Chapter 31: No Attack at All!
The next day.
"Miss."
In the study, Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil, who had stood guard for a day and a night, showed no signs of fatigue. Their eyes were sharp and bright!
Qian Renxue's mental state had transformed dramatically after her rest!
Overnight, she went from a six-year "failure" to one of the continent's top talents, casting off years of gloom!
A newfound confidence radiated from her, enhancing her already luminous and holy aura. Sunlight streamed into the study, bathing her in a glow that made her appear especially sacred and dazzling!
Qian Renxue smiled brightly. "Uncles, ask whatever you want!"
Falling Devil and Fifteen Ton gazed at her, shock evident in their eyes.
Changed!
Miss had truly changed!
Overnight!
Having protected her for six years, they knew her previous state well!
Though chosen as the Angel God's heir, they could still sense the subtle inferiority Qian Renxue occasionally let slip.
The Angel God's favor seemed to cleanse something, yet it also seemed ineffective!
But now, that inferiority and sensitivity were gone!
They felt a powerful confidence emanating from her!
Confidence in her strength! Her talent!
This self-assuredness, rooted in herself, was dazzling and inspiring!
Infected by her smile, the faint fatigue in Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil's hearts vanished.
Fifteen Ton Douluo stepped forward, barely containing his excitement, his voice trembling slightly:
"Miss, may we see your Spirit rings?"
Qian Renxue smiled. "Uncles, didn't you sense them last night?"
"Martial Spirit! Possession!"
A holy light bloomed, and a massive, indistinct figure appeared behind her. Simultaneously, three pairs of golden wings unfurled on her back!
Three Spirit rings—two purple, one black—slowly materialized before Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil!
As the rings appeared, the two level-96 Spirit Hall priests' bodies trembled!
Even though they'd sensed it last night!
Even though they'd guessed the outcome!
Even though they'd prepared mentally for a day and a night!
When these three heaven-defying Spirit rings appeared before them, the thrill, the excitement, the soaring exhilaration was impossible to suppress!
"Three thousand eight hundred years! Eight thousand years! Ten thousand years! By the Angel God above!"
"Two purple, one black! Level 37 in one night! A talent unmatched in the world!"
Falling Devil and Fifteen Ton muttered, their eyes blazing as they stared at the rings, frozen in awe!
Innate level 20 was shocking! The Angel God's oracle was staggering! But compared to these Spirit rings, they paled?
This two-purple, one-black combination was beyond what a normal innate level 20 or even a typical Angel God heir could achieve!
Yet Miss did it!
The High Priest's granddaughter did it!
The future Spirit Hall heir did it!
Qian Renxue did it!
A living legend! A genius destined to be etched in Douluo Continent's history!
Fifteen Ton swallowed hard, his Titled Douluo voice hoarse.
"Miss, what are you—"
Smack!
Falling Devil lightly tapped Fifteen Ton, snapping him back to clarity.
Then, he glared at Fifteen Ton and, ignoring his puzzled look, asked:
"Miss, you've just broken through to Soul Elder. Should we arrange some Soul Ancestors or Soul Kings to help you master your soul skills?"
As Titled Douluo, they could spar with her, but the results wouldn't be ideal.
Even suppressing their soul skills to the limit, their physical strength could easily overwhelm Qian Renxue's attacks!
Training with them was less effective than facing peers of her level.
Considering her extraordinary Spirit rings, Soul Ancestors or Soul Kings would be more suitable sparring partners.
Plus, they had their own tasks. They were here to help Qian Renxue conquer the Heaven Dou Empire, not to retire.
Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then shook her head with a smile. "I'm not afraid to tell you, Uncles—my three Spirit rings are all auxiliary and amplification skills."
"So, there's little need to hone combat skills right now."
All three being auxiliary and amplification skills, with no attack skills, made fighting peers tricky. Sparring with Soul Ancestors or Soul Kings? That's just asking for a beating!
Better to wait until her teacher taught her fighting techniques.
"What?"
Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil's expressions shifted!
Fifteen Ton hurriedly asked, "Miss, before the High Priest left, didn't he tell you which soul skills to choose for the Angel Martial Spirit?"
"This… this…"
Fifteen Ton looked anxious. Scolding her now wouldn't help, but not scolding…
Top Martial Spirit clans, especially those with millennia-old Angel Martial Spirits, had meticulously planned cultivation paths!
From the first to the ninth Spirit ring, specific soul beasts and skills were chosen!
Even with deviations, they stayed within control!
Now, Qian Renxue revealed her first three soul skills were all auxiliary amplifications!
This clearly deviated from the Angel Martial Spirit's established paths!
No wonder they weren't informed during the absorption. This was too reckless!
Seeing Fifteen Ton's anxiety, Qian Renxue's heart warmed.
She knew he was worried for her and understood that, normally, following her grandfather's path was best.
But… she had her teacher…
A trace of resolve crossed her face. "Uncle Fifteen Ton, don't worry. Xiaoxue chose this path because she has her own plan. I won't gamble with my future!"
Fifteen Ton opened his mouth but said nothing.
Her own plan? No matter how brilliant, could it surpass the Angel clan's millennia of wisdom?
No one could!
If Qian Renxue hadn't already shocked him so much, he'd have scolded her like an elder!
The High Priest was gone, and Miss had just reclaimed her talent, yet now… Sigh!
Seeing Fifteen Ton's disappointment, Falling Devil was momentarily stunned, then shook his head.
He smiled at Qian Renxue and said to Fifteen Ton:
"After six years, don't you know what kind of person Miss is? Would she toy with her own talent?"
"Her talent is unprecedented! I believe the Angel God is watching and guiding her! Miss's choice must have the Angel God's approval!"
"Do you dare question the Angel God's decision?"
Fifteen Ton fell silent at Falling Devil's righteous words.
"Come on! Let's step outside and cool off!"
