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

It was unwilling to accept this fate and wanted to escape. If it could escape, it could rely on its devouring talent, which surpassed that of the human-faced demon spider, to eat some soul beasts smaller than itself. Given time, it would surely recover to its peak and then come back to take revenge on this weak human.

"What a cunning fellow! But do you think he can escape like this?" Lan Si sneered. Without hesitation, he put away the Haotian Bamboo Shoot, recalled the green lotus that was still floating in the air, lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped onto the green lotus pedestal, and controlled the green lotus to fly rapidly towards the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider.

The two pursued and fled deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest, closing the distance between them. During this time, Lan Si fired his semi-automatic pistol more than once, but although the Soul Devouring Spider's speed was greatly reduced due to having only four legs, its agility and perception were still at their peak. Driven by a strong will to survive, it managed to dodge Lan Si's bullets one by one.

However, Lan Si was not discouraged, because the distance between the two sides was gradually closing at a visible speed.

One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters... getting closer and closer.

When they were less than twenty meters apart, Lan Si's body trembled violently. He suddenly sensed a chilling aura that was terrifying and came from the depths of his soul, as if he would die on the spot if he continued to pursue them any further.

Lan Si looked ahead, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Five hundred meters away, he saw a blonde woman sitting cross-legged beside a giant soul beast. The beast was yellow, purple, and black, and five soul rings were shimmering with brilliant light. A sixth black soul ring slowly appeared, and it seemed to be absorbing the sixth soul ring.

He was certain that the danger did not come from the Soul-Devouring Spider, nor from the blonde woman. From a distance, the blonde woman's clothing and appearance did not resemble those of a commoner at all, but rather those of a noblewoman. Therefore, there was only one possibility: it was someone hiding in the shadows protecting the blonde woman.

Should we leave? Or continue the pursuit?

If he left, he wouldn't be willing to let go of such a good soul ring, and the blonde woman might think that he was the one who drove the Soul-Devouring Spider to her side, intending to harm her. In a fit of rage, she might even order her subordinates to hunt him down.

If he continued to pursue, he might be attacked by the blonde woman's subordinates again. The blonde woman was already a Soul Emperor, so the person protecting her must have a higher soul power than her, at least a Soul Saint, or even a Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo.

Moreover, given that she possessed such strength at this time, Lan Si could roughly guess who the blonde woman was.

For a moment, Lan was caught in a huge dilemma.

Did I forget to check the almanac before going out today? First, I encountered a kitten being chased by a big cat, and I had to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.

Then I ran into a mysterious woman. Holy crap... is it really true that being cool only lasts for three seconds?

At the same time that Lan Si discovered the blonde woman, the Soul-Devouring Spider also discovered her.

However, compared to Lan Si, who was secretly groaning, the Soul-Devouring Spider was much more excited. It sensed a powerful yet repulsive aura within the blonde woman's body. Its instincts told it that if it could devour this human woman, it would definitely gain an unprecedented boost, perhaps even recover from its injuries and directly advance its cultivation to the level of ten thousand years.

Taking a deep breath, just as Lan Si was filled with surprise and doubt, a phantom of an angel, nearly three meters tall, suddenly appeared behind the blonde woman. The angel had two wings on its back, and its appearance was otherworldly. A sacred and noble golden aura radiated from it, and Lan Si suddenly felt as if his soul had been purified. (ps: A six-winged angel initially has two wings; a Soul Saint has four wings; only a Title Douluo can grow six wings.)

Seeing this, Lan Si could confirm that the person in front of her was Qian Renxue.

P.S.: Second update

Chapter Twenty-Five: Bad Luck, Bad Luck...

Without hesitation, Lan Si activated the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique simultaneously. His body was enveloped in a bluish-white aura, with lightning surging around him. He instantly increased his speed to the limit, leaped off the Azure Lotus Platform, summoned the Haotian Bamboo Shoot Martial Soul, and rushed after the Soul Devouring Demon Spider.

It moved so fast that it left a series of afterimages in the air.

Qian Renxue is a proud woman, but also a controlling and self-serving one. She's willing to abandon even a loyal Title Douluo elder if the benefits are high enough. She's ruthless in achieving her goals, even setting aside the murder of her father. She's patient, decisive, and never rushes things, preferring the safest and most secure methods to reach her objectives.

