: Rumors of Heavenly Struggle, Demonic Concubine and Male Concubine

[You're a little afraid that Qian Renxue will silence you, and in fact, the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo, hiding in the shadows, do indeed want to kill you, the one who bewitched their young master.]

Thankfully, Qian Renxue didn't intend to silence you. After revealing her identity, she confessed her feelings to you.

You nodded in agreement without hesitation, after all, you didn't want to go into the secret room.

[You've already secretly peeked at the secret room Qian Renxue prepared, but you don't really want to experience it.]

Since confirming their relationship, Qian Renxue, who used to be somewhat reserved, has completely dropped her pretense. She clings to you all the time and takes you everywhere. Rumors of your forbidden love have gradually spread throughout Tiandou City.

Xue Qinghe became a virtuous prince who was bewitched and corrupted by a "femme fatale's male concubine," while you became the "male concubine" who bewitched people. Every time Xue Ke saw you, her face was full of heartache and pain, and she said she would definitely save you.

[Until you joined the Heaven Dou Royal Family Advanced Soul Master Academy and your strength was revealed—a level 35 Soul Master at the age of twelve, a super genius with the potential to become a Title Douluo in the future—the rumors about you and Xue Qinghe gradually subsided.]

You were still somewhat disappointed, after all, your talent was higher in the first simulation.

[You joined the first team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, met Dugu Yan, and remembered Dugu Bo's herb garden.]

You told Qian Renxue about the herb garden, and Qian Renxue agreed to your request. After some disguise, she went to Sunset Forest with you, along with Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.

This time, you didn't even need to bother searching for the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The two Super Douluos, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, attacked together and easily subdued the leisurely Poison Douluo. Especially Porcupine Douluo, who was completely immune to toxins due to his martial soul's unique characteristics, completely overwhelmed Poison Douluo, leaving him utterly helpless.

With the Poison Douluo as their master, you easily found the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, passed through the poison barrier, and saw the immortal herb.

Because Chrysanthemum Douluo is Pope Bibi Dong's man, Qian Renxue doesn't trust him. Therefore, before he is completely won over and subdued, Qian Renxue doesn't plan to let Chrysanthemum Douluo come to identify the immortal herbs.

[You still consumed several immortal herbs that were beneficial to you, and you also gave Qian Renxue an Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and a Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower. The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo also consumed immortal herbs suitable for them.]

[Your soul power has directly broken through to level 39. As long as you hunt for a soul ring, you can directly advance to the Soul Master level. Qian Renxue is already a Soul Emperor, but her soul power has still increased by four levels. Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo are already Title Douluo, so it is difficult for them to advance their realms, and they only barely increased by one level.]

[Dugu Bo, standing to the side, stared at their absurdly rapid advancement in cultivation, his face filled with disbelief.]

He knew the herbs here were incredibly potent, but he hadn't realized they were this powerful. He'd had a treasure trove of herbs but hadn't known how to use them!

[Perhaps among these are some magical herbs that can suppress his poison; maybe my son and daughter-in-law wouldn't have had to die back then...]

[The lonely Dugu Bo, left with only his granddaughter, couldn't help but cry. For the first time, the mighty Bi Lin Douluo had to lower himself and beg for help.]

(In the original Douluo Continent novel, Poison Douluo died from the poison, because the poison had penetrated deep into his bone marrow and he still needed to use poison techniques. Therefore, Tang San chose to help him suppress the poison, but this was only temporary and would relapse. In Douluo Continent II, Tang San directly removed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, and we have never seen the owner of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul since. Dugu Bo is probably extinct.)

Qian Renxue originally intended to silence Poison Douluo, but seeing him surrender directly, she weighed the options and agreed. A Title Douluo-level expert willingly surrendering—why not take advantage of that? As for a way to cure the poison, with so many miraculous herbs, surely one could be useful.

[Qian Renxue was indeed right; the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb can cure all poisons, but if Dugu Bo were to actually use it, all his strength would be wasted.]

[You and Qian Renxue return to Heaven Dou City. Your teacher, Qin Ming, wants you to train your fighting spirit at the Soul Arena in Soto City.]

Qian Renxue didn't want to be separated from you, refused on your behalf, and asked why you couldn't fight in the Heaven Dou City's Soul Arena. Wouldn't it be better to train there since there are more and stronger Soul Masters there? Why go to such a faraway place?

[Qin Ming, facing this questioning for the first time, left speechless.]

However, the three members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee trusted Qin Ming and allowed him to leave with all the members of the Heaven Dou Royal First Team except for you.

[You continue your cultivation as usual. You'll sleep in Qian Renxue's arms tonight.]

One day, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others returned, all with grim expressions, lacking the sharpness and confidence they had displayed when they left. Accompanying them were the teachers and students of Shrek Academy.

[After being taken to Soto City and beaten up by Qin Ming, especially after learning about Qin Ming's relationship with Shrek Academy, the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy felt a bit uneasy. Yu Tianheng, however, didn't say anything because Yu Xiaogang from Shrek Academy was his uncle.]

[Dugu Yan wasn't one to swallow her anger; she went directly to her grandfather, Dugu Bo, to complain.]

[Dugu Bo went to Shrek Academy and made things difficult for them in front of the three education committee members. He also paid special attention to Tang San, who had injured his granddaughter, beat Tang San up, and kicked him out.]

Seeing his teachers being driven away, Qin Ming didn't say anything to Poison Douluo. Instead, he went to three education committee members who highly valued and mentored him, and then took his leave.

Shrek Academy approached Liu Erlong again, and soon, Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy was renamed Shrek Academy.

Qian Renxue is a very discerning person. She recognized the talent of these students and wanted to win them over. However, Ning Rongrong was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were from the Star Luo Empire, and Qian Renxue looked down on Ma Hongjun because of his flawed martial soul and temperament...

Finally, Qian Renxue chose to target Tang San, with Ning Rongrong's father, Ning Fengzhi, acting as an intermediary to introduce the two.

[You were following behind Qian Renxue, and this was your first formal encounter with Tang San. Ning Rongrong was watching you from the side, looking at the mask on your face with great curiosity about what you looked like.]

You politely declined Ning Rongrong's request to remove her mask.

Ning Rongrong had actually heard of you a long time ago. You almost became her childhood sweetheart, and at the time she was relieved that it didn't happen.

[Afterwards, she heard the rumors about you and Xue Qinghe, and couldn't help but be curious about what you were like. Today, she finally met you, but didn't see your face, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.]

Even Ning Fengzhi's gaze towards you held a hint of regret. He already knew you had become a Soul Master, a Soul Master at just over twelve years old, almost reaching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
