Six and a Half Years! The Three Major Challenges Qian Daoliu Set for Guang Yu and Qian Renxue—Please Keep Reading

"Mm-hm~"

Guang Yu couldn't help crying out. "What? Why are you hitting me just because we disagreed?!"

Qian Renxue said angrily, "You're so young, yet you already want to touch a woman's legs?! What is going on in that little pervert brain of yours?!"

"What could I possibly be thinking?! I was just appreciating them, that's all!" Guang Yu roared.

He really had only been appreciating them. He thought her legs looked good and were very fair, without the slightest improper thought.

Perhaps it was because this body of his was not even seven years old yet.

Although his soul belonged to an adult, some thoughts were fed back from the body to the brain, then born from the brain.

"You were really just appreciating them?"

"Yeah!"

"Even appreciating them isn't allowed. Don't look around recklessly!"

"Fine, fine, fine. Is it okay if I close my eyes?"

Guang Yu helplessly closed his eyes.

Quietly enjoying Qian Renxue's massage.

"Mm, that feels good~"

"Sister Xue'er, can you use a little more strength? And go a little faster?"

Qian Renxue adjusted her movements.

"That's right! That's right, just like that~ A little harder, mm! So good!"

Guang Yu wore an utterly blissful expression.

"Sister Xue'er, could you massage my waist too?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes. "You really have a lot of demands!"

"Sister Xue'er, and my legs! My legs are sore too!"

"You! Don't push your luck!" Qian Renxue huffed.

"I'm just accepting my victory graciously~"

"Ahhh~ This brat is driving me mad!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and secretly decided, Fine! Just wait until our training over the next while. I'll make sure to keep you in line!

Qian Renxue obediently massaged Guang Yu's legs as well.

Guang Yu sighed inwardly. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really never would have dared imagine it before! That one day, Qian Renxue, the Young Master of Spirit Hall, would give me a massage. This feels amazing! And she'll be doing it for an entire year!

"Sister Xue'er, thank you for your hard work tonight. Please take good care of me from now on."

Qian Renxue's smile carried a hint of something sinister. "Don't worry. When we train together from now on, this big sister will definitely take very, very good care of you!"

Guang Yu: "?????"

"Hmph~"

Qian Renxue gave an haughty snort, then turned and left.

"Oh no. She's not planning to beat me up during training, is she?"

They would definitely have plenty of sparring sessions when training together in the future. Right now, he truly couldn't beat Qian Renxue!

His victory today had been pure luck.

The next day, early morning.

Seven-thirty in the morning.

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue got up at nearly the same time, brushed their teeth, washed their faces, then met as they headed out.

Guang Yu greeted her, "Yo, morning, Sister Xue'er."

"Morning!"

"Let's go. We're gathering at the main hall."

"Mm!"

The two headed to the main hall together.

Other than Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, who had set off for the sea to obtain Whale Rubber, the other five Worship Elders had all arrived.

Qian Daoliu said, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoyu, starting today, the Seven Great High Priests will personally instruct you in cultivation."

"We will take turns guiding your training!"

"The main content of your training will be for the two of you to join forces and spar with each of the Seven Great High Priests."

"What?! Spar with the Worship Elders?!"

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue were both somewhat surprised, and they also felt immense pressure.

But having the chance to spar with these top-tier powerhouses at their current level was, in truth, an honor.

"Fighting high-level Titled powerhouses will certainly benefit you greatly. During the process, you will learn our combat styles and techniques."

"At the same time, while fighting us, each of us will teach you some special training methods."

"I will focus on your aerial combat abilities."

"The Second Worship will focus on close-range fighting, explosive power, and so on."

"The Third Offering will focus on speed-based combat techniques."

"The Fourth Grand Elder will focus on your abilities in group combat."

"The Fifth Offering will focus on training your Soul Power control, reaction speed, Spiritual Power enhancement, and similar abilities."

"The Sixth Offering and Seventh Offering will focus on joint attack tactics, tacit coordination, a two-person combat system, as well as preliminary training in Martial Soul resonance and Martial Soul Fusion Skills."

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue exchanged glances. They both sensed that the training ahead would likely be extremely arduous.

But neither of them expected that Qian Daoliu would then lay out three hellish conditions and challenges.

He said, "Xiaoxue, Xiaoyu, do you know under what circumstances a Soul Master can unleash their utmost potential and grow stronger more quickly?"

Guang Yu said, "Please speak plainly, Great Enshrined."

"Only under high-pressure conditions, strict demands, and goals that must be achieved can a Soul Master unleash their potential and grow stronger more quickly."

"Only under such conditions will you force yourselves to train hard, think of every possible way to grow stronger, and ultimately reach those demanding goals!"

"Seriously? We're doing this again?" Guang Yu looked miserable.

He had experienced it during the half year when he made Qian Renxue return and train desperately. Just as Qian Daoliu had said, he would force himself to cultivate and think of every method that could make him stronger as quickly as possible, then complete the final goal.

It truly could help Soul Masters grow faster!

But it was just too exhausting!

"So, over the next six and a half years, I will set three major challenges for you. You must give your all to complete them!"

"Xiaoyu, if you can accomplish them, I will give you an unexpected reward when the time comes."

Guang Yu was a little curious. "Great Enshrined, what reward?"

Qian Daoliu kept him in suspense. "You'll find out when the time comes."

"..." Guang Yu fell silent.

Although it was frustratingly suspenseful, well, fine.

"So, the three challenges are..."

"First, I want the two of you to join forces and kill a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse within two years!"

Guang Yu and Qian Renxue felt it was manageable upon hearing that. "Kill a Soul Emperor within two years? That doesn't sound too difficult."

"Not difficult? You'll know soon enough." Qian Daoliu chuckled inwardly and continued, "The Soul Emperor I want you to kill is a wanted criminal. I will tell you of his crimes, so you can kill him with a clear conscience."

"Half a year ago, this Soul Emperor criminal took a liking to a woman from an insignificant Soul Master family. The woman refused to follow him, but he would not stop harassing her, forcing the Soul Master family to fight him."

"That Soul Emperor criminal showed no restraint when he attacked and accidentally killed the family patriarch."

"The entire family of Soul Masters risked their lives to avenge their patriarch, but they were ultimately all killed by that man. He slaughtered more than a dozen people in succession."

"That man claimed that the family's desire for revenge was too strong, leaving him no choice but to kill them all. But! Murder was still murder."

"Later, that woman went to a local Spirit Hall Branch Hall to report the case, hoping that Spirit Hall would issue a warrant and hunt him down. So, we dispatched sixteen Soul Emperor-level bishops to surround and kill him, but unfortunately, the operation failed."

"He fought sixteen Soul Emperor bishops alone, broke through their encirclement, and escaped."

"Surrounded by sixteen Soul Emperor bishops and still managed to break through... Could this man be...?!"
