(Note: The original work has very few descriptions of Qian Renxue's Spirit Abilities, so I've added some personal settings here.)
"Fight me?"
Ye Qiu pointed at himself, looking at him in surprise, not understanding why he would have such an idea.
"That's right!" Xue Qinghe turned to look at Ye Qiu. "I also want to see how strong the genius my teacher speaks of truly is!"
"Let's not, then."
Ye Qiu shook his head; he knew his Spirit Abilities well, and they weren't suitable for sparring.
"Hmph! Today, you must fight me! This is also preparation for our future Spirit Fusion Skill training."
Xue Qinghe snorted coldly, not giving Ye Qiu another chance to refuse.
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Ye Qiu and quickly ran into the dense forest.
"I'll wait for you inside!"
A voice drifted out from the dense forest, and Xue Qinghe had already disappeared.
"Kid! You'd better go quickly; at most, you'll just get a good beating, hehe!"
The Porcupinefish Douluo, seeing Ye Qiu still standing there in a daze, couldn't help but urge him, speaking with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Haha~" Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly; he was only afraid of hurting him.
However, since he had agreed to train the Spirit Fusion Skill with him, he really should cooperate!
Whoosh!
After a brief thought, Ye Qiu dashed inside.
"Snake Lance, how long do you think that kid can last?"
"Hard to say. Let's just stay vigilant! The Young Lady's identity cannot be compromised!"
Snake Lance shook his head. For such a monstrous talent that defied common sense, he dared not make a rash judgment.
In the dense forest.
The sunlight filtering through the interwoven branches and leaves was like shimmering golden dragon scales.
Ye Qiu strolled through it and quickly found the trail!
In a clearing that seemed to have been deliberately cleaned, a golden figure stood.
Golden long hair and a golden long dress; just her back exuded an aura of majesty and holiness!
"Very good! I'm pleased you came!"
Sensing Ye Qiu's approach, an ethereal voice, as beautiful as a trickling spring, rang out, making one feel refreshed and at ease, yet also carrying a sense of high-and-mighty oppression.
"Is this your true appearance?"
Ye Qiu stood behind her, not expecting Qian Renxue to directly drop her disguise.
"Indeed!"
Her voice was like an oriole emerging from a valley, clear and translucent.
Qian Renxue slowly turned, her body angled, a faint smile gracing her delicate face.
"Let's formally introduce ourselves. My name is Qian Renxue!"
When she turned her head, the surrounding leaves seemed to rustle, beckoning and swaying towards her.
Ye Qiu was momentarily entranced; she was indeed the woman who could make the Star Dou Great Forest bow before her!
She looked eighteen or nineteen, with skin as fair as snow, slender, majestic golden phoenix eyes, a sculpted nose, and a graceful, upright posture.
She wore a one-piece golden palace-style long dress, with minimal decorative patterns, a clean and sharp style, and flowing curves that could not hide her proud figure.
A golden stand-up collar covered her snow-white swan neck, and her golden long hair was casually draped, inviting the occasional breeze that swept through the forest.
Her beauty overshadowed ancient and modern, the bright moon shamed her jade countenance;
All gods praised her, her purity defied frost and snow!
"What? Are you surprised?"
Qian Renxue was very pleased with Ye Qiu's reaction, a hint of smugness appearing on her face.
Then she frowned, gnashing her teeth.
"What do you mean by shaking your head!?"
"Hehe..." Ye Qiu chuckled lightly, extending his hand and pinching his index finger and thumb together.
"It's not really surprise; just a tiny, tiny bit of amazement!"
"A tiny, tiny bit?"
Seeing Ye Qiu's stubbornness, Qian Renxue's expression turned cold, then she was amused to anger.
"Hmph, haha."
Her smile grew colder. Not achieving the desired effect, she was somewhat vexed and embarrassed.
She had tried on clothes for a long time in her secret room before picking out one she was satisfied with!
"Hmph!" She gritted her teeth, put away her smile, and scoffed disdainfully, her heart already burning with rage.
