Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III, Exclusively Tormenting Tang San

"Heh... why are you still so persistent!" Gong Yu said irritably, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Qian Renxue said coquettishly, "You're the thief, the heart thief!"

These words sound like cheesy pickup lines, but Gong Yu wasn't fooled.

"Heh... Stealing hearts? Don't give me that. Love might develop over time, but it hasn't been that long yet!" Gong Yu said calmly. "I can help you, but in exchange, you have to give me something, and you can't touch any of the ten people in my team. I'll arrange suitable people for you."

Hearing Gong Yu say this, Qian Renxue said somewhat reluctantly, "But Xue Ye only wants someone from your team to be her crown princess."

"Then let him die." Gong Yu sneered. In his eyes, Xue Ye was less than a fart.

Qian Renxue said with a resentful look, "If I could just kill him, I would have ascended the throne directly. Why would I need to ask you for someone?"

Gong Yu said, "The person I arranged for you is of high status. I will have the Dean adopt her as his goddaughter. Our Dean is a top-tier expert, even stronger than your grandfather. If you make her goddaughter the Crown Princess, Xue Ye will be laughing in her dreams."

"Alright, if she's the adopted daughter of a top-tier expert, then I can explain things to Xue Ye." Qian Renxue forced a smile. She didn't believe there was Soul Master stronger than her grandfather. In her opinion, even a top-tier expert could only manage a draw with her grandfather at most!

"Since there are no problems, let's talk about the betrothal gifts!" Gong Yu said with a sly smile, "Everything else is negotiable, but there's one thing that must be included in the betrothal gifts."

"What is it?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

Gong Yu said, "Your national treasure Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, must be given as a betrothal gift."

"What do you need that thing for? It's just a Soul Tool, not very useful." Qian Renxue said softly, but she was actually using a feigned retreat as a tactic. Since Gong Yu said he wanted that thing, she didn't think it was really useless.

Gong Yu said, half-jokingly, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is indeed a Soul Tool, but it belongs to Sea God Island. My people need that token to go to the island for training."

"Just a token?" Qian Renxue was also taken aback, wondering if Gong Yu was telling the truth.

"That's right, it's just a token. With that token, you can train in peace when you get to Sea God Island without being harassed. Do you think that Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is anything special?" Gong Yu said, but he was a little smug. Little brat, you dare to test me? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Okay, I will persuade Xue Ye to agree to use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as a betrothal gift."

"That's good." Gong Yu smiled. With the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Gong Lan's position as the Sea God should be secure.

Given Gong Lan's current physical strength, she can definitely withstand the Vast Sea Power, so the possibility of her being favored by the Sea God is very high.

Besides, even if he isn't favored by the Sea God, he can at least get his hands on the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud first, in case Tang San gets it in the future.

"So who did you arrange for me?" Seeing the smile on Gong Yu's face, Qian Renxue knew he was satisfied, so she took the opportunity to ask.

"Hehe... you're really impatient, aren't you? You're already eyeing your concubine." Gong Yu teased, then added, "I'll arrange for Cat Girl to be yours, but when your cheap uncle Xue Xing sees Cat Girl become your Crown Princess, I'm sure his expression will be quite something."

"Who is Cat Girl?" Qian Renxue became even more curious after Gong Yu mentioned Xue Xing.

Gong Yu smiled slightly and said, "Cat Girl is a girl who was once auctioned by the Heaven Dou Auction House. Because of an accident when she awakened her Martial Soul, she became a half-human, half-beast. As you know, many men have that kind of fetish and like beast women. Your cheap royal uncle is a typical example of that kind of person."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately expressed her dissatisfaction. "No, you can't just brush me off like this, giving me a beast woman as my crown princess. This is too much of a blow to the dignity of the royal family. Even if I agree, Xue Ye and the officials will not."

"Let me finish, why are you in such a hurry!" Gong Yu said impatiently. "The Cat Girl has returned to normal now, she's no longer half-human, half-beast, so you can rest assured that you can marry her as your crown princess."

"That's good." Qian Renxue added, "If he really was half-human and half-beast, then it's impossible to marry him. But since he's recovered, I'll talk to Xue Ye in a few days and have him send someone to propose marriage."

"Whatever you want!" Gong Yu nodded, then looked intently at Qian Renxue and said, "I'm a little curious, what exactly is your purpose in coming to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent, as a little angel of the Spirit Hall?"

Gong Yu asked this question on purpose. Of course he knew that Qian Renxue's purpose in becoming an undercover agent was simply to achieve something and attract Bibi Dong's attention. In the end, she was just lacking love!

