Chapter 36 of the First Person
The tall, black-haired boy had a pair of bright, piercing eyes and eyelashes longer than many girls'. His outstanding appearance attracted the attention of people coming and going from the Spirit Pagoda.
But at this moment, he lowered his head and remained silent, looking dejected. Seeing this, the brown-haired boy Xie Xie could only pat him on the back to comfort him.
Gu Yue initially had the best relationship with Tang Wulin, leaving a deep impression on Tang Wulin when he first arrived in Donghai City.
But after only a few days, Gu Yue became much more distant from Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin wanted to ask why, but Gu Yue spent most of her time with that white-haired boy climbing to the higher levels of the Spirit Tower!
He had less and less time to meet with Gu Yue, and he couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to say!
Wu Changkong, the young man from the blue team standing at the forefront, walked out first without turning his head and said, "Gu Yue should have joined the Spirit Pagoda, so let's go back first!"
Everyone has their own path to walk, and Gu Yue has found hers. You should wish her well!
The three responded and then followed Wu Changkong onto the bus to return.
Upon arriving at the laboratory, Qian Gu Chenran walked away on his own. He was going to experiment with the Martial Soul Self-Fusion Technique, and Gu Yue was going to learn the technique of creating Soul Spirits. They were not on the same route at all.
Watching Qian Gu Chenran's departing figure, a deep purple light flashed in Gu Yue's eyes: "Such abundant luck! It seems that Chenran is the chosen one this time! What's going on with the ruler of this plane? Chenran's luck is more than Tang San and Huo Yuhao combined."
Chapter 69 Martial Soul Fusion Technique: Taixu Ziwei Dharma Body
Playing with the spherical object formed by various elements in his hand, Qian Gu Chen Ran was extremely fond of the Soul Skill "Stealing the Outer Appearance of the Void".
After this period of experimentation, it was found that even a Soul Master's battle armor could be stolen if the opponent's strength was lower than his own.
If you run out of soul power, just pick a few weaker soul masters on the other side and steal their soul power to use!
He then summoned the Thunderous Hell Vine, which, having worked with Qian Gu Chen Ran for many days, naturally understood Qian Gu Chen Ran's intentions.
A large amount of purple lightning surrounded Qian Gu Chen Ran, and the silver flames of the void also appeared at this moment.
The two intertwined in mid-air, forming a yin-purple tai ji diagram!
Boom! A terrifying beam of light shot out, directly shattering the metal target in front of them, which was powerful enough to defend against a full-force attack from an ordinary Soul Emperor!
Qian Gu Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction. He would start with Guang Yin Nan Xing and then use this Thunder and Fire Calamity move to kill the opponent.
Immediately afterwards, silver flames and lightning from the void intertwined around Qian Gu Chen Ran's hands. He crossed his hands and unleashed ten silver light blades, each ten feet long, forward!
The already formidable Dark Gold Terrorclaw becomes even more powerful with the enhancement of the Void Flame and Void Lightning.
Silver and purple-gold light illuminated the space surrounding Qian Gu Chen Ran. Silver Void Flames, Void Thunder, Purple Star Heavenly Fire that absorbed the Purple Star Yang, and Colored Thunder from the Thunderous Hell Vine appeared in succession.
The Panlong Staff appeared in Qian Gu Chen Ran's hand at this moment. It transformed into a Demon-Slaying Dragon Soul and coiled around Qian Gu Chen Ran's body. Qian Gu Chen Ran opened his Tai Xu Eyes, and his figure gradually became entangled with the Demon-Slaying Dragon, Tai Xu Flame, Tai Xu Thunder, Ziwei Heavenly Fire, and Yan Yu Thunder.
A silver avatar, over ten meters tall, draped in a purple robe adorned with a sky full of stars, sat cross-legged in the void. A purplish-gold dragon soul coiled around his body, its eyes scanning the surroundings with a ferocious gaze.
He pointed his left index finger downwards, and the two types of fire surrounding him and the dragon soul formed a beam of light that shot down onto the purple mech that had been placed below.
Boom! The moment the beam of light touched the purple mecha, the mecha was instantly engulfed by the purple and silver light.
After delivering the blow, the silver avatar transformed into specks of light and flew downwards, from which Qian Gu Chen Ran emerged. He looked at the floor, which was almost pierced through, and was startled.
The power was beyond his expectations, but it meant the Spirit Pagoda in Donghai City would have to rebuild its floor. This was already the result of him holding back.
After experimenting with these combination techniques and the self-fusion martial soul technique, the Taixu Ziwei Dharma Body, Qian Gu Chenran left the training room to eat! One of the three great precepts of the Body Sect: Never neglect your meals!
Zhenhua and Muye are now being dragged to Mu Chen's house for meals every day, under the guise of being the hosts!
Of course, that's what Mu Chen said, but in reality, he couldn't forget the food Mu Ye had cooked.
