Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 10 Qian Renxue, Martial Soul Mutation
Three days later, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan had both fully refined the immortal herb.

"Little brother Qiuyang, look at you, you're covered in sweat. Let me wipe it off for you."

Ning Qiuyang was covered in sweat because he was learning martial arts from a ghost, a ghost who knew a self-created soul skill of a certain type of martial arts.

Ning Qiuyang realized that he was still lacking in close combat skills, so he had been practicing the Three Emperors Cannon Fist for the past three days.

After refining the immortal herb, Dugu Yan's hair grew longer, making her temperament much gentler.

As she approached Ning Qiuyang and used her handkerchief to wipe his sweat, a delicate fragrance wafted into Ning Qiuyang's nose.

When Ning Rongrong came out, what she saw was the two of them standing very close together.

"Ning Qiuyang, what are you doing?"

Dugu Yan calmly put away the handkerchief.

"You must be Rongrong's sister. Qiuyang was sweating a lot during his practice, so I'm wiping him off."

Ning Rongrong pouted, looking unhappy.

She was initially happy because refining the immortal herb had greatly increased her soul power, but unexpectedly, a woman with a full head of purple hair suddenly appeared and became so close to Ning Qiuyang.

Ning Rongrong was still young and didn't know why she felt uncomfortable; she just thought the older sister was a bit awful.

Dugu Yan secretly raised an eyebrow.

How could such a little girl compare to her older sister's charm?

Ning Qiuyang suddenly realized something was wrong.

Goodness, he's only six years old! Is he going to have to go through a hellish ordeal so early?
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi and the others approaching, Ning Qiuyang quickly said:

"Uncle Ning, can we leave now?"

“That’s right. We’ll stop at Tiandou City first to replenish our food supplies, and then we’ll head to the Star Dou Great Forest.”

Ning Fengzhi was in high spirits.

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has been transformed into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, breaking through the limitations that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always had. With the addition of Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo elder, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is visibly thriving.

On the way to Tiandou City, Ning Rongrong stayed close to Ning Qiuyang, as if she was afraid someone would snatch him away.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were grinding their teeth in disbelief.

Upon arriving in Tiandou City, Dugu Bo was the first to take his leave.

Dugu Yan's soul power has broken through level 30. He is going to take Dugu Yan to the place where the Dugu family hunts soul beasts to help her obtain her third soul ring.

He would then wait for Ning Qiuyang and the others to return before heading back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School together.

"Teacher, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Tiandou City?"

Not long after entering the city, Ning Qiuyang and his companions encountered a young man dressed in fine clothes.

Ning Qiuyang suddenly looked up. Could it be...?

As expected, Ning Fengzhi said, "So it's Your Highness the Crown Prince. I was just passing through Tiandou City and didn't expect to meet you here."

"You are my teacher, so please call me by my name. You must never address me as the Crown Prince."

Ning Qiuyang looked Xue Qinghe up and down. Was Xue Qinghe now Qian Renxue?

Ning Fengzhi has a close relationship with the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire. In order to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire made Xue Qinghe become Ning Fengzhi's disciple.

Ning Qiuyang's first impression of Xue Qinghe was that he was a handsome young man with a graceful demeanor and the air of a nobleman.

"This must be Rongrong. Your teacher brought you here once when you were little, but you probably don't remember."

Xue Qinghe, or Qian Renxue, is very skilled at dealing with people and things, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort, and she does not neglect even children.

"Who is this little boy?" Xue Qinghe asked Ning Qiuyang.

Actually, she wanted to ask that from the very beginning.

The moment she saw Ning Qiuyang, her martial soul subtly stirred.

This unusual movement wasn't an unconscious hostility arising from an angelic martial soul encountering an evil martial soul, but it wasn't exactly friendly either. It just meant that one's martial soul seemed to have undergone some changes.

It's important to know that her martial soul is one of the top martial souls in the Douluo Continent, with an innate soul power of level 20. Such a thing has never happened before. Whether the change in her martial soul is good or bad, Qian Renxue doesn't know, but she is extremely curious about Ning Qiuyang.

Ning Fengzhi gave a brief introduction:

"His name is Ning Qiuyang, and he is also a disciple of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Oh? Qiu Yang must be very talented to have you taking him under your wing, teacher."

"So-so, it's passable," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Qian Renxue had seen many people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but none of them had ever caused her martial soul to react.

Since she is now identified as Xue Qinghe, it's not appropriate to press her further, so we can only leave it at that for now.

"Teacher, you said you were just passing through Tiandou City. Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No need to trouble you, we're leaving soon."

Ning Fengzhi didn't explain what he was going to do, so Qian Renxue stopped there and didn't press the matter further.

"In that case, I won't take up any more of your time, teacher. I'll ask you for your guidance when you have time."

After speaking to Ning Fengzhi, she said to Ning Rongrong and Ning Qiuyang, "Rongrong, if you and Qiuyang want to come to Tiandou City, come find me."

"Okay," Ning Rongrong said, bewildered.

He had a neutral impression of Xue Qinghe, but he was very interested in going out to play, and even more interested in going out to play with Ning Qiuyang.

After leaving, Qian Renxue went straight back to the palace.

Upon entering the secluded cultivation chamber, Qian Renxue immediately summoned her Angelic Martial Soul.

"How could this be?"

Qian Renxue discovered that the tail of one of the wings of her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had turned black, as if it had been stained with ink.

Qian Renxue withdrew her martial spirit and released it again.

The black wingtips remained jet black, standing out starkly against the backdrop of the other white angel wings.

Qian Renxue panicked a little.

Although she had never witnessed a martial soul mutation, she had heard of many.

His six-winged angel martial soul was a top-tier martial soul, a symbol of light and purity.

But now this light is tinged with darkness, and pure light is mixed with some profundity.

Aside from the change in the color of her martial soul, Qian Renxue hasn't noticed any other changes yet, and she can still use both her soul power and soul skills as usual.

"Could it be that the changes in the martial soul are not numerous enough?"

Qian Renxue recalled Ning Qiuyang's figure.

"How could a child who just awakened her martial soul influence her martial soul to this extent? If the two of them spent more time together, would my angel martial soul turn completely black?"

We must figure out the reasons for this change.

Qian Renxue opened the secret chamber and said to the empty space, "Someone come here."

A person dressed in a black robe suddenly appeared.

"Little Lord."

"Go back to the Spirit Hall immediately and find out if there have been any recent changes in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Most importantly, find out the background of Ning Qiuyang of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and what his spirit is."

"Yes."

The man agreed and then quickly disappeared again.

Qian Renxue stood there in silence for a long time, when suddenly she heard a voice from outside: "Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence."

Qian Renxue immediately adjusted her emotions, and the next moment, the elegant Xue Qinghe returned.
