At that moment, Qian Renxue only felt as if she were some kind of free bonus item thrown in with a purchase.
Even if her brother did nothing at all, even if he just gave up and spent every day eating, drinking, and playing, his cultivation speed was still twice hers?!
It was like one person huffing and puffing as they pedaled a bicycle down the road, while another sat in a sports car and only had to tap the gas to leave the former far behind.
A gap like this could never be made up. Even chasing after her brother's back had become a luxury.
Qian Renxue slowly lowered her head. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and a deep sense of loss welled up in her heart.
Why didn't her martial soul have such an absurd ability?!
In Qian Renxue's young heart, the incomparably noble Six-Winged Angel that represented holiness and light now seemed pitifully weak in her eyes.
It wasn't even worthy of carrying her brother's martial souls' shoes—the Death Angel and Life Angel martial souls!
Qian Wushuang: "..."
Qian Wuji: "..."
Qian Daoliu: "..."
Qian Xunji: "..."
If Qian Daoliu and the others knew what Qian Renxue was thinking right now, they would probably be so angry they'd start cursing on the spot!
The Six-Winged Angel martial soul was a god-level martial soul, the most powerful martial soul in the entire Douluo Continent!
Whether in attack, defense, or speed, it had no shortcomings. In future development, whether one took a balanced path or an extreme path, it was the strongest!
But who could have imagined that martial souls stronger than the Six-Winged Angel would appear—the Death Angel and the Life Angel?!
Putting aside for the moment those terrifying innate martial soul abilities, just the fact that these martial souls could cultivate on their own—back in the past, no one would even have dared to imagine it. A martial soul could cultivate by itself?!
"Aiya—"
Qian Renxue let out a long sigh. She propped her fragrant cheeks in both hands, her resentful gaze sweeping back and forth over Ming Ji and Chun Xing as she muttered, "Why is Brother so strong and such a monster?! Xiao Xue is really so envious of Brother!"
Seeing Qian Renxue so badly shaken, looking like an eggplant wilted by frost, Qian Renheng could only smile helplessly.
"Xiao Xue, comparing yourself to me? Your brother is, after all, a special case that can't be measured by common sense."
"To put it bluntly, I am destined to become the soul master with the fastest cultivation speed in the history of Douluo Continent, and the youngest to become a Titled Douluo!"
"What about second?" Qian Renxue suddenly lifted her head to look at her brother and asked, a little depressed.
"Second?! Good question!" When Qian Renheng heard this, a broad smile appeared on his face. He pointed at Qian Renxue and said, "As for second, it's far away on the horizon, yet right before your eyes. My silly little sister, it's you!"
"Me?!" Qian Renxue pointed at the tip of her own nose when she heard this, somewhat incredulous.
Seeing Qian Renxue's face full of self-doubt, Qian Renheng put away his smile and said, "Of course! Xiao Xue, think carefully. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent for the past ten thousand years, have you ever heard of anyone who could cultivate to a rank twenty-eight Great Soul Master at the age of six?!"
"Have you ever heard of anyone who possessed two thousand-year soul rings at the age of six?!"
Qian Renheng said with overbearing confidence, "In all of Douluo Continent's history, when it comes to cultivation speed, absolutely no one can surpass us siblings!"
"I am first by an overwhelming margin, and you, my little sister, are the second who stands proudly above all heroes!"
Looking at Qian Renxue's eyes, which were gradually brightening, Qian Renheng said earnestly, "Xiao Xue, you have to remember this!"
"In life, when you're alive, you shouldn't keep your eyes fixed only on that unreachable goal ahead!"
"That will only make you feel endless exhaustion and frustration. The road ahead will always seem impossible to finish."
"When you feel tired, when you feel like you can't catch up, you might as well stop and look back for a moment."
"Then you'll be surprised to discover that, without realizing it, you've already walked a long and magnificent road."
"And behind you, those people once praised as geniuses have long since been left far behind by you."
