Chapter 416: Secret Room Challenge, Qian Renxue, are you serious?

"You..."

She looked at Lin Qingmo, her gaze filled with scrutiny and a trace of imperceptible worry.

"Given your current situation, it is best not to be exposed."

Lin Qingmo nodded.

A spirit ring configuration of two purple, two black, and one red, once exposed, would cause the entire Douluo Continent to erupt.

By then, it wouldn’t just be Spirit Hall coming for him; forces from the entire continent would swarm over like sharks smelling blood.

Whether it be the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, hidden Sects, or the major Empires, I fear even the old man selling grilled sausages on the street would want to come over and take a piece.

"Stay low-key for a while first."

Lin Qingmo said: "It just so happens that I also need time to stabilize my Realm."

The Rank 60 spirit power hasn’t fully settled yet.

The two extreme attributes of the Blue Silver Life-Death Tree also need to be re-aligned.

As he spoke, he flexed his wrists, feeling the surging spirit power within his body.

Rank 60.

100,000-year soul ring.

Dual attributes of Extreme Life and Extreme Destruction.

With this configuration, staying low-key should be quite difficult.

Suddenly, Lin Qingmo sensed a scorching gaze landing on him.

He looked up.

Qian Renxue was staring fixedly at him.

That look was different from when she saw him without clothes just a moment ago.

Before, it was panic mixed with shame and anger; now, it was scrutiny and assessment.

It was like a hunter examining a rare Spirit Beast, calculating exactly how many points this Spirit Beast was worth.

"What do you mean by staring at me like that?"

Lin Qingmo felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze and subconsciously took half a step back.

Then he suddenly realized that he was still in the secret room.

Secret room!

Qian Renxue!

The Qian family.

Qian Xunji!

Several keywords flashed rapidly through Lin Qingmo’s mind, quickly forming a connection that made his scalp tingle.

He blurted out: "You didn’t trigger the Qian family genes and want to learn from your father to lock me in a secret room, right?"

"???"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then her face instantly darkened.

Although she didn’t fully understand what "triggering genes" meant, she understood the four words "learn from your father" clearly.

"What kind of nonsense are you thinking about in your head?" Qian Renxue said through gritted teeth.

"Ahem, just kidding."

Lin Qingmo coughed twice and quickly changed the subject.

"So what exactly do you want by staring at me?"

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes.

That look reminded Lin Qingmo of the expression of a feline before hunting.

"I want to know, how strong is your strength now?"

Lin Qingmo spread his hands: "Isn’t it just as you see, Rank 60."

"Rank 60?"

Qian Renxue sneered.

"Do you think I would believe that?"

"A Spirit Master who can achieve a Breakthrough during a Lightning Tribulation, a Spirit Master who possesses a 100,000-year soul ring, how could your true combat power only be Rank 60?"

She took a step forward.

"What I want to hear is not your spirit powerRank, but your true combat power."

Lin Qingmo was stunned.

He looked Qian Renxue up and down, seeing a certain extremely familiar light in her eyes.

That kind of light, he had seen in the eyes of every militant fanatic.

"You don’t want to fight me, do you?" Lin Qingmo asked tentatively.

Qian Renxue’s eyes lit up.

"That’s right."

Her tone carried a hint of irrepressible excitement; it was a sense of anticipation for finally finding a suitable opponent.

The Seraphim Martial Soul appeared faintly behind her, casting mottled light and shadows on the walls of the secret room with its golden glow.

Lin Qingmo was speechless.

"You are a genuine Spirit Emperor."

He pointed at Qian Renxue, then pointed at himself.

"I just broke through to Rank 60, and haven’t even obtained my sixth spirit ring yet. Is it really okay for an old-school Spirit Emperor to bully a quasi-Spirit Emperor like me?"

He had already sensed that Qian Renxue’s spirit powerRank was around Rank 62.

InnateRank 20 spirit power, Seraphim Martial Soul, the direct Bloodline of Spirit Hall’s Qian family.

These halos stacked together made Qian Renxue’s strength far beyond that of an ordinary Rank 62 Spirit Master.

But having said that, Lin Qingmo silently complained in his heart.

In the original work, Qian Renxue had InnateRank 20 spirit power, definitely the number one talent on the continent.

