Early the next morning, before the sky was fully bright, two figures had already begun running around the mountain. Their speed was not fast, but under the mutual support of the two sisters, they still persisted and finished the run.
From that day onward, as years passed through cold and heat, the two sisters first managed to simply finish the run — already not easy — then to running with weights, and later to running under the Soul Power pressure of a Bone Douluo.
Another six years passed. Now, under no suppression or weight, their speed and agility were already on par with some ordinary Agility-Attack-type Soul Masters. Of course, they still had a gap compared to those with special Martial Souls or those who used Soul Skills.
Under the guidance of a Titled Douluo, the sisters also became extremely proficient in the usage of Soul Power. Using Soul Power fusion to increase speed, their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds over these years.
Now, 12-year-old Qian Renyue was already a Soul Elder with Soul Power level 39, only one step away from Soul Ancestor. This was even after devoting most of her energy to sword training. If she had focused entirely on Soul Power cultivation, she would likely already be one step away from Soul King.
Twelve-year-old Ning Rongrong had Soul Power level 31, having just stepped into the realm of a Soul Elder. With Qian Renyue's help, she successfully obtained a Ten-Thousand-Year third ring.
Do not look at Qian Renyue having only level 39 Soul Power — even without any Soul Rings attached to her second Martial Soul, she could easily defeat a Soul Elder, and could also defeat some weaker Soul Ancestors, even able to exchange a few moves with certain Soul Kings.
Her domineering sword aura made the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall turn pale. Yes — because she became jealous when Bibi Dong accepted Hu Liena as a personal disciple and even proposed to the Elder Hall to make Hu Liena the Saintess, though that proposal was directly denied by the Grand Offering. After hearing this news, Qian Renyue directly stormed Spirit Hall and, using her Dragon Chant Divine Sword without any Soul Rings, defeated three arrogant members of the Golden Generation.
After Bibi Dong found out, she specially summoned Qian Renyue to scold her, telling her to cultivate properly and cause less trouble. Angered, Qian Renyue dragged a sack in the night and beat up Hu Liena again, and in the end, the Fifth Offering, Guangling Douluo, had to come clean up the mess.
After Ning Rongrong found out, she complained that Qian Renyue fought without calling her. So, Qian Renyue decided to bring Ning Rongrong to the Spirit Hall Academy every two or three days to cause trouble — specifically targeting Hu Liena and her brother.
In the end, Bibi Dong, helpless, hurriedly proposed to the Elder Hall that Hu Liena still needed training and was not suited to be Saintess, and suggested conferring Qian Renyue as the Saintess of Spirit Hall instead. However, her identity needed to be kept secret publicly — they only needed to let people know that Spirit Hall had a very talented Saintess.
Only then did Qian Renyue let go of the Hu siblings, preparing to team up with Ning Rongrong to dominate the Great Spirit Arena near Heaven Dou City. This would not only train their combat ability but also earn them pocket money. Ning Fengzhi approved and let the two go, only sending Sword Douluo to protect them secretly.
Because the Soul Rings of Qian Renyue and Ning Rongrong were too special, Ning Fengzhi used the full power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find a Ten-Thousand-Year torso soul bone for Ning Rongrong. The soul bone had two abilities, one of which was disguise — capable of disguising appearance and even Soul Ring colors.
"This soul bone is somewhat similar to our family's inherited soul bone, except that one can even disguise the Martial Soul. After all, it's the 99,999-year inheritance soul bone — it's indeed much stronger than this one," Qian Renyue secretly thought after seeing the torso soul bone.
"Sister, what about you?" Ning Rongrong hugged the soul bone without absorbing it yet, looking worriedly at Qian Renyue. They had agreed that good things were to be shared between sisters.
"Silly girl, I absorbed a head soul bone when I just broke through Soul Elder. It came from the same Soul Beast as my first Soul Ring. The Holy Light Unicorn already has an illusion innate ability, so my head soul bone can help me disguise too."
"That's good!" Ning Rongrong finally relaxed and went to absorb the rare torso soul bone.
