Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

Deep within the sunset forest, miasma lingered, and towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, making it difficult for even sunlight to penetrate the layers of leaves.

Only the Yin-Yang Eye at the core forms its own world, isolated from the noise and disturbances of the outside world.

As the saying goes, time flies in the mountains, and one loses track of the years as the cold winter ends; Chen Jieqi has been cultivating in seclusion here ever since.

He has put the "way of survival" to its fullest potential, and it has been a full five years since he last hunted the Bright Bird.

......

Thanks to focused cultivation and prayer meditation, Chen Jieqi's soul power cultivation progressed rapidly.

Within two years of acquiring the soul ring, he steadily cultivated to level 30.

This time, Chen Jieqi did not choose to go out to hunt souls, but instead asked Dugu Bo to bring back a Holy Radiance Pegasus that was nearly 5000 years old.

Under the protection of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Chen Jieqi successfully absorbed the spirit ring, and his spirit power jumped directly to level 33.

At that time, he was only eight and a half years old.

"Truly the number one Soul Master on the continent."

Even Qian Renxue, the little angel of the Spirit Hall, probably couldn't have done this.

Chen Jieqi looked at his own growing figure and secretly admired it.

On the other side, Dugu Yan's cultivation speed was equally impressive.

At the age of 16, she broke through to level 40. To be on the safe side, she was not allowed to choose a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Instead, it absorbed a nearly 8000-year-old white-armored earth dragon, and its soul power finally settled at level 42.

This talent and achievement made her famous at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, making her the most dazzling new star in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

After Dugu Bo condensed his soul core and solved the stubborn problem of backlash from his martial soul, not only did his appearance become more handsome and dignified, but his soul power also increased dramatically, completely shedding the title of "weakest Title Douluo".

With him stationed in Tiandou City for a long time, and with this titled Douluo protecting her, no one dared to make a move against Dugu Yan.

Six months ago,

At just over 11 years old, Chen Jieqi, through relentless effort, finally broke through that bottleneck.

His soul power surged rapidly, steadily reaching level 40.

Perhaps due to his transmigration and rebirth, Chen Jieqi possessed extraordinary innate soul power, and his spiritual strength was inherently refined and formidable.

Three years ago, he absorbed the "Dew of Longing for Autumn Waters," further elevating his spiritual foundation.

This confidence finally made Chen Jieqi, who had originally been trying to survive, decide to make a nearly 12000-year-old giant elephant his fourth soul ring.

Although Chen Jieqi's process of absorbing the Light Giant Elephant Soul Ring was somewhat tortuous, he ultimately landed safely, and his soul power soared to over level 42.

It's a pity that the giant elephant of light didn't drop a soul bone.

Half a year has quietly passed. Under the nourishment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Chen Jieqi's soul power has become increasingly powerful and refined.

At 11 and a half years old, his soul power was already incredibly close to level 44, and the holy light flowing around him carried a heavy sense of power, as if he could step into the next level at any moment.

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, who was far away at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, had a soul power level of 46 at the age of 18 and a half, making her the undisputed leader in the academy.

At this rate, she will be able to advance to Soul King in another two to three years.

......

Looking out into the distance, his gaze piercing through the thick green mist, Chen Jieqi whispered:

"It's been five years."

There stood a boy, no more than eleven and a half years old, tall and slender, dressed in white, his clothes immaculately immaculate by the spiritual energy of the Yin-Yang Well.

Standing quietly beside me, it is like a solitary, cold jade, surrounded by a peaceful aura.

Her long hair was an unusual silver-white, as if it had been constantly bathed in holy light, and was a cold white that blended with moonlight and icy spring water.

The soft fabric draped gracefully over her shoulders, fluttering gently in the breeze, making her skin appear even more translucent, fair, and radiant.

His face was cool and aloof, with clean and sharp features. He lacked the roundness of a child and possessed a calmness and serenity beyond his years.

His features were clear and bright, his eyebrows a light silver-gray, devoid of any fierceness. His eyes were a very pale gold, like cold stars formed from the holy light of the Naaru.

What's most striking is the center of his brow—

A pale gold, half-inch-sized Heart of Naaru brand was quietly embedded there.

Shaped like a suspended sacred core of light, its patterns are simple and solemn, usually appearing only faintly, flowing with an imperceptible holy light.

