As time passed, the room grew quiet, with only the sound of their intertwined breathing remaining.

Xuan Hao's breathing, which was originally somewhat heavy and hot, miraculously calmed down after he was in her warm embrace, becoming even and long.

Qian Renxue lowered her head and, by the faint moonlight filtering in from the window, looked at the boy in her arms who had buried his head in her chest and whose sleeping face looked rather obedient. The nervousness and shyness she had felt earlier vanished instantly.

Instead, a strange, even maternal, tenderness welled up in my heart like an unstoppable spring.

Yes, she almost forgot.

This seemingly powerful and domineering figure, capable of unleashing devastating "blood bombs" at the slightest provocation and manipulating the entire continent's situation, is, in reality... just a child.

She was also a child she had watched grow up, bit by bit.

Qian Renxue's gaze softened completely. She sighed softly, stretched out her fair arms, and gently hugged Xuan Hao back.

Gone was the tense, fiery passion of before, and the blush-inducing primal urges. The two simply embraced quietly, enjoying this moment of gentle tranquility that belonged only to each other.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Qian Renxue was infected by this warm atmosphere and her eyelids began to droop, she was about to fall into a deep sleep.

Xuan Hao, who was in her arms, suddenly moved. He abruptly pulled his head out of her arms and darted upwards, bringing his handsome face, tinged with excitement, close to her eyes once again.

"Ah!" Qian Renxue was startled awake by the sudden movement, all sleepiness gone, and she was once again thrown into extreme panic. She instinctively placed her hands on Xuan Hao's chest, stammering, "What...what are you doing?! Did you lose control again...?"

However, Xuan Hao slapped his thigh, spoiling the mood, his eyes shining brightly in the darkness: "Oh dear! I almost forgot the important matter! Xue'er, didn't I tell you before that once my cultivation breaks through to level seventy, I'll teach you how to condense a soul core together!"

"..."

Qian Renxue stared at him blankly, as if she had been frozen in place, a row of question marks slowly floating across her forehead.

"Anyway, we're just killing time in the middle of the night. I've been suffering from qi and blood deficiency lately and can't fight anyone, so let's take advantage of this free time to condense our soul cores!" Xuan Hao planned enthusiastically, completely unaware of Qian Renxue's face, which had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Qian Renxue felt like she was about to choke on her own blood; she was utterly speechless.

This is an ambiguous moment in the dead of night, a lonely man and woman in bed together, having just finished being intimate...

Do you really have to bring up such a mood-ruining, hardcore training topic?!

Are you a piece of wood that has come to life?!

But looking into Xuan Hao's eyes, which were full of seriousness and expectation, Qian Renxue's anger and embarrassment could only turn into a helpless sigh, and she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Well, they can't really do anything outrageous until his weak body recovers anyway.

Given Xuan Hao's current eerily unwavering composure, she knew very well that no matter how much she undressed and teased him, this bastard would not budge an inch as long as he brought up the banner of "cultivation"!

Seeing that Qian Renxue finally gritted her teeth and compromised, Xuan Hao didn't delay any longer. He immediately dropped his playful demeanor and became more serious than ever before.

"Condensing a soul core is no child's play. It is extremely dangerous. Once you start, you must devote yourself to it wholeheartedly and cannot afford to be distracted in the slightest."

Xuan Hao straightened his clothes, sat up from the bed, and solemnly instructed, "So, before we officially begin, you should call in the Serpent Spear Douluo from outside. For the next three days, we must not be disturbed by anyone under any circumstances."

Chapter 254 Condensing the Soul Core

……

Although Qian Renxue was exasperated by Xuan Hao's "steel straight man" behavior of "not doing anything productive in the middle of the night but insisting on dragging people to cultivate immortality," she knew what was important. She quickly straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, regained her aloof and dignified demeanor, and summoned the Serpent Spear Douluo, who was hidden in the shadows of the Crown Prince's residence.

When Serpent Spear Douluo appeared silently in the secret room, his gaze subtly swept between Xuan Hao and his young master, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he knew better than to ask anything.

"For the next three days, I will be in seclusion with Xuanhao to cultivate. No one is allowed to approach this secret chamber." Qian Renxue ordered in a deep voice, "If anyone comes looking for the Crown Prince, whether they are members of the royal family or important officials of the court, they shall be turned away on the grounds that 'the Crown Prince has suddenly gained some enlightenment and is currently in seclusion to break through.'"

