Chapter 6: Before the Soul Awakens
In the 2625th year of the Douluo calendar, Qianshui and Qian Renxue were five years old, and they were only one year away from awakening their martial spirits.
During this year, Qianshui was able to run around Wuhun City twice a day, and he had almost read all
the books .
To be honest, Qianshui didn't realize that people could be so awesome when they were bored. In short, Qianshui would appear in the Spirit Hall's library every day, without fail.
Qian Renxue ran to
the library and saw Qian Shui reading again, so she deliberately asked, "Xiao Shui, you are reading again!"
Qianshui didn't answer, but slowly picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued to flip through the book.
So Qian Renxue deliberately asked again: "Are you really just a nerd?"
Qianshui opened his eyes wide. Who would watch this if they weren't bored? "How can you slander someone's innocence like this?"
"What innocence? You come to read books every day! You never miss a day! And you even bring books home to read!"
Qianshui's face flushed, the tea in his hand trembled slightly, and he argued: "I read it out of boredom! I'm not a nerd! I'm bored! I'm definitely not a nerd!"
Then came some difficult to understand words, something about "self-discipline" and "regular work and rest schedule", which made the little girl giggle, and the library was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Ahhh! What Kong Yiji!"
"Okay Xiaoshui, there's an old man here to challenge Grandpa, let's go check it out!"
"What old man? Challenging the great priest? Are you tired of living?"
"I don't know...it seems to be a sword spirit~"
"Sword Martial Spirit? Could it be the Seven Killing Swords? Could it be Chen Jianjun?"
"I don't know~"
As they spoke, the two of them ran to the outside of Wuhun City, the place where the soul power fluctuations were extremely obvious.
"It seems to be about the same time."
The duel between a level 99 peerless Douluo and others was something that could only be encountered once in a while, Qianshui also wanted to see it, so he quickened his pace. However, Qian Renxue could not do it, and soon fell behind Qianshui.
"No, Xiaoxue, this is too slow. The fight might have ended by the time we get there. Let me carry you!"
"good!"
The two of them are childhood sweethearts, spending every day together, and this has happened more than once or twice.
Qianshui ran out of Wuhun City with Qian Renxue on his back, and a huge soul power wave came towards him! Qianshui was worried that if he got too close, he would be killed by the aftermath of the battle! In the end, the two could only choose to climb up the city wall to watch.
Qianshui's vision is no longer the same as in his previous life. With the help of his soul power, he can see quite far away. But even so, he can only barely see blurry balls of light, one blue and one gold.
The battle was over very quickly. Even though there was a two-level difference in soul power, there was a world of difference between level 97 and level 99. The final result was bound to be Qian Daoliu's victory.
'It seems that it is difficult to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to the power of moving mountains and filling the sea below level 99! According to the level of cultivation, it is at most Yuanying, and the Heaven Covering Method should still be Dao Palace, not reaching the Four Extremes.'
"Xiao Shui, did you see it?"
"No, I can't see clearly at all. Let's go back quickly, otherwise the chief priest will definitely bump into us when he comes back!"
However, as soon as the words came out, "Where are you going?"
"Yes~"
"Grandpa~"
"Great offering!"
Qianshui turned and saluted Qiandaoxing.
Qian Daoliu is indeed a level 99 peerless Douluo, and even though he is over a hundred years old, he still looks like he is in his 30s. Qianshui has seen Qian Daoliu many times, but every time he has been in awe of this man's aura.
"You're fooling around again! I know you're fast, but this kind of fight is not something you can watch right now."
"Grandpa, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time~"
Qian Renxue was originally an extremely cold and aloof little girl, but after hanging out with Qianshui for a few years, she began to learn how to act like a spoiled child.
"Okay, let's go back."
…
This little episode can be regarded as a kind of consolation for the boring life. Children on Douluo Continent are almost left to their own devices before their martial spirits awaken. Only a very small number of large families will train their children in advance.
Qian Renxue is that kind of person. She has received top elite education, and it is foreseeable that she will be personally trained by Qian Daoliu when she awakens her martial soul in the future!
