In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"Like this... and like this again..." In the courtyard, Qian Renxue held the sacred sword, and Lan Si stood behind her, guiding her hand as she practiced swordsmanship.

After one round of sword dance practice, Qian Renxue quickly learned most of it.

"Alright, that's enough for today!" Qian Renxue sheathed the Angelic Holy Sword, turned around and wiped non-existent beads of sweat from Lan Si's forehead, and said with a light smile, "I really don't know how you came up with this idea. I didn't know a sword could be used like this. I once saw the Sword Douluo, who is known as having the strongest attack power in the world, use his sword. Although his swordplay was fierce, his moves were not as outstanding as yours. Under the same conditions, without using soul power, and simply comparing themselves side by side, perhaps the two of you could put up a fight."

The First Evolution

"Perhaps it's truly because I'm exceptionally talented," Lan Si said calmly, holding Qian Renxue's hand.

Qian Renxue blushed, rolled her eyes at him, and said coquettishly, "Fine, don't tell me if you don't want to."

As soon as she finished speaking, a carrier pigeon flew over. Qian Renxue took the note off the pigeon, read it, and handed it to Lan Si. "Here, the Shrek Academy that you asked me to have someone keep an eye on has arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Just like you, they beat up my stupid little brother Xue Beng as soon as they arrived. I reckon that guy is thinking of finding someone to take revenge on those Shrek people!"

Lan Si took a look, nodded slightly, and raised his hand to summon the Azure Lotus Martial Soul. "Xue'er, I should leave now."

"Where are you planning to go?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

"Sunset Forest, let's go retrieve something that's very important to me," Lan Si said with a smile.

"Sunset Forest is the territory of the old poison master Dugu Bo, and there are quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the inner area. Do you want me to send someone to accompany you?" She still needed to play the role of Xue Qinghe and could not easily leave Tiandou City.

Lan Si shook her head. "No need. Just wait here for me to come back. According to the information I got from Dugu Yan, the old poison master is not in Sunset Forest today."

"What you want, it's not with that old poison master, is it?" Qian Renxue asked with some surprise.

Lan Si nodded slightly, leaped onto the green lotus, activated the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique, and in the blink of an eye, his figure turned into a black dot and disappeared into the horizon.

Gazing at the spot where Lan Si had disappeared, Qian Renxue frowned and murmured to herself, "What exactly was he looking for?"

Just as Qian Renxue was muttering to herself, two dark figures suddenly appeared behind her, namely the two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine.

"Uncle She, go and follow behind A-Si to protect him until he returns to Tian Dou City. Remember, A-Si seems to have a strong ability to sense soul power fluctuations, so keep your distance and don't let him notice you." Qian Renxue said calmly without turning around.

"Yes, Young Master." Serpent Spear Douluo responded respectfully, and with a flash, he leaped off in the direction Lan Si had gone.

“Uncle Porcupine, that brat Xue Beng suffered such a huge loss at Shrek Academy this time, he will definitely seek revenge. Shrek has three Hun Sheng and several Soul Emperors. If nothing unexpected happens, he will ask Prince Xue Xing to ask Dugu Bo to intervene. After he leaves the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you should intercept him and try not to let him discover your identity until A Si returns to Heaven Dou City safely,” Qian Renxue continued.

Chapter 300 A Stormy Era (6000-word long chapter)

—Updated before 8 AM—

P.S.: This is a three-in-one post, still writing. I'll check my progress; if I'm in good shape, I'll continue with five updates a day.

Watching the two girls fight, Lan Si's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Seriously, are all girls' fights this terrifying?

Huo Wushuang walked to Lan Si's side, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Aren't you going to stop them? My sister has undergone professional combat training. Although she is a girl, if it really comes down to a fight, even two or three grown men would not be her match without her using her soul power."

"It's alright, let them fight. Zhu Qing has been bored for a while now, so let her have some fun. Besides, Zhu Qing's close combat ability is no less than anyone else in this competition," Lan Si said calmly.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see." Hearing this, Huo Wushuang said nothing more and quietly watched the battle between his sister and Zhu Zhuqing.

Perhaps because they were currently in front of the Heaven Dou Arena, a large crowd of onlookers gradually gathered around. Among them, some quickly recognized Huo Wu's identity.

"Isn't that Huo Wu, the vice-captain of Blazing Academy? Why is she fighting someone? And who is she fighting? They're not at a disadvantage at all."

"I don't recognize them, but judging from their clothes, they seem to be from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy..."

Hearing the chatter of the onlookers, Lan Si lost interest in watching any longer and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, that's enough, we should go." He had no intention of letting his wife be humiliated like a monkey in the street.

Upon hearing Lan Si's words, Zhu Zhuqing slightly bent her palms into claw shapes, her moves suddenly changing. Huo Wu, who had been fighting her to a standstill, quickly fell into a disadvantageous position. Within a few moves, Zhu Zhuqing grabbed her wrists and flung her body away.