"Yes, young master!" Serpent Spear Douluo respectfully accepted the order.

It's perfectly normal for a Soul Master to suddenly announce a period of seclusion when they sense a breakthrough opportunity. Using this excuse to deal with the outside world is a flawless tactic.

After Serpent Spear Douluo withdrew and personally guarded the outside of the secret chamber, Xuan Hao and Qian Renxue sat cross-legged facing each other on the futon in the center of the chamber.

"Xue'er, your martial soul is a six-winged angel, and the soul power within you is the purest and most extreme sacred attribute."

Xuan Hao stared intently into Qian Renxue's eyes, his tone grave as he analyzed the implications: "While this kind of extreme soul power is undeniably domineering and powerful, it can also become extremely volatile and dangerous during the process of highly compressing and condensing the soul core. If you're not careful, that violent divine energy will explode directly within your meridians."

"Therefore, to ensure that everything goes smoothly, during the condensation process, I must personally use my spiritual power and soul power to probe into your body to help you guide and suppress this power."

Xuan Hao took a deep breath. "During this process, you must completely relax, both physically and mentally, and open all your defenses to me. No matter where I guide your soul power to attack, you absolutely cannot have any instinctive resistance or opposition. Can you do that?"

Upon hearing Xuan Hao's request, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat.

For a Soul Master, allowing another person's Soul Power to enter and take over their meridians and source power without any hindrance is tantamount to stripping themselves naked in front of the other person and handing over their life and fortune completely to the other person!

Aside from her own grandfather, even if it were the honored grandfathers in the Spirit Hall who had watched her grow up, Qian Renxue would never agree to such a suicidal request.

But... looking at the boy in front of her with clear eyes and a serious expression, Qian Renxue felt no sense of wariness or hesitation.

Even she herself found it unbelievable that in this world full of dangers, scheming, and betrayal, she would have such unreserved and absolute trust in a troublemaker who was always talking nonsense and acting recklessly, when it came to such a life-or-death matter.

"Okay, I believe you." Qian Renxue took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, withdrew all the soul power defenses in her body, and completely surrendered herself to Xuan Hao. "Come on."

Seeing Qian Renxue's decisiveness, Xuan Hao wasted no more time. A stream of pure golden soul power flowed from his fingertips, gently yet firmly probing into Qian Renxue's body, carefully guiding her vast and turbulent divine soul power, compressing it wildly towards her dantian along a mysterious trajectory.

While Xuan Hao was focused on guiding Qian Renxue to condense her soul core, he was also undergoing a dramatic transformation within his own body!

However, the soul core that Xuan Hao wants to condense is fundamentally different from the soul cores of Qian Renxue and even the vast majority of soul masters in this world.

Others condense their soul cores to compress their soul power, increase their reserves, and improve their recovery speed.

However, the greatest purpose of his condensation of the soul core was to completely balance and fuse the two completely opposite yet equally domineering forces within his body—the power of the Golden Dragon King, representing ultimate strength and blood, and the power of the Silver Dragon King, representing ultimate elements and spirit!

A single soul core simply cannot bear these two extreme powers. Therefore, what Xuan Hao wants to condense is a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang!

To forcibly condense such a heaven-defying dual soul core at the level of a level 70 Soul Saint is as difficult as an ordinary person ascending to heaven. With Xuan Hao's current foundation and control, he clearly does not possess such an ability.

However, the reason he dares to do this is naturally because he has the strongest backing!

Just as the gold and silver soul power within Xuan Hao's body was about to go berserk due to mutual repulsion.

"hold head high--!"

"Roar--!"

Accompanied by two illusory yet powerful ancient dragon roars, two terrifying energies, one red and one blue, suddenly awakened from Xuan Hao's limbs and bones!

The Ice Dragon King's ultimate ice transformed into a chilling, yin-like power, while the Fire Dragon King's ultimate fire transformed into a raging, yang-like power. These two divine powers erupted within Xuan Hao's body, precisely intervening in the conflict between the golden and silver dragons' powers.

With the powerful assistance and frenzied suppression of the two dragon kings, Ice and Fire, the originally chaotic soul power within Xuan Hao's body miraculously formed a perfect Tai Chi Yin-Yang vortex, beginning a difficult yet steady compression and transformation towards the legendary "Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core"...

Three days pass in the blink of an eye during intense, focused training.

