Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

Looking at Dugu Bo, who was meditating beside him,

Chen Jieqi gently stroked the Naru Heart between his brows with his fingertips, his eyes filled with certainty.

"Suppressing levels and stuff like that is the most boring thing ever."

"Only by increasing one's own soul power can one further enhance one's foundation, soul power volume, and other aspects."

After all, an extra spirit ring means an extra skill, an extra variable, and an extra layer of self-protection.

At the same time, Chen Jieqi mentally reviewed his advantages:

"His talent should be considered to be in a class of its own. Compared to Qian Renxue's innate level 20 soul power, it should be no worse."

He even had an advantage, since he was probably close to level 20 even if he wasn't, and his second ring was definitely at least a thousand years old. This meant that if he got an early start, he would get an early finish.

"Dugu Yan is 7 years older than Tang San and 7 years older than me, so we are the same age."

Chen Jieqi counted on his fingers, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his face.

"Taking this first step means taking the lead in every step!"

Moreover, Tang San's greatest opportunity to obtain a magical herb is now in my hands.

"Without the immortal herb of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I'd like to see how he'll defy fate."

"As for Tang Hao, who likes to bully the weak?"

Once Dugu Bo condenses the 'Poison Sac' soul core, he can fight to a standstill even in a direct confrontation.

Moreover, they still have the trump card, the "Snowy Swan Kiss," a nuclear weapon.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Chen Jieqi's eyes.

As for Tang San, as long as he defeats the Blue Silver King beforehand, or re-cultivates the Blue Silver Emperor, he can succeed.

If Tang San's Blue Silver Grass cannot be fully awakened, it's basically useless. Even if he successfully adds all the spirit rings over ten thousand years to the Clear Sky Hammer later, it won't be a threat.

After all, without the Blue Silver Emperor's domain, without control and sustain, the burst damage from the Clear Sky Hammer alone cannot withstand the drain on my Naaru Heart.

Actually, when Chen Jieqi read the original novel, he never quite understood why the Clear Sky Hammer wasn't as powerful as he had imagined.

I scoff at the claim that Qian Daoliu lost to Tang Chen; fundamentally, it's because he's too pedantic.

Qian Daoliu's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is inherently highly mobile, and with the added purification effect of the Holy attribute,

Against a high-burst martial soul like the Clear Sky Hammer, the best approach is to wage a war of attrition.

Why not use their own advantages instead of going head-to-head with Tang Chen, who has already blown up the ring?

Moreover, even if Tang Chen's attack power is slightly higher after the ring is detonated, what's the use if he can't hit Qian Daoliu?

Once the duration of this explosive ring expires, won't we be at their mercy?

Even if you, Qian Daoliu, were to fight head-on, you could use the power of the angels, making it impossible for you to lose.

Even before Tang Chen underwent the divine test, his spirit rings should have been a configuration of two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

But Qian Daoliu has eight black players and one red player!!!

Both being level 99 Title Douluos, their soul power and physical strength were roughly the same, but the Thousand Flows Soul Skill's multiplier completely overwhelmed them.

How could Qian Daoliu possibly lose?

Ultimately, it was because he was too stubborn and didn't use his own martial soul advantage, insisting on going head-to-head with Tang Chen, who had just exploded his rings.

Otherwise, why would Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen be completely defeated by Poseidon? Putting aside the possibility that the two were "simps," it was more likely that Poseidon used the advantages of her own martial soul.

Chen Jieqi sighed and continued his deduction.

Of the three, Tang Chen has cultivated to level 99, so his talent is undoubtedly the best, but in terms of combat strength, he is probably the weakest.

Ultimately, the difference between Poseidon and Sendouliu lies in where the battlefield is. In the sea, Poseidon has the upper hand over Sendouliu.

In the heavens, the Thousand Streams can still gain the upper hand.

As far as Tang Chen is concerned, no matter how good his talent is, his soul ring configuration and martial soul advantage are inferior. If it really comes down to a fight, he is the weakest of the three.

Another one is Tang Hao. During the chase, he recovered to full health after Ah Yin's sacrifice, but at most he was only level 92 or 93.

On the other side was Qian Xunji, a level 95 warrior, plus two Yue Guan and Gui Mei, both level 93-94 warriors. They also had a control-type martial soul fusion skill. It seemed like a certain death situation.

Who could have imagined...?

The only explanation, or at least a loose one, is that Tang Hao had a "god" behind him, and judging from the judgment, it is most likely that it is the old man, the Asura God.

Following the original plot, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next time it will be Tang San taking a hammer to smash Qian Renxue.

Three generations of people have been hammering each other; this is simply outrageous!

However, the roles have now reversed...

Speaking of the old man, the God of Asura, Chen Jieqi felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He and Tang San had traveled across centuries to reach Douluo Continent together; was there some kind of conspiracy involved?

Thinking back to the original work,

"Asura God, Sea God, Angel God, Rakshasa God..."

All the divine tests were deliberately tilted.

Tang San had a smooth journey, while Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong faced numerous difficulties.

Especially Qian Renxue's divine test, which was given to her by her own ancestor.

To say there wasn't something fishy going on...

Chen Jieqi shook his head vigorously.

"Thinking about these things now is too far ahead; for now, our priority is to improve our strength."

......

Chen Jieqi returned to Dugu Bo's side and, observing the steadily functioning poison pill, judged that it would still take several months for it to fully condense.

The most important thing right now is to improve himself. He took out the crystal ball for testing soul power from his soul tool and pressed his palm on it.

"Level 18!"

Chen Jieqi couldn't help but be surprised, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"I thought this kind of immortal herb that strengthens martial spirits would only increase the level by one or two at most, but I didn't expect it to increase it by 5 levels directly!"

Chen Jieqi recalled Tang San's experiences in the original novel:

"Back then, he consumed the Eight-Starred Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delight, not specifically to increase his soul power."

It still went from level 31 to level 37, a full 6 levels higher.

He was already a Soul Master back then, while I was only a level 13 Soul Master. Gaining 5 levels didn't seem like much...

"As for the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom?"

It's completely unnecessary for him.

Chen Jieqi murmured to himself, feeling the surging, holy power of light within his martial spirit.

"Its own divine and luminous attributes are already at their peak, and even its fire attribute has been purified into an ultimate radiant flame."

Ordinary martial spirit flames pose no threat to me, and I can suppress other attributes with my ultimate attributes.

If one were to consume the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, it might impure one's martial soul attributes, which would be a net loss.

Chen Jieqi looked up into the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, pondering:

"I'm level 18 now. If I play steadily for another six months, I'll definitely reach level 20."

When I get the second ring of the millennium, so what if Qian Renxue is at level 20 innate?

In terms of the age of his spirit rings and the level of his spirit power, which one of them is not better than hers?

This is truly in a class of its own!

Looking at the soul power testing crystal in Chen Jieqi's hand, Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with deep shock.

Although Chen Jieqi had described the miraculous herb's effects, she hadn't expected it to directly propel her to level 18.

He's not far from reaching the level 20 threshold for becoming a Great Soul Master; this improvement is truly astonishing.

He then gently patted Chen Jieqi's head, the gesture carrying a hint of intimacy and approval, the shock in his eyes long since transformed into genuine joy:

"Congratulations, little Qi. First, consolidate your increased soul power, and then we'll have a meal together."

"Okay, Sister Yan Yan."

Chen Jieqi obediently replied, the names of the two men flashing through his mind.

"Qian Renxue, Tang San... your paths may have already been paved by the gods and fate."

But I, Chen Jieqi, will walk my own path!
