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

"Uncle Ning, please excuse my poor appearance. Thank you for saving my companion." Tang Sanqiang forced a smile and bowed in gratitude.

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and said, "Please don't say that. You are Rongrong's friends. Since Rongrong called you Third Brother, this was just a small favor. Besides, no one expected Lan Si to appear this time. That's why you were caught off guard when you didn't go all out. I believe that as long as you can exert your full strength, you may not lose to Lan Si."

Ning Fengzhi's words undoubtedly gave Tang San a huge psychological comfort. Indeed, he hadn't even used one-tenth of his strength, let alone his full power, before he was defeated. Or rather, the moment Lan Si broke through his three layers of Blue Silver Cage, he knew that the Shrek Academy team had no chance of winning this Soul Battle.

Because Lan Si not only possesses a fourth soul ring of ten thousand years, but the soul power he displays is also higher than all of them. Unless they appear with their strongest lineup, or he breaks the Eight Spider Lances and uses the Bat Wing Reincarnation Hidden Weapon Technique, there is absolutely no hope of victory.

"Little San, do you remember when you asked me about your father?" Ning Fengzhi skipped over the previous topic.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's previously dim eyes lit up with a glimmer of light. "Uncle Ning, have you perhaps discovered something?"

“There’s someone who might know something,” Ning Fengzhi said with a mysterious smile.

............

In contrast to the somber atmosphere on Shrek Academy's side, Lan Si's side was overjoyed. At least Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Sun Buyu felt the same way.

"Ah Si, you're amazing!" As soon as Lan Si returned to the private rest area for the second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Zhu Zhuqing rushed up to him and threw herself into his arms. Ye Lingling followed behind Zhu Zhuqing, giving Lan Si a sweet smile.

Although they already knew of Lan Si's strength, they were still shocked when they saw Lan Si defeat the Shrek Academy team by fighting seven opponents single-handedly without breaking a sweat.

Especially when they saw Tang San use the Blue Silver Cage to trap Lan Si, and then Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Tai Long, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan launched an attack on Lan Si at the same time, the two beauties' hearts were practically in their throats.

Because in that state, facing a Soul Master with a top-tier offensive beast spirit, plus the full-force attacks of four Soul Venerables above level 35, almost no Soul Master could withstand it.

But it wasn't until Dai Mubai and the others fell to the ground that they realized their worries were unnecessary.

Or perhaps they underestimated the power of Lan Si's evolved spirit. Even when trapped, she instantly killed Dai Mubai and his companions with just her first and second spirit skills. Xiao Wu, the only one who managed to escape by teleporting, was also kicked off the arena by Lan Si, who had predicted her teleportation location in advance.

“Hehe, Zhu Qing is right. Although the Shrek team is quite strong, they are still far from being a match for A Si,” Sun Buyu chimed in.

"Alright, the match is over for today. We should head out now." Lan Si smiled and shook his head, not letting the victory go to his head, and skipped over the previous topic.

For him, this was just a warm-up, or even a warm-up. What he really wanted to do was to single-handedly dominate the entire competition and, incidentally, create an opportunity for the kitten to have a one-on-one match with her sister on equal footing.

Soon, Lan Si, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Sun Buyu walked out of the Great Soul Arena, with the original seven members of Team Two following behind them like soldiers.

The moment they stepped out of the Great Soul Arena, a voice caught the attention of the second team on a wide street not far away, "A-Si..."

A luxurious carriage slowly drove up and stopped by the roadside. Through the open window, a young face that bore a resemblance to Emperor Xueye was revealed.

"Ah Si, who is that..." Sun Buyu's voice trembled, clearly recognizing the person who had come. It was none other than Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Lan Si nodded slowly, "Teacher Sun, I'd like to trouble you to take Zhu Qing and Ling Ling to their hotel. Things might get a bit turbulent in Tian Dou City lately. Some academy leaders might try to kill talented students in order to advance their own academy."

He was naturally referring to Shi Nian from the original story, who hunted down Tang San but was ultimately killed by Tang San's Yama's Decree. Now, without the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Tang San can't create the Yama's Decree. However, he's also not as overtly powerful as in the original story. Shi Nian is very likely to focus his attention on his own side.

