Qian Renxue Determination

Regarding Zhongli's theory, this "master of theory" had always firmly believed in it.

No one would joke about their own reputation, especially a titled Douluo.

The knowledge that has been made public must have been tested through experiments.

During the time when Tang San was injured, Yu Xiaogang revised some of his previously published statements.

For example, in the area of optimal spirit ring configurations, he added Zhongli's theory.

As for the specific time limits in that theory, he marked them as "for reference only."

He simply modified his own theory, adding a little something extra; naturally, there was no need to change the author's name.

Every time he thought about this, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth would curl up in a smile, and he couldn't help but want to give himself a thumbs-up.

"One more step closer to becoming a true master!"

Amid his joy, Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered his disciple, Tang San.

"A body-strengthening plan?"

Tang San had a hint of confusion in his eyes, wondering what exactly Yu Xiaogang's so-called body-strengthening plan was.

Back in Sotou City, Yu Xiaogang had given them special training, making them run while carrying weights, which also helped strengthen their bodies.

Carrying 80 to 100 kilograms of stones while running could train the physique of a Spirit Elder (Soul Elder). One can only imagine how weak the combat power of a Douluo truly was!

A Spirit Master's body was, in fact, quite frail!

"The body is the foundation of a Spirit Master. If you want to contain more spirit power and absorb stronger spirit rings, training your body is essential!"

"Little San, you're different from the others. You're a twin martial soul wielder, so you need to work even harder!"

Yu Xiaogang said earnestly.

During the disciple acceptance ceremony, although Yu Xiaogang had been embarrassed, he realized something important!

The secret to how a twin martial soul wielder absorbs spirit rings!

The reason why the first twin martial soul wielder exploded and died was that his body couldn't withstand such powerful energy!

"I still need to consult Bibi Dong on this matter. There can be no room for error."

Though Yu Xiaogang had figured it out, he wasn't entirely sure if his thoughts were correct.

Bibi Dong, however, held the ready-made answer; he just needed to ask her.

Hearing this, Tang San was stunned, as if he had just realized something, and suddenly understood!

He was different from other Spirit Masters because he had twin martial souls!

Both martial souls needed to absorb spirit rings.

But the amount of spirit power a body could contain was limited, and he would need to strengthen his body to hold more spirit power.

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang's well-intentioned efforts, Tang San felt even more moved.

"Yes, teacher, your disciple understands!"

Tang San said solemnly.

No matter how difficult the road ahead, he would have to push through.

After all, one of his goals was to become like that one deity-level Douluo who could crush mountains with his bare hands!

"Focus on recovering from your injuries."

"Yes!"

The scene then shifted to the Seven Treasures Hotel in Heaven Dou City.

Zhongli, Paimon, and "Xue Qinghe" were sitting around a table, having a meal together.

This time, "Xue Qinghe" didn't mention anything about Gui Mei and Yue Guan, as if the two were completely unimportant.

She also didn't ask about the political situation on the Douluo Continent, but instead, showed concern for the livelihood of the common people.

This slightly surprised Zhongli.

In the original timeline, Qian Renxue was always plotting to seize the emperor's throne, and as for the issues of people's livelihoods, she had never shown any interest.

Those commoners without spirit master talent were simply beneath her notice. In fact, she had never even considered this matter before.

"For an empire, ignorant commoners are the best kind. Are you really planning to do this?"

Zhongli spoke bluntly, not bothering to beat around the bush.

For an empire of this scale, the ignorance of the commoners was an advantage.

As long as they were given something to eat, they would obediently work and hope that their next generation might be born with innate spirit power, changing their fate.

Most commoners only ate one meal a day, and while it was not enough to fill them, it kept them from starving.

In this situation, their primary thought was simply about eating a bit more at the next meal.

If they were well-fed, it wouldn't be a good thing for the empire.

Without education, their thoughts wouldn't be too complex.

That was the benefit of ignorance.

Hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" twitched slightly at the corner of her eye and rolled her eyes.

"This world is filled with both demons and gods. Though I have no desire to rule, I still understand the suffering of the people..."

Who knows where that phrase had come from!

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't even be paying attention to the issue of common people's livelihoods.

"Since you say the people are suffering, then I, Qian Renxue, will make them better off—better than ever before!"

"The empire may force them to kneel, but I, Qian Renxue, will make them stand tall!"

"I refuse to believe that if I achieve this, you'd still have any reason to throw stones at me!"

"Xue Qinghe" thought to herself but outwardly responded, "What you say is not without reason."

"However, I hope that commoners are not limited to only awakening their martial spirits as their sole path."

"I want everyone in this world to have their own way!"

Her words were firm, as if she had made some kind of resolute decision.

"Why don't you just say 'everyone is like a dragon'?" Zhongli glanced at "Xue Qinghe," momentarily stunned.

What was going on?

What was happening here?

'Could it be that my memories were false?'

Zhongli stroked his chin, lost in thought. He had a faint feeling that something was off about this "Xue Qinghe," though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

A figure like this, with ideals and ambitions, was meant to become the Angelic God. Why, then, would the Divine Realm scheme against her, ultimately clearing her out?

Had she threatened the interests of the Divine Realm?

The book only revealed the tip of the iceberg. It seemed that this world wasn't as simple as it appeared.

"Xue Qinghe": You're overthinking this.

Zhongli nodded slightly and said, "Achieving that goal is not difficult. For the Empire or the Spirit Hall, it's quite simple."

"But during implementation, it will undoubtedly affect many people's interests."

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. Her thinking had been correct!

Although Zhongli appeared indifferent to commoners, when it came to such matters, he could speak about them without hesitation!

What did that imply?

It showed that Zhongli had been considering these issues all along!

"I will convince Emperor Xue Ye."

"Xue Qinghe" said firmly, and as if she had a sudden realization, her eyes brightened, and she continued, "And if I encounter resistance, then I will become Emperor myself!"

Zhongli: "..."

Good, good, good!

"You need not worry about this matter. Establishing a school for commoners is something the Spirit Hall will take care of."

At that moment, a gentle female voice suddenly interrupted.

Upon hearing this voice, "Xue Qinghe" trembled, her expression turning somewhat strange.

Zhongli's face, however, remained unchanged. He had noticed her presence long ago.

Judging by "Xue Qinghe's" reaction, Zhongli's guess was correct: the person who had spoken was none other than Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

As the voice faded, a figure dressed in a purple gauze dress appeared. She carefully controlled her gaze, deliberately avoiding looking at "Xue Qinghe."