Chapter 206 A Celestial Gift for a Beauty

"I want the whole world!" Qian Renxue said, but she didn't mean it. She knew very well that she just wanted to get Bibi Dong's attention!

Gong Yu didn't expose Qian Renxue's little scheme, but smiled disdainfully and said, "There are many simple ways to conquer the world; there's no need to choose the least efficient one."

Given your status as a descendant of angels, the fastest way to conquer the world is to quickly advance to the Soul Saint, then activate the Angel God Trial. With your aptitude, you can complete the trial in just a few years and successfully become a god.

"Once you become a god, conquering the world will be easy. Why bother being an undercover agent? Look at you now, you're twenty-five or twenty-six, and you've wasted all your time on scheming and backstabbing, so you're only at level fifty-something..."

At this point, Gong Yu paused, and after sensing Qian Renxue's level, he couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh," "You're already level sixty. You're just one more Soul Ring away from becoming Soul Emperor."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue pouted arrogantly, her eyes sparkling, as if to say, "I'm a twenty-five-year-old Quasi-Soul Emperor, isn't that amazing? Praise me, praise me!"

Gong Yu curled his lips and said with some disdain, "What kind of expression is that? Are you very proud? Let me do the math for you. You awakened your Innate Full Soul Power at the age of six with level 10, plus the level 10 given by the Angel's Blessing, which is a total of level 20 innate Soul Power."

However, it took you nearly 20 years to reach level 60. This includes deducting the at least 5-level boost from adding Soul Ring, so you actually only gained 35 levels in nearly 20 years, averaging 1.75 levels per year.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face suddenly stiffened, and her mood instantly soured. She knew that if she hadn't been an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire, but instead focused on cultivating in the Spirit Hall, she would at least be Soul Saint by now.

However, because she was pretending to be a prince, she was tied down by many worldly affairs, so she didn't have much time to cultivate, and thus her innate advantages were wasted.

"I..." Qian Renxue wanted to say something in rebuttal, but when the words reached her lips, she realized that she had no way to refute them. Immediately, she buried her head in Gong Yu's chest in shame.

The warm breath gently caressed the skin on Gong Yu's chest, causing him to tremble all over.

Perhaps provoked, Gong Yu immediately got up and pressed Qian Renxue onto the bed once again.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to do it again?" Qian Renxue was a little flustered. She had already been tortured for two hours, and she felt that she probably wouldn't be able to hold on if it continued. It's always best to stop when things have gone too far.

Gong Yu didn't waste time talking to her; he went straight to the point.

"What a tragedy!" Qian Renxue sighed softly, then her eyes gradually became misty.

Before long, beautiful sounds rang out again from inside the barracks, but unfortunately, due to the soundproofing Soul Tool, those outside couldn't hear them.

Two hours later, Qian Renxue was completely exhausted. She leaned against Gong Yu's chest, her face full of fatigue.

"Can I get pregnant?" Qian Renxue's question was interesting. Whether or not Gong Yu could get pregnant was not something he could decide, nor did she mean that. Rather, she was asking if she could have his child. If he agreed, she would not take any precautions after they returned.

However, if Gong Yu disagrees, she will naturally clean herself up and take some measures to prevent herself from getting pregnant after she returns home. The first two times she had sex with Gong Yu, she took some measures after returning home.

But this time she didn't want to take any measures, which is why she asked this question. At the same time, she was also testing Gong Yu to see if he really didn't give her any place in his heart, and that he only regarded her as an object to satisfy his physical needs.

Gong Yu felt conflicted. He could understand the meaning behind Qian Renxue's words. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for Qian Renxue at all. However, Qian Renxue was the daughter of his enemy, which made him feel like there was a thorn stuck in his heart, making him feel very complicated.

He sighed inwardly. Well, he'd already done it, so he should take on the responsibilities of a man. What did it matter if she was his enemy's daughter? He had to avenge his family and take in the woman; otherwise, he would have lived in vain.

Gong Yu replied, "If you can really get pregnant, I naturally won't object."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes welled up with tears. She knew that Gong Yu held a place for her in his heart, and that was enough.

But just as she was beginning to feel a little touched, she heard Gong Yu say, "But it would be even better if I could conceive a few years later. After all, I'm still quite young, and becoming a father now feels a bit premature."

Qian Renxue turned her head and glanced at Gong Yu's face. Although he looked mature, upon closer inspection, one could still see a hint of childishness. So she sighed and said, "Alright, he is indeed still a bit green. I understand what to do."

