Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 300 Tongue-Twisting Names (3k)

This was a promise between Qian Renxue and Ye Xishui, and she had not forgotten it.

Ye Xishui, hidden in the space, smiled faintly. She had once told Qian Renxue that she hoped she could help her win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

At her age, winning or losing these kinds of competitions is no longer important. However, she also knows that although Qian Renxue once stubbornly said she wasn't interested in these kinds of competitions, when she actually won the championship, it would be a huge step forward for Qian Renxue and the Spirit Hall in their return to the mainland.

Qian Renxue's gaze at Ye Xishui's location lasted only a second before it ended; she couldn't look at any one place for too long.

The real test is just beginning. They are currently deep in the eastern part of the continent. Winning the championship is not difficult; the challenge lies in how to evacuate.

Qian Renxue stood on the competition stage, receiving cheers from almost everyone, but she also knew that the real test had just begun. While you stand on the stage watching the audience, there are also people watching you from the shadows.

Huang Jinxu, acting as the referee, took a deep breath: "As the chief referee of this competition, I hereby announce that the champion is—Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei looked rather grim, but since it was already a fait accompli, they couldn't interfere too much with the outcome.

Qian Renxue stood on the competition stage, with Xue Di and Shen Yuanyi beside her. Suddenly, Xue Di spoke up: "Don't you think this feels like fate?"

Qian Renxue and Shen Yuanyi were taken aback, then remembered that when the three of them first met, at the border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, it seemed to be very similar to the present.

At that time, their opponents were an inspection team from Shrek Academy. In the end, Qian Renxue also threw out the Green Ghost's longsword. However, last time it killed a lackey, but this time it cut open the Shrek Academy's plaque.

What will be cut open next?

The other members of the Sun and Moon team also went up on stage. Old Ma came to Qian Renxue's side and whispered something. Qian Renxue nodded silently.

"Now, please invite the representative of the Sun and Moon team to come up to the stage to receive the competition rewards," Dai Hao said in a deep voice from the podium.

Everyone was slightly taken aback. They remembered that the rewards for the competition were not to be distributed in public, because the reward was three soul bones, which was obviously a hot potato.

To be precise, it was after the Spirit Hall's last major competition ten thousand years ago that the rewards for each competition were distributed in secret.

Old Ma's gaze darkened as he looked at Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue, however, seemed unconcerned and nodded in response.

"Be careful," Old Ma said in a deep voice.

Qian Renxue strode up to the platform, saw the three soul bones placed on the tray, glanced at them, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

According to their previous intelligence, these three reward soul bones should all be at least ten thousand years old, and all at least thirty thousand years old. However, the three soul bones on the tray at this moment are not only at the thousand-year level, but they can't even be considered complete.

Similar to the soul bone in the Tyrant Tiger Soul Refining Blade, these three soul bones are all incomplete and somewhat damaged.

They consist of two leg bones that are only the lower leg bones and a left arm bone that is only the upper arm bone.

"Take it, you deserve it," Dai Hao said with a smile.

Qian Renxue's face still held a smile: "Then thank you very much, Star Luo Empire. We will definitely continue to improve the technology of fusing broken soul bones into soul tools. One day in the future, these three things should be able to exert even greater power."

After speaking, she performed a standard knightly salute, a gesture reserved for the Spirit Hall, placing her right fist on her left chest. She then stored the spirit bone in her soul tool, turned around, gave the audience a similar salute, and gracefully walked off the stage.

Dai Hao's face twitched. She naturally understood what Qian Renxue meant; she was clearly complaining that what they had given her was too rubbish.

However, this was also Xu Jiawei's idea. Because they saw the variables in this competition, they prepared two rewards in advance. If Shrek Academy successfully won the championship, they would give out a real ten-thousand-year soul bone as a prize.

The other students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also discovered this, but they couldn't say anything, since the Star Luo Empire's initial statement was that there would be three soul bones, but they didn't specify the exact type or age.

Everyone wore grim faces, and the unsuspecting audience, after hearing Qian Renxue's words, understood the hidden agenda. However, there was still no evidence to prove they had switched the rewards. But one thing was certain: the rewards for this competition were definitely the worst they had ever received.

Hearing the commotion from the crowd, Xu Jiawei remained unmoved, because in his opinion, this was not a big problem. He couldn't possibly hand over the soul bones he was preparing to offer as a tribute to someone else, could he?

"Alright, now that the rewards have been distributed..." Dai Hao and Xu Jiawei exchanged a glance, then pointed at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, "The Star Luo Imperial Court Guards and the Star Luo Royal Guard, take them down!!"

"Whoosh—!"

Immediately, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Before the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had even left, several powerful auras suddenly erupted around Star Luo Square. Then, countless elite guards rushed into Star Luo Square, completely surrounding the area. Seeing this, Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow: "How impatient are they? The audience hasn't even left yet, and they've already surrounded us so hastily?"

