Douluo Dalu (Soul Land): Star-Breaking Sword God

Soul Land—Chapter 131: Golden Generation, Hu Liena

"That's a very appropriate name," Qian Daoliu nodded. If this method succeeds, he thought, the overall strength of the Titled Douluo will rise by several levels.

'With this thing, the Golden Crocodile can most likely directly enter the realm of the Ultimate Douluo. However, the condensation of this thing requires a perfect theory.'

'The risk of embarking on a new path is not small. At present, it seems that Qian Yao, the brat, maybe the first to succeed.'

'The liquid star vortex in his body is very strange as if it is destined to evolve into the soul core,' Qian Daoliu murmured in his heart.

Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows proudly and asked Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa, what do you think of Qianyao now?"

Qian Daoliu was startled, his eyes fell on Qian Renxue. Seeing her showing off, he shook his head helplessly. "Great, great. Okay, you."

"Are you ready to compile a theory?" Qian Daoliu asked.

Ling Qianyao shook his head. "Before it is completely perfected and successful, I don't want to expose it to the outside world in advance. Besides, Grandpa, do you think this kind of cultivation method can be easily revealed to outsiders?"

Qian Daoliu was stunned, then nodded. Now that the Spirit Hall has ambitions, although he usually ignores these things, he also knows there were undercurrents behind it. It was better not to leak this Soul Core method.

In this case, what did this guy mean by revealing it to him in advance? 

Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Renxue, and his mouth twitched. Could this brat be using this as a betrothal gift, and by the way, showing that he had enough strength and qualifications to marry his granddaughter? This evil kid!

"Grandpa, will you have dinner with us tonight? Qianyao will be the chef."

Qian Daoliu was stunned for a moment, then responded gently, "Okay."

That night, after visiting several other worshippers, Qian Renxue appeared in the residence within the core area of the Spirit Hall for a long time.

The seven great worshippers—including Golden Crocodile, Qing Luan, Xiong Shi, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Qian Daoliu—all arrived and were seated in the spacious dining room.

The atmosphere was a little restrained; after all, it was rare to have such a gathering on weekdays.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was still in seclusion. When he heard that Qian Renxue had returned with a grandson-in-law, he immediately came out of seclusion.

"This dish looks quite good. If it doesn't taste good, don't blame me for not giving you face," Golden Crocodile Douluo said in a rough voice, staring with tiger-like eyes at Ling Qianyao with a very unfriendly look.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile!" Qian Renxue shouted in dissatisfaction.

The old man snorted lightly and turned his attention to the food on the table. He picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth. His expression instantly eased. After chewing a few times, his eyes lit up slightly. It tasted good!

He couldn't help but pick up a few more chopsticks, muttering while eating: "This kid has some skills. His cooking skills are barely acceptable. Xiaoxue is not at a disadvantage."

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him unhappily.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere grew more harmonious. Several priests who had been in the room gradually opened up their conversations under the influence of alcohol.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the storage rings given by the priests in her hand and smiled. "That's great."

There was no difficulty as expected, and the priests accepted Zhu Zhuqing's presence very leniently.

The young Guangling Douluo waved to Ling Qianyao at the door. Ling Qianyao was startled, got up, and followed Guangling Douluo out.

Qian Renxue pulled his sleeve. "Be careful, don't make Grandpa Guangling angry. He's not only young in appearance but also young at heart."

The two walked into the courtyard, Guangling Douluo in front and Ling Qianyao behind.

"Little boy, you're so lucky. Xue'er is arrogant and proud, and Zhu Zhuqing is also cold and aloof. They both have deep feelings for you," Guangling Douluo suddenly stopped, turned around, touched his chin, and smiled. 

"The beautiful girl is interested, this junior will naturally cherish them."

"Hehe," Guangling Douluo crossed his arms and looked Ling Qianyao up and down. "Love in this world is the most unpredictable. Xue'er's childhood was not smooth, and Zhuqing also looks cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Once she decides on something, she won't change her mind easily."

"If you want to keep them for a long time, don't just seek temporary gentleness."

"I'm ready. If there's a storm, I will be their safe haven."

Guangling Douluo smiled and waved his hand. "Don't exaggerate your role too much. People are independent. Don't let them rely on you too much."

"Junior understands."

"Good, go."

Back in the house, several worshippers had left one after another. Qian Daoliu was being pulled by Qian Renxue and was being told something.

Qian Daoliu's face was a little solemn, with a thoughtful look between his brows.

"Grandpa, I understand. The Snake Lance Douluo and the Porcupinefish Douluo will stay with you. I will arrange another worshipper. Additionally, you come to the Elder Hall tomorrow. I have a new soul bone to give you."

Qian Renxue nodded.

A few minutes later, Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Grandpa, um, we need to rest."

We? Qian Daoliu twitched his mouth, glared at Ling Qianyao, and left, leaving him a voice transmission: "You better be careful brat!"

——

Two days later, the Pope's Hall.

"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope."

"Hello, teacher."

Sitting on the Pope's throne, Bibi Dong looked majestically at Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, who bowed below.

She raised her hand gently, signaling the three to stand up, and then slowly said, "This time the mission was completed well. Afterward, go to the treasury to choose a suitable soul guidance device each, and you can go to the mission hall to receive resources—this is your reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well, remember to prepare when you go back and stay in good spirits. The Heaven Dou Empire has sent Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to discuss the crusade against the fallen soul masters."

"This crown prince has a competitive heart and has brought two talented soul masters who recently rose in the Heaven Dou Empire, trying to challenge your Golden Generation."

"Tomorrow, do not take it lightly."

Hu Liena's lips curled into a confident smile, her eyes full of fighting spirit. "Teacher, don't worry. No matter what kind of genius soul master Xue Qinghe brings, we will let them know how powerful the Spirit Hall is."

"Please rest assured, Your Holiness." 

"Well, just do your best."

Bibi Dong waved her hand to signal Xie Yue and Yan to withdraw. After the two disappeared behind the palace gate, her eyes softened slightly. She looked at Hu Liena and gently patted the chair beside her. "Nana, come and sit."

Hu Liena obediently came forward and sat beside Bibi Dong, a hint of curiosity and concern in her eyes. "Teacher, you left me alone, but do you have something important to tell me?"

Bibi Dong looked up, her eyes dazed for a moment.

The little girl who once cried in front of her had now grown up, with a perfect figure and a more graceful demeanor against the backdrop of luxurious clothes, a delicate face, and a hint of charm.
