Chapter 137 Qian Renxue Begins the Divine Test
"Grandpa, my soul power has reached level 70!" Qian Renxue is very busy now. Not only does she have to play the role of Xue Qinghe, but she also has to compete with Bibi Dong for power in the Spirit Hall. She has to run between Tiandou City and the Spirit Hall. Fortunately, the substitute arranged by the Spirit Hall was very well disguised. During the time when Qian Renxue returned to the Spirit Hall, no one outside knew that Xue Qinghe had been replaced again.
“Good! Xiaoxue, you have limited time for practice every day, but you can practice to level 23 at the age of 70. You are worthy of being the strongest genius in my Spirit Hall!” Qian Daoliu was very happy that his granddaughter could finally start the divine test.
"Thanks to the soul bones left by the Angel God, I absorbed four of them to achieve my current achievements."
Qian Daoliu praised, "Well, it is important to be the treasure left by the Angel God, but the requirements for the soul master to absorb the Angel God Suit are also very high. Possessing a six-winged angel martial soul is only a prerequisite. What is more important is to have super talent and be recognized by the Angel Suit before you can absorb it. Xue'er, you can successfully absorb 23 suits at the age of 4, which is a reflection of your talent and hard work."
"Even my grandfather only absorbed the fourth soul bone after becoming a Titled Douluo, and the fifth after becoming an Ultimate Douluo, but he never received the recognition of the sixth soul bone."
Qian Daoliu was very pleased when he saw his granddaughter's achievements. She was able to absorb four pieces of the set at the age of 23 without practicing with all her strength, which meant that the two sides had a high degree of compatibility and there was a great hope that she could get the recognition of the sixth soul bone. Only a hundred-level god could absorb the sixth piece, which also meant that his granddaughter had a great probability of starting the ninth test of the Angel God. Qian Daoliu would be able to see the birth of the Angel God in his lifetime and die without regrets.
"Xue'er, don't rush to get the seventh spirit ring. You are already qualified to start the God Test and accept inheritance at level 70. At that time, you will have the opportunity to obtain a God-given spirit ring. That is the spirit ring that best suits a spirit master and can give birth to the most suitable spirit skills for yourself."
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu took out the fifth soul bone of the Angel God Armor [Angel Torso Bone], "You should first familiarize yourself with this soul bone. The fifth soul bone Angel Torso Bone and the sixth soul bone Angel Skull are the most precious and powerful soul bones in the God Armor. There are also some insights left by the Angel God on them. It will be helpful for you to start the God Test."
"Ah, Grandpa, isn't this the torso bone you absorbed? How did you take it off? Are you injured?" Qian Renxue asked in panic. According to the rules of Douluo Continent, Titled Douluo can take down the absorbed soul bones, but can only take soul bones from the limbs. Each soul bone taken down will reduce the soul power by ten levels. Although she knew that Grandpa was protected by the power of the angel god, taking down the soul bones from the limbs would not consume soul power and would not cause any damage to the body. But now this is a torso bone! The torso bone and soul bone cannot be taken down, otherwise it will lead to death.
Qian Daoliu smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the rules circulated in Douluo Continent are only valid for mortals. Your grandfather and I are blessed by the angel god, so there will be no danger in removing the torso bone."
"Oh, so that's it, that's good, that's good." Qian Renxue finally realized that she was too nervous. Many great priests in the angel lineage had absorbed the fifth soul bone before, and then passed it on to the next generation of tribesmen who were capable of absorbing it. I have never heard of a great priest dying because of deprivation of the torso bone.
Qian Renxue took the angel's trunk bone back to comprehend, "What a familiar feeling, this fifth soul bone is more special than the four soul bones absorbed before, I feel, I feel that its spirituality is stronger. But I asked grandpa, he didn't have this feeling, what's going on?"
Qian Renxue attached the soul bone to her body, but every time at the critical moment, there was an invisible force preventing her from absorbing it. She clearly felt that she had been recognized, but she just couldn't absorb it, and always felt that something was missing.
"Could it be because my soul power is not enough?" Qian Renxue tried many times but failed, and couldn't help but guess to herself.
On the third day, Qian Renxue bathed and burned incense, then came to the statue of the Angel God in the worship hall, and together with her grandfather, she respectfully kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the statue of the Angel God.
Qian Daoliu kept bowing his head and muttering to himself, performing some kind of ancient ritual, which was basically thanking the ancestor Angel God for his care and for blessing his granddaughter to begin the Angel God's Nine Tests.
"Xue'er, are you ready?" Qian Daoliu was no longer the elegant man he had always been. Instead, he was covered in golden light, and the mighty soul power of the Extreme Douluo emerged, becoming the core of the Worship Hall. "Grandpa, I'm ready." It was the first time Qian Renxue saw her grandfather's soul power fully activated. She had never seen her grandfather take action. In her impression, her grandfather had always stayed in the Worship Hall, and even during her father's funeral, he had never left the jurisdiction of the Worship Hall.
"Black, black, black, black, black, black, red." Along with the appearance of the six-winged angel, nine super-age soul rings appeared on Qian Daoliu's body.
Immediately afterwards, a diamond-shaped golden gem flew out from between Qian Daoliu's eyebrows, and a golden light shot out directly, hitting the angel god statue's eyebrows.
The statue of the angel god suddenly seemed to come alive, and its eyes emitted energy that opened a golden vortex, sucking Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu in.
"Xue'er, follow Grandpa's flight path closely and don't stop."
Qian Daoliu was guiding the way ahead, and he flew towards the light ahead with ease and familiarity.
Qian Renxue just felt that her whole body was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. The energy there gave her a sense of intimacy that she had never experienced before.
I don’t know how long I flew, the light in front was getting closer and closer, and finally the light turned into a golden palace, which was very similar to the architectural style of the worship hall in the outside world, but it had a more sacred and heavy feeling.
"Grandpa, this is where!"
"The Angel Temple, the real Angel Temple, is also the place where the divine test begins. The worship hall outside is just the gate." Qian Daoliu said with admiration and respect.
It is called a hall, but it has no walls and looks more like a pavilion. There is also a statue of an angel god in the hall. Its pressure is even greater than that of the outside world. She opens her arms to embrace this world, and the starlight and golden light shine down, making her even more noble.
But there is one very strange thing. This statue is not golden like the one in the outside world. Instead, it is dull gray. It is out of place in this secret place and very abrupt.
"Grandpa, when I look at this statue, I feel a little depressed for some reason. It feels lifeless and I want to cry."
“Shut up, don’t talk nonsense.” Qian Daoliu hurriedly stopped Qian Renxue from continuing to speak, and then knelt down to the statue of the Angel God to apologize, “Don’t blame me, Lord Angel God, I was just too excited, and I made a slip of the tongue. I didn’t mean to offend you, and please forgive me.”
The statue of the angel god suddenly emitted a beam of energy that enveloped Qian Renxue. Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue knew that this was the beginning of a divine test, and she immediately followed her grandfather's previous instructions. She used her soul power to cut her palm, and traces of blood left their mark, floating towards the statue of the angel god.
