Demonic Demoness Training Project

Never before had she felt such a strong sense of crisis. Lu Li was so close to her, so close that they shared the same body, but Lu Ling felt that Lu Li was drifting away from her little by little—drifting further and further away, until she couldn't even catch her.

Starting tomorrow, she will practice diligently.

Huang Jing's divine sense might be impressive in the lower realms, but it's gradually becoming insufficient in the middle realms. Not long ago, even Grandma Duan's divine sense broke through to the Huang realm.

"Isn't there any way to quickly improve one's divine sense?"

Suddenly, a pair of jade feet appeared in Lu Ling's eyes. They were Duan Xuanyuan's jade feet. The old lady had discovered this place at some point and found Lu Ling sulking.

"When did you get here?"

"Just arrived, huh?"

Duan Xuanyuan glanced at the projected image in front of him. Lu Li was talking to Mu Qingque, chatting about this and that, and the two were having a very pleasant conversation.

Although Duan Xuanyuan had changed into a young girl's body, he was still an old and shrewd man. He saw through Lu Ling's thoughts at a glance and devised a plan.

"Oh, speaking of improving one's spiritual power, there really is such a thing. Have you heard of [Soul Battle]?"

Lu Ling had been to the Xuan Shu Tian many times in her daily life, so she naturally knew what the Soul Battle that Duan Xuanyuan mentioned was.

Soul Fighting, also known as Divine Soul Battle, is a special form of combat in the heavens.

Any cultivator who participates in the Soul Battle will enter a special Great Disparity Heaven called Soul Battle Movement. The Heaven will match cultivators of similar realms together, and here, artifacts and cultivation realms become meaningless.

When people are at similar levels of spiritual power, the main factor in determining strength is skill—the skill in using spiritual power.

Cultivators hone their divine senses through soul battles. Some sects even hold regional soul battle tournaments, which are highly entertaining and attract many cultivators to watch.

Not only do sects receive a cut from ticket prices, but cultivators who win the tournament also receive rewards from the organizers.

"Grandma, do you mean I should participate in the Soul Battle?"

"That's right, we can team up. Anyway, you're pretty idle most of the time besides manipulating the puppet formations, so why not give it a try? If we win the prize, we can earn some extra money for your sister, right?"

Duan Xuanyuan's words were extremely tempting, especially for Lu Ling, who was currently overwhelmed with a sense of crisis, making it impossible for her to refuse.

"Then, I'll ask my sister first."

"Hey, why are you asking your sister about this? Just pretend you're going to the Heavenly Realm to read some stories, then come fight alongside me. When you win the rewards, give your sister a big surprise."

"A big surprise..."

"When your sister sees your rapid progress in the Soul Dao realm and the spirit stone rewards you've won, she'll definitely admire you greatly. Then, you can take your sister with you to fight in Soul Battles. In reality, she'll be the one leading you, but on the Soul Battle battlefield, you'll be the one leading your sister to rampage through the enemy lines. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Gulp... But I think it's better to talk to my sister about this."

"Don't you understand? Your sister wants you to be independent. If you can't even make decisions about this kind of thing, how can you help your sister? Do you really have the heart to watch your sister run around all her life?"

These words deeply stung Lu Ling's heart.

She was unwilling to accept this. She had to work hard in her cultivation and achieve results. Only in this way could she snatch the deer pear back from the shameless woman.

"Alright, I'll go! I'm determined to become a master of Soul Fighting!"

"Hey, that's more like it."

"But there's another problem. My sister is currently hiding from her enemies. If I show my face in Xuantian, what if I cause her trouble?"

"You don't need to worry about that at all, because many cultivators have the same concerns as you. Soul Fighting Cave Heaven is a cave heaven created after the fall of an ancient great power. As long as you enter it, your identity can be guaranteed to be absolutely safe. You will never know whether the person standing in front of you is an unknown rogue cultivator or an elder from a mid-level sect."

Chapter 351 Lu Ling, the Genius Soul Fighting Girl

After finishing the baked snow pear, Lu Li and Mu Qingque ordered some more food. For the first time ever, Lu Li drank some spirit wine, and the two of them became slightly tipsy.

His words began to drift off into rambling.

