Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 446 Nothing much, just felt like an idiot.

"Uncle Long! Teacher says she misses you!"

Upon seeing Long Xiaoyao, Qian Renxue smiled and said...

"Xi Shui missed me?" Long Xiaoyao still looked as energetic as ever, seemingly younger thanks to the vitality he received at Hansong Cliff.

"Of course! The teacher said she misses your broad, strong shoulders and chest, and the faint smell of tobacco between your fingers!"

"You made this up yourself, didn't you? Xi Shui wouldn't say something like that." Long Xiaoyao smiled. "At most, she'd just say 'Be careful.'"

Qian Renxue looked embarrassed, then said solemnly, "I was just teasing you. My teacher really did send me a message."

Long Xiaoyao smiled and asked, "What did she say?"

Qian Renxue mimicked Ye Xishui's expression and said softly, "Long Xiaoyao, you big fool. You never imagined that what truly attracted us to each other were the two martial souls, the Phoenix of Light and the Holy Dragon of Darkness. In my life, there are eighteen sweetest moments, each with a different time and place, but they are all given a common name."

"Long Xiaoyao, please be careful."

"The tone is similar, but the content is different." Long Xiaoyao laughed. "Xi Shui would never tell me these things. Your acting talent is more suited to the battlefield, not to the realm of romance. These clumsy words sound like you read them in a book; you're just copying them instead of truly experiencing them."

"Just say the last sentence, okay?" Qian Renxue resigned herself to her fate, sat down in the chair, and said angrily.

"Yes, I believe the last sentence." Long Xiaoyao nodded with a smile, "She and I don't need a superficial understanding, before our lives burn out."

Qian Renxue increasingly felt that the power of a love-struck mind was truly remarkable. On a small scale, the desire to "freely date" allowed Ju Zi, the Crown Princess, to scheme against Xu Tianran; on a larger scale, it made Long Xiaoyao completely disregard Ye Xishui's past, even if she might be labeled as an accomplice to evil by the world.

Fortunately, she's not currently obsessed with romance.

Fortunately, most people with romantic fantasies these days are on her side.

"Ahem—" Qian Renxue coughed lightly, "Uncle Long, um, this is for you."

As she spoke, she took out the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and explained its effects. The Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid was with Ye Xishui, and the other two plants, Narcissus Jade Bone and Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, were not very suitable for Long Xiaoyao.

"It would be such a waste for an old guy like me to use this," Long Xiaoyao said with a smile. "Let's save it for the newcomers."

Qian Renxue stared at Long Xiaoyao and said, "Uncle Long, the important thing about this thing is no longer the efficacy of the immortal product itself, but the immortal spiritual energy."

Long Xiaoyao's expression immediately changed.

After Ye Xishui was chosen by the gods, he was actually a bit conflicted. Although he was the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, who was the big boss of the Holy Spirit Cult? It was Ye Xishui. Now that Ye Xishui was even stronger, he was becoming more and more like a... gigolo. If Ye Xishui became a god, he could certainly try to get a spot and go up with him.

However, Long Xiaoyao definitely still wants to rely on himself.

"Hiss—" Long Xiaoyao took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted! Back then, Mu En had thought of using the Dragon Pill to try to attract the attention of the God Realm, but ended up crippling himself.

If Long Xiaoyao can make good use of this immortal plant that is relatively suitable for him, he might actually gain the favor of the divine realm!

Based on the information he exchanged with Ye Xishui, he knew that there were some divine positions in the God Realm that might be very suitable for him! For example, the God of Darkness among the elemental gods, and if things were a little less suitable, there were also some divine positions among the second-level gods...

"Could you ask me one more time?" Long Xiaoyao asked expectantly.

"Tell me about what's been going on lately." Qian Renxue pretended not to hear and handed him the immortal herb directly.

Long Xiaoyao pulled up a chair and sat down next to her. After receiving the immortal item, he recounted everything that had happened to Qian Renxue over the past few days.

"You mean, during our fight, we even sensed god-level fluctuations emanating from that Sea God Douluo?" Qian Renxue's expression turned serious. "Are you able to pinpoint the source?"