A tiny, tiny bit? Standing up a woman? Disgusting?
This time, she would settle all these new and old grudges together!
"You should be ready, right!?"
Xue Qinghe's clear voice rang out as she took a stance, facing Ye Qiu.
Beneath her feet, five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—appeared.
Behind her, three pairs of golden wings slowly unfurled, and a phantom of a Seraphim, covered in scorching golden flames, emerged behind her.
"Mhm! I'm ready!"
Ye Qiu didn't dare to be careless; the Sharingan had already appeared in his eyes.
"Where are your spirit rings?" Qian Renxue frowned. Although she had already confirmed it from Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, she still wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows and still released his two yellow spirit rings.
"..." When Qian Renxue saw this, confusion rose in her heart again.
Why would he bother with that condition when he could clearly hide the age of his spirit rings?
"What's wrong?" Noticing the strangeness in her eyes, Ye Qiu asked.
"Nothing!"
Shaking her head, temporarily clearing those thoughts, Qian Renxue's voice suddenly became low.
"Let's... begin!"
"Mhm!... So fast!"
As Ye Qiu agreed, his pupils sharply contracted!
Under his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Qian Renxue's figure, leaving trails of afterimages, attacked Ye Qiu.
"First Soul Skill, Angelic Charge!"
The first spirit ring beneath her feet lit up rapidly.
The golden light on Qian Renxue's body suddenly condensed into her hand, and she threw her delicate fist towards Ye Qiu!
She perfectly embodied the saying: still as a virgin, moving like thunder!
Without time to hesitate, purple suddenly appeared in Ye Qiu's blood-red eyes, having already activated the Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
Qian Renxue's movements were fully captured in his sight!
Mysterious Jade Hand!
Ye Qiu also raised his wrist and sank his knees. To be safe, he covered his hands with an extra layer of spirit power and punched back at her.
"Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted coldly, her hand movements pouring down like a violent storm.
Bang, bang, bang!
After a few exchanged blows, a figure flew back.
His legs dragged long furrows on the ground.
Ye Qiu's hands trembled slightly, his eyes fixed on Qian Renxue, who continued to press closer.
As expected of a divine Spirit, although her First Soul Skill was close-combat, each punch would form a golden shield, allowing for both offense and defense!
Several times, Ye Qiu tried to counterattack using the Sharingan's observational abilities, but he was blocked.
"Hehe... Again!"
Xue Qinghe cried out, already charging in front of Ye Qiu, a delicate fist smashing directly towards Ye Qiu's face.
The holy aura attached to her fist had just touched Ye Qiu when the slight smile on Qian Renxue's lips suddenly froze on her face.
The golden fist seemed to hit air, missing its target, and she stumbled, almost falling.
Her body passed by Ye Qiu, her eyes momentarily losing focus.
Ye Qiu wouldn't be foolish enough to collide with her again.
He had already sensed that Qian Renxue's divine force had the ability to dissolve and suppress an opponent's spirit power.
His Mysterious Jade Hand had almost collapsed from being unable to maintain itself, and his spirit power had also been lost.
After using Kamui to phase through, Qian Renxue was now completely exposed from behind.
Ye Qiu seized the opportunity. Before she could stabilize herself, he covered his hand with another layer of Mysterious Jade color and struck her back.
"Hmph." Having just passed through Ye Qiu, Qian Renxue, who had already regained her senses, sensed the attack from behind and smiled calmly.
The second spirit ring beneath her feet subtly lit up, and a faint halo covered her body, making her figure appear ethereal.
"What's going on!" Ye Qiu watched in surprise as his fist sank into Qian Renxue's body.
Unable to stop his momentum, his body continued to rush forward, a warm breeze brushing his face, directly passing through Qian Renxue.
At this moment, Ye Qiu felt as if he was witnessing his own Kamui!
In just an instant, the situation reversed, offense and defense swapped!
Qian Renxue sneered. Although the spirit power attached to Ye Qiu's hand earlier had caused her some pain, her movements were not slow at all.