Lu Ling's dissatisfaction reached its peak. She glanced at Lu Li one last time, then glared at the shameless woman. Finally, she made up her mind and connected with Duan Xuanyuan to the Xuan Shu Tian.

The two changed into different suits, each paid a deposit of three hundred spirit stones, and then entered the so-called Soul Fighting Cave.

This was Lu Ling's first time here, and she found that it seemed no different from the usual Xuan Shu Tian. The square was crowded with people, and advertisements for various private schools could be seen everywhere.

Of course, this is the Soul Fighting Cave, so the schools here naturally provide guidance on Soul Fighting.

"Come on, let me take you to practice first, and see if you are suitable for the path of Soul Fighting."

"Is there any explanation for this?"

"Of course, talent is especially important in soul combat. It has nothing to do with realm. Some people are born with a special talent in this area and have extremely strong control over their divine sense, even if their realm is not high."

Duan Xuanyuan explained casually, recalling the past when Qingyang Palace had also tried to establish its own Soul Fighting Hall, specifically selecting a group of disciples to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament.

Duan Xuanyuan was one of the selected disciples. Although the cultivation level of that group of disciples was generally only grade C, due to the rules of the Soul Fighting Cave, the opponents they were matched with were also grade C.

Later, her spiritual realm improved to Grade B, and the opponents she was matched with also became Grade B. However, due to the poor signal of the Upper Heaven Pavilion of Qingyang Palace, the game would lag every now and then.

This is why the disciples of Qingyang Palace are often defeated by the mid-level disciples.

The investment and effort were disproportionate, and the successive setbacks wore down the patience of the Qingyang Palace's higher-ups. In the end, the Qingyang Palace gave up its plan to advance into the Soul Fighting Cave, and the Soul Fighting Hall was disbanded as a result.

She didn't achieve much in the Contra fight genre, but she was still very clear about the basic rules.

Duan Xuanyuan also had his own purpose in wanting to participate in the Soul Battle. Lu Li wanted to refine a Six-Turn Body for her, and the body had to match the soul, so the difference in their realms could not be too great.

The reason for bringing Lu Ling along is quite simple: the battle of souls is mainly three-on-three, and if it's randomly matched, we don't know what kind of teammates we'll get.

Thinking of this, the young girl Duan Xuanyuan said in a mature and sophisticated manner:

"Back in our day, we didn't have the same conditions as you. We didn't need to go to any Heavenly Pavilion to connect to the Disparate Heaven, and the signal was so good... Oh, we've arrived."

The girl suddenly stopped. In front of her was a small pavilion with a signboard that read "Testing Pavilion" in large characters.

"Go in..."

As soon as Lu Ling stepped inside, she discovered that Duan Xuanyuan had disappeared, and there was only emptiness around her. At this moment, Duan Xuanyuan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Next, arrows will be shot at you. The speed will depend on your spiritual realm. You are currently in the early stage of the Yellow Realm, so these arrows will be very fast. You should try your best to dodge them."

"Oh……"

Lu Ling nodded silently. Just as she was talking to Duan Xuanyuan, a chill suddenly came from behind her.

Whoosh!

Lu Ling hurriedly turned her head, and a bluish-gray arrow magnified in her pupils, striking her squarely between the eyebrows.

The imagined pain did not come, but a number appeared in the upper left corner of my vision—[One].

"So you've started counting now."

Lu Ling dared not be careless and quickly got into the zone. Soon, another arrow shot from the side front of her field of vision. Lu Ling slightly shifted her body and easily dodged it.

This time, the number in the corner of the field of vision did not increase.

At this moment, a sudden realization dawned on Lu Ling.

Not only can the arrows be seen, but they can also be heard. By the time you subconsciously turn your head to look, it's already too late. In fact, cultivators can perceive all directions with their divine sense.

As soon as you hear a sound, or sense it with your divine sense, you should prepare to dodge.

Whoosh whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, more and more arrows came from all directions, with shorter and shorter intervals and increasingly tricky directions. Lu Ling was occasionally hit. After an unknown amount of time, no more arrows appeared, and the number in the corner of Lu Ling's vision finally settled on "thirteen".

Duan Xuanyuan reappeared and, upon seeing the numbers above Lu Ling's head, his eyes widened in surprise.

