Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 246 Qian Renxue's Confession

P.S. My health code turned yellow when I went out today. I'll see if I can write another chapter when I get back~ I admit this chapter has a bit of a clickbait title, but it was bound to happen sooner or later~

"Xiao Feng, put me down!"

After Han Feng and Qian Renxue had completely left Tian Dou City, Qian Renxue spoke softly.

Han Feng turned around and glanced back. He could no longer see the shadow of Tian Dou City. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. After sending Qian Renxue away with his last bit of soul power, he closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground without any regard for his image. His body twitched involuntarily from time to time, looking completely drained.

This is not an exaggeration. For seven or eight consecutive days, Han Feng has been constantly pushing himself to the limit. His soul power and blood energy have been depleted countless times. He has only managed to get to where he is now by eating pills. His body and spirit have long since reached their limits!

Ning Rongrong gave him two whole bottles of pills, and now only four are left!

Now that he has suddenly relaxed, all the accumulated fatigue has rushed over him. The fact that Han Feng is still awake is already a testament to his strong will!

But this wasn't without its benefits. At least after the successive bursts, Han Feng's soul power, which had initially felt somewhat sluggish due to the sudden surge, was now being used with ease and fluency. He even broke through the level 50 blood and qi barrier, greatly accelerating his progress!

Han Feng had a premonition that the Qi and Blood Power that originally required two months of arduous cultivation to break through would perhaps only require one seclusion to break through after he recovered!

Qian Renxue originally had something to say, but seeing Han Feng's condition, she couldn't care less about anything else. She quickly helped Han Feng up and used her soft, boneless hands to help him dispel the stagnant blood and qi in his body. A wonderful power flowed through Han Feng's mind like a clear spring, and Han Feng felt his mind clear up instantly, and most of his fatigue disappeared!

"Thank you, Sister Qianqian!" The cool and comfortable feeling made Han Feng unconsciously smile and murmur with a smile.

But when Han Feng called out "Sister Qianqian," Qian Renxue still trembled involuntarily and stammered, "Xiao Feng, I..."

If we were to name the person Qian Renxue least wants to know her true identity from, it would be Han Feng!

The person Qian Renxue cares about most is Han Feng, and that's why she doesn't want Han Feng to know her true identity. The Spirit Hall has too many grudges and feuds, and Qian Renxue doesn't want to put Han Feng in a difficult position because of it.

Just like when Han Feng faced Tang San, Qian Renxue could clearly feel the struggle in Han Feng's heart. He didn't want Tang San to hurt him, but he also didn't want to hurt Tang San. That's why Han Feng didn't reveal his identity to Tang San, and that's why Han Feng only knocked Tang San unconscious.

Take the Star Luo Empire for example. The Spirit Hall's ultimate goal is to unify the continent. In this process, as one of only two empires on the continent, the Star Luo Empire is definitely an object that the Spirit Hall must eliminate. However, Qian Renxue knows that the future ruler of the Star Luo Empire is very likely to be Han Feng's best brother!

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School... For example, Shrek Academy...

Han Feng's smile gradually faded, but he quickly chuckled again and said reassuringly, "Alright, Sister Qianqian! You don't need to say anything, I know! I rushed back from the far north not because you're the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, but simply because you're my sister, it's that simple!"

Han Feng's words were like a warm current flowing through Qian Renxue's heart. Qian Renxue felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.

To be honest, when Han Feng was reading the original novel, he had a question on his mind: who exactly is the hateful villain in the whole story?

Actually, after thinking it over, the grudge between Tang San and the Spirit Hall lies in the sacrifice of his mother and Xiao Wu. But after stepping out of the grievances I felt while reading the book, and looking back, isn't it only natural for a Soul Master to hunt for Souls?

The grudges between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts have been going on for so long that it's impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, even if we abandon the identity of human Soul Masters. Who knows what Soul Beasts are thinking when they rebuild their cultivation? What if some Soul Beast that is extremely hostile to humans rebuilds its cultivation and then wreaks havoc on the world after it becomes a great master? Wouldn't that be a sin?

As for Bibi Dong, the main villain in the original work, she was at most a pitiful madwoman. If her life had taken any slight wrong turn, she probably wouldn't have gone crazy in the end!

All that's left are conflicts of interest and emotional entanglements. In Han Feng's view, these issues are neither right nor wrong, but simply a matter of differing perspectives.

If we're really going to talk about who's wrong, Han Feng thinks that Qian Xunji is the only one who doesn't need to be whitewashed at all!

How could anyone come up with a way to keep a woman alive?!

And it's his own apprentice!?

The reason given was actually to keep Bibi Dong!?

It's fair to say that Qian Xunji was the most direct factor leading to Bibi Dong's descent into darkness, but unfortunately, this man who could have taken the blame is already dead—dead long before Han Feng arrived. If Han Feng wants to find him, he'll have to dig him up from the ground.

