Five years later
Inside the Worship Hall, Qian Renchuan stood before Qian Daoliu.
"Child, are you ready?"
Qian Daoliu looked kindly at Qian Renchuan before him, his eyes filled with satisfaction and high expectations.
Qian Renchuan had been clever since childhood. He could walk at one year old, and by two, he could speak clearly and chase after him while calling him Grandpa, making him grin from ear to ear.
Moreover, he had drawn the attention of a god and received the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which far surpassed the Angel Meditation Method. After Qian Xunfeng continuously deduced it with Order Divine Power, it became the Sacred God Mind Art, serving as a new foundation for the Qian Family.
Three generations in a row had produced exceptional talents, making Qian Daoliu feel that the Divine Ancestor had blessed them. Qian Renxue would become the Angel God in the future, Qian Renchuan was gifted and intelligent and would surely earn the favor of the gods, while Qian Renxuan possessed two kinds of divine power within her.
If they rose to prominence in the future, they would become the Qian Family's three blazing suns, illuminating the entire Douluo Continent.
"Grandpa, your grandson is ready."
Qian Renchuan had inherited the excellent genes of Qian Xunfeng and Ah Yin. With his golden hair and gentle eyes, he looked like a remarkably handsome little boy. His chubby little cheeks always made people want to give them a pinch.
Qian Renchuan's gaze was resolute. From the moment he handed the Tang Sect Secret Arts over to Spirit Hall two years ago, he had been prepared to defend Spirit Hall with his life.
And the facts proved that he had been right to reveal the Tang Sect Secret Arts. His wise father had further improved them.
Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon had been transformed into the even more overpowered Universe Reversal, while Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track had become Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. Every time he flashed through space, it left behind an attack-capable afterimage, making it impossible for enemies to distinguish reality from illusion. At most, it could leave behind eighteen afterimages.
At present, Qian Renchuan could only produce nine afterimages.
Jade Hand had not changed much, but the Purple Demon Eye had been quietly altered. His unawakened martial soul had transformed it into the Sacred Eye, an extra benefit of the Angel Martial Soul.
"Good. Now close your eyes and feel your martial soul with your heart."
As the light of the awakening array emerged, it filled Qian Renchuan's body.
First, he felt as though something had emerged from his right hand. Then, a Blue Silver Emperor with golden veins appeared in his palm.
"This is the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. Not bad."
When Ah Yin registered her information, she had revealed her martial soul. To Qian Daoliu, even if Qian Renchuan had not awakened an Angel Martial Soul, the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was still quite good.
After all, he carried the Qian Family bloodline. His descendants would undergo an ancestral reversion in the future, and Angel Martial Souls would eventually appear.
Moreover, Qian Renchuan was intelligent. Even if he did not possess Innate Soul Power, there were Immortal Herbs to support his cultivation. Qian Daoliu would not abandon such a sensible grandson.
Just as Qian Daoliu was pondering this, Qian Renchuan inside the awakening array felt his body grow light. Three pairs of pure golden wings immediately appeared behind him.
They were none other than the Powers Martial Soul, one of Qian Xunfeng's Four Angel Kings.
"This is actually Twin Martial Souls!"
Qian Daoliu was stunned at first, then his eyes gleamed as excitement filled his face. Although his grandson's talent did not matter to him, the higher it was, the better.
"Come, little Chuan'er. Quickly test your Innate Soul Power."
Still excited, Qian Daoliu placed the Crystal Ball used to test Soul Power before Qian Renchuan.
As Qian Renchuan placed his hand on it, the Crystal Ball immediately emitted a dazzling radiance.
"As expected, Innate Full Soul Power."
Because special Angel Martial Souls did not receive the Angel God's divinely bestowed Soul Power, Qian Xunfeng had only possessed Innate Full Soul Power back then.
Thus, Innate Full Soul Power was already the limit.
"Big Brother is amazing."
Qian Renxuan curiously ran over to Qian Renchuan's side and played with the three pairs of golden wings behind him.
"Little Sister's martial soul will definitely look even better than Big Brother's in the future."
Qian Renchuan affectionately rubbed his sister's head. He had liked this clingy little sister since childhood. Naturally, it was sibling affection, not love.
"Hehe, then Xuan'er will definitely protect Big Brother."
Qian Renxuan's large eyes curved into crescents as she kept humming a tune.
"Alright."
Qian Renchuan smiled. He would never let his little sister stand in front of him. He wanted to become the pillar of the family, succeed his father, and lead Spirit Hall toward greatness.
He had already come to understand Spirit Hall's position on the continent.
In Qian Renchuan's eyes, every soul master on this continent had received Spirit Hall's kindness in one way or another, while the Two Empires oppressed the common people.
Only Spirit Hall ruling the continent could bring light to it. Anyone who stood in Spirit Hall's way deserved death.
"Oh? Little Brother Chuan has awakened his martial soul too."
Having just absorbed her fifth Soul Ring, Qian Renxue entered the Douluo Hall under the escort of Elder Ju Gui, looking every bit like a gang leader's big sister.
It was over. Qian Renxue had been led astray.
"Ah! Sister Xue'er."
Seeing Sister Xue'er approach, Qian Renchuan instinctively took a timid step back under the pressure of his memories.
He truly did not know whether to laugh or cry when it came to Sister Xue'er. Qian Renxue really doted on him, but because he was too pretty, she often made him wear little dresses.
It would have been one thing if that were all, but she even recorded videos, saying she would take them out after he grew up so they could look at his embarrassing past. Fortunately, he had a little sister to help share the burden of wearing girls' clothes.
"Hmph. Are you really that afraid of me?"
Qian Renxue pouted, walked over to Qian Renxuan, and hugged her in her arms. She murmured, "Little Sister Xuan'er is still the best. She smells nice too."
Qian Xunfeng had been watching the show all along. Only after Qian Renchuan finished awakening his martial soul did he slowly step forward and take out the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
"Little Chuan'er, swallow these two Immortal Herbs. Father will help you dissolve their medicinal power."
"The Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!"
Qian Renchuan did know that the family possessed Immortal Herbs, but he had not expected them to even have such special ones. And it seemed as though his father had an endless supply of them, casually taking one out to crush up for baths whenever he pleased.
Of course, Qian Xunfeng was not wasting them. He had discovered that divine power was practically a cure-all on Douluo Continent.
He then immersed himself in endless research. For example, among the seeds of those Immortal Herbs, he only kept two or three to grow naturally, while using divine power to ripen all the rest.
The force-ripened Immortal Herbs could not be consumed, but they could be used for medicinal baths to strengthen the body. They were extremely suitable for children who had just awakened their martial souls.
He had also conveniently used divine power to give Dugu Qiubai and Tian Yue a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Radiant Golden Dance.
Without bothering to be surprised, Qian Renchuan was not worried in the slightest about being poisoned to death. With his great and omnipotent father present, he feared nothing.
As the two Immortal Herbs entered his stomach, Qian Renchuan's body alternated between scorching heat and freezing cold. Two forces continuously rampaged through his body.
"Still."
Qian Xunfeng used Order Divine Power and spoke a True Word, instantly suppressing the violent energy within Qian Renchuan's body.
After another two hours, Qian Renchuan slowly woke up, his eyes shining brightly.
"Father, I feel like my first Soul Ring can now withstand a thousand-year Soul Ring."
Feeling his physical constitution strengthen, Qian Renchuan spoke in delight.
He could not help feeling proud. On this continent, aside from the Qian Family, who else could use Immortal Herbs to build a foundation for their body right after awakening their martial soul?