Mu Ye had no objection to this, after all, Mu Chen himself was also an eighth-level Saint Craftsman and was from the same school as Zhen Hua.
Moreover, during his time in Donghai City, Mu Chen had indeed taken great care of him and his disciple! Qian Gu Chen Ran had also been eating at Zhen Hua's house during this period!
After finishing today's lesson, Gu Yue was taken aback when she saw Na'er waiting for her at the elevator entrance.
Na'er was unwilling to merge with him and too lazy to help the other soul beasts. Moreover, Na'er, who possessed human-like qualities, would risk causing Gu Yue a mental breakdown unless it was entirely of her own volition!
Not to mention that Na'er is backed by the Qian Gu family, the number one family in the Spirit Pagoda. If Na'er goes missing, they will definitely search for her with all their might!
Most importantly, whenever she had the idea of forcibly absorbing Na'er, an ominous premonition would always follow.
"So why did you come to see me today? Have you thought it through?" Gu Yue looked at Na'er expectantly, hoping she could change her mind!
Sensing Gu Yue's expectant gaze, Na'er rolled her eyes dismissively. She was dull-witted, not stupid. Although she also possessed memories of the Silver Dragon King era, she was either recuperating or on her way to recuperate.
In her heart, it didn't matter whether Di Tian and the others lived or died! Becoming the Silver Dragon King meant sacrificing herself, and she had finally experienced the beauty of family and friendship.
They finally have a home, and Gu Yue and the others are going to sacrifice themselves the moment they open their mouths? What a joke!
The two, who shared the same origins, began a telepathic exchange in the elevator. Na'er spoke first: "What are you doing at the Spirit Tower! You're not really thinking of climbing to the upper levels of the Spirit Tower and then launching a counterattack against humanity, are you?!"
"Do you think you can beat my boss?! His Ultimate Martial Soul cultivation speed is slow, yet he still completely overwhelms you in terms of cultivation! And with your current strength, do you even think you can beat me?!"
Hearing Na'er's sarcastic words, Gu Yue glared at her fiercely: "What can I do? I'm not heartless like you! I have to be responsible for the Soul Beast race. We Soul Beasts have been bullied by humans since ancient times and are now almost extinct."
If I don't step forward, how will the soul beasts survive?
"And my loss to you last time was just an accident. If you hadn't been able to summon Chen Ran's phantom, I wouldn't have lost to you!"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth in anger at the mere mention of her previous loss to Na'er. Losing to Na'er, who possessed less than half of her own power—what a joke!
Hearing Gu Yue address Qian Gu Chen Ran so affectionately, Na'er looked displeased: "Who are you? Why are you calling my boss so intimately?"
Seeing Na'er's reaction, Gu Yue's lips curled up. She already knew how to get Na'er to willingly merge with her.
"How about we make a bet?"
"Not good enough? Not even worth a fight? Do you even deserve it? Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to bet with me? You're not thinking of betting with me whether the boss will fall in love with you, are you?"
You shameless woman. If I wanted to, I could sleep in the same room as the boss every day. At worst, I'd force myself on him, and then I'd make up for it by giving him a few children.
Seeing Na'er smugly utter such shameless words, Gu Yue retreated to the corner in disbelief.
"How could I possibly have such a shameless half of you? Where is the pride of the dragon race? Where is the dignity of the Silver Dragon King? You've completely discarded it all..."
Gu Yue pointed at Na'er and recited every swear word she could think of. Unfortunately, Na'er, who had been living in the human world for several years, found Gu Yue's words completely harmless.
Not only that, Na'er also planned to put pressure on Gu Yue: "Don't blame everything on humans. The real period of human persecution of soul beasts is within these ten thousand years."
Do you think that the transformation of spirit beasts is entirely due to humans? Aren't there enough internal killings among spirit beasts themselves? The Human-Faced Demon Spider, driven by its bloodlust, kills far more spirit beasts each year than the average human.
And then there's Di Tian and his group, suppressing the living space of 100,000-year-old soul beasts—don't argue with that. We two are just healing, we're not dead. How many tiger-type soul beasts have died at their hands over the years!
Soul beasts are inherently inferior to humans in terms of power enhancement, and they have consistently suppressed tiger-type soul beasts capable of advancing to the 100,000-year level. Over the years, countless high-level combatants have perished at their hands.
Don't blame everything on humans; look for the reasons within yourselves. Does Xiong Jun lack intelligence, or does Di Tian? Would it kill him to let a few tiger-type soul beasts advance?
"With this level of intelligence, you think you can revive the Soul Beasts? I think you've had too few Soul-Guided Cannonballs; you're asking for trouble."
Before Gu Yue could finish speaking, Na'er stepped out of the elevator and left, as she was in a hurry to get a free meal!
Gu Yue was stunned by Na'er's string of words and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Finally, she realized that Na'er was just making excuses!
