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

At this moment, Qian Renxue also realized what was happening and hurriedly spoke up to stop him, "Grandpa, no!"

But Qian Daoliu showed no sign of stopping. Helpless, Qian Renxue had to step forward to defend Lan Si herself, but Lan Si stopped her, saying, "Xue'er, don't. Your grandfather is just testing me."

"Am I right? Grand...Grandpa?" A faint voice echoed in the Douluo Hall. Lan Si raised his handsome face, his body trembling slightly, and struggled to stand up again. He looked at Qian Daoliu's tall and imposing figure and said solemnly.

"Hmph. Let's hold on for now." Qian Daoliu snorted coldly and increased his soul power output again. He gained another level, reaching level fifty-six.

Lan Si frowned, not daring to be careless. He withstood the pressure of Qian Daoliu's soul power. A pale purple halo appeared behind him, and eight pale purple, semi-transparent spider spears were released, piercing the ground and supporting Lan Si's body. Lan Si felt much better, his whole body relaxed, and he regained his original composure.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she gained a deeper understanding of her boyfriend's physical strength.

But Qian Daoliu didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He continued to increase his soul power output.

When Lan Si reached level fifty-nine, she could no longer hold on. She looked up at the sky and let out a painful roar, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Grandpa, no..." Qian Renxue's voice trembled as she tried to step forward several times, but was stopped by Lan Si's eyes.

Qian Daoliu showed no sign of stopping, raising his soul power to level sixty. Even the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances couldn't withstand it. With a crack, the four spider spears supporting Lan Si's center of gravity snapped. He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

"Ah Si..." Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue could no longer care about anything else and was about to rush forward.

Just then, lightning suddenly surged from Lan Si's body, and he grasped a black hammer with a brilliant golden spiral pattern inlaid on its surface.

"Drink..." Lan Si shouted, gripping the Haotian Bamboo Shoot with both hands and slamming it to the ground.

Chapter 217 Meeting Qian Daoliu

boom......

With a deafening roar, the golden soul power released by Qian Daoliu was instantly blasted away, and the ground, forged from a special material, caved in and shattered in a spider-like pattern. Looking at Lan Si, he stood in the shallow pit, still in his hammer-wielding stance, lightning crackling around him, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue's red lips parted slightly, marveling at Lan Si's terrifying physique and destructive power. It should be known that the materials used to forge the Douluo Palace were extraordinary; it was made from the world's hardest material, deep-sea silver, fused with various robust metal components.

Even a true Soul Emperor might not be able to damage it, but Lan Si did, and even cracked the hardest ground, creating a shallow pit. How could she not be shocked?

Rebirth in the Great Era of Surfing Waves

Qian Daoliu, having turned around at some point, looked at Lan Si with a solemn expression, or rather, at the Haotian Bamboo Shoot in Lan Si's hand and the enormous fire lotus enveloping him. He said with considerable emotion, "You are actually able to use two martial souls at the same time."

“Yes. You can use them simultaneously right after awakening your martial soul. Is that strange?” Lan Si shrugged slightly, looking at Qian Renxue with some surprise, thinking to himself, it seems that Xue’er doesn’t tell her grandfather everything about her secrets.

"Of course, it's already quite difficult for anyone with twin martial souls to release both martial souls at the same time. Moreover, in that situation, the two martial souls can only be used for display and do not have any offensive power. They can only be effective by switching between them. Even Xue'er's mother could only switch between martial soul forms at most. But you can actually use two martial souls at the same time, and you seem to be able to do so with ease. It seems that your talent is even greater than Xue'er's mother's."

Qian Daoliu smiled faintly and casually asked, "Xue'er told me that your mother comes from the Nine Heart Begonia Clan, and your father comes from the Clear Sky Sect. Your two martial souls are mutations of the Nine Heart Begonia and the Clear Sky Hammer. So, your two martial souls must have names, right? Can you tell me what they are called?"

"Azure Lotus and Haotian Bamboo Shoots." Lan Si looked at the Haotian Bamboo Shoots in his left hand, then at the Azure Lotus in his right hand, put them away, and released the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone technique, 'Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, Spring Breeze Brings Life Again,' to heal his injuries, while speaking calmly.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle. She stepped forward to support Lan Si and said with a smile, "A Si, the Azure Lotus Martial Soul is barely acceptable, but what the heck is Haotian Bamboo Shoot? What kind of strange name is that? Although your hammer does look somewhat like a bamboo shoot."

Qian Daoliu's lips twitched slightly. "The moment you release your Martial Soul, accompanied by lightning comparable to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, I think... let's call it Thor's Hammer. It can break through my soul power, enough to deserve the title of 'God.' As for your first Martial Soul, among the Martial Soul owners recorded in the Spirit Hall, there isn't one as powerful as you, possessing both extreme fire and extreme ice attributes, and also accompanied by a talent domain. You'd better choose a new name."

