Naturally Strong

In the 2640th year of the Douluo calendar, Qianshui had disappeared from Douluo for six years. It was as if he had never appeared in this world in the past six years.

　　Qian Renxue was already 20 years old this year. These days, even she didn't know where Qianshui had gone. Based on her understanding of Qianshui, he probably found an unknown mountain cave to live in.

　　"Qinghe, the kingdoms and principalities of the empire are still opposed to the road construction. I wonder if you have any solution."

　　Qian Renxue took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Teacher, the current situation seems stable and calm.

　　But beneath these waves, you and I both understand that this is only temporary.

　　The one from Spirit Hall was so strong in advance that no one knew what she would do next.

　　All the empire can do is to try its best to integrate its strength in this peaceful period to cope with the uncertainties of the future."

　　Having said this, Qian Renxue stood up and said to Ning Fengzhi solemnly:

　　"My father is in poor health, and the burden of the empire has suddenly fallen on Qinghe. Outsiders may think Qinghe is the best, but only those who actually carry this burden can understand how hard my father works.

　　So, teacher, there are some things that cannot be discussed. Since Qinghe is in charge at this time, there is not much room for negotiation. I hope the teacher will support me!"

　　After saying that, she bowed ninety degrees and saluted Ning Fengzhi.

　　"Qinghe, why do you have to do this? You and I are a master and disciple. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is your greatest support. The teacher can't help you too much. This is all he can do."

　　After saying that, Ning Fengzhi helped Xue Qinghe up, and everything that should and shouldn't be said was self-evident.

　　In recent years, this prince is no longer the same person he used to be. Now the real person in charge of the Tiandou Empire is His Royal Highness the Prince who is bowing respectfully to him.

　　Perhaps no one paid attention to the changes in the power structure. Since the fall of Ge Long, the entire imperial military has been completely controlled by the Tiandou royal family. The royal family controls the army, and the Xue family once again firmly grasps the core of power.

　　By building roads, some nobles who were just sitting there doing nothing were gradually cleared out, and the administrative power of the provinces under their jurisdiction was consolidated.

　　Through the training and promotion of new talents, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has basically established a new ruling team. All of these people are from the Crown Prince's Mansion, and since they are all low-level soul masters with no real strength, they did not attract much attention.

　　But when some things began to be implemented, these people played a vital role. With this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also began to reform the administrative structure and gradually carried out population management registration.

　　Based on the original reliance on the Spirit Hall to count the number of spirit masters, a new identity registration mechanism was established to initially clarify the population of the empire, thus starting a new tax reform.

　　Douluo Continent has always only valued soul masters, or high-level soul masters, and all of this has been possible because of this lack of attention.

　　What's more, the Spirit Hall, the party whose interests were most damaged, simply ignored these operations and even participated in fanning the flames.

　　At this point, the foundation of everything was basically established, and the power base of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to consolidate, surpassing Emperor Xue Ye and initially realizing the unity of government through the status of Crown Prince.

　　As Xue Qinghe's political momentum grew, Ning Fengzhi discovered a problem. In his opinion, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could not just do the road construction business.

　　Ning Fengzhi has greater interests to pursue. Facing this disciple who is beyond his expectations, he needs an attitude, an attitude that shows that as a disciple he will not abandon the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

　　"Rongrong is here. I still have things to deal with in Tiandou City. Can you let her stay at your house for a few days?"

　　"Of course, I don't know if this little witch can stay here~"

　　"Hahaha, Qinghe, Rongrong likes you so much. She keeps asking to see you at home!"

　　"Teacher~"

　　…

　　The affairs of Douluo Continent had nothing to do with Qianshui. His three-month period had already come to an end, and he had no interest in playing happily with Xiaobai anymore.

　　"Hey, what are you doing!"

　　"Xiaobai, do you really need to do that? You always flip like a salted fish~"

　　Xiaobai, the king of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, a hundred thousand year old soul beast, is the real one. I am speechless. Ever since Qianshui came, she has gone crazy.

　　Her Demon Shark Fang is extremely powerful, but it is a ranged soul skill.

　　Maybe it's because the sea soul beast is huge and has a high hit rate, which makes this soul skill seem quite powerful.

　　But I never expected to meet Qianshui.

　　"A range soul skill uses a point to break through the surface!" Qianshui explained.

　　Although her attack was powerful, it covered a large area. Qianshui rushed straight towards her and only needed to break the teeth of the Demon Shark in front of her that could attack her, without having to worry about anything else.

　　Then the stupid shark got the idea and focused on area attacks, striking like a Gatling gun.

　　That's great, if it's out of range I can dodge, which is more to Qianshui's liking.

　　So whenever she used a skill, the big shark would be hit on the head. After a while, she felt that the whole shark was beaten stupidly.

　　The only way you have a slight chance of winning is to transform into a human and fight Qianshui in close combat, but he just wants this, he wants you to practice with him like this to hone your practical combat skills.

