Qian Renxue's Combat Progress and the Terrifying Conversion Spirit Array
The sun and moon flew like shuttles, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Around the academy's arena, the crowd of onlookers fell silent.
All eyes were fixed on the two figures fighting fiercely above.
The battle between Qian Renxue and Xiao Qingyi had reached a fever pitch.
The sounds of space shattering rang out one after another as the two darted and twisted through the air.
After a full half month of beatings, Qian Renxue had finally found her feel for combat.
Having fully mastered all the power of the first level of the Samsara Scripture, Qian Renxue could give any Dou Zong below five stars a run for their money.
Among the experts on Jia Nan Academy's Strong Ranking, only Xiao Qingyi could now hold a firm advantage over Qian Renxue.
Crack!!!
With a tremendous, crisp sound, several spatial rifts hundreds of feet long suddenly split open in the sky, and a sword-wielding figure fell from the air.
As soon as she landed, Qian Renxue drove her sword into the ground, but even so, she plowed a trench several hundred meters long before finally managing to steady herself.
Xiao Qingyi also descended slowly from the air, landing in front of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue rose, put her sword away in her Storage Ring, and said with a bitter smile, "I lost again."
Xiao Qingyi shook her head gently, a trace of admiration in her eyes, which were like clear pools. "Sister Xue, you've grown much stronger than you were half a month ago."
"If I hadn't broken through to Eight-Star Dou Zong, defeating you would have been far from easy."
Qian Renxue knew Qingyi was trying to comfort her, but why did those words feel so wrong?
Eight-Star Dou Zong...
Come to think of it, Xiao Qingyi had made that breakthrough almost as an afterthought while giving her a beating.
All she could say was that there really was nothing she could do against a monster like that.
In the Douluo World.
The various factions could not help marveling at Xiao Qingyi's monstrous talent.
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi could not help exclaiming in wonder. "This Jia Nan Academy really is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. That little girl called Xiao Qingyi looks to be only in her teens, doesn't she? With talent like that, she probably has the makings of a Dou Di too!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked envious as well. "If a genius like that belonged to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wouldn't our sect flourish for all eternity?"
Yet those were only words.
How could a young genius whose strength had already far surpassed that of a Peerless Douluo possibly think much of a little sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Whenever they thought of that, they grew even more envious of the Spirit Hall's abundant good fortune.
In the Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu and the others watched Xiao Xue's rapid progress, grinning from ear to ear.
After being subjected to the Dou Qi Continent's overwhelming superiority for so long, they had all come to terms with it.
In any case, Xiao Xue had only just arrived, so it was normal for her to be unable to match the locals for the time being. They believed that one day, Xiao Xue would also become one of the Dou Qi Continent's strongest experts!
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared.
Whether in the Douluo World or among the people of Jia Nan on the sky screen, everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden phenomenon.
Indistinct, intricate patterns appeared in the once-blue sky, intertwining until they formed a vast, boundless super array.
The students stared at the super array of such immense scale, their mouths hanging open in astonishment.
Qian Renxue gazed at the array in the sky and murmured, "So this is the Conversion Spirit Array..."
The people around her heard her words and could not help asking, "What is a Conversion Spirit Array?"
At that, even Xiao Qingyi, who stood nearby, turned a curious gaze on Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue shook her head. "Master didn't tell me exactly what a Conversion Spirit Array is. He only said he would set up five super arrays like this to connect the entire Dou Qi Continent."
Everyone listened, dumbstruck. Most of them had never even ventured beyond the relatively small Northwest Continent. Just how grand an undertaking would an array that could connect the entire Dou Qi Continent be?
Surely the Domain Lord was the only person on the Dou Qi Continent capable of such a feat.
At that thought, everyone's admiration for Hun Tiandi rose to yet another level.
The reason was simple: as far as they knew, everything Hun Tiandi did was immensely beneficial to them.
Leaving everything else aside, his transformation of Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion alone had brought earth-shaking changes to the entire Northwest Region.
In the early days, the Northwest Continent had been remote and poor in resources. Let alone a Dou Zong, even a Dou Emperor had been among the top fighting forces of any faction.
Then Hun Tiandi had arrived, opened Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, and used his great divine abilities to spread the spiritual essence within the Ancient Emperor's Cave Mansion across the northwestern lands.
Only then had this barren continent come to shine no less brightly than the Central Plains.
For that reason, the people of the Northwest Continent had always revered Hun Tiandi as a god.
Now that Hun Tiandi had once again undertaken such a grand endeavor to set up this so-called Conversion Spirit Array, he must be seeking to bring blessings to all the people!
Above the clouds, Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged in the air. With each wave of his hand, countless runes took shape, steadily forming the array.
The Grand Spirit Conversion Array was more complicated than he had imagined. Creating five arrays that could link the entire Dou Qi Continent together required the work of at least a Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays.
Over the course of this entire half month, even with Hun Tiandi's deep reserves, the array had consumed most of his Dou Qi.
Fortunately, the array had been completed without a hitch.
For now, the entire array remained inactive. Once it was linked with the other arrays, the spirit conversion could begin.
With that done, Hun Tiandi vanished in a flash and returned to Jia Nan Academy.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue sprang into the air and turned into a streak of light, heading toward Hun Tiandi.
When Qian Renxue found Hun Tiandi, he was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breathing.
Sensing Qian Renxue's arrival, Hun Tiandi opened his eyes and looked at her. "Xue'er, did you need something from me?"
Qian Renxue said worriedly, "Master, you don't look very well..."
"It's nothing. I just expended quite a lot."
"I see your practical combat skills have been improving quickly lately."
Qian Renxue lowered her head, a little embarrassed. "They're all right. I still can't beat Qingyi."
"That's perfectly normal. The gap between your foundations is too great. If you were at the same realm, you could defeat her."
"If you want to fight above your level, you'll need to take your Samsara Scripture a step further."
Qian Renxue cupped her hands and asked for guidance. "Master, this disciple is slow-witted. I still haven't sensed the opportunity for a second samsara."
This had been troubling her lately.
When cultivating the Samsara Scripture, aside from the daily cultivation of Dou Qi, the most crucial point was to find the opportunity to awaken the power of samsara.
Yet despite all this time, she had been unable to find that opportunity, and her cultivation had stalled as a result.
"There's no rush. That was also why I brought you out this time. Go back and rest first. We'll set out tomorrow."
With that, Hun Tiandi returned to meditation.
"Yes, Master."
Qian Renxue cupped her hands in salute, then withdrew.
