This feeling of unwillingness filled Qian Renxue's heart, but she quickly recovered.
As a Genius with Innatespirit power level twenty, Qian Renxue believed in her talent. She was confident that she had only lost to Lu Yuan temporarily, and as long as she Cultivated diligently, she could catch up and even surpass Lu Yuan.
"I can sense that you didn't use all of your strength. If you had truly used all of your hidden power, the outcome of this Soul Duel would still be uncertain."
Through the battle just now, Lu Yuan had already sensed Qian Renxue's current specific spirit power, which was roughly between fifty-eight and fifty-nine, and she hadn't even made a Breakthrough to Spirit Emperor.
Such Cultivation truly betrayed her talent. If it weren't for her guaranteed position, Lu Yuan would genuinely doubt whether she could inherit the position of god of angels.
"To lose is to lose, and this Young Miss can afford to lose. However, this Young Miss will challenge you constantly from now on, so be prepared!"
Qian Renxue raised her chin high, revealing a proud expression.
Today's defeat had made her completely realize that wasting her talent on political affairs was simply a waste. She wanted to refocus her mind on Cultivation and let everyone witness the grace of the Angel Clan's Young Lord once again!
"I await you at any time. I hope to witness Miss Xue's true strength then!"
"Having disturbed you until now, it's time for me to return!"
"Please inform Big Brother Xue that I have some matters and will be leaving first. I hope he will forgive me!"
Lu Yuan smiled, immediately cupped his hands, and left the Crown Prince's Mansion under the gaze of Qian Renxue and Snake Lance Douluo.
"Uncle Snake Lance, do you think I've truly been foolish all these years, squandering my talent for the recognition of others, leading to a point where I can't even defeat Lu Yuan?"
Standing in front of the Crown Prince's Mansion's main gate, Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat dim. Looking at the departing figure, she shook her head and asked Uncle Snake Lance beside her in a somewhat cold tone.
"The Young Lord simply wanted to prove herself to His Holiness the Pope too much. Now that she has realized her mistake, within a few years, she will surely be able to Cultivate back the lost spirit power."
"Besides, the Young Lord didn't lose today. You haven't fully unleashed the power of the Seraphim. If you had truly given your all, just as Lu Yuan said, the outcome of victory and defeat would still be uncertain!"
Qian Renxue sighed, not softening because of Snake Lance Douluo's comfort. She secretly made a firm resolve in her heart to Cultivate as quickly as possible and strive to increase her spirit power.
Snake Lance Douluo secretly glanced at the wound on his palm, his eyes somewhat complex.
Was the outcome truly uncertain? He wasn't entirely sure.
He could only say that Lu Yuan was indeed worthy of being the Genius that the Young Lord valued. To possess such strength at such a young age, and even have a Spirit Bone!
With Snake Lance Douluo's discerning eye, he felt that Lu Yuan's right leg Spirit Bone was at least fifty thousand years old or more.
What a Genius, what an enviable Opportunity!
...Leaving the Crown Prince's Mansion, Lu Yuan did not return to Heaven Dou Royal Academy; instead, he headed towards the Seven Treasures Trading House.
In the battle with Qian Renxue just now, he was almost certain of victory, and Qian Renxue simply didn't have time to react to that final blow!
If it weren't for the appearance of Snake Lance Douluo, his water blade, even if it didn't directly defeat Qian Renxue, would have at least severely wounded her.
Even if the opponent truly unleashed her full power, Lu Yuan didn't believe he would lose. After all, her hidden trump cards were the Angelic Domain and the powerful SeraphimSpirit.
But if the opponent had hidden her strength in this battle, didn't he also have hidden strength?
With the Wind and Thunder Twin Wings, the Thunder God Domain, and the augmentation of the Twin Dragon King Spirit Bone, it seemed he had even more hidden abilities!
The Seven Treasures Trading House, a business invested in by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, collects treasures from all over the world. It is a place that a Spirit Master can hardly avoid entering in their lifetime.
As a key investment target of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Lu Yuan had a significant annual allowance.
However, in recent years, things that caught his eye were truly few and far between.
His reason for coming here today was simply because he had received a message.
The Seven Treasures Trading House had recently acquired a thunder magnetite and was even preparing to sell it!
thunder magnetite is a special treasure from outside the heavens, coveted by thunder-attribute Spirit Masters. A thunder magnetite the size of a fingernail can gather a magnetic field and draw down heavenly thunder, making it an unmissable item for thunder-attribute Spirit Masters.
"Young Master Lu, you've arrived!"
"You must be here for the thunder magnetite, right? The Sect Master specifically instructed us to keep it for you!"
As soon as Lu Yuan stepped into the Seven Treasures Trading House, a charming receptionist immediately greeted him. She wore a wine-red cheongsam, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.
"Uncle Ning has gone to a lot of trouble."
"Please take me there!"
Lu Yuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and spoke in a gentle voice.
In these years, after Lu Yuan displayed his talent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School began to invest in him. Although Lu Yuan knew that they invested because of his talent, he still appreciated the gesture.
In the Spirit Master's world, Lu Yuan believed that it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School posed no threat to him, so there was no need for him to form an enmity with them.
"The Sect Master often speaks of you to us, saying that you are our eternal friend."
"Please follow me this way!"
These women wearing cheongsams and working in the Seven Treasures Trading House were almost all collateral branches under the jurisdiction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After failing to Awaken their spirit power, they would be trained and then sent to various places on the continent to work for a living.
The woman in front of him was also like this, but the one responsible for receiving Lu Yuan actually emitted some spirit power fluctuations. Although not strong, it was at the level of a Spirit Elder, indicating that she should hold a managerial position here.
Soon, Lu Yuan, led by her, arrived at a secret chamber!
The secret chamber was very spacious, with only a fist-sized golden magnet placed on an exhibition stand!
Looking at the golden magnet, Lu Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
He could confirm that this was a thunder magnetite, but its color, different from the usual purple thunder magnetite, made him feel a bit confused.
"Young Master Lu, you may not know, but this thunder magnetite was recently found by our Seven Treasures Trading House in a special magnetic field within a thunder swamp. Its efficacy far surpasses that of ordinary thunder magnetite, and it is even imbued with some special power that even His Excellency Sword Douluo and His Excellency Bone Douluo could not analyze!"
"Finally, the Sect Master said that divine objects have Spirits and will choose their master, and clearly, your talent is the most suitable for this thunder magnetite."
Meeting Lu Yuan's puzzled gaze, the woman leading him also smiled slightly and immediately spoke.
Lu Yuan nodded, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. His Spirit actually had a slight reaction!
So, there was no need to say what power this thunder magnetite was imbued with!
