Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 248 Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul is Sealed

"Tsk, shameless," Shen Yuanyi said resentfully via telepathy.

"It's alright," Qian Renxue replied telepathically. "I never thought it would be so easy to shatter Shrek's image in people's minds. It always has to be done step by step; this is just the beginning."

Her plans targeting Shrek Academy and the Sea God faith had already begun long ago, from the various operations of the Spirit Hall at the beginning to the battles against the Sea Douluo and the Great Battle of the Far North.

However, everything done before had one major weakness: it was too far removed from the original population of the three kingdoms. The news that the Spirit Hall offered free spirit awakening and cultivation techniques was blocked by the three empires, and the border checks on people coming and going were more thorough, and so on.

But now it's different. Now she has led a group of people into the interior of the eastern part of the continent, and can truly get close to these fanatics.

For example, Xu Jiawei.

Therefore, today's events unfolded exactly as she had anticipated.

But it doesn't matter. The collapse of a city wall always begins with the appearance of the first crack, and the truth is always the sharpest blade.

However, Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Emperor Martial Soul was truly shattered; she knew that it was the Ice Emperor who had made the move.

Moreover, even a Limit Douluo wouldn't be able to detect Ice Emperor's move this time, because it was a pure spiritual and soul-level exchange. As far as she knew, the higher-ups of Shrek Academy did not possess divine sense.

As for that guy named Wang Dong... Qian Renxue guessed that even Wang Dong himself didn't know why he possessed that kind of "special mental power".

The match between Shrek Academy and Luo Yun Academy was replayed, and Shrek won again without a doubt.

However, this incident has also aroused suspicion among some members of the public, who feel that something is amiss, as if the royal family is protecting Shrek.

Meanwhile, outside Xingluo City, Su Xu, the Soul Douluo who had been slapped away by Xuanzi, was cautiously looking around, because he could tell from Xuanzi's last look that he was definitely going to be hunted down.

He remained silent, and for some reason, he stood up and spoke out for fairness and justice, yet he still ended up like this.

"Bang—"

Suddenly, a titled Douluo appeared beside him.

"Cheng Gang!" Su Xu glared hatefully at the newcomer, who was none other than the Giant Hammer Douluo of the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship, level ninety-one, with the Martial Soul Thousand-Pound Ant.

Su Xu, who had been sent flying by Xuan Zi's full power, was now too badly injured to fight against a Title Douluo.

"Dare to provoke Shrek Academy? His Majesty has ordered me to clean house!" Cheng Gang sneered, and the massive pincers of the Thousand-Pound Ant slashed towards Su Xu's waist.

Just then, a strange gray current appeared, followed by a huge bone dragon slapping the back of the Thousand-Pound Ant with its claw.

The Bone Dragon nearly killed the Thousand-Pound Ant, then took Su Xu and left. He didn't choose to linger, because this place was on the outskirts of Star Luo City. If he acted rashly, and the ant launched a counterattack in its death throes, it would cause a huge disturbance and invite trouble.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Su Xu, who had escaped death, clasped his hands in a gesture of gratitude.

"Are you willing to kill people with me?" Bone Dragon Douluo said calmly.

Su Xu's face was covered in blood. He looked at this strange Title Douluo and instantly understood why there were so many so-called "Evil Soul Masters" in this world.

"Snap—" Su Xu knelt on one knee and bowed to the Bone Dragon Douluo, "This subordinate is willing."

That evening, the video beads showing the daytime battle situation sold out again. However, CocoNair sensed the business opportunity in advance, so she worked overtime to produce twice as many video beads.

The Spirit Merchant Guild brought quite a few Spirit Masters this time, and in addition to the Spirit Masters who joined the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Branch of the Holy Spirit Cult, Qian Renxue also borrowed some Spirit Masters from Xu Tianran.

The hot topic today is whether Shrek cheated or not.

The sudden appearance of the Super Douluo – is he simply protecting his own or does he truly possess a wealth of knowledge?

What exactly is the reason behind the actions of the Star Luo Royal Family?

and many more.

Each of these is a significant topic, and the widespread sale of the Image Beads has provided the people of Xingluo City, who rarely come into contact with soul tools, with a basis for discussing these issues.

