Chapter 174 The Preliminaries End

————————Anti-theft Chapter————————

After listening to Ning Rongrong's account, Ning Fengzhi felt even more exhausted, because he couldn't hear a single word from her that Tang Ritian was interested in his daughter. On the contrary, it seemed that his daughter was in a one-sided love affair with him.

He sighed and skipped the previous topic: "Let's continue talking about what you experienced at Shrek Academy."

Ning Rongrong said "Oh," and then continued, "After that, we went to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy... Blue Tyrant Academy... Third Brother was captured by the Old Poisoner... Immortal Herb..."

After Ning Rongrong's long narration, which lasted for half an incense stick's time, Ning Fengzhi finally grasped the key point. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he exclaimed, "Rongrong, is what you're saying true? The Qiluo Tulip can really cause the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve?"

Ning Rongrong said, "That's what Third Brother said. And I've also taken the immortal herb, and it really does have great benefits for Soul Masters. I can feel that when I meditate, the speed at which my Soul Power circulates is a little faster than before."

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo grasped Ning Rongrong's hand. After a moment, his originally gloomy expression softened considerably, and he excitedly said, "Feng Zhi, Rongrong is right. Her soul power has not shown any signs of weakness. It seems that the so-called immortal herb is indeed effective."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi finally felt relieved. "Rongrong, give me the characteristics of the immortal herbs you recorded. I will mobilize the entire intelligence network of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to search for them. The same goes for Tang Ritian. If the immortal herbs in Dugu Bo's herb garden were indeed stolen by him..."

"Dad, please don't make things difficult for them," Ning Rongrong said anxiously.

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I can't bear to make my precious daughter sad."

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

Nearly half a month later, Ye Lingling returned to school.

Instead of going to find the members of the Royal Fighting Team, she went to Lan Si's residence, skillfully took out the spare key from her soul tool, opened the door, and carefully walked up to the second floor. Today, she was going to give Lan Si a surprise.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Lan Si and Zhu Zhuqing, who had just finished a day's cultivation mission, were having a water fight in the bathroom and taking a bath together.

In the huge bathtub, Zhu Zhuqing was already blushing and her cheeks were flushed red from Lan Si's actions.

"Ah Si, don't touch it. It's just been washed."

"It's okay, I'll help you wash it later."

"No, I don't believe it, or you'll do something naughty again." As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing broke free from Lan Si's embrace, got up, grabbed a bath towel, wrapped it around herself, and ran out of the bathroom.

How could Lan Si possibly let her go? He abandoned his bath towel and chased after her, tearing the towel off her body.

Just as Lan Si was carrying Zhu Zhuqing, preparing to go up to the room to perform, the door creaked open and Ye Lingling's familiar figure came into view.

Lan Si, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling exchanged awkward glances, their eyes downcast and their minds blank. An uncomfortable atmosphere immediately arose, and Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling even let out a startled scream, "Ah..."

After a while, Lan Si dressed neatly and came downstairs, while Zhu Zhuqing stayed upstairs because she was shy. At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor, Ye Lingling had already brewed tea and was sipping it lightly, seemingly indifferent to the awkward scene that had just occurred.

But from his flustered eyes, Lan Si could tell that his heart was not as calm as he had imagined.

Lan Si sat down opposite Ye Lingling, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and changed the subject, saying, "Lingling, you're back. Have you figured out the situation of your martial soul?"

"Hmm." Ye Lingling put down her teacup and said softly, "Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Nine Heart Begonia also has its own superior martial soul, called Sacred Heart Begonia. It is said that ten thousand years ago, an ancestor had a second awakening of his martial soul by chance."

"During that period, the flaw of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul being passed down to only one person in each generation was temporarily resolved. His two children awakened the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul at the same time. It's just a pity that his children were born before his Martial Soul awakened for the second time. They did not inherit his Martial Soul. After that ancestor passed away, the flaw reappeared."

Lan Si nodded and shared his guess: "Perhaps it's because this martial soul is quite special. Just like the Blue Silver Emperor, the king of Blue Silver Grass that I mentioned to you before, only when the previous generation dies can the next generation appear. But your Sacred Heart Begonia martial soul is the opposite. Only when the owner of the Sacred Heart Begonia martial soul exists can the flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia be eliminated."

“That must be it. That’s what my dad said too.” Ye Lingling nodded slightly in agreement.

The room fell silent again, and the two were once again caught in an awkward atmosphere.

"Ah Si, just now..." Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed red, and her gaze was somewhat evasive.

Lan Si interrupted her, "By the way, I still don't know what your Sacred Heart Begonia's ability is!"

Ye Lingling quickly said, "Its healing ability has doubled, and it also has the effect of removing all negative statuses of Soul Masters, including poisoning, burning, paralysis, dizziness, weakness, and so on. Moreover, like you, it has awakened a talent domain, which I call the Sacred Heart Domain."

"The effect of the domain is to increase the attack power of our own Soul Masters by 10% and decrease the attack power of the enemy Soul Masters by 10%. The range of the domain will increase as my strength increases."