That's the case, at least for now.

This time, he not only chased and drove a Soul-Devouring Spider to his front, but also saw the opponent's Angelic Martial Soul.

If you want to survive, you have to show enough value, which means revealing your twin martial souls.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to get through this hurdle.

Hidden in the shadows, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo were also startled by what they saw.

Lan Si not only drove the Soul-Devouring Spider to the place where her young master was absorbing the Soul Ring, but also saw the young master's Martial Soul.

They originally planned to kill the Soul-Devouring Spider and Lan Si together, but changed their minds after seeing Lan Si summon her second martial soul.

"Serpent Spear, am I seeing things? It's actually a twin martial soul, the same twin martial soul as His Holiness the Pope," the porcupine exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes, no wonder a mere second-ring, level 30 Great Soul Master could so thoroughly defeat this Soul-Devouring Spider that's over two thousand years old. And judging by the momentum, the hammer flashing with lightning in that young man's hand doesn't seem to be weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer, which is hailed as the number one weapon spirit in the world." Serpent Spear nodded heavily, his face full of solemnity.

"Should we kill him or not?" The porcupine swallowed hard.

"Let the young master make the decision. She's about to wake up. If such a genius can't be ours, we must destroy her." A ruthless glint flashed in Serpent Spear's eyes.

"We'll listen to you. Besides, this kid seems to be trying to prevent the Soul-Devouring Spider from harming the young master, which is why he exposed his twin martial souls. As long as he doesn't get close to the young master, we won't make a move." The porcupine nodded in agreement.

As the two were talking, Lan Si had already caught up with the Soul-Devouring Spider. Haotian Bamboo Shoot was thrown from his left hand at an extremely tricky angle, bringing with it a long, narrow silver lightning bolt. It struck the Soul-Devouring Spider's head heavily from the side, sending its entire massive body flying. It spun several times in the air before finally crashing to the ground.

Lan Si gave the Soul-Devouring Spider no chance to catch its breath. He raised his hand to recall the Haotian Bamboo Shoot, leaped up, gripped his hammer with both hands, and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Soul-Devouring Spider. A moment later, the Soul-Devouring Spider was lifeless, and specks of pale purple light began to condense above its body, eventually transforming into a purple soul ring.

With the Soul-Devouring Spider dead, Lan Si breathed a slight sigh of relief, absorbed his martial soul into his body, and turned his gaze to Qian Renxue, who was a hundred meters away.

After a soul beast dies, its soul ring can remain for one hour. As long as it absorbs energy within one hour, it will not dissipate.

Lan Si did not rush to absorb the soul ring formed by the Soul Devouring Spider. Although his physical condition was not too bad, it was not good either. Frequent use of his two martial souls had depleted most of his physical strength, and his soul power was almost exhausted. If he rashly absorbed the soul ring of the most evil and violent soul beast, the Soul Devouring Spider, he would have to withstand the impact of such violent energy. If his body or will could not hold on, it could very likely cause a fatal backlash.

Most importantly, not far away, there is Qian Renxue, a ticking time bomb.

It's fair to say that his life was practically in their hands.

Immediately, Lan Si pretended to wait, and during this time, if a soul beast approached, he would release his Azure Lotus Martial Soul to drive it away.

After about half an incense stick's time, the golden aura around Qian Renxue gradually subsided, and the sixth black soul ring was fully formed. She slowly opened her eyes, and her powerful spiritual energy immediately made her notice Lan Si beside the pit a hundred meters away.

His handsome face, fair skin, slender figure, and smooth, black, tousled hair gave Qian Renxue a fairly good first impression of him.

However, Qian Renxue could not tolerate that someone dared to approach her while she was absorbing a spirit ring.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to question the two Title Douluos, Snake Spear and Porcupine, who were protecting her, Snake Spear's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Young Master, you're awake..." He used the technique of creating a line of sound, which only advanced Soul Masters could use, to tell her the whole story from beginning to end.

