[Main Quest · Fourth Ring: Estrangement.
Task Content: Instigate conflict between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, making them mortal enemies.
Task Reward: Final settlement bonus increased by 20%.]
In the end, Su Cheng still did not choose to take risks.
If he further strengthened the Spirit Hall's power, the current favorable situation would inevitably slip out of control.
With his own strength insufficient, blind confidence could easily result in failure.
After all, compared to those two who could inherit divine seats, Su Cheng's actual combat power was far weaker.
[After reaching a surface-level consensus with Bibi Dong, you had little interaction afterward. Of course, your secret observation and testing did not decrease; you were fully aware of this—it was mutual tacit understanding. You understood that it was not yet time to overturn the table.]
[From that day, Qian Renxue began following you constantly for study. Whether it was planning cultivation schedules, allocating resources to improve spirit power and soul power, or selecting books to broaden her knowledge, you arranged everything for her.]
[As your relationship deepened, Qian Renxue had long told you about her relationship with Bibi Dong. Since then, you became the only person she could confide in to release her suppressed emotions.]
[For Qian Renxue, whose father had passed away, whose mother was indifferent, and who had no friends since childhood, you were perhaps more than just her teacher—you were her lighthouse, her emotional anchor. Yet you knew that in the future the two of you would inevitably face each other in battle, so you restrained your feelings, treating her as a tool in hand.]
[Your Fourth Spirit Ring theory was also published across the continent. Qian Renxue told you that in the theory, published in the name of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong not only did not mention your contribution but, for some unknown reason, titled the theory The Core Competitiveness of the Fourth Spirit Ring.]
"Damn, that's outrageous. Deliberately trying to disgust me here, huh? You really have some nerve, Bibi Dong."
Although this part of the storyline was fast-forwarded and not under Su Cheng's control, everything that happened was no different from his own experiences. A series of scenes remained firmly in his mind.
The work's authorship was under the Spirit Hall. He didn't mind; it had long been promised to Bibi Dong. Perhaps it was related to her background; she was rarely generous except toward a select few.
But seeing the theory's title, Su Cheng could not hold back.
Everything in the life simulation was based on environmental changes, character personalities, and other real factors.
Unless Su Cheng, as the simulation's core, made a key choice, events would unfold according to the most probable outcomes.
In other words, Bibi Dong's action reflected her true psychology—her most likely behavior under the current circumstances.
[Besides Qian Renxue, sometimes you also taught at the Spirit Hall Academy, explaining foundational human theories, soul skill applications, and other knowledge. The younger generation of the Spirit Hall Academy knew your true achievements and respected you greatly. Of course, as compensation for your teaching, the Spirit Hall provided many conveniences, such as assisting in hunting soul beasts, collecting herbs, or aiding in your Spirit research.]
[Thanks to this, your research on spirit beasts also made significant progress, and you developed more ideas for solving the malignant mutation of your own spirit.]
[During this period, Dugu Bo came to visit you in Spirit City. His son was critically poisoned by the family-inherited beast spirit, the Biling Snake Venom, and he hoped you could treat him. With your current medical skills, handling this type of venom would not be difficult, but you did not fully cure Dugu Bo's son; you merely temporarily suppressed the poison and informed him that a cure required finding a place with dual ice-and-fire energies, extreme cold and heat coexisting. At that time, Dugu Bo had collected many herbs to save his son but had not yet found the Ice-Fire Twin Eye location, so he left after obtaining your information.]
[Three years passed. Under your guidance, Qian Renxue successfully cultivated her soul power to level 40, with a solid foundation and profound spirit power, easily able to absorb soul rings over ten thousand years old.]
[Coincidentally, during this time, with the help of various spiritual medicinal resources provided by the Spirit Hall, your soul power also broke through to level 30—far faster than you expected.]
The fast-forwarded scenes ended, and a familiar feeling returned. Su Cheng's mind trembled slightly as he returned to his physical body.
He was sitting at his desk in his room, and beside him stood a blonde girl, lively and energetic.
Nurtured by spirit power, Qian Renxue now radiated youthful energy like a fresh sprout, no trace of her previous awkwardness.
There was no denying that the Spirit Masters in this world developed at speeds ordinary people could not match. Although just over twelve years old, she already appeared sixteen or seventeen.
Although the two had spent much time together in the simulation, seeing her in reality still left Su Cheng slightly stunned.
Her graceful curves were alluring, her fair and delicate face framed by phoenix-like eyes brimming with emotion, her lips slightly parted, her voice now mature and confident.
"Teacher, I'm already level 40. Why are you only at level 30?"
"Heh, what's there to be proud of? Wait a couple more years and you'll see." Su Cheng averted his gaze casually.
"?" Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned.
Her words were meant to tease; she knew very well about Su Cheng's poor talent.
But from the teacher's expression, it seemed he had some hidden card.
"Level 40 in three years isn't impressive. In another two years, I can get you to level 50."
"..."
Qian Renxue finally realized he meant her, and felt both speechless and a little proud. "Heh, without me, what would you do?"
"Enough, anyone else would teach the same way."
Knock, knock, knock.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in, it's not closed."
The door opened, and a black-haired girl stepped inside.
At first glance, she did not appear particularly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, she radiated an unusual charm. Her figure was even more striking, with pronounced curves, perhaps even surpassing Qian Renxue, who was three years older.
The visitor was Huliena, now studying at the Spirit Hall Academy.
"Teacher, I'm here."
Though still young, her voice carried a slight huskiness with a distinct charm.
"See, now there's someone," Su Cheng said, raising his eyebrows slightly at Qian Renxue standing nearby.
"Nana, you cannot call him teacher. He's not your teacher; your teacher is the Archbishop," Qian Renxue stepped forward, smiling sweetly, meeting Huliena's eyes.
