Douluo Continent: Ultimate Sea God Dragon, Inheriting Two Godhoods

Led by She Long and Ci Xue, they traveled so fast that their feet never touched the ground, and returned to Tian Dou City at top speed.

Upon arriving at a residence in the city, Qian Renxue changed her clothes as quickly as possible and hurried to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Along with them, there was also a blood-piercing one.

"Grandpa Shelong, where is Sister Xue'er going?"

Ouyang Ling feigned ignorance.

Because from beginning to end, Qian Renxue never revealed her identity, and She Long and Ci Xue never revealed that they were titled Douluo.

It's normal for him to show confusion now.

"Miss is the eldest prince's maid. She has gone back to the palace." Perhaps having expected this, She Long readily revealed what he had in mind.

However, to prevent Ouyang Ling, a six-year-old child still in the curious stage, from asking further questions, She Long changed the subject, "Kid, you've obtained your first spirit ring. Do you want to see how far your spirit power has progressed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crystal ball appeared in his hand.

Clearly, the time is not right to reveal it yet; they need to cultivate the relationship further.

"certainly."

Knowing their concerns, Ouyang Ling assessed the situation and summoned his Martial Soul, placing his hand on the crystal ball. The moment his Soul Power was injected, light emanated from it.

"Level 12, not bad."

A look of emotion crossed She Long's eyes. "It's only natural that a True Dragon Martial Soul and a Sub-Dragon Soul Beast would bring such a boost to soul power."

"Grandpa Shelong, what should I do next?"

At this moment, Ouyang Ling was eager to try.

My sister Xue'er is, after all, the young master of the Spirit Hall. Since she has decided to train me, she must have the corresponding resources, right?

come on!

Overwhelm him with resources!

"What's next?"

Glancing at Ouyang Ling's excited expression, She Long put the crystal ball away. "You just came back from hunting souls, don't you want to rest?"

"In no mood!"

There's a lion hidden in his eyes!

Now is the time to pursue power!

Only with enough power can that tragedy be averted!

He remembered every single one of the villagers who had died.

"Yeah…"

Looking into Ouyang Ling's eyes, She Long dared to say that this was the first time he had ever seen a six-year-old child like this. Most children of this age longed to play deep down, and even those who diligently cultivated were often forced to do so by their elders.

This kid has the potential to amount to much!

Highly talented and hardworking, how can others compare?

"Since you're so eager, let's begin."

Even Ouyang Ling himself said so, so She Long naturally wouldn't hold back. Anyway, the young master had said that he would be nurtured with great effort.

Then, "Bang—"

The heavy thud slammed onto the table, and Ouyang Ling, who had just been excited, froze on the spot.

Looking at books that were taller than himself.

He couldn't help but recall the hell he experienced during his senior year of high school.

"These books..."

Ouyang Ling pointed, then suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

As a power-attack type Soul Master, shouldn't you focus on cultivating Soul Power and refining Soul Skills, and then just charge straight into battle?

"This is what you want to see."

"And you really need to study hard!"

She Long's words shattered someone's illusion of not wanting to study, and his eyes even carried a hint of amusement, his tone becoming slightly more forceful when he said the last sentence.

However, Ouyang Ling did not realize this, or rather, he did not care at all.

"A Soul Master's cultivation efficiency is limited. The most efficient cultivation period is between the ages of 12 and 25. Therefore, before the age of 12, you should spend time learning about Martial Souls, Soul Rings, Soul Beasts, and Soul Skills to arm your mind. Because no one understands your own Martial Soul better than you do, if you want to go higher and further on the path of a Soul Master, you must rationally plan which path your Martial Soul should take."

"And when you grow up, it's inevitable that you'll go out and gain experience. So it's essential for you to get to know the local customs and cultures, and the various forces at play."

"Bang...bang..."

The pile of books made a dull thud as it was slapped.

"Starting today, you will study this knowledge every morning, train your physique and learn combat skills every afternoon, and take a medicinal bath every night instead of sleeping."

"This way, you can maximize your efficiency."

She Long looked at Ouyang Ling with a calm expression.

Do you have any objections?

"no."

Ouyang Ling gave a resolute answer.

If it's the path I chose, then I'll walk it firmly to the end!

To become stronger, to become a god

What is this little bit of hardship?

He not only has to learn these things, but he also has to learn pharmacology so that he can make use of the treasures that are not valued in this era!

Let's set a small goal first—

The second soul ring in a thousand years!

"Come on! I'm ready!"

For the next period of time, Ouyang Ling hardly ever stepped out of the courtyard; he was either studying or fighting.

Although it was tough, the result of each battle was that he would be smashed to the ground by She Long, and his whole body would be in so much pain that he couldn't stand up.

It can be boring, of course, but he can endure it.

The good news is that a specialized healing-type Soul Master was available to treat his injuries, preventing the accumulation of hidden wounds. That one Soul Skill was enough to make Ouyang Ling full of energy, just like nothing had happened.

Furthermore, there's a dedicated chef to prepare every meal for Sister Xue'er. It's not obvious how professional it is, but it's definitely expensive.

The ingredients are either from hundred-year-old or thousand-year-old soul beasts, and the value converted into gold soul coins is absolutely high.

