Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 353 Xue Ke: Do I still have a choice?

"Xue Ke?"

Gu Rong frowned, puzzled, and asked Han Feng with a questioning look.

Even though Gu Rong treated Ning Rongrong like his own granddaughter, he didn't object to Han Feng's womanizing ways; after all, a man who isn't womanizing in his youth is wasting his life.

But even being a womanizer has to be timed, right?

At a time like this, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to go to Xue Ke?

Is it because you feel guilty for killing the emperor's brother, so you deliberately went to get a preventative shot beforehand?

Han Feng met Gu Rong's gaze and immediately guessed what Gu Rong was thinking. He rolled his eyes and twitched his lips as he protested, "Hey Senior Gu! What are you thinking?! Do you think I'm that kind of person?! What kind of bizarre and outlandish perspective did you use to imagine that kind of relationship between me and Xue Ke?!"

"Grandpa Bone!" Ning Rongrong glared at Gu Rong with displeasure.

Seeing this, Gu Rong smiled sheepishly and quickly apologized, "It's my fault! Let's go quickly!"

After saying that, the ancient banyan tree reopened a new spatial portal, leading to Xue Ke's princess palace.

"Han Feng!" At this moment, Ning Rongrong tugged at Han Feng's sleeve and said worriedly, "Your cultivation..."

Han Feng did not hide the contents of his divine test from Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong naturally knew that Han Feng's next divine test required him to push his blood and qi power and soul power cultivation to the level of a level 60 Soul Emperor within a year!

Soul power is not a concern. Han Feng is already at level 59. Even if he doesn't actively cultivate, he will automatically improve in a few months. However, blood and qi power is different. Without the body-refining secret method bestowed by the God of Defense, Han Feng can only use the most rudimentary method to temper his body and refine blood and qi power from the essence of flesh and blood. Even with the support of massive resources, the speed is not very fast!

In the past two months, Han Feng has completely given up cultivating his soul power and devoted himself to tempering his blood and qi power, but he has only managed to increase his level by one!

For Han Feng, raising his Qi and Blood Power to the Soul Emperor realm within a year is no easy task!

That requires a lot of hard work and dedication to cultivate!

Ning Rongrong was worried that Han Feng would be trapped in the avalanche and unable to get away, which would delay his cultivation and ultimately lead to his failure in the divine test, which would be a great loss!

Upon hearing this, Han Feng smiled gently, ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, and said with a smile, "It won't take up any time!"

Perhaps in Ning Rongrong and Gu Rong's eyes, Han Feng would need to use all his connections, resources, and even power to coerce Xue Ye and Xue Beng, force Xue Ye to dismiss Xue Beng, and force Xue Ye to hand over Xue Beng, which would naturally take a lot of time!

After all, things are different now. When Han Feng slaughtered the eleven elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Snow Emperor was there to oversee things, and no one in the entire Heaven Dou City dared to make a move. Han Feng could do whatever he wanted, but the Snow Emperor is not here now!

But in Han Feng's opinion, it wasn't that troublesome!

Gu Rong and the others were used to looking at problems from the perspective of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and used to winning by crushing forces. But Han Feng didn't need so many twists and turns. For Han Feng, finding Avalanche, raising his hand and slashing with his sword, the white blade went in and the red blade came out. He burned it with the ultimate fire, scattered the ashes, and the problem was solved!

Of course, this was not Han Feng being reckless; on the contrary, it was the result of Han Feng's careful consideration!

Since we're going to kill them all anyway, we might as well cut the Gordian knot!

As for the so-called obstacles from the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, they were utterly insignificant in Han Feng's eyes!

It wasn't that Han Feng looked down on the Heaven Dou Empire. Seven days after the Heavenly Tribulation dissipated, the Snow Emperor quietly found Han Feng and gave him five new Emperor Sword Ice Crystals. With just five Emperor Sword Ice Crystals, Han Feng could walk around the Heaven Dou Empire with impunity!

Dugu Bo!?

Leaving aside the fact that Dugu Bo's deadly poison is completely countered by extreme ice and extreme fire, the question is, can Dugu Bo withstand a single strike from the Ice Crystal Emperor Sword?

There's no need to elaborate on Chen Xin and Gu Rongjiu; Gu Rongjiu even deliberately came to remind him that Xue Beng had returned, making his attitude quite clear!

Since that's the case, what does Han Feng have to fear?

It's not like Han Feng didn't return an emperor to the Heaven Dou Empire. Killing Xue Beng had absolutely no impact on the common people under the Heaven Dou Empire's rule!

