Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

Qian Gu Die Ting casually removed the soul power seal.

A moment later, Qian Gu Xing Ci's aura suddenly erupted!

The Big Dipper Yuan Chen Tiger Soul Bone and the Ancient Star Decree have completely merged.

Soul Power Advancement - Level Nineteen!

Han Tianyi's pupils shrank suddenly, her face filled with shock.

He hadn't checked the level in detail before, but he clearly remembered that Qian Gu Xing Ci had only just awakened his martial soul yesterday!

Just one day after awakening, his soul power jumped nine levels?!

Seeing this, Qian Gu Die Ting smiled and explained, "Xing Ci's two souls were actively fused together, which brought him a considerable increase in soul power. Today, he also fused with a soul bone, which is why he has made such progress."

Han Tianyi was still shocked after hearing this, but the explanation did make sense.

Chapter 6: The Changed Timeline, In the Name of the Tower Master

After sending Qian Gu Xing Ci home, Qian Gu Die Ting and Qian Gu Qing Feng, who were waiting at the door, exchanged a glance, then activated their spatial power and disappeared instantly.

Looking in the direction where the two disappeared, a hint of curiosity flashed in Qian Gu Xing Ci's eyes as he raised his hand and pushed open the door to his house.

In the living room, three figures were talking in hushed tones.

Besides Xia Zhengleng, there was a woman in a bright red dress with graceful bearing, and a girl with a cool and quiet temperament.

Qian Gu Xing Ci softly called out, "Mom, Aunt Leng, Gu Yue."

The woman in the red dress, known as Aunt Leng, is none other than Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, a four-word battle armor master, and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

After awakening his martial soul, memories of his past life flooded back like a clear tide. The moment Qian Gu Xing Ci saw the girl clearly, his heart trembled.

Gu Yue!

He quickly sorted through his memories: In this world, Gu Yue was almost a year older than him. The family fabricated by Di Tian and other ferocious beasts had had dealings with Leng Yaozhu in the early years, and after awakening his martial soul, he directly became her disciple.

"Xingci, what are you thinking about?" Leng Yaozhu's gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Nothing, I was just curious about what Dad and the others were up to in such a hurry." Qian Gu Xing Ci regained his composure.

"They've gone to prepare a gift for you," Xia Zheng replied with a cold smile.

When Xia Zheng was young and traveling, she became acquainted with the Leng sisters, and the three of them had a deep friendship. When she married Qian Gu Qingfeng, Leng Yaozhu exclaimed that it was fate.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng Leng felt comfortable revealing their entire plan—including Qian Gu Die Ting, they all planned to make Qian Gu Xing Ci the next tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

Leng Yaozhu already despised schemers like Qian Gu Dongfeng who attempted to annex the Leng family, and Qian Gu Xingci was a child she had watched grow up.

For various reasons, she fully supported this plan.

"Xingci, I heard you awakened twin martial souls, congratulations." Gu Yue's voice was clear and cool, yet gentle.

Qian Gu Xing Ci absentmindedly replied with a "Mm".

His mind had already wandered far away.

He and Gu Yue could be considered childhood sweethearts. But he clearly sensed that Gu Yue's premature appearance was aimed at him.

It seems that it sensed that unfamiliar divine aura, which is why it chose to take human form ahead of schedule.

However, despite taking human form prematurely, she was still Gu Yue after her split personality.

Was it a coincidence that it experienced spatial turbulence like in the original story, or did the Silver Dragon King unleash his extraordinary wisdom?

Lost in thought, Qian Gu Xing Ci did not hear the previous conversation.

"Gu Yue, why don't you spar with Xing Ci?" Leng Yaozhu noticed Xing Ci's soul power level, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and suggested with a smile.

"Teacher, Xingci has only just awakened his martial soul, while I'm already level nineteen," Gu Yue said softly.

Qian Gu Xingci raised his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Gu Yue, my level far exceeds your imagination."

"Fused two souls, level fourteen?" Gu Yue guessed casually.

Qian Gu Xing Ci gently shook his finger, a sly smile on his face: "Completely wrong, just like you, level nineteen."

Gu Yue remained composed, though slightly surprised: Had the top geniuses of this era become so powerful? She had thought she was adding points quickly enough.

