Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

However, for the person directly involved, this statement was devastating.

Xiaoqing stared blankly at Qian San, a warm current of the like flowing through her body, breaking through all her defenses and pretenses, and her eyes were slightly hot at this moment.

She knew Qian San's personality; this rational, composed, and even ruthless boy in battle never made empty promises. Once he uttered such words, it meant he would absolutely fulfill his promise, even if it meant his own destruction.

However, while Xiaoqing was moved, she secretly made a vow in her heart: "If that day really comes, even if I die, I will definitely die before you. I will never let you suffer even the slightest harm because of me."

Looking down at the tender scene of the siblings below, Qian Xunji, perched in the tree, finally couldn't hold back any longer. Afraid that he would be suffocated by the cloying sweetness of their romance if he listened any longer, he cleared his throat and deliberately made a little noise.

"Ahem... The sunset is beautiful, but the wind is a bit strong, giving me goosebumps."

With a teasing remark, Qian Xunji's figure floated down like a falling leaf, dragging a dying whale in her hand, and landed steadily behind the two.

Qian San and Xiao Qing separated as if they had been electrocuted. A rare, suspicious blush appeared on Qian San's face. He quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Father, you're back!"

Xiaoqing also stood up. Although her expression had returned to normal, her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed. She lowered her head and called out, "Uncle Qian."

"Alright, stop being so reserved." Qian Xunji forcibly suppressed the urge to complain and strode up to Qian San. "Before you left, I gave you some immortal herbs. What did you take?"

"Father, I consumed a Nine-Turn Vajra Vine to broaden my meridians and strengthen my physical bones, and a Winter-Piercing Dew to enhance my spiritual power. You instructed me that my ten-thousand-year soul ring would cause a spiritual shock." Qian San quickly reported his choices.

"That would be suitable. What about Xiaoqing?" Qianxunji asked.

Qian San's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange. He secretly glanced at Xiao Qing, then stammered, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated:

"Um... Sister Qing... successfully picked a fairy herb called Xiang Nian Duan Xin Qing, but she didn't consume it. Later, she consumed a Dragon Blood Glazed Fruit, which not only brought her to level 40, but also successfully evolved her martial soul into the Azure War Dragon."

"The Heartbreak Green of Longing?" It seems to be a rebellion of the Heartbreak Red. The fact that they managed to pluck this thing makes their intentions crystal clear. But is it just the Azure War Dragon? He remembers that in the original story, Da Ming eventually became the Azure Divine Dragon. If he goes to that world, he'll definitely chop Da Ming up first and bring him back to Xiao Qing to see if it can improve her bloodline.

"Oh? The King of Immortal Herbs, the Heart-Severing Green?" Qian Xunji deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two, his tone full of undisguised teasing.

"Since you've already picked them, why not eat them? What, is it because the flower's name contains the character 'green' that you're reluctant to eat them?"

"No...nothing like that!" Xiaoqing hurriedly raised her head to explain, but after meeting Qian Xunji's insightful and mocking gaze, she deflated like a punctured balloon, burying her head again, her neck turning bright red.

"I just felt... the story the mistress told about this flower was so touching, and the flower is so beautiful... so, I just couldn't bear to eat it..."

The more she explained, the softer her voice became, until finally, her faint voice was almost completely blown away by the breeze.

"Haha, alright, alright, Little San, hurry up and absorb the spirit ring." Qian Xunji saw through it but didn't say anything.

"The Canghai Swallowing Cloud Whale has a cultivation of thirteen thousand years," Qian Xunji introduced.

"This kind of soul beast itself is not particularly powerful and is gentle by nature, but it has an exaggerated internal cavity capacity and soul power reserves. The reason I chose this for you is because all your soul skills require a huge amount of soul power as support. The soul ring skills of this soul beast can definitely greatly expand the upper limit of your soul power reserves."

A glint flashed in Qian San's eyes. His father was absolutely right. As he controlled more and more metals, the procedures became more and more complicated and the size of the metals increased. The requirements for his soul power and mental strength also became higher and higher. Now his mental strength had increased dramatically because of that skull, but his soul power was his weakness. This soul ring was exactly what he needed.

Without any hesitation, Qian San sat down cross-legged, killed the Canghai Tunyun Whale with a single strike, and began to draw upon the black ten-thousand-year soul ring. With his powerful body reshaped by the Nine Revolutions Vajra Vine and the suppression of the 190,000-year-old head soul bone, the soul vibration of the ten-thousand-year soul ring posed no threat to Qian San.

After a long and protracted tug-of-war.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black! Four eye-catching spirit rings slowly rose beneath Qian San's feet.

"Level 46!" Qian San suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the surge of soul power reserves within his body, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Good lad, a level 46 Soul Master at not even twelve years old." Qian Xunji stepped forward with a smile.

Qian San nodded, his right hand clenching loosely. This time, he didn't try to control the ordinary iron outside, but instead used the surge in soul power reserves to bring his first soul skill, liquid metal, to its fullest potential!

Large amounts of blue-silver liquid metal surged wildly from the pores all over his body. In the blink of an eye, the metal seemed to come alive, rapidly climbing and solidifying along the contours of his body.

A series of rapid metallic clicks were heard, and a sleek full-body suit of armor, shimmering with blue-silver metallic luster, was perfectly fitted onto Qian San's body!

"This...this is?" Xiaoqing was stunned.

"Father, look!" Qian San's voice came through the metal mask, filled with uncontrollable excitement. With a thought, the armor on his arm instantly liquefied, turning into a sharp arm blade; with another movement, the armor on his leg turned into several complex soul power thrusters.

"This spirit ring's passive ability can triple my total spirit power! More importantly, it gives me the ability to splurge on my first spirit skill!" Qian San exclaimed excitedly.

"I can now use my vast soul power to form full-body or partial armor from this blue-silver liquid metal on my body at any time. In battle, I can freely change the form of the armor—whether it's a shield, a sword, or a projectile launcher—it's all up to me!"

Qian San raised his hand as he spoke: "Moreover, I can also enhance the armor for others."

A stream of liquid metal flowed from his palm, quickly spreading to Xiaoqing beside him, and in the blink of an eye, it covered her body with a perfectly fitting suit of metal armor. Xiaoqing lowered her head, curiously touching the cold metal shell on her arm.

"Not bad. What about your active skills?"

"It's a large-scale area-of-effect attack called [Ocean Devouring Whale]. It uses soul power to condense a phantom of a giant whale and crushes forward. Although the attack method is very simple, it just makes up for my lack of clearing ability. Combined with its passive ability to increase the total amount of soul power, this ten-thousand-year soul ring is very suitable for me."