Then they returned to Lan Si's side, and together with Ye Lingling, they took Lan Si's arms on either side and strode away.

After Huo Wu was thrown away by Zhu Zhuqing, she only stumbled a few steps after landing because the kitten held back. She was then caught by Huo Wushuang and did not fall to the ground, thus avoiding embarrassment.

"I'm going to kill them." Huo Wu wanted to rush forward again, but Huo Wushuang stopped her.

"Forget it, little sister. They already held back. Besides, even if you caught up, you wouldn't be a match for them." Huo Wushuang sighed, holding his sister tightly. As the saying goes, those involved are often blinded, while onlookers see clearly. In the instant Lan Si shouted, he clearly felt the change in Zhu Zhuqing's hand gestures, and then instantly flung Huo Wu away. This meant that she hadn't used her full strength at all, just as Lan Si had said, she was simply playing around.

"Brother..." Huo Wu's eyes reddened, her pupils filled with resentment. It was one thing for her to lose to Lan Si, after all, Lan Si was hailed as the strongest among the younger generation, but now even Lan Si's little girlfriend had defeated her, which dealt another unbearable blow to her competitive nature.

Huo Wushuang sighed helplessly, "My silly sister, although I hate to admit it, an opponent like this is simply beyond our ability to defeat. If it were Feng Xiaotian, perhaps we would have a better chance. On the other hand, that Zhu Zhuqing, I think you can consider her as your future opponent. Judging from your duel today, I can see that her close combat ability is very strong, and she has a wealth of combat experience. She might be another formidable opponent. We might even meet her in the qualifying rounds. If you really don't want to lose, then work hard. This kind of unreasonable behavior is useless."

"That's right, Huowu, when the final round of the qualifiers starts tomorrow, Lan Si agreed to duel me. I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you then." Feng Xiaotian, who had been teased by Lan Si for being cool for only three seconds, suddenly emerged from the crowd and immediately adopted a sycophantic look, speaking indignantly.

"Get lost! Just seeing you makes me angry. We'll talk after you've actually beaten Lan Si." Huo Wu was furious when Feng Xiaotian suddenly appeared.

Originally, when Feng Xiaotian defeated Tang San and said, "Even the number one weapon spirit in the world is nothing more than a hammer that is slightly more powerful than other spirit spirits before it is attached with spirit rings," Huo Wu's impression of him began to change. But when he saw her, he was truly cool for only three seconds and tough for a second or two. After she tested him a little, he instantly turned into the humble appearance that Lan Si had described.

........

After leaving the Great Soul Arena, Lan Si took his wife and cousin for a stroll, had lunch, and then returned to the hotel. They each went to their own rooms. While nurturing their relationship was important, improving their strength was the most pressing matter. His soul power had already broken through level 47 a month before the Soul Master Competition began, and after a month of intense competition, he was now vaguely approaching the level 48 bottleneck.

With a little more effort, I might be able to raise my soul power to level 48 before the finals. Then, I'd have a much better chance of winning the Soul Master Tournament.

As evening approached, there was a knock on Lan Si's door, and a charming female voice she had never heard before rang out from outside, "Mr. Lan Si, your dinner has arrived."

"Strange? I didn't order dinner." Lan Si slowly opened his eyes, frowned, and his azure fiery eyes instinctively activated, a smile instantly spreading across his lips. He got up and opened the door. Before him stood a stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure.

"Hello, Mr. Lan Si, this is your dinner," the alluring woman said respectfully.

"I don't recall having dinner," Lan Si said with a smile, his eyes darting up and down at the alluring woman without restraint.

"This is a special gift from our hotel. The manager heard about your glorious deeds in the Soul Master Competition and specially ordered me to bring you dinner." Feeling Lan Si's unbridled gaze, the charming woman subtly raised her delicate eyebrows.

"In that case, bring it in. Remember to close the door too." Lan Si turned and went back inside.

"Yes." The alluring woman responded respectfully, biting her red lips, and walked into the room, closing the door behind her.

"Just put it on the table, I'll eat it myself later." Lan Si propped himself up on the bed with both hands, sat down casually, and then pointed to the table next to him.

"Yes." The alluring woman carefully placed the food down, bowed slightly, and stood there without leaving.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Could it be that your manager isn't just here to have you deliver dinner?" Lan Si asked with a wicked smile.

The alluring woman seemed to be confirming the accuracy of Lan Si's words. Her face flushed red, she lowered her head and didn't answer. But the way she clutched her skirt betrayed her; she was practically bursting with rage.

Watching the two girls fight, Lan Si's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Seriously, are all girls' fights this terrifying?

Huo Wushuang walked to Lan Si's side, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Aren't you going to stop them? My sister has undergone professional combat training.

God's Arrival

Huo Wushuang walked to Lan Si's side, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Aren't you going to stop them? My sister has undergone professional combat training.
