Douluo Continent: Inheriting the power to destroy life, the supreme Blue Silver Grass

Chapter 26 Discussing Dao with Xue Qinghe, Using Martial Soul Combat Techniques

Xue Qinghe's seemingly flawless explanation was nothing more than a mutual appreciation between combat enthusiasts who couldn't resist the urge to try their hand at fighting and wanted to become friends.

With the help of the wide black robe, Xue Qinghe could not see Chen's expression clearly.

Chu Chen smiled leisurely and extended his hand, saying, "How could I refuse Your Highness's invitation?"

"Haha, Brother Destruction, it's nice to meet you."

Xue Qinghe extended his hand and shook hands with Chu Chen.

The two then left the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena together. Chu Chen looked at Xue Qinghe walking ahead of him and thought to himself, "Is this Qian Renxue truly interested in combat skills, or is she trying to recruit me because she sees my ruthless methods?"

After some thought, Chu Chen still didn't know the answer.

"His ability to come to the Great Soul Arena to observe the deathmatch... aside from interest, it is likely to be to discover talent and then control it for his own use."

"This acquaintance must also have some useful value."

He understood Qian Renxue's personality; she naturally had a desire to recruit strong individuals, as she enjoyed the feeling of being in control.

Just like her future attitude towards Tang San, she tried to recruit Tang San multiple times, and was even influenced by her extreme desire to conquer him. In other words, Qian Renxue liked to control geniuses.

Chu Chen would not be controlled by her.

But we can take full advantage of Qian Renxue's mindset!

For Chu Chen, being able to befriend the latter was a good thing.

"Your Highness, it's so late. Don't you need to return to the palace? I think if Your Highness were to disappear for a night, the royal family would be in chaos."

After leaving the Soul Arena, Chu Chen turned to Xue Qinghe beside him and spoke.

Xue Qinghe was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Brother Destruction, do you not consider me a friend? When Qinghe is with friends in private, I have never regarded myself as the Crown Prince."

"No, it's just that I'm not used to being friends with the crown prince of the same country. Since that's the case, Brother Qinghe, if you have nothing urgent to attend to when you return to the palace, how about we discuss these combat techniques together?"

Chu Chen laughed heartily, and the two of them left Tian Dou City together, finding a secluded place where no one was around at night. If they were to discuss the Dao here, they would not be disturbed by others.

"Just now, I saw that Brother Destruction did not use any soul skills during the battle, but only relied on such fierce and ruthless fighting techniques. Could this also be the path that Brother Destruction is following?"

The two sat on the ground, and Xue Qinghe was the first to bring it up.

"It was just a last resort." Chu Chen shook his head, his voice sounding somewhat melancholy.

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Xue Qinghe looked over curiously.

"Brother Qinghe should know that my martial soul is nothing more than Blue Silver Grass. Even if I cultivate to the Soul Master realm, the effect of Blue Silver Grass will be negligible."

Chu Chen feigned helplessness and said, "That's why I practiced combat skills so hard, just to make up for the deficiencies in my martial soul."

Xue Qinghe remained silent for a moment.

Blue Silver Grass?

He was well aware of the disadvantages of having a Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Even if an ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul was lucky enough to cultivate, its disadvantages would become more and more obvious as its level increased.

At that point, Blue Silver Grass will be in an awkward situation. In battles with others, this disadvantage will be magnified infinitely, ultimately leading to its death.

"Blue Silver Grass... Although it is considered a useless martial soul by everyone, this seemingly fragile yet resilient little life is quite extraordinary."

Xue Qinghe smiled, stood up and said, "Brother Destruction, would you be willing to instruct me in combat techniques?"

"What Qinghe inherited was the Swan Martial Soul of the royal family, which is more about healing and purification skills. As the crown prince, I face danger at all times, so I have wanted to make up for the defects of my Martial Soul with a skill since I was a child."

He laughed and said, "Brother Destruction, in this respect, you and I are quite similar."

"Then, Brother Qinghe, please."

Chu Chen stood up and gestured for Xue Qinghe to make a move. Although both of them were bragging, their intense desire to spar was genuine. After a brief standoff, they began to fight.

……

Dawn broke.

Chu Chen and Xue Qinghe lay on the ground without caring about their image, when suddenly someone laughed and said, "That's great!"

Xue Qinghe stood up, reached out and pulled Chu Chen, who was lying on the ground, to his feet. He said to the latter, "Brother Destruction, it was a great pleasure to discuss the Dao with you last night. I must return to the palace and must take my leave now."

"Farewell, Brother Qinghe," Chu Chen said.

He also gained a lot from the discussion that night. When they were engrossed in it, neither of them cared about the other's identity, but only about the Dao, and they were willing to give their all.

Xue Qinghe's understanding of combat techniques and the application of martial spirits is indeed unique.

"We've discussed the Dao all night, and we should both have gained something, but I haven't even seen Brother Destruction's true face. Could it be that he's wary of me?" Xue Qinghe walked up to Chu Chen and smiled gently.

"We're brothers now, what else is there to say?"

Chu Chen laughed heartily, put his arm around Xue Qinghe's neck, and then took off his hat.

The brief contact allowed Chu Chen to feel the softness of Xue Qinghe's body, which was different from that of a man, but he didn't mind. Instead, he patted Xue Qinghe's back generously and said loudly.

