in rather elegant casual clothes, Xue Qinghe casually tossed her graduation certificate from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy onto the table.
With a shift in the effects of her soul bone, a stunningly beautiful girl appeared before Lin Yu, dressed in the casual clothes of a Heavenly Dou prince, with long, golden hair reaching her waist, fair skin, slightly elongated golden phoenix eyes, and exquisitely beautiful features, still somewhat youthful.
Transforming into her true form, Qian Renxue immediately sat down in a chair, stretching her developing figure with unparalleled ease, like a cat.
"Great! After more than two years at the academy, I finally managed to get this thing!"
Unlike her usual composure and calmness, Qian Renxue acted like a girl next door in front of Lin Yu, proudly waving her graduation certificate.
Since Qian Renxue was happy, Lin Yu was willing to play along.
A bitter expression appeared on Lin Yu's youthful, handsome face. "Congratulations, Young Master, on escaping this sea of suffering. But I'm not so lucky."
Qian Renxue smiled, her long, golden phoenix eyes sparkling. She patted Lin Yu's shoulder with her jade-like hand, like an older brother to a younger brother. "Don't worry, since I can leave this place, I will naturally rescue you one day!"
"Young Master, you're so kind. I have no way to repay you, I can only..."
"You don't need to be my slave. Your cultivation is still too low. You must focus on your studies. As for the future, as long as you can help me, that's fine."
A serious expression appeared on Qian Renxue's exquisitely beautiful face as she spoke earnestly to Lin Yu.
Seeing his handsome and adorable young master in this state, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile and chuckle. "Alright, I understand."
Seeing Lin Yu's barely suppressed amusement, a hint of doubt flashed in Qian Renxue's golden phoenix eyes, but she didn't dwell on it.
She then took out a rather antique-looking booklet.
Lin Yu took it and immediately noticed the emblem of the Angel Clan. He had only ever seen this on Qian Renxue's usual clothing; it was a symbol of the Angel Clan.
This booklet also bore such a mark, undoubtedly unique to the Qian family.
Lin Yu looked up, his eyes meeting those strikingly beautiful golden phoenix eyes. Qian Renxue smiled and ruffled Lin Yu's soft, smooth hair a few times. "Don't worry, it's just sword techniques practiced by ordinary clansmen. The others are sword techniques collected by Grandpa from other sword masters; they don't involve the core inheritance of the family."
Her words reassured Lin Yu.
Arrogance and prejudice exist in every world, and this is especially true on the Douluo Continent.
Qian Renxue naturally considered this when she taught it to Lin Yu.
Upon receiving the Douluo Continent sword techniques, Lin Yu eagerly opened them.
After quickly browsing through them, he discovered a significant flaw in the Douluo Continent's sword cultivation.
Similar to the Huashan Sect in a certain novel, where sword energy is divided into two factions, sword cultivators on the Douluo Continent are also clearly divided into two schools.

The most prominent example is the swordsmanship master led by Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who focuses on the sword itself, emphasizing swordsmanship as the essence.
Another approach, led by Qian Daoliu and closely followed by the Wind Sword Sect, prioritizes personal cultivation, using their own power and the sword in hand to adapt to any situation.
Both paths of swordsmanship have their peak achievers. Learning from others is invaluable;
the sword techniques in the book Qian Renxue gave him indeed provided Lin Yu with considerable inspiration.
Combining his Wudang heritage with some sword techniques from the Douluo Continent, Lin Yu gradually summarized the realms of sword cultivation, from lowest to highest: Subtlety, Sword Momentum, Sword Intent, Sword Domain, and Sword Realm!
(Adapted from Devouring)
In his previous life, Lin Yu's time cultivating the sword was limited to the few years he spent at Wudang; his swordsmanship realm was at most the Perfection of Sword Momentum, and only the next step could reach the threshold of Sword Intent.
"How is it? Not bad, right? Although these aren't our family's techniques, they're definitely top-tier in the Douluo Continent, only slightly inferior to our Angel Clan."
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly upward. "Yes, thank you, Young Master. But I'd also like to know what's been going on with Xue Luochuan lately."
The sword techniques in the book were quite impressive in the Douluo Continent, but for Lin Yu, they were only good for reference.
To avoid disappointing his young master, Lin Yu decisively changed the subject.
Xue Haicang's unexplained death directly pointed the finger at Xue Luochuan. Even if he hadn't done it, he had been relentlessly suppressing Xue Luochuan.
Xue Luochuan naturally came into Xue Ye's view as well. Since being threatened by Xue Ye yesterday, he had been quite frightened and had been hiding in his residence.
After hearing the news from Qian Renxue, Lin Yu pondered for a moment, "In a few more months, it'll be time for him to step down."
Having already used him to kill Xue Haicang, he naturally had no further use.
A soul-guided device on Lin Yu's wrist lit up, and a densely written sheet of paper was presented to Qian Renxue. "This is for Xue Luochuan. I'm troubling you, Young Master. If he eats like this, he'll surely die within three months!"
Taking the next "recipe" for Xue Luochuan from Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, though already aware of it, still felt a pang of fear, saying, "Before, I only heard my grandfather say that these delicacies shouldn't be eaten indiscriminately, otherwise there would be bad effects. Who would have thought they could become a killing machine!"
Her young master's extravagant and inhumane words were indeed... Lin Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Ordinary food has been domesticated for countless years. Although there may be slight restraint, we can't talk about toxicity without considering dosage. If consumed normally, even if you eat until you die of overeating, there won't be any problems.
But Xue Luochuan, as a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, is naturally different from ordinary people. Everything he eats is a natural treasure from the Soul Beast Forest, which can be called medicinal herbs.
The Grand Elder, an old man who has cultivated to the top of the mortal world, has suffered losses and may know a thing or two, but that's all he knows. Even the Grand Elder himself doesn't know the specifics, let alone the ordinary healing soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Yes, that's true. But I admire you quite a bit; you actually managed to organize such a system. I'll be leaving here in a few days, and all the food I eat will be recorded. You'd better keep a close eye on it for me. If anyone harbors ill intentions and tries to turn me into that inhuman, ghost-like figure like Xue Luochuan, you'd better watch out, hmph!"
Qian Renxue gestured with her delicate, fair fist at Lin Yu, then used her soul bone to transform into the likeness of Xue Qinghe and slowly walked out of Lin Yu's house.