Lan Si nodded slightly, recalling the giant blue lotus rooted on the bronze-green plate in that dark space. He thought of the Azure Emperor in the novel "Covering the Sky" that he had read in his previous life—"Body as root and stem, heart as flower, a lotus in the eternal blue sky."

"I think we should call it the Chaos Green Lotus."

Qian Daoliu smiled calmly and said, "Chaos Green Lotus, what a fine name."

"So, Grandpa, do I pass your test?" Lan Si asked with a smile.

"You weren't just about to call me an old man, an old thing, or an old guy, were you?" Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes.

"How could that be? You're Xue'er's grandfather, so you're my grandfather too. I'm more than happy to respect you," Lan Si said with a forced smile.

Qian Daoliu waved his hand: "Forget it, as long as you don't let me hear it. Considering that you thought of Xue'er the first thing when I released my aura to suppress you, you barely passed in terms of responsibility."

"Then thank you very much, Grandpa," Lan Si nodded.

"Don't rush to call me grandpa. What I just said was about responsibility, a man's responsibility." A sly smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's lips.

"What else is there besides taking responsibility?" Lan Si's lips twitched. He had a feeling that the old guy in front of him didn't have any good intentions.

"Xue'er's talent is unprecedented. Not only does she possess the Six-Winged Angel, a divine-level martial soul of my Qian family, but her innate soul power has also reached an unprecedented level of twenty. She can be said to be the most promising existence in the world to break through to level one hundred. To marry her, having the responsibility of a man is only the most basic requirement. Talent and strength are both indispensable," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"Isn't the talent and strength I've shown at my age enough?" Lan Si frowned.

"Your talent is sufficient for now, but as for your strength... I heard that besides Xue'er, you've also hooked up with a young girl from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire. Two years ago, you even made an eight-year agreement with Xue'er, and six years later, you will challenge her. Is that true?" Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes as he finished speaking.

"Grandpa." Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately became anxious. Needless to say, this must have been something that Serpent Spear had told on her.

"Xue'er, don't speak now. I'm asking him a question," Qian Daoliu said seriously.

“Yes, I met Zhu Qing before I met Xue’er. She risked everything for me, leaving the Zhu family and the Star Luo Empire. I could never abandon her. Besides, she and Xue’er are both my beloveds. I will never abandon either of them.” Lan Si nodded emphatically and said solemnly.

"So you came up with this eight-year agreement? I know Xue'er's talent better than you do. With the two immortal herbs you gave her, it's not impossible for her to become a Title Douluo within six years. Xue'er's Soul Saint realm is already comparable to an ordinary Title Douluo. And once she becomes a Title Douluo, she will definitely become a top-tier existence. Even if that kid Tang Hao uses his Ring Explosion technique, he might not be able to do anything to Xue'er."

If I'm not mistaken, this so-called agreement is just a stopgap measure for you.

You're stalling for time, letting Xue'er gradually accept the existence of that little girl from the Zhu family.

Or perhaps Xue'er has already begun to accept it. Otherwise, given her proud personality, she would definitely have put a sword to your neck immediately, or even killed that little girl named Zhu Zhuqing. His eyes flickered slightly as Qian Daoliu spoke calmly. No one understands a man better than a man. How could Lan Si's little schemes possibly escape the notice of this old man who had lived for over a hundred years?

"You really can see through anything. That's right, just as you said, I won't give up on either Xue'er or Zhu Qing." Lan Si admitted frankly.

"What if I insist that you choose?" A cold glint flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

Chapter 218 Thor's Hammer and the Chaos Lotus

Hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but look at Lan Si, feeling both expectant and apprehensive about his answer. On one hand, she hoped Lan Si would give her the answer she wanted to hear; on the other hand, she worried that Lan Si might do something foolish and go against her grandfather.

After all, the wrath of a level 99 peerless Douluo is not so easy to bear.

"Unless I die, I will never abandon anyone," Lan Si said calmly.

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Qian Daoliu said, somewhat annoyed.

Lan Si shook her head: "It's not that I don't dare, it's that I don't know how."

"Why?" Qian Daoliu asked subconsciously.

Lan Si's lips curled up slightly, forming a strange arc, and he said, "Because Xue'er has been mine for more than a month. You can't possibly let Xue'er live a life of widowhood."

“You…” Qian Daoliu’s face turned bright red. He flashed and instantly moved to Qian Renxue’s side, grabbed her wrist, and probed into it with his soul power.

The next second, his old face turned pale and then purple. How many years had it been since he had lost his composure like this? Even when his son was killed, he had never lost his composure like this.

The only time he did this was when Poseidon rejected him.

This brat actually ruined his granddaughter's life.

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

Meanwhile, in the Papal Palace, in the council chamber.

As always, Bibi Dong sat on the Pope's throne, her delicate hand supporting her cheek, reminiscing about her warm little home and the beautiful memories she shared with the boy in her dreams.

With a creak, the door opened, and Hu Liena walked in. She squatted down three meters away from the throne, gave Bibi Dong a graceful bow, and said respectfully, "Teacher, according to the news from the Douluo Palace, half an hour ago, Sister Xue'er took Lan Si to Douluo Mountain."

