*Smack!*
While Qian Renshang was still immersed in joy, he was struck heavily on the back of the head.
He turned around in a daze and saw Gu Yuena's furious face.
"Qian Renshang, do you want to die?"
"Do you know how high the risk is of fusing a spirit ring of over 200,000 years in one go?
If the fusion fails, you'll die… do you know that?"
"You just like trying to get rich quick, what's your rush?"
Gu Yuena practically shouted. Qian Renshang's condition had been truly dangerous; fusing a 100,000-year spirit ring was no joke.
The slightest mistake meant death!
Every time a spirit master fuses a spirit ring, they are pushing their limits, but none have ever made such a huge leap as Qian Renshang's.
He was only a seven-ring spirit master!
"Sister Nana!"
Qian Renshang was about to explain, but Gu Yuena turned her head away, clearly not intending to listen.
Qian Renshang had really angered her.
Seeing Gu Yuena sulking, Qian Renshang was helpless.
He smiled bitterly and said,
"I am indeed in a hurry... because I want to become a god.
I need to lay a solid foundation for each of my soul rings before I can become a god!"
"So I have no other choice!"
"Become a god?
Why are you in such a hurry to become a god?"
Gu Yuena didn't turn around but still asked. Qian Renshang replied,
"I want to become a god... and then be with you. Human lifespan is too short.
A hundred years is just a blink of an eye for you soul beasts."
"As a human, I can only be with you for a hundred years at most... what will happen after a hundred years?"
Qian Renshang's tone was somewhat low.
"I don't want to be a passerby in Sister Nana's life... I want to be with you for a lifetime!"
A lifetime!
Gu Yuena's eyes widened instantly as she turned to stare at Qian Renshang.
The boy's serious expression was still there. Gu Yuena was dumbfounded.
She never expected that Qian Renshang's desperate attempt to fuse with a 200,000-year-old soul ring was actually to lay the foundation for becoming a god, and then to accompany her.
"Qian Renshang..."
Gu Yuena reached out and tugged at Qian Renshang's face.
"You're hopeless... all for me?"
"That's right, all for you!"
Qian Renshang stared at Gu Yuena with burning eyes, his gaze undisguised.
In the past few days, he had completely realized that he couldn't live without her.
So he wanted to be bolder!
"You..."
Gu Yuena's cheeks flushed red as she watched Qian Renshang get closer and closer, his lips almost touching hers.
Gu Yuena's mind was a mess. She wasn't stupid; she could naturally see Qian Renshang's feelings for her. In the past few days, Gu Yuena had been constantly asking herself,
what exactly were her feelings for Qian Renshang?
Gu Yuena had naively thought it was familial love, but later she gradually realized it wasn't... She began to care about everything about him.
She seemed to like him too!
"What a tragedy..."
Gu Yuena smiled bitterly to herself.
She still had a mission, the mission of leading the soul beast clan into the God Realm.
"Qian Renshang... calm down..."
Gu Yuena turned her head to avoid Qian Renshang's "attack," ultimately letting reason prevail over emotion.
She was the ruler of all soul beasts and couldn't be obsessed with romantic feelings.
Most importantly, the God Realm had always wanted to kill her; if they discovered she was with Qian Renshang, he might very well be finished.
Seeing Gu Yuena dodge, Qian Renshang felt a pang of disappointment... "Did I fail again?"
Qian Renshang thought to himself, feeling insecure.
He was wavering again about Gu Yuena's feelings for him!
The room was eerily quiet, the atmosphere somewhat strange.
However, in this tranquil atmosphere, the two seemed to simultaneously sense an unusual fluctuation.
It was an indescribable intuition that instantly made them feel uneasy.
Their expressions changed slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.
Qian Renshang frowned, and without hesitation, stepped out of the room.
His figure moved with lightning speed, instantly disappearing from the spot.
"Sister Nana... wait here, I'll be right back!"
Qian Renshang, not forgetting to remind him, left the room.
Relying on his keen senses, he sped towards the artificial hill of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy at incredible speed.
His clothes fluttered in the wind, his steps so fast they were almost invisible.
The wind whistled past his ears, and the surrounding scenery rushed by.
Qian Renshang's expression was extremely grim.
He had just been in his room when a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Come quickly, behind the artificial hill of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"Otherwise…"
A strong sense of threat emanated from the voice.
But that wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that the other party had been able to use mental power to infiltrate his spiritual sea undetected.
This was simply outrageous!
Although Qian Renshang's soul power was only around level 70, his mental power was comparable to that of a typical Title Douluo!
This was a formidable enemy!
With a grave expression, Qian Renshang quickly arrived at the artificial hill of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
A mysterious aura permeated the area around the artificial hill, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Qian Renshang arrived at the artificial hill of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy like the wind.
The area was overgrown with weeds, and the only sound was the occasional gust of wind; it was indeed a secluded place, rarely visited by anyone.
Just as he steadied himself and prepared to investigate the surroundings, a black-robed figure appeared silently before him.
The black-robed figure seemed to emerge directly from the darkness, emanating a mysterious and eerie aura.
His black robe swayed gently in the breeze, yet his face remained obscured, as if shrouded in a mist.
"You are Qian Renshang, aren't you?"
He asked, his voice deep and carrying an inexplicable meaning.
Qian Renshang's heart tightened, his eyes instantly sharpening, and his soul power involuntarily surged as he secretly wary of the enigmatic black-robed figure before him.
Qian Renshang looked at the black-robed figure and said in a deep voice,
"You are from the Spirit Hall!"
The black-robed figure did not answer, but simply observed Qian Renshang quietly, nodding occasionally.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken with the appearance of the black-robed man.
Qian Renshang stared intently at him, not daring to be careless in the slightest, secretly trying to figure out the man's intentions and identity.
Qian Renshang and the black-robed man stood facing each other, the atmosphere tense to the extreme, as if even the air itself had solidified.
"Hold me for twenty rounds... and I won't make things difficult for you or your little girlfriend," the black-robed man suddenly said, his voice brimming with confidence.
"Fine, but please remember to keep your word, senior!"
Qian Renshang's expression turned grave.
He had already sensed that this black-robed man's strength was unfathomable, far surpassing the Porcupine Douluo he had encountered before!
Twenty rounds was no exaggeration!
"Senior... please enlighten me!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Renshang directly released his Martial Soul!
Roar!
