing'er by his side. And his relationship with Huo Wu is ambiguous too, plus there's Dugu Yan, whose connection to him I don't even know. How could I possibly?"

Qian Renxue stamped her foot in embarrassment.

Grandpa was simply making ridiculous matches.

"Hahaha. Xue'er, I didn't expect you to know so much about Li Qinglian. So, if not for those distractions, you would consider it, then."

Qian Daoliu knew this granddaughter of his was proud and arrogant. In all the world, it was hard for any man to catch her eye.

Now that she could admit Li Qinglian was above her, it already revealed her heart.

When an arrogant woman lowered her head, it often meant her feelings had changed as well.

"If those women weren't around, I probably would consider it."

"Across the entire continent, aside from Li Qinglian, there isn't any other man I could look favorably upon."

Qian Renxue lightly bit her red lip with her pearly teeth.

Li Qinglian was outstanding enough, and he had indeed met every fantasy she had about her other half.

She wanted to find a man stronger than her. Otherwise, on what grounds could he conquer her?

"Do you think Li Qinglian has the potential to become a god?"

Qian Daoliu asked in return.

"Yes! If there are other gods still choosing successors to become gods, Li Qinglian should be the first to catch their eye," Qian Renxue said without hesitation.

If, apart from the Angel God, there were other divine inheritances emerging in this world, that spot would definitely belong to Li Qinglian!

"So, no matter how many beauties Li Qinglian has around him now, why should you care?"

"He can train Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and the others into top geniuses, but can he train them into gods?"

"In the future, when you and he enter the God Realm together, you'll have someone to rely on."

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, his aged eyes filled with affection.

He could not go to the God Realm.

He had already made up his mind to use his own blood to help Qian Renxue open the final stretch of the path to godhood!

But he did not know what the God Realm was like either.

Wherever there were people, there would be conflict.

Perhaps schemes and intrigue existed in the God Realm as well.

On Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall protected his granddaughter and would not let her be bullied.

But in the God Realm, she would have to rely on herself for everything.

If she had Li Qinglian, someone whose background they knew well, and became lovers with him, then one day, when the two of them entered the God Realm together, they would have someone to lean on.

Only then could he feel at ease.

In the past, he had never thought about this question.

But now that Li Qinglian had appeared, he felt this was the best possible outcome.

Ideally, before he sacrificed himself, he would be able to see Xue'er's descendants born. Then he would be even more satisfied.

"Grandpa, please stop."

Qian Renxue's face turned bright red.

In terms of talent and strength, of course she was willing.

But at the end of the day, Li Qinglian was still a child!

Just thinking about it made her feel sinful.

"I have to say, the Soul Master theory circles in this world are absolute trash! No wonder Yu Xiaogang's martial soul is so uncompetitive, yet he's still managed to thrive in this world."

"If I said all the true explanations of the way of the sword from the sword dao novels I read in my previous life, wouldn't their jaws drop?"

Li Qinglian could not help grumbling on the way back.

Cultivation in this world—especially before the Soul Sage level—

basically only required accumulating soul power, then breaking through, then absorbing a soul ring to break through to the next major realm.

The higher one's innate soul power was, the faster one cultivated.

It could be said that Douluo Continent, as a fantasy world, was completely different from other fantasy continents.

On other fantasy continents, all kinds of cultivation methods and combat techniques came in endless variety, all created by supreme experts after comprehending the Dao.

But on Douluo Continent—

the Unity of Heaven and Man alone could stop a great many Title Douluo from ever setting foot into the Super Douluo level.

No one had yet comprehended a secret method like condensing a soul core, which could help a Soul Douluo easily enter the Title Douluo level.

And as for the other core requirement for a Super Douluo to step into Limit Douluo—condensing dual soul cores—even less had anyone managed to research it.

The existing Limit Douluo on Douluo Continent had all been forcibly pushed up by the special power of gods.

Before coming to this world, Li Qinglian had thought Yu Xiaogang was able to become a master with those half-baked theories entirely because Bibi Dong had "paid to buy him popularity."

But now, Li Qinglian understood.

This world simply had no real theory to speak of.

"Because humans can stably obtain soul skills from soul rings, and Soul Masters also rely on soul skills to fight, they've developed path dependence. Only a few top experts would ever think of creating their own soul skills."

There were not many self-created soul skills on the continent nowadays. The Clear Sky Sect's Rampaging Wind Hammer Technique and Great Sumeru Hammer both counted as self-created soul skills. The power of these self-created soul skills even surpassed soul skills, and they had also become core secrets that only the Clear Sky Sect's core disciples could come into contact with.

Aside from those, there were only Li Qinglian's sword techniques.

Li Qinglian's Green Lotus Sword Technique and Blazing Fire Sword Technique should both be classified as self-created soul skills. This was also why Li Qinglian had not attached soul rings to the Green Lotus Sword, yet still possessed extremely powerful combat strength.

Li Qinglian's Green Lotus Sword had no soul rings, but it possessed two great self-created soul skills. Only when Sword Intent worked together with the sword techniques could they unleash their greatest power.

Soul skills were uncontrollable, while self-created soul skills were skills Soul Masters created for themselves according to their own circumstances. His two sword techniques, for example, were precisely like this. The Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer and Rampaging Wind Hammer Technique were also the same.

The advantages of self-created soul skills were beyond comparison with soul ring soul skills.

Moreover, as long as one's comprehension was high enough, after a Soul Master's cultivation became powerful, they could continuously refine their self-created soul skills and make them even stronger.

"Qinglian. You're finally back."

Before he knew it, Li Qinglian had already arrived at the Blazing Fire Team's hotel room.

When Huo Wu saw Li Qinglian return safe and sound, her body trembled slightly.

She stepped forward directly and hugged Li Qinglian tightly with all her strength.

The championship! The championship that belonged to the Tianshui Team!

Li Qinglian had thoroughly made his name in Spirit City, and his name was still spreading farther and farther.

Huo Wu was truly afraid that someone would do him harm.

Because there were definitely many people who did not want Li Qinglian to grow up.