Even the herbs used for bathing every night are quite expensive.

In addition, he also discovered in the book the mistake he made when choosing his first spirit ring.

Recalling the way Qian Renxue and the other two looked at her back then, she couldn't help but feel a flush of embarrassment.

This is incredibly embarrassing!

However, Qian Renxue was also thoughtful at the time. Although she did not directly point out his mistake, when choosing Gyarados as her first spirit ring, the amplification effect of that spirit skill could be stacked.

This is a small but comforting thing.

During this period, Ouyang Ling did manage to run into Qian Renxue a few times a week. However, she never stayed for long; at most, she would have a quick meal with Ouyang Ling before having to leave immediately.

Every move they made was as if they were walking on thin ice; their cautious demeanor showed no sign of carelessness.

This feeling intensifies over time.

Ouyang Ling knew that it wouldn't be long before the identity of the maid Xiaoxue would disappear from the Heaven Dou Empire, and in her place would be Xue Qinghe, who was gentle and had the bearing of a ruler.

However, after living in Tiandou City for a year and a half, the situation changed. Qian Renxue spent more time in the mansion, focusing more on cultivation and socializing.

A loving older sister and a dutiful younger brother.

That's roughly how they get along.

As for why Qian Renxue is no longer busy...

Ouyang Ling didn't ask, and she didn't say anything.

In the first month, the other people in the mansion began to display the Spirit Hall insignia in front of Ouyang Ling. If the previous year and a half had been occasional, now it could be described as open and aboveboard.

In the second month, after learning that Ouyang Ling was not curious about the Spirit Hall's insignia but instead acted as if it were a matter of course and was used to it, Ci Xue and She Long, with Qian Renxue's tacit approval, also clearly revealed their Title Douluo cultivation for the first time.

The third month, which is today.

After breakfast, Qian Renxue suddenly called out to Ouyang Ling.

"Xiao Ling, come here."

"Sister Xue'er, what's wrong?"

Ouyang Ling stepped forward with doubt.

But as soon as he got close, Qian Renxue stretched out her "sinful" hand and, with lightning speed, grabbed his cheek and pulled it to both sides.

"Look at my little brother, he's getting fatter and fatter because of my feeding."

The comfortable feel made Qian Renxue smile and rub it for a while.

"Ouch—, sis, it hurts..."

She only let go when Ouyang Ling started to sob.

Stroking her flushed cheeks, Ouyang Ling glanced at him with a half-moon-shaped eyelid and complained, "Sister Xue'er, why did you pinch my cheek?"

However, to Qian Renxue, this complaint sounded more like a coquettish tantrum. It amused her, and she struggled to suppress it.

"Pinching your cheek is, of course, a punishment."

Qian Renxue feigned seriousness, "I heard from Grandpa Shelong that you've recently started studying pharmacology. Have you finished learning everything you were previously required to learn?"

She rubbed her cheeks to calm the blush.

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's question, Ouyang Ling confidently replied, "Of course I've finished learning it! I've memorized everything that was supposed to be memorized!"

In order to get the chance to consume whale glue, he studied relentlessly. Under the pretext of broadening his knowledge, he began to learn about pharmacology, thereby gaining an understanding of whale glue.

Then he can make reasonable demands.

"Yeah?"

Qian Renxue nodded, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Since you're so confident, then I'll test you."

Before Ouyang Ling could react, she posed a question she had prepared beforehand: "Little Ling, what are your thoughts on the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall? Share your opinion."

something is wrong,

Something is definitely not right!

Is this a sign that you're going to confront me?

Thoughts raced through his mind, and in that split second, Ouyang Ling gave the most concise answer: "The Spirit Hall benefits commoner spirit masters, while the Heaven Dou Empire benefits nobles."

It is unremarkable, yet it gets straight to the heart of the matter.

Qian Renxue's face showed astonishment.

She originally only wanted Ouyang Ling to give her a choice between two options, to see whose heart he favored.

Who would have thought…

This was truly unexpected for her.

Qian Renxue composed herself and looked seriously at her little brother: perhaps she couldn't treat him like an ordinary child.

Although Qian Renxue thought this way, she still asked the question she really wanted to know the answer to.

"So, do you prefer the Heaven Dou Empire or the Spirit Hall?"

However, Ouyang Ling's answer,

But this was once again beyond Qian Renxue's expectations.

"Of course it's you, sister."

Her still somewhat childish face now wore a serious expression. "Whichever sister likes, I like too. I'll choose the same one as sister."

For Ouyang Ling, it didn't matter which one he chose, because he had no sense of belonging.

When he first came into this world, he had no relatives or friends; this only changed over time.

Even now,

Aside from everyone in the village, the only places in his heart now belong to Ci Xue, who avenged the villagers; She Long, who saved him; and Xue Er, who saved him, adopted him, and raised him.

As for what they were thinking afterwards…

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions, isn't that right?

Besides, I had other motives from the beginning.

Regardless of what Ouyang Ling himself thought, at this moment, his words struck a chord with Qian Renxue once again, plunging her into a long silence.

I wonder how much time has passed?

Perhaps quite a long time has passed.

In the end, anyway, "...slippery."
