Qian Renxue: Fourth Soul Ring (Part 2)

Qian Renxue: Fourth Soul Ring (Part 2)

Hearing Ling Feng's intention, Qian Renxue felt both touched and delighted.

Ling Feng was planning to save this Million Year Spirit Ring for her!

Her heart was sweet with happiness.

Ever since she was little, aside from her father and grandfather, no one had ever treated her this well.

Qian Renxue was deeply grateful to Ling Feng. At that moment, her whole body seemed to have taken on his shape.

He treats me so well. I can't let him down either! Qian Renxue secretly swore to herself.

Once I pass the Nine Trials of the Angel and become the God of Angels, I definitely won't forget his kindness.

She had to repay him properly.

Qian Renxue's gaze was resolute, her heart clear as crystal.

She had to become a god and repay Ling Feng's kindness.

With a goal in her heart, Qian Renxue was bursting with motivation.

She raised the Juque Sword in her hand and smashed it heavily down on the half-dead soul beast.

With that final strike, she ended its life.

With one slash of the Juque Sword, all life left the soul beast.

Whoosh~! A black spirit ring emerged from its corpse.

It radiated black light as it floated above the body.

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged, summoned her Angel Spirit, and drew the black spirit ring onto herself, using an Angel Spirit skill to absorb it.

Before long, Qian Renxue had absorbed the soul beast's spirit ring.

Perhaps because she was a fated great villain, the process went as smoothly as it possibly could.

Throughout the entire process, there was not even the slightest thrilling danger. It was as easy as eating and drinking.

The sight left Ling Feng staring blankly.

He did not recover for quite a while.

Little Black also stared at Qian Renxue in astonishment. He was no less shocked than Ling Feng.

Though he was a soul beast, after following Ling Feng for so long, he understood just how difficult it was for humans to absorb spirit rings beyond their level.

If their physical strength was insufficient, there was a risk of being burst apart when absorbing a powerful spirit ring beyond their level.

Of course, such things also existed among soul beasts.

It was like how Di Tian and the others had clearly captured Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, yet did not dare absorb him directly. Instead, they used a gentler method, gradually devouring Sky Dream Ice Silkworm bit by bit.

"Master, are you sure she's really only a level-forty Soul Ancestor?"

Little Black swallowed and quietly asked Ling Feng.

Ling Feng did not know how to answer Little Black. He had the same question himself.

"She's a genius. You can't judge geniuses by ordinary standards, understand?"

Ling Feng casually came up with an excuse and brushed Little Black off.

The moment he finished speaking, another scene that shocked Ling Feng unfolded.

After Qian Renxue absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring and truly became a Soul Ancestor, her Soul Power shot up from level forty to level forty-eight as if she had taken a stimulant.

She had crossed a full eight levels in one go.

For a moment, Ling Feng and Little Black—man and beast—could only stare at each other.

The shock Qian Renxue had brought them was simply far too great.

Only now did Ling Feng truly begin to wonder who was actually cheating.

Thinking back on both the original story and the present, Ling Feng suddenly discovered a startling fact.

Qian Renxue seemed to have always cultivated without a hitch. Other than suffering setbacks in family and love, she had never really suffered any losses.

Given how favored she was by heaven, no matter how he looked at it, Qian Renxue seemed to fit the template of a protagonist.

Thus, a bold thought arose in Ling Feng's heart.

So, was it possible that Qian Renxue was actually the true protagonist?

And Tang San was merely a transmigrator who had stolen the fortune of the Child of Fortune.

Ling Feng clicked his tongue as he thought this.

Putting those thoughts aside, Ling Feng looked at Qian Renxue with considerable satisfaction.

"Not bad. You've greatly exceeded my expectations.

"Your fourth spirit ring is a black spirit ring. You are the only one in thousands of years!"

After receiving such praise from Ling Feng, Qian Renxue smiled sweetly. Her crescent-shaped eyes curved like moons, and she seemed bathed in a layer of golden sunlight.

However, her smile stiffened the very next instant.

"So, to reward you, after much consideration, I've decided that your talent must not go to waste!"

"On top of practicing a hundred times a day, you must also go to the Dark Forest beneath Hidden Sword Peak and fight the soul beasts there barehanded."

"I'll have Little Black arrange a few soul beasts of similar strength to serve as your sparring partners."

Upon hearing that, Qian Renxue suddenly wore a miserable expression.

She nodded listlessly. "Oh~!"

Ling Feng paid no attention to whether Qian Renxue was happy or willing.

After making the arrangements for her, he turned to Little Black beside him. "Little Black, help her build a mansion."

"She'll be living here from now on."

"Yes, Master." Little Black nodded, then directly entered a berserk state and transformed into a Ten-Thousand-Zhang Giant Serpent.

The Ten-Thousand-Zhang Giant Serpent appeared in the sky, its wings like clouds hanging from the heavens. It flew down Hidden Sword Peak and headed toward the nearest town.

Shortly afterward, Little Black returned in his Ten-Thousand-Zhang Giant Serpent form.

Qian Renxue paused her sword practice and looked at the returning Little Black with several questions in her eyes.

Under Qian Renxue's puzzled gaze, Little Black flew directly above her and suddenly opened his mouth.

A one-hundred-square-meter mansion fell vertically from his mouth and covered Qian Renxue.

"Human little girl, your mansion."

With that, Little Black turned and left again, flying down Hidden Sword Peak once more.

Qian Renxue, trapped inside the mansion: "..."

A moment later, Little Black, who had already left, returned once again.

With several soul beasts clenched in his mouth, he threw them toward Qian Renxue, tossing every one of them into the mansion.

"Human little girl, these are your sparring partners for today.

"I've already told them not to strike to kill."

Inside the mansion, Qian Renxue had just finished practicing the sword manual for the hundredth time.

Just as she was about to finish today's task, several soul beasts suddenly fell from the sky the next second.

In an instant, Qian Renxue's delicate little face froze awkwardly.

Her whole body sagged, and her expression fell.

After the soul beasts entered the mansion and learned that their task was to serve as Qian Renxue's sparring partners, they gave her no time to react before instantly attacking.

Violent energy surged. Amid flying sand and stones, they darted forth like Gui Mei and attacked Qian Renxue from both sides.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue did not dare slack off in the slightest and hurriedly circulated her Soul Power to defend herself.

Her Angel Spirit activated instantly. Holy Angel Spirit Power surged forth, and two pairs of wings instantly grew from Qian Renxue's back. She lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her foot and leaped into the air like an elf, narrowly avoiding the attacking soul beasts.

Elsewhere, as Ling Feng was returning to his cottage, he seemed to recall something and suddenly stopped.

"System, where is my quest reward?"

Ding~! Congratulations to the host for completing the system quest: Escort Qian Renxue and successfully help her break through level forty and advance to Soul Ancestor.