Yet now, at about twenty-two years old, she is only a Spirit Emperor, and it seems she is only a Spirit Saint around twenty-nine.

This Cultivation speed, for an ordinary person, of course, counts as a Prodigy.

But for an InnateRank 20 Angel God position successor, it really doesn’t look like much.

I don’t know if she is usually too busy playing the Crown Prince to Cultivate, or if Qian Daoliu arranged too many courses for her, squeezing out all her Cultivation time.

If this talent were given to Tang San, that guy would probably dare to single-handedly fight a Titled Douluo by the age of twenty.

"What are you thinking about?"

Qian Renxue’s voice interrupted Lin Qingmo’s internal monologue.

"Nothing, just sighing at your Cultivation speed."

Lin Qingmo said nonsense with a straight face: "It’s quite fast, really quite fast."

Qian Renxue always felt that this guy’s expression didn’t look like he was complimenting someone, but she couldn’t be bothered to pursue it.

She stared at Lin Qingmo, her tone firm: "I know your strength is not as simple as your spirit power shows."

"A Spirit Master who possesses a 100,000-year soul ring, a monster who can achieve a Breakthrough during a Lightning Tribulation, your combat power is definitely far beyond your Rank."

Qian Renxue knew it too well.

Because her Seraphim Martial Soul was also a Divine RankSpirit, and her strength could not be measured by ordinary standards either.

And the feeling Lin Qingmo gave her was even more dangerous than she herself was.

"But I can give you a promise."

Qian Renxue held up a finger: "I will not use my sixth Spirit Ability."

"If I use it, I lose."

Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow.

This condition was actually quite sincere.

A Rank 62 Spirit Emperor’s sixth Spirit Ability, that was a real killing move.

Qian Renxue voluntarily sealed this move, which was equivalent to adding a limiter to herself.

He thought about it.

Anyway, he had just broken through and needed a suitable opponent to test his strength.

Qian Renxue was top-tier in both spirit powerRank and Spirit quality, simply a chosen target.

No, a chosen sparring partner.

"Fine, I agree."

Lin Qingmo nodded, then changed the subject, "But I have one condition."

"Speak."

"You don’t need to Seal your sixth Spirit Ability; you are allowed to use your full strength."

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Lin Qingmo flexed his shoulders, the corners of his mouth curling into an arc.

"Since it’s testing strength, I have to test the limit."

"If you hold back, I won’t have fun fighting. And..."

He paused, his smile gaining a hint of sharpness.

"I also want to see just how strong I am now."

Qian Renxue stared at him for three seconds, then she also smiled.

That smile carried appreciation, and also Battle Intent.

"Good, then let’s go all out."

The atmosphere between the two instantly became scorching, and Battle Intent collided in the air, creating silent sparks.

Lin Qingmo suddenly raised his hand: "Wait, there is one more question."

"What is it now?"

"It’s not very good to fight in the city right now, is it?"

Lin Qingmo pointed to the floor beneath his feet.

"With one of us with the Seraphim Martial Soul fully activated, and the other with a 100,000-year soul ring fully activated, isn’t that equivalent to holding a megaphone and shouting ’There’s a situation here, come and investigate quickly’?"

Qian Renxue calmed down.

What he said made sense.

"I have naturally considered it." Qian Renxue said, "Go outside the city."

"Outside the city?"

"There is a stretch of barren mountains to the northwest of Heaven Dou City, rarely visited by people, and the distance is also suitable."

Qian Renxue clearly had already thought of the location.

"And there is a natural valley terrain there, so combat fluctuations are not easily leaked."

She paused, then added: "We will take the secret passage, we won’t be discovered."

Lin Qingmo looked at Qian Renxue’s confident appearance and couldn’t help but sigh: "You’ve done quite thorough preparation work; it seems this wasn’t an impromptu idea?"

Qian Renxue did not answer, just turned and walked out of the secret room.

When she reached the door, she turned her head back.

Her golden eyes were burning with scorching Battle Intent.

"Don’t let me down, Lin Qingmo."

Lin Qingmo followed her footsteps, smiling and responding: "I should be the one saying that."

Two figures disappeared one after another into the shadows of the secret room, following the secret passage that only Qian Renxue knew, and snuck out of Heaven Dou City.