An awkward imitation.
Mimicking Ye Qiu, she activated her First Soul Skill and punched towards Ye Qiu's back!
This time, Qian Renxue didn't hold back.
With a swing of her fist, the holy aura on it transformed into a thick golden streak, directly striking Ye Qiu.
Bang!
The golden streak pierced straight through Ye Qiu, hitting the surrounding trees and causing several explosions, nearly severing several large trees at their trunks!
This was the true Angelic Charge!
"Did he dodge again?" Seeing that Ye Qiu was still standing there unharmed, Qian Renxue prepared to deliver a finishing blow, moving much faster than before!
"Hey~ Are you serious!"
Seeing her relentlessly press her advantage, Ye Qiu quickly reacted, fighting and retreating.
After a brief moment of surprise, he immediately extended his hand, on which three walnut-sized spheres of spirit power had already condensed, instantly completing their rotation and compression, turning into marble-sized pellets.
Self-created Spirit Ability, Rasengan!
He didn't have much spirit power now, so he could only play with the compressed version for now...
With a forceful swing, three pellets shot towards the attacking Qian Renxue.
At the same time, Ye Qiu also used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to quickly distance himself from Qian Renxue.
The Rasengan stirred up ripples in the air, almost sweeping Qian Renxue's golden hair on her shoulder.
She could feel the power contained within them; it was definitely not weak!
The fourth purple spirit ring beneath her feet subtly flickered, and her voice carried devotion!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Angelic Blessing!" (Personal setting)
As her Seraphim wings flapped, a golden transparent, all-encompassing shield appeared around Qian Renxue.
Her previously tense, pretty face also relaxed, and the slight damage she had sustained was completely recovered.
Her Angelic Blessing, though somewhat high in consumption, was well worth the cost!
It could not only increase her defense by 200% but also purify her body with divine force, dispel negative statuses, and provide a certain healing effect with each use!
Afterward, the spirit power required for each use of the first three Spirit Abilities would be reduced by 50%, lasting for half an hour!
Thump, thump, thump! Due to their rotation, the three Rasengan collided with the shield, deviating from their original trajectories!
Whoosh! Bang!
The three Rasengan flew into the forest, creating bowl-sized, forearm-deep craters in the trees.
"Are these your self-created Spirit Abilities?"
Qian Renxue stood still, looking at the destruction Ye Qiu had caused with interest.
But for a long time, she didn't hear Ye Qiu's reply.
Turning her head, she found him looking at her strangely.
Qian Renxue tilted her head slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Hehe... Are you surprised that your attacks pass through me?"
"I am indeed very curious!" Ye Qiu nodded.
"It's my Second Soul Skill! It's called Wings of Nothingness (manga), which allows me to enter a state of nothingness, making me immune to physical attacks, immune to 50% of energy attacks, and increasing my speed by 20% for one minute afterward!"
Qian Renxue spoke with a faint smile, explaining her Spirit Ability clearly.
'No wonder even though my attacks passed through her, she still showed a somewhat displeased expression. So, she can't completely nullify energy attacks?'
Ye Qiu mused inwardly, then looked at her strangely again, because Qian Renxue's voice hadn't stopped.
Like pouring beans, she clearly explained her other four Spirit Abilities to Ye Qiu.
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"Hmph! I just want to make this match a little fairer!"
Qian Renxue put away the smile on her face, her gaze burning as she looked at Ye Qiu. If before it was just to teach Ye Qiu a lesson, now her mindset had changed!
In their earlier exchange, she hadn't intended to use the latter three Spirit Abilities, but Ye Qiu's performance made her realize that perhaps at the same level, she wouldn't be Ye Qiu's opponent!
"Just now, besides using a Spirit Ability similar to Wings of Nothingness, you didn't seem to use any others. So, next, I will take this seriously!"
As her voice fell, the only black spirit ring beneath her feet flashed, and the faint golden flames burning on Qian Renxue's body quickly condensed into a holy sword!