Let alone me, to achieve such a result on the first test, I'm afraid even those mid-tier specially trained soul fighting geniuses can't compare.

Duan Xuanyuan didn't consider himself a genius in Soul Fighting, but he was knowledgeable about the industry and knew what the standards were.

How exactly were these two siblings raised? Do their parents know? It's such a waste of their talents to keep them in the lower classes.

Duan Xuanyuan's expression was uncertain, while Lu Ling looked puzzled but intrigued, and tentatively asked:

"Grandma, isn't this a good result?"

"Well, it's just so-so."

Duan Xuanyuan said one thing and meant another. She failed to discipline Lu Li, but could she not discipline her sister? While Lu Ling was still naive, she needed to give her a good scolding so that she could be controlled in the future.

"Oh."

Lu Ling lowered her head, feeling somewhat disappointed upon hearing the result. Duan Xuanyuan, realizing he had gone too far in his criticism and worried that Lu Ling might give up, comforted her further:

"Ah, but if you train diligently afterward, you might be able to make a breakthrough, as long as you listen to what I say."

"Really?"

"Of course. Since I'm guiding you in participating in the battle of souls, what should you call me?"

"Master!"

"That's right."

The scene before her was just like it had always been, and Duan Xuanyuan felt somewhat dazed. She had previously taken in three disciples, two of whom were utterly rebellious and had nearly cost her her life back then in order to get Lu Li to call her "Master."

In contrast, Lu Ling is confused due to amnesia, and the kindness she shows during this period is obviously much easier to control.

"Good scout, one day you will become your sister's pride. That's all for now, there are still a few tests to go, let's continue."

"it is good!"

Thinking of Lu Li's proud and whiny manner, Lu Ling felt overjoyed. She waved her little pink fist, just like Lu Li's, ready to meet the challenge ahead.

……

Meanwhile, in reality, in the restaurant of Shuiyue City.

Lu Li squinted her eyes, rubbed her lower abdomen with great satisfaction, and couldn't help but burp.

Mu Qingque ordered two servings of baked snow pear. Lu Li ate one and a half bowls, and now even her burps are sweet.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"At midnight, the nightlife is just beginning. Why rush back? Let's have some more fun."

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him," and tonight, Lu Li had consumed at least 20,000 spirit stones from Mu Qingque. When the other party suggested that they go for another stroll, she naturally couldn't refuse.

So where do we go next?

"Elbow, Mo Xiaowan, let me show you something good."

"Great news, it's a new mechanical device!"

Mu Qingque chuckled, revealing a meaningful expression.

"Even more exciting than the new cyborgs!"

Chapter 343 The Metamorphosis of the Puppet - Part One: The Chronicle of the Puppet Ancestor

"More exciting than the new mechanical device?"

"You're here, you'll know once you come to see me."

Lu Li was puzzled, but with Mu Qingque pulling her along, she left the restaurant and ran wildly along the main street on the stone slabs, finally stopping in front of a building called "Red Dust Courtyard".

The Red Dust Courtyard was built underground, with spiritual energy lamps extending along both sides of the walls into the depths of the earth. Especially when she saw the large characters "Red Dust" on the plaque, and recalled Mu Qingque's earlier words that it was "more exciting than the new puppet," Lu Li suddenly had some unpleasant associations.

Lu Li suddenly felt a tightness in her scalp.

"Red" likely refers to a pink skull, and "dust" likely refers to a woman of the night or something similar.

"Is this...is this place legitimate? No, what kind of place is this? I'm not going in!"

"There's always a first time, come on in and you'll see."

"Miss Mu, please have some self-respect! Miss Mu, please don't want it!"

"Come on, come on, let's go inside and have a look. I've already booked a room at the Sky Tower."

"No, no, that's not necessary."

Just then, a beautifully dressed maid came out with a fawning smile on her face.

"Have you two made an appointment?"

"Oh, I've already made a reservation. I think the room is called Pillow Moon Residence."

"Third basement level, gentlemen, please come in."

If I had known earlier, I would have... even if I had become a girl.

Led by the maid and pulled along by Mu Qingque, Lu Li felt that something was off about the atmosphere, as if it wasn't what she expected. Strange noises were coming from the two private rooms from time to time.
