The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 103 Qian Renxue

Xue Qinghe has a very wide network of connections. He is the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, a student of the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the young master of the Spirit Hall.

So after becoming sworn brothers with him, I no longer had to worry about anyone causing trouble while staying in Tiandou City.

Dugu Bo is an imperial guest minister and is unaware that Xue Qinghe is disguised as a man, so he probably wouldn't object to this.

Actually, what Xia Liang really wanted to befriend was Xue Qinghe's identity as Qian Renxue, because in the future, he could ask the titled Douluo of the Hall of Worship to help him obtain higher quality soul rings.

Just now in the dean's office, when Xue Qinghe asked if any martial soul resonance had occurred, Xia Liang intentionally steered the topic toward martial soul fusion skills, hoping to improve his relationship with Qian Renxue by working on the martial soul fusion skills.

However, it seems that Qian Renxue's identity is too sensitive, and Xue Qinghe has no intention of revealing it. Therefore, he did not agree to practice the martial soul fusion skill immediately, but instead suggested that they become sworn brothers.

Xia Liang wanted to establish a relationship with Qian Renxue not only to prepare for obtaining the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's spirit ring in the future, but also for his fifth spirit ring soon.

I currently have 48 levels of soul power, and I estimate that I will be able to break through the 50-level bottleneck in less than half a year.

After successfully absorbing the fourth spirit ring last time, Bone-transformed Susanoo has obtained a large amount of flesh and blood. Now, as long as the energy of the four spirit rings is fused together, Bone-transformed Susanoo can activate its half-human form.

If one cultivates towards the complete Susanoo form, then the fifth spirit ring will definitely allow the ossified Susanoo in its half-human form to wear armor formed from the power of some kind of spirit beast.

Xia Liang decided to obtain this power of soul beasts from the top-tier dark soul beast, Shadow Lord.

When he used his fourth soul skill to tamper with Xiao Wu's soul, he also copied Xiao Wu's soul memories into his own.

By searching her memories, it was discovered that Xiao Wu had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for so long without ever hearing of the existence of the Shadow Lord, indicating that this type of soul beast does not inhabit the Star Dou Great Forest.

According to Xiao Wu's memories of her soul beasts, some soul beast groups in the Star Dou Great Forest sometimes migrate to forests or valleys that are more conducive to their survival.

Shadow Lords are top-tier dark spirit beasts, so the forests or valleys that are more conducive to their survival must be related to darkness.

The Death Valley that appeared in the original work is a dark valley filled with dense darkness and death, which once gave birth to a Death Spider King with a cultivation of 100,000 years.

The fact that a 100,000-year-old soul beast has appeared indicates that the soul beast resources in Death Valley are quite abundant, and perhaps the Shadow Lord's clan lives here.

However, Death Valley, like Spirit City, is the territory of the Spirit Hall.

To enter Death Valley in search of soul beasts, one must obtain a warrant issued by a bishop of the Spirit Hall's main hall level or above.

In addition, Death Valley is guarded by many Spirit Hall Soul Masters, and outsiders who go in to search for Soul Beasts may be monitored at any time.

This is also why Xia Liang has never dared to enter Death Valley to search for soul beasts.

If I can establish a relationship with Qian Renxue, I can indirectly get her two Douluo, Snake Spear and Porcupine, to help me find the Shadow Lord in Death Valley.

Unfortunately, Qian Renxue was too composed. Even the possibility of revealing their fusion of martial soul techniques could not make her drop the disguise of Xue Qinghe.

Stepping out of the dean's building, Xia Liang cast aside all his worries and headed towards the cave simulation field. He was currently two levels away from the level 50 bottleneck.

After arriving at the cave simulation field, you can study the copy of the meridian theory given by Tang San. Combined with your ability to see through meridians and your previous understanding of the operation of the Xuan Tian Gong, you might be able to develop an advanced meditation method specifically for the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul.

Once I reach the level 50 bottleneck in my cultivation, I'll figure out a way to enter Death Valley.

late at night.

Tian Dou City, Imperial Palace.

The Crown Prince's Palace.

Inside the Crown Prince's room.

Hidden so deep that it couldn't be more secretive, there was a gleaming golden stone bed in a secret underground chamber.

This stone bed was forged using a large amount of top-grade Fiery Sun Iron and light-attribute forging materials.

No one knows exactly what light-attribute forging material was used, because the craftsman who forged this stone bed had long been murdered to silence him.

Besides the gleaming golden stone bed, the stone used to build the four walls of the secret chamber is also of the highest quality, possessing the ability to isolate all auras and even block spiritual detection.

The dark, secret chamber was illuminated by the light emanating from the gleaming golden stone bed, allowing one to see what lay within.

In a corner of a 20-square-meter enclosed room, there are some special plants for purifying the air, as well as a two-meter-high flat mirror.

At this moment, the door to the secret room was pushed open, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe walked in from outside.

After he closed the door to the secret room, the gaps around the door disappeared as if a wound had healed, and the entire secret room became airtight.

Xue Qinghe sat down beside the gleaming golden stone bed in the center of the secret chamber, letting out a weary sigh.

Immediately afterwards, his body was enveloped in a hazy golden light.

When the golden light faded, the person sitting on the golden stone bed was no longer a man, but a tall, well-proportioned blonde woman with long, white legs.

Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, this is Xue Qinghe's true identity.

Looking at the woman's face in the mirror in the corner, Qian Renxue sighed in despair. During her mission to infiltrate the Tiandou Imperial Palace, she could only be a woman for a short while when she took a bath or entered this secret room.

Only by entering this secret chamber can one begin a day's soul power cultivation.

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

Qian Renxue had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

During the day, he handles state affairs as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and when he has free time at night, he goes to a secret room to use this golden stone bed full of light attribute energy to assist in his cultivation.

At the end of the day, I can only rely on meditation to replace sleep.

Qian Renxue couldn't remember the last time she had truly slept.

She rubbed her shoulders, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, closed her eyes and focused her mind, quickly entering a meditative state.

Much later.

A pale golden aura burst forth from Qian Renxue's body, spreading outwards with a sacred light.

This is a sign of increased soul power.

Slowly opening her eyes, Qian Renxue activated the increasingly powerful soul force within her body, but she felt no joy as a result.

Having already possessed innate level 20 soul power at the age of six, she felt that her growth rate should be faster than any other soul master.

But now, at just over twenty years old, his soul power is only level fifty-eight.

When you really look at it, it's only slightly better than the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

After years of lying low, Qian Renxue gradually realized that the implementation of the infiltration plan had caused her to neglect her cultivation.

Unfortunately, after persisting for so many years, I can't just give up.

Just as Qian Renxue was regretting her decision, an old voice rang out in the secret room through some unknown means, "Young Master, we have found all the information about that Xia Liang. Eight years ago, he participated in the Martial Soul Awakening in Guowan Village. The Martial Soul Hall steward who helped him awaken his Martial Soul was named Su Yuntao."

"Pot and Bowl Village?" Qian Renxue suddenly realized, "No wonder he has such excellent cooking skills, so he comes from such a village. Uncle Xue, continue the report."

"Yes." A hoarse voice answered once more from the secret chamber.