Chapter 70 The war is coming
Gu Yue returned to her dormitory at Donghai Academy and lay on her bed pondering what Na'er had just told her. Although Na'er's words were somewhat far-fetched, there was some truth to them.
She dialed Di Tian's number to ask him what he was thinking back then.
In a deserted forest, Di Tian was startled when he saw the phone call from his master. Could it be that his master was in danger?
He hurriedly answered the phone: "My lord, what happened? Did the Demon King and Zi Ji fail to protect you properly? I'm coming over right now!"
Gu Yue looked out at the night sky: "No need to rush back, I'm fine now. Di Tian, why did you stop tiger-type soul beasts from advancing to the 100,000-year level back then?"
Di Tian was taken aback by his master's question: why prevent tiger-type soul beasts from advancing? After pondering for a while, Di Tian said uncertainly, "Master, tiger-type soul beasts are naturally domineering. After breaking through 100,000 years, they may very well threaten the ruler's position."
Besides, I hardly ever lift a finger; those kinds of things are done by Bear King, Demon King, and Crimson King. And Tiger God was unruly back then; I don't think they did anything wrong in that respect!
Gu Yue felt dizzy and disoriented. What were their identities and bloodlines? What were yours?
"You idiot, Di Tian, you idiot! How are you going to lead the soul beasts to the peak now! You've caused us to lose so much combat power."
Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Di Tian was completely bewildered. What had he done to deserve such a scolding from his master?
Gu Yue lay on the bed, feeling utterly lost about the future. She had found half of her body, but couldn't fuse with it; she had found the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, but it was still an imposter; she had discovered two auspicious beasts, but they didn't recognize her as the supreme ruler of the soul beasts.
And then there's Qian Gu Chen Ran, the chosen one of this world. His luck is greater than that of Tang San and Huo Yuhao combined back then, and his cultivation is even stronger than mine, the Silver Dragon King.
How is she going to save the soul beast?
Mu Chen's family
Everyone clinked glasses to offer their blessings to Qian Gu Chen Ran and Mu Xi, who would be participating in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition the next day.
Mu Chen looked at Qian Gu Chenran and his daughter: "Chenran, Xiaoxi, you will be participating in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition the day after tomorrow. Chenran, your martial uncle is not worried about your strength, and your martial uncle should thank you."
You've been guiding Xiaoxi in her forging for a while now. Xiaoxi's rapid progress is all thanks to you. Your senior uncle salutes you!
Watching Mu Chen down his drink in one gulp, Qian Gu Chen Ran smiled at Mu Xi and said, "Senior Sister's talent is quite outstanding, and her foundation is solid! I didn't put in much effort!"
"Then we still have to thank you! Right, Xiaoxi!" Yuanbao looked at Qian Guchenran with satisfaction. Talented, polite, and with a powerful background, what kind of family could raise such an outstanding child?
Mu Ye sighed, looking at Qian Gu Chenran's humble demeanor. Zhen Hua looked at him strangely: "Why are you sighing! Chenran hasn't done anything wrong!"
"Sigh! I'm lamenting that Chenran and Aheng are both my students, yet they're so different!" Every time I see Qian Gu Chenran and Mu Ye, I always bring up Aruheng to say a few words.
Zhenhua recalled how his veins had bulged when he was teaching Aruheng. He exchanged a glance with Muye and clinked glasses.
Qian Gu Chen Ran then noticed that his soul communication device was vibrating incessantly, so he curiously took it out to take a look.
He was relieved to find that the message was from his father. He opened it out of curiosity and saw that his father and grandfather were already on their way to Tianhai City.
It's safer to publicly humiliate Shrek Academy members when their parents are around. Na'er, who was munching on a crab, noticed Qian Gu Chenran laughing incessantly at his soul-guided communicator.
She glanced warily at the soul-guided communicator, only breathing a sigh of relief when she saw it was Qian Gu Qingfeng. As long as it wasn't that vixen Gu Yue.
Spirit Pagoda Headquarters
Harosa looked at Kong Mingyu standing beside him: "Mecha." A humanoid red mecha, twenty meters tall, appeared beside them!
Seeing this, Qian Gu Qingfeng and Qian Gu Die Ting followed suit and boarded Kong Mingyu's red mecha. The four of them headed straight for Tianhai City.
The next day
Na'er and Qian Gu Chenran boarded Mu Ye's red-class mecha. No matter how fast the Soul Guidance Train went, it couldn't catch up with Mu Ye's Little Red mecha.
Looking at online travel guides for Tianhai City, Na'er noted down the major restaurants and snack streets. Qian Guchenran closed his eyes to rest.
Tianhai City and Donghai City are like brothers in misfortune, and the two cities are not far apart. The five first-tier cities of the Tianhai Alliance are coastal cities, and their economic strength ranks among the top in the alliance.