"Is that so? Then send someone down the mountain to wait for them. Bring them directly to me when they come down." Bibi Dong said calmly without opening her eyes.

"Yes." Hu Liena replied respectfully. Instead of sending someone, she went herself. She was also very curious about what kind of person this genius who had repeatedly accomplished the feat of taking on seven opponents at once and overpowering the five major elemental academies in the Heaven Dou Empire competition was.

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

By the time Lan Si and Qian Renxue emerged from the Douluo Palace, it was already noon.

Qian Renxue took Lan Si's arm with one hand and reached into Lan Si's waist with the other. After feeling around for a while, she finally found a piece of tender flesh and twisted it hard. Lan Si immediately cried out in pain, "Xue'er, are you trying to murder your husband?"

The First Evolution

"Hmph, it's all your fault. How could you say such embarrassing things in front of my grandfather?" Qian Renxue said coquettishly, her pretty face flushed.

"There was no other way at the time. If I hadn't said that, that old man would have given me some trouble again," Lan Si said with a sheepish smile.

"Who are you calling an old man? If you keep being so disrespectful, I'll tell my grandpa." As she spoke, Qian Renxue made a move to turn around and return to the Douluo Palace.

"Don't answer, don't answer... Otherwise, if that old man... oh no, if our grandpa finds out, I'll be in big trouble. I'll change it, but if I call him 'old bastard' again, you can slap me." Lan Si hurriedly hugged Qian Renxue from behind and gently persuaded her.

"Alright, then tell me the truth. Is what you told my grandfather true? Is that eight-year agreement... really just a way to buy me time?" Qian Renxue took a deep breath and asked solemnly.

Lan Si's smile faded, and she said seriously, "Not entirely. When I was thinking about that eight-year agreement, I didn't consider that you would take the immortal herb. If you hadn't taken the immortal herb, I would still be confident. After all, no matter how powerful you are, you can't cultivate anytime, anywhere like I can."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue didn't refute it, because without the immortal herbs, her cultivation time was pitifully short, and she simply couldn't have broken through to the Soul Saint realm so quickly. And given Lan Si's current cultivation speed, it wasn't impossible for him to advance to the Soul Saint realm in six years. Given similar soul power, almost no one could defeat her little boyfriend.

She continued, "What if you lose?"

"Then I'll get you pregnant beforehand. That will render you incapable of fighting. And then we'll win without a fight." Lan Si kissed Qian Renxue on the cheek, then quickly walked down Douluo Mountain.

Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed red instantly. She stood there stunned for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, Lan Si was already far away. She stomped her foot in exasperation and quickly followed. Today, she was going to teach this womanizer a lesson.

At the foot of the mountain, Qian Renxue stopped in her tracks. She saw her boyfriend chatting with a familiar, beautiful figure.

This was a girl with a near-perfect figure, appearing to be around twenty years old. She had a stunningly beautiful face and short, blond hair adorned with fox-ear-shaped hair accessories. She gave off a wolf-like aura, seemingly radiating an unusual charm that was aggressive towards men, making them feel an irresistible urge to pounce on her.

She is Hu Liena, the only woman among the three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and the only disciple of Pope Bibi Dong.

A few minutes ago.

Lan Si came down from Douluo Mountain ahead of time. As soon as he stepped off the mountain, he bumped into Hu Liena, who had been waiting for him at the mountain gate and was sitting cross-legged on the stone steps cultivating. Originally, he intended to ignore her, but as expected, she called out to him.

"Stop right there! Who are you? Why did you come down from Mount Douluo?" Because Serpent Spear Douluo always sent messages to Bibi Dong in the form of envelopes, and Lan Si rarely showed his true face to outsiders, Hu Liena was unaware that Lan Si's appearance had changed drastically due to the evolution of his martial soul.

She only thought the man with the rare ice-blue long hair in front of her was very handsome, nothing more.

"May I ask who you are?" Lan Si bowed respectfully, looked Hu Liena up and down, and began to guess her identity in his heart.

"Your Excellency?!" Hu Liena was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing. "You're quite amusing. This is the first time I've ever heard you greet someone like that. Alright, tell me, why did you come down from Mount Douluo?"

As she spoke, Hu Liena subconsciously used her charm on Lan Si, trying to get the truth out of him.

Faced with Hu Liena's allure, Lan Si remained calm and composed. His powerful spiritual energy focused in his eyes, directly reflecting her charm back. At this moment, without her saying a word, he knew who she was. Who else could possess such allure but that vixen?

"Lan Si," Lan Si replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena frowned, marveling at Lan Si's powerful mental strength. She mimicked Lan Si's previous tone and said warily, "You must be joking, right? I've seen Lan Si's portrait. He doesn't look like you at all. This is Wuhun City, and it's the most heavily guarded Douluo Mountain. If I call for help, a large number of soul masters will come to arrest you immediately."
