Chapter 191 was indeed a contestant at the beginning, but became a special guest after the game.
"Meow!! Sister, look at me, am I cute like this?"
At this time, Xu Qiaoqiao, who had a big plan in mind, clenched one hand into a small fist and placed it on the side of her face, while raising her chin towards Qian Renxue, looking like a kitten.
Qian Renxue stretched out her finger and scratched her chin in surprise, looking at Xu Qiaoqiao in front of her with her eyes narrowed and making a snoring sound.
Is this still a Star Crown Spirit Master? Not a pet cat?
"You, who did you learn this from?"
As the young master of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue had seen everything from food, clothing, and maids to serve her. However, she had never seen such a scene before, so it was a bit difficult to comment.
Judging from Zhang Muqing and Huang Zhiyuan's attitude towards Xu Qiaoqiao, Xu Qiaoqiao must have a high status in the sect. How could she be so perverted? Do the two protectors who follow her know?
Xu Qiaoqiao hugged Qian Renxue's arm and licked her pink lips.
"Oh, Sister Xue'er, I think you don't understand at all. This is called interest. This is what my mother does when my father has a cold face."
Qian Renxue was a little nervous. Are these young couple really playing tricks? Don't they even avoid the children?
Xu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a while, then asked curiously: "Sister Xue'er, how did you become so strong? Your soul power level only looks like level 20, but you can beat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which is a soul beast of more than 50,000 years! Are you really only level 20?"
Qian Renxue looked at him as if he was a fool and said coldly, "It's just a way to hide your aura. How could there be a soul master that strong at level 20?"
Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her blue eyes, looking thoughtful.
Qian Renxue looks very young, but her strength is very strong. This means that she is at least a Soul Sage, and a talented Soul Sage who can fight above her level. Could it be that she looks so young because of her profound cultivation and the ability of her martial soul that can rejuvenate?
Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head vigorously, laughing in her heart at her own wild idea.
"That's true. How could there be such a powerful spirit master? Impossible, absolutely impossible. I am being stupid. But how old are you, Sister Xue'er?"
"eighteen."
"What? You're only eighteen? I'm nineteen."
Xu Qiaoqiao pondered for a while, then asked cautiously, "Sister Xue'er, your eighteenth birthday won't have several hundred months left, right?"
Qian Renxue glared at her and said, "Eighteen years old, I'm not at the age where I need to lie about my age."
Xu Qiaoqiao didn't quite believe it in her heart, but still joked: "I understand~ I understand everything, Sister Xueer, I don't really care about my actual age."
Qian Renxue in front of her looked indifferent, respectful and noble. Even though she was a favored daughter of the Xingguan Sect, whose talent and appearance made her look superior to the younger generation in the sect, she was destined to be Qian Renxue's foil here.
At first glance, she was obviously the heir of a big family, but why hadn't I heard of her name in Douluo Continent? Could she also be from a hidden sect?
Logically speaking, with Qian Renxue's current strength, she should be taking over the family responsibilities from the older generation step by step, right?
Qian Renxue, her surname is Qian. The only famous Qian surname in Douluo Continent is the direct bloodline of the Spirit Hall. Is she the hidden angel descendant of the Spirit Hall? But Sister Xue'er's spirit is not an angel, but a blood-colored spider.
Speaking of which, Sister Xueer's spider martial soul is of very high quality. Even the pressure it exudes makes the soul power in her body feel unsmooth. This is clearly the effect caused by the crushing quality of the martial soul. You must know that although the Star Luo Empire did not say it explicitly, all the big families with a little status know that the Star Crown martial soul is the strongest martial soul ranked first in the quality of the martial souls of the Star Luo Empire.
The hundred-year-old Nether Wolf has now been processed, and Zhang Muqing and Huang Zhiyuan are roasting it next to the campfire.
The Nether Wolf is a small to medium-sized soul beast. It was originally cut in half by the bloody sickle. After shrinking due to being baked, only about 50 kilograms of meat was left. However, this much should be enough to feed two girls.
After a while, the roasted wolf meat was dripping with butter, which caused the flames to rise. Zhang Muqing took out the seasoning from the storage ring and sprinkled some simple seasonings on it, and the aroma immediately filled the air.
Qian Renxue used her soul power to form a blood-red dagger to cut a piece of wolf meat, and then chewed it. She ate quickly, but she didn't seem rude at all.
Zhang Muqing watched Qian Renxue eat without testing the poison, and he was delighted. She was indeed a young lady, having learned from the sect master since she was young, and she had perfect social skills. It seemed that Miss Xiaoxue trusted them.