"I have just acquired my fourth spirit ring, and my spirit power has reached level 42. My domain can cover a radius of 20 meters. If I release it towards a specific location, it should be able to reach 50 meters, but in that case, the domain range will be greatly reduced, to less than 100 square meters."

Lan Si nodded and said, "You're already very strong. In less than ten years, Ning Fengzhi's title as the number one support-type Soul Master in the world should be handed over to someone else. However, before we grow up, don't tell anyone about the secret of your Martial Soul except for me and Zhu Qing, otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that Ning Fengzhi won't do something to you in secret."

“I’ve met Sect Leader Ning before, he shouldn’t be that kind of person, right?” Ye Lingling said with some surprise.

Lan Si shook his head. "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Someone who has been in a high position for so long is not simple. He is gentle and always gives people a good impression, but that's only if you don't pose a threat to him. Believe me, if he knew about your martial soul's abilities right now, he would immediately send someone to assassinate you."

"Because you have threatened the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's position as the leading support-type Soul Master. People like Ning Fengzhi value the so-called title of the number one support-type Soul Master in the world more than anything else. I think your father must have given you similar advice."

Ye Lingling suddenly realized, "Dad did tell me not to tell anyone other than you about the evolution of my martial soul."

At the same time, he looked at Lan Si again with some surprise. He found that he could no longer understand this handsome, talented, and somewhat lustful cousin who was also attracted to his older cousin's body. He had never met Ning Fengzhi, yet he could analyze human nature so thoroughly.

Chapter 175 Comforting the First Wife

"You're so unserious." Qian Renxue blushed and glared at Lan Si. She swirled the wine in her glass as she said, "While you were getting your food, Uncle She sent a message through the telepathic connection: Shrek Academy defeated Thunder Academy and won the final round, tying with Blazing Academy in win rate. In the end, Emperor Xueye decided to make an exception and allow Blazing Academy and Shrek Academy to advance together with a tie for fifth place."

"It was expected. Tang San has already revealed his twin martial souls. If he still can't win against Thunder Academy, he might as well be dead." Lan Si smiled faintly, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"And what about you? Will you reveal your twin martial souls? The Spirit Hall team is no pushover. The Golden Generation has three Soul Kings who possess agility, control, and power attack abilities, and they also have martial soul fusion skills. In addition, there are four Soul Masters above level 45. Even you would face considerable pressure dealing with them." Qian Renxue cut a small piece of steak, handed it to Lan Si, and asked with interest.

"I never said I was a person." Lan Si opened her mouth and took the steak.

"You mean Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling?" A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. "Indeed, after consuming the immortal herbs, their potential, talent, and even strength have surpassed their peers. But that doesn't seem enough. Xie Yue and Hu Liena from the Golden Generation, after unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, are strong enough to rival some powerful Soul Emperors. Once you're entangled with the two of them, you won't be able to protect them at all. Especially Ye Lingling, she's a support-type Soul Master with no offensive power, making her the easiest target. Zhu Zhuqing alone simply can't stop anyone other than Xie Yue and Hu Liena. This will put you in a very passive situation."

"You seem quite expectant of me defeating the Spirit Hall team." Lan Si took Qian Renxue's hand, and the latter gently swirled her wine glass before naturally rising and sitting in Lan Si's lap.

"Of course, you're my man. If I don't want you, you little pervert, to win, who else would I want to win?" Qian Renxue stretched out her slender white finger and poked Lan Si's forehead in annoyance.

Lan Si held Qian Renxue's delicate hand and kissed it. "Is it really just because of this?"

"If not this, then what is it?" Qian Renxue lowered her head, avoiding Lan Si's gaze, a hint of self-mockery and a faint sadness flashing in her eyes.

“If that were the case, then you would have sent me to the Spirit Hall instead of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.” Lan Si raised his hand and gently pinched Qian Renxue’s chin, making her look at him. He said solemnly, “Xue’er, some things, if kept in your heart for too long, can easily make you sick. When the time is right, you can find someone to confide in. In the past, it was fine because you were alone, but now it’s different. You have me by your side.”

"You really can hide anything from me." Qian Renxue sighed softly, put down her wine glass, nestled her pretty face against Lan Si's chest, and recounted her childhood experiences.

Lan Si remained silent throughout, simply listening quietly.

Qian Renxue raised her head and asked, "A-Si, do you think there are such heartless mothers in this world?" Her eyes were already red as she spoke.

As the saying goes, "Don't advise someone to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering," and this applies to both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Therefore, Lan Si wouldn't say anything irresponsible to Qian Renxue, such as "your mother might also have her own hardships," but instead pressed her head against his chest. He simply held her like that, without saying a word.

Lan Si knew that what Qian Renxue needed most right now was someone to rely on and someone to depend on.

After a while, perhaps because she had cried, Qian Renxue felt much better. She wiped away her tears and said with red eyes, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Lan Si shook her head, gently wiping away the tears that had slid down Qian Renxue's beautiful face, and said softly, "It's good that you cried. No matter what happens, I hope you can remember that I will always stay by your side."