Although that time has not yet come, it is always good to take precautions.

"You mean Shrek..." Sun Buyu's expression turned angry.

“No, it’s not them. They don’t have that kind of guts.” Lan Si shook his head and turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and the kitten. “Zhuqing, Lingling, Brother Xue might have something to discuss with me. Wait for me to come back.”

Upon hearing this, the two beauties nodded slightly. Although they were shocked by what Lan Si had just said, at least Lan Si's safety was guaranteed as he was by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's side.

Chapter 145 Qian Renxue's Changes

"Xue'er, it's been so long. I missed you so much." As soon as he entered the carriage, Lan Si closed the window, deactivated the Azure Lotus Domain transformation skill, and skillfully tore off Qian Renxue's mask. He then pulled her into his arms and gave her a passionate French kiss.

Three minutes later, Qian Renxue nestled breathlessly in Lan Si's arms, her cheeks flushed. Her soul bone skill had automatically deactivated, restoring her original graceful and perfect figure. She playfully punched Lan Si's chest with her small fist and whispered coquettishly, "You little pervert, when did you become so naughty after all these months?"

"Xue'er, you've changed." Lan Si looked seriously at the beauty in his arms.

"How have I changed?" Qian Renxue was taken aback, a hint of panic flashing in her beautiful eyes.

As their relationship deepened, Qian Renxue gained the approval of the legendary "Heartbreak Red," a top-tier immortal herb, further solidifying their inseparable bond. Qian Renxue gradually realized that she seemed unable to live without this captivating young man.

Sometimes, she even thought that, in order not to put him in a difficult position, she could try to accept Zhu Zhuqing's idea of ​​becoming a concubine.

This would have been absolutely impossible in the past.

Could it be that this young man has already seen through the changes in his own heart?

"You've become even more beautiful," Lan Si said earnestly.

"You're so annoying." Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was taken aback at first, and then her pretty face flushed red. She had actually forgotten that the little man in front of her had a flirtatious skill, which she could never guard against.

“I’m serious. You might not realize it yourself, since you can see yourself in the mirror as soon as you wake up in the morning. But it’s different for me. I haven’t seen you for three months, so I can tell.” Lan Si said firmly, her expression unchanged.

"Really?" Qian Renxue was overjoyed, but she quickly realized something was wrong. Whenever Lan Si asked her for something, he would say sweet words to make her lose herself in the moment. Last time, Lan Si tricked her out of that nearly 5,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear in the same way.

She immediately raised her beautiful eyes and glared at Lan Si, got up from his embrace, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, and said in an annoyed tone, "If you're being so helpful for no reason, you must have ulterior motives. So, what do you want from me this time?"

"Xue'er, how could you doubt my sincerity towards you? I swear, my love for you is as clear as the sun and moon." Lan Si held up three fingers.

“I don’t deny that you are sincere to me, but the part about ‘the sun and moon bear witness’ is debatable.” Qian Renxue straightened her clothes, put her mask back on, activated her soul bone skill, and returned to the image of the gentle and refined Xue Qinghe. Using Xue Qinghe’s voice, she said, “Are you going to talk or not? If you don’t, I’m going to have to talk to you about serious matters.”

Seeing Qian Renxue revert to her male attire, Lan Si lost interest in flirting and instead raised both hands, simultaneously activating the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique. A cone-shaped hammer crackling with blue electric arcs appeared out of thin air in his left hand, while an ice-blue lotus with a pale white flame rising from its surface appeared in his right hand.

"This is..." Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. Of course, she knew that these were Lan Si's two unique martial souls, but this was the first time she had ever seen someone who could use two martial souls at the same time. As far as she knew, a person with twin martial souls could only use one martial soul at a time; to use the other, they had to switch.

Even her unfathomable mother couldn't do that; at most, she could only switch between her Martial Soul True Body and her current form.

However, Lan Si was able to summon two at the same time, which was truly unbelievable.

"My two martial souls," Lan Si said with a smile.