Qianshui is an almost unique eccentric. He is self-cultivated! Judging from the current situation, Qianshui is actually much better than Qian Renxue.
It's a pity that Qian Renxue's talent is by no means as weak as it seems.
Qianshui has a deep understanding of this. He knows very clearly that Qian Renxue is definitely the most gifted person in the world! Not only does she have a divine martial spirit and divine innate 20th level soul power, but her learning ability is also beyond the reach of ordinary people, at least not something they can have at their age!
Qian Renxue has a very good memory and comprehension ability. She can remember everything she sees and understand everything at once! Qianshui can also rely on the vast amount of knowledge obtained from another world and the improvement in all aspects brought by his own soul training to temporarily surpass Qian Renxue.
Qianshui knew very well what level of talent this was. If it was in the previous life, without any accidents, Qian Renxue's talent would be qualified to become one of the shining stars of mankind! But he was just an ordinary traverser who took advantage of the information bonus and had no cheats.
And as time goes by, the day of martial soul awakening is getting closer!
…
"Time flies." Qianshui finished his daily run, washed up and prepared to go to bed.
He doesn't look like a 6-year-old child at all now. If he were on Blue Star, he would be in the first grade of elementary school now. He is almost like a junior high school student.
"Xiaoshui, are you asleep?"
He looked at the candlelight in the room and said, "You are asking even though you already know the answer..."
He opened the door and let Qian Renxue into the room.
"What's wrong?"
"Your spirit will awaken this year. What are your plans?"
"Just wake up, what's the point of that~"
"Grandpa told me that on my birthday, he would personally awaken my martial soul in front of the angel statue in the Elder Hall~"
"Isn't that nice?"
Qian Renxue looked conflicted, she was thinking what would happen if Qianshui failed to awaken, and his martial soul was wasted or he had no innate soul power and was not qualified to become a soul master?
"What about you?"
"Me? I can go find the dean to help me awaken~"
Qianshui had nothing to worry about. He had already cultivated to level 10 and was a genius no matter how you looked at it.
"Why don't you come with me? I'll go talk to Grandpa and take you to awaken together. It's just a matter of convenience anyway~"
"Ah!? I don't want to. I will definitely be surrounded by a bunch of people. It will be super uncomfortable!"
"Go ahead~ Go ahead~ Let's go together~ It won't cost you anything~"
Qian Renxue became more and more spoiled, shaking Qianshui's hand and leaning closer! Her big, bright eyes looked at Qianshui.
"Oh~ okay okay!"
Qianshui had no choice, he just wanted to be transparent, but he could only agree reluctantly. He had experienced this kind of scene many times, and he had long been immune to it, but he knew that if he didn't agree, there would definitely be more troubles waiting for him.
"Then I'll go talk to Grandpa!"
Qian Renxue ran out in a hurry.
"This guy is getting more and more noisy!"
Even though their relationship was getting better and better, Qianshui still treated Qian Renxue as a child and had no choice but to coax her.
Fortunately, Qianshui is not the kind of person who likes to be arrogant. No matter in the past life or the present life, he looks at everyone equally. Even if he has become a social animal, he does not have any hierarchy in his heart. In short, he looks at everyone equally, seniors and juniors alike.
Even though he treated Qian Renxue as a child, he did not look down on her as an adult, and it was even more impossible for him to flatter her as a subordinate. This was also the reason why they had a good relationship. After all, Qian Renxue had too many subordinates, and all the Titled Douluo had to flatter her.
Not everyone likes to be praised, especially Qian Renxue. She is pure and kind-hearted, and she feels even more disgusted when she is praised too much. But Qianshui is the only one who treats her equally, so Qian Renxue only has Qianshui as her friend.
Since she was a child, only her father and grandfather gave her real affection, and most of the others were flattering and always hypocritical. So she cherished Qianshui as a friend even more.
And now she wanted to fight for the same treatment for Qianshui as she did - to let Qianshui get the chance to awaken his martial soul in person from Qian Daoliu, the strongest person on the continent! Even if it was just a useless martial soul!