"There can be said to be no one who can keep up with my pace, and in this world, there are likewise only a handful of people who can keep up with yours!"
After Qian Renheng's philosophical and domineering guidance, Qian Renxue felt as though she had received enlightenment. The stifling resentment in her chest instantly vanished without a trace.
That was right! Her brother was an out-and-out monster, an unreasonable freak. His martial souls could even cultivate by themselves!
But if she set aside this completely unreasonable brother, wasn't reaching rank twenty-eight at six years old stunning enough?
Fine then. Since she couldn't keep up with her brother's footsteps, she would switch tracks and pursue victory in spirit. If Brother was first, then she was second!!!
"Xiao Xue, your usual effort and sweat are all things your brother has seen."
Seeing that the timing was about right, Qian Renheng reached out and patted her shoulder. "You mustn't choose to give up on yourself just because my light is too dazzling."
"If even you stop working hard, wouldn't our Spirit Hall be missing a world-famous second place?!"
He knew very well what exactly his sister was depressed about. It was simply that he was too monstrous.
This had invisibly brought Qian Renxue enormous pressure, especially since he normally did not cultivate much at all.
Yet his soul power level still rose so quickly, and Qian Renxue did not know the reason, so she naturally felt very unbalanced inside.
She only needed some proper guidance.
After listening to Qian Renheng's words, the confusion in Qian Renxue's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unyielding, tenacious light!
"I won't give up on myself, stupid Brother!"
Qian Renxue clenched her tender pink fist and said, "Since Brother is that strong, then Xiao Xue won't get stuck in a dead end either!"
"I only had to look at it another way to realize it."
"Wow—someone this powerful is actually my, Qian Renxue's, big brother. Having such a strong big brother... Xiao Xue is really amazing."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue gave a little chuckle, revealing two adorable small canine teeth, and said, "And precisely because Big Brother is up ahead holding the line, Xiao Xue should work even harder in her cultivation!"
"If I can't walk side by side with Big Brother in the future, then Xiao Xue will be Big Brother's pursuer. At the very least... I can't let Big Brother leave me too far behind!"
Qian Renheng was amused when he heard that. For his little sister to think this way was pretty good too.
"As expected of my, Qian Renheng's, little sister. As expected of the little sister who could accompany me to dig up graves in the middle of the night!"
With a laugh, Qian Renheng waved his hand grandly and said, "Come on, stop sitting here. Today, Big Brother will personally teach you how to control your soul power more precisely."
"Only by laying this foundation well will you be able to better use the self-created soul skills I teach you!"
"Mm!" Qian Renxue nodded hard, like a little warrior brimming with motivation, and followed Qian Renheng to the center of the training field.
Under Qian Renheng's unreserved instruction, Qian Renxue relied on her outstanding talent to correct, bit by bit, the errors in how she circulated her soul power. Her control over those highly difficult self-created soul skills also became more practiced.
Qian Renxue's talent was not poor. It could even be said to be extremely strong. It was just that she had a monster of an older brother in front of her.
Meanwhile, Ming Ji and Chun Xing, who had come out, quietly watched the siblings interact for a while from the side.
Then they very tactfully withdrew to the edge of an open area nearby.
One black and one green, two stunningly beautiful figures sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, focused their minds, and began refining the soul power drifting between heaven and earth.
Sunlight spilled over the training field. The two siblings worked up a sweat, and though they were very tired, they were enjoying themselves.
Qian Renheng corrected Qian Renxue's mistaken methods of circulation again and again, while at the same time sensing the pure soul power continuously surging out from the meridians within his body.
At every moment, he could feel his foundation growing deeper at an astonishing speed!
The invisible barrier blocking the peak of level twenty-nine, under the constant scouring of this vast energy, had already begun to teeter on the verge of collapse.
The corners of Qian Renheng's mouth lifted slightly. He was already extremely close to breaking through that thin layer of paper.
Most likely, it would not take much longer before his soul power level broke past level twenty-nine and stepped into the threshold of level thirty.
