Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 57 An Encounter with Qian Renxue

Ye Liangchen has now awakened his divine armor, which allows him to fly directly. In addition, his soul power has reached level 49, making his flight speed extremely fast. He quickly flew away from the area where Dugu Bo lived.

This trip exceeded Ye Liangchen's expectations. He originally thought that he would only increase his soul power by a few levels at most, but unexpectedly, his twin martial souls awakened their domains, and even his goddess martial soul awakened its divine equipment. It was so awesome.

"Click-clack...!"

"Good marksmanship."

That morning, Ye Liangchen shot two pheasants with his Glock 21 pistol, preparing to have a special meal. He had been busy for several days, constantly eating dry rations, and his mouth was practically tasteless.

Ye Liangchen was in a great mood. He carried the pheasant and searched for water in the Sunset Forest.

Suddenly, a light appeared a kilometer ahead, like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight. Ye Liangchen looked closely and found it was a small lake. He quickly sped towards the lake, thinking that where there was a lake, there would be fish, and he could make a boiled fish dish.

The small lake is located in a forest. It is not large, estimated to be several thousand square meters. When Ye Liangchen arrived at the edge of the lake, he saw a beautiful view.

"Splash... splash..."

The scene before me was two women bathing in the lake. One of them had stunningly beautiful blonde hair and looked very elegant, clearly a young lady from a wealthy family. The other woman was also quite pretty, but far less so than the blonde. The other woman was constantly scrubbing the blonde woman's back; she was probably her maid.

"Splash... splash..."

The two women were playing in the water and having a great time, unaware of Ye Liangchen's arrival.

Holy crap! What day is it today? To see such a sight.

Adhering to the principle of not looking at what is improper, Ye Liangchen turned and left. Besides, the blonde woman was from a respectable family and might have powerful guards nearby. He didn't want to get involved in such trouble.

"Click..."

Fate is so strange; when you don't want trouble, trouble just happens to you.

Just as Ye Liangchen turned around, he stepped on a dry twig, making a sound that attracted the attention of two women in the lake.

"Ah...! Miss, someone has broken in!" the blonde woman's maid exclaimed.

"Who are you?"

The blonde woman looked at the boy on the shore, who had his back to them and was carrying two pheasants.

"Excuse me, ladies, I came here by accident and have disturbed you."

"But I didn't see anything. You guys continue, I'll be leaving right away."

Ye Liangchen spouted nonsense with a straight face, then quickly left the place. Moreover, he sensed two powerful figures rushing towards him a thousand meters away, and he didn't want to get entangled in trouble.

"Xiao Chen, what did you see?" The Blue Silver Emperor extended a branch from Ye Liangchen's collar, sensing the woman behind him.

"Sister Ayin, it's nothing. I just saw the other person bathing in the lake. You should hide well. There are two powerful people rushing over from a distance."

Ye Liangchen sped up and quickly left the place. He originally wanted to fly directly using his martial soul, but his martial soul was too beautiful and easy for people to remember. His external soul bone was also too obvious. Besides, in this dense forest, he could take down the opponent at any time with an HK416 assault rifle, so he didn't have to worry about safety at all.

"Kid, you think you can just walk away when you see me? You'd better stop right there."

At this moment, the blonde woman had already gone ashore, put on her clothes, and quickly chased after Ye Liangchen.

"You think you can just stop because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?"

Ye Liangchen glanced back at the blonde woman. Although she was very beautiful, she had a bad temper and wasn't his type, so he ignored her and continued running into the dense forest.

"Stop right there!" the blonde woman shouted, continuing to chase after Ye Liangchen.

"I've already apologized to you, what more do you want? I'll give you these two pheasants as compensation."

Seeing that the woman still wanted to grab him, Ye Liangchen smirked and threw the two pheasants to her. He then used the Five Elements Bewildering Steps to shake off the blonde woman's pursuit in just a few breaths.

"Buzzing..."