She reached out to ruffle Qian Gu Xing Ci's hair, but Qian Gu Xing Ci quickly dodged to the side: "Just talk, why are you touching me?"

“You weren’t like this when you were little,” Gu Yue said softly.

Qian Gu Xing Ci curled his lip: "He's only a year older than me."

Xia Zheng Leng and Leng Yao Zhu looked at the two little ones bickering and smiled at each other.

……

The Spirit Pagoda, 107th floor, the Pagoda Master's office.

Qian Gu Dongfeng, who was usually imposing and held the power of life and death in the Spirit Pagoda, stood frozen in place, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

His shoulders were being held down firmly by two figures.

An immense pressure, as heavy as ten thousand pounds, pressed down from all directions, making him afraid to even breathe heavily.

The two men holding him down were none other than Battle Heaven Douluo Qian Gu Die Ting and Purgatory Douluo Qian Gu Qing Feng.

Qian Gu Dongfeng looked up and met a pair of eyes that were filled with golden divine light and a pair of eyes that were burning with purple flames. The two gazes pressed down heavily, and their power was terrifying.

Seeing the father and son approaching so aggressively, Qian Gu Dongfeng's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Qian Gu Qingfeng's powerful aura suddenly erupted, and his purplish-black soul power spread wildly like a tsunami, carrying a suffocating pressure that made people's hearts palpable.

A single, icy gaze was enough to freeze Qian Gu Dongfeng in place, as if his very soul was being stung—

That's the pressure of a Limit Douluo Quasi-God level expert!

It was far beyond what he, at his demigod level, could contend with!

Qian Gu Dongfeng's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with extreme shock, and he gasped in disbelief:

"Quasi-god? Big brother, you actually broke through to quasi-god?!"

A storm raged within him.

Normally, he would be overjoyed—his father and elder brother were both quasi-gods, and he himself was a demigod. With three limitless beings from the Qian Gu family, two quasi-gods and one demigod, no one could shake the Qian Gu family's rule in the Spirit Pagoda and even their influence throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

But at this moment, he felt no joy whatsoever.

"Dongfeng, tell me the truth, are you really confident in Zhangting's talent?" Qian Gu Dieting's voice was deep and carried an undeniable authority.

"Father, elder brother, so what if it's not enough? The position of Tower Master must not fall into the hands of outsiders!" Qian Gu Dongfeng said unwillingly.

Qian Gu Qing Feng spoke calmly: "What if it's Xing Ci?"

“Brother, Xingci is still young. Even with twin martial souls, he may not be stronger than Zhangting’s single martial soul. There are also issues with his temperament. We might as well wait until he grows up before making a decision. Don’t worry, if Xingci is more suitable then, I will definitely support him.” Qian Gu Dongfeng tried to delay.

"Having subdued the golden-haired lion mastiff, and possessing a top-tier physical martial soul, the Panlong Staff, whose quality surpasses even my father's and is on par with the Panlong Staff, along with its innate domain, is that enough?" Qian Gu Qingfeng's tone was calm, yet every word was like a thunderclap.

Qian Gu Dongfeng was shocked and exclaimed in horror: "Innate Domain, God-level Martial Soul?"

"Very likely," Qian Gu Die Ting replied in a deep voice. "Dong Feng, what do you think?"

The ancient east wind fell silent in an instant.

Qian Gu Qingfeng continued, "Dongfeng, if the situation weren't so special, my father and I wouldn't have come all this way to find you. In the future, Zhangting and Xingci can compete fairly. Given the current circumstances, we still have a chance to sever ties with the Holy Spirit Cult. There's no need to risk dragging the entire family into that insane plan."

As long as Xingci grows up smoothly, Shrek Academy, Yunming, and Long Yeyue will not be a problem.

The atmosphere inside the room was so heavy it was almost frozen.

It's true that Qian Gu Dongfeng is narrow-minded, but he genuinely cares a lot about the future of his family and the Spirit Pagoda.

