Qianyu turned around.
His gaze fell on a huge raw stone used for decoration in the corner of the room.
It was a hard granite rock, about half a person's height.
Qianyu made no extra movements.
He simply raised his hand casually and pressed it lightly against the raw stone from a distance.
There was no earth-shattering sound.
There were no dazzling light effects either.
Click.
A soft sound.
That incredibly hard granite instantly turned into dust.
It collapsed neatly, turning into a pile of fine sand.
Qian Renxue's eyes widened instantly.
Her small mouth was slightly open, her face filled with shock.
this...
What kind of power is this?
There was no flashing of spirit rings, nor any violent fluctuation of spirit power.
It was just a casual wave of the hand.
It can turn hard rocks into powder.
Even those cardinals couldn't achieve this level of control, right?
When Qian Renxue looked at Qian Yu again, her expression changed.
It's no longer about looking at a pitiful little thing.
Instead, they were observing an unfathomable and powerful figure.
"This...this is your power?"
Qian Renxue murmured to herself.
Qianyu turned around and looked directly into Qianrenxue's eyes.
Those black and gold eyes were as deep as an abyss, seemingly capable of sucking in one's soul.
"This is just a tiny, insignificant scratch."
"I am now less than one ten-thousandth of my peak self."
Qianyu's voice was incredibly seductive.
He floated up to Qian Renxue, just inches away from her face.
"A Thousand Blades of Snow".
Do you want power?
Do you want the kind of power that makes everyone look up to you?
Do you want that power that makes your mother have to acknowledge your excellence and even be proud of you?
Every single word.
They all struck precisely at the softest spot in Qian Renxue's heart.
Qian Renxue's breathing became rapid.
She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white.
think.
She dreamed of it.
She was fed up with being ignored.
I'm fed up with the pain of getting no response no matter how hard I try.
If one possessed absolute power...
Will everything change?
Qian Renxue raised her head, her eyes revealing an unprecedented longing.
Teach me.
"Please, teach me how to do it."
Qianyu looked into her eyes, which were burning with flames.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
That was the expression on a hunter's face when he saw his most satisfying prey.
But he did not show any eagerness.
"I can give you strength."
"I can even grant you potential that surpasses that of everyone else on this continent."
"but."
"This comes at a price."
Qianyu's voice became serious.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze.
"My physical body is destroyed, and my soul is about to dissipate."
"Only by sacrificing myself to you and merging with your martial spirit can I continue to exist."
In other words...
"I will become a part of your body."
"To become your spirit ring, your external spirit bone, or even your second martial spirit."
"But you must remember this."
"Once you start, there's no turning back."
"You need to open your heart and mind completely and accept my power."
"Even if it is the darkness of depravity, even if it is the flame of revenge, you must accept it all."
"Do you dare?"
Qianyu's words fell like a heavy hammer.
Sacrifice.
This word was not unfamiliar to six-year-old Qian Renxue.
She had seen it in the Spirit Hall's records.
It was an extremely brutal ritual.
Normally, only soul beasts would sacrifice themselves to a soul master.
And now.
This mysterious and powerful being before me is actually going to sacrifice itself for me?
Qian Renxue's heart was pounding violently.
It was fear, but also excitement.
This truly is the only chance.
That voice kept shouting in my heart.
Just agree to him.
You can become stronger.
That will make your mother look at you in a new light.
Then you won't be a useless "bastard".
Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
Her initially hesitant gaze gradually hardened.
Since the world has never been kind to me.
What do I have to lose?
As long as I can get love.
As long as you can prove yourself.
I would do anything, even make a deal with the devil.
Qian Renxue straightened up.
She looked at Qianyu, who was floating in the air, and nodded vigorously.
That moment.
The youthful air about her had suddenly become tinged with a resolute determination.
"I do."
"I'm willing to accept anything as long as I can become stronger."
"bring it on."
Qian Renxue straightened her back.
There was no longer the slightest hesitation in her golden eyes.
A thousand feathers floated in mid-air.
Looking at the stubborn little girl in front of him, he nodded slightly.
very good.
This is the person who can bear his power.
There are no complicated incantations.
There's no fancy pre-animation either.
Qianyu's remnant soul body, which was originally only the size of a palm, instantly disintegrated.
It did not dissipate into the air.
Instead, it transformed into countless tiny points of light.
Half of it is the ultimate sacred gold.
Half of it is a deep, decadent black.
These specks of light, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, surged wildly toward Qianrenxue.
Qian Renxue felt a blur before her eyes.
Immediately afterwards.
An indescribable, immense pressure instantly enveloped her entire body.
That feeling.
It was as if someone was forcibly trying to stuff a mountain into her body.
pain.
Intense pain.
Qian Renxue let out a muffled groan.
Her originally rosy face instantly turned ashen white.
Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, wetting her delicate clothes.
It's not just physical pain.
It's more of a tearing sensation from the depths of the soul.
Qianyu's power was too domineering.
Even though most of its sharpness has been concealed.
It is still an unbearable burden for a six-year-old child.
That force seeped into her pores.
It surged through her meridians.
They ruthlessly widened the originally narrow passage.
Qian Renxue felt like her body was about to explode.
An instinctive sense of resistance surged from every cell in my body.
This is a self-protection mechanism of organisms when faced with the invasion of foreign energy.
Rejection.
A frenzied rejection.
Qian Renxue's body was trembling.
Her consciousness began to fade.
it hurts.
It really hurts.
If I give up, will the pain stop?
An idea flashed through her mind.
But the next second...
Bibi Dong's eyes, filled with disgust, reappeared before her eyes.
"Mongrel".
Those two words were like a red-hot branding iron, burning fiercely into Qian Renxue's heart.
No.
I cannot give up.
If I can't even bear this little bit of pain, how can I prove myself?
What can I offer to win that woman back?
Qian Renxue bit her lip tightly.
Fresh blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, bringing a slightly metallic taste.
She forcibly suppressed her body's instinctive rejection.
She cried out in her heart.
bring it on.
Come in, everyone.
I'm not afraid.
Qian Renxue opened all her defenses.
She allowed the torrent of black and gold to break down her defenses and take over her body.
