Chapter 112 Qian Renxue's Happy Childhood, Soul Core
"Mom, when is Dad coming back?"
Qian Renxue wrapped her arms around Ling Yuan's neck, tilted her head, and asked, her big eyes blinking.
Ling Yuan smiled and reached out to tidy her wind-blown blonde hair. "It should be soon."
"Will Dad bring me something delicious?" Qian Renxue blinked, her face full of anticipation.
Ling Yuan gently tapped her forehead. "You, all you ever think about is eating."
As the mother and daughter were chatting and laughing, a tall, slender figure walked into the courtyard.
It was Qian Xunji. His steps were unhurried, and a faint smile was on his face.
"Oh, Dad's home!"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up immediately, and she squirmed in Ling Yuan's arms, her little arms and legs flailing wildly.
"Mommy, put me down! Put me down!"
Ling Yuan smiled and put her on the ground.
As soon as she let go, Qian Renxue ran out, her short legs moving incredibly fast, her little skirt fluttering slightly in the wind.
Qian Xunji quickly took two steps forward, squatted down, and opened his arms.
Qian Renxue buried her head in his chest and nuzzled against him.
The next moment, he lifted Qian Renxue high into his arms.
"Xiaoxue, do you miss Dad?"
Qian Xunji's voice was very low and gentle, his eyes full of doting affection.
At this moment, he showed no trace of the Pope's majesty and was just like an ordinary father.
"Yes," Qian Renxue answered crisply.
Then she changed the subject. "Dad, did you bring me anything delicious?"
Qian Xunji couldn't help but laugh when he saw her expectant look.
"Of course." He freed one hand and took out a beautifully packaged pastry from his soul tool.
After opening it, he held it to Qian Renxue's lips. "Here, Xiaoxue, have a taste."
Qian Renxue held the pastry in her two small hands, lowered her head, and took a bite, a little crumb getting on the corner of her mouth.
"Wow, this is delicious!" Her eyes lit up immediately, and she mumbled indistinctly.
Immediately afterward, she brought the pastry in her hand to Qian Xunji's mouth, her little face full of seriousness. "Dad, you eat too!"
Qian Xunji lowered his head, took a small bite, and nodded with a smile. "Mmm, it's really delicious."
Qian Renxue turned her head again, holding up the half-pastry and waving it at Ling Yuan.
"Mom, you eat too."
Ling Yuan walked over, took a small bite, and said with a smile, "Alright, it's almost dinner time, so eat less."
"But it's so delicious!" Qian Renxue pouted, her tone slightly aggrieved, and took another bite.
Ling Yuan smiled helplessly, reached out, and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, her movements tender and affectionate.
The family of three was enjoying a warm moment when two figures appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
It was Su Mo and Bibi Dong.
They had just arrived at the Spirit Hall, and their purpose in coming here was quite simple.
Firstly, to let them know she was safe and sound. Secondly, Su Mo had been in seclusion for a long time and hadn't visited Qian Renxue in a while, so he came to check on her.
"Oh, it's Brother Su Mo!"
Qian Renxue immediately became excited and struggled desperately in Qian Xunji's arms. "Dad, put me down quickly."
Seeing this, Qian Xunji felt a pang of sadness and put Qian Renxue down.
Qian Renxue ran up to Su Mo in a flash, hugged his leg, and looked up at him with her little face.
"Brother Su Mo, you haven't come to see Xiaoxue in so long. Xiaoxue misses you so much."
Su Mo squatted down and reached out to touch her head. "Brother missed you too, that's why I came to see you."
Bibi Dong stood to the side, hands on her hips, deliberately putting on a stern face. "Little Xue'er, don't you miss your sister?"
Qian Renxue quickly let go of Su Mo, turned around, and hugged Bibi Dong's long legs. "I miss you."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to pinch her little cheek. "That's more like it."
At this moment, Qian Xunji and Ling Yuan walked over.
"Was the trip successful?" Qian Xunji asked.
"Yes, it went quite smoothly," Su Mo nodded.
"Alright," Ling Yuan said with a smile. "Don't just stand there, come inside. Dong'er, Xiao Mo, have dinner here tonight."
Su Mo smiled and nodded. "Okay, then I'll trouble you, teacher and teacher's wife."
The group chatted and laughed as they prepared to go inside.
However, Qian Renxue refused to be held by anyone else and insisted on being held by Su Mo.
This made Bibi Dong a little jealous. She often came to play with Qian Renxue, while Su Mo had only come a few times. She didn't know why Qian Renxue was so attached to Su Mo.
At the dinner table, Qian Renxue was like a ray of sunshine, making everyone very happy.
After dinner, Su Mo and Bibi Dong got up to say goodbye.
Qian Renxue tugged at Su Mo's sleeve reluctantly. "Brother Su Mo, will you come again tomorrow?"
Su Mo patted her head. "I will come."
Su Mo and Bibi Dong left the place and walked toward the Holy Son Palace under the moonlight.
...
The next day.
Inside the meditation room.
Su Mo sat cross-legged.
He was just one step away from reaching the level 90 bottleneck.
But instead of rushing in, he fell into deep thought.
"Should he condense a soul core...?"
Su Mo suddenly thought of the soul core of later generations.
Although the soul core was not very useful to someone who was about to become a god,
at least for now, it could still bring tangible benefits.
Because almost all of his soul rings were high-limit soul rings, although the damage was high, the soul power consumed when releasing soul skills was also extremely terrifying.
If he had a soul core, his endurance would be greatly improved.
Moreover, even if the soul core was not very useful to him, the Soul Douluo of the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong and others around him could also condense soul cores to enhance their combat power in the future.
If successful, it would represent a qualitative leap in the strength of the entire Spirit Hall.
The problem was that current Soul Masters had no concept of this at all.
Su Mo only knew the general idea.
He remembered that the soul core seemed to be the result of compressing liquid soul power into a solid state and storing it in the dantian.
It sounded simple, but it was extremely dangerous in practice.
The slightest carelessness could lead to an out-of-control explosion.
Therefore, Su Mo dared not act rashly, lest something unexpected happen and the losses outweighed the gains.
But soon, Su Mo thought of the ferocious beasts now, such as Di Tian and Xue Di, who seemed to have soul cores.
However, with his current strength, going to the Lake of Life would be suicide. Although he had the God of Asura behind him, what if something unexpected happened?
After all, there were too many ferocious beasts there, including a Silver Dragon King with god-level strength.
Su Mo frowned slightly. "To be on the safe side, let's wait until he reaches level 90 before making a trip to the far north."
Su Mo immediately made up his mind.
Although Xue Di's strength was terrifying, Su Mo was not without the ability to fight her.
He possessed divine power within him, though not in large quantities, but it was Asura divine power of extremely high quality.
If divine power were incorporated into his soul skill, the power of the soul skill would surely rise to another level.
Having set a goal, Su Mo no longer hesitated and immediately closed his eyes, entering a meditative state.
