"Tang Hao, Tang San, I, Xiao Chenyu, will be irreconcilable enemies with you!"

Seeing Xiao Chenyu's twisted expression and hearing his hoarse, hysterical voice, Xu Qianqian could not help but sigh.

"What do you have to be irreconcilable enemies with them? Your mere innate rank-four soul power?"

"I..."

Xiao Chenyu opened his mouth to say something, only to realize he had no idea how to refute her.

Tang San had innate full soul power and had already reached rank 29 before leaving Notting Academy. On top of that, he had a Titled Douluo father protecting him. What did Xiao Chenyu have?

He had started with innate rank-four soul power and had only reached rank 24 at eighteen. They were simply on entirely different levels.

It was said that if one failed to break through to rank 30 soul power by the age of twenty, they would never achieve much in life.

Could he reach rank 30 by the age of twenty?

To be honest, Xiao Chenyu had no confidence at all.

"I..."

At that thought, Xiao Chenyu's face was filled with dejection, as though he had lost all light.

"Summon your martial soul and take a look. You might gain something from it."

Xiao Chenyu froze, then instinctively summoned his martial soul.

"Th-this... is this my martial soul?" Xiao Chenyu was full of disbelief.

Judging from its appearance, his martial soul was indeed still a wolf. But this sense of pressure was completely unlike anything he had felt before. He could say with certainty that his current self could take on several of his former selves.

Looking at his martial soul, it was still a wolf, but it appeared more majestic and far more ferocious.

It was like the finest among wolves. Both its fur and its gaze exuded the aura of a king.

"Your martial soul is now a Gale Wolf King. It's roughly equivalent to a martial soul evolution. Anyway, that part isn't important. You only need to know that your martial soul has improved."

"Sense your soul power for a moment. You don't need me to tell you your current soul power rank, do you?"

"Uh, alright." Xiao Chenyu was still somewhat dazed, but he began circulating his soul power.

"Tw... rank 29!"

"That's right. Your martial soul is a wolf, and it was already close to having the wind element attribute."

"I simply wanted to see if I could improve your martial soul's quality a little. As for how I did it, it's hard for me to explain clearly."

"Take another look. Aside from your martial soul, is there anything else?"

Xiao Chenyu closed his eyes and sensed his own condition.

In the blink of an eye, a strange glass orb appeared in his palm. The pattern within resembled a three-bladed electric fan, and it was emerald green.

"What is this?" Xiao Chenyu instinctively looked toward Xu Qianqian. His brain was not good enough to keep up with his sister, and he had long accepted that fact.

"This is called an Eye of God. The reason your martial soul was able to evolve is also because of this Eye of God."

"The Eye of God must be very precious, right? You gave it to me, so what about you...?"

Xiao Chenyu thought of the green glowing object he had clutched before he nearly died. It had been this Eye of God.

It had enabled him to escape from the hands of a Titled Douluo, and it could even evolve a martial soul. No matter how he thought about it, it was far from ordinary.

"You're my little brother. If I don't give it to you, who else would I give it to?" Xu Qianqian covered her forehead.

Originally, she had not intended to give this Eye of God to Xiao Chenyu.

The Book of Wind could only produce one wind-element Eye of God, and she had not even properly studied it herself!

But if she had not done so at the time, she would never have been able to reach Xiao Chenyu in time to save him from that distance.

Her domain only extended one thousand meters, while Xiao Chenyu had been several thousand meters away.

If not for her perception range reaching ten thousand meters, Xiao Chenyu would probably have died long ago.

"Alright, enough of that." Xu Qianqian waved her hand. "With your current talent, you are no worse than those geniuses on the continent."

"Study the Eye of God properly. You may not be without hope of taking revenge in the future."

"Sis, I understand."

Xiao Chenyu stood up, clutching the Eye of God in his hand as his gaze became resolute.

Xu Qianqian continued, "Your Eye of God has become part of your martial soul. You can hide it within your martial soul, and no one will discover it."

"You can also use it as a storage soul tool. It's quite convenient..."

As he quietly listened to Xu Qianqian explain the Eye of God, Xiao Chenyu could not help but grow curious about where his sister had gone during the years she had been missing.

Not only could she obtain such unusual things, but she could cultivate herself as well. She had even become absurdly capable of fighting a Titled Douluo.

"Sis... can I ask you something?" Xiao Chenyu looked at Xu Qianqian, who was several heads shorter than him, seeming hesitant to speak.

"Go ahead!"

"You haven't seemed to grow any taller these past six years."

Xu Qianqian: "..."

"What a strange thing to focus on." Xu Qianqian rolled her eyes at Xiao Chenyu. "My situation after awakening my martial soul and gaining soul power is rather special. It doesn't mean I'll stay this short forever."

"And mind your own business."

"Okay." Xiao Chenyu did not dare ask further.

Two months later.

Xiao Chenyu and Xu Qianqian joined forces to kill a 2,200-year-old soul beast.

Having reached Level 30, Xiao Chenyu successfully obtained his third soul ring and advanced to the realm of a Level 31 Soul Elder.

In the past, Xiao Chenyu would have laughed in his dreams if he could become a Soul Elder at eighteen.

But now...

"Big Sis, are you leaving?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl in white, Xiao Chenyu had only truly come to understand, after spending so long in the Soul Beast Forest, just how knowledgeable this big sister—who was now even younger than him—really was.

Whether it was soul beasts, soul masters, or even what to do when encountering the same kind in the Soul Beast Forest to avoid trouble, these were all things Xiao Chenyu had found difficult to learn in the past.

But today was the day the siblings would part ways.

"Yes. I've taught you everything I can." Xu Qianqian smiled faintly.

"Chenyu, you're already a qualified soul master. If you want revenge, you must become strong. I have my own matters to attend to as well. This separation is for a better reunion next time."

"No one starts out standing in the sky. If you want to become a high-level soul master respected by everyone on Douluo Continent, the journey itself is indispensable."

Silence. Looking at Xu Qianqian, Xiao Chenyu fell silent for a long while.

At last, he gathered his courage and spoke.

"Big Sis, I like—"

"Quiet! If you say some things aloud, I'm afraid we won't even be able to remain siblings."

Xu Qianqian gently shook her head.

"In the future, you may find someone you like, but that person won't be me."

"Because I, Xu Qianqian, don't like boys!"

Xiao Chenyu froze. Before he could recover, Xu Qianqian had already turned into a pale streak of light and flown into the distance.

Outside the Soul Beast Forest.

Xu Qianqian scratched her temples in distress. After a long while, she leaned against the trunk of a large tree and sat down.

"Kids that age are really hard to deal with. Is this what they mean by the Romance Continent?"

Xu Qianqian grabbed a handful of weeds from the ground and tossed them into the sky. Watching the white clouds drift overhead, she murmured, "Our karma is settled, Xiao Chenyu. As for what level you can reach in the future, that depends on your own fortune!"

A moment later, the gentle light in Xu Qianqian's eyes turned cold and sharp.

"Tang Hao, since you struck first, don't blame me for striking back. I want to see how long you, Haotian Douluo, can hold out while carrying those injuries."

Xu Qianqian transformed into a streak of emerald light that tore through the sky, flying toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital.
