Dual Cultivation with Qian Renxue

Dual Cultivation with Qian Renxue

Being this close made Qian Renxue blush. "L-let's begin."

"Alright."

They both faced forward again and entered a meditative cultivation state together.

"What a wondrous feeling."

Their souls, bodies, and Soul Power seemed to merge into one at that moment.

Their cultivation speed truly far surpassed their previous pace!

"So fast!"

Qian Renxue was overjoyed, gradually losing herself in the sensation.

Soon, three hours passed, and it was noon when Chu Ye stopped.

"Keep going! I feel like I'm about to break through!"

"What? Break through? Alright."

Seeing this, Chu Ye continued cultivating. Another hour passed, and Qian Renxue's Soul Power finally broke through to level 33. At the same time, Chu Ye, who had already reached the peak of level 12, also broke through to level 13.

"I broke through!"

"So did I!"

Both of them were delighted, and they actually high-fived each other unconsciously.

Their relationship seemed to be gradually changing from that of unfamiliar acquaintances into friends.

Qian Renxue said happily, "Our cultivation speed really doubles when we cultivate together. Chu Ye, from now on, aside from our individual martial soul research classes and Spirit Master theory classes, you'll cultivate Soul Power and train combat awareness and techniques with me."

"From now on...?"

Looking at the girl before him, Chu Ye knew that Spirit Hall was about to formulate two major plans for the future: first, the Soul Hunting Operation; second, the Infiltration Plan.

Qian Renxue was the core of the Infiltration Plan. Before long, she would head alone to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, disguise herself as Xue Qinghe, prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and carry out the Heaven Dou Palace Change, directly seizing imperial authority over the Heaven Dou Empire.

And once she left, she would be gone for twenty years!

Clearly, Qian Renxue had no idea yet that she would one day infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

And clearly, Qian Renxue was passionate about cultivation and eager to grow stronger. Yet because of the plan, she would have to temporarily give up cultivating, even abandon all her own preferences, give up being a girl, and force herself to become someone else.

"What are you spacing out for? Don't tell me you're unwilling?"

"I am. We'll cultivate together from now on." Chu Ye's expression turned serious.

Naturally, he hoped to cultivate with Qian Renxue, but he feared it would be difficult to change what was about to happen. After all, something as significant as the Infiltration Plan was not something the current Chu Ye could alter. He understood that very well.

"Then it's settled! I'm heading back now. See you tomorrow, bye-bye~"

"Bye-bye!"

After waving Qian Renxue goodbye, Chu Ye returned to his room to rest as well.

Early the next morning, Chu Ye arrived at the Pope's Palace Cultivation Ground full of fighting spirit. He paused before a stone stele, which displayed the strength rankings of Spirit Hall disciples.

Both ordinary disciples and Core Disciples were between the ages of six and twenty-five. After turning twenty-five, they had to take part in Spirit Hall affairs and seek a position.

At present, none of the higher-ranked names belonged to people like Qian Renxue, Xie Yue, or Yan. They were all unfamiliar names, while Chu Ye's own name was far beyond the thousandth rank.

He was nowhere near the rankings.

"Sooner or later, my name will climb to the very top of this Ranking Stele."

Chu Ye withdrew his gaze and stepped inside with confidence.

Although Chu Ye was now Bibi Dong's personal disciple, Bibi Dong did not have time to personally teach him every day. Most of the time, he cultivated alongside disciples of similar age.

Everyone's training was roughly the same, cultivating all four areas simultaneously according to Bibi Dong's instructions.

Before long, Qian Renxue arrived as well. Her appearance immediately stirred up most of the male disciples. "It's Young Master Qian Renxue!"

"Strange, Young Master rarely comes here to cultivate at this time!"

"Could she be here to see me?"

"Come on, quit dreaming already. Why would Young Master be looking for you?"

Qian Renxue was extremely popular and had long become someone many disciples admired, worshipped, and secretly loved. However, few disciples dared to approach her.

First, there was her status as Young Master Qian Renxue. Second, if they were not strong enough, they could easily be targeted—or even beaten up—by Qian Renxue's talented and powerful admirers.

At that moment, one particularly formidable admirer walked toward Qian Renxue with a broad smile.

The boy was nine years old and named Yu Hu. His Soul Power was level 18, and he possessed considerable talent. His background was no ordinary one either—among the grandchildren of Spirit Hall's elder, the Title Douluo She Long, the Snake Lance Douluo, he was the most talented.

He approached Qian Renxue with a cheerful smile. "Renxue, you're here too."

"Mm."

Qian Renxue responded indifferently.

"Well, Renxue, may I invite you to cultivate together..."

Before Yu Hu could finish speaking, he discovered that Qian Renxue had already walked away. She went straight to Chu Ye, chatting and laughing with him.

Yu Hu immediately felt humiliated, frozen where he stood with an awkward expression. He looked at Chu Ye with a hint of hostility, clenching his fists slightly. "Damn it, who is this kid? He seems pretty close to Renxue."

"Brother Yu Hu, you don't know? He's Chu Ye!" said a disciple who was quite close to Yu Hu.

"Chu Ye?"

"The Chu Ye with a God-tier Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, whom the Pope took in as a personal disciple?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Hmph, so what if it's him?" Yu Hu snorted, though his hostility noticeably lessened. He was still somewhat wary of that status.

"Chu Ye, let's go train over there together."

"Alright."

At Qian Renxue's invitation, the two went off alone to train.

"When did Chu Ye become so close to Young Master Qian Renxue?" Xie Yue and Yan both looked baffled.

"I don't know either." Hu Liena shook her head as well.

This scene instantly stirred the emotions of many male disciples.

"Holy shit! Young Master Qian Renxue is actually this close to that kid!"

"They're even training together!"

"Damn it! I haven't even said a single word to Young Master!"

"You want to talk to her? She's never even looked at me properly!"

"Fuck, I'm so jealous! I wish I were the one standing beside Young Master right now!"

A group of disciples stared at Chu Ye with envy, jealousy, and resentment written all over their faces.

Chu Ye naturally sensed their emotions and smiled helplessly to himself. Well, looks like I've become public enemy number one.

"Ignore them. Let's begin training."

"Mm."

Qian Renxue turned serious. "Chu Ye, although you're her disciple, and not many people on the entire continent would dare try to kill you, there will always be times when you're alone. Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself. You need to grow stronger—don't get yourself killed someday and drag me down with you."

"So, I'll help you become stronger as much as I can. We'll begin with one-on-one combat training. I'll help you improve your combat awareness and fighting techniques."

"Then thank you."

"We won't use Martial Souls or soul skills. We'll fight purely with our bodies. Chu Ye, come at me."