"After Xi Shui became a chosen god, she also emitted god-level fluctuations. But she and the Sea God Douluo gave me a different feeling." Long Xiaoyao explained, "If Xi Shui's fluctuations emanated from within, then the Sea God Douluo's fluctuations seem to be relying on external objects." Qian Renxue frowned, then drew her Angel Holy Sword.

"Take a look at this." She handed the Angelic Holy Sword to Long Xiaoyao.

Long Xiaoyao was surprised: "I remember your fifth soul skill was a sword blade, is this another one?"

Qian Renxue nodded: "This is my divine artifact."

"Then there's no problem." Long Xiaoyao sensed the Angelic Holy Sword that Qian Renxue was activating. "That Sea God Douluo's god-level fluctuations should also come from a divine artifact, rather than from his own level."

"The Sea God Douluo also has a divine artifact... Have you noticed what form it takes?"

"His martial soul is very special; it's neither a weapon martial soul nor a beast martial soul." Long Xiaoyao's expression was solemn. "If I had to describe it, then his martial soul would be... a water element martial soul?"

Long Xiaoyao had also seen the footage of the Soul Master Competition in Xingluo City and knew that Ling Luochen of Shrek Academy had a special ice elemental martial soul.

"Perhaps it's the sea," Qian Renxue guessed.

"The ocean can become a person's martial spirit?" Long Xiaoyao found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Angels can also become martial souls. Ten thousand years ago, people were already debating whether angel martial souls were beast martial souls." Qian Renxue shook her head. "Martial souls are a very mysterious thing."

"The source of his divine-level aura should be his head," Long Xiaoyao nodded. "If it's a divine artifact, then it can only be his helmet."

"Helmet." Qian Renxue closed her eyes and began searching her memory.

After a while, she opened her eyes.

"What came to mind?"

"Thinking back to how foolish I used to be," Qian Renxue shook her head. "This Sea God Douluo is practically a lone commander now; his men have either been killed or captured. Do you know roughly how many titled commanders are left in Sea God Valley?"

"Including the Sea God Douluo, there are nine left." Long Xiaoyao nodded slightly. "However, one who deserves our attention is the Sea Ghost Douluo. This person is extremely ruthless. If it weren't for me and the Second Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult being here, he probably could have killed the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group. The rest are just ordinary titles."

Ning Shu is the second elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, possessing the Martial Soul Phantom Nine Bells and a level 97 Title Douluo in the Mental Control system.

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then revealed the information she had obtained from the Sea Princess that there might be a spatial rift beneath Cold Pine Cliff.

"Do you want to go deeper down and take a look?" Long Xiaoyao asked, frowning.

The Twelve Offerings (only Ye Xishui can command them):

Grand Offering: Long Xiaoyao 99

Second Offering: Phantom Nine Bells (Homegrown character + Guest Appearance, an ancestor of the Dark Bell from Douluo Continent III, not yet fully transformed into a Dark Martial Soul) 97

Three offerings: Nine-Heart Begonia 97

Fourth Offering: Dark Hummingbird 96

Five Offerings: Bone Dragon Douluo 96

Six Offerings: Scorpion Tiger Zhang Peng 96

Seven Offerings: Dark Clouds 94→95 Dark Raven

Eight Black Eagles (the one who, in the previous text, severed his own arm to blow up the Green Shadow Divine Eagle, creating an opportunity to take Ma Xiaotao away) 94

93

92

92

91

The top ten combatants in the Dark Clouds are Long Ye Zhong Feng, plus the offerings of 2-6, which is just right.

It is speculated that the level 2-5 offerings correspond to combat power of 96-97 respectively. If it were 98, there should have been a close-up in the original work.

Offerings of 8-12 correspond to combat strengths of 91-94 respectively.

As for why it didn't appear in the original text... it can only be said that after introducing the eight elders and twelve worshippers, they felt this setting was too outrageous and dared not use it recklessly, fearing they wouldn't be able to defeat them. It's also possible that after the Dragon Leaf of the Holy Spirit Cult sacrificed itself to the male and female protagonists, those who disobeyed Zhongli Wu's orders no longer cared about the fate of the Holy Spirit Cult.