The blonde woman had never seen such amazing footwork before; it was as fast as lightning. So she immediately activated her martial spirit, and a humanoid martial spirit appeared behind her, along with six golden wings, which gave her the ability to fly.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Just then, two powerful figures arrived a hundred meters behind the blonde woman and were shocked to see that their young lady had actually activated her martial soul.

"Elders, a strange young man has entered the lakeside. He must have seen my true face."

The blonde woman recounted the events of the past to the two elders, even suspecting them of being spies. If so, she felt compelled to silence them to continue her plans.

"Damn it, that kid has discovered the young lady's face. This could cause a major disruption to our plans."

The two old men immediately gave chase, and although they could not fly, they were incredibly fast.

"Elders, seize that boy and bring him here. I need to interrogate him about his origins."

The blonde woman had now transformed into a man. She seemed to lack masculinity, but at least outwardly she resembled a man.

These three were Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, and her two titled Douluo subordinates, Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluo.

Qian Renxue came to Sunset Forest to obtain her fifth spirit ring. After successfully obtaining the fifth spirit ring, she took a bath in this small lake, while her two subordinates guarded the outer edge of the lake to prevent powerful spirit beasts from entering.

Unexpectedly, no soul beasts broke in, but a young man did, and she even saw Qian Renxue taking a bath. This was unbearable for her. Moreover, the young man looked like an ordinary, unremarkable boy, which did not match his imposing and dignified demeanor. Something was strange about him.

After leaving the blonde woman several thousand meters behind, Ye Liangchen figured she probably wouldn't chase after him anymore.

"Swish..."

Just then, two powerful old men caught up to Ye Liangchen within a few breaths, closing in on him at a distance of twenty meters and locking onto him with their powerful auras.

"Xiao Chen, the opponent is a Title Douluo, run!"

At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor hidden in Ye Liangchen's chest sensed the danger and transmitted a message to him through his soul.

"Sister Ayin, I sensed it too. The opponent's strength is about the same as Grandma Dean's."

Ye Liangchen inwardly complained. He thought seeing a beautiful woman taking a bath was a good thing, but he never expected it would cause him so much trouble.

"Kid, you're pretty fast."

"Surrender now and come with us to see the young master, or the consequences will be severe."

How could Ye Liangchen possibly surrender? If he were captured by these two Title Douluos, his life might be in danger.

"Damn it! Who are these two guys? Where did the Heaven Dou Empire get two Title Douluos? Could they be Qian Renxue's two subordinates? Could the blonde woman from before be Qian Renxue?"

"Holy crap! This is such a melodramatic plot!"

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen instantly activated the Five Elements Bewildering Steps, leaping dozens of meters away, startling the two Title Douluos behind him.

"This kid is so slippery! What kind of footwork is that? It's amazing!"

"Where did this little monster come from? At such a young age, his soul power has already reached the advanced Soul Master level, which is even more heaven-defying than the young master. Moreover, his mental power is even more terrifying, almost catching up with the two of us."

Ye Liangchen's extraordinary abilities piqued the interest of two Title Douluo, who quickly chased after him in the direction he disappeared, hoping to capture him.

"You two seniors, as Title Douluos, actually dared to bully a mere Soul Master like me! This is an insult to your dignity!"

As Ye Liangchen sped along, he relayed messages to those behind him.

"Young man, you seem to be a genius. Come back with us quickly. I will recommend you to the young master. As long as you serve her, I can guarantee you wealth and glory."

Seeing Ye Liangchen's extraordinary talent, the two titled Douluo did not kill him. Instead, they wanted to take him back. So, like a cat chasing a mouse, they followed closely behind Ye Liangchen, intending to capture him when his soul power was exhausted.

"I have no interest in wealth and glory, nor would I ever serve your young master. If you two seniors continue to pursue me, the consequences will be severe."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen activated his Wind and Thunder Wings and flew several hundred meters into the air, leaving his two titled Douluo dumbfounded.

"This kid actually has the ability to fly?"

The martial souls of the two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine Pufferfish, cannot fly, and they also do not have any flying skills. Even if they jump, they cannot jump that high.

"Make your move."

"Swish..."