When she heard Lan Si chase the Soul-Devouring Spider to her, she was furious. But when she heard that Lan Si had revealed his twin martial souls and killed the Soul-Devouring Spider, she was surprised. When she learned that Lan Si had not left after killing the Soul-Devouring Spider, but instead stayed around to protect her and drive away any soul beasts that tried to approach, Qian Renxue felt a warm current in her heart. She had not felt this kind of care for more than ten years.

The Great Luo of All Worlds

"So this kid has twin martial souls?" Qian Renxue asked the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine in a sharp, enigmatic voice.

“Yes, young master. His first spirit ring is a blue lotus flower, and his second spirit is a strangely shaped hammer. I estimated that the quality and strength of that hammer are definitely no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer. He looks to be just over twelve years old, but his spirit power has reached level thirty. With these two spirits, he chased a Soul Devouring Spider that was over two thousand years old all the way to your side. He can be said to be a true genius. Even our Spirit Hall's three Golden Generation members are much inferior to him at his age,” Serpent Spear replied.

"Originally, my subordinate and I planned to kill him directly, because he not only drove the Soul-Devouring Spider over, but also saw Miss's martial soul. However, after learning that the boy has twin martial souls, we did not make a decision on our own. In the end, we decided to let you, Young Master, make the decision," said the porcupine.

"You did a great job. I'll explain it to Grandpa later." Qian Renxue's pretty face showed a satisfied smile as she slowly walked towards Lan Si.

Seeing Qian Renxue approach, Lan Si finally got a close look at her appearance.

She appeared to be around twenty years old, with snow-white skin, a straight nose, and delicate phoenix eyes, possessing a stunningly beautiful face with a touch of imposing authority. She wore a long, golden palace-style dress, a one-piece garment seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive embellishment, its style simple yet elegant. A golden stand-up collar protected her long, slender, white neck, and her long, golden hair was casually draped down her back, uncombed. This contrasted sharply with her impeccably tailored palace attire.

P.S.: Third update

Chapter Twenty-Six: A-Si and Xiao-Xue

Upon seeing Qian Renxue approach, Lan Si immediately displayed the flustered expression typical of her age. She paused slightly, a hint of shyness on her face, then stammered, "Um...Miss, hello, my name is Lan Si...Just now...I'm sorry, just now because..."

Seeing Lan Si's flustered and panicked appearance, Qian Renxue looked Lan Si up and down again. A hint of smugness flashed through her mind. She covered her red lips with her jade hand, chuckled, and pointed to the Soul-Devouring Spider that was already dead in the pit. She said with a smile, "You mean to say that you were chasing this Soul-Devouring Spider and accidentally drove it to the place where I was absorbing the Soul Ring, almost disturbing me, right?"

Qian Renxue was quite confident in her appearance. She believed that, apart from that woman, no other woman could compare to her. As for Lan Si, he was just a young man experiencing his first love. It was not surprising that he showed a shy and flustered expression after seeing his own beauty.

"That's exactly what I meant. I'm really sorry." Lan Si stood upright, bowed slightly, and did not get up.

Seeing Lan Si's 'sincere' apology, Qian Renxue's beautiful face subtly curved into a smile as she nodded and said, "You didn't do it on purpose, and the Soul-Devouring Spider didn't harm me. Besides, you even protected me while I was absorbing the Soul Ring. Let's consider this matter settled."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue walked to the side of the Soul-Devouring Spider and casually asked, "Your name is Lan Si, right? If I'm not mistaken, your soul power has reached level 30. You're planning to use the soul ring formed by absorbing this Soul-Devouring Spider, aren't you?"

"Yes." Lan Si nodded slowly and stood next to Qian Renxue.

"I advise you not to do this. I admit you are very powerful to kill it with your level 30 strength, but this soul beast is already over two thousand years old, between two thousand and two thousand five hundred years old. This is far beyond the lifespan that a third soul ring can withstand. If you rashly absorb it, you will be burst by the enormous energy within its soul ring." Qian Renxue sighed and advised.

After learning that Lan Si possessed twin martial souls, and having made a good impression on her, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her talent. If she could, she wouldn't want this genius with twin martial souls to die young.

“I know,” Lan Si said solemnly.