With everything prepared, the two picked mysterious and beautiful masks in Heaven Dou City and officially began their real combat training at the Spirit Arena.
The night before entering the competition, Sword Douluo Chen Xin came to find Qian Renyue.
"Master, do you have something to instruct me?"
"Mm. I know you want to train with Rongrong in real combat, so you registered for the Great Spirit Arena. But your second Martial Soul has no Soul Rings — ordinary Soul Masters cannot guess, but this is Heaven Dou City. Many forces are here, and others might easily suspect Twin Martial Souls. To prevent ill-intentioned people from harming you, I searched everywhere to prepare a gift for you."
Chen Xin took out a long sword, 90% similar to Qian Renyue's Dragon-Chant Divine Sword. "I sought many rare metals and specially asked someone to forge this soul tool modeled after your Dragon-Chant Divine Sword. I never gave it to you until now — this soul tool is enough for you to use until Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo."
Qian Renyue took the sword joyfully, saying happily, "Since it's modeled after Dragon-Chant Divine Sword, then I'll call you Dragon-Chant~ Thank you, Master!"
"Do well in the match tomorrow!" finishing, Chen Xin prepared to leave.
"Goodbye, Master." Qian Renyue put away Dragon-Chant and respectfully sent her master off.
The next day
After a good meal in Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong and Qian Renyue headed to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.
As expected of the Great Spirit Arena of Heaven Dou City, due to its huge size, it was built outside the city. The arena had seven main Spirit Arenas and forty-nine subsidiary arenas, capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of spectators. There were over a hundred VIP boxes — after all, Heaven Dou City was filled with nobles. This was not only a place for Soul Masters to spar, but also for major forces to display their power.
The whole arena was ring-shaped. Ning Rongrong curiously asked, "Sister, do you know why the arena is circular? What is the center used for?"
Qian Renyue shook her head. "I don't know either. This is my first time here."
"Hahaha, little girls, looks like it's your first time here. Big brother will explain to you." A burly man with many scars heard them and stepped forward.
"Big brother, thank you. Please," Qian Renyue held Ning Rongrong's hand, walking slightly forward to shield Rongrong behind her.
"No need to be polite. Call me Tiger-brother," he said. He noticed their caution but didn't mind. Their clothes were extraordinary — clearly noble girls. Whether they were here out of curiosity or training, being courteous might earn a reward. Even a small tip from nobles could pay for his daughter's medical treatment. Thinking of his daughter around their age, his expression became gentle.
"This Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena is the largest in the empire. The center is the Red-rank Spirit Arena, only opened for special battles. Only nobles with VIP boxes can watch."
"In the arena, there are three types of battles: competition — which is sparring, no killing allowed. You ladies may choose this for competition. The second is life-and-death battles, used to settle irreconcilable disputes. The third is gambling battles, judged by the arena — both sides wager and send Soul Masters; the winner takes everything. This is the most common."
"In gambling battles, ordinary Soul Masters can earn money while keeping a good chance to survive, unlike life-and-death duels. As for nobles and clans, they often use life-and-death battles for major conflicts."
He paused, then continued, "Life-and-death duels are thrilling and nobles love watching them most." Seeing the girls show no reaction, he continued:
"As for the match formats — one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles. Team battles usually range from seven to ten people."
"To sign up is simple — fill out a form with name, age, birthplace, Martial Soul, and pay ten gold coins per person. Each win gives ten gold coins. You will also take a Soul Power test similar to Spirit Hall, to match you to opponents."
"This way, ladies — this is the registration desk."
"Thank you, Tiger-brother." Qian Renyue thanked him and led Ning Rongrong to the counter. "Hello, my sister and I want to register for two-on-two."
Seeing their clothes, the staff smiled sweetly. "Hello. Registration fee is ten gold coins. Each win earns ten gold coins."
Qian Renyue calmly took out a small pouch from her bracelet-type soul tool and counted ten gold coins.
"Please choose your team name."
"Our team name is Glazed Moon!" Ning Rongrong and Qian Renyue exchanged a glance and answered in unison with a smile.