So we went to look for it!

"Shall we go together?" Han Feng thought for a moment, then took Ning Rongrong's hand and said.

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed and grabbed Han Feng's hand, nodding quickly. According to Ning Fengzhi, he didn't actually want Ning Rongrong to show up. After all, on the surface, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family hadn't done anything to wrong the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. But from Ning Rongrong's perspective, how could she vent her anger if she couldn't witness Xue Beng being beheaded?

Gu Rong hesitated for a moment, but seeing Ning Rongrong's joyful smile, he ultimately said nothing.

If Ning Fengzhi asks, we can just shift the blame onto Han Feng!

In any case, Ning Fengzhi already treats this prospective son-in-law like a son!

With that thought in mind, Gu Rong no longer hesitated. He opened the spatial portal wide and said to Han Feng and Ning Rongrong, "Let's go!"

Han Feng and Ning Rongrong didn't hesitate and plunged in, with Gu Rong following closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong took another step and arrived at the Princess Palace, where Xue Ke was right in front of them.

Interestingly, Xue Ke showed no surprise at Han Feng and Ning Rongrong's sudden appearance. Instead, she seemed to have expected it, crossing her arms and watching Han Feng and Ning Rongrong with interest. She said with a hint of sarcasm, "My royal brother has already been conferred his title! I thought you wouldn't come looking for me!"

Compared to the original work, Qian Renxue is exposed earlier and experiences the ups and downs of life earlier, while Xue Ke matures earlier than in the original work.

"Enough with the nonsense! I'm in a hurry, and you have two choices!" Han Feng said impatiently, too lazy to argue with Xue Ke any further.

Xue Ke wasn't angry; she just smiled wearily and said, "I'm all ears!"

"First! You agree to my previous proposal, then I'll kill Avalanche and Snowstar, and you'll become emperor!"

"Secondly! Even if you disagree with my previous proposal, I will still kill Avalanche and Snowstar. You may still be a princess, or you may no longer be!"

"Is there any difference?" Xue Ke frowned slightly and asked softly—she was asking what impact her choice would have on the entire Heaven Dou Empire, rather than just who would be the emperor.

Han Feng clicked his tongue lightly, but still explained, "If you choose the first path, then there's nothing more to say. Starting tomorrow, you will be the first female emperor of Douluo Continent, the first in history. What will become of the entire country depends on your own decision—whether you want to be a tyrant or a wise ruler!"

"If you choose the second path, you can only hope that the old tree in the snowy night will bloom again, giving birth to a new prince, and that the snowy night can hold on for another ten or twenty years, then there will be no worries. Otherwise, you should be able to foresee foreign invasion, the destruction of the country, and the loss of your family!"

Han Feng's words made Xue Ke's breath catch in her throat, her eyes narrowing sharply. She then gave a helpless, bitter laugh and sighed, "Do I even have a choice?"

May the snowy night give birth to another son!?

It would be better to hope that Xueke will give birth to a grandson of the emperor herself!

"Smart!" Han Feng grinned upon seeing this, and said, "I love talking to smart people!"

"Senior Gu, take her with you!" Han Feng shouted to the void behind him.

Gu Rong was a little confused. Only now did he understand what Han Feng wanted to do. A woman becoming emperor was absolutely unprecedented!

Therefore, Gu Rong didn't react immediately, and it was this momentary daze that gave Xue Ke the opportunity to exclaim, "I can agree to your previous proposal, but I have one condition!"

Han Feng frowned, somewhat displeased, but Xue Ke didn't give him a chance to lash out, seizing the opportunity to say, "If I were emperor, I could provide you with conveniences, and I would try my best to meet your requests. But if you intend to harm the interests of the empire's people, or do anything immoral, then I would rather let the Heavenly Dou Empire disappear from the annals of history!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Feng narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at the girl in front of him who was the same age as him. He was surprised to find that she looked at him with new respect!

Xue Ke understood that Han Feng wouldn't have gone against the majority and helped her ascend the throne without a reason. For the sake of the Heavenly Battle and the people, she could be Han Feng's puppet emperor, but she was unwilling to be Han Feng's lackey and do heinous things!

This is Xueke's bottom line!

Even if Han Feng didn't have this idea, Xue Ke still had to make it clear!

"Take her away!" Han Feng's eyes were slightly swollen. After a few breaths, he did not directly answer Xue Ke's question, but only shouted two words to Gu Rong!