“Of course I know these are your two martial souls. I asked you how you did it. As far as I know, although those who possess twin martial souls are naturally gifted, they can only use one martial soul at a time. They cannot use two at the same time,” Qian Renxue said excitedly.

Lan Si put away both martial souls at the same time, stroked his chin, pretended to think for a moment, and replied, "Hmm. It seems that I could use them at the same time when my martial souls were awakened, but at the time I didn't think it was a big deal. In addition, using two martial souls at the same time would accelerate my soul power consumption, so I never paid attention to it."

He couldn't very well tell the other party that it was because he had cultivated the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique and the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique.

"You can use it when you awaken your martial soul?" Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes brightened noticeably. She looked the young man up and down again and murmured thoughtfully, "It seems you have even stronger talent than that woman."

Lan Si naturally knew who the woman Qian Renxue was talking about was, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he revealed his purpose, "Xue'er, I heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a kind of distraction control technique, which is very useful to me. See if you can help me get it."

“Indeed, that so-called distraction control method might be useless to others, but it’s no exaggeration to say it’s a winning formula for you. But it’s a closely guarded secret of their sect, and that old fox won’t teach it to outsiders.” Qian Renxue’s eyes showed suspicion as she half-jokingly said, “Unless you’re willing to become their son-in-law, I know that old fox Ning Fengzhi would love for you to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.”

"No, no... I don't want to get involved with that spoiled brat." Lan Si felt disgusted just thinking about Ning Rongrong's arrogant attitude.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue finally revealed a satisfied smile. "Then things will be a bit difficult. We definitely won't be able to get the Distraction Control Technique out of Ning Fengzhi, and it's unrealistic to kidnap someone's daughter for such a flimsy incantation. Even if we try to steal it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will always have one of the two titled Douluo, Sword Bone, in charge. Both of them are above level 95, and Uncle She or Porcupine ...

"What's so difficult about that? The so-called secret that's not passed down is simply because the other party hasn't offered enough benefits. If I offer a ten-thousand-year-old head soul bone in exchange, and then reason with him, I guarantee the old guy will hand it over." Lan Si was full of confidence. In the original story, Tang San used a fairy herb to exchange for the Distraction Control Technique. Not only that, he also received strong support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Lan Si would not be foolish enough to give away immortal herbs to the enemy, but soul bones are different, and they are not his own soul bones, but the soul bone on Shi Nian's forehead.

Using it as a bargaining chip is still an option.

Furthermore, Lan Si wasn't worried that Ning Fengzhi would hand over the soul bone to Ning Rongrong before the Soul Master Competition ended, only to use it against him in the Soul Beast Competition. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime"—Ning Fengzhi understood this principle better than anyone. Lan Si clearly remembered that in the original story, Ning Fengzhi had mocked him because the Elephant Armor Sect Master, Huyan Zhen, had given his grandson, Huyan Li, a head soul bone, warning him to be careful that his grandson might be targeted while walking at night.

P.S.: Third update.

Chapter 146 Qian Renxue is destined to become a good wife.

“That’s worth a try.” Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, “But where did you get the head soul bone? You should know that even the Spirit Hall doesn’t have many of these.”

Lan Si smiled and said, "Shi Nian, the team leader of Canghui Academy, happens to have one on his forehead. That old rascal is really wicked. In order to win the competition for his own academy, he often hunts down geniuses from rival academies. I was unsurprisingly targeted by that old rascal as well. Rather than sitting and waiting to be targeted, I might as well take the initiative. I can use his soul bone to exchange for the Distraction Control Technique."

"He truly deserves to die." A murderous glint flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes; anyone who dared to harbor ill intentions towards her little man deserved to die.

She transmitted her voice to the hidden Douluo Cizhu, saying, "Uncle Cixue, go and kill that Shi Nian from Canghui Academy. Take his soul bone. Remember to do it cleanly and efficiently, without leaving any trace. It would be best to make him disappear from this world completely."

"Yes, Young Master." The porcupine douluo hidden in the shadows responded respectfully and then disappeared from the spot.

