Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

After listening, Xue Qinghe remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was filled with ecstatic joy.

Adao not only had no ill feelings towards the Spirit Hall, but even had some good feelings towards it. This was undoubtedly the second best piece of news Xue Qinghe received today.

The best news was that he learned that Qi Dao had survived being hunted by a Soul Emperor-level Fallen Soul Master and even managed to kill his opponent.

Xue Qinghe has always been arrogant, and he doesn't even take the three people in the Spirit Hall who are known as the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall seriously.

But he treated Qi Dao differently.

At the very beginning, he only wanted to recruit a trusted confidant.

But now, Qi Dao's status in his heart is gradually rising.

He was no longer just a confidant, but more like a friend, or perhaps he had come to regard Qi Dao as his younger brother.

Especially after Qi Dao said he would protect him for life before heading to the Star Dou Great Forest.

That's why he always had a worry in his heart.

If Qi Dao finds out his true identity in the future, will he break off their friendship?

That's why Xue Qinghe was so excited when he discovered that Qi Dao had a good impression of the Spirit Hall.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qi Dao sighed and said, "It's just a pity about Senior Li Luo. He lost an arm while helping me hold off another Fallen Soul Master."

In Douluo Continent, limb amputation is an extremely serious injury, and even the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul cannot regenerate severed limbs.

In the original novel, Tang San healed Tang Hao's severed limb by using a soul bone as a support, and then relying on the Blue Silver Emperor's 100,000-year soul bone's ability of "wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again" to catalyze the regeneration of his flesh, meridians, and bones. Finally, he used the light of the sea god to guide and protect it, which helped him regenerate his severed limb.

Looking at Qi Dao, whose face showed a hint of guilt, Xue Qinghe admired him even more.

He is essentially a cold-hearted person; in his heart, only those he cares about are worthy of his attention.

Therefore, in his view, as long as it helps Qi Dao survive, that's all that matters.

Li Luo would be willing to pay any price, even if it meant losing an arm.

Of course, he didn't want Qi Dao to know this cold-hearted side of him.

He sighed, a hint of regret on his face.

"I am also deeply saddened by the loss of Elder Li Luo's arm, but it is all the fault of those damned fallen soul masters."

"As for Elder Li Luo, he lost his arm for you, so I will certainly not treat him unfairly."

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Xue."

He would never forget that Li Luo lost his arm to help him.

However, he is currently unable to save Li Luo's severed arm.

Beside him, Xue Qinghe frowned slightly.

"Given our relationship, why are you being so polite with your Brother Xue?"

"Alright, then I won't bother with all this formality."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe nodded in satisfaction.

"That's more like it!"

...

Qi Dao sat in the Crown Prince's residence for a while before leaving.

After he left, Xue Qinghe's smile faded, and he said faintly, "Uncle Ci Xue!"

"Young Master!"

Upon hearing the summons, Bloodthirsty Douluo immediately emerged from the shadows.

Xue Qinghe remained expressionless and said calmly, "Since that woman took control of the Spirit Hall, how many years has it been since the Spirit Hall cleaned up those rats in the gutter?"

"Uncle Ci Xue, I need you to return to the Spirit Hall and have Grandpa mobilize the Angel Legion to conduct a thorough cleansing of the border regions between the two empires, and even overseas."

"With the blood and heads of those rats from the gutter, we will rebuild the angelic glory of my Spirit Hall."

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Ci Xue's face immediately lit up with excitement.

Is the young master preparing to vie for power with the Pope?

that is really good!

However, just before Ci Xue was about to take his leave, Xue Qinghe suddenly called him back.

"Young Master, is there anything else you require?"

Xue Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "After you return to the Spirit Hall, ask your grandfather for a thousand-year-old soul bone and give it to Li Luo."

"The Spirit Hall will never mistreat anyone who has contributed to the Spirit Hall!"

In fact, given Xue Qinghe's true character, how could he possibly give up a soul bone for Li Luo?

But who told him to lose his arm because of Qi Dao?

Moreover, since he had already promised Qi Dao that he would not mistreat Li Luo, how could he go back on his word?

Upon hearing this, Ci Xue, who was about to leave, had a hint of envy in his eyes.

This is a soul bone!

Even if it's just a thousand-year-old soul bone, it's still enough to make a titled Douluo like him envious.

In addition, Qian Renxue's generosity also stirred up a strange thought in his mind.

The young master can now reward Li Luo, who has made meritorious contributions, with a thousand-year soul bone. Perhaps in the future, he can reward him and Serpent Spear Douluo with a ten-thousand-year soul bone.

...

On the other side, after returning to the academy, Qi Dao went to Dugu Yan's dormitory first.

"Ado, you're back!"

Dugu Yan opened the door and saw Qi Dao standing outside. Her face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

She hadn't seen Qi Dao for over a month, and she still missed him a little.

Qi Dao looked at Dugu Yan in front of him and smiled, "Yes, I came to see you as soon as I got back to the academy."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled broadly, her heart filled with sweetness.

Although Adao was like a blockhead, at least he still cared about her.

Otherwise, why would he come here as soon as he got back?

"Don't stand outside, come in!"

As Dugu Yan spoke, she pulled Qi Dao into the dormitory.

After inviting Qi Dao to sit down, Dugu Yan poured him a glass of juice.

She knew what Qi Dao liked to drink, so she always kept some in the dormitory.

Qi Dao didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the glass to drink.

Then Dugu Yan asked Qi Dao about what had happened during this time.

When she listened to Qi Dao's account, goosebumps rose on her skin.

That was a Soul Emperor chasing after her; if the other party hadn't been careless, she probably wouldn't be seeing Qi Dao now.

Thinking about this, Dugu Yan felt a wave of fear.

"That was too dangerous. From now on, let Grandpa accompany you on your soul hunts!"

Qi Dao smiled and said, "That would be perfect."

Once Dugu Bo condenses his soul core, his strength will inevitably increase significantly, giving him a huge advantage over other titled Douluos of the same level.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan finally smiled.

The two chatted for a while longer. Just as Qi Dao was about to say goodbye, Dugu Yan guessed his thoughts at a glance and gave a coquettish laugh.

"I can tell at a glance that you're planning to go back to your cultivation. I won't stop you, but you have to accompany me shopping in three days and carry my bags."

"Of course, that's after we finish at the Great Soul Arena."

"It's been so long since we fought together!"

Qi Dao readily agreed with a smile, "Of course, it's settled then!"

After he left, Dugu Yan watched his figure disappear into the distance, a smile appearing on her face.

She liked Qi Dao, and she could also sense that Qi Dao had feelings for her.

Qi Dao was just too rational; he wouldn't let love interfere with his cultivation.

Dugu Yan also noticed this, but it did not diminish her fondness for Qi Dao in the slightest.

Since Qi Dao enjoys cultivation, she will cultivate with him.

We will walk the same path together until we reach the pinnacle of the continent.