Inside the secret chamber, Qian Renxue, who had been silent all along, finally slowly opened her eyes, which shone like stars. Deep within her eyes, a pure, almost tangible golden divine light flashed and disappeared.

She subconsciously took a deep breath and was immediately surprised to notice the earth-shattering changes within her body!

Deep within her dantian, a solidified, miniature golden vortex had appeared unnoticed. This thing, which Xuan Hao called the "soul core," was relentlessly and wildly spinning within her body along a mysterious trajectory.

Each rotation would exaggerate the secondary compression of her already domineering divine soul power, not only making the quality of the soul power purer, but also causing her soul power recovery speed to soar to an outrageous level!

Moreover, Qian Renxue keenly discovered that although her current soul power level did not directly increase due to the three days of seclusion, the total soul power stored in her dantian had increased significantly compared to before!

Don't underestimate this seemingly insignificant increase in reserves!

This expansion of basic reserves will increase exponentially as the soul power level increases!

When she breaks through to the Title Douluo level, or even reaches the level of a peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine, this extra "little bit" will become a vast ocean!

At the same level, her soul power reserves far exceed those of others of the same rank, and her recovery speed is extremely abnormal. Combined with the domineering and unparalleled holy attribute purification ability of the six-winged angel... once a war of attrition begins, her advantage will be overwhelming!

Chapter 255 The Exposed Twin Martial Souls

……

However, before Qian Renxue could recover from the immense joy of condensing the sacred soul core and properly savor it, a wisp of cool air suddenly touched her skin.

The surprise on Qian Renxue's face froze instantly.

She looked down sharply and was horrified to discover that she was completely naked!

During these three days of frantically compressing the sacred soul power, that extremely pure energy surged within the body, inevitably generating terrifyingly high temperatures on the surface of the body.

Not only was her exquisitely crafted princely robe burned to ashes, but even the futon she was sitting on, woven from a special material, had long since turned into a pile of ashes scattered by the wind.

"Om-"

Qian Renxue's brain went blank for a moment, and an alluring blush spread across her fair skin at a visible speed.

Even worse, when she frantically looked up at the other side...

Sitting directly in front of her, Xuan Hao was in the exact same situation! Because he had also experienced violent energy compression, Xuan Hao's clothes had long since turned to ashes in the high temperature.

The two of them sat cross-legged facing each other, completely naked!

"what……"

Qian Renxue instinctively wanted to cry out, her hands instinctively covering her chest. But she quickly swallowed the sound back, because she realized that Xuan Hao opposite her had not woken up.

At this moment, Xuan Hao still had his eyes closed, and was in a crucial state of deep meditation.

After a brief period of extreme shyness and panic, Qian Renxue's top-tier genius-level combat intuition and keen perception quickly drew her attention to the strange phenomena occurring on Xuan Hao.

She originally thought that Xuan Hao, like her, had been compressing his domineering and unparalleled blood and energy over the past three days.

But at this moment, brilliant golden and silver light was rhythmically alternating around Xuan Hao's body!

The golden light was filled with a familiar, violent power and extreme blood energy that seemed capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart—clearly the signature aura of his Golden Dragon Martial Soul.

However, within that silver light, which rivaled the golden light and was gentle yet unfathomable, emanated a pure and terrifying elemental power that even made Qian Renxue, a six-winged angel, tremble with fear!

Wind, fire, water, earth, light, darkness, space... countless pure and ultimate elements are constantly intertwining and evolving within that layer of silver light, ultimately converging into a massive spiritual storm!

"This elemental power..."

Qian Renxue disregarded the fact that she was still naked. She stared wide-eyed at the strange phenomenon on Xuan Hao's body, which was half as violent as a god and half as unfathomable as an abyss.

"Ultimate power and vitality... and this pure manipulation of elements?"

Qian Renxue gasped, her red lips parted slightly, her face filled with disbelief: "He actually... doesn't have a single martial soul? This... could it be a twin martial soul?!"

Qian Renxue stared intently at Xuan Hao, whose eyes were tightly closed, her feelings becoming more complicated than ever before.

She was not only deeply shocked and misjudged Xuan Hao's extraordinary talent, but also, after a brief moment of shock, felt an indescribable anger and deep resentment welling up uncontrollably in her heart.

That bastard... he actually hid it so well!

Over the years, the two of them have spent every day together in Tiandou City, testing each other, and recently they finally broke through the barrier and talked things out.

In the end, this guy actually kept his trump card of having "twin martial souls" from her, not revealing a single word to her!
