"Yanyan-jie, do you have any thoughts?" Qian Renyue asked worriedly, looking at the somewhat dispirited Dugu Yan.
"Yue-meimei, don't worry, I'm fine. I just can't let it go for the moment; it'll get better with time. I plan to go into seclusion in Sunset Forest with Grandpa. Only powerful strength won't betray me or abandon me. I must become stronger, and then defeat him in the Advanced Academy Soul Master Tournament so he regrets it!" Dugu Yan said with firm resolve.
"In that case, do you want to come to our Spirit Hall Academy?" Qian Renyue sincerely invited.
"Sure! I don't have anywhere to go now anyway, and I can't stay at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy anymore. In that case, I'll go to Spirit Hall Academy with you."
"Yanyan-jie, then what about your teammates from the Emperor Battle Team? Won't you miss them?"
Dugu Yan fell silent for a moment, sighed, and continued speaking to Qian Renyue:"Mm… back when I first condensed the Poison Pill my soul power had already reached Rank 40, and Grandpa helped me successfully hunt a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. Teacher Qin Ming also treated me as the trump card of the Emperor Battle Team, not easily revealing me. And since I was already a Soul Ancestor, I basically never joined them in team battles. Maybe because of that, we gradually drifted apart. And now… ai."At the end, Dugu Yan could only sigh deeply. Even friendship can be fated yet not destined.
Hearing this, Qian Renyue also couldn't find any comforting words."Yanyan-jie, if Spirit Hall decides to take action against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the future, what will happen between you and Yu Tianheng?"
"Since we've broken up, naturally there's no relationship anymore. The next time we meet, we'll just be strangers." Dugu Yan forced herself to answer coldly.
Seeing that Dugu Yan's soul power was still around Rank 42, Qian Renyue asked:"Yanyan-jie, you still haven't taken that immortal herb from before?"
"Grandpa told me to completely finish condensing my Poison Pill first before taking it. Now it should be about time."
"Then quickly take it. After you do, I'll tell you something." Qian Renyue said mysteriously.
"Alright."With that, Dugu Yan took out the Flood Dragon Soul Demon Fruit and ate it, then began meditating. Qian Renyue sat to the side guarding her.
Time flew by; in the blink of an eye the crescent moon was already high.
Dugu Yan opened her eyes, purple light flashing within them. Her whole aura became more enchanting and mysterious. Suddenly, Dugu Yan pounced onto Qian Renyue, hugging her tightly.
"My beloved Yue-meimei, big sister loves you to death."Saying this, she planted a loud kiss on Qian Renyue's cheek.
"Alright, alright—quickly tell me, how did it go?" Qian Renyue struggled to pry Dugu Yan off.
"First of all, my soul power increased by six ranks. I'm Rank 48 now. I just became a Soul Ancestor not long ago and I'm almost a Soul King already. Second, my Bilin Snake martial soul evolved! It evolved into the Bilin Jiao, and also gained an ability to control the water element."
"Congratulations, Yanyan-jie! If it's raining or there's a water source nearby, combined with your poison, wouldn't that practically give you a natural domain?" Qian Renyue said with pleasant surprise.
"Yes, thank you, Yueyue. I'm even more confident now that I'll personally defeat Yu Tianheng in the future." Dugu Yan said seriously.
What she owed Qian Renyue only grew: first the Poison Pill method that solved her family's decades-long problem and saved both her and her grandfather's lives, and now providing such an immortal herb to strengthen her.
"Why be so polite? Besides, that immortal herb belonged to your family anyway. I only borrowed a flower to offer to the Buddha."
Dugu Yan still shook her head."Yue-meimei, I truly want to join Spirit Hall—not because I'm angry at Yu Tianheng. Will you take me in?"
"Of course. I'm happy to become comrades with you." Qian Renyue thought for a moment, then told Dugu Yan about undergoing the Dual God Examinations and asked:"Yanyan-jie, the God Trials are dangerous, but the opportunities are great. Would you be willing to take the God Trials with me and Rongrong?"
