Chapter 24: Crushing Tang San’s Simulacrum and First Meeting Hu Liena!

"Susu, it's your turn to shine!"

Gently rubbing Tushan Susu's fluffy ears, Yao Xuan smiled as he gave his instruction.

"Understood, Master! Leave it to Susu—I'll do my best!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Tushan Susu nodded vigorously, her heart swelling with excitement and joy at being able to assist her master.

"Pure Love Heavenly Scripture*!"

With a thought, Tushan Susu activated her innate demon power. In the next moment, an ancient and weathered tome materialized before her.

"Love lights the way, emotion binds the heart. With blood as the contract, a bond is forged. The threads of fate entwine, leading to ultimate unity!"

Carefully flipping open the Pure Love Heavenly Scripture, Tushan Susu pricked both Yao Xuan and Bibi Dong's fingers, letting drops of their blood fall onto its pages. She softly chanted as the tome absorbed the blood, glowing faintly.

At that moment, Yao Xuan felt a strange and inexplicable connection forming between him and Bibi Dong, as if an invisible thread now linked their fates.

"Well done, Susu. There will be plenty more opportunities for you to shine in the future!"

Patting Tushan Susu's head affectionately, Yao Xuan encouraged the adorable and endearing fox girl. He then turned to Kaisha.

"Keisha, I've recently broken through to the Soul Master level. I need to consolidate my realm through combat. Use your Sacred Knowledge Repository to simulate an opponent for me—let's begin some practical training!"

Having recently advanced, Yao Xuan had gained his first soul skill for his Creation Azure Lotus Martial Soul: Battle. Though brimming with limitless potential, only constant use and refinement could fully unlock its power and elevate Yao Xuan's strength.

"Understood, Master! Do you have any specific requirements for the simulated opponent?"

Keisha smiled as she nodded, awaiting his instructions.

"Let's base the opponent on Tang San, the main antagonist of Soul Land! Set his martial soul as Blue Silver Emperor for now, and give him soul skills... Let's start at the Great Soul Master level of strength."

Hearing Keisha's response, Yao Xuan unhesitatingly decided to use Tang San as the template for his training opponent.

"As you wish, Master!"

Following Yao Xuan's description, Kaisha activated the Sacred Knowledge Repository, summoning a Tang San simulacrum that appeared before him.

"The real Tang San isn't ready to be dealt with yet—letting him off too easily wouldn't be satisfying. But this fake Tang San will do for venting!"

Gazing at the simulacrum before him, nearly identical in appearance to the real Tang San, Yao Xuan activated his soul power, summoning his Creation Azure Lotus Martial Soul. He unleashed his first soul skill, Battle, and charged forward.

Despite not yet integrating his second soul ring, Yao Xuan's martial soul and ten-thousand-year soul skill gave him a decisive advantage. Against a Great Soul Master-level Tang San, he faced no difficulty at all.

In just three exchanges, Yao Xuan's Battle skill landed a crushing blow to the simulacrum's head, smashing it like a watermelon. With a dull thud, the head burst apart, red and white splattering everywhere before the simulacrum dissolved back into divine energy.

"That felt great!"

"Looks like Tang San at the Great Soul Master level is no match for me. Let's up the stakes—simulate him at the Soul Elder level with Eight Spider Lances!"

Smiling faintly, Yao Xuan gave the command and resumed his training.

By evening, after nearly a day of intense practice, Yao Xuan had destroyed dozens of Tang San simulacra.

At first, he struggled against the Soul Elder-level simulacrum, their battles ending in stalemates. But as the fights progressed, Yao Xuan's understanding of the Battle skill deepened, and his strength grew substantially.

Finally, after hundreds of grueling rounds, Yao Xuan defeated the Soul Elder-level Tang San simulacrum for the first time. From there, his progress was unstoppable—eventually dispatching it in just ten moves.

"This training is highly effective. I can feel my mastery of soul skills and combat ability improving greatly! By now, Bibi Dong should have completed her soul ring fusion as well."

With this thought, Yao Xuan made his way to Bibi Dong's cultivation chamber.

As he arrived, the chamber doors slowly opened. Bibi Dong stepped out, her radiance unmistakable, a smile of triumph lighting her face.

"Yao Xuan, I have great news! After refining all the adaptive soul ring crystals, I've advanced from a 93rd-level Titled Douluo to a 99th-level Pinnacle Douluo. I can now begin condensing my divine body and preparing to break through to the Quasi-God level!"

"Congratulations, Dong'er!"

"Now that it's late, let's enjoy dinner together. And it's about time I met your disciple, Hu Liena—I've prepared a special gift for her!"

Smiling faintly, Yao Xuan congratulated her before mentioning Hu Liena.

"Hu Liena, huh? If she's good enough to catch your attention, that's a blessing for her."

Bibi Dong chuckled, her tone teasing yet warm.

As a perceptive woman, she understood that a man as extraordinary as Yao Xuan would inevitably attract numerous talented and beautiful women. Instead of blaming him for being "unfaithful," she resolved to win his favor and secure her position in his heart.

With this mindset, Bibi Dong readily accepted Yao Xuan's interest in Hu Liena, even feeling a subtle joy—after all, "master-disciple dynamics" would certainly please him.

"Good. I'm glad you're so understanding!"

Sensing her thoughts through their bond, Yao Xuan nodded in satisfaction, relieved by her mature outlook.

"I'll go fetch her for you!"

Smiling gently, Bibi Dong departed. Moments later, she returned, leading a stunning young girl of around ten years old.

The girl was breathtakingly beautiful, her skin like polished jade, and her orange hair cascading down her shoulders to her slender waist. Her face, delicately perfect, framed crimson eyes brimming with allure, a dainty nose, and soft, cherry lips.

Though still youthful, her figure had begun to develop, exuding both innocence and budding sensuality. Her refined and enchanting aura made her a captivating presence—easily outshining even the most glamorous stars.

This was none other than Hu Liena, Bibi Dong's personal disciple, the future Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, and one of its famed Three Beauties!