The moment a thought arises, a soft golden light shines between the eyebrows, carrying an inviolable sacred pressure.

His nose was straight, his lips were pale, and when he pursed them, the lines were sharp and clean.

A smile often graces her lips, exuding a pure and approachable charm that makes people want to get close to her.

His aura was dignified, pure, and holy, like a young saint standing at the intersection of ice and fire and holy light.

Silver hair, white skin, golden eyes, holy mark.

He possesses both ice and fire within his body, and carries holy light in his heart. He remains silent, yet a single glance is enough to put people at ease and prevent them from harboring any evil thoughts.

This is our protagonist, Chen Jieqi.

Having been in Douluo Continent for so many years, from being a baby to now, I finally have some ability to protect myself.

Gazing towards the distant, mist-shrouded Heavenly Dou City, a faint golden light flickered in Chen Jieqi's eyes, and a resounding voice echoed in his heart.

"In the original story, Tang San was able to ascend to godhood and dominate the world. Why can't I, Chen Jieqi, do the same?"

He stood up and stretched his fingers, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"He had already acquired the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of Tang San's greatest 'cheat codes,' and also possessed development opportunities unknown to others."

The next step is simply to destroy Tang San's yet-to-awaken Blue Silver Emperor inheritance, and then capture that mischievous rabbit.

The so-called "chosen one" was nothing more than a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master with slightly better talent.

As for the Blue Silver Grass, which he had previously damaged beyond recognition, it was nothing to fear.

Although Chen Jieqi has no current grudge against Tang San, he is well aware of Tang San's growth trajectory in the original story. If he is not stopped, Tang San will surely become a major threat in the future.

Moreover, in the cultivation of Soul Masters, the strong have always prevailed. Besides, that rabbit had been transformed for 100,000 years, so there was no reason to let it go.

The key to this is Tang Hao, who treats rabbits as his own private property. Not only is he incredibly strong, but he also lacks any sense of martial ethics.

According to his memories from his previous life, Tang Hao should still be around level 93-94 at this time, and should not exceed level 95.

Although Tang Hao may not be able to exert his full strength due to old injuries, he is still able to "cheat" his way through, not only taking others down with him, but also being a first-rate escape artist.

With Dugu Bo's fighting style, he might be able to suppress Tang Hao, but it would be almost impossible for him to keep a Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master of this level!

Although Dugu Bo's cultivation speed has completely returned to normal in the past few years after condensing the 'Poison Sac Soul Core', and with the subsequent consumption of the 'Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid', his cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds.

His soul power has now reached the peak of level 94, and that barrier is as thin as a cicada's wing. He can step into level 95 at any time and become a true Super Douluo.

However, Dugu Bo's fighting style still leans towards group battles and control; with his 'Soul Core,' he can also engage in prolonged battles of attrition.

It can hold its own against opponents of the same level, its only weakness being a lack of explosive power.

This means that while he might be able to suppress or maneuver against a "mad dog" like Tang Hao, he would never be able to capture him.

Thinking of this, Chen Jieqi frowned slightly.

A flicker of confusion crossed his face, but it quickly faded, and he muttered under his breath:

Since we can't keep them, there's no need to rush.

As for Tang Dachui, let him continue to wallow in this "useless" state for another two years.

Two years is enough time for me to grow to a new level. If all else fails, I can always find someone to cooperate with and work together to solve the problem. There's always a way.

......

Chen Jieqi's decision to emerge from seclusion now is precisely in response to Dugu Yan's earlier request.

Join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to prepare for the Soul Master Competition a few years later.

Standing at the exit of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, with the wind gently tossing his long, silvery-white hair, Chen Jieqi remained calm and undisturbed.

In his view, winning the Soul Master Competition was a piece of cake for him, a sure thing.

Becoming famous throughout the world, becoming the focus of everyone's attention, and even receiving land and titles are only one aspect of the desire.

More importantly, there's his hidden scheme—the Heart of the Naaru grants him the ability to control the Holy Light, and the power of the Holy Light can be enhanced through faith.

Chen Jieqi needs to establish and spread his faith; only by gaining fame can his actions generate a "star effect."

This is the only way to quickly gather enough faith power. The more abundant and pure the faith, the stronger the holy light will be, and it may even be able to advance!

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it will be a long and arduous project. He needs to calm down and plan and guide step by step.