"What do you understand?" Gong Yu knew exactly what Qian Renxue meant. He said irritably, "Just let nature take its course. There's no need to do anything else. If you really get pregnant, are you afraid I won't take responsibility?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt a surge of joy. Since that was the case, there was no need to take any special measures after returning home. So she smiled and said, "Alright, let's just let things take their course."

"Your skills are a bit lacking; you need to make up for it." Gong Yu didn't want to talk too much about the child, so he changed the subject.

"How can we make up for it?" Qian Renxue asked. She also regretted her laxity and wanted to improve her strength as soon as possible. She could feel that Gong Yu was much stronger than her, and she wanted to close the gap between them as much as possible.

Gong Yu took out a long jade box from his Soul Tool, opened it, and found a medicinal herb inside.

It was a white, exquisite flower, looking as pure and immaculate as a blue lotus.

"What is this?" Qian Renxue looked at the herbs in the jade box. Just from the appearance, she could tell that this was definitely a rare and precious herb, but she didn't know what it was.

"This herb is called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone," Gong Yu explained. "It has the effect of nourishing tendons and bones, and unblocking the eight extraordinary meridians. You are currently level 60. Taking it should allow you to rise two or three levels without any side effects, and the medicinal effect will accumulate within you, lasting until level 70."

"No side effects to boost two or three levels?" Qian Renxue's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Then how should I take it?"

Gong Yu said, "Eat only the petals, then suck the stamens, and finally use your Soul Power to activate the absorption."

"Okay, I understand." With that, Qian Renxue took the jade box, sat up, and prepared to absorb the nutrients according to the method Gong Yu had described.

However, before she could even begin, Gong Yu stopped her, teasingly asking, "You just believe what I say and take it right away? Aren't you afraid I'll harm you?"

"Don't be afraid, I trust you." Qian Renxue smiled at Gong Yu and said, "I already belong to you completely, what else can't I trust? If you harm me, it only means I misjudged you. At that time, I will hate you, and then I will kill all the unfaithful men in the world."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Gong Yu was also taken aback. If he really betrayed Qian Renxue, she might actually turn evil. Like mother, like daughter. Both mother and daughter are love-obsessed and have extreme personalities. If they really turned evil, they were capable of anything.

Gong Yu then said, "Even if you believe me, you can't absorb it on the spot!"

"Why?" Qian Renxue, puzzled.

Gong Yu raised his hand and pinched Qian Renxue's jade-like face, saying, "We've been in this barracks for several hours already. Don't you see what time it is? It will take at least three hours to absorb the herbs. By then it will be dark, which will arouse suspicion!"

Furthermore, once you've finished absorbing it, your body will definitely expel a lot of impurities, and you'll smell terrible. You, as the Crown Prince, can't possibly take a bath here or leave covered in stench, can you? What would that look like!

So you should go back and absorb it then. After you get back, you can also have someone check it out to see if this herb really has the effects I described.

"I understand." Hearing this, Qian Renxue blushed. She hadn't thought about it that much before, but now that she thought about it, it really was true.

Especially when she thought about what Gong Yu said about getting rid of all the smelly impurities, she became even more unwilling. No matter what, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Gong Yu.

Gong Yu gently stroked Qian Renxue's long, smooth golden hair and said softly, "It's about time; you should go back now."

"Hmm." Qian Renxue nodded, then got up, dressed neatly, changed her appearance, and left.

Chapter 207 The Concept of Ring Fusion

After the afternoon's matches ended, the girls returned and chattered excitedly in Gong Yu's ear, telling him about the competition.

Gong Yu nodded occasionally, and sometimes just gave a casual "hmm," managing to get through it.

Afterwards, everyone had dinner together, and soon night fell.

Nothing happened during the night, and everyone returned to their barracks. Some practiced their cultivation, while others slept, and the night passed quickly.

As dawn broke and the first hint of light appeared on the horizon, Gong Yu and a group of girls jumped onto the roof of the barracks. They each found a suitable spot, sat down cross-legged, and began cultivating their Purple Demon Eye.

Upon seeing this, the Royal Knights were all surprised. They knew that the Knights Order also got up to train at roughly the same time every day, but they hadn't expected that the people from the Academy of the Gods would be so diligent in their training. No wonder they were so powerful.

Meanwhile, people from other colleges are still fast asleep, wrapped in their blankets!

Two hours later, the practice ended, and the sun was already high in the sky.

Gong Yu and the other girls first had breakfast, and then went to the training ground together.

In the rest area, Gong Yu looked at Liu Erlong and asked, "Erlong, which academy is our opponent today?"

