Sometimes, once things are discussed openly, relationships can actually become much closer.
Xiao Chenyu could clearly sense that the people in the Crown Prince's residence were treating him much better.
Even She Long became much more enthusiastic in his speech.
Qian Renxue, or rather Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, became less casual on the surface due to her changed identity, but secretly she remained as charming and adorable as ever.
Recently, a rumor has been circulating in Tiandou City that the Third Prince's innate soul power is as high as level 8, which has put pressure on Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who has chosen to go into seclusion to cultivate his soul power.
Xiao Chenyu heard this news from Zhang Dong.
Although the Spirit Hall no longer restricted him, he had no intention of going out.
We'll have more time to go out in the future, so there's no need to rush now.
"Uncle She, isn't it about time we set off?"
Seeing that She Long was not in a hurry at all, Xiao Chenyu became a little anxious.
"No rush, we have to wait. Tell me what kind of soul beast you want first."
She Long took a sip of the strong liquor on the table, still maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.
Today was the day we were supposed to set off, and he could understand Xiao Chenyu's feelings.
Hearing that they had to wait, Xiao Chenyu had a guess in his mind, so he simply said, "Since there's nothing else to do, I'll just say it anyway."
"Uncle She, have you ever heard of the Moon Dream Tapir?"
"Moon Dream Baku? What kind of soul beast is that?"
She Long looked blank, clearly having never heard of it.
"Uncle She wrote in the book he gave me that a very rare type of soul beast lives in Sunset Forest. They have extremely high spiritual power, live in damp and dark environments, like to bask in the moonlight, and have the talent to enter other people's dreams," Xiao Chenyu explained.
"A spirit-type soul beast..." She Long nodded, but then suddenly realized something was wrong, "Aren't you a speed-attack type beast spirit?"
During this period, he sparred with Xiao Chenyu quite a bit.
According to Xiao Chenyu, it would be a waste not to use such a good Title Douluo sparring partner.
In She Long's opinion, Xiao Chenyu's combat experience was utterly nonexistent.
As for combat talent, She Long only had one comment: overwhelming strength is a very good path.
The only commendable aspect is its speed, which far surpasses that of its competitors.
To put it bluntly, She Long had no doubt that Qian Renxue could easily defeat Xiao Chenyu in combat, but he had absolutely no hope of killing the kid.
Given such a high talent for speed, he should have focused on developing that skill. This is what She Long found strange; he didn't believe Xiao Chenyu would be unaware of these things.
"Uncle She, the spirit rings in the early stages aren't that important. Instead of pushing them to the limit and then trying to fix their weaknesses later, it's better to improve our mental strength early on. I don't want to be knocked down by someone's hypnosis."
This was certainly not Xiao Chenyu's true thought; it was just a prepared statement.
During this time, he read a lot of books from the Spirit Hall about spirit beasts and spirit rings. According to his calculations, after absorbing the Moon Dream Eater's spirit ring, what he would get would definitely be a support spirit skill with control.
In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of soul skills the Sky-Devouring Moon Wolf has.
What he cared more about was the Moon Dream Eater, a spiritual martial soul that could enter dreams.
From the moment he took the Blue Silver Emperor, he had already decided to take advantage of Tang San's family.
By the time Tang San enrolls in Notting Academy, he should have at least level 40 in soul power.
Direct hypnosis is definitely not advisable; if Tang Hao is discovered, they're doomed.
However, the method of entering a dream, combined with the difference in soul power, was enough to make Tang San and Tang Hao unable to detect it.
The only worry is Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, but before obtaining the immortal herb, it shouldn't be a major obstacle.
Notting Academy is Xiao family territory, so no one would suspect him if he came and went frequently.
Xiao Chenyu's purpose in doing this was very simple: Tang San was a treasure trove. Not to mention the methods of making hidden weapons, the Xuan Tian Gong series of techniques alone were enough to make him envious.
Of course, the reason he told She Long was also the reason why Xiao Chenyu chose this martial soul.
“Uncle She, you should know that my and Xiaoxue’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill has two abilities: control and attack. The attack part relies on Xiaoxue’s soul power, which is why it’s so powerful. The control part comes from my Martial Soul, and it’s essentially a kind of mental attack.”
"I was thinking, if I absorb a spirit-type spirit ring now, could I enhance my spirit fusion skill? Uncle She, you know I don't have much combat talent, so I can only assist Xiaoxue in battle from now on."
At this moment, Xiao Chenyu was completely open and honest.
What he said wasn't untrue; perhaps due to his past life's mindset, his combat talent was truly lacking.
The main problem is that other Soul Masters have a spirit of fighting to the death, while he always tries to hide.
This is nothing to worry about in casual sparring, but according to She Long, it is extremely deadly in a life-or-death battle.
The good thing is that Xiao Chenyu has an absolute advantage in speed, so even if he doesn't want to fight head-on, he won't lose his life.
Just as Xiao Chenyu was speaking, Qian Renxue walked into the courtyard.
Upon hearing these words, Qian Renxue gazed at Xiao Chenyu's retreating figure with a strange gleam in her eyes.
"You've got a good idea, kid. What if there aren't any spirit rings of the right age?"
She Long had already sensed Qian Renxue's arrival. He gave her a look and then brought up the main topic again.
After spending the past six months together, She Long was extremely satisfied with Xiao Chenyu's character and ideas.
At least Xiao Chenyu was genuinely considering Qian Renxue and their future, which She Long found commendable.
Just as Xiao Chenyu was about to say something, he felt a pair of small hands on his shoulders, and his expression stiffened slightly.
But when he felt that sense of familiarity, he felt relieved.