“I’ve already sent Uncle Ci Xue to retrieve the soul bone,” Qian Renxue said. “Now you should confess honestly.”

"Explain what?" Lan Si asked, puzzled.

"How did you know that Shi Nian had a soul bone?" Qian Renxue paused, then added, "Don't tell me you saw it in a book again. It's barely plausible that the Blue Silver King was mentioned in a book last time, since he existed for so many years. I don't remember any book that recorded how to identify whether someone has a soul bone. Before it's used, even a Title Douluo can't detect a soul bone."

"Can we not say?" Lan Si asked, looking embarrassed. He realized he had inadvertently spoiled the whole thing.

"What do you think?" Qian Renxue stared intently at Lan Si, a dangerous smile playing on her lips.

"Alright then." Lan Si sighed helplessly, and then made up an excuse: "When I awakened the Azure Lotus Martial Soul, the Azure Lotus Domain granted me the ability to open the Azure Fire Eyes, which greatly enhances my dynamic vision. Since I refined the Immortal Herb 'Looking Through Autumn Water Dew,' the Azure Fire Eyes seem to have undergone some kind of evolution. On the basis of enhancing dynamic vision, it has given me the ability to see through illusions, or in layman's terms, X-ray vision."

As he spoke, blue light flashed in Lan Si's eyes, and as the carriage swayed slightly, a pair of bluish-white fire snakes were drawn out.

"So you can tell whether I'm wearing clothes or not." Qian Renxue's shoulders trembled slightly.

"Hmm. That makes sense..." Lan Si subconsciously looked Qian Renxue up and down, and found that although her upper body was blurred due to the effect of the Angel Set Soul Bone, her lower body... Lan Si blushed, and the chirping of crickets immediately filled the air.

"Ah Si, grit your teeth!" Qian Renxue said as she lunged forward. Lan Si's screams immediately echoed from inside the carriage. However, because the carriage was specially designed with excellent sound insulation, outsiders were destined not to hear what was happening inside.

After a while, inside the carriage, Lan Si rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair arm covered in teeth marks. While releasing his Azure Lotus Domain to accelerate the healing of his wounds, he complained, "You're trying to murder your husband, aren't you? When did you get this bad habit of biting people?"

"Then I'll use the Holy Sword next time." Qian Renxue wiped her mouth.

"No, no... my teeth are fine, my teeth are fine," Lan Si said with a forced laugh.

Just then, the carriage slowly came to a stop, and the bells inside the carriage rang.

"We've arrived. Quickly change your black hair appearance and come down with me." Qian Renxue took out the mirror from her soul tool, tidied her appearance, and after confirming that she hadn't given herself away, she put away the mirror and stepped out of the carriage first.

Lan Si released her Azure Lotus Domain and followed closely behind.

The two entered a teahouse. Qian Renxue asked for a private room and sat down. She took a sip of tea and said seriously, "Don't do anything naughty. Ning Fengzhi will be here later."

Upon hearing this, Lan Si suddenly felt bored, said "Oh," and casually found a sofa to sit down.

While waiting, Qian Renxue brought up the Soul Master Competition, saying, "I already know about your performance in the Soul Master Competition. I must say, your decision to refuse Emperor Xueye was a very wise one."

“Of course, I’m not stupid. I know what that means.” Lan Si pursed her lips.

"You're getting all worked up just because I said you're fat. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would doubt you?" Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him.

“Yes, you just doubted me not long ago,” Lan Si nodded.

"Who told you to be so fickle? If it weren't for that little girl from the Zhu family, do you think I would be so suspicious?" Qian Renxue sighed helplessly. "Do you remember the Vast Ocean Universe Cover you mentioned to me when you came back from Notting City last time? You said it was a token of the Sea God, and that you could obtain the Sea God's inheritance with it."

"Of course I remember, but didn't you say that thing is a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, hidden at the bottom of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's treasury, and only Emperor Xue Ye himself can open it?" Lan Si shrugged slightly. To be honest, he wasn't very interested in the so-called Sea God's inheritance.

He's only a first-level god; his potential is far too low. At the very least, he should be a god-king.
