"Damn it, what exactly is going on?"
"Why were there so many absurd things happening on Douluo Continent?"
"How had people who shouldn't have existed already been born at different points in time?"
Cold sweat covered Yu Xiaogang's face as he carefully searched through his memories.
That was right. His memories of the past told him that this world really was Douluo Continent—the life he had experienced before the age of six.
It was identical. Nothing had changed at all.
"Could my rebirth have caused time to become chaotic?"
"No... no... If that's the case, could Dugu Bo's medicinal garden have shifted as well?"
Yu Xiaogang clutched his head in agony and paced back and forth through the room.
"Damn it!!"
He realized that everything in his memories was completely different from everything he was seeing now.
"Forget it. The most important thing now is to find that old poisoner's medicinal garden first."
"I need to solve my talent problem first."
He recalled his experiences from his previous life.
He had not even reached Rank 30 before turning fifty.
The humiliation of that life absolutely could not be repeated in this one.
"I don't want to be unable to break through Rank 30 and remain stuck until I'm fifty."
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, pushed open the door, and walked out. He decided to find his current father—
Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He would persuade him and make him believe in him.
At the center of the training ground, a scarlet whirlwind of blood was wildly sweeping through everything.
It moved so fast that no human shape could be seen at all.
The outlines of the two greatswords had completely vanished, leaving only rings of scarlet arcs constantly bursting and fading in the air, as though something were continuously slicing apart everything around it at a frequency too fast for the naked eye to catch.
His entire body was a rapidly spinning scarlet storm.
He swept from one end of the training ground to the other, then back again, leaving trails of churning blood mist along his path.
Luo Jiuyou had already been training for nearly two hours.
Blood Rage remained active the entire time. Blood energy surged around him, coiling around the blades and wrapping around his arms, shoulders, and back.
A scarlet gleam filled his eyes, while dense, unmelting blood energy shrouded his entire body.
His attack speed grew faster and faster, his power heavier and heavier. Every swing of his sword carried a deep whistle through the air, joining together into an endless roar.
When his blood energy dropped to thirty percent, Death Refusal activated.
His blood energy erupted violently, the scarlet aura instantly surging as all his attributes rose once more.
It was as though he had been reignited. His speed abruptly increased by another level, and the area covered by his curtain of swords expanded by a full circle.
The blood mist spread farther and farther, until the entire training ground seemed occupied by a continuously spinning scarlet storm.
Several little girls nearby sat or stood in a circle, watching.
Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on the ground, propping her cheeks in her hands and tilting her head with a lifeless expression.
"Little Junior Brother is so diligent... practicing swordsmanship early in the morning."
Qian Renxue held a pastry in her hand, took a bite, and slowly added, "Did you think everyone was like you, sleeping until the sun was high in the sky?"
"I was conserving my strength!"
"Conserving your strength? I saw you copying books at the table until you fell asleep last night. You even drooled all over the paper."
Bibi Dong's face reddened. "I-I didn't!"
"Want me to call Guyi over to testify?" Qian Renxue turned to glance at Ye Guyi, who was standing nearby.
Ye Guyi smiled faintly and shook her head.
Bibi Dong puffed out her cheeks and glared at Qian Renxue. "You second junior sister, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't tear me down at least once a day?"
Qian Renxue gave a light snort. "I'm helping you see yourself clearly."
The two started bickering again as they talked.
Bibi Dong reached out to pinch Qian Renxue's cheek. Qian Renxue dodged to the side and casually stuffed the remaining half of her pastry into Bibi Dong's mouth.
Bibi Dong made two muffled noises, her cheeks puffing up like a hamster's. She glared with wide eyes but could not say a word.
Ye Guyi's shoulders shook as she laughed beside them.
Na'er blinked as she looked at Bibi Dong. "Eldest Senior Sister looks so pitiful."
Zi JI stood behind Na'er and expressionlessly glanced at Luo Jiuyou, who was training, before withdrawing her gaze.
