Xue Qinghe's Secret Watch
Of course, all of this discussion had nothing to do with Lin Qingchen. After the referee announced the result, he took Ye Lingling and left without looking back.
Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, VIP Seat No. 13.
Unlike the rows of seats in the audience, the VIP seats are private boxes.
The walls of the private room were made of metal, which blocked out the deafening shouts from outside. The front was made of special glass, which not only provided excellent protection but also blocked the view. People inside could see clearly out, but people outside could not see in.
The private room was large, with a low table and soft sofas around it. Sitting there, you could clearly see everything that was happening in the room.
On the low table sat a pot of tea and two cups, the tea steaming and emitting a delicate fragrance.
Xue Qinghe sat on the sofa with his hands folded on his knees, his back straight, his posture impeccable.
Although it was just a disguise, having been the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years, Qian Renxue never made a mistake in such trivial matters as demeanor.
His gaze was deep as he stared intently at the competition stage outside the window, his eyes fixed on Lin Qingchen.
Behind him stood a burly middle-aged man, arms crossed, leaning against the wall. He had a short beard on his chin and rugged features; he stood there like a wall.
Snake Lance Douluo She Long, is a prominent figure in the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall. He was sent to protect Qian Renxue, and his official identity is that of the Crown Prince's close attendant and captain of the guard.
"Qilin Begonia... Qilin..." Xue Qinghe murmured the name.
"So, even the young master is paying attention to the newcomers in the Soul Fighting Arena?" She Long said softly.
"Hehe, Uncle She, you don't know, do you? The three education committee members from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy recently sent a message saying that Qin Ming picked up a student named Lin Qingchen from the Star Dou Great Forest. He's only ten years old and has already broken through to level 30. He's the one who showed off his prowess in the competition just now."
"This talent is almost as good as mine."
She Long's eyebrows twitched.
"He's just an ordinary genius, how could he possibly compare to you, young master?"
He knew that Qian Renxue was at level 20 of the Innate Realm. No matter how talented this person was, he could only reach the maximum of Innate Full Soul Power.
Xue Qinghe smiled and shook his head, "Alright, Uncle She, you don't need to compare me to him. After all, my situation is quite special. Tell me what your opinion of him is."
"Interesting," She Long said softly.
Xue Qinghe tilted his head slightly. "Could you elaborate?"
"Although those two Iron Fist Team were only Iron Soul Fighter, the Iron Fist Giant Ape Soul Master was a full level thirty-seven, and his Martial Soul wasn't weak either. After the Martial Soul was attached to his Martial Soul Possession, his strength and defense were also quite good. The other person also used his Third Soul Skill, yet this kid was able to so easily withstand both of their charges head-on, and with such ease, it means that his physical strength is at least two levels higher than theirs."
She Long paused for a moment, then added, "It seems he only used his First Soul Skill. Even if it's just an amplification Soul Skill, it's enough to show that his physical strength is at least a whole major realm higher than his opponent's."
The next major realm is Soul Ancestor.
Xue Qinghe tapped his knee lightly with his fingers.
This is actually easy to understand. In the Douluo Continent, there isn't much focus on physical cultivation. It's mostly something that's developed incidentally when increasing Soul Power, so it won't be much higher than one's own cultivation level.
This is most evident in Tool Martial Soul, but Beast Martial Soul are relatively better.
However, if he could break through a major realm, Xue Qinghe thought to himself that the power boost from this Martial Soul would probably be no less than that of his great-grandfather's Golden Crocodile King.
In addition, the opponent's extremely fast cultivation speed...
A powerful Martial Soul and extremely high Innate Soul Power —a true genius, isn't he?
"Have you seen his Soul Ring clearly?"
"Young Master, although it was fleeting, if I'm not mistaken, it should have been one yellow and two purple rings, with the Second Soul Ring being purple."
Even She Long was somewhat shocked at this point; he hadn't quite figured out why the other party's Second Soul Ring was purple.
"Uncle She, what do you think of the other party's value?"
"It's hard to say how much he's worth. A Soul Master's value depends on his growth curve. Whether he can maintain this pace is anyone's guess." She Long straightened up, his arms now hanging at his sides, and said seriously, "But whether he's worth recruiting, in my opinion, is yes, absolutely worth it."
"Given his talent, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I believe he is absolutely no less capable than the elders," he said earnestly.
"It seems we're on the same page." Xue Qinghe smiled slightly. In fact, from the moment he received the message from the three education committee members, he had intended to win over Lin Qingchen.
Now, seeing how well this person performed, my belief has only grown stronger.
"But there's one more thing." Xue Qinghe turned around and looked at She Long, "He triggered the Xue Beng today, and Xue Xing won't let it go so easily."
She Long smiled.
"Isn't this a good thing? Young Master, I don't think he's someone to be trifled with. Letting him oppose Xue Xing and the others is a good thing."
"That being said, we can't let Xue Xing get too arrogant."
"So, what does the young master mean?"
"I remember the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's grand competition is about to begin. I'm going there to watch, and I can also see him and give my good uncle a warning."
Xue Qinghe stood alone in front of the crystal window, watching the two Soul Elder fighting back and forth on the competition stage outside.
However, compared to Lin Qingchen's performance just now, these two seemed quite ordinary, and Xue Qinghe didn't think much of them.
"Never mind, let's go back to the palace."
"Yes."
On the other side, Lin Qingchen was of course unaware that Xue Qinghe was secretly observing him.
After securing their first victory, he and Ye Lingling returned to the lounge together.
With no one around, Ye Lingling couldn't help but move a little closer.
"Qingchen, you were really amazing just now. I'm afraid Yu Tianheng wouldn't be a match for you, right?"
"We haven't actually tried it, so who knows?" Lin Qingchen smiled.
Although he knew very well that with his current strength, he could easily defeat Yu Tianheng even without using the Great Five Elements Divine Light, and if he used the Great Five Elements Divine Light, he would simply crush him like a bolt of lightning. Yu Tianheng, who relied on lightning attacks, wouldn't even be considered a speed bump.
However, Lin Qingchen possesses a remarkably humble character, and would certainly not speak so confidently at this moment.
Just as the two were talking, Yu Tianheng and his companion finished their fight and returned to the lounge.
Seeing that Yu Tianheng, the person in question, had returned, Ye Lingling didn't say anything more.
Before long, the others also arrived one after another.
They all won.
"Well done," Qin Ming praised at the opportune moment.
