Chapter 48: I'm Not Picky!
In the secret room of the First Prince's Mansion, after three hours, Qian Renxue fully converted her Dou Qi into the "Yuxue Jue" Dou Qi!
"Phew!"
A bright yellow flame bloomed in her hand. She gazed at it, slightly dazed.
A trace of light power mingled with the fire-attributed Dou Qi. Was this the technique her teacher tailored for her?
After breaking through to Fighter, she believed she could rival a Soul Master!
Now, with the technique mastered, she felt she could not only match but dominate a Soul Master!
Even against the War Soul Sect, one of the top three sects, she could hold her own!
With soul power and skills, even a Soul King wouldn't faze her!
"Level 40!"
Feeling her soul power, surprise flashed in her eyes.
Though Su Yu said the technique would boost soul power alongside Dou Qi, she didn't expect such immediate results!
Mastering "Yuxue Jue" broke her through two levels instantly!
Over the past year, following Su Yu's teachings, she focused on Dou Qi, neglecting soul power!
She often used soul power as fodder for Dou Qi, letting it nibble away!
Thanks to daily medicinal baths, her soul power didn't regress and even rose one level—from 37 to 38!
Now, it surged to 40!
Just one soul ring from becoming a true Soul Master!
"Teacher, should I absorb a spirit ring now?"
Feeling her breakthrough, she didn't immediately use the God-bestowed soul ring but asked Su Yu.
She remembered his teachings!
"Hm?"
Su Yu opened his eyes, glanced at her, nodded. "Two levels at once. Quite a leap!"
"Hm?"
She froze. Why did that sound odd?
"Teacher, your tone sounds… uncertain?" she asked tentatively.
He nodded. "I've never practiced soul power!"
"…"
His frankness silenced her. "Teacher, don't add things you're unsure of!"
Her aggrieved look seemed to say, I'm your disciple, not a test subject!
Su Yu was speechless. "Am I unreliable?"
"…"
"Tch!"
Her eyes screamed, Yes, you are! He found it amusing!
"When you practiced the technique, didn't you feel the soul power boost was seamless?"
"Hm?"
"I wouldn't add anything uncertain!"
He sighed. "Try it. Remove the soul power cultivation path and see if it affects the technique!"
Realizing her mistake, she saw she'd been too shallow!
She'd wronged her teacher!
To prove his innocence, she ran the technique again, excluding the soul power path. Indeed, no impact.
Guilt hit her.
"Teacher…"
"No need to apologize. Just know I won't harm you!"
He waved magnanimously. "I haven't practiced soul power, but I'm a master of Dou Qi!"
"Hm!"
She nodded, face flushed!
Compared to his generosity, her narrow-mindedness shamed her!
How could she doubt her teacher?
So embarrassing!
"Alright, lift your head. My disciple doesn't need to feel ashamed!"
He was generous!
Who was he? Dou Di!
Why fuss with his disciple?
A prime minister could hold a boat in his stomach!
As Dou Di, he could hold a mountain!
He thought proudly.
But he felt a twinge of guilt.
For Dou Qi, he definitely didn't use her as a test subject!
But soul power…
Forget it! No overthinking!
It'd hurt his disciple's heart!
As her blush faded, he said:
"At level 40, it's time for your fourth spirit ring."
"With your current physique, you can handle about a 35,000-year ring. Still too low, in my view."
"What?"
Her mouth fell open. "Thirty-five thousand years?"
"Teacher, are you serious?"
Thirty-five thousand years—some Soul Saints' seventh rings were that old!
Though such Soul Saints were weak, they were still Soul Saints!
She'd just reached Soul Sect, and could handle such a high limit?
So exaggerated?
Su Yu ignored her shock.
Just because he sensed her strength didn't mean she knew her own body's limits.
Douluo Continent folks lacked that ability!
"How would I joke about this?" he replied. "Before breaking through to Fighter, you could handle about 20,000 years. Post-breakthrough, it's up to 35,000. Still too little!"
Recalling her year of medicinal baths, he was speechless.
Body refining was troublesome, no matter the continent!
"So, we adjust plans. Otherwise, by Soul King, even with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, you'd only manage a 70,000- or 80,000-year ring. Too low!"
"What?"
She gasped again!
Soul King with a 70,000- to 80,000-year ring, too low?
Those words didn't belong together!
A 70,000- to 80,000-year ring could be a Titled Douluo's ninth!
Ignoring her shock, Su Yu mused:
"For a 100,000-year ring, you'd need to reach Great Dou Master. Too slow!"
He calculated the timelines, feeling troubled.
"A 100,000-year soul beast sacrifice?"
His eyes lit up, then he shook his head.
"No living 100,000-year soul beasts suit the Angel Spirit. Annoying!"
She stood dazed, wanting to speak.
No adaptation needed!
A 100,000-year soul beast!
Even a dark-type one, she'd take it!
She wasn't picky!