Formed from holy fire, it can be used as a sword or a hand blade, flexible in use, powerful in attack, and most importantly, it can increase the purification effect of angelic spirit power by 300%!
An ordinary Spirit Master who touches it will inevitably suffer lacerations, and their spirit power will be depleted by 80 to 90 percent!
Whoosh!
Qian Renxue held the sword, performed a beautiful sword flourish, her expression serious, the sword tip pointing directly at Ye Qiu's brow.
"..."
Ye Qiu looked at Qian Renxue, who was radiating light, feeling a bit bitter.
"Hoo~"
Closing his eyes, he gently exhaled. It had been a long time since he had fought seriously, and although he still couldn't go all out this time, he wanted to witness the power of the Seraphim!
When his eyes opened again, the demonic blood-red light in them bloomed even more enchantingly, with purple stamens hidden within!
"Since that's the case, then come on!"
Whoosh!
As soon as Ye Qiu finished preparing, Qian Renxue launched several slashes, and golden sword qi swept towards Ye Qiu.
Pop! It cut through Ye Qiu's body as if cutting through air, without any obstruction.
Wherever it passed, the ground turned scorched and much of it was evaporated.
Ye Qiu no longer paused, pressing closer to Qian Renxue. At close range, he could effectively suppress the swinging of the long sword in her hand!
"Haha... This kid actually made the Young Lady serious; he really is a monster!"
Above the dense forest surrounding the clearing, Porcupinefish and Snake Lance stood at the tops of trees on opposite sides, facing each other, wary of movements behind them, and constantly observing the battle between Qian Renxue and Ye Qiu.
Hearing Porcupinefish's telepathic message, Snake Lance nodded in agreement.
"Just watch closely. I have a feeling this kid will surprise us again!"
In the clearing, the ground was covered with sword marks and craters, and the surrounding trees had all been felled in a circle.
After slashing through Ye Qiu's body again, Qian Renxue lightly tapped her toes, her six wings flapping, and she floated backward as lightly as a swallow.
"Ye Qiu! Are you done or not!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. She had no idea how many times she had slashed at Ye Qiu, but he was like a loach, impossible to catch!
Ye Qiu's condition wasn't too good either. Standing not far in front of her, his sleeve was somewhat scorched. He had just been grazed by the holy sword, and half a tenth of his spirit power had been dissolved.
The Seraphim, truly terrifying!
"Hehe..." Facing this situation, Ye Qiu could only give a bitter smile. If he didn't go all out, he couldn't break her moves!
He could only use Kamui, Rasengan, and genjutsu against her for now. Although her mental force was stronger than Ye Qiu's, it still had a disruptive effect.
"Hmph! Since you like phasing so much! Then you can just stay phased!"
Qian Renxue stiffened her neck and snorted coldly.
"Third Soul Skill, Angelic Feather Blade!"
As her third spirit ring lit up, her six golden wings shimmered.
Feathers burning with holy fire detached from her wings, floated in the air, and slowly transformed into six golden sharp blades, constantly circling around Qian Renxue. (Personal setting: like Kayle's Silverwings)
"Go!"
Wherever Qian Renxue pointed her sword tip, the blades followed.
First, a golden sword qi attacked, and Ye Qiu dodged it by shifting his body.
Seizing this opportunity, the six blades attacked Ye Qiu one after another, continuously cutting through his body.
"Facing such continuous attacks, let's see how long you can last!"
As she spoke, seeing that Ye Qiu still dared to charge towards her, the three pairs of wings behind Qian Renxue flapped, and she slowly flew up.
"Even like this, you still dare to use such despicable genjutsu to disturb my mind!"
Her face slightly flushed, she looked down at Ye Qiu below, her eyes filled with shame and anger, strongly resisting the urge to fly down and tackle Ye Qiu.
Her red lips slightly parted, the holy aura dispelling the heat in her heart, golden light filled her eyes.
"Hmph! Now I'll show you what a true divine Spirit is!"
"Domain Expansion!"
A delicate cry echoed through the space above.