How could he know that Qian Renxue was not afraid of poisons. Not many ordinary Titled Douluo were afraid of poisons, let alone her physique that was immune to all poisons.
"Such a strong soul control, how does it taste?"
At this moment, Zhang Muqing felt like he was inviting the sect leader to dinner, and asked nervously.
Qian Renxue took another bite with satisfaction, her snow-white cheeks bulging.
"It's delicious. I thought wolf meat would be very tough."
Zhang Muqing smiled cheerfully, "I learned the skills when I was wandering before, so I'm still quite good at it. But the most important thing is to add the right seasoning. If it comes to taste, the best low-level soul beast is the soft-bone rabbit. It's tender and juicy, and it's also one of the favorite prey of many small and medium soul beasts."
Xu Qiaoqiao was also very greedy at this time, so she imitated Qian Renxue and used her soul power to condense a golden dagger with a somewhat strange shape, cut off a piece and put it in her mouth.
“Ouch, it’s so hot!”
Then she couldn't stop breathing and rolled the food with her tongue to cool it down. Her pink tongue was burned and a small blister appeared.
"Ha - Sister Xue'er, you don't feel hot at all?"
"My internal body temperature is relatively high, and food at this temperature is just right."
Qian Renxue explained, then raised her knife and cut off a piece of wolf meat. Her index finger had turned ice blue at some point, and her eyes were shining with white light. The high temperature around her also dropped sharply under the influence of the extreme coldness emanating from Qian Renxue's fingertips, and a layer of light ice mist appeared on the surrounding ground.
Qian Renxue was a little surprised, and immediately retracted the coldness, and the frost dissipated, and then she handed it to the stunned Xu Qiaoqiao.
Unexpectedly, after absorbing the Ice Dragon King's soul bone, her ice-attributed martial soul had been upgraded to the level of ultimate ice. Ever since she obtained the silver dragon bloodline in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, this ice elemental power was as smooth as waving an arm. No matter whether it was the Angel Soul Power or the Spider King Soul Power, there was no longer any sense of conflict or blockage as before.
When it comes to elemental manipulation, the silver dragon bloodline is indeed gifted.
Seeing this scene, Huang Zhiyuan's pupils shrank and he blurted out immediately.
"Ice-attributed martial soul, you, you have a twin martial soul!" Qian Renxue's white eyes, which exuded a strong chill, returned to normal, and she subconsciously looked at Huang Zhiyuan.
"Ahem - sorry, Miss Xiaoxue, I have no intention of exploring your secrets."
Zhang Muqing was not in a much better condition. He opened his mouth slightly and looked at Qian Renxue with burning eyes.
He was a little impatient in his heart and secretly cursed Huang Zhiyuan, this idiot, for being too reckless. You can know this kind of thing, but you can't say it openly. Everyone can know it in their hearts, otherwise the atmosphere will become very awkward. How can others know whether you will hurt others? Naturally and deliberately avoiding this topic is conducive to the subsequent getting along.
"It doesn't matter. I never had the intention to hide it. There are only a handful of people on this Douluo Continent who can rival me. I have long passed the stage where I need to hide my talent."
Qian Renxue nodded indifferently. What was her current strength? She had already grown to the late stage. Did she still need to hide her talent in front of others? If someone was blind and wanted to trick her because of her talent, Qian Renxue would be more than happy. It was just right that the toys came, so she played with them.
Zhang Muqing and Huang Zhiyuan looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
Qian Renxue's control over temperature is also excellent. Xu Qiaoqiao took a bite and found that only the temperature of the skin had cooled down, while the inside was still hot. The taste of both ice and hot was very wonderful and it tasted even more delicious.
"It's actually an ice elemental martial spirit. Sister Xue'er, you are truly... I have never seen a spirit master as talented as you."
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, looked nonchalant and said calmly, "You really haven't had enough experience. If you stay in seclusion all the time, you will lose your perception of the world. There are geniuses everywhere in Douluo Continent. As for twin spirits, there are three people I know who have them. It's no big deal."
"There are also many others with extraordinary talents and amazing combat abilities."
"What? It turns out that there are so many geniuses hidden in the dark of the continent. No wonder the successive sect masters have always kept the Xingguan Sect in seclusion, even my father is no exception."
If other people said that they had seen many twin martial souls, Xu Qiaoqiao would definitely not believe it, but since Qian Renxue, who had a twin martial soul, said so, it was definitely not a lie.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Qian Renxue with sparkling eyes, "Sister Xue'er, so you came to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt for the spirit ring for your second martial spirit? We can do it together! I'm hunting for the fourth spirit ring."
