"Spirit Hall's Saintess?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that the person before him was the extremely mysterious Saintess of Spirit Hall rumored in legends.
But very quickly, Feng Xiaotian calmed himself, because someone who could make him feel pressure at this age indeed had the qualifications to be Spirit Hall's Saintess.
At the same time, Shui Wuhen below the stage stroked his chin, "So she's the Saintess of Spirit Hall, no wonder…"
Previously, Shui Wuhen had been wondering where such a genius came from. If she was the Saintess of Spirit Hall, then everything made sense.
As the strongest force on the continent in the open, Spirit Hall indeed had the capability to nurture such a prodigy.
Unlike Shui Wuhen's realization, some people, upon seeing Qian Renxue, showed shock.
"Qian Renxue, the surname Qian… could it be…"
In the Shrek area, Grandmaster immediately stood up excitedly after hearing Qian Renxue's name.
Beside him, Tang San asked in confusion, "Teacher, what's wrong? Is there something special about Qian Renxue's identity?"
Grandmaster slightly calmed himself and asked Tang San in return, "Little San, do you know the name of Spirit Hall's former Pope?"
"The former Pope, I think it was Qian…"
At this moment, Tang San reacted, somewhat surprised, "Teacher, you mean…"
"That's right! Exactly what you're thinking."
Grandmaster nodded and continued, "This Qian Renxue is very likely the descendant of the former Pope. Next, it depends on whether she inherited that martial spirit. If she did, then we can only give up this competition."
"What kind of martial spirit could make you value it so highly, even to the point of saying something like that? Could it be stronger than Third Brother's Clear Sky Hammer?"
Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied.
The rest of Shrek also looked toward Grandmaster, wanting an answer.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Grandmaster began to explain.
"In terms of actual combat power, Little San's Clear Sky Hammer, as the number one tool-type martial spirit in the world, naturally does not lose to any other martial spirit."
But then, Grandmaster suddenly changed tone, "However, in terms of martial spirit quality alone, that one is unquestionably number one in my understanding!"
"Stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer?" Tang San pressed.
Grandmaster nodded firmly, "Stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Hearing this, Tang San became even more interested and continued asking, "Then Teacher, what is the name of that martial spirit?"
After beginning to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang San had already felt its power. Compared to Blue Silver Grass, it was on a completely different level.
Even now, with only one Spirit Ring on his Clear Sky Hammer, among Spirit Ancestors, there were already very few who could match him.
Yet now Grandmaster said that Qian Renxue's martial spirit might be even stronger—how could he not be curious?
Grandmaster's gaze deepened as he said in a low voice:
"That martial spirit is called—
Six-Winged Angel!"
The moment Grandmaster finished speaking, on the arena, an angelic phantom appeared behind Qian Renxue.
In the next instant, circles of golden halos rapidly spread outward with Qian Renxue at the center.
"Not good—it's a domain!"
Almost instantly, Feng Xiaotian saw through the nature of her move. While shocked, he quickly flew upward.
However, his reaction was ultimately too slow. At the moment he took off, dazzling golden light burst from Qian Renxue's body and instantly enveloped him.
Qian Renxue's golden light not only covered Feng Xiaotian, but also enveloped the entire battle arena, preventing those outside from seeing what was happening inside.
But this was already a minor issue, because many had already recognized what Qian Renxue had just used—it was a Domain, something that even Title Douluo might not necessarily possess!
"A Domain!"
After hearing the discussions around her, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but feel shocked.
A Domain—one of the most coveted top-tier abilities for Soul Masters. Possessing a Domain essentially meant that in battles of the same level, one would almost certainly have the upper hand.
Because a Domain not only enhances the user but also suppresses the opponent. This increase and decrease creates an absolute gap between Soul Masters.
However, Domain-type abilities were extremely rare. Even Title Douluo only had a very small chance of possessing one; normally, they were almost never seen.
As Shui Wuhen looked at the golden light covering the arena, his eyes flickered as he thought, "Why has her Domain become so much stronger? With its current intensity, it's not inferior to Articuno's Domain."
Shui Wuhen was puzzled. Although a Domain's power would increase with level, it shouldn't increase to such an extent—it was practically a complete transformation.
Or was there some secret behind this that he didn't know?
Shrek area.
After seeing the angelic phantom behind Qian Renxue and the golden light covering the entire arena, Grandmaster let out a sigh.
"It's over. The championship is gone."
At this moment, he finally understood why Bibi Dong dared to put out a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone as the championship reward—it turned out she had no intention of letting outsiders win it at all!
Originally, Spirit Hall's team was already of high quality. Not only were all participating members at least level 45, but they also had Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—the three Spirit Kings of the Golden Generation—along with their martial spirit fusion skill, Demon Charm, holding the line. Under normal circumstances, victory was already assured.
Now, with the addition of a Six-Winged Angel martial spirit wielder, if any other academy could still take the championship, he would eat the entire arena on the spot.
At this moment, Flender saw Grandmaster's dejected expression and patted his shoulder, comforting him, "It's fine, Xiaogang. A loss is a loss. Originally, we only brought Mubai and the others here for experience. We can aim for the championship next time. And even if Qian Renxue has a Domain, with the trump card you developed, we might not necessarily lose."
"You don't understand how terrifying the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit is."
However, Grandmaster shook his head. The Six-Winged Angel was the only god-level martial spirit he knew. Not only did it possess an astonishing innate soul power of level 20, but it also came with a Domain.
If her level were low, it would be one thing—but from what they had just seen, she was at least a high-level Spirit Emperor. How were Tang San and the others supposed to fight that?
As for winning next time, Grandmaster knew that from the moment Tang San revealed the Clear Sky Hammer, the Shrek Seven Devils—especially Tang San—no longer had a "next time."
At this moment, under everyone's gaze, Feng Xiaotian, his clothes in tatters and his body covered in wounds, was blasted out from the golden space at high speed.
"Pfft—"
After landing, Feng Xiaotian spat out a mouthful of blood and then fell unconscious.
