Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye!
In these three years, Qian Renshang has kept his promise, feeding Gu Yuena blood every now and then to maintain her vital signs.
If it weren't for Bi Ji stopping him, Qian Renshang might have fed Gu Yuena blood every day.
Of course, Di Tian and the others were not stingy either.
After each time Qian Renshang finished feeding her blood, they would give her a lot of tonics, almost without regard to cost.
In these three years, Qian Renshang's selfless dedication moved all the Beast Kings, so these Beast Kings truly became Qian Renshang's friends, even elders.
Inside a bright little room!
A six-year-old boy was pale, but exuded a stubbornness and determination.
He sat quietly by the bed. Beside him, a silver-haired girl was still asleep, her beautiful face now extremely pale.
It was Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena, who were now six years old.
As usual, Qian Renshang had just finished feeding Gu Yuena his blood, his arms bearing a mix of old and new wounds.
For three years, this had been his daily routine.
Since the age of three, Qian Renshang had continuously nourished Gu Yuena with his own blood, hoping for a miracle.
His eyes were filled with anticipation, his gaze fixed on Gu Yuena, as if she would open her eyes at any moment.
A heavy atmosphere filled the room, broken only by Qian Renshang's soft breathing.
He reached out his small hand and gently stroked Gu Yuena's face, murmuring, "Sister Nana, please wake up, Xiaoshang really misses you..."
His childish voice echoed in the silent room, carrying endless longing and unwavering faith.
But... Gu Yuena remained unresponsive, like a sleeping beauty.
"Xiao Shang...stop the bleeding quickly, then drink this."
A gentle female voice came from the side.
It was a graceful woman in a green dress, none other than Bi Ji.
She held a small golden water jug containing the Fountain of Life.
"Thank you, Aunt Bi Ji."
Qian Ren Shang took the jug and drank it all in one gulp, his face regaining a little color.
"From now on, you only need to come once every seven days.
The master's condition has stabilized a lot."
Bi Ji reminded him, but Qian Ren Shang shook his head.
"That's too long...I want Sister Nana to wake up sooner. It's the same as before, once every three days."
Qian Ren Shang's little face was full of stubbornness and determination, and Bi Ji sighed helplessly.
This little guy is still so stubborn!
Bi Ji's gaze was filled with complex emotions as she quietly stared at Qian Ren Shang.
He was still wearing that pure white robe, and his appearance was almost unchanged from three years ago.
His golden hair shimmered, his emerald eyes sparkled like jewels, and his brows revealed a gentle yet stubborn air.
However, what pained Bi Ji most was that Qian Renshang was now six years old, yet his stature remained as small as ever, at most resembling a four-year-old.
The passage of time seemed to have left no mark on him, instead making him appear even more fragile and lonely.
Every few days, he had to give blood to Gu Yuena, and even with the aid of various rare and precious herbs, this still had a significant impact on Qian Renshang's body; his development might be much slower than that of a normal child!
"Little Shang, you're six years old this year, aren't you?"
Bi Ji asked, watching Qian Renshang giving Gu Yuena a massage.
"I think so, but I can't quite remember,"
Qian Renshang replied without turning his head, prompting Bi Ji to remind him.
"Six years old should be the time for you humans to awaken your martial soul.
Today I had Di Tian and the others go to the human world to prepare the things needed for awakening your martial soul.
You can awaken your martial soul today."
"Awaken my martial soul?"
Qian Renshang finally raised his head. Had it really come to this point?
Having transmigrated to Douluo Continent for so long, it would be a lie to say he wasn't looking forward to awakening his martial soul.
Qian Renshang also wanted to awaken a powerful martial soul so that in the future... he could protect Sister Nana!
"Okay, I want to awaken my martial soul!"
Qian Renshang looked intently at Bi Ji and said.
...
Half an hour later, after Qian Renshang finished massaging Gu Yuena, he finally came out to the Lake of Life.
Di Tian and the others were already waiting there.
After a brief greeting with Qian Renshang, Xiong Jun crossed his arms and looked on with curiosity.
"Kid, I'm genuinely curious what kind of martial soul you'll awaken?
I feel you're quite capable,"
the Demon King said .
"It's said that human martial souls are inherited through bloodlines, so this child will probably inherit his parents' martial souls."
"His parents' martial souls?"
The Beast Kings' expressions became somewhat subtle upon hearing about Qian Renshang's parents, because Qian Renshang hadn't actually told them their true identities.
According to them, it was because he was afraid they would retaliate; Qian Renshang no longer wanted to be associated with Bibi Dong and the others.
"Why say so much now? You'll know once you successfully awaken it,"
Di Tian finally interrupted Xiong Jun and the others' discussion.
He looked at Qian Renshang, his expression unusually kind.
Over the past three years, Qian Renshang had completely earned his approval!
"Kid... I hope you can awaken a powerful martial soul,"
Di Tian said earnestly, placing a large hand on Qian Renshang's shoulder.
"Thank you, Uncle Di Tian,"
Qian Renshang's bright eyes crinkled with laughter.
"Come forward... and slowly guide your power..."
Di Tian began to guide Qian Renshang in awakening his martial soul.
Qian Renshang, with his talent, quickly entered the state.
He stepped into the magic circle, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his entire aura began to change.
Di Tian and the others looked at Qian Renshang with anticipation.
They were genuinely curious about what martial soul Qian Renshang would awaken.
"This child came to our Star Dou Great Forest, possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King... and has such a great entanglement with our lord. I think there must be a destiny at play here." "
This child's future is definitely extraordinary; perhaps he can achieve things we can hardly imagine."
Di Tian suddenly spoke, expressing his admiration for Qian Renshang.
Xiong Jun, standing to the side, was full of surprise.
"I didn't expect Di Tian to have such a high opinion of this child?"
Xiong Jun knew how proud Di Tian was; in his eyes, apart from their lord, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, almost no one was worthy of his attention.
But this child can actually do it today!
"I've never seen a human who can consistently draw blood to save lives for three years, rain or shine.
Even if his martial soul isn't ideal now, he's destined for greatness."
Di Tian said calmly, his hands behind his back.
Xiong Jun was about to say something when Di Tian suddenly interrupted him in a deep voice,
"Don't make a sound, this child's martial soul awakening has begun..."