Qian Renxue stopped eating after eating a quarter of the wolf meat. She licked the corner of her mouth, and her pink lips looked particularly gorgeous and lustful because of the oil on them. Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be stunned. Sister Xue'er's action looked so lustful.
Qian Renxue shook her head and refused, "I have already finished hunting for my spirit ring, which was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. I will rest here for one night and return to Tiandou City tomorrow."
"Tiandou City? Do you know about the competition? Is it the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition?" Xu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise.
Qian Renxue looked at her in surprise, "Well, but aren't you a spirit master from a hidden sect? Do you know about this competition?"
"Of course, we will go to Tiandou City later! This is a grand event for all soul masters! This year, there is no one with amazing talent in the Xingluo Royal Family. The two most talented princes have not grown up yet. So my brother will represent the captain of the Xingluo Royal Academy this year. He was specially invited by the Xingluo Royal Family! Awesome, right? Do you know him?"
"His name is Xu Lingling. What a cute name!"
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "The name is indeed a little cute, but I don't have much impression of it. In the first round of the elimination match, the royal academies of the two empires were given a bye, so your brother doesn't seem to have a particularly high presence."
Yu Tianheng, the idiot who didn't appear on the stage, has a greater presence than Xu Lingling. After all, he is the number one genius in Tiandou City designated by Emperor Xue Ye, and he has been given enough screen time and space. However, this Xu Lingling should be just an ordinary genius recognized on the Douluo Continent, which is quite different from Qian Renxue's standard of genius.
"And judging from the positions, Xingluo Royal Academy doesn't seem to be among the top three teams. They are not the favorite to win. The third place was taken by the Barak Kingdom's Exotic Beast Academy."
Xu Qiaoqiao bit her finger in confusion, "How could this happen? Barak Kingdom? When did the Kingdom's team become so strong? My brother is much stronger than the previous Xingluo Royal Captains, so why can't he be ranked in the top three this time?"
But she quickly put her brother behind her, grabbed Qian Renxue's hands, and looked at her pitifully.
"Sister Xue'er, let's go together! I can hunt spirit rings very quickly. One day, no, half a day is enough! It will definitely not delay your trip. The target location is not far from here. We can go directly to the pool where the star energy turtle lives."
Qian Renxue was not surprised that Xu Qiaoqiao had already set a goal. It was rather like this for all the children of large families. Before their soul power level had even broken through, the family had already begun looking for suitable soul rings for them. They did not need to gamble their luck in the Star Dou Great Forest like ordinary soul masters.
"Let's go together! Let's go together! Let's go to Tiandou City to watch the competition!!!"
Qian Renxue thought about it for a while and decided that compared to the competition, the Xingguan Sect's line was indeed more important, but she was also unwilling to be wasted in the Xingdou Great Forest.
She whispered, "I can wait for you for one day at most. I'm a contestant who's going to participate in the competition."
The round-robin tournament takes the longest time and is also the most profitable. Emperor Xue Ye wishes he could just play one match a day and drag it out for a few more days.
There are three teams that do not have to participate in the knockout rounds, namely Wuhun Hall, Xingluo Royal Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy. Only half of the remaining thirty teams remain after the knockout rounds.
After three days of elimination matches, excluding the Spirit Hall which will participate in the finals, there are a total of seventeen teams in the round-robin tournament. One team can have a bye in each round. The remaining sixteen teams must each play a full fifteen games, and finally be ranked based on the winning points. Although all participating teams have to go to Spirit City, only the top two teams can participate in the final finals.
Although there is still plenty of time now, it would be funny if we go too late and Blue Bully Academy gets third place. After all, the quality of students in Blue Bully Academy is really average. Although their martial spirits are good, their soul power levels are not enough.
After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Xu Qiaoqiao's happy expression suddenly froze. She felt like her CPU was about to burn out.
"Ah? A contestant? Sister Xue'er, are you really only eighteen years old?"
"Replacement guaranteed."
"What I mean is, Sister Xue'er, with your strength, you want to participate in the All-Continental Spirit Master Elite Competition? Shouldn't you be a young teacher at the Royal Academy or a special guest of a high position?"
Qian Renxue hesitated for a while, then said: "I am only eighteen years old, shouldn't I be able to participate? The competition rules state that anyone under the age of twenty-five can participate. You are already nineteen years old. You can't forbid me to sign up for the competition just because your martial spirit talent is too poor, right?"
"Besides, becoming a contestant won't affect my role as a guest, right? At the beginning, I was indeed just a contestant, but after a match, I became a special guest."
Xu Qiaoqiao: “.”
Zhang Muqing: “.”
Huang Zhiyuan: “.”
Although I always feel that something is wrong, what she said makes sense.