After a long silence, Qian Gu Dong Feng sighed deeply. "I support your decision. Yes, Zhang Ting's talent is insufficient to shoulder the great responsibility of the tower master. Xing Ci can subdue the unyielding golden lion mastiff spirit and has a martial soul that is suspected to be god-level. His temperament and talent are both top-notch. In the future, we need to resolve the grudges between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy. There is no need to risk the world's condemnation by cooperating with evil soul masters. I will persuade Zhang Ting and will not let him become hostile to Xing Ci."

Without further hesitation, Qian Gu Dongfeng raised his hand, took out his soul-guided communicator, paused slightly, and dialed the hidden number. The call connected, but remained silent for a long time before a hoarse and impatient voice came through: "Qian Gu Dongfeng, what brings you to me? Has the cooperation encountered a setback? Why are you silent?"

A cold glint flashed in Qian Gu Dong Feng's eyes. He feigned ignorance, his tone tinged with astonishment: "You really are the Ghost Emperor?"

The Ghost Emperor on the other end was taken aback by the question, then laughed angrily: "Eternal East Wind, have you gone mad?"

"You're the one who's insane!" Qian Gu Dongfeng suddenly roared, his voice shaking the communicator until it hummed slightly. "As the master of the Spirit Pagoda, how could I possibly cooperate with a bunch of vermin like you? How could your contact information be on my soul-guided communicator? Who on earth dared to store the contact information of this evil soul master leader on my communicator? This is simply courting death! On behalf of the Qian Gu Clan and the Spirit Pagoda, I hereby formally declare—the Spirit Pagoda and the Holy Spirit Cult are locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

Qian Gu Die Ting and Qian Gu Qing Feng, standing to the side, listened to these words, their lips twitching almost imperceptibly. This erudition, drawing on classical allusions, brought the essence of non-stick pans to its extreme, clearly defining the boundaries and stating their position.

Chapter 7 The Intent of the Staff, Becoming a Disciple, Na'er?

One month later.

The tranquility of the training ground behind the Spirit Pagoda was completely shattered, with only the sharp sound of long staffs cutting through the air remaining, deafeningly loud.

Qian Gu Die Ting, dressed in a dark brocade robe, stood with his hands behind his back on the east side of the martial arts arena. His aura was deep and profound, and his gaze was intense, fixed on the young man wielding a long staff in the arena.

At this moment, Qian Gu Xing Ci only had the Panlong Staff in his hand in his eyes, and had entered a state of complete absorption in the world.

In the past few days, Qian Gu Die Ting personally instructed him in practicing the Unyielding Staff Technique.

This staff technique is an ancient family secret, embodying the spirit of an indomitable soul, looking down on heaven and earth, and never bending or breaking. Each move contains the magnificent spirit of using one's own strength to fight against heaven and earth, break the laws, and stand proudly in the sky.

Qian Gu Xing Ci had already displayed his indomitable will when he subdued the golden-haired lion-dog. After receiving careful guidance from Qian Gu Die Ting, the number one master of the Panlong Staff in the world, he had already touched the threshold of the staff's essence in just a few days.

In a moment of enlightenment, the indomitable will of the Ancient Star Words gradually merged with the Panlong Staff, and on the staff, the three eyes of the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul simultaneously shone with brilliant light.

Qian Gu Die Ting watched with great excitement.

The essence of the staff has been achieved!

Unlike his own ferocious staff intent that fought against heaven and earth, the staff intent of Qian Gu Xing Ci carried a supreme and majestic aura that looked down upon the heavens and the stars from above the Emperor Star.

"Excellent, Xingci, you've grasped the essence of the staff in such a short time." Qian Gu Die Ting stroked his beard in admiration.

The biggest difficulty in learning the Unyielding Staff Technique is grasping the essence of the staff. Many family members, including Qian Gu Zhang Ting, are stuck at this stage, while Qian Gu Xing Ci only needs to continuously hone his understanding of the staff's essence.

After the medicinal bath, Qian Gu Xing Ci returned home.

As soon as I entered, I saw that a dining table had already been set up in the living room, and the Three Limits of the Ancient Era were sitting on the side chatting.

His gaze shifted, and he saw Xia Zhengleng talking to a little girl.

Silver hair and silver eyes—these features are too striking.

Xia Zheng smiled gently and said, "Her name is Na'er. She is an orphan that your master, who has never shown his face, found. He was unable to take care of the little girl, so he asked me to adopt her."
