Chapter 32: Angel God is So Awesome!
Watching Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil leave, Qian Renxue sighed in relief.
She knew all too well the consequences of absorbing Spirit rings this way!
Overturning the Angel clan's millennia-old path in a single day? She feared Fifteen Ton and Falling Devil might lecture her.
After all, during those six dark years, they were the ones silently protecting her.
Sitting in the chair, Qian Renxue suddenly asked, "Teacher, weren't you worried I'd break down, maybe even go mad or worse? Few kids my age could handle such a blow, right?"
"Hm?"
Su Yu was caught off guard by her question, then chuckled:
"Suicide? Impossible, given your identity! Going mad? Even less likely! Your teacher's still here!"
"Teacher, can you control whether someone goes mad?" Qian Renxue asked with a faint smile.
"Simple. Your soul's been nurtured by my spiritual power. Feel comfy every time you sleep?"
"Heh! No way you'd break down in this situation! And your master would never let that happen!"
"But one thing I can't control is your willpower crumbling. If you'd sunk into despair and your mind collapsed..."
Su Yu paused, then said, "I'd just make you an Angel God and restore your willpower simultaneously."
"Then, I'd push you to God King, and that'd be that."
"Huh?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. "So, if I'd given up on myself, you wouldn't have taken me as your disciple?"
"Of course—"
Su Yu nearly blurted "Of course not," but caught himself!
He had a disciple now! He wasn't some loner!
Mind your words!
So, he pivoted, "Of course not! How could I abandon a lovely, charming disciple like Xiaoxue?"
"Eh?"
Qian Renxue blinked, confused. Was that his tone just now?
Why did it feel like he meant something else?
But it didn't matter!
His words warmed her heart!
Well-behaved, obedient, beautiful, charming!
Was this how her teacher saw her?
Perfect~
Seeing Qian Renxue's pleased expression, Su Yu smirked inwardly.
If she hadn't met his standards, he'd have, at most, made her a God King, handed her the God Realm, and left her to it!
But he couldn't say that!
It'd ruin their master-disciple bond!
Seeing her happy smile, Su Yu patted himself on the back for his quick save!
Worthy of being Douluo Continent's emotional intelligence king! (I'm a Dou Emperor! Who's got higher EQ than me? My fist!)
"Teacher, what about my talent? Two purple, one black! I'm the continent's top genius, right?" Qian Renxue asked confidently.
"You?" Su Yu sounded surprised. "Why ask that?"
"Huh?"
"With your talent, you wouldn't even rank in the Dou Qi Continent!"
"What?"
"I told you, you'd get it! Angel God, you know? Stronger than that is a God King!"
"On the Dou Qi Continent, only top-tier geniuses hit that level at birth! Got it?"
"Huh?"
Qian Renxue was dumbfounded!
What? Born as a God King?
Seeing her stunned face, Su Yu nodded, pleased.
Getting cocky with two purple and one black Spirit rings? Asking if you're a genius?
Time to taste the world's cruelty and disparity!
Sure, she was Douluo Continent's top genius, but to some, she was no different from a nobody!
Su Yu's words weren't lies!
When Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Emperor, his daughter hit Soul Saint level at birth!
A Soul Saint could crush a so-called God King single-handedly!
If he wasn't worried about crushing Qian Renxue's confidence, he'd show her what real genius looked like!
To his surprise, Qian Renxue bounced back in moments!
Her eyes blazed with determination. "There are geniuses like that out there? I'll surpass them all!"
"Huh? Bouncing back that fast?"
Su Yu was curious. "Why not mope a bit? The gap's huge! Where's this confidence coming from?"
Don't you think I'm exaggerating?
"Heh!" Qian Renxue said proudly, "I'm your disciple!"
"With you here, I'll surpass them eventually!"
She clenched her fists, pumping herself up!
"Oho!"
Her words brought a grin to Su Yu's face!
That's exactly what he wanted to hear!
Not bad! Worthy of being Su Yu's disciple!
"Excellent! With your teacher here, as long as you train hard and fear no hardship, crushing those geniuses is just a matter of time!"
…
"What was with stopping me earlier?" Fifteen Ton scratched his head, puzzled, as they stepped outside.
Falling Devil glanced at him. "You think Miss's three Spirit rings were really the Angel God's doing?"
"Of course—"
Before Fifteen Ton could finish, he caught Falling Devil's calm stare.
"Don't play dumb!"
Fifteen Ton's face flashed with helplessness.
"If not the Angel God, then who? Only the Angel God could do this."
Falling Devil stared for a long moment, then laughed. "Brothers for years, and you're still pulling that on me?"
"…" Fifteen Ton stayed silent.
Falling Devil shook his head. "Don't worry about what Spirit rings Miss absorbs going forward!"
"You said the Angel God helped Xiaoxue, so it's all by the Angel God's will, right?"
Fifteen Ton opened his mouth, a bitter smile forming.
"It's not what the High Priest instructed. Even an Angel God… can't play like this…"
"You think Miss would harm herself?" Falling Devil shook his head.
"No!" Fifteen Ton said without hesitation.
"Then why worry?" Falling Devil shrugged.
"One thing's true: it's all the Angel God's will! Don't forget, Miss is the Angel God's chosen heir!"
Both fell silent.
Truthfully, they didn't believe the Angel God crafted Qian Renxue's Spirit rings.
It was too outrageous!
As Spirit Hall priests, they were among the closest to the Angel God!
They wanted to shout:
How could the Angel God be this awesome?
Ridiculous!
But they knew nothing, and since Qian Renxue said nothing, they could only pin it on the Angel God!
It's all the Angel God's doing!
Angel God is just that awesome!