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and the others were puzzled, but upon seeing this scene, all the members of the Sun and Moon Team instantly released their soul-guided weapons and aimed them at the surroundings.

Elder Ma stepped forward: "May I ask, what does the Star Luo Empire mean by this? Do you intend to disregard the rules of the competition and attack the participating academies?!"

Xu Jiawei is a level 94 Title Douluo, while Dai Hao is half a level lower. Including the Star Luo Empire's retainers who appeared around them, there are now six Title Douluos from Star Luo present this time. The other five are Xuanji, Giant Hammer, Shattered Star, Heavenly Fiend, and Giant Strength Douluo.

The Heavenly Fiend Douluo was none other than the chief referee, Huang Jinxu. Although he admired Qian Renxue at this moment, he had no choice but to obey orders.

Among them, Shattered Star Douluo is a Super Douluo who has reached level 95, while the rest are ordinary title holders.

"No, no, no, the Soul Master Competition ended right after the awards ceremony, so this isn't considered part of the competition period." Xu Jiawei strode over, "Hand over the two girls in your team whose names both end in 'Snow,' and I'll let the rest of you leave. Otherwise... none of the Sun Moon Empire people in this square will be leaving."

"What?!" Not only were the members of the Sun and Moon team stunned, but the other spectators were also shocked.

"Shameless Star Luo Empire, do you really think our Sun Moon Empire is easy to bully?!" A smiling voice appeared in the sky above the Star Luo Empire, but no one could tell where the voice came from.

"Who, who's playing tricks there?!" Shattered Star Douluo shouted. His martial soul was Shattered Star Light, which possessed the power to destroy space. He was one of the most powerful Title Douluos in the Star Luo Empire and currently the strongest retainer in Star Luo City.

He unleashed his soul skill, striking the void. The space shifted slightly, and an old man and a figure that didn't look that old appeared.

"You are..." Shattered Star Douluo's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Hehe, I am Kong Deming," the old man said with a smile, "Silver Moon Douluo."

"My name is Ye Yulin," another figure said casually, "Starry Sky Douluo."

"Sun Moon Empire, you really did send people," Dai Hao said in a deep voice. "Invading the Star Luo Empire at will, are you trying to start a war?"

"What are you saying, Your Grace?" Kong Deming said with a smile. "Didn't Shrek Academy also send a Title Douluo to accompany them? If that's the case, Shrek Academy's address is within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Does that mean the Heavenly Soul Empire also invaded your Star Luo?"

Xuanzi suddenly stood up and went to the Star Luo Empire's camp: "Don't make false accusations. Shrek Academy has always been on good terms with the Star Luo royal family. How can there be any talk of invasion? Moreover, Shrek Academy has never taken sides."

"Oh right, of course you don't need to take sides, after all, the eastern part of the continent is almost your personal fiefdom." At this moment, Qian Renxue also arrived in the air through the soul guidance flying device. Facing the aura of the surrounding Title Douluo, she remained calm and composed.

Ye Yulin glanced at the magical Sun Goddess in surprise, then sent her a stream of pure soul power and tossed her a baby bottle.

Xuanzi was about to blush when he heard this, but he knew he couldn't embarrass himself, so he spoke a lot of profound truths in a righteous manner.

Qian Renxue was getting annoyed by it.

Seeing this, Kong Deming also tapped his finger lightly. Suddenly, a soul-guided array appeared in the sky above Xingluo Square, and a huge shield appeared. This was his incomplete natal soul-guided device, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, which possessed spatial power.

This instantly created a sense of awe. The people of the Star Luo Empire couldn't understand what this thing was used for, but they could feel the fluctuations it emitted.

Xu Jiawei paused for a moment, then looked at Qian Renxue: "Sun Goddess, young master of the Sun Temple, possessing ultimate power of light and fire, who exactly are you?"

"Me? I'm just a four-ring Soul Master on the Douluo Continent who dares to speak the truth and help the world see this continent better."

Qian Renxue tilted her head. She displayed extreme light and fire during the competition, and her super-limited spirit rings and even her domain skills were recognized by Xuanzi. In addition, she used the Holy Fusion Technique of the Angel Family at the last moment. Furthermore, Xu Jiawei's Star Crown Family was once a force belonging to the Spirit Hall. So it is not surprising that the other party could guess it.

However, she had also decided that since hiding her identity was too difficult, she might as well not do it at all, since she would be exposed eventually anyway.

"A mere fourth-ring Soul Master?" Xu Jiawei said, hands behind his back. "The Sun Goddess is joking. Do I need to describe everything you did in the far north, and all your past deeds?"

Finally, in mid-air, Xu Jiawei's eyes flashed with a wise light, as if he had seen through all the secrets of the world.

"Or do you need me to say that... tongue-twisting name?"
