Chapter 26: Meeting Xue Qinghe Again
🕑 Added 2025-04-22 14:02:04 +0000 UTC“If you lose, you lose. What does that mean? You have to keep practicing!”
“Practice?” Dugu Yan looked at Lu Buliang unwillingly, “Every day, I practice desperately, cultivate my martial soul, hone my soul skills, and practice mixing poisons. Don’t these count as practice?”
“Okay. But you have to find the right direction and practice hard.” Lu Buliang replied, “You don’t need to practice other things next, just practice soul control first. Because you are a control-type soul master, if you can’t even control the degree of your own soul consumption, how can you control others?”
After a moment of silence, Dugu Yan's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and she said calmly, “Let me go.”
Lu Buliang released the shadow and Dugu Yan’s body could move freely.
Standing up, she wiped away the tears in her eyes. At this moment, Dugu Yan’s face was no longer unwilling and resentful, but more determined. She stared at Lu Buliang and said seriously, “I will fight with you when I am proficient in controlling my soul power. Then I will torture you with the venom of the green phosphorus snake and let you experience the taste of failure. Then I will act superior and lecture you!”
Lu Buliang smiled and nodded.
Dugu Yan looked at Lu Buliang and his eyes suddenly shifted downwards. After a pause, he said, “You won this soul fight. I’m going to keep my word. During this period of time, I won’t ask you to fight with me, and I’ll also find a treasure from my grandfather to give to you.”
After saying that, he walked down from the fighting arena.
Next was the actual soul fighting between the auxiliary systems. Lu Buliang stayed on the stage while Ye Lingling walked up, forming a team of two. Oslo formed a team with another auxiliary system soul master in the class, and the two sides began to fight their souls.
“——”
The academy bell rang, the practical class ended, and now it was time for lunch and rest.
Lu Buliang, Yu Tianheng and others no longer thought about spending their lunch time practicing, but listened to Shi Gao’s advice, ate well and slept enough at noon, so as to keep their spirits up for the mimesis practice in the afternoon.
After lunch, the students and teachers returned to their dormitories to rest. The mimesis field and other places were temporarily closed, and the entire academy became completely quiet.
At this moment, in the dean’s building on the top of the mountain, a sacred aura burst out from the light-filled room and spread in all directions.
The four walls of the room have the function of isolating the aura, but the sacred aura that erupted at this moment was too overbearing to be isolated.
Fortunately, the two Titled Douluo, Porcupine and Snake Lance, who were guarding outside the room suppressed this sacred aura and avoided being discovered.
“The aura of the Miss’s six-winged angel martial spirit seems to have become more pure than before.” Snake Lance Douluo, who was hiding in a dark corner outside the room, thought to himself, “We must be more careful in the future. Don’t let the aura of the angel martial spirit be exposed, so as not to attract the attention of the three old guys from Meng Shenji.”
The Porcupine Douluo, who was also hiding in a dark corner, replied calmly in his heart, “Yeah.”
In a room filled with light.
After removing Xue Qinghe’s disguise, Qian Renxue turned back into a woman. The sacred aura that had just been suppressed by Porcupine and Snake Lance Douluo was released from her body. Although her soul power was not enhanced, the aura of the six-winged angel martial spirit became more refined. According to her grandfather, this was particularly important for the future Inheritance of the angel god position.
After finishing the mimesis training, Qian Renxue stood up and looked up at the transparent ceiling. In her eyes, the sun in the sky was still so scorching. The angel martial soul could call upon a part of the power of the sun’s true fire, so practicing in this room full of sunlight would help to use this power.
Qian Renxue heard the voice of Snake Lance Douluo in her mind, “Miss, the academy bell has rung, and the lunch break is over. You should change back to your identity as the crown prince. You don’t need to go to the palace to discuss matters today. However, in order to avoid being discovered, you’d better finish your training early.”