"Mmm." Qian Renxue nodded slowly, closed her beautiful eyes, and nestled her pretty face into Lan Si's arms again, feeling a sense of peace in her heart.

"When does your grandfather plan to see me?" Lan Si gently patted Qian Renxue's back, skipping over the previous topic.

"The finals will be held in Wuhun City. I will lead the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Guard as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to escort the participating teams to the Wuhun Hall. Once we arrive in Wuhun City, I will take you to see him," Qian Renxue replied after a moment's thought.

Lan Si nodded and said, "Yes. When the team sets off, I need to go back to Notting City to see Uncle Otto. After that, I'm afraid I won't be returning to the Heaven Dou Empire for a long time."

His visit to Uncle Otto was only one reason; his real purpose was to search for the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone in the cave where Ah Yin was located in the mountains near Holy Soul Village. Tang Ritian wouldn't carry something so important with him; he would definitely keep it with Ah Yin.

Lan Si vaguely remembered that the cave in the original story was located under a waterfall that was a hundred meters high. With a target in mind, and with the help of her blue fiery eyes' ability to see through things, finding it wouldn't be difficult.

Lan Si didn't go before because she was worried about running into Tang Hao. But there's no need to worry during the finals, because Tang Ritian will be secretly following him during that time, protecting his son Tang San, who has been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon.

"What are you planning to do?" Qian Renxue asked, somewhat reluctant to part with him. She hoped that Lan Si could stay with her in Tiandou City until the mission was completed.

Lan Si said, "Regarding training, I once read about it in an ancient book. In the far west of the continent, there is a place called the City of Slaughter. It is a paradise for the fallen. You can only enter but not leave. To get out, you must pass through the Hell Road. Once you come out, you can obtain the most precious domain-type skills, which can greatly enhance the combat power of a Soul Master."

“The City of Slaughter…” Qian Renxue frowned. Although she had never been there, that woman had. It was no exaggeration to call it a true hell. Even her grandfather was terrified of it. So for many years, while using it as a cage for evil soul masters, he had always turned a blind eye to it.

"Can we not go? It's very dangerous there. Once you're inside, even the Spirit Hall won't be able to get you out." Qian Renxue pleaded.

"Xue'er, if I can't even break through the City of Slaughter, how can I be worthy of you, the pride of the Spirit Hall?" Lan Si gently stroked Qian Renxue's pretty face and said firmly.

"Then I'll wait for you, two years. If you haven't recovered by then, I will do everything in my power to rescue you." Qian Renxue declared this boldly.

"Don't worry, it won't take two years. Maybe I'll be out in a year," Lan Si said confidently.

P.S.: First update. Please vote for me! Please give me monthly tickets!

Chapter 176 The Question from My Cousin

If Lan obtains the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, he is confident that he can recover within a year, or even less.

Because it is easy to get injured in the Hell Slaughter Competition in the Slaughter City, the time spent recovering is usually the longest. With the powerful healing skill of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows and it grows again", then the time he spends recovering is almost negligible.

When I'm in good form, participating in one game every day isn't a big problem.

In addition, the Azure Lotus Domain has a bug-like passive skill that is quite useless in the outside world, but is considered a god-like skill in the City of Slaughter—it can use soul skills without using soul rings.

Qian Renxue curled her lip, "Look at you, so capable. That woman back then had twin martial souls just like you. But it took her several years to recover. However..."

She paused slightly, then said earnestly, "I believe in you. Because in my eyes, you are better than anyone else, including that woman."

Upon hearing this, Lan Si smiled without saying a word, but did not deny it. A flash of blue light appeared in his hand, and a huge blueprint appeared out of thin air. Skipping over the previous topic, he said, "Take a look and see if you can help me find someone to build this. With this, my safety should be better guaranteed when I enter the City of Slaughter."

Qian Renxue took the blueprint, unfolded it, and looked at it. Seeing that it was filled with parts of different sizes and odd shapes, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. "What is this?"

"You'll find out when the time comes. All you need to do is find someone to build it for me." Lan Si revealed a mysterious smile and instructed, "Remember to find several blacksmiths, the higher the material, the better, and it's best to find several blacksmiths, each blacksmith can be responsible for making no more than five parts."

"So mysterious. Fine, don't tell me then." Qian Renxue pouted, but still agreed. Her beautiful eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something, and she hesitated before saying, "By the way, Zhu Qing, what are you planning to do? You're not planning to take her to the City of Slaughter too, are you? I suggest you don't do that. Just because you have the strength to get out doesn't mean she can. And letting her go alone to train is even more dangerous, because after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament ends, her affair with you will definitely be known to the Star Luo Royal Family. At that time, she will face endless pursuit from the entire Star Luo Empire."

Lan Si shook his head with a wry smile, "Of course I know, so I'd like to ask you for another favor."

"You want to arrange for her to cultivate in my Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue asked with a surprised look.

Lan nodded emphatically.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill her?" Qian Renxue asked with a hint of mockery.