"Brother Qinghe, then see you next time!"

Xue Qinghe wasn't angry. When he looked up and saw Chu Chen's flawless face, he was momentarily stunned.

He nodded with a smile and slowly turned around.

Having taken only a few steps, Xue Qinghe suddenly said, "Brother Destruction, our meeting is fate, but is this fate manifest or hidden?"

Chu Chen laughed nonchalantly, "It means to conceal... or hide."

"Hidden...so? Interesting." Xue Qinghe's eyes sparkled, and he left satisfied.

Chu Chen strode towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

……

After Xue Qinghe left, two figures appeared beside him. One of them asked in a deep voice, "Young Master, should we investigate this person's identity?"

"How could the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul be cultivated to the Soul Master realm? There must be something strange about it."

Xue Qinghe's face turned cold, and he frowned, saying, "No need. Brother Destruction and I are bosom friends, and our friendship is sincere. The two elders need not interfere. He may have secrets, but so do I."

"After discussing the Dao with him all night, I have gained a sudden understanding of combat techniques and the use of martial spirits. He is not simple. Without my permission, you two elders should know what to do."

At this moment, Chu Chen was walking slowly towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, facing the rising sun. Before long, he saw the gate of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and outside the gate, a beautiful figure was gazing into the distance, as if she was looking forward to something.

Her gaze turned over and met Chu Chen's.

Even from a great distance, Chu Chen could see the joy in the latter's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile and walk away.

As they drew nearer, Chu Chen finally spoke: "What are you waiting here for? Were you waiting for me?"

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at Chu Chen: "Who else can I wait for? Let's go, I'll take you inside."

With Ye Lingling leading the way, Chu Chen encountered no further obstacles. As the two walked side by side, Ye Lingling suddenly said, "Um...have you met my uncle before?"

"You know?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

"That day... I saw him. He didn't say anything strange to you, did he?" Ye Lingling asked nervously. Because of her nervousness, she subconsciously twirled her hair with her slender fingers.

"Uncle Ye thanked me for saving you back then," Chu Chen said, recounting his conversation with Uncle Ye.

However, he omitted the fact that Uncle Ye wanted his help to help Ye Lingling get over her inner conflict. If he had just said that, Ye Lingling would definitely have reacted negatively, so it was clear that this couldn't be rushed.

"I see... I was worried he might say something strange."

Ye Lingling chose to believe Chu Chen, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, she had brought Chu Chen to the training ground where the Royal Fighting Team usually trained. Dugu Yan and the other six turned their gazes over, and Yu Tianheng, who was in the lead, had a flash of hostility in his eyes when he saw Chu Chen.

"Although Teacher Qin has allowed you to join our Royal Fighting Team, it doesn't mean that we approve of you."

Yu Tianheng stepped forward, looked at Chu Chen, and spoke.

Ye Lingling frowned slightly, her expression returning to its previous coldness. She wanted to speak, but Chu Chen interrupted her with a look.

"I don't need your approval yet," Chu Chen said casually.

"you!"

Yu Tianheng's eyes blazed with anger, and he was about to explode when Dugu Yan interrupted him.

Dugu Yan was perceptive and knew that Chu Chen and Ye Lingling had a special relationship. If they continued to make things difficult for Chu Chen, it would definitely upset Ye Lingling. Therefore, she promptly defused the tense atmosphere.

"Chu Chen, Teacher Qin has something to do today, so he can't come here for the time being. He agreed to let you join, so we naturally agree as well."

Dugu Yan changed the subject: "We heard from Lingling that you have become a Soul Master. After all, our Royal Fighting Team does not accept unqualified people."

"If you can withstand my Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom, we will acknowledge you, how about it?"

With Dugu Yan's help, Ye Lingling's expression softened a bit, but she still felt that it was inappropriate for them to make things difficult for Chu Chen. However, since Chu Chen had given her a hint, she didn't say anything more.

"Blue-scaled snake venom? Come on."

Chu Chen nodded slightly, signaling Dugu Yan to proceed with her action.

Dugu Yan didn't stand on ceremony. A bright green light shone from behind her, followed by a dense green gas spreading around her. Then, the shadow of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent appeared behind her.

Under her control, the highly venomous Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom enveloped Chu Chen, completely enveloping him.

Ye Lingling watched this scene nervously. She knew about Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake venom; it was extremely poisonous, and she was worried that Chu Chen would be injured because of it…

"The venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent is not something you can easily withstand, even if you are a Soul Master," Yu Tianheng sneered.

Within that emerald green, highly toxic gas, a faint blue-gold light shone forth. After lasting for about thirty seconds, Dugu Yan withdrew her soul power.

After all, it was just a friendly sparring match...

Her Azure Phosphorus Serpent Venom could kill even a Soul Master if they weren't careful. Her current Soul Power has reached Level 38, which is not far from the Soul Master level!

"That's about it. Look at Lingling's nervous expression. I've never seen her look like this before."

Dugu Yan said helplessly, then withdrew the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom. But before she could completely withdraw the venom, she saw Chu Chen walk out of it unharmed.

He was surrounded by a faint blue-gold light, which seemed soft but contained extremely strong resilience.

The mysterious light enveloped Chu Chen completely.

But the venom of the blue-phosphorus snake had absolutely no effect on him!