The two titled Douluo immediately activated their martial souls, two yellow, two purple, and five black, resulting in nine spirit rings. One thinner old man held a long spear, while the other old man resembled a pufferfish with a large belly covered in sharp spines.

Using their Title Douluo-level soul power, the two sped off in the direction Ye Liangchen had gone.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The speed of a Title Douluo is indeed fast; in just a few moments, he caught up to Ye Liangchen not far behind.

"Hey kid, stop right there, or I'm going to make my move."

Serpent Spear Douluo briefly stood in mid-air, holding his serpent spear, and shouted at Ye Liangchen, who was a hundred meters away.

"Since you two seniors refuse to listen to advice and are even planning to attack me, I have no choice but to send you on your way."

Seeing that the other party was relentlessly pursuing him, Ye Liangchen also lost his patience. With a thought, the HK416 assault rifle instantly appeared in his hand, and he quickly fired a shot at Snake Spear Douluo.

"Pfft..."

In the blink of an eye, the bullet struck the Serpent Spear Douluo in the stomach, causing him to fall from a height of over a hundred feet.

"Ah ah..."

"Old She! What happened?"

When the Porcupine Douluo saw the Serpent Spear Douluo fall from the sky, spitting out blood, he was immediately horrified.

"Old man, it feels like something punctured my lung."

"That kid is weird. I don't know what he used to hit me."

At this moment, Serpent Spear Douluo coughed up blood, his face filled with terror. He had been severely injured by a single blow; it was terrifying.

"Kid, who are you?"

The Porcupine Douluo jumped onto a large tree and looked at Ye Liangchen, who was a few hundred meters away. He found that Ye Liangchen was standing on the top of a hundred-meter-tall tree, looking at him and the injured Serpent Spear with a calm and collected expression.

"Don't bother me anymore, or the consequences will be severe."

"Pfft..."

Ye Liangchen said something indifferently, then quickly fired a shot at the thigh of the Porcupine Douluo, flying thousands of meters into the air and ignoring them.

"Ah ah..."

The bullet struck the porcupine's right leg instantly, breaking its leg bone and causing it to fall from the tree.

"We must go back quickly, or the young master will be in danger."

Serpent Spear had been shot in the lung, but was not dead yet. At this moment, he saw that his old buddy's leg had been broken. It was too terrible.

"Go back quickly."

Although the two were seriously injured, they were both titled Douluo and could hold on. A dozen minutes later, they returned to Qian Renxue's side.

"Elders, you are injured."

Qian Renxue was shocked to see the disheveled state of her two subordinates, especially the Serpent Spear Douluo, whose body was pierced through and whose lower body was stained red with blood. He looked terrible. The Porcupine Douluo's right leg was also broken.

"Young Master, we must leave quickly. That kid is too strange, or the consequences will be severe."

"That kid also has the ability to fly, and at such a young age, his cultivation has already reached the high-level Soul Master realm. It's too heaven-defying."

The two Title Douluos recounted what they had encountered while chasing the boy, and they even suspected that there was an even more powerful Title Douluo behind the boy.

"We'll return to the Heavenly Dou Imperial City immediately. I'll ask Patriarch Ye to treat the two elders' injuries."

Qian Renxue was also frightened by such a major incident, so she asked her maid to quickly treat the wounds of the two elders, and the group quickly left Sunset Forest and returned to Tiandou City.

After injuring two Title Douluos with an assault rifle, Ye Liangchen flew away quickly, stopping only after traveling about ten kilometers.

"Even a titled Douluo can't withstand the lethality of an HK416 assault rifle, that's impressive."

Ye Liangchen took out the HK416 King of Chicken Dinner, weighed it in his hand, and at that moment he really wanted to shout: Who else?

However, it's understandable. The HK416 King of Chicken is so powerful that even a Title Douluo is just a mortal and couldn't withstand it. Fortunately, they didn't use the Barrett MK22, otherwise those two old men would have been killed instantly.

Ye Liangchen never expected that his trip to Sunset Forest would lead him to encounter Qian Renxue, and that he would even injure two of her subordinates. However, since he did not reveal his true identity, he was not worried that she would discover anything.