In the end, Han Feng concluded that the entire Douluo Continent was a series of tangled and complicated grudges and affections. If it were really necessary to distinguish right from wrong, then both sides would have to be punished equally. Han Feng couldn't be that upright judge. In the end, it still depended on strength. Whoever won was right!

But this principle of "letting strength speak for itself" was a wake-up call for Han Feng!

Let's see how Tang San was portrayed in the original novel.

When he was a Soul King, he personally went to the Clear Sky Sect with Tang Hao's soul bone to apologize. By the time Tang San became a Title Douluo, Tang Hao had already done nothing wrong. By the time Tang San became a god, who was right and who was wrong was simply a matter for him to decide.

"Sister Qianqian, you're not going to cry from being so touched, are you?" Han Feng sensed Qian Renxue's unease, smiled mischievously, and teased her.

It has to be said that Han Feng does have his own unique insights into making people angry. Qian Renxue's eyes were already filled with tears, but after Han Feng teased her like this, the atmosphere immediately disappeared, and she could no longer cry.

"I didn't cry! Who told you to run all the way back from the far north? Look at you, look at the state you've become!?" Qian Renxue glared at Han Feng, her tone a mix of resentment and embarrassment.

"I was just too worried..." Han Feng, having been scolded by Qian Renxue, had no temper left and chuckled awkwardly.

"You dare to talk back? You've been like this since you were little. You dared to attack a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast as soon as you got your soul ring. Since you know my identity, you should have confidence in me! Those are three titled Douluo. If it weren't for your good luck, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life?!" Looking at Han Feng's carefree appearance, Qian Renxue was both angry and anxious, pointing her finger at Han Feng's nose and scolding him.

"I didn't know! Sister Qianqian, did you tell me...?" Han Feng said guiltily, seeing that Qian Renxue seemed really angry.

Han Feng's words made Qian Renxue's gaze waver slightly, but she wasn't about to admit defeat. Feigning ferocity, she pinched Han Feng's face, pulling at it as she said meaningfully, "But Xiao Feng didn't tell me that he not only secretly broke through to Soul King, but he's also a twin martial soul possessor!"

"Oh, this..."

Han Feng didn't resist, but still stubbornly insisted, "The old Qianqian was very gentle!"

"Huh!?" Qian Renxue laughed in exasperation, pulling Han Feng's face even harder, and asked in a cold voice, "Does Xiao Feng mean I'm not gentle right now?"

In a daze, Qian Renxue once again recalled her first encounter with Han Feng. He was cheeky and his words often made people angry, but his face was full of a flattering, silly smile.

Even though her identity had been exposed, in Han Feng's eyes, she was still his Sister Qianqian. There was no pretense or concealment on Han Feng's face, only sincerity and closeness.

Everything seemed to have changed, yet everything seemed to remain the same. As long as she stood beside Han Feng, Qian Renxue would involuntarily shed all her pretenses. Even if she was burdened with worries, Han Feng could make her temporarily forget everything.

Remembering the feelings that had changed in her heart, Qian Renxue's gaze softened unconsciously.

Han Feng seemed oblivious to all of this. In truth, Qian Renxue's deep thoughts were, to put it nicely, innocent and pure, but to put it bluntly, heartless. With Qian Renxue pinching his cheek, Han Feng could only mumble, "Sister Qianqian, I was wrong. I was just worried about you! I'm not a child anymore, can we find a different way to punish me? It's so embarrassing!"

Whether it was because Qian Renxue heard Han Feng's plea or not, her jade-like hand slowly moved away from Han Feng's face, gently embracing him. Her tender voice rang in Han Feng's ear: "Xiao Feng, do you know, I really like you so much!"

"Huh?" Han Feng was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

Qian Renxue's tone was very serious, without the slightest hint of joking, but when she suddenly blurted out such a sentence out of the blue, Han Feng had no chance to react!

Fortunately, just as Han Feng was at a loss, Qian Renxue's voice rang out again: "So please don't do such dangerous things again, okay?"

Han Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but felt inexplicably disappointed. He still answered truthfully, "This might take a little effort..."

"Can't you just coax me a little?" Qian Renxue sighed somewhat dejectedly upon hearing this, and gave a resentful and coquettish sound.

"Uh..." Han Feng blinked. He felt that Qian Renxue's current state seemed familiar!

"Hold me tight!" Qian Renxue said angrily when Han Feng did not react.

"Huh!? Oh!" Han Feng hugged Qian Renxue, confused, then frowned and said seriously, "Sister Qianqian... your waist has gotten a little thinner!"

Han Feng didn't even consider that possibility, after all, she was his own sister!

Qian Renxue's pretty face darkened, and her previous romantic thoughts vanished instantly. She snorted and said irritably, "Leave me alone! I'm tired! I'm going to sleep!"