Meanwhile, CocoNair's team not only created ten highlights, but also ten tragic moments.

The most exciting moment of the day was Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement. The most tragic moment of the day was Huo Yuhao's right hand exploding.

Meanwhile, in the Shrek Academy lounge of the Star Emperor Hotel, a healing-type Title Douluo from the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship was invited. Her martial soul was Cordyceps, a special healing martial soul with a trace of ice attribute.

"His condition isn't that his martial soul is shattered, but rather that it's fractured," said the Title Douluo of the healing class. "Moreover, this child should have twin martial souls, and he should also possess a very powerful soul bone that is compatible with his martial soul. Therefore, he won't be in mortal danger; he just needs to rest and recuperate for a short period and won't be able to use his second martial soul."

Hearing this, the Shrek team members breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, how long will it take?" Wang Yan asked.

The titled Douluo smiled and said, "Don't worry, his martial soul will be repaired in ten days at most."

Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief; Huo Yuhao absolutely could not get into trouble.

He didn't know that Huo Yuhao, like Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, was already a designated member of the Shrek Seven Devils. He only felt that this kid was a stepping stone for him to enter the inner academy as a teacher in the future.

He has always defied public opinion and highly regarded Huo Yuhao's talent, even having a quarrel with Xuanzi over it.

After the Title Douluo left, Xiao Xiao said weakly, "Teacher Wang, actually, my family has a secret technique that can accelerate the recovery of a broken martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan was overjoyed.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Star Emperor Hotel, Qian Renxue was sitting with the Ice and Snow Emperors and Shen Yuanyi.

The four of them have been busy with various things for the past six months and haven't sat down and chatted like this in a long time.

"Besides that old man who suddenly appeared today, I also sensed the aura of a Limit Douluo, but I couldn't pinpoint his location directly, so I didn't dare to explode too violently," said Ice Emperor.

"That must be the teacher. She told me she'd temporarily change her aura because she might run into someone she knows," Qian Renxue said nonchalantly. "As for not exploding too hard, it doesn't matter. Once he recovers, he might be able to explode a few more times."

Moon hasn't arrived in Star Luo City yet; he's currently in the far north.

"Miss, I get the feeling you harbor a deep resentment towards Huo Yuhao," Shen Yuanyi asked tentatively.

She overheard Xue Di talking about Huo Yuhao in Shrek Academy when she was in seclusion with Xue Di, and how Qian Renxue disliked him, as did the two Ice and Snow Emperors.

That's why Shen Yuanyi and Xiao Hongchen casually said a few words to him when they passed through the corridor earlier.

"Oh, it's no big deal to tell you this." Qian Renxue told Shen Yuanyi about her first meeting with Xue Di in Xingluo City and their journey towards the Sun Moon Empire.

"You've been trying to persuade this guy for nothing," Shen Yuanyi said. "In the end, he even joined Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, which have a close relationship with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

Xue Di pressed her temples: "Let's not talk about this. Speaking of which, this city is where Xiao Xue and I first met."

Then she pointed in a direction: "Look over there, there's a slum. That's where I tried to communicate with Xiaoxue."

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Time flies, it's already been a year."

"Miss, you are truly remarkable. In just one year, you have gone from having almost nothing to where you are now. Your achievements are something that 99% of the people on this continent cannot accomplish."

"It's all because of you all." Qian Renxue relaxed her body. "And Teacher Long and the others. If I hadn't met you, I guess Xue Di and I would still be wandering around right now."

Xiao Xiao's family isn't described in much detail in the original work, but it should be a very powerful, reclusive family.

1. Xiao Xiao is a genius with twin martial souls, and her martial souls were [broken] or [shattered] once during the first Soul Battle Tournament - because there are two different versions in the original text - but they recovered [quickly].

According to the original text's explanation of the Martial Soul [Shattered], even a Title Douluo cannot save someone from it; at best, their soul power will be completely dissipated, and at worst, they will die. Therefore, [Shattered] was chosen here. After all, it allows him to explode multiple times later.

2. Later on, Xiao Xiao was even able to make her twin martial souls appear simultaneously for a short period of time, which was incredibly impressive. This was because Xiao Xiao didn't even have a single soul core at that time.