"Then why are you still..." Qian Renxue frowned her beautiful eyebrows, but before she could finish speaking, Lan Si said, "I know you mean well, but in my opinion, danger and opportunity often go hand in hand, and the limit of that third soul ring is only applicable to ordinary people."

"I have read quite a few theories about Soul Masters absorbing Soul Rings. In my opinion, the maximum age of Soul Rings that a Soul Master can absorb is related to the strength of the Soul Master's physical constitution. The stronger the constitution, the longer the Soul Ring age that can be absorbed. This is why the age of Soul Rings that can be absorbed increases with the increase of cultivation level, because your physical constitution is constantly enhanced with the improvement of Soul Power."

"From a young age, I have always attached great importance to tempering my physique. My first spirit ring is a Crimson Feather Eagle that is 410 to 430 years old, and my second spirit ring is a Shadow Beast that is 900 years old. These are all beyond the limits known in the spirit master world, so I am confident."

Qian Renxue nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask again, "Who is your teacher?"

"Myself," Lan Si said with a smile.

"Pah, if you don't want to say, then don't. I don't care to know anyway." Qian Renxue was also unusually relaxed and pouted.

"After all this talk, I still don't know your name? I can't keep calling you 'Miss'!" Lan Si looked up at the darkening night, sat cross-legged beside the corpse of the Soul-Devouring Spider, and asked Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Leng Xue." She gave a pseudonym.

"Leng Xue?" Lan Si raised an eyebrow imperceptibly, then smiled and said, "It suits you very well."

"Why?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"You're so beautiful, with skin as white as snow, and you're also very aloof. Leng Xue, Leng Xue, isn't that you?" Lan Si smiled.

"You're quite an interesting fellow." Qian Renxue's lips curled into a smile, then her expression suddenly sharpened, and she said in a deep voice, "You really intend to absorb this soul ring?"

Lan Si nodded slowly.

"Aren't you worried that I'll harm you while you're absorbing the soul ring?" Qian Renxue looked at Lan Si, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Soul Devouring Spider, preparing to absorb the soul ring.

"To say I'm not worried would be impossible, but I'm just a minor quasi-Soul Venerable, while you're a Soul Emperor. If you wanted to kill me, you could easily annihilate me with a single ten-thousand-year Soul Skill. Besides, I've already apologized, and you've forgiven me. You don't seem like the type to kill innocent people indiscriminately. You won't attack me unless there's a conflict." Lan Si shrugged.

笔趣阁

"That's hard to say. What if you've misjudged me?" Qian Renxue covered her red lips with her jade hand, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

"Then I can only accept my bad luck. I can't beat them in a fight, and I can't escape either." Lan Si said helplessly.

"Alright then, you win. Before you absorb the spirit ring, I want to ask you one last question," Qian Renxue said.

"Go ahead and ask, it's not like it's a matter of life and death." Lan Si pouted.

"Don't be ungrateful. I wanted to ask where you live, so that if you get burst by the Soul-Devouring Spider's soul ring, I can call your parents to collect your body." Qian Renxue glared at Lan Si in annoyance.

"You can rest assured about that. My parents have long since passed away. But if you want to know about my background, just go to Notting City, a thousand miles to the northwest, to inquire. Anyway, it's nothing shameful." As he spoke, Lan Si closed his eyes, activated the Supreme Qiankun Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, and began to absorb the soul ring.

He spoke casually, but in reality, he was quite uncertain. Facing a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider that was over two thousand years old, or even two to five hundred years old, it would be a lie to say he was 100% confident. However, since Tang San in the original story was able to absorb a Human-Faced Demon Spider that was over two thousand years old with just the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and he possessed two top-tier techniques that complemented each other, if he still couldn't do it, then he might as well be dead. How could he talk about becoming stronger? How could he talk about being invincible at the level he could reach?

Seeing Lan Si enter a state of cultivation to absorb the soul ring, Qian Renxue's smile gradually faded. After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke, her ethereal and melodious voice giving people a strange feeling of being cleansed.

"Come out."

As the girl's voice faded, two dark figures, one fat and one thin, suddenly and strangely appeared from a large tree behind her. These two figures were none other than the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo, who were secretly protecting Qian Renxue.