“I understand. You two uncles don’t have to stay in the academy. Let’s go back to the Spirit Hall first. I’ll have to trouble you again tomorrow at noon.” After saying this in her heart, Qian Renxue turned back into Xue Qinghe’s appearance.
When she was about to leave the room, she found a small stone in the corner of the room. The small stone was tightly attached to the corner of the wall. If she didn’t look carefully, it would be difficult to notice its existence.
Xue Qinghe picked up the small stone, observed it carefully for a while, then looked up at the wall of the room, wondering, could it be that the sacred aura that just erupted shattered the wall?
So why did the stone fall to the ground?
However, the walls of the room were intact, without any signs of damage, so how did the stone appear in this room?
The only person who could enter this room was me.
How could Xue Qinghe have imagined that this small stone was placed in the corner of the room by Lü Buliang, with the purpose of using the shadow of the stone to quietly enter and exit the room for practice.
Xue Qinghe crushed the small stone into powder with two fingers, carefully checked every corner of the room, and left the room only after finding nothing else unusual.
There is no need to go to the palace to discuss matters with Emperor Xue Ye later, so the afternoon is free. Xue Qinghe plans to stay in the academy for a while and take the opportunity to get close to several outstanding students he has chosen.
Lu Buliang, who has a shadow martial spirit.
There is also Luo Siqi, the son of a high-ranking official of the Barak Kingdom, who already possesses a soul power of level 58 at the age of 29 and whose martial soul is sunflower.
Another grandson of the Sacred Dragon Clan’s leader, Tuoba Xiang, possesses a mutated beast spirit with light attributes.
Xue Qinghe admired these three students the most and he believed that they would be the most valuable to him in the future.
He gave the three of them some cultivation resources yesterday. Today he can invite them to the Dean’s Building to chat, build a good relationship, and enhance their feelings.
Xue Qinghe’s method of winning people’s hearts is very simple, that is, adhering to the idea that “good birds choose good trees to roost in”.
Excellent birds will choose ideal trees as their habitats. Xue Qinghe believes that he does not need to go to great lengths to persuade others to submit to him, he just needs to show them the benefits of submitting to him.
It was like giving Lu Buliang a crystal ball that could help him cultivate his shadow martial spirit, and telling him that he had ample resources for cultivation and could give him whatever he wanted. Moreover, as he was the crown prince, he would naturally not treat him unfairly when he inherited the throne in the future.
Seeing these benefits, Lu Buliang should know what choice to make.
Of course, these are all methods of using courtesy before force. If the person Xue Qinghe likes is unwilling to submit to him, and still refuses to submit after using various means, then he will have no choice but to eliminate him.
Some geniuses are a pity to kill, but hateful not to kill them.
While planning who he would meet later, Xue Qinghe had already walked out of the door of the Dean’s Building and found a student sneaking around the building.
Xue Qinghe looked at the student with a puzzled look on his face. Yesterday, the student seemed to be wandering around the Dean’s Building. “Lü Buliang, why are you here in the Dean’s Building instead of practicing?”
When Lu Buliang was about to use his first soul skill to lock onto the small stone shadow placed in the corner of the light-filled room, he suddenly heard someone calling his name. He looked towards the voice and found that the person talking to him was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
“Your Highness, I want to look around here to see if there is a simulated environment suitable for my practice.” Lu Buliang thought to himself that he should find another place to enter the light-filled room next time. It was too blatant near the dean’s building.
“Yesterday I gave you a crystal ball that helps you practice your shadow spirit. As long as there is light, the crystal ball can help you practice very well.” Xue Qinghe reminded, “For you, all the mimesis fields should be suitable for you to practice now.”
“So that’s how it is. Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. Then I’ll go to the nearby grassland mimesis field to practice.” After responding, Lu Buliang was about to leave, but was stopped by Xue Qinghe again.
Xue Qinghe smiled faintly and said, “If you are not in a hurry, we can go to the dean’s building to have some tea and chat. As the acting dean, I also want to hear the students’ suggestions on the academy’s training arrangements.”
