Chapter 73: Qian Renxue's Interest
The night was deep, and deep in the Heaven Dou Empire's palace, the warm light was still on in the study of the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe".
"Xue Qinghe" was sitting behind the desk, his slender white fingers gently tapping on a secret report just presented by Snake Spear Douluo.
The content of the secret report was exactly about the conflict that took place at the gate of Blue Tyrant Academy today, shocking the entire upper echelons of Heaven Dou City:
The mysterious young man, as a Soul King, challenged Yu Nanyang, the Soul Douluo elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and both were injured in the end!
She was not alone in the study.
The Porcupine Douluo with a cold aura and the Snake Spear Douluo standing beside him, two powerful Titled Douluo-level warriors, were now waiting for her reaction.
"Soul King level, and Yu Nanyang at level 81, both sides were injured..."
Xue Qinghe softly repeated the key information from the secret report, her voice gentle and calm, "The first Spirit ring is a thousand years old, the fourth Spirit ring is an unprecedented ice blue, and the fifth Spirit ring is scarlet gold...
It is suspected that it possesses powerful devouring Spirit skills and ultimate attribute effects... Haha, interesting, really interesting."
She raised her eyes and looked at Snake Spear Douluo, her gaze clear: "Elder Yu, has this information been verified? Is there any exaggeration?"
She was well aware of the importance of intelligence work, especially such incredible information.
Snake Spear Douluo Yu Long bowed slightly and spoke in a steady voice, "Reporting to the young master, the information has been cross-verified from multiple sources, including our spies planted near the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and Blue Tyrant Academy.
There were many witnesses to the battle scene, and although the details may differ slightly, the core information - the Soul King's cultivation level, the peculiar type of Spirit ring, and the result of both sides suffering losses with Yu Nanyang - are basically true.
Yu Nanyang did return with internal injuries, and the young man named Xiao Yin was also seriously injured and unconscious, and was taken by Liu Erlong to the depths of the Academy for treatment."
"Xue Qinghe" - no, Qian Renxue's fingertips paused, and a hint of real surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She originally thought that it might be a bit exaggerated, such as with the help of some special Spirit guide device, but she didn't expect that he could actually do it with his own strength.
"If that's the case... this kid is definitely not an ordinary person."
She spoke slowly, her tone thick with interest, "To possess such an extraordinary Spirit ring ratio, his Spirit must be extremely special and powerful, perhaps even... the prototype of a god-level Spirit? The opportunities he has obtained are probably far beyond imagination. If I can use them..."
"Young Master, I think there might be something else fishy going on here."
The Porcupine Douluo Cixue beside him suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, questioning, "The gap between Soul King and Soul Douluo is like a chasm.
Even though his Spirit ring configuration is strange and has the ability to devour, the total amount and quality of his Spirit power is an insurmountable gap.
Although the old fellow Yu Nanyang's strength is not the best among Soul Douluo, he is not someone that a Soul King can shake.
In my opinion, it is most likely that the woman Liu Erlong secretly helped, or this guy used some one-time forbidden secret technique or treasure to create the illusion that both sides were injured.
Its potential may not be as exaggerated as the intelligence suggests."
Snake Spear Douluo frowned slightly and retorted, "Brother Cixue, the residual energy at the scene cannot be faked.
The extreme icy attribute and the subsequent terrifying hot explosive energy are of an extremely high level, which cannot be achieved by ordinary Spirit skills or secret techniques.
Although Liu Erlong was present at the time, according to reports from her spies, she did not directly participate in the fight against Yu Nanyang.
This boy...I'm afraid he really has a trump card and strength that we can't understand."
Porcupine Douluo snorted coldly: "Even so, this kind of power obtained by strange means often has an unstable foundation or comes at a huge cost.
The fact that he's seriously injured and unconscious is proof of that. Is it worth your personal attention, or even the risk of contact, for a kid who could be a serious threat?
He has now completely offended the Yu Luomian branch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and is in serious trouble."
Qian Renxue listened to the argument between the two Titled Douluo, her face still maintaining the gentle demeanor of a prince, but her mind was already racing.
Porcupine's concerns were justified, but Snake Spear's judgment and the detailed intelligence made her more inclined to believe in the uniqueness of Xiao Yin.
The Spirit ring that goes beyond common sense, the ability to fight across levels, the suspected twin extreme attributes... every point aroused her great curiosity.
As the inheritor of the Angel God, she knows better than anyone what "special" means.
"What the two elders said makes sense."
Qian Renxue spoke slowly, interrupting their argument. She picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip gently, her movements graceful. "This child is indeed full of uncertainty, and being at odds with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family is also a problem. But..."
She put down her teacup, her gaze becoming deep and sharp. "Risks often go hand in hand with opportunities. The value behind a genius who possesses such combat power at the Soul King level is worth the risk."
Even if he does have hidden dangers, or is relying on external resources, isn't this 'external resource' in itself extremely valuable intelligence?"
She looked at Snake Spear Douluo: "Elder Yu, continue to pay close attention to the movements of Blue Tyrant Academy and Xiao Yin, especially his recovery from his injuries.
Try to collect all the information about his Spirit, Spirit skills, and past.
Be careful and stay absolutely hidden."
"Yes, young master." Snake Spear Douluo bowed and accepted the order.
Qian Renxue looked at Porcupine Douluo again and smiled, "Elder Cixue's caution is also for my own good. It's indeed not appropriate to rush into contact, and it's certainly not appropriate for us to be directly involved.
Perhaps... we can approach it from another angle."
Her slender fingers unconsciously drew circles on the desk, and several thoughts flashed through her mind: accident? Or... arrange a "chance encounter"?
"If we can recruit such a person, he will be a great help in the future. Even if we can't, at least we can't let him become an enemy, or... be taken away by someone else."
Qian Renxue's voice was soft, yet it carried an unquestionable determination. "Let's observe for now and wait for the right opportunity. I need to understand him better... and then decide how to play this game."
Under the light, a faint smile appeared on the corner of "Xue Qinghe's" mouth.
Xiao Yin...I've got this name in mind.
-----------------
At the same time, deep in the Thunder Canyon, inside a magnificent palace.
The lights in the study were bright, but the atmosphere was depressing.
Yu Nanyang's face was pale, his breath was weak, and he still had internal injuries that had not fully recovered. He was standing below with his back hunched.
Beside him were Yuheng, who was more seriously injured, and Yu Ji, who was being supported.
The three of them no longer had the arrogance they had when they went to Blue Tyrant Academy, and were left in a state of disgrace.
Behind the desk, there was a person sitting upright.
He looked to be around fifty or sixty years old, and his face was vaguely similar to Liu Erlong, but his brows were filled with sinisterness and the majesty of having been in a high position for a long time.
The aura around him was deep and heavy, far surpassing that of Yu Nanyang. He was none other than Yu Luomian, the second master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and Liu Erlong's biological father.