"M-me too?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.
"Of course."
"Thank you, Yue-meimei."Dugu Yan hugged Qian Renyue; her voice was choked with emotion."Yue-meimei, I want to accept the trial of the God of Destruction. Is that okay?"
"The Dual God Trials are actually similar—both tempering oneself to the limits. The God of Life is the same, and even safer." Qian Renyue frowned, explaining the pros and cons.
"I know, but I'm not an auxiliary-type. Wanting to defeat the world's strongest assault-type beast martial soul isn't easy. 'God of Destruction'—just hearing the name sounds domineering. I can do it. If I fail, then it just means I'm incompetent."
Hearing Dugu Yan's reasoning, Qian Renyue couldn't refute it and could only agree.
She raised her hand and touched the nine-pointed star on her forehead. A violet glow radiated from Qian Renyue's body. Dugu Yan's gaze changed noticeably—Qian Renyue's violet pupils deepened, and a single glance made one feel as if they would sink into them.
Qian Renyue slowly raised her hand, extending two fingers to lightly tap Dugu Yan's forehead. Violet light flickered across Dugu Yan's body. Then, a deep, magnetic voice sounded:
"Dugu Yan, martial soul Bilin Jiao, Black-Level Six Trials.First Trial of the Black-Level Six Trials: Raise soul power to Soul King and cultivate in the core area of the Destruction Domain continuously for 100 hours."
When the light faded, Qian Renyue returned to normal, and a black six-pointed star appeared on Dugu Yan's forehead.
"Congratulations, Yanyan-jie—it's the Black-Level Six Trials." Qian Renyue said with a smile.
"No need to say too much thanks, Yue-meimei. I'm truly happy that I can fight side by side with you and Rongrong in the future." Dugu Yan hugged Qian Renyue again.
"Go let Senior Dugu know. We're going to the Worship Hall and then enter the God Trial Secret Realm to take the trials. We might be inside for a while."
"Okay, Yue'er wait for me! I'll go tell Grandpa. You have to wait for me!"Dugu Yan blew Qian Renyue a flying kiss before rushing off.
While Dugu Yan went to find Dugu Bo, Qian Renyue went to look for Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, the team battle for the Advanced Academy Soul Master Tournament is seven people, right?"Qian Renyue had started thinking about forming her own team. Because of the Shrek Team, she also wanted to build her own—teammates she could trust and entrust her back to.
"Yes, seven people for team battles. There originally were three-man and five-man team battles, but they were removed later. Only the solo battle, ring battle, and team battle remain."
"I want to form my own team, but right now my teammates are only Rongrong and Yanyan-jie. Elder Chrysanthemum, do you have any suggestions?" Qian Renyue asked sincerely.
"The Golden Generation of Spirit Hall Academy is pretty good, but Your Highness doesn't seem to have a great relationship with Nana…"Yue Guan looked a little troubled. After all, back then this little demon king used to bully Hu Liena all the time, even secretly ambushing her with sacks more than once. And he had helped mediate more than once.
Qian Renyue hesitated—not because Bibi Dong favored Hu Liena. Since Bibi Dong had reconciled with the sisters, she no longer got jealous of Hu Liena. But Qian Renyue remembered very clearly that for Tang San, Hu Liena had repeatedly caused Spirit Hall's plans to fail.Because of this, Qian Renyue doubted Hu Liena's loyalty.
"Forget it. I'll take the trials first, then discuss team formation with Rongrong and the others." Qian Renyue decided to think about it more. She hated love-brained people the most. That was the same reason she hadn't approached Zhu Zhuqing at Heaven Dou Academy this time. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing holding hands with Dai Mubai, Qian Renyue knew the words she had said to Zhu Zhuqing back then were all wasted. So she didn't bother anymore.