Bi Ji watched attentively instead, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Bibi Dong finally swallowed the pastry, patted her chest to catch her breath, then let out a faint sigh.
"So boring... Staying in Spirit Hall every day, I'm practically growing spiderwebs."
Qian Renxue glanced at her. "You have a spider martial soul. Isn't it normal for you to grow spiderwebs?"
"You!!"
Bibi Dong exploded again and pounced at Qian Renxue.
The two tangled together.
Ye Guyi finally could not hold back her laughter. She then cleared her throat and tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Come to think of it... I'm feeling a little stifled too. I want to go out for a walk."
"Go? Where?" Bibi Dong poked her head out from beneath Qian Renxue's arm.
Qian Renxue also stopped playing around, pushed Bibi Dong's head back down, and tilted her head in thought.
"How about... taking on some missions from the Angel Legion?"
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.
"The Angel Legion? That Angel Legion that specializes in clearing out Fallen Soul Masters?"
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded. "The Angel Legion releases missions every so often for the young Soul Masters of Spirit Hall to gain experience.
"I heard that quite a few Fallen Soul Masters caused trouble a while ago. The Angel Legion should have accumulated quite a few missions by now."
Ye Guyi nodded slightly as well. "My father is a member of the Angel Legion... When I was little, I heard him mention that those missions were dangerous, but they really were good opportunities for training."
Bibi Dong sprang to her feet.
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!!"
Qian Renxue grabbed the back of her collar. "Don't rush. Angel Legion missions aren't something you can just pick up whenever you want. We need to ask about the situation first."
Just as they chattered away in discussion, a gentle yet deep voice suddenly came from the sky.
"Children, do you want to go out and gain experience?"
All six of them looked up at once.
Even Luo Jiuyou, who had been whirling his twin swords like a cyclone, stopped.
Qian Daoliu had appeared in the air above the rear courtyard at some unknown time. His white robe embroidered with golden patterns glimmered faintly beneath the sunlight.
"Grandpa!!"
Qian Renxue was the first to react, bouncing toward Qian Daoliu.
The others hurriedly followed.
Qian Daoliu slowly descended into the courtyard. Looking at the seven children gathered around him, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Grandpa, do you mean it? Can we really take Angel Legion missions?"
Qian Renxue tugged on Qian Daoliu's sleeve, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Qian Daoliu reached out and rubbed her head.
"Without weathering wind and rain, how can one see a rainbow?"
Qian Renxue cheered. "That's great!!"
Bibi Dong also jumped excitedly. "We can finally go out and have some fun!"
Qian Daoliu's gaze passed over the little girls and landed on the white-haired boy in the distance, who had just sheathed his swords.
"Jiuyou especially is probably the most eager one, isn't he?"
Luo Jiuyou's steps paused slightly, and his expression stiffened for a moment.
"...Grandpa Qian is right."
By now, Luo Jiuyou had also begun calling Qian Daoliu Grandpa Qian along with the girls.
He really did want to go out and slash at something.
Preferably Fallen Soul Masters.
Otherwise, with this set of soul skills and martial soul of his—
Blood Rage, Bloodthirsty Demon-Sealing Slash, Outrage Break, and that scarlet Ghost Hand on his left hand—
No matter how one looked at him, he resembled a Fallen Soul Master.
If he did not go out and cut down a few real Fallen Soul Masters to establish his reputation soon, people would probably start treating him as a Fallen Soul Master himself.
"Then let's go to the Angel Legion and take on missions!"
Bibi Dong raised her fist.
"Let's go, let's go!" Qian Renxue tugged Qian Daoliu's sleeve toward the Angel Legion.
"Grandpa Qian, come with us!!" Na'er bounced along behind them.
Zi JI and Bi Ji exchanged a glance, then silently followed.
Ye Guyi walked at the very back, watching the chattering group ahead with a smile on her lips.
Surrounded by the children as they headed forward, Qian Daoliu shook his head and muttered, "A bunch of little ancestors."
But his steps never stopped.