Liu Erlong replied, "Blazing Fire Academy."

"Oh... Blazing Fire Academy, huh? Their strength is actually quite tall among those short guys!" Gong Yu nodded, then looked around at the group of girls and said, "Any of you, except for Zhu Zhuqing, should be able to take on seven in a row, so is anyone willing to volunteer?"

"I'll go." After Gong Yu's voice fell, Gong Xue raised her hand and said, "Perfect timing, I'll go up and show them my flames. I've wanted to fight the Blazing Fire Academy for a long time, but I've never had the chance!"

Gong Yu nodded, then smiled and said, "Alright, Xiao Xue, you go up there, but remember not to be foolish and immediately unleash your ultimate move. You need to learn to gain the greatest benefit with the smallest possible cost when facing seven opponents."

"Don't worry, I know. I'll send them all out of the ring one by one." Gong Xue's nonchalant manner suggested that she didn't take her opponents seriously at all.

But Gong Yu said, "To be honest, seeing you like this, I'm not at all at ease. You're not taking your opponents seriously at all. You think they're all Soul Ancestor, so none of them will be a match for you. But what you don't know is that Blazing Fire Academy still has a trump card up its sleeve!"

Upon hearing this, all the girls, including Liu Erlong, looked over in surprise.

"What's your trump card?" Gong Xue asked.

Seeing that Gong Xue was starting to look at him seriously, Gong Yu said solemnly, "Ring Fusion."

"What is Ring Fusion?" Gong Xue asked.

Not only Gong Xue, but all the other girls looked over with puzzled expressions, including Liu Erlong.

Gong Yu explained, "The Ring Fusion are not a skill, but a talent. Only some extremely special Soul Master can possess this ability. It is to release the Soul Power that can be released when using several of their Soul Ring and their Output Skills at the same time in an instant. It can also be said that they release a large amount of Soul Power in an instant to use a Soul Skill."

The biggest advantage of Ring Fusion is its explosive power. Under Ring Fusion, one's own Soul Power output is maximized, and the power of the Soul Skill used at this time will undoubtedly be multiplied.

After listening to Gong Yu's explanation, Gong Xue scratched her head, then stroked her chin and said, "Although I didn't hear it, I'll pay attention. But I still want to ask, if someone in the Blazing Fire Academy were to Ring Fusion, how powerful would it be?"

This question stumped Gong Yu. He pondered for a while, made a rough estimate, and then said, "The only one who can Ring Fusion is that Huo Wu. She is currently only a level 44 Soul Ancestor."

Therefore, the power of her Ring Fusion shouldn't be too strong, probably reaching the level of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill. Even if it's a little stronger, it won't exceed the strength of a twenty-thousand-year Soul Skill.

Gong Xue said, "Then there's nothing to worry about. The strength of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill might have hurt me if I weren't fire-attribute, but I am fire-attribute, and I'm at the extreme of fire-attribute. I already have a suppressive effect on the people from the Blazing Fire Academy, so their Soul Skill can't hurt me."

Gong Yu nodded, agreeing with Gong Xue's analysis. He said, "Alright then, just be careful when you go up there. I don't doubt your ability to win; I'm just worried you might get hurt due to carelessness. If winning the match only results in you being injured, I'd rather not win at all."

"Hehe... Is big brother saying sweet nothings? It sounds so cheesy." Gong Xue playfully stuck out her tongue, which made her group of sisters burst into laughter.

After a while of playful banter, the event finally began.

At the staff's prompting, Gong Xue took a few steps forward, then turned around and said playfully, "Everyone, just wait and see how I take them down seven in a row."

After saying that, she skipped and hopped away.

When Gong Xue, representing the Academy of the Gods, was the first to enter the arena, the members of the Blazing Fire Academy were immediately taken aback. They had thought that the Academy of the Gods would send Gong Qianqian, who was specifically there to counter them!

Then the people from the Blazing Fire Academy also came out, and their first to go on stage was their captain Huo Wushuang.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, almost simultaneously, both of them completed the process of releasing their Martial Soul.

On Gong Xue's side, a giant, five-colored bird, resembling a phoenix but different from one, soared into the sky from her body after a cry, circled twice in the sky, and then flew back to her body to possess her.

After possessing her, the five-colored bird disappeared, leaving only a pair of five-colored wings on Gong Xue's back. Five Soul Ring rings, yellow, purple, black, and yellow, pulsed out from beneath her feet. However, it seemed that everyone was already used to the abnormality of the people from the Academy of the Gods, so Gong Xue did not cause much of a commotion this time.