　　The key point is that Qianshui is really abnormal. Since the Jindan stage, he has entered the fasting stage. He can maintain vigorous body functions just by running energy. His in-depth research on the fifth soul skill also allows him to not fear injury and possess extremely strong endurance.

　　This put her whole shark in trouble. She had to fight day and night. The key point was that the more time went by, the more she gave up resisting Qianshui and refused to complete the divine test, deliberately dragging her down.

　　Until this third month.

　　She and Qianshui had become familiar with each other these days and had indeed given up resistance. After the fight that day, she turned pale again and floated above the circular sea with a look of despair.

　　"Tsk tsk tsk, this feels really good!"

Qianshui sat on Xiaobai's belly with a perverted look on his face. With one hand, he quickly rubbed Xiaobai's soft and smooth belly, which was also tough skin specially grown for the ocean.

　　At first, Xiaobai did feel that Qianshui treated her in a certain way, but the next second, Qianshui showed a mocking expression.

　　"Tsk! You are indeed good-looking in human form, but I am a married man, and my wife is much prettier than you!"

　　How could she, a pure shark who had been single for 100,000 years, stand such humiliation? She turned hostile on the spot, but she couldn't beat him to death, so naturally she ended up in failure.

　　Later she found out that rather than Qianshui having any bad intentions towards her, he was more interested in her shark skin.

　　(Rua the shark! It feels so good! - Qianshui Douluo)

　　Then she really gave up resisting. It wasn't like she would lose any flesh anyway, so she just let Qianshui wipe it away.

　　"Oh stop touching it! It's itchy!"

　　A shark that is twenty or thirty meters long, shaking her long fins and slapping the sea surface up and down, looks really cute if you ignore her huge body.

　　Patting Xiaobai's chin, Qianshui felt that it was enough. He had used all his squeezing techniques several times recently, and such a useful sparring partner was used to the extreme.

　　"I won't tease you anymore~ The March period has arrived! It's time to complete the divine test!"

　　With a slight slap of his palm, the soul power drove the air flow to slowly push Xiaobai's huge shark body towards the other end of the circular sea, as if it was rowing a boat.

　　Only when he reached the other side did Qianshui flip over and jump onto the shore, and the light curtain on the sea had slowly disappeared.

　　〈Conquer the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark with absolute strength and break through the defense line of the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark that has lasted for 100,000 years.

　　The second test of Poseidon, passed.

　　Poseidon's affinity increased by 5%, and the total affinity increased by 10%.

　　As that voice echoed in his mind, the second test of the Nine Tests of Poseidon came to an end.

　　With a puff, Xiao Bai's big head emerged from the sea. She looked angrily at Qian Shui, who was standing on the beach with a calm expression. She couldn't help but said angrily, "You pervert, you better pray that the next test doesn't involve me, otherwise I will make you pay!"

　　"Don't worry, there is still a chance for us to work together. Next time, take me around Poseidon Island. How about a trip around the island?"

　　After patting Xiaobai's head, Qianshui also learned how to appease this overlord of the sea.

　　"Humph! Who wants to travel around the island with you? I'm leaving. The tests ahead won't be easy, so be careful."

　　Xiaobai's voice echoed on the sea, but she had already turned around and dived into the circular sea. Her body twisted several times and disappeared like an arrow.

　　"She was right..."

　　With the end of the second test, the content of the third test also appeared.

　　"All soul power and soul skills are sealed, and 365 days of non-stop tidal body training..."

　　Qian Shuisheng translated the meaning of the third test without any regret, and he also felt that he was unable to mobilize any soul power, and the long-lost feeling of heaviness in his body came over him.

　　"Congratulations on completing the second test. Follow me." A leisurely voice rang in everyone's ears.

　　At some point, the noble Poseidon Douluo Poseidon, dressed in red, appeared beside him.

　　There was some blame in Poseidon's eyes, perhaps because Qianshui had dragged it out for too long.

　　After saying that, Bo Saixi turned and walked in the opposite direction of Poseidon Mountain. Her speed did not seem fast, and each step was so light and slow.

　　Life is not easy Qianshui sighed, he has adapted to a life pattern where everything depends on soul power, it doesn't matter to him whether he has soul skills or not.

　　But he was not allowed to use his soul power, which was miserable. At least he hadn't taken a shower for a long time. His soul power had done the cleaning, but he hadn't cleaned himself up after coming out of the ring sea. His body was covered in sea water, and without the protection of his soul power, his whole body was wet and sticky.

　　However, his physical fitness is excellent. He has always insisted on practicing both his body and soul, and running is also his favorite activity. After years of practice, even if he relies solely on his body, he is confident that he can kill the Soul Emperor head-on.

　　He just wanted to catch up with Poseidon. Even if he tried his best, he could only barely catch up with her.
